man ludwig is kicking my ass with this new character

I'm using an underpowered saw spear and I have to be basically flawless just to get past his beast form. I can do about 1300 damage to him when I stun him and use up my whole stamina bar doing transition attacks to his sides. The stomping combo is what usually kills me.

I still have fun even losing like this - especially since the walk from the lantern is so short - but I wish I didn't run out of potions. I should probably just grind in the regular game and come back later, but I need some of the weapons from the DLC

I've found that ludwig is really hard, unless you use beast blood and paper.

If you want a more satisfying challenge, do it without, but if you're mad enough to want to crack him wide use the buffs.

>>163064310
Just grind vials/bullets/echoes from the two Executioners before Ludwig, they can be chain backstabbed to death. There's the little bloody guy who always drops 5 Vials too. Runes that give bullets and extra echoes from viscerals are useful.

When and where is the absolute earliest that I could get a blood gem or weapon that uses arcane?
I was thinking about making a pure arc build, but I don't want to flounder through most of the game because I can't deal damage.

So out of pure autism because I have fucked up my ability to focus on one character I deleted every single one of them.

So now i'm making a new guy and refusing to make another.

What build should I do?
I'm thinking of
Kirkhammer/Beast cutter strength build.
Cleaver/Saif Skill build
Bloodletter / ??? blt str build.

>>163064857
after beating the blood starved beast in old yharnam you can get a waning fire gem

>>163064857
Grab the Saw Spear, use BB Pellets and Fire Paper all the way up to BSB. After that, get the Fire Waning gem near the Brainsucker below the workshop and 2 Hotdog fire Radials after running Pthumeru twice. It'll get you through the game easily as long as you pump Vit and Arc along the way. There's a guide in the OP.

50/50 Str/Skl to use almost everything. Or Str/Blt for Bloodletter, Chikage, and Bowblade.

Is there anywhere that has all the exact slider information that NPCs have?
Or are all the NPCs "custom made"?

>>163064582
>There's the little bloody guy who always drops 5 Vials too.

wait you mean the poor dude banging on the gate? I didn't know that. That's extremely helpful, considering I usually die to Ludwig after using about 5 potions and bringing him down to like 52% health

The executioner thing wouldn't really work for me; it takes me like 3 backstab+visceral+jump-attack combos to kill just one of them, and the first one I can kill has the cannon and just gives me quicksilver bullets anyway. For health potions, I just go to the lecture hall and kill all the slime students as they crowd the doorframe, then I blow all the echoes on more vials

>>163064461
I want to beat him fair and square. I feel like I know all his moves and how to counter them for his beast form, but I'm not too sure on the moves for the sword form. I have to completely school his beast form just to even make it to his second form. Lowest I've gotten him is like 10% health

Last three or four FCs have lasted 6 or more hours. Really good fights, glad we have some new lads showing up consistently now.

What is a good weapon to compliment the saw spear? It needs to be big and have physical damage.

Depends on your build. If it's Skill and you have at least 16 Str, Ludwig Blade. Church Pick and Burial Blade work too.

>>163065595
Falseflagging should be a bannable offense. Here's your pity (You).

>>163065479
2nd Executioner drops around 8+ Vials and each kill gives a good amount of echoes. Clawmark Runes to add a bit more damage to viscerals. The 2nd won't notice you if you don't visceral the Cannon one too close. I find them to be preferable over the students.

>but I'm not too sure on the moves for the sword form
All you really need to know about his second phase is to stay close to him; dodge to 11 o' clock and 1 o' clock and try to stay either at his side or at his back.

He has one really gnarly attack that cuts from his 7 to 11 o' clock and passes right by his side that's incredibly hard to see coming. Besides that, he's quite consistent.

>>163066626
Are you staying at 25/25 or gonna aim for 50 in one/both? If you're going 50 Str/both, any Str weapon. If 50 Skill, Church Pick.

You don't have to speak Japanese to recognize a gem.

how far do you guys usually get into the DLC before you kill Rom? I've hit a road block, so I think I'm just going to do the regular story and come back to the DLC after I've leveled a little more. But my primary weapons I want to use for the main game are only available once you reach the lamp before Orphan

I dont want to cheese or summon against the DLC bosses, though. This is a predicament

>>163068140
If you've already beat the game once without summons, what's the issue summoning a second time around?

>>163068140
>how far do you guys usually get into the DLC before you kill Rom?
No farther than Research Hall unless I'm making a concerted effort to get something in the DLC before I play the rest of the game.

>>163068140
I usually kill Orphan before Shadows. It helps doing dungeons and getting decent gems to carry you. Once you kill Maria you have access to 22.3% Physical droplets which are enough for Orphan and the rest of the game.

That can't feel balanced. The rest of the game would be a total cakewalk after beating the DLC

>>163068515
If you get 22.3% gems before shadows, you just trivialized the fuck out of the entire game.

I'm aware, I don't really care about having an easy time after Amelia to be honest. The DLC is the toughest part of the game already, so anything else besides FRC dungeons would be a cakewalk regardless of the gems.

Depends on how well you can manage the DLC, 65+ is a common recommended range. At least 30 Vit and a +9 weapon should be fine.

As mediocre as most of DaS3's content is, Archdragon Peak really stands out being probably the strongest area. It's as well designed and polished as a Bloodborne area and I really like the enemies here. Unlike most of the enemies that resort to that shitty autistic flailing about, the snekmen here are well designed, look cool, and are genuinely a fair challenge to fight. Other than the occasional bullshit that the Chain Snekman can pull with the ghost chain-axe, they are my favorite group of enemies in DS3.

>>163069672
I like the Peak, but I feel like the dual dagger dragon mobs do just a bit too much damage. Otherwise I tend to agree.

I think the area where Miyazaki's influence shows the most, and is therefore one of the better, is the Archives.

DaS is easy. With the exception of maybe two bosses it was far and away the easy Souls game I'd played. Not one took me more than 3 tries, and most only took the first.
Nameless King, Spin Doctors, and LoC, though...

>>163072484
They are actually more annoying if you try to fight them with spells only.

>>163072484
I think a lot of it was that the rest of DaS3 being easy as fuck lulled me into a state of complacency that those bosses just woke me up from. I was using HMLS (we're talking day 1 so before it buffed, of course) and I think I was level 70 when I got to Princes. They pushed my shit in for literally 5 hours before I finally overcame them.

After that, Nameless having two health bars as well just pissed me off, and LoC doing it again almost made me quit the game.

LoC isn't too difficult anymore, and Princes have become pretty easy, but I don't mind to say that I have never solo'd Nameless, and do care to ever try.

>>163072658
>so before it buffed
got buffed*

>and do care to ever try.
Don't* care. Definitely don't care.

I need more coffee.

>>163072658
to be fair, I first beat NK with a fire infused dark sword and rolling so that was basically easy mode.
Right now, i'm using the Lothric Knight Set with Greatshield, both of which have terrible lightning resist, and a claymore. That means fat rolling my man. 2nd phase is basically a hard counter for me because even with a block, I take a lot of damage and I dont have the stamina to take his consecutive blows either.
I've stopped for the night because work in the morning but I'm probably gonna have to resort to lighter gear so i can just roll again.

Is FC still happening? If so, glyph??

So whats the best boom hammer build? I want a strength build and want to use the hammer, but what are the best stats??

>>163064857
Do you mean Arcane scaling on a weapon (EG fire/bolt/arcane) or actual specifically arcane conversion?

The first is easy, right after BSB is chalice dungeons which have easy to obtain fire radials, and church workshop for a guaranteed fire Waning. You can also reach Himtertomb for fire triangles if you need. This convert a weapon's physical damage to fire and switch it's STR/SKL scaling to ARC.

The second option is much harder. There's an Arcane triangle in the woods, and the Ayy's drop them as well. Or the Brainsucker boss on layer 1 of Lower Hintertomb drops a flat arc gem. You could probably farm mob-Brainsuckers in Lower Pthumeru root dungeons for radial flat-arcane gems. Or get a super-rare Arcane % drop in Pthumeru from a Watcher or Knight (don't count on this, it's rarer than an offshape).

>>163074206
50/25 Str/Skl. 1 Heavy Abyssal and 2 27.2% Phys gems, or full 32.6% Blunt gems to get the most out of it. Could also work on a 25/50 Str/Arc build with Nourishings.

>>163066095
Is that a Cold Abyysal? Or a Heavy?

If it's a Cold it's not that impressive, +15 of Fire/Bolt/Arcane isn't too ridiculously rare.

If it's a Heavy though it's a pretty cool perfect offshape, but ultimately useless since nothing you pair with Heavy Abyysals (tempering, or adept) can only be found in Pthumeru, so you arnt really freeing up a spot, like say a 27% Arcane radial would.

>>163068903
> he doesn't have a +10 Burial Blade with 24% gems before Shadows

You havnt played the game properly buddy.

>>163074560
It's red so it's most likely a Heavy. Useful if you don't feel like farming Isz Watchers for a 27.2% Phys Triangle (or 32.6% Adept). Not that amazing either way.

>>163074734
The most impressive gems I've seen are the 32.6% Bloodtinge Triangle dropped by Isz Watchers (notice how I said "the", since I think only one has ever been recorded). Followed by 23.6% Nourishing gems Watchers drop every once in a while (estimated 1/10000).

My personal weirdest drop was a Lower Pthumeru Chalice Knight dropping an Arcane gem.

Yeah I've seen the vid of the 32.6% Blt Triangle. I found this screenshot before the video so it ain't the only one ever found, ironically both builds had low Blt iirc. Farming for 27.2% Triangles on my new character, only managed to get one after getting a +21 Dirty, a 32.6% Kin, 31.5% Beast, a 31.5% Thrust, and a 32.6% Thrust with decent curses. Not all too rare but it's funny that I haven't gotten another 27.2% after getting those yet.

>>163075993
Use them when you need them.

>>163075993
Don't pop em, cap is 99 and you'll rack up a good amount from bosses and areas alone. Once you kill the last required boss you'll be able to buy Rocks for 60 Insight to +10 weapons.

>>163076250
That is the problem. When do I need them? What is insight for? I never noticed a need for them unless i want to buy shit from the insight messanger

>>163076306
Insight is consumed when you want to summon other players in your world for co-op.
It's also useful for buying stuff from the messengers, mainly blood stones and ritual materials.
Insight also reveals certain secrets in Yharnam early in the game, but even without insight you won't miss them.

>>163076405
>No PS plus
So Co-op is pointless plus who co-ops in a souls game.

So mostly buying stuff and secrets I guess. First blind run so I think I will miss those secrets till my second run.

Is there any penalty in stacking insight vs keeping them as madman knowledge?

>>163076526
Yes, insight greatly reduces your Frenzy resistance.
It will make certain areas a lot harder.

>>163076553
So keep them till I have to pop them. Alright. I will keep that in mind. Great game so far but the bosses have been a little easy. Only boss that took me over 5 tries was Matyr and DarkBeast

Is there a large difference in storage space between the base game and the DLC? I'm getting a 500gb PS4 soon and while I'll probably end up replacing the HDD manually later for the time being it might be better to get a BB disk that has more content on it. So I'm thinking it might be better to get a GOTY edition instead of the standard (which I already have).
Please tell me if I'm wrong or crazy. Thanks.

Maybe Moon Presence just had a beef with Oeden or Mergo or Mergo's wet nurse or something? Maybe it considered their presence on Yharnam - or Mergo's mere existence - to be abominable? Who knows the social dynamics exist between the Great Ones?

The MP seemed to only care about slaying beasts that never should have been in Yharnam-land to begin with. I don't see MP as a bad guy. I can only assume that if the player kills MP, then the player - as a Great One - will continue the work that the MP was doing (with the culling of the beast scourge that'd been introduced to Yharnam), but maybe not with the same hunter's dream system

I wonder if it was always a church, did Laurence go in to found a religion, or did he set it up as some charitable organization? He was a Byrgenwerth scholar after, he knew the truth and had seen some of it. Was it that as the decades/centuries wore on, the blood came to be worshiped because of its miraculous properties and the mystery surrounding it and the people who doled it out? Churches like that grow over time, I wonder where the cultish aspects of it all started. Maybe Laurence was a fanatic ever since he saw the Labyrinths.

I suppose there must be an element of that, since he's the First Vicar, but that too could be a posthumous title bestowed by people way after him.

So, after I stopped playing bloodborne a couple of months ago Because I got witcher 3 and wanted to finish it Today was the day I finally decided to come back into the game.

Last I played I was fighting Maria. Today I played about 6 hours, the first 45 minutes I spent getting back into the groove of things and beating Maria.

The next 5 hours were spent trying to kill THE TWO GIANT ASS SHARK MOTHERFUCKERS IN THE WELL. HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

That was probably the most painstaking and sadistic form of torture i've subjected myself to. My reflexes were on fire, I was feeling my hands and eyes starting to burn by the end. One was not so difficult, but both at once was actual hell. But damn if I didnt scream my lungs out when I killed the anchorless fucker.

Next I made it to Kos, but Only tried fighting him once, I hope by 2017 I'll beat him.

>>163095136
Tonight's no regular hunt, something's up, something big. Even folk hiding inside are going bad. Hunts have always ended, but this one won't end well.

Tonight, SOMEONE is beckoning the moon, throwing the beast scourge, which Yharnam has been dealing with for centuries, into overdrive.

Snatchers are undead Pthumerians from the Labyrinths under the city, sent to grab people as fuel or materials. Oh, and that 'eerie stand in' isn't something they left behind, it's someone else. Chances are you haven't met him yet if you're asking the question.

>>163064090
Why do certain hunters become beasts and others don't? We probably killed more beasts than Gascoign and we don't turn to beasthood, is it like a mental fortitude thing? Does it have something to do with the dream?

>>163095856

"A hunter who goes drunk with blood is said to be taken by the Nightmare, destined to wander forever, engaged in an endless hunt. It is a fate that no Hunter can escape"

>>163095856
Honestly, who knows. Some people probably use more blood than others. If you're on the blood, though, chances are, you'll become a beast, it's not just hunters. Anyone is susceptible. That's the nature of it. Those big werewolves we fight were once regular Yharnamites. I suspect there's probably a good many people who go their lives never turning, though.

Gascoigne popped like he did because he was going for a while, and during our battle, he finally lost it. His wife had died, too, so he wasn't doing too well anyway, mentally. He was also clergy, and they always pop worse than regular folk. Vicar Amelia exploded into a full on Cleric Beast in front of us.

The reason our hunter doesn't turn is because something, an outside force, burned our beasthood away during that first blood transfusion. That werewolf that gets set ablaze before it touches is very symbolic, that's the beast, born of the blood, burned away, to be replaced by Nightmare denizens claiming us.

For a lot of people, Bloodborne was the only reason to buy a PS4. Hell, I know it was for me, but I'm in Ireland, which in fact may speak to how popular it was since this asspit of a country would look down its nose on it.

>>163096895
>>163096530
Definitely was for me. I bought my ps4 I think sometime during the spring of 2015. It was a gaming bundle deal, A ps4 with Bloodborne, The last of us remastered, and Order 1886 all for 300something euros. Pretty sick fucking deal at that point, and bloodborne alone was the whole reason why I got it at the time. Id have paid the same amount for just bloodborne and a ps4

Eileen and Djura both had dreams, Eileen even tells us to say hello to the doll for her after she kills us, presumably they both also killed Mergo.

>>163098179
Just because they dreamed doesn't mean they succeeded in doing what the player does

>>163098306
But anon, if you choose to die at the end your gravestone will be in the dream in the ng+ cycle, it just keeps repeating itself over and over with hunters. The only thing we do different is kill the Moon Presence.

>>163098449
Those are from previous hunts, not the same hunt you did. Your hunt is unique for several reasons.

Old yharnam is another night that was a hunt, where the moon loomed high.

The hunts end when the moon presence says they end, and for some reason he is not ending the night on the hunt the PC takes part in.

As
>>163096464
said, someone or seomthing burns away your beast-hood, the PC is unique for some reason. Outsiders such as yourself, gacgoinge, and the dude by the first bonfire are possibly dudes being influenced to come to yharnam (which in and of itself is trapped in some kind of time loop by the moon presence) until someone can kill mergo.

Why the MP has beef with mergo is unsure. Mergo is likely queen yharnams baby.
MP clearly hates rom, so its not too much of a stretch to imagine he just hates competition.

>>163098179
>presumably they both also killed Mergo

Where are you getting this from exactly? Djura was a dreaming hunter during the Old Yharnam burning and we have no idea what Eileen did while she dreamed. Djuras hunt was a special hunt, Eileens maybe too, maybe not but ours is as well.

>>163098449
This isn't Dark Souls, there are no cycles. There are probably gravestones for Djura, Eileen, Henryk and all the others in the dream, that doesn't mean that they all had to fight great ones etc. Your hunt is special because of the Mensis ritual that transforms almost everyone into a beast. The last time that happened and we know it happened was when OY burned down.

>A ps4 with Bloodborne, The last of us remastered, and Order 1886 all for 300something euros

I have two questions for the lore buffs here.

First is about vermin. As I understood it, the vermin is those disgusting centipede-like parasites and they're contained in all old blood, basically. The more blood gets around and gets accumulated the bigger vermin becomes. First it's not visible, then you get Loran Silverbeasts that spawn the fuckers and in the end you get shit like the headless Bloodletting Beast. Is that right?

And second is Bloodlickers. The hell are those? Did they use to be people or are they something else entirely?

>>163099842
The things that pop out of silverbeasts aren't vermin, just worms.

Bloodlickers are transformed pthumerians and vilebloods, same goes for the gargoyles.

>>163099842
>for the lore buffs here
no
BB lore is a pandora's box that should never be opened ever again
But to answer your question those aren't vermin and everything used to be human at one point except for the crows and rats

QUESTION

One of my weapons has a waning slot

I know watchers can drop a 27.2% offshape but that's not going to be anytime soon

The second best is 23.1% dropped by Loran SilverBeast HOWEVER, it has an extra secondary and a negative

It usually comes Bolt/Fire (Flat)

Is it still alowed to be buffed with paper and such?

>>163098449
The ng+ cycle is just a game mechanic. Otherwise the player would not go to ng+ if s/he chose to die.

>>163100452
nope, bolt/fire/arcane weapons can't be buffed with paper or the slime thing

>>163099842
Those two anons say the gutworms from the silverbeasts aren't vermin, but there's one sjust crawling around Cainhurst and under Iosefka's Clinic in a poison lake. I've always thought of them as vermin, especially since they look like smaller version of the colossal ones inside Bloodletting Beast.

Bloodlickers are Pthumerian beasts, along with Gargoyles. Cainhurst has them because we wuz pthumerians, they were using Pthumerian-derived blood. I guess they were trying desperately to maintain some semblance of royalty after the Church started growing big.

>>163100612

Okay, I thought that Bolt/Fire% does negate any Phys. DMG as well as making it unbuffable

I thought however, if it was flat you could still add the buff but now that I think about it it would be stupid as BoM Burial Blade and Amygdala arm exist

All wrong.

Why is the Saw Spear recommended over Cleaver for Arc? Am I wrong in thinking that once it's converted to elemental damage, the R2s are no longer considered thrust?

Also, what is the point in Arcane gems? It seems to do less damage than Fire or Bolt against pretty much anything. I heard it was better against Pthumerians but when I tried an Arcane Kirkhammer against Elder it did less damage than the physical version.

Serrated in both forms, rather than just in untricked like the Cleaver.
>Am I wrong in thinking that once it's converted to elemental damage, the R2s are no longer considered thrust?
That's right. There is no longer thrust when it's converted, as thrust is a form of physical damage.
>Also, what is the point in Arcane gems?
Kos Parasite, mostly. Generally, people go either Bolt or Fire for conversion weapons, as those two will do you just fine.

So is the Cleaver.

cleaver is not serrated when transformed

Hey /bbg/, on what level should I stay to "always" get summoned to help with bosses?

I discovered that I enjoy tremendously to fight bosses and shit on coop, but Im afraid that if I overlevel I will not get summoned anymore.
Im level 88 atm.

Also which are the bosses that most people summon for help?
Rom? Orphan? Amelia?

>>163105359
Your level is fine. 100 is good too.
Orphan and Ludwig get tons of co-op. And even at your level, you'll see plenty of activity in SRRC, though you'll be seeing a lot of defiled Amy and Hotdog.

You placed the music box in the personal effects tab, enter ng+, then picking up any item (NOT consumables) would replace the empty slot inside the personal effects tab with the item you picked up, this only seemed to worked with weapons and key items. However they cannot be used which is why he called it useless.

>>163105641
Eh, it's an interesting little glitch.

Was it tested with blood gems and ritual materials?

when I use a weapon that does blunt damage like the hunter axe, does that mean that every swing I perform does the damage number listed under "blunt" in the weapon's stats? Or do certain moves (like the dash-attack poke) just count as generic "physical" damage, and that is the number used to calculate the weapon's damage on actual the stats screen?

If this is indeed how it works, how many of the axe's attacks count as blunt?

>>163106262
Pretty sure standard swings are blunt. Almost the poke is a thrust though.

>>163106262
Physical damage is completely irrelevant on blunt weapons

>>163106685
It's a JoJo reference

Do a lot of weapons and enemy attacks do generic physical damage, but not blunt or thrust? Do any of the singular physical attacks in the game do a combination of these three (or two?) types of damage? How does that work out with the numbers?

>>163106405
the hunter axe doesn't have a number listed under the "Thrust" stat for damage, so it can't ever do thrust damage as far as I can tell

What are the best weapons for a str/arc build? Thinking 50 arc and 25 strength

>>163106262
Certain attacks are blunt, these use the blunt number. Others use the physical number, or if relevent the thrust number.

The only weapon that's 100% of its moves are blunt is the Beast Cutter. Kirk in tricked mode is all blunt as well. Axe is weird, in untricked only a few moves are blunt, but tricked the majority of them are. Even though it's the same axe blade.

You can check damage types in the spreadsheets in the OP. It lists entire moveset with attack modifiers and colour coded for damage type. White for Phys, Green for Thrust, Orange for Blunt, Red for blood and blue for Arcane.

>>163107386
Wheel, Moonlight and infused weapons.

So whats the story behind upper cathedral ward?

i just got there and it's pretty eerie . I dont mind spoilers

Can I put my save on a USB then accept Gehrman's offer and then reload my save to kill him to get both trophies?

>>163107776
Yes.

>>163107736
the Healing Church wanted a place to keep Ebrietas hostage for her sexual fluids.

>>163107494
So if i start with the axe and throw some fire gems in it or something I'll be good for awhile? I just started the character a few mins ago

>>163105061
>A /bbg/ poster found a hostile tomb prospector in a Pthumerian Elder boss area.

Like, as well as the boss, or the boss was placed with just a prospector?

>>163108052
If you put three fire gems on the Axe its damage will be converted to fire and it will scale from arcane exclusively.

>>163108083
The boss was there, but there was a hostile NPC as well. He posted a screenshot a while ago but I don't have it.

>>163107447
oh wow that's useful stuff, thanks. Not sure why I never checked before.

the only non-blunt attack of the 2H Hunter axe is the jump attack, strangely. It's also 20% serrated when in 1H mode, like the saw cleaver.

>>163107736
The Choir keep Ebrietas up there, she's the source of their blood, at least the stuff they dole out, or it's the raw shit then bred through blood saints and stuff. Also probably some gnarly ass experiments, considering you find the Celestial Emissary up there. It's just a general hive of mad science and eldritch horror, where the Church keep their dirty secrets.

>>163108216
nevermind I read that wrong:
>20% serrated when in 1H mode
is incorrect

>>163108190
>The boss was there, but there was a hostile NPC as well

Absolutely just fuck that

>>163108339
She's not the source of the blood

>>163108339
sounds spooky. dont know who or what ebrietas is but i cant wait to find out now

>>163108216
> the only non-blunt attack of the 2H Hunter axe is the jump attack, strangely.

Did you even read the chart? The dodging attacks and running/Backstep R1's attacks are also physical. But the point still stands, Blunt gems on a tricked hunters axe is viable and extremly good.

> It's also 20% serrated when in 1H mode, like the saw cleaver.

Yeah, that's not true.

>>163108486
Who is then?

>>163108486
>And deep within the Cathedral Ward is the old grand cathedral...the birthplace of the Healing Church's special blood, or so they say.

She is A source of blood. Not the only one, because not everyone is using the same strains. Cainhurst has uniquely Pthumerian-bred blood. The stuff they're currently using in Yharnam should be coming from Ebrietas.

>>163109496
Ebrietas isn't in the Grand Cathedral.

>>163108486
> The Old Grand Cathederal
> The birthplace of the Church's special blood, or so they say

There's also a few more dialogues/descriptions talking about how Grand Cathederal is source of the healing blood.

>>163090691
Ahhhh, you were at my side all along...

>>163109598
Yes she is. She's actually right behind it. You know where you pick up A Call Beyond? Look down over the railing. That's Amelia's boss room. The Grand Cathedral.

>>163109598
The Upper Cathedral Ward is literally located right on top of the Grand Cathedral + Cathedral Ward.
In fact, on the way to Ebrietas's fight, past the broken window, you can look down onto the Grand Cathedral.

Why isn't skl/arc a thing? Couldn't you just throw some arc gems in a rakuyo and go 25/50 ir something? Seems like most arc hybrids go with str

>>163109757
Because BoM and BB aren't actually arc weapons, and throwing arcane convertible gems onto a Rakuyo isn't skill/arc. It's just arcane, with the minimum requirements for a skill weapon.
What would be the point of going 25/50 anyways?The skill requirement for the Rakuyo is only 20.

>>163109598
> Church hides in the basement because they don't want people finding her
> it totally doesn't count as the Cathederal even though Amelia's and Eribritas's boss rooms practically share a wall.

>>163109691
>>163109735
>>163109930
Is my backyard also my house simply because they are close to each other and share a wall?

AWOOOOOOO

>>163110157
Yes? You fucking clown, do you not consider your backyard to be part of your house, your property?
Here is the quote again:
>And deep within the Cathedral Ward is the old grand cathedral...the birthplace of the Healing Church's special blood, or so they say.
The Cathedral Ward also includes the Upper Cathedral Ward, which is where you find Ebrietas.
And the old grand cathedral does include the upper echelon of it, the part that literally leads to Ebrietas upon breaking the window.

>>163109926
I'm not sure, i was just curious. My first char was pure skill, now i wanna do an arc build but I'm not sure if i should go 50 or 70 arc. If im gonna pick a weapon and throw arc gems in it should i just get the minimum reqs then pump arc? Are the tools actually useful?

>>163110157
Ah, semantics. Do dungeons and oubliettes not count as parts of a castle since they're hidden away? What about that secret room in Cainhurst behind the bookshelf you use to access the ladder to Logarius? Surely doesn't count as part of the castle.

You wanna get technical? Directly up past the railings above Amelia's room, you can walk right to the elevator and down the shaft to Ebby-chan's room. Literally not a single barrier between Amelia's room and Ebby's.

Anyone interested in helping me kill the Ringwraiths? I can kill headless Bloodletting Beast without taking damage but these guys fuck my shit up for some reason.

Anon...

>>163110453
>If im gonna pick a weapon and throw arc gems in it should i just get the minimum reqs then pump arc?
Yes, generally. Unless you're looking at the Logarius's Wheel which benefits from 25 (STR)/50 (ARC) as well. But if it's pure physical, then yeah, you just meet the minimum requirements, pump arc, and throw some arc/fire/bolt gems on it, whichever you prefer.
>Are the tools actually useful?
They're great, for the most part. You'll find yourself using some more than others. Tiny Tonitrus is pretty useless, situational if anything. Gloves, BSE, and Brew are all fantastic. They scale well past 50, too.

>>163110642

Ok cool. I'm beckoning at the stairs.

Instead of a meaningless title like Daughter of the Cosmos, they should've called Ebrietas "Source of the Blood"

>>163111556
>Source of The Blood
>What is the Bloodletting Beast in the Japanese release

Need help against ptumerian elder, can someone help via srrc?

Pass bbg

>>163111750
please explain

>>163111556
But anon, it just allows for more goddamn lorefagging, like the little slug babies being baby Ebby's being groomed as future blood sources, or methods of contact, or the name 'Daughter of the Cosmos' kind of being a little indefinite, is she THE Daugher or A Daughter, it's all good.

Not that I'm complaining, it's why I love this general, have had some very comfy nights discussing lore bits here.

>>163111750
Should we take Japanese names as absolute gospel? I suppose so, but I have to wonder, what do the names translate to in other languages? What is Micolash's German title? Or Celestial Emissary's Spanish name? One Reborn's Afrikaan's designation?

The Japanese name for BLB translates to "host of the Beastblood".

I have no idea why people thought this was such a revelation, people got so excited they started calling it "source of the Beastblood" when it's not that at all. He's a host of Beastblood, as in his body is ridden with vermin.

>>163112239
That was a right bollocking it was. Glad to help, anon!

Idk what your build is, but if you have 50arc bse stunlocks him to death from around 25-35% health

It does it from fifty, provided you go in with blood bullets and none of your shots miss.

How come there isnt any porn of anon fucking the wet nurse?

For Str/Skl/Blt builds, 22.3% Phys Droplets from DLC Lanterns are more than enough for the whole game. For PvP and Arc builds, you'll want to go into dungeons. Unless you're Twinking or mainly stick to Hunter Tools with high Arc.
