well finally managed to beat the goddamn Bloody Crow, that was an ordeal

Going through Lower Loran, BL 80, if anyone wants to drop in.

Lore question: Does the game take place in some post apocalypse scenario or is this just an average tuesday for yharnam?

Pro apocalypse:
>bodies everywhere
>graves and abandoned coffins everywhere
>crazy mutated monsters
>important buildings are abandoned

Pro average night:
>hunters you meet seem to be doing 'normal' things(searching through byrgenwerth, spying on mensis school, hoontin hoonters)
>sane people you meet dont ever talk about apocalyptic events
>villagers cooperate and patrol the streets

So to me it looks like the whole city is doomed, but nobody acknowledges it?

>Stuck on Ludwig for four hours

Ain't even mad. Just wish I could stop dropping all the spaghetti in phase two.

>>154365336
At the beginning of the game, in the evening, all NPCs in their houses call it the Night of the Hunt and chastise you for being outside. So this isn't the first time the beasts have been out and townsfolk/the church/hunters have been killing them. Those NPCs are basically "Yo we're gonna wait this one out inside, you're screwed outside bruh"
However, talking to the Chapel Dweller gives you a bit more information about this particular night. He says it isn't like regular hunts, that it's unusually long, and people are turning while in their homes guarded by incense. Rescue 4 people, and he'll tell you there are no more survivors in the city. Yharnam is done for.

So to answer your question it starts out as any other night of the hunt, but very soon becomes much deadlier, much more widespread, and much, much more sinister, but by that time only a handful of people, you included, are there to witness it. And most of those people go insane.

>>154365336
It's neither.

>Good, good. I've been waiting for one of your ilk. These hunts have everyone all locked up inside. Waiting for it to end... It always does, always has, y'know. Since forever. But it won't end very nicely, not this time. Even some folks hiding inside are goin' bad. The screams of wimminfolk, the stench of blood, the snarls of beasts... none of em's too uncommon now. Yharnam's done fer, I tell ya.

The night of the hunt is a special event that occurs during full moons/blood moons. Most of Yharnam locks themselves away during these nights whilst the hunters go about cleaning up the 'infected'. But tonight things are particularly crazy. It's not pre or post apocalypse, it's mid-apocalypse.

Well not strictly apocalypse since it seems to mostly be a contained issue to Yharnam and the surrounding area.

>>154365706
>he'll tell you there are no more survivors in the city
This can't really be taken as fact since you can rescue all four of them and still speak to other people in their windows.

>>154365336
>>154365706
Actually, I want to address a few more things.The villagers are co-operating with each other but are clearly insane. They're turning into beasts and identify you as a monster/beast because you have a different appearance and scent. Working together, yes, but like a pack of animals.

And many of them when killed say "This town's finished" so there's that.
There's a note in Yahar'Gul saying the Mensis Ritual must be stopped ,or we shall all turn to beasts.
And Laurence leaves a note in the lecture building about how Evolution without Courage will be the end of Humanity.

So again, yeah, normal night of the hunt, but all the underlying factors of the hunt, like the nature of the scourge, the role of the cosmos, truth of blood ministration, etc, are coming to a head on this Night of the Hunt and everybody is fucked.

>>154366094
I think killing Rom turns things post-apocalypse. Everyone in Yharnam is dead or turned, the few survivors you saved are also either dead or insane, every NPC hunter you've met is either dead, blood-addled (and then killed), or bestial (and killed).

>>154366216
I may be iffy on the actual words, but he does say there is no one left to save. And the NPCs inside their houses all go insane and, soon after, their lights go out.

Besides, all your survivors get fucked up. Except maybe the skeptical man, I think he turns out okay?

I still want this guy to post his sliders.

>>154366341
You can save those four and both Gascoigne's other daughter as well as Gilbert are still surviving and will talk to you, not to mention Alfred, Eileen, etc.

It's just something to tell the player the chapel is maxed, not an omniscient foresight from Oedon itself.

>>154367723
Gilbert is infected and turns, there isn't any way to change that. Doesn't Gascan's older daughter go insane or die, regardless of what you do? The light is out there as well, says "no response".

I understand the dialogue is there so nobody goes around frantically searching for somebody else, but it does highlight how virtually no other character in the game can stay alive and sane, i.e. there is no one left to save because everyone who isn't dead is doomed one way or another.

>>154365336
I think it starts out just like any other Hunt, but as the night progresses, and especially post Rom, enters point-of-no-return territory. I also think Yharnam's been slowly falling apart for a long time, and the game takes place on the night where it got completly fucked.

>>154368182
>Doesn't Gascan's older daughter go insane or die, regardless of what you do?
If you give her the ribbon she'll kill herself. If you ignore her the lights'll go out and you'll get no response, same as with her little sister.

It's important to note that she only appears at the blood moon, which is when everything reaches critical mass, and she remains sane up until you give her the bloodied ribbon of her little sister.

>>154368752
Yeah, so there is literally no one to save. Nobody makes it out with you.

I was just farming watchers and got a fire radial, I didn't think Pthumeru watchers dropped elemental gems?

>>154369405
Pics?

Any effect is possible but it's just ultra rare, someone got a 23% Radial Nourishing one time, and a 32.6% Bloodtinge Gem.

The guy in the cathedral can survive if you don't bring the beggar beast or don't kill him, and relatively sane too...

>>154370015
I'm guessing you arnt an Arcane build?

Because with that gem you could have the best fire weapon in the game, since could have +flat fire as a secondary effect on 2 Cold Abyssals or another 27% fire.

>>154370301
Unfortunately not, skill build.

But what about all the mutations? Are the fishmen in the hamlet normal for yharnam? What about the sluglike students of the college? Or the beings with the meatbobbleheads?

Goddamnit. I can't fucking do it.

I've solo'd him before, at a lower level, although possibly with better gems and more vit. Either way this is ridiculous. Seven fucking hours. Fuck.

>>154370439
Need help, anon?

Is it possible for ANY gem to be off-shaped? I've been trying to farm an off-shape flat fire gem for 5 million echoes and never gotten one.

Is it also possible for an off-shape from a chest?

>>154370257
I've seen pictures of both, the BLT one was in this very general.

Watchers can potentially drop the highest primary effect of any gem type (except STR/ARC scaling) it's just really fucking rare outside of Tempering, Adept and Elementals in Isz. Best possible poison gems come from them, but it's so low of a chance it will probably never happen in a lifetime of farming.

It's a horribly designed system. They should have made No Secondary effect a secondary effect that could appear on any gem, not limit it to Watchers. They should have also made every single effect on Watchers be an equal drop chance, but also ensuring ever effect had somewhere to farm with no more than 3 effects in the drop pool.

>>154370595
I don't think chests can be offshapes, but it's not something you can confirm without opening 1000s of them.

Offshape Flat Fire gems should be possible, but I've heard people complain before (was probably you), so maybe there's a hidden mechanic.

>>154370545
Nah, I'm gonna solo him. I'm just really pissed off that I can't so far, especially after seeing some other anon say he did it at a lower level, and having done it myself.

>>154370421
>Are the fishmen in the hamlet normal for yharnam?
Either Kos or Burgers and Fries messed up with the people in the hamlet, given that Burgerworth were opening their brains to see what's inside it must have been Kosm.
>What about the sluglike students of the college?
No idea of what they are, maybe the same as brainfuckers and the fly people
>Or the beings with the meatbobbleheads?
That was the choir and their experiment with blood.

>>154370709
I'm sure someone here has a saved pic the 32% Blood, it was posted in bbg ~2 months ago.

WATCHERS. CAN. DROP. ANYTHING.

>>154371125
Well, now I'm going to have to farm watchers until I die...

>>154371007
No, they are 31.5% gems. Offshapes from a Shotgun Fatty mob. They are common drops as Circle gems, but to get Radial, Triangle or Waning requires 1000s of farming runs. Since it's a standard mob it can only go up to Rating 18.

32.6% is a rating 19 gem which comes from Layer 1-2 bosses, meaning the Radial 32% BLT gem came from Merciless Watchers boss, which is unheard of.

>>154357656
What's that from again? I know I've seen that full clip on YT, but I can't remember what it's called.

>>154370817

The Hamlet was befote the hunt, I think. It's never made clear when the hunt started but Gehrman was the first and he was associated with Laurence so it have must been after he left Willem.

>>154372219
Whatever you do, don't touch the Red Jelly.

Do eye runes make a difference with gem rarity? Particularly with bosses. Does it affect chances of off shape gems?

>>154372863
> rarity

No

> out of shape drops

Some people claim it does, but it's probably just placebo. It's hard to accurately test what affects droprate on something that has an estimated 1% droprate.

Holy mother of fuck BB just pissed me off. I love this game but its ability to get under my skin is just uncanny.

Nerves are already frayed from not being able to kill Ludwig. Then for some completely insane reason fucking Lower Pthu Watchers were pushing my shit in. Then the game tried to hide a 51K bloodstain from me.

Got the stain, and the boss, eventually but Jesus fuck. Think I'm ready to take a couple days off already.

>>154375404
> tfw I've never sold I Bloodgem
> never know when I might need them on a back up weapon

It takes minutes to scroll through my gems, and it's probably not good for the games's memory to have God knows how many unique items in my inventory. But I can't do it, my digital hoarding instinct is too strong.

>>154376357
I have to keep selling them, drives me insane having to wait to scroll through them all. I keep any get ones in storage.

Common ones, I just sell. Rarer ones, like ones with piercing buffs (I don't know if they're actually rare, they just never seem to drop for me) I keep 2 or 3 of until I find a higher rank, then trade up accordingly.

I'm thinking of doing a Blt/Str build for xboxhueg guns and the bloodletter. What's the best starting class? Also should I go 28 str or 30 str? This seems like a hard build to pull off at BL98.

Of course, if you really want to use the Chikage for some reason you can take the extra point out of vit and put it into skill.

>>154377685
Take 2 points off VIT then you can use the Bow Blade as well. Make it an all-round BLT build.

Or instead of cutting VIT cut points of BLT instead, each point after 25 only gives 0.014 scaling saturation, so having 48 instead of 50 won't cause anything drastic. 4 AR isn't really a big deal in exchange for ~40 health. or go to 100 instead of 98, it's a dumb number and chosen for reasons that are no longer relevent. 100 is a nice clean stopping point and no one will care.

Either one in vit, three in end or all four in vit.

Yeah, pretty torn between VIT and END

Someone once told me weapon durability down curse doesn't stack (so, 3 -63 durability curses would remain just -63 durability)
Is this true?

i like to think that the slug fellas in the lecture building are the result of evolution without courage. They literally have no back bone. I believe that is what the note is referring to.

Getting ready to start farming some arcane gems in an Isz Root Chalice.

First, I'm going through an FRC Isz, though. Trying to get to the lever room in Layer 3.

What is a good bread and butter for a strength build? I'm stuck between ludwig's, axe, and kirkhammer. I like all of them really and can't decide which to take to +9 first

>>154384621
Out of the 3 I'd pick Hunter Axe. But Whirligig Saw is really good if you don't have it yet.

>>154384621
Axe

Cuttah.

But out of those, Kirk. Memeblade and Haxe, whilst fun, are overpowered as fuck through moveset alone.

What gems you farming?

>>154388879
Radial | 18 | 23.1% arc + 2nd stat | Bone Ash Hunters

Triangle | 19 | 27.2% arc | Isz Watchers

Both come from Isz Root chalices, just different glyphs. I'll be savescumming the watchers, too, so if anybody would like to join, I'll be happy to have more people.

I'll start the actual farming in about an hour or something.

Can you give me the tl;dr of this weapon? I'm not the fag who asked, but I just did the DLC and you get a ton of weapons at once and I haven't familiarized myself with any of them yet.

Alright lads, thinking of going for my first proper bloodtinge build here, as it's the only one I've never tried.

Obviously Chikage and Evelyn are the go-to's, but is there any way to not have the bloodtinge stat be totally worthless until cainhurst?

>>154389327
Ludwig's Holy Blade

Not Holy Moonlight Sword

>>154390514
Nope. You get to do more damage with your basic gun, but that's all you can do. You just rush Cainhurst as fast as possible.

>>154390707
I got that but why meme? I don't understand the word meme anymore. Is it a meme?

>>154390039
Str version of the Threaded Cane that's a little slower but hits harder and has longer range.

>>154390828
It's called Memeblade because it's the most boring weapon in the game, but most casuals use as a crutch because of it's A/A scaling.

>>154390838
Whoa that actually sounds like the fucking jam man.

>>154365553
>Cutter
My nig.

>>154391018
It doesn't have the Righteous attribute in untricked mode like the Threaded Cane though.

But that's kinda negligible since that bonus only affects the mobs found in cainhurst.

Does the fact that some builds aren't even slightly accessible until late game annoy anyone else?

It shouldn't be that there is physically no way to build bloodtinge or Arcane until so late in the game.

>>154391430

I have no problem progressing in the game, I've played through it like 5 times now.

What I'm saying is that it seems like bad game design that certain stats are effectively useless until you're post Rom.

>>154392643
I've only played through once but I'll be honest, I was also wondering what to do with a BLT or ARC build in the early game. I think you just pick a weapon and use it though, mate, then you get the weapons you're going for.

>>154393620

Last ARC playthrough I rushed Logarius wheel, which if you're gud you can get immediately post rom.

With BLT you just have to wait until Cainhurst though. There's really no other option.

>>154393743
You can get the wheel long before getting to Rom though?

>>154394026
You can do Cainhurst before Rom, yes.

>>154392643
>>154393620
With Arcane just use the Fire Saw Spear throughout the whole game. With Bloodtinge you can just shoot everything with the Repeating Pistol. +6 Saw Spear and Reppy Pistol should get you through Logi just fine.

>>154390039
Just to add to what other Anon said, untricked hits like a fucking truck stagger-wise so don't be shy with it, and tricked will take a lot of getting used to but once you've got it down it's great.

>>154390828
It's the most commonly used weapon in the game. In my experience (and a lot of people have echoed the same or similar sentiments) 5 times out of 10 when I'm beckoned or when I invade the host will be using it.

FC when?

>>154390514
You don't really want to touch Bloodtinge until you've got the Chikage anyway. Just level Vit so you've got a better chance with Logarius and upgrade whatever weapon you like to +6. Haxe is probably best because you can just spin2win.

>>154391676
Arcane is actually really viable early-game if you follow this guide. Only real challenges are Gascoigne, the first area of the DLC if you do it, and Ludwig (and even then, he's not nearly as much of a stonewall as Logarius is to early-game bloodtinge builds).

>>154395207
11pm GMT, 6pm some American timezone

>>154391676
Arc can be made viable after killing BSB and BLT can be made viable relatively quickly after killing Amelia. Considering up until those points your stats are fairly negligible, it's not so bad.

Best creature design I think, aside from Garden of Eyes. We don't even know what they are, but they were once people, they were Forgotten Madman-like robes and have phantasms bursting from their heads. They eat eyes, but for what purpose?

>>154397813
>any brainsucker who remembers his spells.
Honestly the spells are all fairly easy to dodge. For my money, the most bullshit part of them is their one instant start-up grab out of all of their different grabs.

Welcome back to the dream!

So anyone free to help through Lower Loran (I'm at darkbeast) and then Ihyll?

At what point have I put too many points into endurance? For a strength character who's interested in big weapons.

Is 25 too much? I'm worried I may have put a few too many points into it.

>>154401523
You shouldn't need more than 20 Endurance plus Anti-Clockwise 2.

Or you can go to 99

>>154401370
Sounds like a plan! What's the pass, boss?

>>154401370
Give me like 20 minutes.

>>154402123
Nice! bbg

>>154402140
Sure thing.
Might still be at Darkbeast by then

I've gotten him down to about 20-30% consistently before I get one-shot.

Am I safe to try the DLC at level 69 (NG, first playthrough) even if I'm not gud?

>>154402345
You ringing at Carl's fog or lamp?

You should be fine at 69, with a +9 or +10 weapon.

Lamp.

Yeah, I think I should wait then. My best is +6 right now.

This is purely out of curiosity here, but would /vg/ have any interest in streaming 'long-plays' of bloodborne? I can solo 100% the game (minus chalice dungeons) in around 20 hours. Picking up all loot, completing all questlines and all bosses. I also play at autismo level of role-playing with my characters, having intricate backstories between all of them that dictate their builds, weapons and fashion. I've tweaked my original characters to fit the bloodborne lore as well.
I know the game mechanics in good detail, and have put over 600 hours into the game, but I still haven't explored the deeper chalice dungeons or really dabbled in PvP that much. I'd like to play the game with the bells ringing all the time to get as much online play as possible. Or even try speed runs after a while.
I also have a qt gf

Just ring your sinister in the start of each area, and then beckoning. The chalices are fun, and roots offer a lot of replayability to the chalices.

I've been role-playing the same 8 characters in every game I possibly could, ranging from D&D 3.5 to Diablo 2 to Oblivion for about 15 years, and working on their story the whole time, I'm about halfway through my first of 3, 1000+ page novels about them. Role-playing in these games helps me visualise, describe and expand on my characters.

Ringing, Tony?

>>154409245
Nah, go without me. Something came up, sorry.

Hey let's pretend I didn't just do that.

Alright nignogs, doing NG+ on a strength/quality build. Already got Str and Vit at 50, skill at 25, and I just now got my Arc to 15 so I could start using a few of these tools. What should I level up from here though? Is raising my Str/Vit over 50 a waste? Should I pump more into Arc? End is only 17 so it can't hurt to improve that a little. I don't know, I just didn't think this far ahead with my stats. Thoughts?

>>154410893
END is fine gouge vit or shove Skill further up

Man I wish my internet wasn't so bad lately. I want to join everyone for the fight club, but my connection is so bad I've been getting hit by moves that aren't even being swung. I guess now I know what it's like to be the BR.

visceraling, spamming large r2s like lhb or bb

>>154411516
>>154411635

Level ranges are a thing, there isn't really any way to enforce over leveled characters, but a 150 will simply not connect to anyone who is 98. I think 120 can be invaded by 98s, but not invade them.

>>154414553
Fair enough

I'm ARC so my viscerals are weak as hell, but I can spam R2's. I should try A Call Beyond too.

ACB isn't that good, you can spam eye though if you keep bloodbulleting

That AoE Kalameet lift is not a fun way to die. Anticlimactic and no sound effect on hitting the ground.

also I can't distinguish the animation from her other knife cast

>>154415069
Use Augur of Eribritas. It puts them on thier ass every single time.

Moonlight Sword beams are also fantastic, a Charged R2, R2 combo will obliterate them even if the actual sword doesn't connect. I also get 1000+ damage on L2 pokes which also send them flying.

>>154413243
You also need Insight to ring

>>154414458
>>154415069
Use the beast cutter, and spam the transformed R2. It hits them from really far away, and they're too slow to close the gap.

Ya'll fighting NG+ Rom? BL?

I have a theory of the BSB in old Yharnam and the beasts around it.

There's two bsbs in Old Yharnam, one hanging in the first chapel you come through, and a living one at the second chapel, both are surrounded by beast patients,

My theory is, those bsb were the head cleric of their respective chapels, and when the church abandoned old yharnam, they were trapped down there with all the pissed locals an beasts

eventually all of them had turned to beasts, and the people beasts tried to kill/punish the cleric beasts for what they had done.

Probably flaying off the skin from their backs to either imitate cleric robes or simply for punishment.

Then I suppose the surviving one managed to break free and is under siege in his chapel by lesser beasts ever since.

without any access to blood it eventually became the blood starved beast.

We're waiting up at the fog gate, by the way. So if you ring at the lantern, just run up here.

Cheers.

>>154422958
Any time, anon.

>>154422221
good lore

But what do you have to say about BEAST POSSESSED SOULS

Anybody need help with anything? I'm up for anything atm since I'm waiting on somebody.

Anybody want to be a bro and give me a hand with Rom in lower Pthumeru?

>>154418125
Stack up on attack runes instead.
You are gonna be dashing and dodging a lot so Stamina runes are essential.

If you visceral a lot Blood Rapture can save you a lot of Vials.

>>154423260

Thanks for the help based Iris

Any pointers for the pizza cutter btw? I want to like it but it's a little awkward.

Excellent work Friend. I'm glad to have helped you smack fuckface Rom

>>154424070
Basically get as many good damaging gems for it aa possible, get it for thrust damage if possible and make sure to Not sleep on the really good R1 moveset, relying only on l2 will get you killed. It's a weapon based in spacing and trapping enemies in tight areas.

>>154424018
Nah m8 we got it but thanks.
>>154424230
>relying only on l2 will get you killed
Yeah that's not a very good attack unless I'm using it wrong. Thrust damage you say?? Never would have guessed that...

>>154424403
It's hitstun: the move. Just make sure to play smart with it. Great for bosses

>>154424403
Thrust is wrong as fuck for the whriligig, the l2 is also pretty bad in pvp though it can catch people dashing in as it has a lingering hitbox

Oh shit I forgot about uncanny weapons but I just found them being sold in lower Pthumeru. What's the deal with these, just different gem sockets?

Do Thrust attack gems increase riposte damage

>>154425769
Yeah, just different gem slots

>>154425838
yes

>>154425945
Hm okay. Most of my best gems always seem to be radial so the common version may be best. At least for me right now.

>>154425207
The buzzsaw does Thrust damage, the club does blunt.

>>154426049
Some Uncanny and Lost version of weapons are better than regular ones, like the Kos Parasite weapon, the Uncanny version is the best.

>>154426187
The buzzsaw should be serrated. That's retarded. But whatever no biggie I guess.
>>154426327
What does the Kos parasite even do? I don't have the arcane needed to equip it.

>>154426460
With the Milkweed Rune, it gets a completely new moveset involving tentacles, basically.

Well worth doing an ARC build for.

>>154426460
The saw is serrated. Serrated isn't its own damage type.

>>154426735
I could have sworn I'd seen serrated damage somewhere...

>>154426994
Serrated is a modifier, not a damage type. It technically isn't even a thing, it's bonus beast damage, just that every weapon that has it minus the Church Pick is serrated, so it's easier to say it that way.

>>154426460
>What does the Kos parasite even do?
It makes everyone laugh
