I fear to ask, but w-what did I miss? Scrolling through the previous thread doesn't seem terribly enlightening.

Can anyone explain chalice dungeons? How do they work?

>>153852813
Read the OP

>>153853404
Which part? I don't see an explanation of chalice dungeons. I gather that you have to create them using ritual items (wtf?) But like once you create one, is it permanent? Or does it disappear after some period of time? When should I do them? What's up with the root dungeons? What's up with the ID codes in the OP and elsewhere? It's all rather weird tbqh.

>>153852813
Chalice dungeons are optional areas into which you can go, essentially long dungeon crawler areas which contain some unique bosses, a few unique items (two armour sets, one weapon and the best runes) and most importantly, the best gems. There are four types of 'story' Chalice Dungeon, Pthumeru, Hintertomb, Loran, Isz, each one being made of several layers of varying difficulty, denoted by 'depth', depth 1 being piss easy, depth 5 being bastard hard. You will also receive, in these dungeons, root chalices which are randomized versions of the dungeon you're in. You can, when making a root chalice, add certain conditions to make the chalice harder and thereby get better items from it, you can make Foetid, Rotted and Cursed (FRC) Dungeons, Foetid and Rotted spawn harder enemies more frequently and make them stronger, Cursed dungeons halve your health but also allow you to receive Cursed Bloodgems, the best type of gems, but beware as they come with a negative attribute, anything from damage vs beasts going down to your health depleting.

You can completely ignore the other of the headstones on which you make them, I'm guessing it was something never implemented.

Lore-wise, Chalice Dungeons are where the ancient Pthumerians lived and the places Byrgenwerth discovered all the horrible bullshit that resulted in this game.

>>153854003
Thanks based anon!

What chalice did you guys farm off-shape blood gems? Because I'm using: y592byza
And I've got about 3-4 radials and tris and 15-20 waning gems. It's getting silly now. The last 10 million echoes earned from farming them have been nothing but waning gems.

If I'm doing a 25/50 SKL/BLT build to make more use out of the untricked Bowblade and Chikage, is it worth going Lost for the circular BLT gem, or should I just stick to Uncanny and roll with 27.2's? I'm leaning toward the latter.

More info!

Ritual Items are items like Ritual Blood, Tomb Mould, Bastards of Loran, etc. You find all of these inside the dungeons and they are only used for making dungeons, it's just crafting materials, basically. You get your first Ritual Blood in Old Yharnam on an altar for when you get the Pthumeru Chalice from Bloodstarved Beast, but from thereon out, you find materials in dungeons or you can buy certain ones from the shops.

When you make a dungeon, it's permanent, you can unmake it and remake it if you wish. The glyphs, those strings of letters and numbers, are unique codes for specific dungeons. To search for a specific dungeon using a glyph, you must have made the type of dungeon you are searching for beforehand. For example, say you're looking for an Isz Root Chalice using a glyph, you must have made an Isz Root Chalice yourself before that. The idea of specific dungeons is they might have specific bosses good for farming types of gems or they might contain valuable items in chests and such. It's a bit confusing at first, but it honestly all makes sense. Someone might say in this thread 'Hey I found an Isz root chalice with a Guidance tier 3 rune and two blood rocks, the glyph is dncj5gd', you would go to a headstone, select 'search by glyph', enter that ID in and, if you've made an Isz root before, it'll pop up and you can go in. If you haven't made an Isz root, it'll say you haven't met the criteria.

As for when to do chalices, you can do them whenever you want, ideally you should do them during the course of the game since that's what intended, or you can wait til NG+ go to in and fuck around. Chalices don't scale like the base game, they will always remain at the same difficulty. It's kind of satisfying watching depth 1 bosses die in three hits.

>>153854986
If you're not going full BLT, then the circular ones will be useless to you. Better to have 27.2% more physical damage overall than merely 3% more BLT damage by comparison/

>>153855000
Not that anon, but thanks for the info, man!

I've always been kind of rusty with them, and now that I'm doing an ARC build, I'm supposing I'll be going dungeon spelunking for gems and whatnot.

>>153855000
You're really fucking good at explaining these things. I'd say you should redo the whole OP for the general going forward but it would still go unread.

Also checked!

>Bloodborne 2
when?

Level 85 here, where should I go to coop?

Should I just go to NG+? If yes, how alive is it and how do you deal with the damage plateau from the hard caps?

Anyone have any good male sliders? I have several good female sliders, but none for men.

>>153855596
Never, and it's probably a good thing because if it were made, you'd all sperg out like a faggot over how it wasn't as good as the original even though you knew all along that Bloodborne is a one of a kind masterpiece that Miyazaki couldn't match if he tried.

>>153855743
Bloodbornelike game when?!

>>153855878
Now this is a fair and valid question I guess. Depending on how you mean Bloodbornelike anyway.

>>153854710
Anybody?

>>153855623
NG+ only effects difficulty for you, not for who you can co-op with. Of course it resets the areas, you're limited to what you've unlocked, but other than that, you're fine to go looking for co-op.

The game is very much alive, and you'll find better co-op in harder areas and dungeons. Hell, I'm level 240 and I get pretty regular co-op in FRC dungeons.

>>153856130
I used the same one. It's the best there is. A different chalice glyph won't change your RNG. Just grind.

>doing SL4 NG+6
>spend an entire day beating Ludwig
>feel sad that I can't fight him again
Fuck, man. It was actually really fun to dodge him perfectly and learn his moves.

I hope they can implement a mechanic to refight bosses someday without having to do co-op. I'd love to fight Orphan and Ludwig again.

Thank you! I'm glad to help, they look pretty daunting but really they're fine.

As for types of gems, now that shit gets a bit complicated and still eludes me. All I know is cursed is best, and be prepared to make do with bad negative effects.

>>153856274
Yeah, if you ask me, a lot of the fun comes from the bosses themselves.
Co-op is iffy for me, since the boss now aggros other people too. I just want to fight them solo.

I just have to say, that is the greatest pic ever. Especially because I just fought that bastard yesterday, lol.

I have a BL 145 (is there a meta for this or BL150?) and I was thinking, getting to 50 of skill/str isn't really worth it, especially because my character is versatile as fuck

40 vit
30 end
35 str
45 skl
20 blt
25 arc

I was thinking of either maxing out skill but since isn't really worth it maybe getting 25 bloodtinge?

I'm currently doing the DLC at the Research Hall.

>>153855596

It might actually happen.

I'm holding on to this and a new Armored Core.

do you have any insight or just memes?

30 end is great. Especially for blades of mercy.

I got to 45 and already start regretting it, the benefits aren't as great. And i'm specifically asking if I should max it out or put those 5 points into something else and if even there's a meta for BL145~150 builds and you have answered none of that.

I thought we were keeping shitposting to a minimum this time

Blood Level. People used to say SL in Dark Souls

>>153862080
Blood level
It wouldnt be bloodborne if you couldnt tac the word Blood onto everything.

>>153861987
There's really no reason to EVER level END above 20, and most people play with 15 or less because stamina costs are so low and stamina regeneration is so high in this game. Basically you totally wasted 15 BL in END and are totally salty about it.

>>153862327
Kek'd

>>153862338

Honestly I would put at least 25 in it.20 if you want it at a minimum and uses low-cost weapons. Points wasted are points wasted. I actually really like the extra stamina cost, don't know why you're so salty about it. I can roll a lot and still hit a lot with a lot of ranged, fast, AND heavy weapons too.

How about getting to 50? Is it even worth it? I see a lot of builds that gets to 40 (sometimes 40/40) and puts those extra points in something else

>>153861987
>I-I don't like ur opinion so it must be shitposting!
You spent points on the most useless fucking stat in the game, your build is a complete unoptimized mess, you don't have any stats at the second softcap, you are overleveled as shit and you use a shit weapon. Please consider deleting your character and making a more thoughtful build next time

>>153862597
He is just trolling man. You almost always need 30 end on your builds. In your case I would level up arcane a bit for extra tool damage. Meta is around 150-200. This general can be super cancerous at times but usually we are decent people :)

Thanks man, but kinda disappointed with the tools actually. I use them more in specific situations, so I'm not gonna get 40~50 might as well just leave it.

Level your arc to 40, it unlocks A Call Beyond. It's a laser beam and works well, but it is important to keep your arcane at 40 and not more because it's only really good for ACB. And don't let those shitposters discourage you. Also what
>>153864172
said. Equip the stamina runes on top of your 30 end so you can keep pressuring the opponent.

What is "an extremely precious blood gem" as defined by the PSN achievement? I got an extremely precious rune but I don't even remember which one it was.

>>153864737

I don't know I get more damage benefits from leveling STR than from leveling SKL to max.

I might as well pump up my arcane in a new game plus, thanks though!

>>153864746

What PSN achievement is that? Blood Gem Master or something? Because I got that from finding a random gem in chalice dungeons... wasn't even a high level one.

It's really only for impromptus, but it has a messenger shop in it.

Alright, bear with me, /bbg/. I want to get into blood gem farming for my Lost Kos Parasite.

This is my set up for the slots:
RADIAL --> Arcane ATK UP +27.2%
TRIANGLE --> Arcane ATK UP +27.2%
WANING -->

Not sure what to use for the waning gem. Also, is a percentage based damage boost better than flat?

Or maybe I should be using uncanny Kos?
Sorry, this is my first time doing this.

At least 5 chalices long

Kek shit, I thought I finally understood these things after reading anon's explanation above but I might need to re-read it a second time more slowly. One chalice dungeon is multiple chalices...?

>>153871080
No, one chalice is usually three layers, occasionally four. There are five different Pthumeru chalices.

>>153871273
Ah okay I guess the 3-4 layers was the answer I was actually looking for. I probably just didn't ask the right question. Thanks.

What does a lost or uncanny version of a weapon even do?

>>153872449
read the thread

>>153872449
They have different shaped blood gem slots.

>>153871080
Here's how they work, sorry I didn't clarify earlier

They can be broken up this:
Area
Chalice
Layer

For instance in the Pthumeru 'area', there's five chalices Pthumerian Labyrinth, Central Pthumeru, Lower Pthumeru, Cursed Pthumerian Defilement and Pthumeru Ihyll.

For the other areas, Loran, Hintertombs and Isz, there's only two Chalices. This doesn't count Root Chalices since they're kind of their own thing.

Within each chalice, there's layers, literally just different floors. At the end of each layer is a boss who will either drop a chalice, root chalice, or materials/gems/blood stones.

There's actually a very neat little chalice speedrun guide in the OP you should check out, it details which chalices are 'mandatory', if you want to fight the final unique boss of the chalices, who is required to platinum the game, and how and where to get the materials for all the chalices.

>>153873509
Cool I think I've finally got it. Where is the Hintertombs chalice? I picked up all the others from bosses in the main quest but I don't have this one. Thanks again for your help friendo.

>>153874770
Hintertombs is in one of the Central Pthumeru bonus rooms I think.

>>153874770
Different anon, but you find the Hintertombs chalice in the Lower Pthumeru chalice. There's nothing useful in the Hintertombs, but you can get triangle gems from there if you need that.

>>153873509
Also speaking of main quest, I'm at the end but haven't beaten it yet. Would it change anything about my progression in, or access to, chalice dungeons if I did beat it? I was told I can't keep running around the same world, that I'd have to start NG+, so I'm not sure if that would affect chalices or no.

>>153875074
Chalices are unaffected by NG+.

>>153875501
Almost forgot, I should probably do the DLC before Gehrman though yeah?

>>153875674

>>153874770
>>153875074
You find it in the second layer of Central Pthumeru, in a side area chest. Honestly, the only thing of real note in there is the unique boss, Forgotten Madman, if you beat him you get his spooky robes.

And you can do chalices any time you want, they are effectively entirely separate from the main game. NG+ cycles don't change a thing for chalices, not even difficulty, chalice are static. You can even start a chalice, stop, go into NG+, and pick up where you left off in that chalice. You could go the whole game without ever touching them, but you shouldn't, they are parts of the game after all. You get to keep all your all chalices and you have open will remain open in new NG+ cycles.

Follow your heart anon.

>>153876829
Wheel without investing in arcane is pretty useless, since you are limiting yourself to only using the untricked form.
On the other hand, while tricked Kirkhammer is pretty fun early to mid game it becomes pretty shit at around late game, because blunt damage is the shittiest type of damage, since a lot of enemies are more resistant to it than to physical/thrust damage.

>>153876098
The true answer is BEAST CUTTER!!!.

Why don't you invest in both? All you need is 10 arcane to use the wheel. Untricked mode will be great, and no matter what your stats are dash r1 spam with Flat gems is powerful.

I use this build for my STR character except I fucked it up and went to 16 END and 14 SKL, so I'm 100. But at least I can use the church pick with Heavy Abysalls

>>153878383
On my way. We're super fucked, aren't we?

>>153876829
Just know that the strength of the Wheel comes with its tricked form which deals arcane damage.
With the best move being the Roll/Dash+R1
The R2 is descent as well.

You don't even need to invest too much in Arcane to use the tricked form effectively.
Just get some good flat Arcane Gems (+65 to +72 ARC) which are straight forward in term's of farming. And shouldn't need any save scumming to get your hands on.
Flat Arcane gems doesn't leave the untricked form in the dust either.
As it starts doing ARC DMG as well.
The only bad thing it does is make the Wheel a bit one-sided in the type of damage it deals.
(but even then, it can be compensated by having another weapon that deal a different kind of DMG-type)

I got a Wheel build at BL:51(whose ARC is at 15)
And the transformed Dash R1 does around 570-600 DMG against other players. (Who has usually way higher defence-stats compared to the rest of the enemies in PvE)

Let's just say:
It's a gank-killer.

Didn't seem too bad.
Just don't follow him, if he's backed against a wall.
You'll want as much room for your dodges as possible, and not let him trap you in a corner.

Orphan is one jumpy motherfucker.

Did they change much from the demo? I didn't really like the demo due to the weird combat, but the game seemed like it had a decent amount of depth.

>>153897064
Beta's alright, not a bad game just one that I don't particularly enjoy. Probably won't be picking up the full game.

>>153897064
Still don't like it, still feels jank, a little unfocused. Souls/Bloodborne games are so good because there's few mechanics but they have a lot of depth and take a lot to get right. I felt overwhelmed by all the different shit I haven't even seen.

I would preferred a literal reskin of Bloodborne with samurai and yokai.

>>153896620
Kek

>>153897064
I definitely see the appeal, but it wasn't interesting to me. Combat in general just felt unsatisfying.

>>153897363
They improved on a number of mechanics. For instance the lock-on has been properly implemented and durability is gone completely. I agree that the combat does feel "weird". Only 1 more day is left till the second demo ends. You should atleast give it a go since there's a new level.

>>153897372
Share these sentiments. Bloodborne's rhythm and reflexes are just too ingrained in me at this point so I'm unable to properly attune myself to Nioh's combat system since they feel quite similar.

>>153897064
>we

Is the demo grew free?

>>153897842
Oh awesome, I might have to check it out. One of my major issues with the demo was how you turned on a dime despite being locked on. It made dodging much harder. But if it actually pivots you around the enemy when strafing then it should be better.

>>153897535
>>153897743

Maybe Bloodborne is just too polished and fluid which is why Nioh's combat and overall movement feels a bit "off" to us. Hard to pin-point exactly why.

>I would preferred a literal reskin of Bloodborne with samurai and yokai

Would have loved this as well.

Damn straight. Keep in mind though that from what I've seen and personally experienced Nioh is especially more difficult for us Souls/BB because we tend to play it differently. You're gonna have to really persevere if you intend to finish the demo before it becomes unavailable tomorrow. You'll find that it has a surprising amount of content.

While we're on the topic of Nioh I would love to hear the thoughts you lads have on this actual western Sci-fi Souls. Called The Surge.

Kek well...shit. I didn't see that.

So question for you or anyone else, these complaints about the controls, do you think it's the sort of thing that could be adjusted easily enough before the actual release?

>>153896421
Bl4 runs are awful. I couldn't do it. I get too impatient for something that requires a shitload of time to do. When you know the boss it's not hard but between the time it takes to kill them and the caution you have to have. BL4 is just tedious.

>>153899189
>Sci-fi Souls
I came

Anyone have any advice for Ludwig?

>>153900154
Dodge his attacks and hit him

>>153900154
When he jumps up, blood and rubble will dribble down just before he drops back down, wait until then to dodge.
First stage he's pretty unpredictable, stay mobile and only attack when he's open.
If needs be, summon Valtr. He gets more blood vials than most summons and can carry you through the fight.
Don't let him die though. That's just mean.

>>153900154
Oh yeah, he's weak to both fire and bolt, but fire does more damage in stage one and bolt more in stage two.

>>153899798
It's not about the controls. The reason Souls/BB players have problems with Nioh is due to the core mechanics. Such as Ki Pulsing in order to regain stamina quickly. You'll understand what I mean once you play it.

>>153900154
Bait him into attacking and try to dodge right under him. But, don't stay too long or else he'll stomp you.

That being said, his stomp attack is great because you can dodge right through that last hit and get a ton of attacks on him for a while. Watch out for those multiple bite attacks. That shit will kill you if you take every hit, so be prepared to always dodge at an angle from him lest you'll end up dodging directly into the hit at some point.

For that sweeping attack he does, you can dodge directly under home (kinda awkward cause his head gets in the way if you time it incorrectly) or just hop backwards and strike his head as it comes back.

Staying directly behind him is a bad idea. Also, learn the tells to his charging attack.

>>153900545
The controls for Nioh are actually pretty tight. The only issue is that you can't fully chain different stance attacks. It's not as character action as I was hoping with the system.

>>153900807
Nioh seems like a game trapped between Souls and a character action, and it's really not sure what it wants to be. That's the main problem I have with it, it does both but neither well.

Is it worth pumping endurance to use the Stake Driver and not have to wait as long for stamina after the big R2

>>153900337
I just got him, thanks to this sage advice.
>>153900347
Second stage was actually easier I think. He has some pretty serious attacks but it's easier to stay in control of the fight I thought.

>>153899189
Gameplay looks very nice, but the set up and art direction are just horrible and too safe. Part of the reason people love Souls and Bloodborne are the different locations, the art design, Bloodborne is a gorgeous fucking game that's fun to just be in, to pick out details, that has amazing scenery. This doesn't even take the concept of industrial wasteland or ecological apocalypse to any extreme it seems, it feels way too grounded in 'reality', which is a shame.

>>153901058
I think it can do both well it just has to flow better. For the most part, I do like it's system better. It's harder but without that bullshit magnetic tracking that's made me dislike Souls games.

>>153901334
Exactly. They should have gone for a grim-dark neon cyberpunk aesthetic. With alien technology and crashed spaceships in the distance.

MIYAAZAAAAKIIIIIIIIII

>>153899189
looks interesting, although the combat system feels like it's missing something to make it unique, like Bloodborne or Nioh have

>>153901334
something tells me that it'll get crazier as the game progresses, what we've seen so far seems very early in the game

>>153902054
It's a different type of cyberpunk. It was more realistic even in it's absurdity.

>>153899189
Eh, combat looks very clunky.

>>153901765
I just want something that sticks out. This doesn't. It look like anything. It looks like it's trying to be realistic. From the looks of it, it takes neither concept to the extreme, and I don't need Waterworld or Mad Max, I just need...something, man, something that doesn't look like hyperphotoshopped background concept art from some nerd artist's deviantart account. Going for 'realism' just makes it bland and western media needs to learn that 'realism' doesn't automatically make something good.

>>153902346
I'd like to think so, but I don't want to slog through hours of pre-packaged eco-disaster concept art to make it to something interesting. If this is my first impression, I am thoroughly unsold. I had this same problem with Doom, the art direction is utter shit even though the gameplay is phenomenal and even though I enjoy it, I know it could have been so so much more. I guess that's a personal bias, I take setting and direction very seriously because it's context for why anything happens in a game.

Can someone help me take out martyr logarius pw bbg264.

>>153902746
Maybe it's supposed to be that way until you get better weapons/armor with superior tech?

Is Simons bow blade a scrub enabler or is it the meta?

>>153904963
Yes have you ever been on this website? Any game that is getting posted before release is secret shills

>>153903470

Anyone else go to shit while doing co-op?
It seems whenever I try to help people I suddenly forget how to dodge.

>>153906208
I feel so fucking bad when I die during co-op, whether I'm the host or the summon.

Does killing Rom affect the scenery in the DLC?

yes or no will suffice, I haven't done the DLC yet and want to see if I should check it out before killing spiderman.

>>153906549
No, scenery is the same no matter what

The pressure plates in the Forbidden woods are great.

hey can someone help a fellow out?

logarius is raping the fuck out of me

i'll help you slay something gloriously in return

>>153906208
I just helped an anon with Logarius and I was doing stupid shit left and right. Tried to parry with my fucking torch ffs. I'd been in a chalice dungeon previously...

>>153906208
Internet connection might have something to do with that.
At least thats what i say when i die :^). But seriously yes, its the worst getting summoned by a random guy to help him on a boss and dying in the middle of it. Did he beat it? Can he go on without me? Godspeed hunter

Picked up memewheel on my STR/ARC build. Comparing it to Ludwig's Blade at equal fortification/similar bloodgems.

The wheel is stronger its moveset isn't as versatile as Ludwig's. What's so special about it? Does it become a nuke at max fortification?

>>153907205
>What's so special about it?
It is, quite literally, a wheel.

I think this would look good on you

What's the best shit to spend insight on? What do you bros think?

Tell me your most embarrassing story, anons. BB related, obviously.


I once died to the Witch of Hemwick twice. I have no fucking clue how I managed to pull that off.

>>153907431
Been outside the fog for abit, now.

>>153907742
I usually buy all armor that is available, and once I've gotten that, maybe spend some insight on buffing consumables or upgrade materials if I need them.

>>153907743
Got got by the Celestial Emissary
It changed into it's tentacle form, I didn't notice, jumped into a point-blank magic blast
That was pretty bad.

You're not touching the fog, by chance?

The third level of Lower Pthumeru is starting to actually feel like a real area. Actually got some pretty strong enemies in here.

>>153907743
I summoned for One Reborn first playthrough, only boss I did so besides Ludwig. I kept running up to kill the Bell Maidens first, and it'd activate it's second phase(the vomit everywhere one), and I had no idea how to deal with that. However, right when I decided to summon(the NPC) I also decided to just rush in, so it was a joke as it usually should be. Literally said right afterwards, "So as I said, that boss is easy, I'm just shit.

>>153908597
no i'm by the broken part of the fence

>>153908738
Do people generally take out the chime maidens when fighting the One Reborn? I've only fought him once but I didn't bother. Just went to town on the boss himself.

So is Ludwig the greatest boss in the entirety of the souls series?

GOAT boss battle, with that shift to second phase nobody saw coming before the DLC hit

GOAT theme. When the screaming chorus comes in during phase 2 my dick is strong enough to shatter diamond

Not to mention that fight has, arguably, the best NPC summon. He has great lore, and a fun weapon as a reward, PLUS he's one of the best 'gud' gatekeepers

>>153908860
No, it literally makes the fight harder because it goes into it's obnoxious second phase. It's far easier to just attack the boss, regain easily makes up for any health the fire balls take away.

I was thinking it was Tower Knight all over again, but I was horribly wrong.

>>153908413
I'm sorry anon, but I failed her. There was only one way to right my wrongs and that was to ease her suffering
