So if I want to savescum for gems I assume I just shut off the console as soon as I see I didn't get the gem I wanted from the boss?

Doesn't the game save on item pickups meaning it would save immediately when you the gem?

I, too, have a 50 STR full blunt kirk. You're basically betting that your opponent is stupid enough to walk into it. Want to prove me wrong? There's a FC right now: feel free.

No, you stand near the fog, quit, upload your save to a USB or Online Storage, reload the game and kill the boss. If it's a good drop, move on. If it's bad, quit, reload save from backup and fight the boss again until you get a good gem.

why are ATK UP +19.5% gems preferable to Phys ATK UP +27.2% gems on weapons like the wheel and the Holy Moonlight Sword? That's like a 7% difference and the weapons do mostly phys damage anyway. Is ATK UP calculated differently than the others or something, so it gives more of a benefit in-practice?

ATK up boosts the arcane damage as well.

Wheel in tricked mode gets its arcane base damage tripled, and HMS does sizeable amounts of ARC damage, and beans are all Arcane.

It's easy to work out, Nourishings are miles better on split damage weapons provided you actually leveled both stats.

she delays most of her attacks to some extent, as I'm sure you've noticed.

when she does those powerful charged long-range blood attacks starting at mid-fight, you wait until you notice her starting the move, then you count to 3 seconds in your head and that's when she will attack

It depends on what are you going for.

Tonitrus, Wheel, HMS are the main ones.

Boom Hammer depends, I'm pretty sure if you have 50 Arcane it's better with Nourishings.

BoM, BB and AA are all terrible for arcane, the base damage is pitifully low. It's best to ignore it entirely.
>>
sorry bout that steve, I forgot to blood bullet and was trying to heal and do it
>>
>>165606381
Amy Arm, BoM and BB is shit with Nourishings due to low Arcane base damage and doesn't get buffs. Boomhammer is great with Nourishings if you go 25/50, but if you have 50 Strength Blunts would usually be better unless you're fighting something resistant Physical damage. Tonitrus is best with Nourishings for the buff.
>>
>>165606503
It'd worth it for Tools but Parasite won't get much out of the extra 20 points.

how is the amy arm shit with nourishings? It does 80 base arcane damage and 160 base phys damage. The Holy Moonlight Sword only does 100 base arcane damage; it's just 20 points more damage
>>
>>165607014
Amy Arm doesn't have beams, which add damage to the tricked mode on HMS.
>>
Squishy you just fucked me up. gg
>>
>>165607014
Amy Arm has half the scaling the HMS has. Plus HMS beams do 2.5x listed AR.

Amy Arm's arcane damage just follows its physical damage modifers. It's basically an invisible Amy Arm that does arcane damage and a lot less of it.

At 50 STR, 50 ARC Nourishings *might* be better. But Amy arm is garbage on a 25/50 build.

I haven't played Bloodborne in months, and can't decide what build would be fun to run for a return. I'm thinking bloodtinge or arcane, leaning arcane because I still think BB has the best magic build in terms of sheer fun for any of the Souls games.

What were my weapon options again? I think the starting weapon should be the cane, and then my offhand is the sawspear, and I need the fire and arcane gems from the cathedral ward and the cane in the forest. I think I remember seeing that the beastcutter was a viable alternative to the cane. Not sure if the Holy Moonlight Blade is viable, since I'm not planning on using strength at all.

I forgot a lot, I know there was a handy dandy pic with a guide to Arcane builds on it, but I can't for the life of me find it.

Check the OP for the guide. If you want to use HMS on an Arcane build, go 25/12+/50 Str/Skl/Arc. Base Str/Skl HMS is not recommended.

Oh hey, that's close enough to the pic I was thinking of, thanks. I actually had the one I was thinking of saved, but glanced over it like 15 times like an idiot. I might run an arcane build and a skill/BLT build on the side, because I want to check out Simon's Bowblade maybe.

I don't think I can do the chalice bit for that, though, since I play offline. I dislike paying for multiplayer, fucking Sony ruining the cool thing they had over Microsoft.

>>165611192
Not to get too off-topic from the general, but is Let It Die good? I played it a couple hours, and I'm still a little unsure what I think about it. I liked the first mid-boss gimmick, reminded me of an easier Old Hero from DeS.

I'm not really sure how they're making money on it, unless costs becoming astronomical later, and it's almost a must-have to start using their VIP elevator thing. The skull currency thing seems pretty generously given out in the daily login reward thing.

How is a 40vit/70arc build? I know one of you fuckers is using it.

Also Saw cleaver vs spear which is better for elemental builds? I assume cleaver because higher base damage

>>165613667
Just go 50/10 for Bowblade untricked. If you wanna use both modes effectively, go 50/50 but you'll have to go over 99. If you wanna stick to 99, Lone Survivor 40/11/11/40/40/7 is your best shot, not recommended but I wouldn't recommend 50/25 or 25/50 over this.

It's gud, perfect if you wanna fit a Pure Arc build into 98 without being a meme with less than 20 Vit. Both are fine since Saw Spear has a bit better Arc scaling and serrated in both modes. Most people use the Spear for Arc.

Disregard it until you can get it buffed up with high stats. Until then its pretty annoying. I have it upgraded and it's really for when you need to stunlock something or need high dps against a slow guy.

Also its really fun if you want to go ham in a crowd

Waste of Skin starts with 9 End, and you'll want at least 40 Vit my dude.

Go with that and decide where else to put the points.

something about the setting of this game is so beautiful, and yet deeply unsettling at the same time. idk if anyone gets what Im saying. there was this one time I was in the Cathedral Ward, and the sky was just this beautiful pinkish color. yet the fact that literally everything there wants to kill you makes it terrifying.

At 99 insight you have to fight mergo alongside the wet nurse

>>165618657

Not that much harder, really the biggest impact on difficulty higher Insight has is lower Frenzy resist, which can be a pain against Winter Lanterns and the Mensis brain.
>>
>>165618574
Mostly nothing. The only things that gain moves are those cloaked guys with the canes. It's really just frenzy you have to worry about.

Kind of disappointing really because it only affects gameplay in two areas and hearing music, babies and the lanterns singing.

Things to consider:

I wanna maximize my rally ability, in keeping with the "bounce back" message.

He also claims to "wake up in BEAST MODE" which carries a lot of implications when it comes to Bloodborne. I need them claws & the rune!

Reminder that Demon's Souls takes place betweem Dark Souls universe and Bloodborne universe.

The nightmares were created in the first place because the Old One, the first great one, dreamed them into existence a la Azathoth. By lulling him into sleep at the end of Demon's Souls magic was lost and the dreamlands were allowed to keep existing (this is where the "Nightmares" and "Dreams" got their name from). We also see evidence of the Old One's fog being able to create physical realities out of thoughts in Shrine of Storms.

Then we get to Bloodborne. We see the evience in Father Gascoine, who came fron a foreign land and mentions the "Umbas word, he probably came from Boletaria.

It is here that Chester is somehow pulled into the past into Dark Souls 1.

Aldrich saw all of this coming and could have potentially avoided the age of great ones or age of Deep Sea or become a Great One himself but we kill him in Dark Soul 3.

Who is to blame for the events in Bloodborne? Who is most directly culpable for the death & chaos?

>holy shit that's retard
The two swords look entirely different, work differently and have different backstories.
>that have the exact same face and exact same voice
One of them is a humanoid spider who talks in a sinister and mysterious way while the one from Demon's Souls is a guy who acts friendly.
Many characters also share the same voice actors, even in the same game, such as blacksmith Ed and Birr.
All the various Patches also don't share any experiences, the one from Dark Souls doesn't talk to you about the events in Demon's Souls.
>no
They are.

Yes, you don't use bells to connect with other people.

The guy who is afraid of the old blood?
He seemed to recognize the shit it'd cause.

Sure he may have spearpointed the study of it, but that was out of scholarly curiosity not a hunger for power.

>>165624036
nah, the Great Old One in the Doll, who I'll just call the Doll from now on for brevity's sake, had Hunters going from the beginning, even before the events that lead to Bloodborne. Gehrman was the first hunter, and even from his beginning the Doll was there, trying to get a hunter to consume the 3 fetuses so they could defeat the Moon Presence and become a Great Old One Infant themselves, this doesn't happen until your Hunter does it. If your Hunter doesn't do it, you take Gehrman's place.
>>
>>165624164
I said possibly. Remember the lore note that said the red moon hangs high? Gehrman probably made contact with Oedon and that's what got Old Yharnam burned.
>>
>>165624362
>the Great Old One in the Doll
source
>>
>>165624460
She's the only being in the game with Paleblood. Doesn't call you her child until you become a infant great one. Eyes on the inside. Great Ones can create their own Dreams, which are a reality, the Hunter's Dream is clearly not attached to Gehrman since he can be killed and you can still access the Hunter's Dream, meaning the only other person who could possibly control it is... the Doll.

Paleblood is a concept. It doesn't even exist in the japanese translation.
>Doesn't call you her child until you become a infant great one
She never calls you her child.
>Eyes on the inside
Unintended bug.
>Great Ones can create their own Dreams
And when you kill the Moon Presence in the Hunter's Dream the "Nightmare Slain" message appears.

i'm currently fighting ludwig and this stupid spider fuck.

seriously i enjoy the ludwig fight a million times more, spider is just tedious lmao 10 spoders at once while moonrocks get spammed at you. and then you go poke it twice, oh look aoe, run out then back, it either repeats this after 2 more pokes or then summons more fucking spiders. most the bosses so far have been pretty good either thematically or fight wise, but this spider is just trash.

I might be slightly upset at the spider, as it is not fun or learning, just tedious endurance shitfest that takes too long
>>
>>165630483
You're gonna get it soon. Summoning is such a crutch. Even getting a small distraction to heal or attack with a charge is a luxury you'll never see solo.

I replayed DaS2 recently on PS4 and I was pretty bad. Shit I summoned for was decently tough and it was a whole new learning experience. Elana killed me for a whole day.

If you struggle with modern Rom, you are shit. If it was Launch Rom then that is understandable. Her ice meteors used to be massively homing dildos of anal devestation. Now she is a push over.

Even CD Rom is fairly easy now that we know her face isn't armored like story Rom's.
>>
>>165630834
It's okay. Rom is just a test of patience and attentiveness. The chalice version is just in a more confined space. You can do it man.

Ludwig, on the other hand, is a masters thesis in learning the ins and outs of a moveset. He's a fucking joy to fight because he's always 100% determined to beat your ass and if you let up for a minute he will.

I have faith in you anon, the DLC is worth getting through and finishing chalices is almost necessary if you want to be in FCs. Best of luck mate.

2nd time getting him to second form and nearly beat him, that was fun. he barely gives any time to heal though in 2nd form, just havnt seen much of his moveset in that form. somehow staggered him in that form too and got a juicy riposte. are the ripostes supposed to have your weapon poof and just fucking shove your hand in the enemy and let er rip?

>>165631573
For CD Rom, wipe out all the little spiders. Then buff up with papers, BBP, etc. Then go ham on her. The goal is to push her to her 3rd location by doing enough damage to make her skip her 2nd one, which would leave you at a huge disadvantage.

After that, clear all the little spiders while using the pillar for cover and sticking to the right side (when facing the entrance) of the room. From there, just hide behind the pillar, wait for a break in her spells, run out and smash her face, then go behind the pillar again. Just repeat until she is dead.

It's a bit tedious and time consuming but I have a nearly 100% success rate with it.

Pthumeru Watchers can't drop it.

Nourishing is part of the Isz global loot pool (abeit extremly rarely), Nourishing + Flat Arc gems are the holy grail for VIT gouging Wheel build's.

I don't think Nourishing has ever been found in Prhumeru except for enemies that only drop it (Gargoyles, Rom, Amy). However Fire, Arcane and Murky can drop from Pthumeru Watchers, I've seen them all.

Only way to get radial 23.6% Nourishing is to get an offshape from the already ultra rare Isz droprate. Next stop 32.6% BLT gems!

that happened to me with gascoigne last time. I thought I could kick his ass like normal so I switched to beast claws and beasts embrace and decided to go no-parry; the first time I almost killed him like normal but thought it was too easy and wanted to give it another go to see more about how he fights and the different moves he can do. But those next 6 fights were not easy at all; they were brutal as fuck and I used up like 10 potions every time before he killed me. I eventually switched back to my best gear and *still* lost a couple times. I guess father G decided it was time for him to turn on the skill.

When he is in werewolf form he can really kick your ass, especially if you allow him some space as you try to heal

Not hunting anything in particular, just unique rooms, boss mobs, and bugs if anything. Just spelunking for fun.
>>
>>165635648
Ahh, okay. Why not right? I could always use the echoes.
>>
just tased rom to death with the toni, can I bold hunter mark out of there and muck about before the blood moon without having to refight? and what's blocked after the moon, I already got all 5 survivors (plus the beggar to iosefka), the eileen quest, cleaned out gaol, anything else?

all the fuckers with bags are kill after the blood moon appears and the hypogean gaol lamp doesnt work

Nice, man. What type of FRC do you want? Ihyll, Isz, or Lower Loran?
>>
>>165636171
Any are fine. My next goal (which I'm not hurrying towards) is to make fire and bolt weapons, and they require me to go to all 3.
>>
>>165636161
so besides that and the church guys going bonkers keeping you from getting blood it's safe to proceed? and how about the hunter mark exit?
>>
>>165636310
what church guys keeping you from getting blood?

Alright, let's make it Lower Loran. Maybe you'll get lucky with a Fire/Bolt Abyssal along the way.

Anyone else for fuckbeast?
>>
>>165637967
The transition from Hemwick to Cainhurst is obviously magic fuckery. If you hit the horses they dissipate kinda how Gherman does in the dream if you hit him when non-hostile.
>>
>>165637521
It doesn't lead out of Yharnam from that end, obviously it heads into Cathederal Ward.

But if you go the other direction the Great Bridge is also blocked and it heads into a direction that no in-game area does, this is presumably the entrance to Yharnam.

Have I finnaly done it /bbg/ros? Have I finnaly learned to enjoy the Chalice dungeons? I haven't felt like this since Dark Souls almost 5 years ago. This just made my bloodborne experience 10 times better and longer, I'm fucking happy right now.

that was fun, beat ludwig but i have not even beaten whatever boss is next in the main game past vicar/the witch guarding the rune tool

his first form is easily way harder than the second, only had to fight his 2nd form about 3? times to beat.

I only died a bunch on first because I forced myself to use about 3-4 or less heals each time so I was at a net gain every attempt

I kind of feel like saying fuck the spider in the chalice dungeon for solo and having someone help with that aids. It's just NOT fun compared to ludwig, thats an actual fun rewarding fight.

You can still create FRC dungeons offline.

Basically it's gonna cost you 1,200,000 blood echoes and 68 insight to but the materials necessary for an FRC Pthumerum root chalice, but if you fully explore all the rooms of said chalice you'll find all the ritual blood and tomb mold you'll need for the next root you wanna make. All you'll probably be missing is the sage wrists and hair, and you can farm off those off madmen.

It's definitely doable

18% Droplet and 15% Nourishing Radial in Mergo's. 20.3% Bolt Radials from Lightning Hut fish wizards, Bolt Waning near DLC Rock. Arc gems have it bad when it comes to gems outside of CD's, it's almost required to them for decent gems. Defiled Hotdoggo can be farmed for Fire Radials and Amy for Nourishing Radials.

FRC Isz would probably be the best place to find Arc gems. Ayys can drop decent fire/bolt/arcane gems that go around 20%, but they're Triangles. Loran for Wanings, most beasts drop Fire/Bolt gems. If you get "lucky" you can find Bone Ash Hunters for Fire/Bolt/Arcane Radials, they go up to 23.1%+15 but the droprate is pretty shit.

I've been liking Stardew Valley, but that's not remotely similar to Bloodborne. As for why, it's just chill.
>>
>>165640495
Yeah pretty much. Best you can do is the 18% Arc droplet and 15% Nourishing Radial. Dunno what you could find for the other slot, maybe the Nourishing Radial from Defiled Amy if it's not too bad.
>>
>>165640508
>and no it absolutely can't play the game offline it has to patch

You can just create more FRC chalices and savescum when creating them and fighting their bosses to make sure you always get the ideal gems out of them. Certain enemies and bosses always will drop the same kind of gems in FRCs (in different chalice types). If you find a gargoyle in pthumeru ithyll FRC, you can farm him for 19.3% nourishings. If you find a labyrinth spirit ghost lady, you can farm her for 9% physical + 27% phys on low health gems. If you get amygdala as an end dungeon boss, you can get abyssal nourishings from her. If you get a HBLB, you can get heavy abyssals, and if you find a pthumerian elder, you can get cold abyssals (+65 arc scaling, but the ARC ATK UP gems are much better due to the modifiers on the parasite)

If you get merciless watchers as the first boss (especially in ithyll), they are probably going to drop some nice gems like up to +27% of a damage type. Bone ash hunters in Isz drop some really nice arcane ATK UP gems in triangle shape.

You are pretty fucked if you want to find specific runes or weapon variants though (such as uncanny parasite). Just explore every bonus area and maybe you will get lucky
>>
>>165641171
oops I'm stupid, I forgot the parasite was DLC and you could just buy it at a dungeon bath merchant. I meant the base-game uncanny and lost weapons are hard to find
>>
>>165640495
>>165641171
actually the bone ash hunter in Isz drop radials, even though it's Isz (normally for triangles). If you've got uncanny parasite, their +23.1% ARC ATK UP radials are the best you can get for two of your slots. They are tough to fight if you cannot sneak up on them though, but at least you don't have to savescum since they respawn like normal enemies. Ebriatas as the boss of an Isz FRC drops the best ARC UP triangle gems (with the bone ash hunters close behind). They are arcane abyssals with +24.8% ARC UP. There are no good arcane ATK UP waning gems

If I were you I would make an Isz FRC and be on the lookout for a bone ash hunter and hope Ebriatas is the end boss
>>
>>165640508
It knows it needs to patch because BB was first released on ps4 version that was already patched a few times. So BB disk looks for matching (or newer) firmware, otherwise it can't play.

But that shouldn't be an issue since the disk should contain a firmware update for the Ps4 on it, which will auto install if you try play BB. At least that's how it worked on PSP and PS3, maybe Sony got lazy. You'd think not though, since it's an easy fix to a problem bound to come up fairly often.

Huh, I'm kinda the opposite. I always feel like I should draw/work at all times and I still don't do it for long periods of time. It's maddening.

But anyway, it sounds like you're doing a good job despite the hardships. Fight on
>>
>>165644665
No no, I mean, I've been super focused but between AGDQ and BB my focus has just been completely ripped to shreds. I can't even begin to get myself to do the last 3 hairs I need to do for the first alpha. Maybe I should change it up and code something, I'm experiencing burnout anyways. But that's hardly a topic for bbg.

So shitty servers aside, I'm willing to try some bro-op again. Main game, main chalices, FRC spelunking. Anything's good.

Usually stuff with a bit of Strength scaling already, like Church Pick and Saif. Bowblade, BoM, and Rakuyo have 0 Str scaling so they aren't recommended but still usable.

That does not work in Lower Loran.
>>
>>165647267
It works fine as long as you don't get cornered when he's doing his jump AoE
It requires good dodging, but I suppose if one knew his moves well enough for that they probably wouldn't need poison knives in the first place

Probably nothing. The DLC items are a part of a mandatory update. Without it you cannot go online and you probably will not be able to load that save, but with it I think there should be no trouble whatsoever.

ah, so I guess each pellet does its own damage, and that damage is multiplied by 28.7% and then 7 is added on? Makes sense it would work better with +7 flat damage per pellet, since the base damage is so low that the ~2.5% difference between that and the 31% is negligible in comparison

>>
>>165657265
How much damage can you just do with your weapon? You got some kind of fire-gemmed saw I'm assuming?

He's really not even that hard to hit and not get hit back. He's just got a ton of health. If Gehrman had as much health as Orphan, he would be considered harder than Orphan

250 should be enough. His second phase is not that hard really; IMO it's easier than his first if you do not use viscerals. Most of his moves are highly telegraphed, and you can easily hit him while he is recovering from a swing. He still sucks at turning when attacking for most of his attacks, and he will keep getting exhausted after doing his jumping ground slam attack. Just always let him attack first and dodge so you're near him wherever he lands. He will soon do an attack that launches him away from you anyway.

Also watch out for those attacks where he runs sideways for a second then turns back to hit you

>>165658085
you can hug orphan and not get hit, even when he's doing his flailing attacks. He has trouble turning once he initiates the attack. The guy in this webm could have not been hit at all if he weren't playing so greedy for the sake of the hunter's axe's rally.

in fact I find it is way safer to dodge to the sides (specifically to the right) or forward (to either side of Orphan) than it is to try and dodge backwards away from him. If you try to dodge away after he knocks you down, especially, he will fuck you up - at least in his first form.

>the Doll is a great one

Right, and Eileen is the Wet Nurse.
>>
>>165659973
The Wet Nurse felt more like a fabrication of the Nightmare, a Great One in the sense of guarding a legitimate Great One, Mergo. The Brain of Mensis is technically a Great One (Living String description), but Ebrietas was the evolved form of the Celestial Children in the Choir Loft and Arianna's child, making her a semi-Great One. She likely grew to size in Isz, and was discovered by Prospectors, leading to the taking and studying of her.

>the Doll is a Great One

>>165660138
How can Mergo be a great one if Mergo's mother is Queen Yharnam? At most she'd be only half-Great-One, being the child of Oeden

>>165660262
Possibly something with the "ascension" of the Pthumerians, since they're clearly more than human given their unnatural abilities (or less than human, they all look like meth addicts), but Mergo is probably more of a Great One than the Wet Nurse, possibly even more than Ebrietas.

Spider maidens are really not too bad hard if there's only one and she is only summoning the spiders one at a time.

Not sure what triggers them to do that specific 3-spider summon.

The big Emissary, not the little ones, is the Great One of the bunch, probably an emissary from Isz, since it's there too. The One Reborn is probably the Mensis attempt at becoming a Great One (which didn't really turn out well).

This. It also makes combat and build planning deeper because you have a reason to not always two hand a big weapon or a reason to use the tentacle rape tool.

No, it's not, just hitting them during the animation will stop the heal from going through. Even if they aren't parried the heal is stopped.

>>165662196
Human and human-like enemies in the dungeons could have found them, collected them like we do. Whatever hunters are down there definitely could have had a use for gems.

Someone with more skills than me photoshop the good hunter's face on the thot user pic, then put people, beasts and ayy instead on animals and put the beasts and ayys on the right aide of the line.

Add Djura's face somewhere in there for added keks.

Ebriatas is interfering with humanity. She thinks she is helping mankind, but she is really turning them all into beasts with her blood. The church is actually hers; not Laurence's or Amelia's or anyone else's. She could leave if she wanted, but she voluntarily stays to help her church

Pretty sure Moon Presence wants her dead for this. MP also wants Mergo dead for similarly interfering with the human world, though Mergo would have done a lot more damage a lot faster. MP is really just lookin out for humans; he's not such a bad guy.

If we are using yor silly irrelevant semantics then an FC still counts and invasions because there is always someone invading and "an invader is an invader."

but do chalice dungeons hunters dream or have acces to a workshop ?

what % of hunters used gems and had a REAL chance on the hunt ?
>>
>>165662381
Speaking Snatchers, why they are slaughtered after Rom? Served their purpose? They look butchered, like bu some outside intervention.
>>
>>165662504

Also for Rom is his body in upper cath ward while he projects a dream that is only enter-able through the lake? Is he just hanging with Ebby all day until you kill his mind?

No

>>165662705
They were killed by Bell Summons and Body Werewolves. It's also why those three hunters are holed up inside the church, they have no way to escape.
>>
>>165662649
The difference is in a FC, there are preset rules that both parties agreed to by participating. It is like the difference between a street fight and an MMA match.
>>
>>165662693
Well, that one hunter in the Nightmare Frontier with the Axe has bolt gems. Also considering that the Chalice Hunters respawn suggests that they are sustained by the Dream, or other such source, possibly from the forces lying in the Dungeons (we never do see the Old Lords). Otherwise, given the time they've spent on their hunts, they might have found a way to infuse gems without the need for a full-on workshop, just the tool.
>>165662836
It's made out of the bodies the Snatchers take, the Mensis corpses are essentially mummies. They've been there for quite some time.
>>165662881
I always thought those three were the ones who killed the Snatchers, but this makes sense enough.
>>
hey dris why did you deleted you lattest video ? it was good shit

>>165662337
Right, good point.

>>165662504
Something people seem to forget when calling Great Ones sympathetic is that it says the ones who "inhabit the nighmare" are sympathetic, with no mention of otherwise. I'm about to go out on a limb and apply some D&D cosmology to the bloodborne universe.

In a standard D&D world, there are three sets of planes: the elemental planes (earth, water, etc), the alignment planes (good, evil, law, chaos and the mixes) and specific planes for each diety. Additionally there are the demiplanes, which get more wild with the themes (everything from painful torment to ranch dressing) and weaving it all together is the astral plane, which serves as the gateway between them. IMO the Nightmare Frontier serves as the astral plane of bloodborne while the dreams and nightmares are demiplanes created by a great one and tailored for a specific human, such as Gehrman and Micolash, thus sympathetic, at least to that individual.
>>
>>165662740
No, that's the real Rom you kill on the lake. Maybe Ebriatas is mourning him, or working on resurrecting him (like you can with Queen Annalise if you bring her flesh to that same altar)

Or maybe it's just an altar to another vacuous spider great one, like they are a race
>>
Please let me co-op with someone here so I don't have to play through Iron Keep, DaS2 was a fucking mistake.
>>
>>165663243
I think you're in the wrong general.
>>
>>165663193
All lore points aside, I still want to be able to resurrect bosses with the altar.
>>
>>165663306
I want to play Bloodborne with people who need co-op to get away from this shit game I bought by mistake.
>>
>>165663123
Given that Chalice Dungeons are supposed to be in the Waking World I believe everything is, in some way or another, a layer of the Walking World/Dream/Nightmare.
>>
>>165663193
they might be a race, there are rom-sipiders in the chalices, and also mini-ebys

>what % of hunters used gems and had a REAL chance on the hunt ?

Blood games is a Hunter's Dream specialty, meaning most real life hunters didn't stand a chance unless they were part of the dream.

To put it in perspective, you as a hunter of the dream have an advantage of:

>channeling others blood to give yourself superhuman strength (str and skl), superhuman agility (end), superhuman resilience and your blood lireally can hurt things (vit and end). Plus the fact that for all intents and purposes, you know the art of quickening since the beggining (i-frames).
>you can fortify your weapons with blood gems to make them twice as powerful

All of this is only avaliable to a hunter of the dream, except maybe for the blood gems since you find that in real world yharnam, (which lead me to believe whiever was living under cathedral ward used to be a hunter if the dream who stile the tool) and quickening, since it can be learned but the art was "lost to time."

You can see Mensis and the ship masts of the Fishing Hamlet in the Frontier. They're connected.
>>
>>165663467
Arianna. This is why she gives birth after killing Micolash. As for other Great Ones, it's more their presence is now known like the Amygdalas now being visible and access to locations of Great Ones in the waking world.

But all the nightmare areas are on the same plane of existence and relatively close to each other
>>
>>165663414
There are 3 workshops we see in-game: the Dream, Old Church and Old Hunter workshops. Hunters themselves are split into two groups: Church hunters and Gehrman's hunters. Gehrman ran his band from the old hunter's workshop until he was taken to the dream and his shop fell into ruin. Ludwig ran the Church Hunters, which consisted of the "ordained" hunters and the normies he would round up for random hunts. So we have three sets of hunters: dream hunters, church hunters with workshop access and randos who probabl spend a lot of time dying.
>>
>>165663467
I see it as any Great One coming down and whispering to some vaginas.
Don't forget that the last Blood Moon before the one we see was probably what caused the burning of Old Yharnam and that the Queen had Mergo since a while ago since Mensis was able to beckon it. Old Yharnam and the Mensis ritual may have some connection.

>>165663331
This they missed an opportunity here to give you something like "x boss flesh" that you can bring to the altar to revive them like bonfire ascetics.

hey thats pretty cool

the one that stole that tool also knew about the rituals ( there is anote on the table) could it had been lawrence's studio ?
>>
>>165663686
As I said, the astral plane serves as the links between planes. Honestly at this point I'm breaking into n-th dimensional theory that I'm going to have a hard time articulating, much less it actually being correct. So let's just leave my reply as "exactly".

phuthumeru was the first to suffer the consequences of contact with the ayys no ? maybye they are the 1srt cycle

>>165663823
The thing is we don't know if the blood gem tool was created along with the dream or made by Gherman before the dream existed. Are there any item descriptions from the story blood gems you get that talk about blod gems as a usual workshop tool?

>>165663980
>lawrence

Could be. Some people thought it was Fake Isoefka's and she ran off as soon as she heard you coming. We know whoever lives there had something to do with Byrgenwerth/Rom/Wilem.

>people trying to draw lore continuity between DS3 and BB because they don't want to accept that DS3 was just developed on the cheap with BB's leftovers

>>165664410
Nothing solid, but it makes sense to me that if blood gems form after death like coldblood and blood stone that somebody would have started studying them after the first outbreak.
>>
>>165663550
I got it for fucking free and still feel I wasted money. It was fine up until Iron Keep and Shaded Woods. Chariot was shit but manageable, but Iron Keep's knights are fucking Red Spider tier since they aggro from across the fucking map and Shaded Woods has literal invisible enemies and more cheap ambushes than anywhere else so far.

I was burnt out on Bloodborne, but fucking hell playing this mess is really rekindling that fire huehuehue. Wouldn't be so bad if I could just co-op through some areas, but I have seen a grand total of three actual human summon signs so far and have been invaded by humans twice. No one plays it.

Anyone calling Bloodborne dead is deluded, it's way more alive than DaS2.

>>165666083
Do you have basic DS2 or SotFS?
