What's the ideal build for using the Bowblade? I wanna do a skill build with that as the focus, and still be able to use any other skill weapon well.

I got greedy and didn't bother healing, I deserved it.

Hamlet next?

>>149462498
>>149462506
Yeah I don't plan to stop anytime soon, though I usually run through the hamlet since it's more trouble than it's worth, but I do plan on getting that blood rock.

Yeah, I'd say there is.

We're back at the lamp, Gregor

>>149463897
no ball & chain-san is worse, I literally don't even hit him after about half health, just back up and poison/bma/throwing knife him to death

Yeah, thanks for getting rid of one of the lanterns though
>i ran right into the grab attack aimed at you

>>149464547
Club and sickle is fine, his attacks are all easily dodged. It's just that he has so goddamn much health and he oneshots you with his giant shockwave hitboxes.

Cannon giant has a move with borderline no windup that just says "fuck you take 800+ damage and now you're on the floor."

>>149464598
>>149464465
Ran out of vials, damn. Looked like you guys had it under control though, yeah?

>>149465246
I died right at the end with no vials as well but Lora non had it covered

>>149465246
Yeah, he was going too apeshit. He kept jumping all over the place making him hard to hit. Great fight though. Are you guys stull up for the base game? I'm at the SoY.

>>149465473
I can do Shadows but I'll be leaving after that. Its pretty late

>>149465473
I'll be around for a bit longer, bot probably not too long. I've been up for way too long and I'm starting to feel it.

Definitely available for Shadows and maybe a little more though.

>>149463804
If you're talking about the chalice dungeon boss - bait sickle attack, dodge through sickle, punish.

His two "you spin me right round baby" attacks have major telegraphs where he reaches right the fuck back, you should never get hit by him. Unlike cannon giant's shortrange "fuck you" or the weird af hitboxes on fire doggos funtime attacks.

If you're talking about the church undead giant with the ball and chain and tracking so hard you'd think this was Dark Souls 2 vanilla, yeah I don't know either. I just bait out the spaz attack and weakly slap him, it's lame.

>>149465576
>>149465728
We shall meet at the lamp then

Well shit, keep going guys until you get the shortcut. Don't turn back

>>149466309

>>149465818
>>149464718
Funny, I've never had trouble with the cannon variant, always found his attacks easy to bait and his point blank killzone easy to avoid.

But give a giant chains and I will never beat them.

Does Boomhammer benefit more from fire gems than arcane or bolt? I'm guessing the bonus damage on its tricked moves is fire damage, so will a +% fire damage boost that in addition to changing the physical damage to fire?

>metal and piano covers

Noice

>>149476823
>>149476909
Deep Sea organisms tend to be very, very small despite looking like nightmares made manifest, very very rarely longer than your forearm. The lack of warmth and sunlight leads to extreme energy conservation, so shit's really small and basically never really moves unless it gets something in its mouth. Which isn't really any better, because the idea of anglerfish and gulper eels, literally floating toothy stomachs, just gaping maws in the darkness, is fucking awful.

More fun: there's one type of fish that has an invisible spotlight. The colour red is the first type of light to be absorbed by the blackness, so nothing down there has evolved the ability to see red, except this one fish, so it emits red light that only it can see to hunt effortlessly.

Also, look up deep sea gigantism for extra fun.

Hail the Nightmare is the official name for the chanting you hear in the Hypogean Gaol. Soothing Hymn is the music from Upper Cathedral Ward.

You can summon higher and lower levels with passwords, but you will get scaled down, or they'll get scaled down, whoever has the lower level. Gems and upgrades can still matter a lot, though, I've seen some folks amazed at how strong stuff was despite them being pretty early game.

do they fucking hate their fanbase or something? It's a simple recolour, it was in the game.

I was always curious, what was the reasoning behind the covering of the eyes for djura and gascoigne?

>>149524495
Impending beasthood. Your pupils turn to mush and collapse, so people at that stage cover their eyes.

Personally, I think the only damn reason Djura wasn't being eaten alive is he was one step from beasthood and the beasts around him just smelled him as another beast. He was just very, very dedicated to remaining human. I wonder what type of beast he'd becoming if he had repressed it so hard.

So what's a Skill build that'd let me use the Bowblade and its projectile effectively, while still being able to use any other Skill weapons to max effectiveness?

>>149527289
50skl50bt

>>149527374
Well shit, that's way over level with 50 Vit... damn, was really hoping to do some Mensis PvP with a decently build Skill character. 10 BLT will allow me to use basically any gun, right?

>>149528045
Any gun except evelyn really but that doesn't matter if you haven't invested much in blt

>>149529000
So just go 50 Skill, 50 Vit, and whatever? Alright.

>>149529283
That works. 50 skl, 50 vit, whatever str level you need to use the weapons you want, whatever end level you're comfortable at, 10 blt to be able to use reiter as another option, and if you have more points to throw away, 15 or so arc.

>>149529630
What's the 15 ARC for?

>>149530089
Just hunter tools like Old Hunters Bone and Beast Roar, but that's not essential at all. Don't bother with it if you don't have enough points remaining.

>>149530686
Well, I've got a Professional, with 50 VIT, 50 Skill, 15 ARC, 13 END, 10 STR and 10 BLT, all at level 98.

That works, right? A bit little endurance, but I can just get the rune for that.

With a chain that hard snapping, probably a Bloodletting Beast.

In retrospect, Gascoigne was a pretty shitty cleric, absolutely falling to pieces like that. His humanity snapping was absolutely pathetic.

>>149536157
Fist of Gratia? Strange choice.

>>149536730
Everything else I had on me was way too overpowered. At least now I know that it even staggers big gascoigne quite hard.

>>149536817
I figured that was it, yeah. What's the point of the Fist anywho?

>>149537019
It has a ton of stagger power. That's about it, the damage is nothing significant, and it uses a ton of stamina too.

>>149537019
I haven't played around with it, but it probably lets you actually get hits with stuff like Logarius' Wheel.

He's pretty good, but his telegraphs are insanely easy to read and he does have long periods of inactivity.

Similarly, Maria is too easy to bully with nopoise and while Ludwig is one of the most aggressive "large" bosses in videogames, he does rely on abuse rolling i-frames to get out of shit like him landing right on top of you.

I'd say Orphan of Kos balances and pushes Bloodborne's mechanics the best. Parry-able, but it requires heavy reading and quick timing. Aggressive while not being too hard to punish or too easy. Open to just about every playstyle while being easy for none of them.

Only downside is that he's another fucking screamboss. So much screaming. My fucking head, goddamn.

Gehrman is designed as the ultimate test of everything you learned throughout the game.

If you have gotten gud and can parry and dodge well, he isn't particularly difficult.. Because you passed the test.

Much like Gascoigne is there to say to new players 'Don't be a fucking pussy, learn to parry', Gehrman is there to say 'Alright faggot, have you got gud?'

>>149539140
No way, his first phase is way too easy and his AI in the second can be abused so you can just parry him over and over again. Ludwig is better in mostly every way. I'd say Orphan, but slightly relies on trial and error with how weird his attack movements can be, unless someone has really good damage it's unlikely anyone beat him on their first try. That last part isn't really a requirement for how good a boss is, more like how balanced a boss is.

That's not always a reputable way to tell. Either way, if you basically invade people to help them (BB's method) and you're not getting any action, then that obviously means there's not much activity in that area/online. It's actually a better system because you can tell within minutes if there are, or aren't tons of people that need help.

What level should I roughly be if I want to help people with the DLC bosses?

>>149545539
>It's actually a better system because you can tell within minutes if there are, or aren't tons of people that need help.

Hey /bbg/ have you noticed that the holy shawl on the female church garb is supposed to represent the vagina? With the two hanging tails representing the labia, and the knot at the top representing the clitoris?

Really makes you think.

>>149546064
Nice confirmation bias, you didn't put any thought into it at all. With signs you are limited to whether or not someone actually sees your sign, if they can get it, or if it fails to connect. In the Cathedral of the Deep there were tons of signs before the Deacons, but not many people needed help on them so you would have to wait awhile before you could be summoned. In Archdragon Peak, tons of people needed help on Nameless King, but there weren't ever enough signs to fill the quota. With BB's system, whether or not your are summoned is determined on the game finding a hosts world for you, not a host having to find you first. If you're waiting and nothing is happening, it obviously means there's no-one around. It's not hard anon, you just need to use that brain of yours.

I'll save you the trouble and tell you that BB is mostly dead, you're most likely to find people by invading them in Mensis.

You're not overlevelled, I did a playthrough a week ago and that's where I was when I had finished everything in the game up to Orphan. There just isn't anyone in the DLC. Especially not that far, you'd probably be more likely to find some at Ludwig but it's still unlikely

>>149545878
98 is a good stopping point since it allows you to be summoned by 65 - 148's. I constantly get summoned while being at 116 so you're good at 84.

>>149546498
So I complain about a design issue that permeates the entire fucking game and you reply with a specific case of the opposite not working, as if that indicates that the entire system is a failure, and I'm the one with confirmation bias?

Save me the trouble? I know you can get constant invasions in Mensis. I know, because I have like 8 fucking playthroughs in this fucking game, and maybe, just maybe, this isn't my first time fucking around with the multiplayer.

I like the co-op aspects of From's RPGs. After the first few playthroughs, I normally don't even solo bosses any more, preferring to summon constantly and enjoy dicking around with a partner. This has worked in every game so far, whether giving or receiving. Even Dark Souls 2, and the multiplayer in that game is infamously fucked.

So why, friend, does Bloodborne hate multiplayer so much as to make you rely on guesswork? That's what this is. I'm guessing that I'm not going to get summoned. I'm guessing that nobody is summoning. I'm going to guess that most people don't even know that you can summon through opponents.

And you're saying that the guesswork is a better system because you can guess faster than everyone else. Must be using that brain of yours just that much better.

I mean it makes sense, the shawl on all the male characters has just the single tail, which comes to a pointed tip, which is phallic. And yet all the unisex garbs with the shawl have only a flat squared tail, they have no gender defining characteristics. Only the garbs with the shawl that are different between the genders display sexually dimorphic shawls.

For real though, Winter Lanterns aren't that hard to farm. You get your frenzy resist relatively low, parry the grab and then get the visceral as close to the top of your frenzy bar as possible. You get i-frames when you're in animations, so you won't take any damage when the frenzy pops.

>>149551218
The same way you make any low tier weapon viable: Dedication to use it enough to learn what it does best and capitalize on what you find out.

Also blunt gems if you're a strength build, nourishings if you're an arc build.

Either way, you'll probably see more success with it in lower level PvP than 80+. Try 50-65, maybe.

The only downsides are the short range and limited movesets. It's a ridiculously fast weapon, the charge R2 is just a gimmick. The DPS potential is BoM tier. I used it for my first playthrough and I managed to beat Gehrman first try and Ebrietas on like the 5th or 6th. You're meant to use it aggressively.
TLDR Stake Driver is bae.

Any depth 5 chalice really, just pick one with a simple boss like Watchers or Brainsucker on layer 1, wear some eye runes and remake the chalice after you beat the boss over and over.

Skill, blood gems to some degree, and levelling up. Weapon damage doesn't affect it.

>>149549630
Projectiles
Especially from bosses

>>149559625
Skill softcaps at 25 which means you get less scaling off of it and then again at 50 which means you get close to nothing.

While Hunter Tools are a lot of fun to play with, unless you intend to pump ARC to the point where they're absolutely devastating I wouldn't bother with them on a skill build.

You absolutely want VIT at 40-50, IMO END is a waste of points, and consider distributing ARC to either STR (if the weapons you plan on using have any scaling at all) or Bloodtinge for burst damage and sick Evelyn fashion.

>That memory is going go scar her.
I don't know, from the sounds of it Logarius tried at least several times to do the same thing. She doesn't seem that bothered by it.

>>149562138
Meh. Tearing a hymen is not really guro anon. It's a very minor injury and doesnt satisfy the lust for blood and wounds guro fetishists crave.
But I suppose one thing can lead to another and next you know you are fucking wounds on her arms and whatnot because she heals within minutes anyway.

>>149562287
Exactly, it's the healing factor that means you can do crazy shit and 1) she's so inundated to pain she probably enjoys it and 2) you have free license to draw basically whatever

>>149562258
What she shows and what she feels are two different things, tho. Unless she literally became superhuman in several regards she should be bothered by it. Apart from the fact that we are horrified by wounds and death because they have longlasting or permanent effects on us, which she can ignore, it still hurts like hell (probably unlike anything anyone should be able to endure because they are long dead when it gets really messy but well, she can't die) and being a sentient lump of flesh (unconfirmed) is gonna be really uncool on your psyche.

If I had a dollar for every time I killed some poor AFK son of a bitch in Nightmare of Mensis, I'd be a pretty rich asshole.

First playthrough. How the fuck I beat this shit? Only have Chalices, Moon Presence and this cunt left (and DLC bosses, left it untouched until lategame).

>>149563783
Roll to her side, take a few hits. When she starts to telegraph her arm swipe, roll away. Repeat.

You really want a 350 AR+ weapon to do that, though. If you're eating dick, consider taking some time to do some Chalice dungeons for good gems, or the DLC bosses, whatever you need my man.

>>149564467
Thanks, will continue to gid dud. Please don't tell me she is boss in "story" Chalices.

>>149564937
Okay. She's not a boss in the story Chalices.

She is though.

>>149564937
I won't say a word

She is

THE LEGEND vs [enter fav bb memebuild here]

Who would win and WHY?

Why didn't anyone ever tell me how insane oil urns are? My fire Whirly was doing 3K damage an R2 to Ebrietas' head before it was even broken.

>>149566112
Oh, yeah, consumables scale. They're pretty rad. Missed a Bone Blade against the Shark Twins so I just Urn/Molotov'd from the Winter Lantern ledge for 1K a pop.

>>149565930
I think an ayyy would outrange and outmaneouver a Giantdad

>>149565930
Depends. Are we playing by DS or BB rules? You can't stunlock for shit in BB.

What's a good 2nd playthrough build? I hear a lot of people talk about Arcane and Bloodtinge, what are they like?
Is Arcane similar to an INT build in Souls? I don't even know what a Bloodtinge build would be similar to.

>>149567731
Arcane is Magic/Faith/Luck bundled into one. You only get about 10 spells, don't get too excited, but they're pretty fun to fuck around with and the weapons that benefit from Arcane are fun as fuck too.

Bloodtinge increased your gun powah, gives you a couple of reeeeaaaall heavy hitting guns, on top of the gun-cocaine that makes your gun gun harder. And a couple of blood-focused weapons are based on it. Honestly I can't really vouch for it, it's very endgame oriented which translates to boring as fuck for 25 hours.

>>149567731
Arcane is basically the BB magic stat, you get to use tools for damage and convert weapons without split damage to elements
Bloodtinge is a unique build to BB, it increases gun/projectile damage and has a few weapons which have incredibly high scaling with it. Those weapons are locked behind a few walls but it's not hard to get to cainhurst and grab weapon number 1 with a +6 saw or something.

Miyazaki stated none of 3 ongoing projects in From are BB or DS. And not to expect any of those fast if ever.
This is fake, well done but fake

>>149569170
>they're actually making new IPs
Woah.

Well I mean one is probably Armored Core but still.

Beast Claw, what's better: One heavy, two 27% or two heavies, one 27%?

>>149569732
Depends on your build
If you're 50str/25skl one heavy 2 27s, if you only have base or sub 20ish skill, two heavies
you can also tell this by just slotting in the gems yourself

>BB or DkS rules

both. Who would win in each world?

>Kill Orphan the exact moment the beckoner dies
>Prey Slaughtered, Vermin in the pocket

Huh, wonder if it counts as a win for them, though?

>>149570472
Dark Souls: Who can say. Speedy Gonzales with ranged parries and fuckloads of heavy-hitting pokes, but fucked if Giantdad scores a hit. Although if the Hunter scores a hit first on Dark Souls rules, that makes it anyone's game.

Bloodborne: Meme hunter wipes house. Giantdad's thing is stunlocking people to death. You can't stunlock for shit in Bloodborne, especially not with heavy weapons. Stamina is useless.

>4 stats that scale damage
>SKL adds viceral DMG
>ARC adds tools usage and rate discovery
>BLT adds Gun DMG

Every.Time

I just started playing BB and trying beat the game as fast as possible what should I invest on?

>Threaded cane + Saw Spear
>10 VIT, 12 END 9 STR 25 SKL 7 BLT 8 ARC

Currently at Old Yharnam and going straight for Blood Starved Beast am I going to get a huge boost in DMG if I raise SKL to 50? of course upgrading and gems help but I've no idea where to even get chunks once I'm done farming a bit in the Unseen village for Echoes and Twin shards right after this

>>149568406
>bt is boring pre-endgame
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
BT builds only really hit it off around 80ish, that's true. Before that point, depending on what stat distribution you use, you are however entirely viable as a "skill build in development" or you are so cucked by your own desire to be stronk vampire Vergilucardchimaru that the game assrapes you every step along the way until you get the Chikage and Evelynn which just adds to the challenge and shouldn't be boring at all. More like terrifying.

Hey /bbg/
Considering a pure STR or pure ARC build.
Which one is hardest to get gems for from dungeons?

>>149571552
It really isn't hard to just raise vit and upgrade a saw without investing in a damage stat until you get to cainhurst, the idea that bt is a hard build to make is retarded

>>149571360
You get an extra 50-80 damage out of the weapon? Not bad by any stretch.

You shouldn't have to farm, like, fucking ever. Earliest you'll get chunks is Nightmare Frontier or Unseen Village. The top bit, you don't get there until much later.

Would advise pumping VIT and ignoring END.
