>>154965575
Stats are 20/50, gems are three 21.5% nourishings.

What's the drop rate of twin shards from the Baglords in the Bagrealm? Doesn't seem terribly high and I want a +6 weapon.

>>154965817
That's on a normal wheel? Or Lost?

>>154966197
Farming them right now.

I have high ARC, so they're dropping at roughly 30-40% for me.

Either way, they're not very uncommon. I think Old Yharnam also has a bunch of twin shards lying around.

>>154966343
>>154966197
My bad, not Old Yharnam.

Meant Catheral Ward.

>>154966284
Er. I messed up a little. It's a normal Wheel, two Amygdala nourishings, one of the radials is an offshape.

Abyone in need of a co-operator?

>>154966815
The offshape would make like a 2% difference in ATK right?
Otherwise next best is Lost with two 21% and one 19.5%? Cause that's what I'm going for..
as soon as I find a Lost wheel.

>>154967329
My only problem with running a Lost Wheel is that waning nourishings can't have +physical as a secondary, and I'd really rather not have my Wheel go FWOOOSH or KZZRZZTZT every time I hit something. I could rock three Amygdala gems if I wanted though; I have a +10 Lost Wheel in storage.

I've beaten the game and have no idea what blood bullets are all about. Am I retarded? I used nothing but regular quicksilver bullets.

>>154967614
>+physical
>FWOOOSH
fair points. I'm sticking to my normal then, if only to save the trouble of getting to and upgrading a Lost.

What about the Gargoyles` gems? I'm not sure what shape they are but their secondary of Open foes would give you a better AR than flat secondary, considering with the wheel most hits that land are against people who just dashed/attacked.

>>154967691
You can press Up on the D-Pad to sacrifice 30% of your health to make 5 Blood Bullets, which serve as Temporary Quicksilver bullets.
(They disapear when you go to Hunter's Dream)

They're good If you've run out of bullets but still have a descent amount of Vials.
If you want to spamm your gun or Hunter Tools for a bit longer than normal.
Save money you would have spent on QS Bullets.
Or to just save up on QS Bullets in general.

Fucking brainsucker as a boss? Fuck this sick game! What are some weapons with thrusting?

>>154968442
Try Bolt Paper too.

Or, a Tonitrus.

>>154967112
Wanna run through the Forbidden Snakeland?

>>154968442
What are your STR and SKL stats?

>>154968527
Yeah forgot they were weak to bolt, thanks. I just let myself die the first time so I could minimize insight loss until I came up with a better way, but that was easy. This game needs trigger warnings before those things...

>>154968764
Sure
Pass?

>>154968874
Yeah, those fuckers can absolutely brutalize your insight.
>mfw even after doing several playthroughs, I still managed to get grabbed 3 times in a row by a Brainsucker in the Upper Cathedral Ward

>>154968874
>>154969000
Brainsuckers are bullshit enemies with four attacks, one of which is spammed 90% of the time.

You can counter their bullshit with bullshitting of your own by exiting the game as soon as you get grabbed..

Same is true for Winter Lanterns

>>154968952
Pass is Vit, with a capital V, ringadingin' at the Forbidden Woods lamp

>>154969561

Then i recommend we get to Cainhurst for the Corruption Rune so i gan give you some.

>>154969561
Yo, I'm down for this. Gimme a second to get there and I'll ring.

>>154969561
I just had to run out of Stamina the moment the Pig Started charging.
I'll ring at the fog instead.

>>154970710
And If you want some action, i suggest you go to the Fog as well

We have room for another friend!

Ring at the Shadows fog with the pass Vit, capital V

>>154971369
cool, heading there now

>>154971369
Booting up.

Savescumming Amy soon in Loran for Waning Nourishing Abyssals. Going to open Isz Amy as well for Triangles.

Anyone want in?

>>154971539
okay why the fuck isn't this working for me, I have the password, it's set to worldwide and I'm standing right there. so what gives?

>>154971846
Absolutely. Post the pass and glyph and I'll be there right quick.

>>154971846

Hey I'd love to go through Cainhurst! Gotta grab that invite first, you still up for it in say five to seven minutes?

>>154972235
Sure
Set a pass in the meantime, and tell me when you're ringing.

>>154972235
I'll give Cainhurst a shot with you if you'd like. Just, for the love of the God, don't engage with the bloodlickers--make a beeline for the front gate.

Hm. Nourishing Damp, 20.7% with HP Recover and ATK down on beasts.

This is pretty good, an Abyssal would only be .8% difference. Do you guys want to keep going? Idk what better 2nd stats there are for Waning but I don't mind letting go of this one.

>>154972997
I'll keep going

>>154972357
>>154972681
Fantastic! I'll be there in just a few minutes, pass will be Vit, and that's with a capital V

>>154973216
Ok. Ringing.

>>154972997
I don't know what all the secondaries are for wanings, but I know you can get +fire or +bolt for Boomhammer or Tonny, respectively. Let's keep going.

Bloodborne newfag from the end of the last thread here. Played it for about an hour and a half.

Is this game just going to be me constantly facing groups of enemies who all attack me at different times so I have no way of sneaking an attack in? Also, do I just save by returning to the Hunter's Dream? Pretty fun so far, just really frustrating.

>>154973405
Just lure the enemies out. Don't try to fight them all at the same time.

Also, Molotov Cocktails help.

>>154973405
Most of the time, yes, but there are tons of weapons with wide swings, so groups are never a problem.

The game saves every minute or so. The autosave icon will appear in the upper right when the game saves. If you want a failsafe, then you can just go back to the Hunter's Dream.

>>154973405
Don't engage large groups of enemies if yuou can help it. Use pebbles or edge closer to peel off one or two at a time. If all else fails you can try running past them. Game's kinda newbie-unfriendly until you get the chance to start leveling up.

Also you can just turn on auto-save (and should).

>>154973216
Stop invading me Gregor, it's unseemly.

>>154973401
Ringing.

>>154973405
No, I think the mob in Yharnam is actually the biggest you'll see in the game. You might want to kite them onto the narrow streets or stairs, fight them 2 at a time. You should have a range advantage with any of the starting weapons, and can hit them relatively safely after the one or two in front attack.

Saving is automatic and done when you change any equipment, or die.

>>154973405
Be aggressive, my dude, you're strong, too. Bait enemies away, use those pebbles.

The game is saving by itself all the time, when you want to quit, go into the menu and choose 'Exit Game' to save and exist properly.

OKAY

thanks guys. I'm a Lone Survivor and I made a red-headed qt

Can I buy female clothes later on?

>>154974030
Yeah this is basically why I never take off the League rune when playing co-op.

>>154973947
using the resonant bell but not getting anything yuet. lemme try silencing it and starting over.

>>154974270
lone survivor is honestly a pretty good origin to start on. more forgiving of error, albeit very very slightly

what did you pick as your starting weapon? optimization doesn't actually matter until you can level up but the fighting style is different for each

So let's just pretend that attempt never happened.

Co-op makes me so much worse at the game

>>154974576

the axe. I think I may have made a mistake.

>>154972681
Are you me?

>>154974640
No, the Axe is pretty good, especially for beginners. It has high rally potential and its tricked mode is great for crowd control.

May want to pick up a Saw Spear from Central Yharnam for serrated, though.

Lone survivor axe wielding master race here. I think you made a balls-out fantastic choice for a first character. In fact, I'm excited for you. I'll never play Bloodborne for the first time ever again, but you are about to.

>>154974737
i am all things to all people. so did i miss the cainhurst bell, cause i;m getting bupkis

>>154974640
axe is actually not a bad choice either, but you have to play to its strengths; the charged R2 in the two-handed mode is good at crowd control but its no good to you unless you get the positioning right

also? most of the people in this thread are insane fanatics, and have forgotten the game is actually legit really difficult when you play for the first time so don't get too hung up about struggling early on, because everyone did

>>154973947
Alright
Just put on 'Corruption' and tell me where to meet for our little Blood Ritual.

James! Voldemort! Thank you very much! That Logarius fight went very, very smoothly.

>>154975438

>>154975756

So you can get some echoes too.

>>154976000
It might have been 400k, I don't know, it was just a fucking LOT for me to level up, and I needed ~530k. Not only that, but I also need echoes to refill my bullets and vials after every co-op because I'm a Hunter Tools character. Took forever to get all those echoes because Bloodborne is fucking DYING.

>>154975427

wait, my axe will perform differently depending on whether i have one or two hands holding it?

damn

>>154978540
Weapons have two mode, tricked and untricked, hence, trick weapons. The axe's untricked mode is how you take it out, one handed, when you hit L1, you trick it, and it become a big tow handed axe. Not all weapons are two handed when you trick them.

Oh my God, I'm tanking hits from Bagmen, 99 vit is fucking disgusting

>>154979254

Anyone wanna help a bl 35 with Amygdala in frontier?
Ringing in front of boss door with BBG as pass.
Just be warned, I'll probably be doing near enough 0 damage so this will be a straight up carry

>>154978540
Two handed axe has more reach and some powerful moves. It's my default mode for most of the game. However you want to be comfortable one-handed too because you need the other hand if you're to use your gun. If you're struggling don't worry about this just yet but it's info you need. The gun is how you parry and while it's not, strictly speaking, something you absolutely have to know how to do, you definitely want to. But first things first, get comfortable whacking human enemies and avoiding their whacks with the tricked axe.

>>154978540
Um. Yyyyyes...? All the weapons in the game have two modes, you switch between them with the L1 button.

Right. So, FROM Software makes notoriously obtuse games--you can find out the basic controls by reading the messages on the ground, though if you're playing online it might be hard to distinguish them from the ones left by other players. But either way, they will never tell you how to tie it all together. Knowing the controls isn't the same as knowing how to play, yes?

You may wish to watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxi_w6jwRg
for a quick rundown. He has a purdy voice, and the game's less intimidating once you have a better idea how things fit together.

>>154979673
If there's a big enough BL gap, your cooperators stats get nerfed too. Though I guess gems and a +10 weapon can make up the damage. You know the trick to avoiding his leap attack right?

'cause all the gems and +10s in the world can't save you if you get squished.

>>154980361

alright, lemme deal with the invader first

>>154980231
not available at the moment, but give me like an hour and I can hop on. in the meantime, try learning his patterns even if winning is impossible

in particular the jump and the laser beams--he will almost always miss you with the jump if you stand perfectly still, but you'll want to get clear after. the lasers you just need to get good at dodging. unless your partners kill him in like 30 seconds you still stand the risk of dying

Arcane Rifle Spear doesnt exist anymore.

What you're propably interested in is the Cannon.
Which packs a serius punch, but it uses so many QS Bullets that it's pretty much a one or two-time-use per-session only.

Bloodborne newfag here yet again. Is this one of those games where checkpoints are 2-3 hours apart? If so, I'm going to drop this shit. Started back at the Central Yharnam checkpoint and pounded out a good hour and half or so before I ended up dying in some underground sewer area. and now I have to start back at fucking Central Yharnam on top of that fucking building. What a bunch of fucking bullshit.

>>154981543
Interesting. I guess I never noticed that before.

>>154984025
>2-3 hours apart
Not at all, anon. Only 40 mins at most, I'd say. Basically, you're looking to unlock shortcuts that lead back to the lamp.

The sewer area has a shortcut-elevator right at the very end if you take the ladder before the pig in the tunnel.

>>154984025
You know where you're going this time, so it won't take as long to get there.

Don't be a faggot anon, just keep trying and you'll get the hang of things. It'll get easier with experience.

>>154984217
>>154984256

It'd be easier if they made the checkpoint areas simpler to fucking distinguish. I can't tell the difference between checkpoints, enemy drops and stupid background shit. incredibly frustrating, but isn't that the point of these games??? :D

>>154973778
>No, I think the mob in Yharnam is actually the biggest you'll see in the game.
yeah outside of Chalice Dungeons pretty much the only other places you normally run into more the 3-5 enemies at a time are the following;

Old Yharnam(pretty easy to fight enemies, especially if you use a weapon with reach and a Torch/Hunter's Torch together)

Cainhurst(very easy enemies for the most part once you get past an initial brick wall)

Yhar'gul(this one kinda sucks for reasons I ain't spoiling)

>>154974640
Axe is probably the best of the three starter weapons, at least for much of the early portion of the game

>>154980361
you should have named your character King Vitamin, would be better

>>154984025
it depends on the area, some have more lamps then others, but most areas will have some shortcuts as well that make things easier, that Sewer path for example will eventually lead to you opening one shortcut, which in turn is near another one

>>154984386
most shortcuts are signified by one or more of the following; Doors/Gates, buttons, and switches(with the latter two often near either doors/gates, or elevators)

>>154983782
Ringing.

>>154984025
you generally only find lanterns when you kill a boss or enter a new area, but there are shortcuts you can open up as you go to make getting back less tedious

>>154984158
eribetras seems to be an exception, but my lore-fag theory is that she *isn't* a true great one, she's the fully matured form of what you get from lining your brains with eyes; master willem + 1000s of years basically

I was ringing for a while but it didn't pick up. I tried restarting the process. Uhhhh it's been a while since I played, I go to coop quicksearch right?

>>154984907
That should work, given that you've opened the dungeon(s) I'm in and have my pass typed in.

>>154984881
Yep, if you pick up an item called Madman's Knowledge, which can be found in Central Yharnam near a bunch of crows past a sewer ladder, you can consume it to gain insight which will awaken the doll and let you level up.

You also use insight to summon help.

Oh, and you can gain insight by seeing new locations or seeing/defeating bosses.

Walk to the end of the great bridge sometime.

>>154984881
you need 1 insight before the doll in the dream wakes up; you get it by finding bosses for the first time, and earn more by killing them. once the doll is awake, talk to her to enter the level-up screen (channel blood echoes)

you can also gain insight by using the consumable 'madman's knowledge' item; there's one in the sewers but maybe wait til tomorrow to go looking for it?

>>154984513
>you should have named your character King Vitamin, would be better

>remember they hauled her out of the labyrinth where she'd been left behind after the true great ones fucked up pthumeru and left for home

Here's my theory - Ebrietas is a type, not a name, like Amygdala. The two Ebrietas' we fight are fully matured versions of the slug babies crawling around Upper Cathedral Ward and Isz.

On your first play through? I don't think so

>>155001101
Yes you can.

Uncanny Burial Blade is in Lower Loran root dungeons, theres lots of glyphs with it in easy to reach locations. Technically you can have a Burial Blade as early as Shadows of Yharnam, but you need to beat Loran Darkbeast first.

However, since I want to use the Burial Blade during the dlc, is it possible to initiate the fight with Gehrman, and then bold hunter's mark out when the moon presence fight starts, buy the burial blade and then do the dlc? I already consumed all three umbilical cords, so getting to moony isn't an issue.

Pic slightly related.

I've been killing the Bone Ash Hunters in 56428adr off and on for two days and they've dropped basically everything except Arcane.

I think the next step is Ebrietas. Will she be like Pthumerian Elder in that she won't always drop Abyssals? With PE I could handle that, Ebrietas not so much.

Checkpoints are the lamps, my dude.
Learn to parry, or dodge backwards / to the side of enemies' attacks. Learn that charging R2 and landing a hit on enemies' backs leaves them stunned for a backstab visceral.

The doll won't come to life until you have 1 Insight.
The easiest way to get one is to grab the Madman's Knowledge up the ladder in the Aqueduct and use it.

>>155020873

>up the aquaduct

Ok. there is the ladder that goes DOWN the aquaduct, and there is one that goes up it too? Is it worth it getting the Madman's Knowledge?

File: 1457221200977.png (151KB, 449x442px) Image search: [Google]

151KB, 449x442px

Anyone wanna help with Logarius? Used up about 20 bullets worth of viscerals on him and still didn't kill him.

>>155021170
It's more than worth it because you need at least 1 insight to awaken the doll and level up.

You know that one part of the sewers that drops into a lower area filled with crawling monsters? Right beside them is a ladder that leads to a wooden ledge, which also has another ladder directly next to it.

Take both ladders all the way and immediately go straight, make a right, and you'll see a bunch of crows. Kill the crows and the item there is your Madman's Knowledge. You can also continue moving through this area to talk to a little girl and unlock another shortcut.

>>155021170
>Is it worth it getting the Madman's Knowledge?
Well do you want to be able to level up without fighting a boss?

>there is the ladder that goes DOWN the aquaduct, and there is one that goes up it too?
To my memory there are at least four ladders in the Aqueduct. I assume you entered via the way past the old lady's house; the one with a dog barking at her door? Take that ladder down into the Aqueduct, if you gpo back inside the building through the canal, there's actually another Madman's Knowledge in there at the far end with a few rats nosing around the body it's on.

To get out of the Aqyeduct and find an NPC with an important item, follow the Aqueduct until you get to a section with a bunch of crawling dead. Look for a long ladder up to a statue-wielding hunchback. The second Madmen's Knowledge is up there near him, with some crows around.
The NPC is up the ladder past the hunchback.

>>155021498
Sure, will you be the fog?

>>155021586
>>155021638

OK guys. I'm at the bottom of the aquaduct and I've killed a bunch of rats. I'm at a dead-end. am I kinda close to where I need to be?

>>155021756
Yeah, be there soon. Pass is 'cunt'

>>155019676
Password? I'm a bit rusted but I should be able to help you.

>>155021798
If you're at the dead-end rat area with a bunch of wooden boat-things, turn around and go all the way down the aqueduct till you reach a wooden ledge that drops down.

Find that group of crawling monsters.

Look for the ladder that leads up directly from the wooden ledge.

>>155021938

nevermind, that tall hairy cunt with the long stick killed me again, so I have to start all the way from Central Yharnam again. doing the same shit a hundred times is so much fun

>>155022051
You'll get the hang of combat, anon. Also, my bad about telling you to turn around from the rats.

If I recall correctly, there is actually another Madman's Knowledge in that exact wooden-boat area, right at the very end.

If the beasts are giving you too much trouble, just run past them.

alright senpai. got the Madman's Knowledge and I used it. What do I do know? I'm still at that area from the top of that long ladder

>>155022918
Go back to the Dream.

>>155022918
You can pick up the second Madman's Knowledge right there by the crows if you're all the way up from that ladder.

Do you see a big troll facing a door? Go ahead and get him with a visceral attack by slowing walking up and hitting his back with a charged R2 attack, and then follow it up by getting close and pressing R1.

Afterwards, head up the ladder directly next to him and talk to the NPC at the window. You can also unlock a shortcut.

Anyways, now that you've consumed the item, you have insight, and you should head back to the Hunter's Dream ASAP to spend your blood echoes on levels. Just speak to the doll.

Also, don't spend too many points on endurance.

>>155023136
>>155023102

so backtrack to the original Hunters Dream in Central Yharnam then?

>>155023253
You don't need to backtrack necessarily, but yes, the Lamp there is your only way to and back for now.

>>155023253
Yep, but you can also use a Bold Hunter's Mark to go back, if you have that item.

If you don't just run past all the enemies, using that shortcut you just unlocked and touch the lamp.

>>155023351
>>155023376

you guys are awesome. Went back there and put shit into Vitality and Strength. Now... what do I do with these Blood Stone Shards?

>>155023762
Did you talk to Gehrman in the house? Near where he was are a couple workstations, one of which will let you use the Stones to upgrade your weapons.

>>155023762
You can use those to upgrade your weapons, basically.

Go into the house in the Hunter's Dream and go near that workshop table. Upgrading will also unlock gemslots for your weapon, but worry about the gems later. For now, upgrade your favourite weapons. Upgrading your firearms isn't really a necessity if you plan to use them for just parrying instead of damage.

>>155023939
>>155023973

cool! upgraded my axe. Heading back to Central Yharnam now. Are there any other weapons I can pick up in Yharnam?

>>155024170
>Are there any other weapons I can pick up in Yharnam?
The Saw Spear, which is widely regarded as one of the better weapons in the game.

>>155024170
Head all the way down that big bridge where you saw those two werewolves and you can unlock a really cool weapon. Be prepared for a fight, though.

Or, you can take that elevator shortcut near the two trolls, dodge the giant flaming ball, and take the ladder down to the other side of the canal, near a giant pig. You can get a visceral attack on the pig to make things easier. It guards a badge that will let you unlock the other starting weapons.

>>155022734
Just the first tick of damage.

>>155018353
who the fuck uses blunderbuss to parry? my sweet lady evelyn is all i need ;-)

uhhhhh

just summoned this old Father Casgione guy

Is he a CPU dude or did I do some online shit?

>>155025465
He's an NPC. Now that you have him with you, though, you might as well make your way to the end of the great bridge near the shortcut house.

Also, note that summoning people consumes insight.

>>155025465
Did you do it at that red glowing point? He's an NPC Old Hunter summon, don't worry, it's not a person

It's fuckin cool ass shit you get to summon Gascoigne.

Why is Maria-chan so fun?

>>155024320

>that fucking Cleric Beast

uhhhh... any particular strategy against this guy?

>>155025907
Lock on, move around him and just hit him.

>>155025465
He's a CPU
He's good at helping you with the 2 Werewolves on the Bridge.
And a specific other enemy, on the Bridge.

Just remember you spend, Insight to summon people.
Which you get from Madman's Knowledge, Discovering New Areas, Encountering Bosses and Defeating Bosses.
Use it with care in the early game.

You can eventually farm Insight, if you get a holy Chalice from an early-game boss.

>>155025907
Hit his ass over and over.
Also if you damage his head enough (either by shooting it alot of times or hitting it with your axe) you can get a Visceral opening.

>>155025907
You'll practically be safe if you stay behind him and hack away at his legs.

Also, back away and throw Oil Urn --> Molotov Cocktail at him.

>>155026056
>>155026224
>>155026272

is there any way to get to him without fucking with those werewolves? two on one just is not fucking fair

>>155026735
run past them

>>155026735
You can go around them. Consider taking a different route.

>>155026735
You don't even have to aggro the wolves to get to Cleric Beast.

Just use the house shortcut and run straight past the brick troll. The wolves only aggro you if you get close to them.

You can also lure the wolves onto the steps by the house. They can't get through the door there, so they'll just stand and try to attack you. Gives you time to charge up a tricked R2 with your Hunter's Axe.

>>155026735
If you've unocked the shortcut beyond the dark house, the wolves won't be in your way.
Thou you cant summon Gascoigne if you do this.
As you pretty much have to cross the bridge to get him over there.

>>155026925
>>155026982

>house shortcut

Is that the one I unlocked on top of that long ladder after the aquaduct?

>>155027039
Nope.

You know the bridge with the wolves? Run right past them and eventually make a left where a guy is standing. There will be steps leading into a building.

Watch out for the two people there who are hiding in the shadows and will attack if you get close.

Go down stairs, kill the other guy, kill the wheelchair guy and unlock the door to your right. That door is a shortcut that leads to that one locked gate next to the lamp.

The Badge you get for beating him lets you buy new stuff.

>>155027515
Aw yeah, anon. Well done.

Now that you have the Sword Hunter Badge, you can buy a rad new weapon from the messengers in the Hunter's Dream.

Weapon badges unlock things, by the way. You'll get more of them later.

Also, you got the Saw Spear? And did you explore the area near the old lady well? If you smash a few barrels in the building where that first beast guy is coming up the stairs, you can find this cool, hidden area, and an NPC.

>>155027721

You know the old lady NPC? And the building right past her?

As soon as you go in, hug the right wall and roll through those barrels/debris. There's a hidden entrance right there that leads to the rafters. Cut down the two bodies hanging from the ceiling, and they'll drop down below near the wooden-boat rat area. You'll have to go down there and get the items.

Next, continue exploring the rafters and roll through some more barrels on the right side to go meet an NPC in a hidden alcove.

>>155028025

>old lady NPC

nope, don't think I have met her yet. Fuck

>>155028137
Do you remember a dog barking at a door near the entrance to that building with beastmen right before the aqueduct?

Go up to the door; it has a red lantern sitting right by it.

You can come back to this area later once you unlock the next area. She has a questline. And make sure you talk to that Gilbert guy near the first lamp in Yharnam, cause he has a questline too.

>>155028306

ugh nope. now I'm in some area with a bunch of caged dogs. I have no idea where the fuck I am

>>155028493
That's the right area.

Just play the game dude. At this point you might as well open a youtube guide.

>>155028493
>Caged dogs
You're going the right way, actually.

It's the door to the left across the bridge right past those caged dogs.

And the Saw Spear can be cut down from the building right ahead.

(sorry, wasn't supposed to be a reply)
I've been mulling over doing a strength build for a while.

I see the cannons get a lot of damage from bloodtinge. Are they usable at sub-50 'tinge?

Ideally I'd like to use the cannons and chaingun, but obviously I'm not going to be able to fit 50/50/50 on a BL98.

Any recommendations?

>>155029672
Guns are useless for damage output unless you're going for Bloodtinge. The only way to use the cannon or chaingun to any effect is Bone Marrow Ash, upgrades and gems, but you're still going to be nowhere near as good as someone with 50 bloodtinge.

>>155030196
Church cannon gets 600AR at 34 'tinge if I want to be a dipshit and go 117. 600AR isn't good enough?

Is there a way I could gimp on strength and still get a usable build?

>>155030472
Do a 99 Blt cannon build. We need more meme builds.

I've finished the game and dlc and i still don't know what "Rally" is in the game

thanks again for the help guys.

Got the Saw Blade weapon, fortified it. Also got another Madman's Knowledge, which I still don't know what to do with.

>>155030739
Rally is your HP regain when attacking after taking damage.

>>155030750
Just use it again if you have no Insight.

Anyways, that's enough handholding. You should know how the game works now, what with exploration, shortcuts, and whatnot.

Make sure you've explored everything in Central Yharnam. You still have something to beat.

Ah, so i have 0 insight...

Thanks.
Is that properly explained in the game?

>>155029672
The whole point of the Cannon is to deal high burst damage at range without much investment in bloodtinge or arcane. Upgrade it to +10, slap some Bone Ash on there and blast away.

Gatling Gun is similar. While best used on a str/blt build, it works just fine without any bloodtinge. Just slap a high-tier circle gem in it and you have a cheese machine like nothing else.

So honestly, it all depends on what you're after. I'd suggest 28/11/50, which lets you use the Bloodletter, Gatling Gun, Church Cannon and Evelyn, and that'll leave you with enough levels to get to 41 in vit.

>>155031002
0 Insight?

Certain things change within the world depending on how much insight you have. Some enemies gain new moves, you'll be seeing new things, etc. Your Beasthood and your resistance to Frenzy are inversely proportional to Insight.

You also need Insight to summon people, so best not to run out if you want help. Though, you can gain insight by helping other people.

Pretty sure it's not.
I don't think Beashood is either.

I'm gonna do it anons, I'm sorry. I won't take it to FCs.

>>155031086
I really want to use Kirk and Lollipop Chainsaw.

About how much END would one recommend for the Kos Parasite? I'm making a build and I stopped at 12, but I'm not sure if I should edit it to raise it a few points and still be within the level threshold.

>>155030750
save it.

you only need 1 point of insight to keep leveling up but the game plays kinds of mean trick on you by continuting to drip feed it to you as the journey continues

there are some neat audio-visual effects if you get it to like, 40, but its all cosmetic and 15+ the game flat-out gets more difficult in some areas.

the insight-granting items exist to let you keep leveling or ringing the beckoning bell after you accidentally spend it all (or have it sucked out of you by mind flayers)

No, i meant Rally. Look at the post i replied to

>>155031257
So i'm not completely retarded. I'll take it

>>155031002
I'm pretty sure there's a developer message in the Dream that explains it.

>>155031257
If you want to do that, just make a strength build that happens to have the Cannon and Gatling Gun. Like I said, both of them function just fine without a lot of investment in tinge. And if you still want to put points in bloodtinge, you can get it to around 25 or so while still having a reasonable amount of vit, provided you slash all those points out of endurance.

Is the attack you see on the equipment screen the number that is modified by the attack modifier before damage is done? This is to say, every other part of the attack data formula has already been used to get that number?

Or is the entire formula re-calculated when you attack?

I ask because, it occurs to me: is it possible to have a nominal attack value that's higher on paper, but a real attack value that's lower in practice, because of the hidden saturation and scaling modifiers?

>>155031882
Even if I bring the bloodtinge down to 25 and my endurance to 15, I'm still at 102.

>>155031489
15 end is always good to have, really all you'll ever need and you can get more with runes

>>155032175
I said slash all the points out of endurance, not just some of them. It's a luxury stat, ten end and the 20% stamina rune gives you more than enough to work with.

>>155031882
>all those points out of endurance
>>155032460
>15 end ... all you'll ever need

Souls culture is so weird. Over in /dsg/ I make fun of the 120 fags all the time for needing 40 end, and they all make fun of me for never using more than 19 or 24 on the builds I post.

Meanwhile I can't imagine having less than 15 +20% in BB and yet there's all these anons treating anything over 12 like it's too much.

>>155032460
Neat. How does this build look? I want pure ARC.

I have an extra 2 STR for the Tonitrus. I don't actually plan to use it for PVP, but just the carry me through PVE as a good bolt weapon for chalice dungeons.

I went with 60 ARC because certain Hunter Tools like A Call Beyond get a damage spike past 50, so I wanted to take advantage of that. Here's the doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17tmcuxmi_Ibh-rLSwO_7AFedTUbruJhpHD2o9LxAYOI/edit

I'm not sure how often I'll be using ACB in PVP, though. So, I'm actually not sure if it's worth the jump. Either way, I'm going with 15 END plus a rune, which I think should give me enough END to use the Kos Parasite comfortably. Rosmarinus because I've heard that it's pretty beastly with Bone Marrow Ash.

Also, any recommendations for my second left and right hand weapons? Maybe a Fire Saw Spear? Not sure what else to go for with Pure ARC. Also, not sure what to use for left hand other than Rosmarinus. Flamesprayer?

Either way, sorry for the entire novel-length post. Just wanted some input.

>>155032754
I'm making a new build and 12 END has served me great. Granted, I only just got to the Forbidden Woods, but I haven't leveled up my END since I started.

'Course, that might change once I get a more stamina-heavy weapon. I've been rocking a Fire Saw Spear and a Tonitrus, but I plan to get a Kos Parasite.

>>155032754
End is a luxury stat, 15 really is absolutely fine and if you're really good, baseline end is perfectly usable. I'm running with 11 end right now and it's honestly been fine for fighting and dodging, you just have to be a little more calculated excuse the fact I'm a meme build with 99 vit

>>155033157
I've never actually made a pure arc build because fucking dungeons, but that doesn't seem terribly outlandish. I'd take the Fire Saw Spear and maybe a pistol not even for viscerals, but to stagger enemies to rush in for an attack since the Parasite is a bit slow.

>>155033276
I think the reason I gravitate towards 15-20 end is that I typically use the HMLS.

With Rakuyo, 15 +20% feels like enough, but with HMLS, even 20 +20% leaves me wanting fairly often.

>>155033935
Yeah, that makes sense. I wouldn't be able to use something like HMLS with only 12 END; I'd definitely need a bit more.

Savescumming Isz Amy, join pls.

AHH

>>155033880
Sweet, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I was looking for a firearm not for parrying, but for stunning. Particularly, I was looking at the Hunter Blunderbuss since I meet the requirements without having to level up Skill or Bloodtinge.

Also, cool to know that Hunter Pistol stuns people. I usually just used it against bigger enemies, but great to know that it actually stuns humans. For some reason, I thought only the bigger guns did that.

>>155034463
Nope, any gun stuns any enemy, except for Rosmarinus, Flamesprayer, Chaingun and two cannons. First three stunlock, cannon I think can knock people back but don't take my word for it, but none can parry.

This may be a dumb question but when I'm running chalice dungeons for gems and I get one, is there a way to quick check the stats of the gems when I pick it up? I have so many anymore that they get lost when I'm looking through my inventory.

I've tried pressing near every button to find a quick stats check but nothing works so I'm assuming it doesn't exist or I'm super lost

>>155035045
Pretty sure there isn't one, which sucks. I'd kill for a way to sort them from strongest to weakest, I hate having hundreds of gems.

>>155035709
I know you can sort by rating. Just press right on the touchpad and switch to sort by rating.

I just wish there was a quick view for the gems attributes when you pick it up.

What's with the stone the Garden of Eyes are holding? Has a spider motif on it.

offshape gems fit any slot, right?

>>155025879
I don't know, but she is probably the best boss fight in bloodborne.
Humanoid bosses are really nice to fight in general, and marias moves are really fun to learn.

>>155038873
I don't think you understand
off-shapes are drops as any gem shape other than the default, they drop as that gem they don't morph
