/bbg/ - Bloodborne General

The Dark Souls series is a big piece of shit.
Demon's Souls and Bloodborne are the only good games from made.

People that say that BB has no variety are memeing beyond belief put more than 100 hours in before you actually make an informed opinion about from's games.

>>154505867
Please don't feed the trolls, kids.

>>154506214
>put more than 100 hours in before you actually make an informed opinion
I can't because I made one of each build and archetype and Plat'd the game in 87 hours, and that was after 10 hours of purposefully dillydallying.

>>154506385
>One of each build
So you've tried all the weapons extensively and know they have the largest movesets out of any from game. Of course not you just mashed r1 and sometimes used l1 didn't you. You silly goose.

>>154506214
I kind of agree with there being a lack of build variety, although if you're creative enough there's lots of options, but Bloodborne really shines with the weapon variety by making each weapon unique and fun to use. Every weapon is someone's favorite and I think that really says a lot compared to DaS's 10 or so straight swords with similar movesets.

Is there an FC currently?

>>154506719
Nope, they're scheduled on Saturdays. Impromptus happen though, and get a bit of activity at least.

Anyone mind jumping in my Loran layer 2 for a few?

>one magic system

It's not a magic system, though, and was never meant to be. They're called Hunter Tools, you know, they're tools, they're additional modes of defense, not weapons in their own right. That's not really an argument.

And the only things sharing any kind of moveset are the two untricked saws and sword modes of Kirk and Ludwig's. Everything else gets its own moveset. Each weapon is two weapons in one. Each weapons and each mode is perfectly viable and there's no distinct hierarchy of damage unlike fifteen different straight swords that literally do have the same movesets with the most minor of change ups.

And if you're rushing through the game in a few hours, boy are you fucking up bad.

>>154505845

>BBs environmental elements are great for the first few levels but it's pretty apparent they are the only ones From could come up with (DLC not included). Every area, with the exception of Cainhurst, uses the same nuances to create the atmosphere.
>Sans DLC, Bloodborne really does just 'blend together'

Exact same can be said of Souls. Another ruined castle, some caves, every area with the same medieval grime coat of paint? You're mistaking 'blending together' for consistent world design. Yharnam, Cathedral Ward and Cainhurst all share distinct visual similarities since they're all connected areas (except for Cainhurst because they were BTFO'd by the Church and retain an older medieval style), Yahar'gul and Old Yharnam too retains the same design because they are parts of the same city. The Lecture Hall, Byrgenwerth and Nightmare of Mensis are unique conencted areas, too. The Nightmare Frontier is wholly unique. The Fishing Hamlet is vaguely reminiscent of the outlying habitations of the Forbidden Woods and Hemwick, all these places at once time co-existed just outside of Yharnam. That's not even getting into the absolutely insane minute details of each area.

And if you're just mashing R1 in this game, maybe try something different.

The name implies it's used to communicate. It's found in the Upper Cathedral Ward, where the Choir worked with Ebrietas. This implies that it might be used to communicate with Great Ones or their kin. Still, pretty difficult to think it should be done towards the Brain.

But I think it was found by some guy who ran around the game making contact at practically everything.

I have about 200 hours on BB across several builds.

>>154507171
Consistent world design doesn't mean everything looks and feels the same, it means each location within the world looks as it should given the state of the world itself. A first-time player will go through Yharnam fighting bestial townfolk, dogs, crows, a few trolls, and two werewolves, then to the cathedral ward which introduces church priests and six giants, amongst all the townfolk, dogs, and crows. Then to Old Yharnam, which introduces two new types of beasts..and is full of only those two beasts, up until the handful of werewolves at the end.
Then Hemwick Lane, I guess, with the bestial women are are scary (because they scream) but fight the same way the townfolk do (Also more dogs and crows and trolls).

Forbidden Woods (past the village) gets the Old Yharnam treatment. New enemy is a pile of snakes and a man with a pile of snakes for a head. Only fight those two things throughout the forest, save for a few ayylmaos and a pig.

Brygenwerth is what I think had the most potential for variety in that this place was closest to the Great Ones and the Eldritch truth, but all we get is one building with 5-7 flys and an entirely ignorable magic centipede. None of which we ever see again.

The Gul is more villagers and trolls and crazy ladies, except now they respawn unless you kill a lady ringing a bell. Werewolves are here too, but they look different. The very end of the level has piles of bones sticking out of boxes.

Then you get to the lecture hall which has only piles of goop and one church giant (who admittely has a really cool moveset), then you get to Nightmare of Mensis which has the most enemy variety in the game.

Nightmare frontier has three enemy types, not counting Brain Trusts since they are either skippable or combat with them is oversimplified.

>>154508851
You ringing by the lamp or boss door?

Also, are you set to worldwide?

>>154509445
Actually, I want to reconsider part of my position given that plenty of areas I mentioned do have hunter fights, particularly Brygenwerth and the Gul. The choir hunter in Byrg and the three in Gul are worth mentioning because they're unique and they're fun, and require using mechanics you know in a specific way.

Some other fag and I were talking about getting our asses kicked by BSB earlier...Just happened again in a chalice dungeon.

>>154509445
Are you not seeing a pattern to the enemy layouts, though? Everything in and around Yharnam is beasts and changing villagers alongside animals and vermin changed by the blood, dogs, crows, rats, the pig and the sewer corpses. Why would anything else be there?

The further out you go, the weirder it gets. The woods contains villagers alongside most of the verminous creatures, as it should, except now you have a new addition, the snakes. Same for Hemwick who has its women and Mad Ones.

Then you get to Byrgenwerth whose sole inhabitants are past experiments who make complete sense to their surroundings and totally different to everything you've encountered so far. Plain old villagers don't know about Byrgenwerth, why would they be there? Anyway, the Shadows would deal with anyone getting too close. Gardens of Eyes would only exist there, they're a unique enemy to that place being Byrgenwerth's attempt at artificial insight farms, but we see Brainsuckers and centipedes elsewhere.

Yahar'gul sits right under Yharnam, everything you meet there were villagers and other people melted down in blood and reformed for Mensis' purposes in various ways. Them being there makes perfect sense. It's corpse-themed for a reason.

Lecture Hall is full of, not surprisingly, past students. I wouldn't expect much else to be there and to be honest the Church Giant makes no sense to me. Mensis has a lot of different enemies, yes, all makes as much sense as everywhere else does. And don't forget that fucker hunter on the bridge.

Frontier has Yetis, Silverbeasts, Crawlers, another two hunters and Winter Lanterns. You can't really just discount enemies, you can run past a lot of stuff.

And that's not even counting the DLC's enemies.

Honestly, it's a lot of enemies throughout the game, each one is solid and makes sense where it's placed. I don't see a problem and I honestly think it's down to taste at this point.

>>154509445
>Brain Trusts
They're called Winter Lanterns.

>>154512412
>>154512437

Yup I'm set to worldwide, but another anon already helped me bully Amelia (thanks for the help Serge).

I'm trying to run through NG+ relatively quickly though so if anyone is trying to cooperate I'll be ringing. I'm probably headed to the forbidden woods now.

Niggas I have 50 VIT, 20 END, 50 STR, 25 SKL, 12 BLT, and 20 ARC.

What should I raise now?

>>154511526
I understand that enemies that are products of the scourge should be everywhere the scourge has hit, but the problem, particularly with the villagers, is that there isn't variety within that group. The villagers don't even change quotes based on where they are, and the ones in Gul don't make much sense given that they're identical to the Yharnam townsfolk. Yharnamites were out hunting, townsfolk in the ghoul were obliterated by the Mensis ritual, I don't see why the resurrected corpses of the latter would be identical to the former.

I'll try to be more concise: overall the enemy variety in Bloodborne is lacking in two ways: common enemies don't have enough variety between them given how frequently they show up, and areas with unique enemies have only one or two unique enemies and only those one or two, two factors which mean that overall the player doesn't have to change strategy or implement different mechanics meaningfully. I think this is one of the only ways in which CDs are better than the base game: a single room in a late-game CD can have a variety of different enemies that force the player to change approach or manage character placement. That almost never happens in the main game.

He was making a homophone joke (whether by accident or on purpose IDK). Define "raze".

>>154514080
But raze refers to the destruction of some location. not to the destruction of oneself.

>>154514185
Only until someone tells you to raze yourself.

Also he did say "raise", and pot a picture of a dood hanging himself. Suppose he means hang yourself high.

You deserve either shitter.

>>154513697
>and the ones in Gul don't make much sense given that they're identical to the Yharnam townsfolk

Those guys ARE Yharnam townsfolk. Kidnapped by Bagmen as fodder for the ritual. All melted down and reformed/summoned by the Bell Maidens. They look identical because they ARE villagers.

I will agree that basic fodder enemies deviate from each very rarely. Personally, this doesn't bother me, because this is the case in most games in existence. Fodder is fodder, and unique enemies need to stand out. You can't have wholly unique mobs in every single encounters. Things will be reused for a bunch of reasons like saving memory or money or time or whatever. I think what they have designed is visually interesting enough to warrant how they're used, but this is just my taste.

I honestly always got the feeling Bloodborne was an experiment more than a big project for From and it accounts for the lack of variety or weir details in places. If Bloodborne was on the scale of the Souls games in length, who knows. As it is, I've never really minded.

>>154514080

>why not level up?
If you don't want to stay in the respectable 98 meta, or the shit-tier tryhard shameless 117 meta, there's no reason not to.

>And wtf else should I spend my echoes on if I don't?
Consumables?

>>154515225
Ritual materials too

Just in case anyone's interested for new character runs or whathaveyou, there's a 15% Phys Droplet, in Central Pthu Root, Layer 2, in a sarcophagus, gylph, 95dnpccw.

Do you lads do additional rites when you dungeon dive, or go as is? I didn't my first time because I was scared of being thumped. Or is it really not that bad in what's added?

>>154515592
These spawns stay the same for any character who goes there? We should share glyphs more often desu.

>>154515869
I'm no expert, but I assume each rite increases the rarity of gems dropped, meaning full CRF is the only way to go once you're at that point. Until you can navigate Cursed comfortably though, yeah, basically Rotted and Fetid probably aren't useful for much other than fun novelty.

>>154515974
>These spawns stay the same for any character who goes there?
Yes, the only exception I can think of being items the player is only allowed to have one copy of, such as Caryll Runes.

There are entire google docs dedicated to sharing CDs. Just that most anons are only concerned with CRFs.

Is Orphan's umbilical sword damage physical? I've never fought him with so little Vit and the rape is real

>>154517409
Because it's an awful rushed piece of shit. It shits all over core values of the series and has the same issues of ruining the original games lore that DaS3 has. It's basically fanfiction and people lap it the fuck up when they should shun it for the shit it is.

>>154517627
You disgust me. DaS3 is also awful.

>>154517627
Go and stay go. DaS3 is almost as bad as DaS2.

BB > DeS > DaS > DaS3 >= DaS2

>>154517409
Because of it's world/level design and lore. The game itself has some great mechanics that expand on the original, but compared to the original dark souls it's inferior in every other aspect. Not terrible, but the worst of the series, but even then it's pretty good. Mostly a black sheep is all. Ignore the memes.

The only reason DaS1 is so adored is because of Prepare to Die Babies fondly remember it and forget it's shit second half. PC was truly the worst thing to happen to souls. DESU the whole DaS series reeks of a lack of polish.

>>154517847

>>154518497
I disagree, but not enough to argue.

>>154517931
This.

DaS2 is a noticeably less engaging and fun experience compared to DaS, and that tends to be hyperbolized when people talk about it, or remember it at all, really. If you play it expecting a good game, you'll get a good game out of it. If you play it expecting all the good of Dark Souls and none of the bad, as most people expected (that's an idealization of a sequel, after all), then yeah, you'll always think of DaS2 as a shit game.

The most common complaints are heavier/awkward mechanics as well as locations lacking atmosphere/interconnectivity.

Funnily enough, the only significant interconnectivity in the Soulsborne series is in the first half of Dark Souls, where it's practically necessary given you can't warp.

>>154518591
Go on tell me that Bloodborne has no variety or replay value like the mememaster you are. Or tell me that DaS1 is a masterpiece and HAHA I DIDN'T GET AFFECTED BY THE SECOND HALF WEW LAD. Or tell me about your underappricated masterpiece that is DaS2 with it's D E E P E S T L O R E or the "Best" PvP. Or even tell me that DaS3 isn't a depressing fucking cashgrab. DO IT.

I only think the Demon Ruins and the Lost Izalith are the real shit stains 2bh. Everything else I think is fine.

The Lordvessel I think is given at a perfect time. Just think about it: For most of the game up to that point you have to walk from area to area, relying on shortcuts. And then once you get to Anor Londo, you're so far away from everything. The HUB. To get back there you have to physically walk back through Sens. The Lordvessel couldn't have come at a better time. When I got it, I felt like I can go anywhere in the world.

>>154518951
BoM looks like the better weapon but I haven't used a skill build. That basically makes my opinion shit, but since you asked for input there ya go.

>>154519360
it scales nice with arcane too

>>154518835
Alright.

I like DeS the best. To me it represents the best mixture of concise plot, good PvP, build and weapon variety, and fewest "bad" things. Plus it gets every pass for being the Flagship of the series.

DaS is the second best in my opinion because in terms of general gameplay, level design, world building, PvP mechanics, and item variety, it represents a clear improvement across the board. I'll concede to Lost Izalith and MAYBE BoC as being a dud, but I personally adored the entire game. The "entire second half is shit" is a meme, at best.

BB is next because while it has and makes use of all the amenities of being on the PS4, I can't say it's a better game than DaS or DeS. I was sick of it after 90 hours and had done and seen literally everything it had to offer but obscure and pointless chalice dungeons. Extrapolate from that how I feel about BBs depth, length, and replayability.
Having said that, I can't overstate BB's quality.

DaS2 introduced some good mechanics, and ideas. Shield bashing, omni-directional movement, parrying with anything in two hands, Ascetics, all great ideas. The DLCs were mostly fantastic. Game itself fell flat on essentially every other facet.

What weapon pairs well with the threaded cane? I'm a skill build btw

DeS:4500ish hours
DaS1:1.5k hours
DaS2:250 hours
DaS3:300 Hours
BB: 3600 Hours
There's my opinion on what had the most replay value.

>>154519561
A dragon dildo for you to sit on while slapping people with your wet noodle

>>154518835
BB has the least variety and replay value of the series. It's easily the shortest in average completion time, with smallest and fewest maps. The lack of variety is in the enemies.
DaS1 "second half is shit" is a meme. Except for Izalith and the BoC.

DaS2 is a good game, with poor implementation of several ideas that, in comparison to DaS1, and that's why it's crucified despite its strongpoints.

DaS3 isn't great. Kind of fun. But since we're comparing it to the rest of the series, all of which were made better by DLC and updates, DaS3 still has a chance.

>>154519561
Burial Blade

If you want it early in NG you need to delve deep into Chalice Dungeons.
You don't even need the Normal version to find the Uncanny which is the one you want.

>>154519616
i knew someone couldnt resist to take the opportunity to judge

>>154519453
It really doesn't, the scaling is a function of the base damage
even with B scaling, you have a flat 60 damage to scale with
aka it fucking sucks with arcane

>>154519659
Franz?

>>154519990
You're better off using the Rakuyo on an Arc build than the BoM

>>154520069
>hybrid builds arent a thing
>arcane + skill
let the man have his fun jesus

>>154519910
Kek fucking pwned

>>154520128
I remember when I proposed a Skl/Arc build using Rakuyo and /bbg/ laughed at me.

Oh how the times change.

>>154520114
Hi guys. Welcome to part 54 of me grinding on mobs. Flora is the moon presence.

>>154520156
I made an arcane/skill hybrid build, it doesn't work nearly as well as a skill/20 or lower arcane build or str/skill build because the split scaling on the BB and BoM is a fucking lie meant to keep you from buffing the weapons for some reason

>>154520273
That does sound pretty stupid tbqh but how does it work?

>>154520285
I'm still mad that he deleted his in-depth DaS2 run.

>>154520340
>how does it work?
Good.

>>154520273
He said you'd be better off because you can convert the rakuyo to an elemental weapon but you can't convert the Bom/BB
50skill with 20 arcane for tools has always existed

>>154519927
I've got every skill weapon at +10, I'm just figuring out what to put my best gems into

I'm considering doing a BB and Saif combo and I also love the saw spear and church pick but I wanted to try the cane and see what synergizes best

Does /dsg/ still play soulsborne? I don't remember his youtube/stream info.

>>154520456
>50skill with 20 arcane for tools has always existed
Mine is 45/45.

>>154520531
That's actually retarded.

>>154520517
>soulsborne
Stop this

>>154520575
Ok. Less people using my build is fine with me.

>>154520340
Are you a beastly idiot or something?

Any full Phys weapon can be converted into pure Arc.
You just need to meet the weapon's base stat requirements.

>>154520476
Cane is the Jack of all trades Master of none weapon.
Anything is fine.

Even Bloodtinge weapons.

need a couple people to help fight the Yarharhar Hunter Trio, will be ringing from the Yharghul Chapel Lamp, password is kosm

Can anybody help a fag out and post their pure ARC PVP build?

wanna have a ref point so I know what I'm doing

50 Vit, 50 Arc any good? Maybe bring END to 15. Using Kos Parasite, not sure about second weapon.

Maybe Wheel for hybrid Str/Arc

>>154521650
99 Arc

>>154521650
50vit/50arc is perfectly viable
the extension of that is usually 50vit/70arc for max brew/eye damage
only ACB will really benefit a whole lot at 99 arc compared to 70arc

>>154521575
omw

>>154521773

Does anyone want to help with NG+ Rom?

I'll be ringing by old Willem, pass: nerd

I have questions about the lore, particularly the DLC

>How and why does Maria's corpse come back to life
>How did Kos (or some say Kosm) die?
>If all Great Ones lose their Children, why is Orphan of Kos alive?
>For that matter, why does it still have an umbilical cord attached?
>How does Maria fight using the Rakuyo if she threw it into a well?
>Are the research patients and the winter lanterns related?
>Is the Doll some sort of powerful celestial being? She's the only consciousness not explained, and her blood is pale.

>>154521796
okay I got killed by either a backstab or a bolt of lightning, not sure which, will be ringing again, password again is kosm

>>154521747
All Hunter tools scale well with 99Arc

Stop being such a fag

>>154521870
Omw

>>154521971
Don't be retarded anon, the damage for most tools hit the soft cap at 70 and only ACB has a brief resurgence of scaling from 80-99

>>154521870
Yeah just gimme a sec

>>154521747
>>154521694
Real helpful, bros

I'd imagine I'd have low Vitality with 99 ARC, though if I plan to stay around that 98-110 range.

Do the Winter Lanterns drop Elemental/Arcane gems?

>>154521935
>>How and why does Maria's corpse come back to life
Why is Micolash both dead and alive at the same time?
It's the Hunter's Nightmare
I ain't gotta explain shit

>How did Kos (or some say Kosm) die?
She was already dead

>For that matter, why does it still have an umbilical cord attached?
Great One Midwives don't exist
Probably also why a lot of their kids die so much

>How does Maria fight using the Rakuyo if she threw it into a well?
That wasn't her's it was probably from some other hunter
Plus she has Vileblood Blood Magic
Who gives a shit?

>Are the research patients and the winter lanterns related?
No
What makes you say that in the first place?

>Is the Doll some sort of powerful celestial being? She's the only consciousness not explained, and her blood is pale.
The Doll is a conduit of the Great Ones to help the hunter to the shit he/she needs to do

>>154522281
No, but you can get 20% bolt gems from the fishing hamlet, the lightning strike casting dudes in the latter half

>>154521870
>>154522064
Sorry I got fucking wombo comboed by that spider

Another boss decimated by my ""retarded"" Skl/Arc build.

No worries, we killed her in the end.

>>154522720

>>154522371

Welp, time to get the DLC. Is there a list of which enemies drop which gems? I'll do chalice dungeons in the latter half, sure, but a list would still be nice to help me planning out certain routes.

I want a big strong MALE hunter to FUCK me.

>>154522945
the OP has two spreadsheets full of max elemental gems

>>154522310
>Micolash dead and alive
His body is dead in one plane, he's alive in another (his consciousness is, anyway).
Maria is dead and alive in the same plane, which is what I'm asking about.

>She was already dead
yes but how did she die/who or what killed her

>Midwives
kek. But more specifically, I assume the umbilical cord in Gerhman's old workshop is the one he'd have found in the hamlet, so why does Orphan still have his attached?

>Other hunter
no it's definitely hers. Also she's one of the first hunters which would make her weapon unique at the time.
I give a shit that's why I'm asking

>Winter Lanterns
head shape is the same. Also both sing/hum to themselves. And cause frenzy.

>conduit of the Great Ones
Which Great One though? MP seems antagonistic to all the others, and doll waifu is alive and still loves you if you kill MP.

>>154522945
can you buy me a copy of the dlc too, ive been wanting it since it came out and times just have been hard and they havent gotten better since

>>154522945
No offense to /bbg/, but they're shit for asking about mid-level gems.

But, that doesn't mean much since the jumps in gem quality are relatively small: you can get 17% physical as early as Central Pthumeru, then 23%s elsewhere, then the best are "only" 27%.

As far as elementals go, I can't really help there.

>>154523354
No one gives a shit about mid level gems
you have the early game elemental/phys gems from either the first chalice or guarenteed drops in the base gem
then prechalice gems in mensis/dlc
then frc gems

>>154523201
Might have to wait a bit, anon. I'm not even planning to get it right away. But I probably will do you first.

Anyone co-oping/running Chalice dungeons?
I'm lonely.

>>154523189
>Maria is dead and alive in the same plane, which is what I'm asking about.
It's the Hunter's Nightmare
Her body is long decayed in the real world

>>154523946
>I'm lonely.
I k that f, b.

>>154523053
I feel dumb, but holy shit the spreadsheet is pretty confusing

>>154524143
They're a pain in the ass at first, but you'll acclimate to them.

Basically they're organized descending by shape and damage type. So you look down the list for the shape you want, then across at the type, if both are what you want, you look at the left margin for the glyph.

What does /bsb/ think about the stake driver?

>>154524143
It's pretty straight forward, look at the chalice dungeon guide in the imgur gallery to get a better idea, as the spreadsheet just seperates based on chalice type (isz/loran/pthu) because they have different base gem shapes and different boss pools

>>154524005
Right but she's also dead in the Nightmare. And then not dead. Real world aside, why does her Nightmare corpse come back to life?
Other NPCs within the nightmare, namely Simon, don't come back after dying.

>>154524337
There was a hilarious (sad) shitfest over it last night.

I've never used it extensively since all my builds are 16/12/50.

>>154524337
totally underrated weapon that takes actual skill to use because of its underpowered but versatile moveset
if you aren't maining the stake driver you're a fucking shitter

>>154524337
>/bsb/
que?

I'm considering going to 117 so I can use some weapons I haven't tried out yet. So..

40 VIT
12 END
30 STR from 25
20 SKILL
09 BLT from 05
50 ARC

Should I just forget the BLT (for bowblade) and the STR (For gatling/cannon)?
I understand with the bowblade I can't convert to elemental so it'll be weak as fuck, probably not worth bothering with.

Cannons and Gatlings are almost always fun though, right?

>can't find my bloodstain in the boss room

Well there goes my 3 mil echoes, thanks from

>>154524885
No dude, just quit/reload a few times.

>>154524885
Was it Rom? I bet it was Rom

Just threw my first knife at someone after...probably way too long playing the game to not have thrown a knife at someone

I was genuinely surprised at the damage it dealt. Like it wasn't great but it did a good 100ish damage, more than my pistol would have done at least. Might start using these things in earnest to knock off those last little chips of damage.

They good for anything else?

>>154524976

>>154524994
FRC watchers actually, I'm too used to aggressively baiting viscerals with my skill build that I fucked up and died on my strength build

>>154524994
Rom is a joke especially if you have a Loch Shield

>>154525214
>Found them, thanks anon
Happy to hear. Yeah I don't know what's up with it but it happened to me last night and I found that workaround.

I fucking hate ebreitas

First run of the game , pretty blind I have the Gehrman fight and Ebreitas left, and I still gotta purchase the old hunters before I go onto NG+ or reroll.

But it sucks because I have 99 insight and I just found out that insight makes frenzy build up, I've had so much difficulty because I thought insight was like humanity so I popped every one.

Offline btw, any tips I have the Cannon and the Hunter axe, 30 health 30 end 30 str

>>154525508
Spend all your insight at the bath messengers if that's fucking you up.

Otherwise she's pretty straightforward. Aim at her head to get viscerals at crucial points of the fight, like right before or after she changes form.
If she charges at you, you're often better off taking the hit head on. If you dodge you'll get slapped by a tentacle and take a lot of damage, but she'll be closer to recovery.

>>154525508
>any tips
Yeah get vit to 50.

Ebrietas is weak to Bolt. So if you have any Bolt Paper use that shit.

There are Runes in the game that increase your Frenzy res. You could also check the Frenzy res of your armor.

>>154525508
>I thought insight was like humanity
Kek holy shit did you ever have that backwards

>>154525508
Buy a blood rock with your insight anon, I think you can do that after you beat Mergo's wet nurse

>>154525508
Get Arc to at least 15 to use most of the Hunter Tools
You over leveled your End
And you could probably use more Skl

>>154525762
Fuck like I think it was Nightmare of Mensis, or the Nightmare Frontier where these god damn plants killed me in 3 seconds
>>154525797
Can I find a rock normally ? And sounds good

>>154524269
>>154524342
How come for Secondary it lists the chalices when the chalice might not have something to do with the gem? Also what does the cursed/tertiary even mean in this context?

>>154526031
>Can I find a rock normally ?
There are only a few in the game. One in Nightmare of Mensis, one in the DLC, there are a couple in chalice dungeons... So the answer is yes but it won't hurt too buy one.

Is stacking all my stamina use up gems on one weapon fine, or should I spread them out more? I figured it wouldn't be too big of a deal but they do add up to a 10% increase and I'm not sure if that could give me an extra swing or dodge or whatever

>>154526502
I'd like to think that with all the damage being added, all the stamina you lose is more than balanced by the amount of damage you do. Like with all that damage you save yourself a few more hits otherwise, thus ending fights quicker.

>>154526502
Stamina Runes completely trivialize that.

It's pretty much free damage with little to no added cost.

>>154527625
>>154526897
Sweet, thanks anons

Do you guys give your characters setting-appropriate names in BB? Any roleplaying?

>tfw I spend hours coming up with a name

Is there an artbook for Bloodborne? Did a quick google search and all I found was the guide book.

>>154528042
I just put random strings of letters and numbers because in the end it doesn't really matter since you're going to become a spacesquid

>>154528042
I actually have a roster of names I fall back on for every fantasy and sci-fi RPG, neutral kinds of fantastical names for every situation. Kastaine for warrior types, Sabbak for wizard/psychic types and Tobias for clerics/rogues types Sophia for everything because I feel like it works well.

For some stuff, though, I absolutely 100% will agonize for hours on a name. Recently started up Morrowind again and I needed a lore-appropriate Dunmer name and ended up using Sabbak.

>>154528042
I am on my gentleman build. I plan to hoard all insight, use arcane, have a threaded cane and top hat. His name is Mister Jones. A man who has a knack for running into bad luck, mostly because of his dangerous curiosity into the field of science, and his personal obsession with the beyond. He always believed there was more and now it seems he may find it.

FromSoft games aren't as flexible with roleplay like other games, but I can work.

Played Nioh last weekend and really enjoyed it after not really being a fan of souls games. I bought Bloodborne last monday and haven't been able to put it down since. I'm level 46 in the Forbidden woods now.

Question, After Bloodborne which souls game should I pick up. Played Demon Souls years ago but couldn't really get into it, same with DeS2.

Also streaming right now if anyone wants to watch a new guy play

twitch tv/zebrahiim

Alright bbg, so I maxed out my saif, saw spear and church pick. What should I go for next, rakuyo, burial blade, or blades of mercy?

>>154528541
There absolutely is, one with the collector's edition and another I never found the link for, but saved a ton of images of when they were being posted here.

>>154528541
The guidebook IS the artbook.

>>154528771
Kindly fuck off to /dsg/ attention whore

We don't want another Luci

>>154528771
Dark Souls 3, maybe? I'm mostly saying that because DS1 might feel like a slog in comparison.

>>154528771
1) Glad you're enjoying the game, it's good to see new players picking it up

2) Maybe try DaS1 if you can get it on PC or a secondhand PS3 or 360, just to play it

3) I wouldn't recommend advertising twitch channels or people will just get mad, I know it's Bloodborne, but there just seems to be a general negative reception to it

>>154526136
Gems can have up to three effects: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
They can also be cursed, meaning one of the effects is detrimental.

The chalices do have everything to do with the gem as some gems can only drop in certain chalices.

Ludwig, Maria and Wet Nurse too.

If he wanted some help or want to ask a question we would gladly help/answer them.

All he's doing is looking for more people to give him "views"
Fuck that noise

I've always wanted to make a skill/BLT build, since Bowblade and Evelynn look so fun, but I just finished the game thoroughly,again, and can't see myself grinding through so soon.

>>154531058
That does not count.
I'm thinking more along the lines of:
If I'm Skill/BLT and you do Str/Arc, then I don't use bloodbullets and you don't convert weapons. i.e. we don't circumvent certain weaknesses of our builds.

>>154531508
There's a big difference between using strengths and circumventing weaknesses.

Would this work

>>154532473
40/40 is a poor spread
Quality should be weighted unless you're going 50/50
50 str lets you use heavy abyssals to their fullest potential, and 50 skill means you're getting the most out of your skill weapons and are able to use the BoM/Rakuyo as effectively as possible
Basically choose 50/30 or 30/50 based on which group of weapons you prefer, keeping in mind that 50/30 will allow you to use the other skill weapons more optimally than 30/50 will allow you to use str weapons at the cost of weaker viscerals

unless this is some pve theme bullshit in which case your build literally doesn't matter because you can beat the game with just a fucking blunderbuss

>>154532473
Sure. We can come up with some interesting handicap later.

I'm in character creation right now, when do you want to start?

I'm no expert, but that seems to just reinforce what >>154533191 said. The only tool that ever evens out is Tiny T. All the rest keep gaining pretty significantly right up until they hard cap at 99.

>>154533073
whoa dude I didn't mean to offend you or your buttbuddy, 40/40 is pointless in bb and I explained why and even said that if you weren't planning to pvp the stat spread didn't matter

>>154533683
ACB and TT both take a hit to their scaling past 70 arcane, I did have it backwards though as around 80 augur and gloves seem to start scaling higher than they were before 70

>>154533216
alright.
I can never decide on a hairstyle, myself.

>>154533439
Yea, so 1-50 there's a scaling, 50-80 there's a change in scaling that isn't necessarily a decrease, then 80-99 there's another change in scaling that isn't necessarily a decrease, and a hardcap at 99. So I was right.

If she actually looks good in-game, I'm going to shit a Holiday Inn.

Someone walk my retarded ass through the damage formula again, please.

So, like, at 50(attribute), the saturation is .85? Meaning the attack you see on the equipment screen, is that the total attack after the .85, or is the saturation applied after you attack but before damage is calculated?

And also, ALL flat gem damage is just tacked on after all other modifiers are calculated, but before defense? Despite the equip screen including the numbers in the scaling?

That sounds ridiculously shitty considering bosses have thousands of HP, and the best flat numbers in the game might at 130 damage.

>If you want it early in NG you need to delve deep into Chalice Dungeons.
Not that other anon but HOW deep exactly?

>>154534989
Sounds good.
10 insight means we'll both solo Cleric/Gascoine then.
Where do you want to start after?
Probably rush Djura, then Cainhurst. Bowblade would be much harder to pick up early.

>>154520069
>>154520324
Are you serious? I made a ARC/SKL character with the exact intention of using the BOM and BB.
Also a STR/ARC character which I planned to use the WHEEL and BoomHammer.

>>154523012
I sure wish that outfit looked that rough in game.

>>154524357
This is only my hypothesis
She's dead but comes back to life because she started out dead when the DLC nightmare started, but somehow her consciousness is lingering enough to assert some control over it to try and stop anyone from progressing further into the nightmare. Either that or it was the imprint of the IDEA of her made by the patients trapped in the nightmare.

What builds would get the most out of the HLMS? What would be a good off-hand weapon?

>>154535352
What's wrong with it? I think it's the most balanced starter weapon

So I'm working on my first Arcane build since I've gotten tired of physical builds and want to try out all the hunter tools, gonna be working on a Bloodtinge build after this

https://www.mugenmonkey.com/bloodborne/18825

Now I put the stamina high because I've read that a lot of the better attack that the transformed Holy Moonlight Sword uses are quite high in stamina consumption, but will I be alright lowering my stamina if I'm using Anti-Clockwise runes?

And are there any other adjustments I can make to eke out a bit more Arcane without sacrificing the use of said weapon?

>>154536547
You do not need 25 End. You only need base End and Anti-Clockwise, even for HMLS. Stay at 12 Endurance, go up to 50 Vit and put the other 5 points into Arcane.

>25 end

>when you have to be online to use chalice dungeon glyphs
I honestly thought it was just like a random generator thing that is done internally, like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Wondermail

>>154536793
>>154536849

Thanks for the input gents, I've adjusted the build to 12 END and gotten 50 VIT and 53 ARC

Will that ARC (+3) make any real difference to my damage?

>>154535521
Just killed Gascan.
Going to buy the SMB.

>>154537270
Hunter Tools yes. They scale up to 99 Arc, and since there's nothing else to put the points into, you might as well squeeze as much as you can out of them.

Always wondered this, but what do the number of messengers that appear when searching for chalice dungeons mean?

>>154537457
The popularity of that dungeon.

>>154537382

Ah, so the ARC builds that don't level anything but VIT and ARC do that specifically for the higher tool damage? Am I gonna be missing out on the Arcane build "Experience" if I insist on using Holy Moonlight Sword? I've not yet given it a try and this does seem like the optimal time to do so

>>154537547
Cool thanks

>>154537609
Doesn't the weapon have really good arcane scaling? So why not?

>>154537609
Nah, HMLS is a super fun weapon, and in my opinion it's way more useful than the tools are in PVP. You can always do a pure Arc build later, but I think a Moonlight Sword one is more fun.

>>154537814

Well yeah, that was my reasoning behind waiting until this build to use it, I just want to make sure I'm not losing out on the main experience of using an arcane build in the first place

>>154536287
I've come up with something else in the time since I asked: also just my hypothesis

The Nightmare is Gehrman's, and a second product in the creation of the Hunter's Dream. Where the Dream is what Gascoine finds to be peaceful, and through which Hunters are sustained, the Nightmare is specifically what Gehrman finds horrifying, and where Hunters are condemned. Everything in the Nightmare is (possibly hyperbolized) the sins committed by the Hunters Gehrman lead and the Church with whom he was allied. Whatever brought the Doll to life in the Dream (who is kind and loving, and an image of what Gman cared for) also brought Maria to life in the Astral Clocktower, where she is morose and vengeful, and an imagine of what Gman destroyed.

Primarily conjecture, based on:
The assumption Gehrman was there for the events depicted in the Nightmare
Dialogue from the Doll explaining how she feels unshackled, after Lady Maria is killed (suggesting some kind of tether)
Dialogue from the Doll commenting on how peacefully Gehrman is sleeping, after the Orphan is killed within the Nightmare (so Gman is in some way attuned to it).

>>154537609
>>154537270
That 3 Arc won't make a great deal of difference at all. I'd say put it in Str just for a touch more AR with HMS and so you can make a Firegig.

I have both a 50 Arc HMS/elemental weapons build and a pure Arc Tools build. They're both very different and very fun. Do both.

>>154537287
Okay, cool. I'm waiting around the Ward.
Where do you want to go?

>>154538103
Hemwick, I suppose. I'll grab what I can here, then meet you there.

>>154538256
Sounds good. See you there.

I strongly considered restarting because my character's shoulders look too wide.

>>154538696
No you won't.
Lost a shit ton of echoes, and this place is too shit for me to keep playing.
Night night.

>>154538818
...well alright then.

To get to Cainhurst we'd have to go to Iosfeka's through Forbidden Woods anyway..so Amelia first..

How deep are uncanny/lost weapons? Would it be feasible to do some CD to get weapons earlier than you can get them in the main game?

Can anyone tell me what the optimal gems are for Boom hammer/Amygdalan Arm with 50 STR/25 ARC? Blunt? Nourishing? Heavy Abyssal + 27.2?

>>154541589
A Heavy and two Blunts.

>>154541589
>>154541674
For the Boomhammer, two 27.2% Phys for Amy Arm.

Probably the fact that you can get to Central Pthumeru after BSB.

However, I have a note that says there's a 16% droplet in Pthumeru so maybe it was a shitty find either way.

Morning, /bbg/.
What are you shitters doing?

What gems should I use on a 30 str 50 arc build with MLGS ?

>>154550491
Nourishing.

>>154550491
>>154550720
Post here if you decide to farm them any time soon, I'll join you

Is LHB the best bolt weapon you can create? It has A ARC scaling at max, so only needs 1 cold gem, it isn't serrated, so no point going fire.

>>154550720
That what I though.
Time to farm then.

>>154550941
LHB is the best weapon for anything.

Another fun early-game Central Pthu Chalice: 2fdss44c

Not really any great loot to speak of (four Sage's Wrists on Layer 3 is probably the best it offers), but lots of areas with a good mix of enemy types, lot of verticality, and some hidden walls to boot.

/dsg/ is as helpful as ever

Could anyone help me transfer some DaS3 items? PS4 of course.
