Ludwig was just a hunter and as far as we know Laurence had nothing to do with Mergo. He's Queen Yharnam's Child of Blood given by Oedon. Annalise is trying to have her own because Cainhurst has some Pthumerian ancestry or wants to think it has.

>>
>>163780462
Oedon is formless and exists only in sound, has great connections with oozing blood and it's all but confirmed that he's the one strengthening us with echoes of blood channeled by the Doll. Mergo is also formless like the Wet Nurse and the shadows of Yharnam. We can make the connection that they were send by Oedon to protect him.
Also, Pthumerians unlocked the eldrich Truth, I don't know if this is another Great One or what, but they had magic and stuff. Since we encounter beasts in the dungeons it means they messed with blood not unlike the Church and the forbidden blood brought to Cainhurst is implied to be Pthumerian.
Annalise wants a Child of Blood and for that needs blood dregs wich appear in the blood of echo fiends, hunters. She is trying to mimic Queen Yharnam by having a baby with a Great One using second hand blood sperm instead of beckoning the real deal.

>>163780685
Don't you start it.
>>
>>163781995
No, given Oedon's position as a great one, his lack of form, Mergo's lack of form, and the Wet Nurse's lack of form it makes good sense. This game's lore is based on putting the pieces together but you never really form the full picture. There is just little evidence that points to it being anyone other than Oedon.
>>
>>163782072
Different anon, but consider reading the description of the Formless Oedon rune.

Direct quote: "The Great One Oedon, lacking form, exists only in voice..."

He's not invisible, he doesn't have a body.
>>
>>163781919
Why is it well accepted? Because Mergo is formless? Well so is Ocelotte in DaS 3, and thanks to data mining we know that was a censorship thing, not an artistic choice. Games rarely get away with depicting dying babies.

Plus, Arianna's child is definitely from Oedon, and that isn't formless.
>>
>>163782072
The point that you're missing is that there is no form to see with or without insight/umbilical chords. There is no form. Being invisible means there is something there yet it simply cannot be detected with the eye. One does not describe something formless as invisible because it implies that there is actually something there but it simply cannot be seen. Formless means there's nothing there at all. It isn't invisible, it doesn't exist.

Only in voice, that is. One of the voices that Caryll transcribed into runes.

Anyway, despite his connection to blood I still don't see how it connects him to the Doll. I always presumed we're borrowing MP's strength, since we're working for him, and Doll is the result of "Laurence and his associates beckoning the Moon". Unless Oedon is also involved? Seems weird to me.

Ok anon, I wish you luck but I can't let you go on like this. It takes 1000's of kills for people to farm a set of BLT offshapes from shotgun watcher, BLT gems from Isz Boss-Watchers probably have a 1/10,000 drop chance, if that. Then there's a 1/3 chance of it being rating 19 and either a 2/3-1/6 chance of being a useable curse depending on your standards. Then it's a 1-2% chance for an offshape. By all means farm those Watchers for the rest of your life, but 6000 kills later without a single BLT triangle, let alone a 32.6% radial, don't say we didn't warn you.

Interesting, I'm not sure. Maybe because Oedon lost Mergo and then impregnated Arianna? I'm tempted to say they gave it a form just so you'd have something to murder for the chord. It'd be tough if she gave birth to literally nothing. Also, it's a copy of the things in Upper Cathedral which are supposedly botched Choir attempts to create a Great One. It's Oedon's failed attempt at a surrogate?

perhaps the doll became the moon presence's child, or the closest thing to one it could make, and it finally became complete with the death of its parent, following the path set by Kos? And the third ending is you actually becoming her own child, without the deaths of parent or offspring.

>>163782186
I think your difficulty to accept that Oedon may be MP comes from the storytelling. As people need to deduce some things with the elements given, it's hard to make some new links.
You know that Gehrman beckon the MP to transcend himself, and that Oedon is a formless god worshiped in some places in Yharnam, so you can't link the two because MP had a body.

You can still notice that the Oedon rune looks very closely to an amygdala head and that some amygdala are invisible for humans and stuck on some Yharnam buildings, you even know they can talk in your head.

In fact, Oedon is similar to amygdala, but it's hard to link to it because amygdalas look like clones, and there's no single entity behaving like their master which would be Oedon.

With all these elements, it's easy to think that the main great one of the game, the one linked to the moon, and to the city of Yharnam (if it was the great one used to breed the pthumerians), is the oldest deity in the city/world, and it's considered formless since none besides few hunters and pthumerians were able to beckon it.

>>163782467

>>163783804
I think the formlessness is a connection. I know what you mean by Arianna's having no form but it could be traits taken on based on the parents. Some kids take after one parent or the other. In one case Mergo could be formless as it's closer to Oedon and the other, because of the different mother, Arianna's thing has a form. Genetically, it makes sense.

But seriously, I know where you're coming from and I think the link is flimsy at best. Frankly, we have nothing else to go on. The community likely arrived at Oedon through process of elimination.

With a completed level 100 build I could probably destroy isz boss watchers in under a minute. Factoring in savescumming and I could probably farm 10+ times in 30 mins. Even on a busy day working 12+ hours (I'm a professional chef) I could easily fit this around working, other vidya and general adult shit. I also doubt the drop rate would be 1/10k, maybe more like 1/1k or less

Two actually.

There's probably a bunch that people didn't take pictures of, but still think of all the times Isz Watchers have been killed since release by everyone who played the game.

>>163784573
Would you mind making a word document that recorded the type of every gem for each kill? Just write Tempering, Fire, Adept, Murky, Nourishing etc... as you see the gem. No need to look at rating and curse, just the name of the gem as it pops up before you quit to menu and reload the save.

It would be interesting data.

Yeah I don't buy it. Oedon is either the father of squid babby or the father of Mergo, but not both. In my opinion Mergo is completely unrelated, he's just a babby great one that mensis got their hands on and are trying to use to lure the MP. As for why the game ends once Mergo is dead, that's a whole different fucking mystery.

The Eldritch truth is mostly related to the chalices and to the great ones.

To make it simple, the great ones are powerful beings that can transcend space and time, and they can grant their powers to the humans.
But granting these powers is a very very nasty event.
To beckon a great one and be accepted as a surrogate, someone have to ingest a specific part of a previous surrogate breeding, the umbilical cord. It is assumed than the older the great one you want to see, the more you need surrogate parts.

Once you're a surrogate, you unlock the Eldritch truth, the fact of manipulating space and time at will, and creating other realities. As well as being probably linked to other great ones, into some gigantic ayy psychic internet. In the created realities, you can add you own rules (who will come, how, when leaving, for how long, enemy, ect...)

On the other side, humans can still access parts of the surrogate creation, by using biological materials.
With an old artifact, probably given by the great ones, they can mix biological parts and drink it so they would access alternate realities, called the old labyrinth. This type of realities were created mainly by the Pthumerians. The root chalices had the amazing power to directly create new realities from the existing ones, in exchange of some exceptional biological parts.

The same way, the hunters played with biological parts, to get closer to the Eldritch truth (not anyone can be surrogates).
They add aliens eyes into brains to improve their perception.
They expended brains using alien brains fluids.
They recreated a link with great ones by transforming blood into semen.
They injected alien blood into their bodies to improve their physical abilities.
They mixed humans bodies and make them alive thanks to the red moon rituals.

They said it during the whole game. The Eldritch Truth is a massive source of madness for humans.

Sure no worries, anon

This is my final BB build, and I've never made a bloodtinge build before, so I'll be collecting as much data as possible - Isz Watcher drop rates, pushing unconventional weapons like the rifle spear and reiter to their limits etc.

When completing my pizza cutter build I regularly got adept, arcane, elemental and poison gems from Isz Watchers (killed them about ~50 times). Assuming nourishing and bloodtinge gems are as rare to these as they are to physicals, and it should still be possible, if retarded as the other anon suggested

Any other data collecting you guys want and I'll be happy to provide

The bagmen are dead because their purpose in assembling the ritual to summon the One Reborn was completed and presumably they got sacrificed along with everyone else once it had begun in earnest.

There is nothing to suggest that genetics do apply either because again its eldritch magic. Kos gave birth to a humanoid hunter baby with wings when she's some weird slug whale with a face.

And there shouldn't be a pregnancy at all. that's the point. It's beyond our comprehension about how in the fuck this horrible shit actually occurred, and to tie any of it to genetics misses the point completely.

Cane is very good with 50 skill and balance the short range of the BoM, give it a try.
>>
>>163787998

>>
>>163787998
I usually combo blade of mercy with the threaded cane since the burial blade is too similar. Beasthunter Saif is the only weapon that can keep the close ranged pressure of the BoM with godly spacing control. Rakuyo is slower and more stamina heavy than the BoM but it has much more powerful and versatile combos.

What suggests they apply is the undeniable fact that because she was impregnated by a great one to begin with. If genetics do not apply, there are no pregnancies.

BoM is good enough to handle pretty much every situation in the game besides a few bosses with hard to hit points like Amy. Even then, its still doable with patience

>>163788518
Bow needs blt for arrows but its untricked form scales in skill

It is.

Saif is also the perfect counter to the HMLS too. The problem there is gems completely unbalance shit. The damage difference in that webm is ridiculously obvious.

Did you not read the second line? That's what I'm talking about there. It's not supposed to happen, or even be remotely possible, but it does anyway, its 'how's' being unexplained and incomprehensible. Pregnancy also generally requires sperm, which is produced in the testes of the male parent, in order fertilize the egg. I don't think I need to explain why Oedon, being formless, cannot produce such things in that way. And that's without even getting into the fact the pregnancy completes itself over the course of one night, while in a reality that may or may not even be truly real.

People usually stop around bl 80 for the main game and may go above that for late chalice dungeons and DLC stopping around 120. 140 is way above that and only reddit stops at 150. Weirdly enough, bl 240 gets constant SRRC action.

>>163790575
i asume he means that because reddit pvp meta level is 120, closer to yours, you dont get anything in middle mensis ?

>>163790452
There is really no reason to use the untricked version of the cane if you pair it up with the BoM, except maybe a little more range for stealth backstabs. But the tricked version with serrated bonus, ability to buff with papers, exceptional crowd control and boss weakspot hitting will come in handy when the BoM fails, in particular against bosses like bloodletting beast and loran darkbeast.

Saif is sort of the katana of BB in that its speed abuses latency to create all sorts of weird hits, like dash attacks in general

Despite the shit it gets the chikage is probably one of the best katanas FROM have ever made moveset wise, and only distinguishes itself with its horrendous AR

The transform attack also has a pretty funky hitbox to abuse like the saw spear

ah thats a good thought actually, i was concerned about not being able to exploit boss weaknesses since BoM is not serrated, righteous or buffable - so that's a nice fix i guess. I guess the Saif doesn't have the advantage of being Serrated, so is worse in that regard.

Chikage is ridiculously easy to deal with though. Untricked it does shit damage. Tricked and you can just play keep away and make them bleed themselves out.

That strategy has the added benefit of frustrating them and causing them to get sloppy.

The cane is only righteous untricked though, but I don't think I ever had trouble against enemies weak to righteous when using the BoM.

Saif is a little lower on damage than the BoM in a pure skill build, but maybe if you have 25+ strength it surpasses it, especially when buffed. Most people use it because of it's particular moveset that includes automatic front and backsteps during hits. You can emulate those with the BoM, including tricked L2 and it's fast attacks that allow you to dodge whenever, but the Saif does those while also automatically covering a wide range and with better stun.

What I'm getting from this is that you got a reasonable explanation for why Mergo is formless (just like Oedon) such as genetics being passed down to offspring, but you rather say because muh magic in a game already suggesting genetics at play (evolution into kin/devolution into beasts/evolution into dark beasts).

I mean just look at the dark beasts, they evolved electricity to fight off the kin, clearly suggesting genetics at play.

There's no reason to assume that basic characteristics of the world do not apply unless there is an underlying reason stated which proves they do not apply. Do you not understand the issue with your "it's all magic bullshit" theory? Aside from the fact that it serves no basis for an argument, it's totally unreasonable baseless.

Why are we assuming gravity is really a thing in Bloodborne? It's probably just Amy's magic bullshit! No way to prove that it isn't!

How do we even know that people age and grow on their own? Nothing proves that MP isn't controlling all of that.

With your suggestion we would literally have to question every basic tenant of life that the game does not explain. Assuming that things are different because it's a fantastical world without any evidence is simply stupid.

A 4x revved Logarius wheel also using Beastblood pellets is a thing to behold.

Even though it's base arcane damage is 50, at 50 ARC a tricked, 4x revved wheel with Nourishing Abyysals reachs over 800 AR before attack modifiers. That's just arcane damage, if you also have 50 STR and a beast blood pellet you get around the same damage, maybe even more, in blunt.

So the great ones beckoned the hunters.

Does that mean in the infant ending you become a surrogate infant for the doll? Might that mean the doll is a Great One? Or is the doll going to fulfill a Wet Nurse type role?

Wild rambling and speculations here, perhaps someone can set me straight

Nah, you got it flipped. The hunters beckoned the great ones, or at least Moon Presence. Kos was found dead (or found in fishing hamlet and killed by Byrgenwerth depending on who you ask. But the inportant part is that Kos was just found at sea), Mergo was summoned by Yahar'gul and the achool of mensis along with Wet Nurse to protect her/him.

I have no intention of using Bloodletter or Cannon
I feel like the first one gives me more flexibility to use bowblade as a backup weapon for when I want to not drain hp and just variety. But is 40 Skill worth? I could also use Reiter with the first build. Is there any reason the first build would be particularly awful?

I love Moon Presence. It's design, it's lore. It's a shame most people are OP by the time they fight it, it's a fun fight if you purposefully use weaker weapons so the fight lasts longer.

I think it's supposed to be weak, it needs hunters to do the dirty work after all.

Especially if they do the Old hunter DLC. MP is a push over. They should make MP like the DLC boss fight for DS3. You have to beat gherman to fight him every time.

Well there's 3 possible ratings and 6 possible curses at 3 severity's each.

I don't know how many secondary effects there are, but Flat Phys, Open Foes, Low HP, Full HP and durability are all pretty common. And each secondary effect has 3 strengths regardless of gem rating. Also secondary effects are different rarity's, so it's impossible to say the exact rarity.

But pretty fucking rare, considering the amount of variables.

So is the forbidden blood taken to Cainhurst Yharnams?

Dregs look like semen and Annaliesse wants to bear a child of blood, and the blood rapture rune from Shadows of Yharnam describes Yharnam as a Queen, carrier of a child of blood

So I feel like since Yharnam had her kid cut out of her, she had perhaps given birth to a child of blood, which could be a replacement child for a great one (so perhaps it was offered to a Great One who sent the Wet Nurse to safeguard it?)

So Cainhurst snuck some blood out to try and make the queen like Yharnam so she could have a child of blood and blood beckon a Great one herself?

>>
>>163806920
His gun does ridiculous amounts of damage- literally like a thousand if it's a counterhit- and he just fights like an asshole sometimes. Him having infinite bullets and access to blood vials to heal his giant health pool makes him honestly kind of bullshit, especially on cycles of NG+.

Sure, he can be cheesed, and he walks into charged R2s like any other NPC hunter, but even so, sometimes he just decides to input read and snap parry you to death.

Plus he's a huge edgelord and a Vileblood on top of it, and no one likes either of those.

Remember, in the opening few cutscenes, that werewolf made of blood bursting into flames when it touches you? That's supposed to symbolize you being immunized to the scourge, due to your contract with the Moon Presence and your induction into the Dream. After all, it wouldn't do the Moon Presence any good if its underlings were turning into beasts, would it?
>>
I believe the hunter recieved the cure he was looking for right at the start. Yharnam blood is said to heal all, right? The "payment" however was being a hunter, and avoiding succumbing the beast disease/rescue by the messengers was exactly that.

Paleblood relates to the moon, as per the message in Yahar'gul. Since the hunt would be transcended, it's very likely so, especially considering you transcend it when dealing with Gehrman/MP.

Thoughts? Or has this all been said before? I wouldn't be surprised, so apologies in advance.

Dodge into Paarl's attacks, at a range where you'd go right underneath it. Makes it very easy.

Bosses get a little easier as well. Gascoine is always in your asshole and very few others do that. Cleric Beast is tough for a beginner, but not too bad at a higher level or for someone experienced.

>>163812808
Is this your first playthrough? That's a very high skill weapon that takes quite a bit of getting used to in order to use it properly. Not that suitable for early game despite the fact that they give you it as a possible starting wep
>>
>>163813082
Yes its my first playthrough but I've played a lot of souls games. The mobs are very easy and I have only had problems with bosses.
Cleric - 3 tries
Gascgoine - 3 tries
Bloodstarved - 4 Tries
Darkbeast - 11 tries?

In general I think the boss fights so far have been centered around either triggering a visceral attack or stagger by spamming R1 - or using rally by spamming R1.

I am not used to it. Dodging is ok but with the cane the fights seem to go for a long time (5+ minutes)

Need another lorefag to help me think some stuff out about how the amygdalas work.
So there are only about 3 or 4 different ways to access a dream/nightmare, right?
Get nabbed by an ammy
Remote access your way in using a master of a nightmare's rotting corpse
Teleport in via the hunter's dream
Or walk there in the case of the Hamlet nightmare. (I only say this because the hunter's nightmare and it seem to be located on two different planes and operate differently. Such as you don't find and hunters actually hunting there, unlike below where they're supposed to be hunting. I'm not looking to debate this point right now.)
There's also falling through the world in the Hunter's dream's case.

Right now I'm trying to think about how the Ammies operate.
This is what I've come to understand so far.
Each ammy is connected to a layer of the nightmare. The Odeon chapel ammy can only take you to the Hunter's Nightmare and the Yarhar chapel ammy can only take you to the Nightmare Frontier.
In order for a ammy to take you to a nightmare you must have an item corresponding to the layer of the nightmare. In the case of the Odeon chapel the Blood Drunk Hunter Eye, and in the case of the Yarhar chapel the Tonsil Stone.
And finally Ammies can obviously somehow access the nightmare.

Theory: Amygdalas act as a sort of elevator that requires a key to operate. When activated they climb the layers of the nightmare and put you on the layer of the nightmare they are connected to. This is why amygdalas are always situated on top of buildings, they are climbing down from the cosmos.
I believe the items act as the key to signal an ammy to climb up to the nightmare. It may remind them of the nightmare or any other number of things, I need more help thinking on this point.
Cont.
>>
>>163813050
Yes being aggressive is the key to success in Bloodborne. If you want to circle, block and wait for opening, Dark Souls is for you.
>>

The last thing I want to make is on how each ammy is connected to an individual layer. The only idea I can come up with is that the ammy is somehow connected with, or is, the person who was the master of the dream. I prefer the idea that the ammy is the old master of the dream. It would explain why there isn't an ammy connected to the Mensis layer as well as explain why we never have any confirmation as to who the Masters of any other layers are.

I would greatly appreciate any supporting or undermining evidence as well as any additional ideas or comments to add to what I've said.

Don't hang on to the idea that being good at Souls translates to being good in Bloodborne. They're different games.
Take advantage of rally in this game, but remember that it's not an excuse for reckless play. Be aggressive, but aware. You don't necessarily have to parry/visceral fish all the time. It helps to learn the boss's moves and tells, and react accordingly.

Amy's are just great ones that happen to hang around places of worship. I think they are attracted to worship and the maybe it is the frenzy they induce that allows the person to penetrate into another dimension especially if there is an anchor of said dimension nearby.

One possibility is that the Amygdalas were created due to Kos's curse. The Amy that takes you to the Hunter's nightmare does so when you have a blood drunk hunter eye, so it could be the case that they just straight up complete Kos's curse by snatching anyone they see who is blood addled, and they know who is blood addled because of their eyes (that could also be why most people in Yharnam cover their eyes, it could have become urban legend that hunters who are blood drunk and leave their eyes exposed disappear).

The description of the Amygdalan Arm calls them Great Ones, but I remember some other description station there were "lesser" Amygdalas, so I'm kinda torn on where they are on the Great One/kin scale. Are theh a specie? Weren't Great One supposed to be unable to have offspring?

Adding unto your theory of Amygdalas working as elevators of transportation, the dead Amygdala in Hunter's nightmare could imply and Anygdala fell from Nightmare frontier.

>>163814007
>One possibility is that the Amygdalas were created due to Kos's curse
I don't think I agree with this. It is for certain that the amygdala that is on odeon chapel is there due to Kos' curse but I don't believe all Ammies were made due to it. Otherwise I believe the ammy that takes you to the nightmare frontier would also be able to take you to the Hunter's nightmare.
What's your take on the Tonsil Stone?

To be honest I'm gonna go with your theory. It's just a stone that's somehow linked to nightmare frontier so the Amy knows where to take you, don't know how to feel about each Any being tied to a certain area of the nightmare, I think it's just gameplay reasons different amygdalas take you to different areas. The important part is that those objects tell them where to take you.

Fun fact:
The word for tonsil in Spanish is amígdala, and real life tonsils look alot like an Amygdala's head, pic related.

yes I did pick the grossest picture I could find

The weapon has several blunt attacks, so yes, blunt gems will do you well. A couple of its attacks are thrust, though.

>>163815060
I think the Amy’s don’t take you to a specific location. Rather you have to remember what tonsils are >>163814938. The dimensions already exist parallel to the real world and they have real life anchors. So my theory is that when you have a tonsil stone, the Amy just assumes that you belong in those crevices like how tonsils stones are found in tonsils. So it puts you back where you “belong”.

I like the idea. We run into a few more Amygdalae right after defeating Rom. Two or three I believe. One for the dream, one for the nightmare, one for the hamlet? Other two are accounted for.

I'm stretching here but seeing as how amygdalae are parts of the brain tied to memory, could they be the conduit through which a host of a dream connect to the cosmos? Micolash had some powers but clearly wasn't on par with a Great One, same with Gherman. I'm thinking they were hosting and an Amy was sustaining/connecting that plane to the cosmos?
>>
>>163815575
We don't run into them. They were present all along just invisible without enough insight. They might be keepers of such pocket dimensions like the nightmare, dream and hamlet etc. They look like tonsil stones and tonsils are crevices which the dead are trapped in. So maybe Amygdalae is the great one of pocket dimensions like Odeon is for blood, MP for moon etc.
>>
>>163815390
Yea that does sound like a great tool. Thank you fellow hunter!
>>
>>163815768
You know what I mean by "run into them."

And after Rom we gain access to a new part of Yar, I don't believe the ones we see there are within sight before killing Rom and revealing them all regardless of insight levels.

>tonsils are crevices which the dead are trapped in

Not sure I follow. Is there another definition of tonsil that I'm unaware of?

I think they look like the tonsil stone because of

>singular: amygdala; /əˈmJɡdələ/; also corpus amygdaloideum; Latin, from Greek ἀμυγδαλή, amygdalē, 'almond', 'tonsil'
>>
>>163816097
> Tonsils are filled with crevices where bacteria and other materials, including dead cells and mucus, can become trapped

Sounds familiar?
>>
>>163816290
Can become trapped. I gotcha. Seemed like you were saying that was their primary function.
>>
>>163816409
My theory is their primary function is the upkeep and connection with these crevices. Or maybe these crevices exist inside the Amygdalae and each one is a dimension by itself. Part of Miyazaka gimmick when it comes to storytelling is telling you enough parts of the stories that you can form and come up with your own theories to fulfill your own adventure.

It's impossible to actually sequence break anymore. You went to a hard area early, but you didn't skip anything. Pre-patch you could skip the first three mandatory bosses by jumping a fence, and potentially ruin your game by changing the time of day out of order. But that's not possible anymore.

There's really no reason to level up stats that you're not gonna use, though. If you want a challenge, just do BL4.

He's talking out his ass. No one knows whether or not it's a glitch or intentional because datamining is impossible on ps4 and FromSoft don't share any info. Even people working on the guide don't have that info, since the guide says Rating 20 gems with no secondary are possible.

It's happened multiple times, and an anon here got a BLT triangle from a Brainsucker once. "Out of effect" is meaningless because it only happens on enemies that can drop any effect, whether or not it's a glitch or just super rare is irrelevant.

I've gotten multiple Fire gems to drop from Pthumeru watchers and even a ghost, despite it being an "impossible" effect. Out of effect doesn't exist, the global loot pool is every effect in the game, some are just once in a lifetime rare. Enemies with set loot pools (eg HBLB for Heavies) have 0 recorded drops of the wrong gem effect. Watchers have dozens of types of gems in thier drop list. Each at different rarity.

>>163828084
Depth 1 Chalice's are as hard as first couple areas in main game.

Depth 2 is just a tad harder

Depth 3 is a big jump in difficulty, bout the same as late main-game

Depth 4 is endgame/NG+ difficulty

Depth 5 is even worse.

Putting on additional rites spawns tougher enemies, buffs certain types and halves your HP in exchange for better loot.

Do them until you get bored, if you feel overleveled spend echos on maxxing out supplies of items instead of leveling. Gem drops in dungeons are also vastly overpowered compared to main game gems. You can have 20.3% physical gems before Amelia by doing dungeons, but then the main game thinks a 7% gem is worthy loot in the Woods.

BB should, in theory, make you think about playing those games differently. They are so much more fun if played without shields or, at least, with a focus on rolling and partying.

You can't have Accursed Brew and Kos Parasite is almost useless.
>>
>>163813261
the case of amygdalas is really interesting
as the other anon said, they have a weird status
in theory, great ones can't replicate directly, they must use a surrogate to probably extend their own life
that's why there's, in theory, only one Ebrietas, only one Moon Presence, only one Wet Nurse. But there'is multiple amygdalas.
So amygdalas must be something else than old great ones, as they don't have the same powers (extreme long life, surrogate), they must have different powers than modifying reality.

As you said, amygdala are presented as silent watchers, and keepers of the memory. They also clearly have to power to teleport people into different nightmares.

For recall, the hunter's nightmare is accessed by cursed hunters when they dies, and the nightmare frontier probably holds the dead antic beasts (old scourge beasts). The mensis nightmare is related to the school of mensis, and was created by mensis.
You can directly enter nightmare frontier and the mensis nightmare by using doors in the lecture hall dream/nightmare.
You can enter the nightmare frontier by holding the tonsil stone, a meteorite fallen from the cosmos, and the hunters nightmare by holding a distorted pupil symbol of hunters losing their sanity (so cursed by the orphan of kos).

So while amygdalas watch over the world and record it, they can also send you into nightmares they know. One amygdala look related to one specific nightmare, but not all nightmares hold amygdala (mensis one (unless the brain is somewhat like amygdala)), like a guardian.

Did you guys got weird shit in chalices?

>having anything more than 0 (zero) insight

Disgusting
>>
>>163832069
Amygdala is also the only alien to be present in all the chalices deeper than 3, one in defiled, one in lower loran, one in isz.

As for the tonsil stone, some anon explained they are related to amygdala, and they lead to the nightmare frontier which is protected by an amygdala.

The strange thing is that you can access it via the lecture buildings, as the mensis nightmare. So, is the nightmare frontier the nightmare of MP? The first nightmare supposed to keep the scourge beasts (humans infected with too much paleblood) after their death?
Then the pthumerians were the first to raise a surrogate, and used their powers to create massive short realities, the labyrinth?
Then the hunters took back the surrogate breeding and created a huge reality (Mensis being the first surrogate of the church), linked to the old nightmare of MP via the lecture hall short reality (maybe a test which had the purpose to become a "travel hall" between all the future nightmares of the church surrogates (Mergo is probably too young to create one).

Maybe ebrietas doesn't have any nightmare because she's focused on manipulating time (despair altar)? Maybe that's why her surrogate (like rom) can only create simple nightmares like blank lakes? Maybe the pthumerians found her by expanding the labyrinth until it reached some parallel small reality of her?
>>
>>163822127
Once you get the Eye of a Blood Drunk Hunter, go stand where the Hunter set was in the start of the cathedral ward level. You should get grabbed, and transported. It might have even happened your first time through, in the very first courtyard where the two church servants used to patrol before you killed Amelia. You can survive it now.

Bl60 is a little low but it's doable if your build is solid and your weapon should be at least +6.
>>
Anyone up for OoK?
Be warned I only have a +6 tonitrus

>>
>>163835182
to end it, I'll add that the brain of amygdala is full of internal eyes, and that they can easily release brain fluid
their brain is also surrounded by an external skull that look like a cage
amygdalas are numerous in the yarhgul village, where most of the scholars of mensis used antenna cages to be connected to great ones (as to see them apparently)
in the same time, the early church (post byrgenwerth which started the study on brain and eyes) developed techniques to inject brain fluids and eyes (surgery altar) into human brain (the fluids being the new medium to add eyes since the ebrietas breeding (rom) wasn't sufficient to create umbilical cords (also able to link aliens and humans bodies (eyes and brains))

maybe that finally the quest for eyes of willem had the purpose to attain the powers of amygdalas, and to "discover" new realms/plan/realities/nightmares, so to discover new great ones (so to create more powerful church surrogates).
>>
Hey hoontas, did you know that you're Mergo, the new MP church surrogate, supposed to create a new nightmare for the church?

The previous surrogate was Mensis. The whole game is its dream, empowered by his great one link to amygadalas (he's able to navigate in multiple plans known by amygdalas). His master is Gehrman because he was the first to replace the pthumerian link with MP by the hunters one.
That's why the secret ending is about using surrogate breeding materials and lead you to a slug baby (Mergo).

>>163839265
In the starting levels it doesn't matter. You should level vit to 20, end up to 20 max, Vit to 30 , then your scaling stats. So until you get 30 vit and your stopping point of end (or 20, whichever is lower), it won't matter what starting weapon you are using.

When you have 30 vit and up to 20 end is about when you start getting most of the other weapons anyway. Plus, leveling in that order greatly increases your survivability.

70 ARC can be pretty fun, especially with Kos Parasite.

My first playthrough was a skill build, using BoM and i later found Rakuyo and Bowblade in the DLC (but Bowblade is half useless with no BLT)

My second in progress build is an Arcanist, which has proven to be really confusing and need quite a bit of research but is pretty different and fun

Thinking of doing a Bloodtinge build 3rd then seeing which one i like the most and going chalice diving.

Am i missing out on anything? I know Quality builds with stuff like LHB are quite popular but it feels like it will be pretty dull 'hit things with swords' I figured i might make a quality build and do Beast Claw + Beast Embrace, is that even remotely viable
>>
>>163840428
For Blt aim for Military Vet: 40/10/14/15/50/6, then whatever Vit and End you prefer. 28 Str for Church Cannon and Gatling Gun is good too. Beast Claw is Str-leaning Quality, so 50/25+ Str/Skl is optimal for it.

^Those are the main ones. JoaT is a niche, but it is a lot of fun, and can let you try out every weapon and tool's moveset before wasting the time to make a build dedicated to a weapon you find out you don't like.

Consider your final stats

A pure bloodtinge built (like my 117 99 blt build) will need 14 skill, maybe 15 for the bowblade. That's easy to level on noble scion. So I would recc saw spear, fire paper and pellets

Alternatively you can grab the rifle spear and farm thrusting gems from the first undead giant in the chalice dungeons

ACTUALLY FUN ROUTE:
Repeating pistol. Grab it after the cleric beast, grab the bloodtinge gem in the healing church workshop, maybe grab the 20 flat blood attack gem in a depth 2 root dungeon (your call), save your bone marrow ash (you can find chests with 10 BMA in depth 1 root dungeons easily), level up your bloodtinge and vitality stat, and blow enemies the fuck out

CROWSTEEL APPROVED

Logarius will be challenging regardless of the option you pick and you'll have to beat him w/ skill and strategy

>>163841342
Chikage untricked is pretty shit, so stick to tricked and take advantage of unzips while untricking when you're not attacking. 40/50 is eh, 50/50 is possible while being at 120 with 40 Vit and base End. Start with Lone Survivor or Noble Scion, Military Veteran if you change your mind about the Bloodletter. Don't listen to Luci, just ignore and filter the faggot.
>>
>>163841342
It actually works better than you would expect. HMLS works really well with it, and any purely physical weapon can be converted to Arc scaling. The only weapons that don't really shine on it are the Blt Weapons, but you can at least get a feel for their movesets.

That said, I would not recommend using it in a serious FC, but it is a lot of fun in PvE

There's never a reason to pick Professional when Lone Survivor exists. With that said, go 45/12/11/50/50/7. If End seems a little too low you could take some out of Vit. But Vit and damage stats are always more important, and Chikage/Bowblade don't use much stamina so even 8 End with a 20% Stamina Rune is enough.
>>
Is 18end good enough for Rakuyo?
>>
>>163842198
With stamina runes, yes
>>
>>163842198
As long as you you can spin twice then dodge once.
>>
>>163842198
WIth 20% rune it'll allow a 4 R1 combo + a dash or 2 R1 + L2 + a dash, and barely 2 L2 attacks. It's enough for any hit and run.
>>
>>163841342
>wait that repeating pistol thing sounds fun as fuck, is it actually viable? I can just level BLT and a bit of Vit and just shoot bosses to death with Ash?
You get about 15-20 bone marrow ash before Logarius if you hit Old Yharnam and Hemwick. The forest area before Hemwick with the riflemen actually drop BMA, but without any way of increasing your discovery runes you will be limited to guaranteed pickups and I know you want to rush Cainhurst for the goodies. There's loot chests in depth 1 dungeons that give you a full set of BMA as well. I don't have the glyphs to hand, but they're probably on Reddit somewhere, and while the bloodtinge gem in the healing church workshop is good and easy to get (though you will have to beat BSB in Old Yharnam), there's a better one which gives ~20 flat damage to all guns (again the glyph is probably on Reddit) in a depth 2 root. Most of this shit involves detours I appreciate, but at the very least you'll need to beat Cleric/BSB to hit Amy

Either way, you'll have a +7/maybe +8 repeating pistol when you fight Logarius, and probably a +6 saw spear backing you up at 14 skill at the very least. Grab a few communion/formless oedon runes and enjoy gunspamming. It's not as safe as a hunter axe build sure, but it's nothing retarded like a fists-only run

Before the DLC dropped I made a repeating pistol build using early-game resources that could practically one-shot phantoms with BMA. Not even technically twinking either

>Everyone is saying to keep skill low, so perhaps i've completely misread it, but the plan for a 40 skill 50 blt seems to be wrong? I was hoping to be able to use both forms of the bowblade as a backup to tricked chikage
25 skill and 50 bloodtinge would be alright. With triple 27.2% physical gems on a normal chikage you can still use things like the running R2, but compared to true skill weapons like the rakuyo and BOM it's eh. Honestly the chikage’s true potential is its insane AR with even unoptimised gems

Im focussing Hammer, with the gas as lil' joke with the Hitler schtick (Not used sprayer much apart from on Rom, so I want an excuse to use it) and the Ton as backup if PvP opponent are wearing full Bone Ash or Charred. I dont see where BLT comes into it however, surely it means nothing to an Str/Arc based build.

Was also thinking Hatless Gascoigne set looks the most Nazi, any other contenders?

Dare I say it-but Lucy, do you have an input (you dedicated faggot), especially with the Anon just below my first post going Boom Hammer too?

>>163841786
Oddly Specific, but kek all the same
>>
>>163842006
im sure there's nothing wrong with it as a catchall bloodtinge build, it looks great. However if you aren't planning on using the cannon or bloodletter, then obviously the points in Strength are wasted. So personally i'd take the 14 points out of strength, but them into skill and maybe a couple into End to make 20 end 30 skill?

>>163842074
Ok that looks decent, is the gap between 40 to 50 skill a lot then? 12 Endurance does seem kind of low but i guess taking Anti Clockwise and Hunter rune offset that a bit?

>>163842540
sounds like a fun start, what weapon do you start? Cleaver? Then go Gascoine > Cleric > Amelia > Witches > Cainhurst?

Or should i absolutely go to Old Yharnam and grab the Rifle Spear first
>>
>>163842743
The points in Str make the Axe work well with it to start, making getting the tinge weapons less painful, and they also benefit the Bloodletter, which is really the best tinge weapon in the game.

Being able to use all of the Tinge weapons also adds a lot of variety so you can switch it up whenever you get bored, which is a godsend on a build that you could spend retarded amounts of time gem farming for.

Additionally, other than the BL, most BLT weapons suck in their untrick forms anyway, so the 50 Tinge is all you really need to make them good anyway.
>>
>>163842981
Fair enough. I get what you're saying about variety, i do, it's just that if i want variety i'd rather switch over to something like Bowblade as opposed to Bloodletter.

I'm pretty autistic about the 'feel' of my builds so i do dumb shit like refusing to use beast blood pellets on an arcanist because it's 'impure' or whatever, basically like character archetypes, and in my head Bloodletter just doesn't match up with what i imagine a blood wielder using. I'm aware this is pretty autistic.

Also as a note for my Arcanist build, in case anyone is wondering, levelling nothing but ARC to 50 and trying to clear to Rom is a bad fucking idea and you shouldn't do it

>>163842743
Grab the saw spear in the sewers before Gazza, then kill the Cleric Beast, grab the pistol from the insight bath and kill Gazza using gun spam/molotovs/oil urns/music box/backstabs/environment cheese

You can either try and get 10k echoes to buy the cleric beast badge to reach Amelia straight away, or hit Old Yharnam, gets tons of mats for multiple guaranteed +3 weapons, pick up the rifle spear if you want, pick up a few BMA, kill BSB, do however many chalices you want (honestly up to you), then either kill Amelia with molotov spam or hit Hemwick first and fight her with a +6 repeating pistol which breaks her limbs pretty easily (poor doggo). Also get yourself captured and thrown in Yahar'gul and kill the two wandering nightmares for more upgrade mats if you want. Also past the two hunters to the right of the Cathedral there's a few wandering nightmares - the hunters are easy as fuck if you're experienced with them but can be quite a pain otherwise. You can even farm Yahar'gul/Cathedral Bagmen pretty easily with the right strategy but again this might be wasting time

Anyway BTFO Amelia, make love to Imposter Doctor (who gives you a pretty sweet rune if you kill her), grab summons and hit Cainhurst. You get the evelyn in Cainhurst but it won't be particularly powerful til 22 bloodtinge, whereas repeating pistol is a monster straight away

I'd recc saving at least 10 BMA and like 5 beast pellets for Logarius and if he kills you, just savescum the game each time

So yeah, Cleric (for pistol) -> Gazza -> BSB (imo but optional) -> Witches/Amelia -> Witches/Amelia -> Cainhurst
>>
>>163843284
thank you, this is really good advice. I like to plan what i'm doing beforehand you see.

That's dumb. It is a big jagged, sharp instrument designed to cause bleeding. How does that make less sense to you than a bow that somehow turns bullets into red arrows for blood users?

The watering can that spits fire absolutely rekts Rom on an Arc build. You can take her from full health to dead before she can even teleport once.

>>163843506
I dunno, bloodtinge brings to mind delicacy, speed, not giant smashing fucking everything.

You'd use Flamesprayer? I just nipped into Gaol, got a tonitrus and level 6'd it i was going to use that on her since bolt reks her
>>
>>163843456
I would level vit as the main priority then bloodtinge as your damaging stat

If you start off as noble scion you already have 13 skill which at a low level is reasonable for the saw spear. If you hit Logarius at lets say 40, you can be something like 30 vit, 20 blt or whatever floats your boat. At level 50 that could be 35 vit, 25 blt etc. Also the high blt means you can use the chikage straight away untricked

I wouldn't sweat stamina honestly. BB stamina costs are so low that I think it makes people lazy. The Logarius fight has environmental barriers anyway for his arcane attacks

I always beat every BB boss, including story chalices, at specific levels for autismo reasons, but anywhere between 40-60 for Log would be fine
>>
>>163843506
It has zero relevance to Cainhurst and has more in common with the frenzy crosses wielded by Amelia's bodyguards

Also doesn't the description from some of the Cainhurst gear say they were 'well used' to fighting beasts? and actually considered the corpses and such decadent art?
>>
>>163844345
Alucard comes across as classy until the fighting starts too. That's the entire point of Berserkers. They are relatively normal until the fight starts then they lose their shit.

Ripping yourself up with your own sword, coating it in your own blood, and feeding it your life force to power it up is not classy. It's outright reviled if judging by Maria.

>>163844632
The rapiers were literally weapons they gave to their slaves.
>>
>>163844815
Still, every Cainhurst weapon I see requires refined skills to wield properly. Not the kind of weapons you'd just run in and go crazy with
>>
>>163844345
Queen Yharnam sure hell isn't 'classy and refined', she creates blood explosions, blood swords, blood blasts and blood geysers, Maria drops all pretenses of 'style' an starts throws bloodfire all over the place after she explodes for the second time.

The only other Cainhurst fucker we actually meet who can do anything is Crowsteel and he clearly can't do shit but use his Chikage. I'm of the opinion Cainhurst aint shit and can't do the blood shit by themselves. The Bloodletter's bloodmace is far more impressive as a pure-blood weapon than the the Chicago.

Yharnam is a Pthumerian throwing around blood mastery

Maria's ridiculous blood powers are on par Gehrman's air blasts and shockwaves, possibly the result of something greater. I'm also an oldfag who played the game since release and I consider Maria to be fucking shit. The hunter in the clocktower should've been Caryll, instead we get an anime character :^) but I digress and that's a totally different debate

Crowsteel and Cainhurst NPC hunters will fuck your shit up harder than Yharnam, Maria or Brador ever could. Never mind Crowsteel cosplayers in the FCs

This isn't even a debate. A bunch of item descriptions and other visual elements paints Cainhurst as being refined, opulent, obsessed with appearances, but inwardly very blood drunk, corrupt and brutal. I understand there's a secretive brutality to bloodtinge weapons, but the bloodletter has much more in common with the frenzy crosses wielded by NPC doctors than Cainhurst hunters. It's wielded by a church college dropout wearing a cleric beast's hide (actually tons of lore to Brador's gear but I digress again) and given the frenzy would suit other intoxicating and inhuman looking garments like the crow mask and graveguard mask

Bloodletter is one of my fave weapons but it won't fit the theme of a Cainhurst hunter build without some homemade lore

Blade of Mercy or Burial Blade for a Skill/Arcane build?
BoM are rather enjoyable but the lack of range is somewhat annoying on certain fights. Is there any other skill weapons besides the Whip that really stands out?
>>
>>163852695
Why not both?
>>
>>163852695
Neither. SKL/ARC isn't a thing, and neither the BoM or BB will benefit from any arcane scaling. In fact, you only get ~34 points in ARC by going to 50 for the BB. They are SKL weapons.
>Is there any other skill weapons besides the Whip that really stands out?
Rakuyo, Saif, Saw Spear, Church Pick, Reiterpallasch
>>
>>163852695
They both have shitty Arcane scaling, so I wouldn't recommend Skl/Arc. No weapon scales well with both stats together (besides HMS but it's more of a Str/Arc weapon). If you have only 50 Skill, BoM. If you also have 25 Strength, Burial Blade. Both are good, so I wouldn't see any reason to not use both for a Skill build.
>>
>>163852854
Right okey, silly me I guess for not really looking into how the scaling works before hand. Might give the Reiterpallasch a try.
>>
>>163852695
The arcane doesn't really matter to the BoM and BB. Both weapons are dodge hit and run focused gameplay, but the BoM allow for multiple attacks if you get close, while the BB has low dps but great range and the tricked charged R2 is great for knockdowns. You can use both with the only downside being neither is buffable.

And fun skill weapons for me: BoM, BB, Saif, Reiter and Threaded Cane.

Nothing. Where that anon is getting the Scourge taking your eyes is beyond me. Every fucking beast in the game very obviously has functioning eyes.

Ashen Blood and the Beast Scourge are interchangeable, but technically Ashen Blood is what caused the scourge.

I intended to let Henryk kill her in my current run, but she actually managed to deal with him herself and I couldn't bring myself to attack her after that.
I love the Cane anyway, so I'll just finish her quest line.

You need a BLT weapon until getting the bloodletter.

Bloodtinge is for shitters, but Chikage is for faggots.

does the pizza cutter never deplete its durability? i haven't repaired it once this run (at endgame now) and it hasn't lost a single point. need to know because durability curses in this weapon would be good.

my skill build is 50/20/10/50/10/15

its only 105, should i level skill even higher? Most people seem to stop at 50. Or should i dump more endurance since i'm using blade of mercy? It's quite a spammy dashy weapon so i figure the extra stamina would be useful

I'm running 2x Clockwise, 1x Anti-Clockwise and Hunter if that makes a difference

>>163855079

No need to go higher than 50 in SKL, or any other stat that isn't ARC for hunter tool scaling.
20 END is more than enough in my opinion, but if you really feel the need to have more, go ahead. I'd prioritize bringing STR to 25, though. Maybe dropping 5 points of END as well, or drop ARC, unless you absolutely want the tools.

>>163855448
