/bbg/ - Bloodborne General

First for Kos, or some say Kosm

I love that picture

Any Co-op?

So, is anything actually weak to blunt in the game? At all?

Not many people need help with bosses before Rom (with the exception of Vicar) so it's pretty light.

Picking this game up again after DS3

I forgot how much I love this game. Still my favorite to play. It's so easy to pick up and go, then suddenly it's 4 hours later

Beast claws, MLGS, edgetana, everything just feels so fucking good

>>152674807
I agree with all of this except the part where Chikage feels good to swing around. That thing is boring and I wish there were more options for bloodtinge.

What kind of physical stats should I aim for with an arcane build? Or I guess more specifically what's the most demanding weapon I will be using with an arcane build?

Which weapon should I avoid? They all seem to have at the least a mediocre arcane scaling unless I'm missing one.

>need to farm amy

Is it safe to just completely ignore chalace dungeons? I mean I realize there's good loot in them but am I gimping myself by ignoring them or just not being optimized?

>>152674926
It's very limited in PvP but using the whole moveset against mobs and bosses is fun. Edgelord duel with cainhurst crow was godly

I would love another, but the bow blade, chikage and the blood mace (name escapes me) do a decent job of filling out a niche for bloodtinge.

I feel like something else could be added while being unique. Some sort of chain and sickle maybe

>>152675526
You'd only be gimping yourself a bit if you wanted to do lots of PvP. Chalice dungeons are also the easiest place to get echoes. 40k in seconds in the first room of ailing loran

>>152675313
If you are doing Pure Arcane (50+) you don't really have to level Strength or Arcane. If you want to use split weapons like the Holy Moonlight Sword, Tonitrus, Wheel and Boomhammer then get Strength to 20-25 and Arcane to 50. For Pure Arcane you could just stick to the starter weapons and eventually Kos Parasite. If you want to use other non-split weapons then just level Strength and Skill to the base requirements.

Blade of Mercy, Burial Blade, any weapon with Bloodtinge should be avoided for Arcane builds.

Are there any easy PvP spots at level 70+? I need to get one blood dreg for Queen Annalise before I send over Alfred

>>152678505
Mensis is a good bet.

>>152675786

Bloodletter?

>>152678505
Try invading byrgenwerth as well.

>>152675526
I'd recommend against it. You get the best blood gems in there and those are important for actually doing damage, and the shit tons of echoes you can get in no time.

Also, why would you deliberately NOT play part of the game?

>doesn't want more shit in his game due to memes
Anyone know if you can acquire both gascoigne's daughter ribbons by ng+?

>>152682898
Yes. Turn in the box, get the red from the pig, come back to the window at bloodmoon and turn in the red, reload, get the white. I'm not sure if it replaces red with white, but you can just leave the red one and have the white at the same time.

>>152682898
When you give the other daughter the red ribbon, it still stays as an option at the stump watchers, IIRC, even if it disappears from your inventory.

>>152682898
No memes about it, I just think both of the Respect gestures are shit and most of the people that use them are edgelord tryhards, usually in full or largely Cainhurst and madly flailing a Ludwig's.

It's really fucking lame that viscerals scale with skill. I am on arcane build an they are fucking worthless. I do 500-600 damage with a visceral, while on my skill build I did nearly 3k.
On an unrelated note: should I go full arcane or invest some points in strength and skill to use the wheel/HMS?

Anyone feeling up for some bro-op? I'm about to do Old Yharnam.

>>152683826
I'll join

>>152683481
It is lame that viscerals scale with skill, but they only mostly scale with skill. Overall weapon AR seems to have some impact, seeing as my arc build can hit 12-1300 damage on a visceral versus enemies with my MLG, which hits a little over 800 AR, while my weaker weapons only get the classic 500 damage visceral.

Or maybe it's just the MLG being a special case, but who knows.

>>152684032
It's cuz of your gems and HMS having physical damage. Nourishing gems help viscerals, fire/bolt/arcane gems don't.

Does anyone want to do the Pthumeru Chalice? I'm trying to grab the Fire gem to get a head start on this build, but the Undead Giant is being a total pain in the ass. I'm ringing by the lamp, pass is bbg123. The glyph is 3n7q if I recall correctly. Its the first story chalice so all the glyphs should be identical.

which is why I learned how to perform this skip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yBYDge5-2c&list=PLiYb6m4BDOeAkCrsOP2TSrMaNk5i8QBVq&index=8

It'll take some time to learn, but once you have it down, you can skip the majority of Yarhar and head straight to the boss. You miss some chunks by doing this, though.

>>152699502
Also if you look around that playlist, there's also a method to skip TOR. It's a lot harder to do than just fighting TOR, though.

>>152699008
Moving to the layer 2 lamp, if you're up for it.

>>152708651
shit, forgot to reply >>152708651

>>152707346
If you're going to go that direction you might as well go all the way to 99.

The point of Arc builds is the Tool damage anyway. Why gimp yourself at just 70 when they go up all the way to 99?

>>152708835
Maybe because not everyone wants to be level 140+.

>>152708802

>want to use my Amygdalan Arm
>99% of the FRC chalices I get summoned to have Amy bosses

>>152712520
To me.
It sounds like they mixed up the Young Male and Mature Male roar gestures.
As in the young's roar sounds way more like the mature's death scream.

>>152713114
Parrying. They're also pretty weak to being stunlocked.

Just wait till the gank squad. They're a blast.

>>152713409
Meant to say better THAN the mature male roar, good lord it's so limp, sorry. There's no way to make that good.

>>152713843
I knew what you were going at.
I was just pointing out that it sounds like they mixed the Voicefiles between the two Male Age groups.
Biggest part of why the Mature roar sounds bad (to me at least) is that it doesn't match the rest of his sound clips.

>>152675159
man a Lord Death Man style boss would have been fun, actually that gives me an idea for a little challenge;

From has come to you to design a new DLC expansion for Bloodborne, on top of the usual thing of coming up with a new area for the game comes an additional challenge, you must come up with a new boss enemy for every other major area of the game as well, what do you come up with?

>>152710454
only problem with not killing Djura and making him a friend is that it basically removes most of Old Yharnam from being playable, they really should have made it so if you become friendly with Djura that all enemies in Old Yharnam become friendly as well

How well does the axe do with arcane/elemental? As well as it does with everything else? I notice its scaling isn't exactly stellar but I was curious if its moveset/raw damage made up for that.

>>152715994
It's fine. Arcane scaling for convertible weapons is always 55% of the combined Strength and Skill scaling of the weapon, so it's not like it's particularly better or worse than any other convertible weapon.

Is LHB really the best weapon (considering moveset + damage + reach)?

I'm currently going for a LHB and a Boom Hammer on offhand.

Can't really choose between the Tonitrus or the Boom Hammer, but I do enjoy dat charged fire attack quite a lot.

I'm currently level 30 though, so I only have 18 Arcane.

Untricked Steak has a phenomenal jump attack with good reach, a comically high damage modifier and is considered thrust. The untricked R2 is good too, has a good modifier and isn't too slow to use in the middle of combat, provided you're smart about it.

Tricked, it has a really good running R1, with a big sweeping punch with a good modifier. You can also often utilize the R2 without charging it, as it does big damage uncharged and staggers like nobodies business- a great "step off" move.

Tricked or untricked either way though, you're fine just R1ing your way to victory like any other fast weapon. The real fun of the Steak comes from using the more unorthodox or difficult moves, likes the rocket punch or the jump and trick attacks. It's a sweet weapon, but it definitely takes some getting used to.

You just have to be patient with it is all in hammer mode.

I might be a casual but he is hardcore. best boss in the entire Souls series and this spin off

Also, how the muling now? It used to be the reason why the low level interactions in every DaS game went to shit.

I'm staying away from any kind of online for now in Bloodborne because of this.

Is it safe to go online? There's no point in trying the PVP if everyone is going to be using a +10 end game weapon anyway.

>>152722306
Are you by the fog?

>>152718771
>Is LHB really the best weapon?

No.

>>152722414
yes

>>152721350
Ludwig is tough, he's super tough, but an amazing fight.

I don't think I've ever been invaded in the Hunter's Nightmare, plus Ludwig's bossroom is right near a lamp, so there's very running you have to do and invaders would have little time to reach you. Also, you can only be invaded if you have co-op or if there's a bell maiden already present, and there isn't in the Hunter's Nightmare. You're absolutely safe to go online.

>>152722494
I used to invade in the hunter's nightmare all the time, but only at the first lantern, the second lantern is basically a 2 second shot to Ludwig so while it's possible to invade there, 9/10 times the host is already at the fog and will just walk in

Is there a weapon that is flatout not worth using?

Most weapons I've seen have a pretty good ratio of strengths and drawbacks.

>>152721350
There are no mules. You can't drop items for other players, and nobody knows how to save edit PS4 afaik. Certainly not on Bloodborne, anyways.

>>152722836
There are arguments for why the Boom Hammer isn't a good weapon but flat-out unuseable? Nah.

Even no rune kos parasite can be useful.

>>152722414
thanks a bunch

>>152722965

Holy shit, then I just co-oped with a legit pro player.

This nigger helped me kill Papa Guacamole, at level 10, with a Boom Hammer.

It's certainly not impossible, but getting to the DLC at level 10-ish has to be hard as fuck.

When you guys say quality build, what exactly do you mean again? 50 strength and 25 skill is what one anon recommended to me and I think he called that a quality build?

>>152723205
At level 10 you can summon up to level 32.

>>152723239
quality is str/skl
In bloodborne quality is eithe str leaning or skl leaning, as the soft cap is 25 and the hard cap 50 so you'll usually focus on one set of weapons and raise the secondary for extra ar on those weapons
you can also go 50/50 and join the horrible retards in mensis and nf who run saw spears and lhbs and hope that their inflated ar will save them from getting assblasted

>>152723352

Sheet, then I take it back.

God damn overleveled attention whore faggots.

Why when you repostite and enter the critical animation you use your bare hand and not your weapon?

>>152724947
Lore. You're ripping their guts out with your hand.

New to the game.
Want to help my pal out in a chalice.
How does the SRRC work?
He's in Lower Pthumeru.
Do I need to also have Lower Pthumeru currently open in my playthrough to help him or is it just that I've had to have already cleared it myself.
I replaced it with a different one ages ago.

I've done the chalices all the way up to Yharnam but I haven't done any root chalices.

Just finished the game for the first time, was pretty fun.

But fuck whoever designed frenzy and that singing frenzy fuck, and nightmare of mensis intro part.

FUCK

>>152726938
If you've had it open, you're good to go.

For SRRC, go buy the Short Root Ritual Chalice from the Insight Bath.
Have your buddy set a password.
Go to the SRRC headstone, it's the first one on the left row of headstones and select search for co-op.
The game will then search for your buddy ringing in Lower Pthumeru with the password and in a few minutes you'll be summoned right to him.

okay so I think I'm almost to the Shadows of Yharnam as I've found Summons for both Henryk and Younger Madaras Twin, any advice before I go and try and fight them, also which of those summons are better, and am I limited to only one or could I summon both?

>>152740258
nope im ****. cool name though

>>152740290
>any advice before I go and try and fight them
You should focus on taking 1 one, preferably the fag who spams magic. But know that if any of that get lower enough they will transform, so getting them all low so they are easy to kill when they transform is also a viable tactic

>>152739797
40 it is then

>>152740318
Welp I guess another anon helped me out and we got it. I really appreciate the offer though anon.

>>152740290
I just fought them for the first time a few days ago and I found them very easy. I killed them first try with no real threats to my HP. I am sure that the summoned hunter prevented me from getting ganged up on though. I could see it being much harder without that.

Not bragging btw. There have been other boss fights I thought were very hard. This just wasn't one, for me.

>>152740290

What are all the instances of things that reference other games in the series?
Other than the really obvious stuff like Patches and the MLGS.

People who fit certain recurring roles can count as well. Like Alfred being Solaire.
Though I would argue he's a red herring and Eileen is the actual Solaire of BB.

Don't listen to that guy. Full BLT is absolutely TERRIBLE for the Reiterpallasch. You're going to want 50 SKL/25 BLT to use both the Reiter and Evelynn. If you want to use the Chikage, then full BLT is fine, but only the bullets from the Reiter scale with BLT, so you're wasting the entire moveset if you go that route.

>>152788729
But he said he's going to use the Evelyn too so it's either 50Blt or no Evelyn at all.

>>152789645
If you plan to use it in PvP, then >=10 shots will be fine. You have blood bullets as well. Besides, if it takes you more than 5 shots to land a parry on something in PvE, why are you shooting it instead of hitting it?

>>152748879
>>152790963
Amygdalan Arm, Kirkhammer, Boomhammer, Saw Cleaver, Wheel (if you want to kill Alfred), Tonitrus, and some of my favorites, the Beast Cutter and Hunter Axe.

>>152791173
You can go to 15 ARC for Beast Roar and such, END for stamina, VIT for more health, SKL to add on to scaling on other weapons like the Axe, BLT to use weapons like the Church Cannon and Minigun, etc. It's plenty viable to only have one stat, you'll just end up lower level.

>>152790882
still learning the timing. this is my first time playing.

>>152791463
Then use the Hunter Pistol while you practice getting interrupts, then switch to the Repeating Pistol after you've figured it out.

We in there boys

>>152746090

Bloodborne is complete within itself. It is a finished thought. To press it further would be to potentially ruin the original game. A sequel is unnecessary. Perhaps another expansion? But even that isn't really needed.

Don't worry. There will be a spiritual successor without a doubt.

>>152792480
Don't bother using magic for damage if you're only going low ARC. You can use the Old Hunter Bone, Beast Roar, and Augur of Ebrietas for their utility without high ARC. I think the highest you'd need to go is 18 for Augur.

I tried this in /dsg/, but it was buried in shitposting pretty quickly. I totally fucked up one of my Demon's Souls builds, but I have a Pure Bladestone on that character. Does anyone want to help me transfer that to another character?
