>>167012164
It's pretty fun to rely on tools and have a variety of long range attacks. It was easier than I expected because usualy you don't have to get close to do damage but some parts of the game were brutal. If you learn spacing and timing you'll destroy anything lower than bosses before it gets close.

I did a chunk of it at that level by sprinting past everything. I think my arcane build might be low enough to help you out. Fair warning it's kind of mediocre. (My build, not the area.)

How do you guys deal with Chalice Rom? I've beaten it before but now I keep getting hit by those spiders even though I keep moving. I've been ignoring the spiders for now
>>
>>167015791
i delt with him by killing the spiders first
>>
>>167015791
I did earlier by clearing the first wave of spiders before aggroing Rom proper, then focusing solely on her. Using a fast qweapon like Saif helps tremendously.

Rom seems to take more and more damage after each teleportation or something, because the latter half of the fight always seems way shorter than the first.
>>
>>167016047

I thought of doing that too, got to give it a try. The moonlight blade is a bit slow here, last run I used the cleaver

Thanks

Anyone wanna do Rom with me? I'm 71, so I don't *need* help, I just have more fun doing the bosses with other people.

Nope, not worth it. Only recommended to go past 50 if you're an ARC build, as Hunter Tools scale past 50.

Is the Bowblade a viable ranged option at 10blt? I'm finally getting around to a skill build and I was planning on going 50sk/25blt for the Bowblade with Rakuyo/BoM as backups but everybody makes the Burial Blade and Church Pick sound so fucking great.

I fell in love with the Bowblade on my pure tinge build but I hated having to swap weapons and then trick into bow mode. That plus having to re-trick my Bloodletter every time.

>>167017676
I wouldn't think the thing's overly "viable" even at 25BLT, much less 10. Can you even use the damn thing with 10?

Having to swap to it and trick it is a complete triviality, especially considering it's great transform attack into bow mode.

In all seriousness it's really very good.

The worst thing about it is that there isn't more of it.

>>167013337
A lot of shit in Bloodborne can be left up into interpretation, the whole Paleblood thing being the biggest one. The general timeline of events is like this:

>Byrgenwerth, a place of learning, of indeterminate size, discovers the Pthumerian Labyrinth under the city, and encounter the Eldritch Truth, i.e., the old blood, insight, the Nightmare dimension, great ones, beasts, etc.
>during their early day experimentation, they massacre the Fishing Hamlet and desecrate Kos' corpse, cursing the Hunters, probably creates the rifts that has Laurence break off from Byrgenwerth and start the church, believing blood is the way to evolve mankind
>the Healing Church becomes a major theocratic organization, ruling the city of Yharnam
>at some point, 'Laurence and his associates' beckoned the Moon Presence, a Great One, what they got out of this we don't know, maybe blood, maybe insight, but it destroyed Old Yharnam
>experimenting with blood for possibly several hundred years, so much so that hunters and nights of the hunt become thoroughly normal to the citizens
>the church also has the Choir and School of Mensis as their higher ups, experimenting with even more horrible nonsense
>Mensis are now working on beckoning the moon again, and you turn up and are manipulated into stopping it via the inscrutable motives of the Moon Presence, or end up stopping it by mistake, we don't rightly know

The Moon Presence 99% likely has something to do with the plague, since the moon exacerbates the problem into an apocalypse-tier event. But why? We don't know. Could be simple alien influence being incompatible with us mere humans.
>>
>>167019534
You're welcome anon. As we say in /rlg/, "evoke feet"
>>
>>167019585
>it destroyed Old Yharnam
The Dream already existed before the burning of Old Yharnam, it existed by the early stages of the Church given that Maria was somehow in charge of the Celestial Ayys experiment. Maybe that happened when Mensis beckoned Mergo by the first time and were sucked by the Nightmare. The ritual we see now would be the second attempt.

What now?
>>
>>167020051
Yeah, that should be before the rise of the Church, oops. Old Yharnam falling was earlier days.

However, Maria was an Old Hunter, and they were Byrgenwerth, present at the massacre of the Hamlet. She resides in the Nightmare, looking after the patients.

Mensis are a later splinter group of the Church, they only beckoned Mergo once, and when they did, it resulted in the 'stillbirth of their brains' and became mummies, with Memelord now running around the Nightmare of Mensis running the end of the ritual.

If you have that many echoes, you definitely don't need them.

>>167025659
It's happened before. In one Loran dungeon, might have been a base dungeon, spiders would follow you all the way to the boss room, and the post-lever side door had a Scourge Beast guarding the ladder. Any NPC summons there usually died on the way over from the stream of enemies.

>how well does it work in a pure SKL build?
Works very well. It's not really a BLT weapon, and works best with full investment in SKL.
>is it worth putting Bloodtinge gems into it?
Nope. Keep it to temperings, unless you plan to use only the shots.
>is it true that bullet damage scales off of SKL?
Bullets are pure BLT but are still affected by PHYS UP gems like standard 27.2%s.
>What makes it different from the Rifle Spear?

-Shit's fast. Crazy fast.
-Transformed version is just continuous back and forth horizontal swipes. Very easy to stunlock most enemies and if you have reasonable endurance you can kill most isolated enemies very easily.
-Bloodtinge gems are not worth it since physical atk includes blood attack as well.
-I don't know if bullet damage scales off of SKL but the bloodtinge scaling is better than every gun save Evelyn so it does comparable damage.
-It's shorter range but faster than the rifle spear.

I used it as my main weapon but I was doing skl/blt as a build from the start.

The bloodtinge scaling is actually shit, same as Cannon's and Gat's. It's just the fact that you could increase the bullet damage with 3 gems and has decent base damage is what makes it better than most guns without BMA.

Bloodtinge gems work best, but they affect bullets and bullets alone for the Reiter. It's better for you as a SKL build to use tempering gems, as you'll actually be able to pull some use from the non-bullet attacks, as well as benefit the bullet attacks anyways.
>What the fuck is the point of Bloodtinge gems then?

Alright bbg, here's a thing.

There's this huge emphasis on minmax, getting your build low enough with BL while getting the most out of a stat, etc. But what about true jack of all trade builds while maintaining a level that isn't hilariously overleveled for normal content?

https://www.mugenmonkey.com/bloodborne/21956

This is my attempt, though I'm definitely going to continue changing it for a more stable final version.

In order of importance: vitality -> str/skil/arc -> bt -> end

>>167035115
Getting this triggered over one thing in a post. Do you have issues of insecurity or something?

Also yes, that's the point of a jack of all trades build. Look the definition up.
>>
>>167034871
>true jack of all trade builds
Because of how important scaling is to damage, it's basically impossible. What you'd wind up with a build that couldn't do anything well, and would still be too squishy for your lack-luster damage to be worth it.

While you can use elemental conversion to marry Str and Skl, you're never going to get functional, viable Arc and Blt on the same build without being grotesquely overlevelled or a glass cannon.
>>
>>167035218
I'd probably sacrifice BT (because shitty/boring/edgy weapons) and give the rest a boost. I might go to 100+ but nothing over 140+ because what's the point.
>>
>>167035276
That's not a jack of all trades, that's a shit in all categories.
50/25 str/skl is a good jack build since you can use almost every weapon in the game with plenty of damage if you just farm up some heavy abyssal's.
>>
>>167035389
Just go 50/25 Str/Skl and use whatever is usable with Heavy Abyssals. Chikage, Bloodletter and Kos Parasite would really be the only weapons you can't use effectively. Untricked Letter should be usable but that's points into Blt for a weapon with a shitty moveset.
>>
>>167035427
The problem for me is I'd like to use some hunter tools including the damage ones to some degree of success. Primarily arcane would work but some weapons just lose too much just to be able to be used (church pick losing thrust, etc).

I need to establish a good level range first... 90~ definitely isn't workable but 140 seems too high.
>>
>>167035663
You could use untricked chikage too with a heavy abyssal, but the untricked mode is also shit. Basically Kos Parasite is the only thing off the table and you would do absolute shit damage with only 25 arc anyway.
>>
>>167035762
Church Pick is great for Arc, Cold Abyssals make any converted weapon good. Even if you lose the Thrust you'll still have it's bonuses and moveset, Thrust is only useful for Phys builds.
>>
>>167035762
Change to mil vet, bump str up to 50 for dem heavy abyssal's, bring bt to 16 so you can wield the weapons (either go to 50bt or just go to lowest required bt, anything inbetween is pointless), bump vit up to 44. Total level will be in the 120 meta

It's not perfect but it's better than whatever the fuck you were doing.
>>
>>167035948
what did he mean by this
>>
>>167035947
You make a good point, yeah. I suppose I'll just keep up with an arcane character and farm all those gems instead.

The city was named after her due to Yharnam being cobstructed on top of the underground Pthumeru catacombs. Both Pthumeru and Loran chalices were constructed before Byrgenwerth was even a thing.

>>167038190
There is some weird time fuckery going on with the chalice dungeons. The nearest I can tell is that the story chalices you explore are a replaying of events that previously occurred in them. That's why Ebrietas, Rom, and company are alive in them even though you have to kill Ebrietas specifically to get the chalice she is inside of. The Yharnam that you fight in Pthumeru Iyhll is at the time heavily pregnant with Mergo, so when you kill her there, yes you probably also killed Mergo's physical form. However, like the Orphan, Mergo's consciousness lived on in a Nightmare, which became its cradle, while Yharnam's followed after it because it's stuck in a horrific stillborn state where it is semi-immortal, but cannot grow out of being a baby and she still cares about her child or some shit.

Despite it being one of the choice weapons of shitters, can I use the LHB in good conscience if I'm not planning on doing PvP, just co-op? The only reason I want it is for a Scholar build, something along the lines of Edgar or Damian. If there's something better that would suit it, if there's a way to turn a Church Pick to this kind of build, I'd gladly take it. Probably minimum stat requirements to use weapons, take the Vit and End as needed, and dump the rest into Arc, if that would work

>Wait, isn't the whole nightmare and scourge caused by the School of Mensis and the Church inducing the birth of Mergo, hoping to create a Great One to trigger their ascension?

Nah, the whole nightmare deal first started when the curse of Kos was laid upon Yharnam (the city) and its hunters.

The whole scourge deal has been going on since Loran (before Byrgenwerth and posibbly Pthumeru existed). It's just the human body reaction when one has consumed Old Blood and the red moon comes down so Moon Prescence is partially to be blamed for that. That last part is kind of my headcannon/speculation, as people transform into beastts even when there is no red moon, but one of the lore notes suggests is the red Moon that turns people into beasts
>>
>>167039202
Basically, the whole plot is divided into three different things. The blood moon/nightmare ritual that Mensis is doing isn't actually related to the Scourge of Beasts, it's the School's own attempt to ascend. Meanwhile, the Choir is also trying to preform the whole ascension thing through different means by turning people into Celestial Emissaries. The Scourge of Beasts itself is a side effect of the distribution of Old Blood by the Healing Church as a whole to be used as a method of healing, which could have come from a number of different sources, the primary suspects being either Queen Yharnam herself, Ebrietas, or other old pthumerian shit Laurence found in the chalice dungeons.

The game takes place in the closest plane of reality as we understand it.

But yharnam is falling under the moon presences control.

Really pay attention to yharnam itself, its layout is nonsensical and many things are random and haphazard. (graveyards in front of homes?, crows that bark like dogs?, the more you pay attention to shit like this the more you notice)

"Dreams" are just how they are described. Nightmares are not nightmares, and the hunters dream is not a dream. All are planes of existence that exist equally.

Yharnam is likely the "real" world, but as the MP's presence grows it becomes more and more nightmarish, yahargul in front of the one reborn is reminiscint of this.
>>
>>167040262
but fuckboy, that was the meme

Nah, Lost is always for Fire/Bolt and Radial, Radial, Triangle is for Arc, which the Uncanny version of LHB has.

>>
>>167039927
Well, the constables chased a beast back to Yharnam, so presumably there is the occasional beast escaping the city limits and going on a rampage through the surrounding countryside, but since Yharnam is so remote and isolationist, actual encounters with them are probably quite low. As well, since the Scourge of Beasts is being directly caused by blood ministration, which only certain people in Yharnam know how to do, it's most likely a problem localized solely to the city and it's outskirts.

As for the Mensis ritual, you're welcome to think that the entire world went mad when the blood moon descended, but since that seems kind of stupid, I will go with the assumption that those shenanigans also were localized to Yharnam, with maybe far away nations seeing the blood moon appear in sky but not being affected by it at all
>>
>>167040274
>>167040274
Not him, but you're dumb. All the grave shit is From overdoing their spooky factor and the crowds are just a result of the scourge, just as the giant humans.

Yes, dreams are real places. But they're all in their own different dimension, and yharnam is over on Earth on the real world. They're not overlapping each other, this is not Silent Hill.

That's just regular Souls games world creation. You don't expect a videogame level design to be logical as living place for people.

Next you're gonna tell me Dark Souls 2's world is so incoherent because the Bearer of the Curse is forgetting the world's geography due to the undead curse.

Ok, you lost me here. You clearly haven't looked that deep into the game's lore if you don't understand why they're there.

They're bot statues, they were real people who got mummified after the red moon/mensis ritual/whatever created the one reborn moved into motion. Those who didn't get plastered into the walls where sucked in to create the One Reborn, that's why they look like there trying to climb on top of each other to get away from whatever was mummifying them

From the description of the Gatling Gun, Djura had three companions. One was in Old Yharnam with him, and the other had the Gatling Gun in the Hunter's Nightmare. Where was the third?
He could have left Old Yharnam, died there (his body is the one where we get the Charred Hunter set), turned into a beast, or gotten somewhere else.
The Old Yharnam trip starts the Chalice line, eventually leading us to Loran. In Loran, there's a unique enemy hunter in the Charred Hunter set with the Beast Claw. He's later summoned as Beastclaw Jozef, wearing exactly the same garb as the other two confirmed to be Djura's companions, the Charred Hunter with the Black Hood. Could he have been the third and gotten into the dungeons through the Chalice of Pthumeru? Or should this go down as the newest headcanon installment?

At the same time, an even more absurd theory of mine is that Henriett's corpse is where we find the second Hunter (Top Hat, no cape) set. Most of the summons are dead or presumably dead (Henryk, Yamamura, Vitus, the Tomb Prospectors, just to name a few), so death doesn't seem to be an issue. She wears the set we find on that corpse. Also, it's where we get to the DLC, and she can be summoned for the Ludwig fight.
Then again, Madaras and Valtr are the same, and they're both alive if they're summoned.

50/50/50 with Nourishings or Charge Atk Up gems since they go higher than Blunts. Poorman's if you're a madman. If you're trying to stay within meta I'd go 50/25 Str/Arc and test it out, 50/50 with 41 Vit at 120 if you start with Cruel Fate.

Not at all, it's very popular. I want to recommend going for at least 15 arc though... The hunter utility items really synergize with the weapon perfectly.

If beast roar was 1 bullet cost, I would be using it near constantly.

Putting a fire/bolt gem in a pure physical damage weapon (which is what beast cutter is) will convert ALL damage to that type, which will then scale off of the arcane scaling on that weapon. Don't do that, yes.

Ok, then what does the finger on the non-living version of the doll (which is a different physical object all together, mind you) mean? The fact that you gotta look at it with the monocular and wait for a minute and that the movement is barely noticeable tells me it wasn't intended to be there.

Some of you people think that the developers are gonna put so much detail on a single part of the game that no one will look at. If that was the case, there wouldn't be about 10 different places in the game where buildings/the floor straight up disappear and you can see the sky box extending below.

The only issue is that its kind of boring and weak when it comes to durability. The Boom Hammer would be in the same ball park if it weren't for its AoE's.
>>
>>167049728
The specific meaning is less important than the intentionality of it. If I was gonna lorefag I'd say it has to do with the fact that the doll is the one who is caring for you in the dream after you beat moon presence, so she clearly has some sort of vested interest in the continuation of that species. Combine this with the fact that if you attack her her blood is a similar color to Ebrietas and Moon Presence and it seems to indicate that there is or was some version of the doll - either in Yharnam or a dream - that is related to the Great Ones.

The reason why I tend to see these sorts of subtle things as intentional rather than random glitches is because there are some pieces of From games that clearly are intentional that are just as subtle. Things like Ornstein's hand starting to move just before Smough's hammer hits him cluing the player into Smough's jealousy, or the poison in VoD flowing directly from Astraea even though she denies culpability. There are small, clearly intentional things in these game with significant implications. Regarding this specifically, there are lots of ways that Havok can create weirdnesses in models, but a single finger twitching in the same way, consistently, for all players, isn't really one of them. If it was a glitch created by Havok it would be less likely to be consistent, it would probably be very rapid twitching when it did happen, and it probably wouldn't happen to the same finger every time. Havok can be weird, but it is rarely weird in predictable ways.

I actually am not a fan of the beast cutter I mean it's a good weapon but I like the threaded cane better.
>>
>>167050791
It honestly depends on what the fuck she even is. Did the Moon Presence somehow manage to insert some of Maria's soul into the Doll? Did Gerhman?
The Doll is the biggest mystery in the game next to some of the Great Ones, especially Rom.
>>
>>167050850
I do too, threaded cane is faster, does more damage, less stamina cost and it's serrated.

It lacks the stun, especially R1, but it's recovery is fast and you're usually at a safe distance. R2 stuns pretty well though, I could usually stunlock baggers at very low levels in hypogean gaol with it.

It's also one of the most classy weapons, just wish the character actually held it like a cane.
>>
>>167050821
I just love the fact that someone managed to kill one of them, and then decided that its arm could be a good weapon.

We don't know, the plain doll is probably one of the biggest mysteries in the game right now.
>>
>>167050535
>Things like Ornstein's hand starting to move just before Smough's hammer hits him cluing the player into Smough's jealousy,

But that's wrong. He smashed him because he knew he was an illusion. DaS3 confirms only Smough was real.
>>
>>167051240
Oh fuck I forgot about that just like every other thing about DS3's lore
But I can just then change my example to reflect that. Why does Smough just get a lightning hammer but Ornstein grows to be fuckhuge? Why does Smough smash Ornz? Because Ornz is an illusion and Smough knows. It wasn't confirmed in that game, but those things lead the player to that conclusion. Same situation, not as subtle but still not immediately obvious, doesn't change the fact that I tend to lean toward subtleties like the finger being intentional.
>>
Fuck the Brain Suckers. Why they didn't design it so you can get you're insight back, I will never know.
>>
>>167050821
Amy Arm is fine, and while the untricked moveset can be boring, it's quick as hell once you get going, and fully charging the R2 to bait someone into getting hit by the follow up is some of the most laughable fun I've had in PvP. Tricked is slower, but it makes up for it with the stagger it has, and the versatility of choice on the strong attack is also pretty great.
>>
I don't think I quite understand damage types/blood gem effects yet. What's better, a gem that gives flat damage increase, or one that gives specific increases (eg thrust)?

Yeah I mainly do this as a way of actually justifying my conclusions to myself rather than blindly saying that it must be intentional because hurr durr based Miyazaki knows all. I recognize that it could be a glitch, I just think it fits in well enough with the other stuff about the doll that I think it was intentional.

Honestly, I think that the doll's finger twitching was intentional, but only for the doll in the dream.The fact the doll twitches in the real workshop is just because they had the model already, copy-pasted it, and called it a day.

>>167052041
For me it's less a problem of them choosing to answer questions from DS1 than it is an issue of answering the wrong questions. The coolest shit about Dark Souls for me was wondering what the other places like Vinheim and Thorolund would be like if they collapsed in a manner similar to Lordran, and what happened to the rest of the gods like Velka and real Gwynevere. Dark Souls 3 just said fuck it to every interesting question and instead just stroked fan dick. "Ooo here's a story about Ornstein going to find Gwyn's firstborn." "Hey I'll bet they'd love it if they found out a boss from the first game got eaten by a boss from this game!" "Oh oh I know, let's make it so that the last of the demons are underneath Carthus for no discernable fucking reason, and there are still black knights down there too because in Dark Souls 1 we said that Black Knights fight demons!"

To be honest I always found it weird that people wanted places like Astora, or Thorolund or what not explored. Yes, they are mentioned in a few places here and there, but to me they are just throaway names to assign to an item when they need to say it came from another land. Like, I don't think Thorulund, or Vinheilm have anough lore behind them to justify/build an entire DLC/area around them.
>>
>>167052539
Fuck you.
>>
>>167052586
My thinking was that these are places that are implied to be large enough to support their own stories. It's more an issue of scale than the specific places seeming cool. It just felt like a waste to introduce these areas, give us characters from these areas, tell us that the undead curse had started spreading to these areas, then completely abandon them and go with some completely different fucking place because time is convoluted or some shit.

>>167052427
The main issue in my opinion is that they didn't develop the lore of the actual places you are in at all, combined with them using the whole "world is all slurrying together" excuse to through level and world coherency out the window. Like, what the fuck is Farron? Why is Carthus even connected to any of this shit? What is the Profaned Capital and this Profaned Flame? Then, Irithyll and Lothric barely get any development at all, you just hack your way through with nothing really sticking out at all. DS1 had the depth of a lake, but the width of a pond. DS3 meanwhile has the width of a lake, but the depth of a puddle.

>>
>>167053235
Exactly! Lothric in general is just full of wasted potential, where the developers had ideas, but never went into any more detail with them. I think another thing that contributes to its failings is that it goes way too hard on being post-apocalyptic. DS1 and Bloodborne both start off with their settings in pretty dire straits, but they only start progressing to full on armaggedon levels either during the ending (DS1) or late into the game (BB). Throughout both, there is still a glimmer of hope that things might turn out right in the end alongside characters that you want to see make it out, which is really what you need a dark story to have in order to get an audience invested in it at all. DS3 ends up lacking in both of these because it beats you over the head with the idea that:

1) the end of the world is inevitable

2) most of the rest of the world is already fucked, unlike in DS1 where the world outside of Lordran is still hanging on.

3)The apocalypse has already nearly come to pass time after time after time.

Which in total just makes me go, "Well, why should I care this time around?" If the entire universe is already completely, irreversibly screwed to the point of there being nothing left to save, what's the point?

God damn is DS3 bullshit.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Independent studios like FROM have to do work that keeps the lights on.

The cursed that come from the hamelet that you can farm. I can see though that this isn't going to be easy.
>>
>>167057245
The cursed droplets Winter Lanterns drop? Those are only for Phys builds, they'll do nothing for converted weapons. Better to stick to the fish wizards for Bolt gems, there aren't really any good Arcane gems in the main game besides the 18% Arc droplet in Mergo's.

So, is there a general rule of thumb when it comes to gem imprint patterns? I've read that for phys and arc it's the same radial/radial/triangle.
But apparently that was only for converted arc? For HMLS I need radial/waning/triangle, because it needs nourishings from Amy.
Does the previous still apply to physical/converted weapons, it's just that the weapons with innate split damage are an exception?
Or should I just check the best possible gems for every weapon in particular and do the math myself to find the best gem imprint pattern?

Where's the earliest i can get a uncanny wheel without access to glyphs. is there a chalice bath shop that sells them?
>>
>>167058271
>is there a chalice bath shop that sells them?
No, those are for the DLC weapons only.
>without access to glyphs
You'll just have to do it the intended way - create your own root chalice dungeons and explore them thoroughly.
>>
>>167058179
Both Normal and Lost should be very similar, they get the same AR if every Radial was a Rom Radial paired with Amy Abyssals and everything but the Waning has +15 Phys/Arc.
>>
>>167058336
well that's fucking annoying. which dungeons can it spawn in?
>>
>>167058179

If you're going physical you want Radial/Radial/Triangle. If you're going arcane/elemental or nourishing you want R/T/Crescent. If you're using Chikage as a pure bloodtinge weapon (really the only way to use it) you want the version with a circle slot.

This is because certain shapes get the best kinds of certain types of gem effects, which I can explain more if you want but above is all you really need to know.
>>
>>167058401
Dunno, any I guess. Although I found a lost or uncanny Claws in a Loran FRC. So maybe at least that one weapon can only be found in Loran specifically.
>>
>>167058401
Check the OP
>>
>>167058401
Depth 4 Pthumeru root dungeons

After beating Defiled Hotdog you'll get the Root Chalice, I'd backup your save on a USB now, then make a dungeon. Explore it entirely, if you don't get anything good restore your savefile and try again (this saves materials). If you do get something you want to keep, but not a Wheel, you'll need to make another dungeon. Farming materials might be a pain, in NG+ you can buy them. Don't bother with Additional rites if you are looking for weapons/runes.

i love that this was made hours before Christmas, but it's honestly laughably bad. Which is why it can never be forgotten.
>>
After focusing on getting my BLT and Cauliflower characters pretty much ideal gem setup and playing the fuck out of them, I'm ready to make another character but want to have enough flexibility to switch weapons later on the same character if I feel like it.

If I do a STR build can I get more or less the most out of whirligig/amygdala arm/wheel? After looking at the numbers it seems like Arc wheel might be better at higher BL, not sure about bl98 arc wheel build numbers.

Also has anyone had much success making the stake driver workable?
>>
>>167062052
>Also has anyone had much success making the stake driver workable?
Hold R2 and pray the enemy will walk into your attack.
>>
>>167062052

with a strength build you could do beast claws too, though i dont recommend
>>
>>167062052
This will let you use every thing.

You could also go 50/25 str/skl for decent damage and a lot of variety.
>>
>>167062052
50/25 Str/Skl is all you need for those weapons, 10 Arc for Wheel. Blunt gems for the untricked Wheel is great, any Wheel build can use Flat Arc gems for the tricked multi-hits. Don't level Arc for Amy Arm. As for Stake, the same build is good for a Phys setup since it's a Str-leaning Quality weapon. Most of your weapons will need a Heavy and 2 27.2% gems or full Blunt.
>>
>>167062052
50/25 is the optimal setup for a whole heap of weapons, and with Heavy Abyysals you can be *nearly* max potential with SKL focused weapons as well. The only things you won't be able to use are BLT weapons and Kos Parasite,

STR wheel is useable, but it's not the best way to utilise the weapon's full moveset. But any build can use Flat Arc gems or Poison memes effectively. Someone from here has a wheel setup that poisons in 1-2 dash r1's.

Stake Driver is definetly good for PVE. But it's viability in PVP depends on your opponents stupidity.
>>
>>167062405
>>167062443
>>167062529

Thanks guys. Looking forward to getting back into this game.

Probably gonna focus on Amy Arm because I like the look of the tricked attacks, but it's nice to know that I have some variety if I want.
>>
>>167062052

>falling for the STR meme

SKL is most skillful build and requires the most skill.
>>
>>167063138
Str is best for PvE, and Skl is the best for PvP.

What's the most fun Skl weapon? I've always wanted to try a serious Burial Blade or BoM build but never knew how to best minmax it. 50skl/25atr? 50skl/25arc? The wiki numbers are confusing
>>
>>167064014
Honestly, any of the DLC Skl weapon are the most fun. I would say, Max out the Rakuyo, Saif, and Church Pick.

How much would I be downscaled if I were only one or two levels outside of the host's range?

iirc you get more out of burial blade with secondary points in str rather than arcane but maybe im wrong

You're right. 25/50 STR/SKL is great for the BB

>>167063667
Beating Paarl also gets you shake off dust gesture.
>>
how many of you have to call for help beating bosses? I've had to do it for BSB (even though I beat him solo after running low on insight), shadows and now it looks like I'll have to do it for Logarius.
>>
>>167067590
well, not beating him, but going to djura after visiting paarl once and going from church of the good chalice or beating paarl and going from there
>>
>>167068227
0 on my first run because I didn't have PS+.

I've beaten every boss many times solo now, at various levels and builds. Nowadays I summon people from bbg to help me through tedious and annoying fights. Like Undead Giant, Chalice Rom, Headless Bloodletting Beast, Loran Darkbeast and Laurence.

I always do the fun bosses (Ludwig, Maria, Orphan, Logarious, Gasgoine etc...) by myself because it's the most fun. Also anyone who summons for the final boss, even on second playthroughs, is a heathen. I didn't even know you could until recently, and it should never be done.
>>
>>167068234
Well, maybe. But there's even less sense "visiting" Paarl if you don't kill him.
>>
>>167068438
>because I didn't have PS+.
But you could have still summoned the NPCs for all we know.
>>
>>167068548

>>
>>167068227
Only online summon I did was for lower loran abhorrent beast, trying to get uncanny BB. Did the one or other NPC summon in my first playthrough, but I never summoned NPCs again after Henriette was useless and tried to facetank Ludwigs beam. Also because I value insight more now.
>>
>>167068596
NPC summons were added in an update when the DLC launched in November. I had my Platnium by then.

Original game only had Gasgoine for Cleric Beast and Alfred for BSB. Summoning also worked differently, there was no glowing spot on the ground, or Old Hunter Bell. Just a dev message in a specific spot saying to ring the Beckoning bell.
>>
>>167068227
On my first walkthrough the only time I tried to summon was Valtr at Ludwig. In the end I just leveled up a better weapon and beat him solo. Never summoned cooperators.

Nowadays I summon NPCs for bosses I dislike when I'm feeling lazy.
>>
Does summoning in this game even have any drawbacks like in Souls, when it increases the boss' health or defenses?
>>
>>167069101
you'll have an old hag who rings a sinister bell that allows other players to invade your game
>>
>>167069101
Increases boss health, summons a Bell Maiden so other players can invade you.
>>
>>167069203
I'm talking about actual drawbacks here.
>>
>>167069101
it makes bosses have more HP. Cooperator(s) also have their HP cut by 30%, and their damage output will be reduced to be more like the beckoner's if they are like 100 levels above but joined anyway through a password

also this >>167069203
>>
>>167069276
>>167069376
How much is the increase? I think it was a whopping 50% per phantom in DS1, although that's still not much, considering a summon theoretically doubles your damage output, or more if the summoned player is better equipped.
>>
>>167068438
>>167068832
>>167069049

well I'll assume you guys played the whole souls series before BB. I don't seem to have a real issue with big beasts cause they're easier to get behind, but more normal humanoid bosses seem to be the ones that give me the biggest fucking headache.
>>
Who's up for some late night co-op? Ringing at witches of hemwick. Pass is bbg.

coop on bosses like that is only good when you are helping someone try and beat like NG++ Amelia at meta levels.

I fought Father Gascoigne with this random guy and another cooperator and it was so fucking hard. The other cooperator died at the end of the fight, but we managed to kill him finally with like zero vials left. It must've been at least NG+2

I'm pretty sure it's still x1.5 for one summon and x2 for two summons.

The main advantage of summoning is agro juggling though, it's a lot easier to deal damage and also run away/heal if the boss isn't always attacking you. Although some bosses like Amy fuck up and become much harder to read with multiple targets.

>>167069464
I (>>167068438) played BB as my first Spuls game. It took 70 hours to get to Queen Yharnam, but I did it all solo and mostly blind. It took 10 hours of playtime to reach Cathederal Ward, I was level 30 and using a +3 weapon to beat Cleric/Gasgoine. BSB took me ages, Amelia, Paarl, Witches, Shadows all died in 1-3 attempts. Rom took 20+ attempts, so did Logarious, and Eribritas.
>>
>generate a few FRCs
>don't get any new fun enemies in my dungeons like in the popular glyphs
>finally generate one with a hemwick witch
>immediately regret it
Who thought those enemies in FRCs was a good idea? Not only they have infinite summons, they can also summon three at once, unlike the boss who only summons one at a time, but the summoned monsters are also much, much more aggressive than the ones during the story boss fight.
>>
>>167069978
I hate them and try to avoid them / run by them as much as possible. At least the phantoms are really weak and die in 1-2 hits.

What really scares me is the enemy hunters they have placed hidden behind wagons and shit, in the dark corners of the dungeon. Those fuckers are silent right up until the moment they are cutting your face up or fall-attacking onto your head
>>
>>167070101
That's one hit too many. And it doesn't matter that they don't have a lot of health. There's always three of them at all times, the witch ensures that, and they have stupidly long combos with stupidly long reach. I never noticed how much I hate those guys in the story mode, because I never had to fight more than one at a time.
>>
>>167069913
I don't know how long it took me to get through Central Yharnam but I definitely went through a learning curve. Cleric took me 3 tries, Gascoigne about 7, BSB really fucked me up with poison and that grab that kills you, 10+ attempts on him. Alfred didn't do shit but give me chances to hit from behind. Then I did WoH, took me 2 attempts on that (that blue magic band got me the first time), Vicar I surprisingly beat on the first try but I almost left because of those screams she did, thought I was gonna be annihilated, but I beat her. Shadows took me 4 tries before summoning help and we made quick work of them. and then the Darkbeast Paarl, got that one on the 4th attempt. that last phase of his is intense. now I'm on Logarius and I think he's killed me 7 times now. I'll make it to 10 before I summon help.
>>
>>167070346
and I've been using the hunter axe the entire time, +6 now. I switch between it and ludwigs blade, but I've been experimenting with the stake driver. range sucks on it but it's fun to use.
>>
>>167070346
>Logarius
Hit and run on the first phase, otherwise he's gonna insta-skullblast your shit at point blank. Parry spam on the second phase.
I had thousands of hours of experience with Dark Souls games when I got to BB. Killed most bosses in one-two tries.

>>167068227

Waning gems generally suck. The most powerful gems are usually triangles and radials from Watchers. Also fuck farming Amy twice and Rom, I'll take my gargoyle gems with open foes anyday
>>
>>167070610
>hit and run

that's what I do. I dodge those skulls all day, then he backs into a corner and makes the fight even harder. I'll bait him out and eventually he'll move away from it, then he goes right back to it spamming that orb attack. I can't do shit to him when does it because I can't get around him.
>>
>>167071036
>Also fuck farming Amy twice
Literally the comfiest easiest chalice boss to farm.

Not really. The stupid pillars and the stairs in the arena make the AI go full retard and force you to take a lot of risks to make it act predictably again
>>
>>167071040
>then he backs into a corner
Try to not let this happen. Because during the phase transition you can get a free backstab on him.
Also, you don't really need to "get around him" on the first phase. Dodge through the skulls, hit him once, back off. Repeat until phase two.

I'll try to be a bit more aggressive when he does it then, cause having distance between us doesn't help. I'm using the tricked axe for this fight, is that a good a choice. also have some bolt paper for his ass, he doesn't care about fire apparently.

>>167071613

>>167071785
I just jump attack them over and over and over until only the shotgun guy is left, and I just charge attack in his face because he misses poinjt blank until he pulls out his club, upon which I'll jump attack him to death too

Amy is way harder because so many of her attacks can kill me in one hit. Also the other anon is right, the arena you fight her in in the dungeons fucking sucks

Pretty much >>167072718.

Get to 20-something Vit and 25 Arc ASAP. Then get your two 10% fire radials and push Vit to wherever and Arc towards 50 while you get to Lower Pthu and get some 16% Fire radials.

Go for the minimum stats on both and pump the rest into Blt

>>167072050
Watchers can't oneshot unless you have 30 Vit and no runes. Most of Amy attacks can in his second phase. A boss that can't oneshot is easier than one who can, besides, Watchers are easy as fuck to parry and with a clawmark rune they die in 2-4 viscerals.

I don't grind for gems, so I didn't keep track of them either. I had yet to perfect the jump cheese, so people still prefer pillars back then, which is probably why no one saved them. I am also fairly certain most people here just use glyphs instead of freestyle spelunking.

Just dodge later than what you think is as late as possible. For Laurence's first form, you can get behind him pretty easy and you can also stun lock him with heavy/jump attacks against wounded limbs. Bait his big and slow attacks and punish him. His head is particularly weak if you can do some ranged damage and want a visceral attack

For his second form, stick to his small armpit and do charge attacks to him when he's blowing lava. It makes dodging his combo trivially easy, but watch out for his big swipes. Dress for fire and nothing else

Is the empty phantasm shell any good for an arcane build?

I remember reading it doesn't scale, so it will always add 80 arcane, regardless of how much arcane you have, just seems a little less useful than fire/bolt paper, since both of those are useful against entire groups of enemies, but arcane doesn't have any groups that are weak to it, from memory.

Is it for PvP, and for style points?

>Is the empty phantasm shell any good for an arcane build?
No.

No and no; you just look like a tryhard fag.
>>
>>167076895
It's okay for non arcane builds since you can also use OHB, Beast Roar, Choir Bell and Messenger Gift. Pthumerians in general are weak to arcane so it's kinda useful for HMPH but very situational besides that.
>>
>>167076895
No, converted weapons can't be buffed, and other arcane weapons are usually hybrids. No idea if kos parasite can be buffed though, I assumed it couldn't.

Pyros in DS3 aren't even that nice. I never even bothered with spells since I heard they were all terrible, but after doing a pyro run I wanted nothing more than to go back to my executioner glove.

>>
>>167077634
1. This isn't Lovecraft, just inspired by it.
2. Our characters aren't entirely human any more. They are powered up by the blood their own is cut with. They are getting additional power from the moon presence, and in the end they ate the cords and are basically great ones themselves.
>>
>>167077592
Every spell you just mentioned is horrible, though, that's the point I'm making
iirc they even buffed the gnawing ones and that still didn't help
>>
>>167077776
You never played with them, anon. Great and Great Heavy soul arrows are way stronger than blacksky eye, dorhys gnawing bleeds, and bleed in DS3 is extremely strong. All 3 of them are capable of letting you blow through DS3 with extreme ease.
>>
Augur is great though and obtainable early, you can demolish almost everything with it
>>
>>167077845
I know how broken bleed is in DS3, no one in the world is going to use the slow revolving projectiles to inflict it on anything. Just like no one in the world is ever going to consider that chip damage regen setup an actual build.
And soul arrows are more situational in DS3 than they were in any of the other games. So much shit in 3 stacks magic resist so most of the time they serve as wet noodles.

And right after it you can get the executioner's glove. And very early in the game the firesprayer, that is not very different in effect from a tool.
>>
>>167078250
At first it was "DaS3's spell placement is better" now it's "You don't use x spells in DaS3 right like I do"

The ""conversation"" was retarded to begin with, but it's only going to get worse.
>>
>>167078157
>no one in the world
In other words, you. Dorhys is extremely easy to get, set up, it deals dark damage on top of bleed damage, and dark damage is the second only to fire in terms of pve viability.
>And soul arrows are more situational in DS3
It's blacksky eye that is situational. It needs 99 points investment to match the damage of 60INT great soul arrow and it will never match the damage of great heavy soul arrow which casts at pretty much the same casting speed with maxed virtual dexterity.

I didn't remember the regular bloodletting beast was that fun fight, got there short on blood vials and just barely got him with a moonlight blades beam attack, if that had failed he would have killed me.

Jesus Christ.

>>167081892
Sure, stop leveling Skl and pump Str to 50. Honestly I'd go 25/50 and make it a Skl build, you already got 10 Blt for the Reiter and that on a Str build will do okay if you slot a Heavy but it's better for Skl.
>>
>>167082310

Kinda wanna use the Beast Cutter
>>
>>167082461
Then either make a new character or go 50/26 Str/Skl. Reiter will lose around 50-60 AR compared to 25/50 if you wanted to use it but it's still usable. Same with other Skill weapons.
>>
>>167082663

Thanks for the advice mate, going to go 50-26. really appreciate it. The Threaded cane is intitially what drew me to a STR build, but I just found out about the Beast Cutter last night, which seems like a more insane version of the Cane. cheers

The gems are going to be there, but your luck will decide if it's what you want.

Can anyone tell me the best build to use the Bloodletter? And can I use any other weapon with it? Seems like the only Strength and Blood weapon... I mean I guess I can have a transformed Chikage, or maybe Simons Bowblade... Figure I'll go in with the Axe, maybe use the hammer or sword till around 25 strength, then start getting Blood up and hopefully make that work till I can actually get the thing in the DLC...
>>
>>167085774
No and no. You don't need to savescum at all but it greatly speeds up the process when trying to get a good drop from a layer 3-4 boss.
The type of gem is guaranteed for certain bosses but things like rating and curses are random.
The OP has easy glyphs for farming but you can also create your own dungeons at your own risk.

That's on you, then.

>>167088035
I play a lot and I like to grind. I'm also not very good at these games so I tend to rely on overleveling. A lot.
>>
>>167088282
I could understand grinding in a JRPG, but BB/Souls is primarily an action game. You can only grind so much until you hit soft or even hard caps on your stats. You could have had 50 vit, 50 str, and even 50 skl or arc way before 195. Leveling any more doesn't make you any stronger, it just makes you better at doing the things you weren't as good before.
>>

Idk I'm at 67 strength and my hunter axe damage keeps going up every few levels. So does my vitality. My goal is to go full Goku and get strength to 99
>>
>>167088681
At 50 STR you gain 85% of what that stat has to offer, so going to 99 will only give you 15% more damage. It would be a better investment to level SKL even if the scaling of the Axe is shit. VIT scales well past 50 so doing that is all good if you don't care about overleveling.
>>
>>167089150
>VIT scales well past 50

You get like 6 hp per level.

>>167087543

But at that level you can probably take every attack he does.
>>
>>167089601
Do not doubt the power of the VITamin King. That much vitality is disgusting.
>>
>>167089736
Yeah, well, it's still better than any other stat past 50. Except maybe Arc. Still, I wouldn't call it "well", maybe "passable".

A Bell Maiden needs to be in your world for people to invade you, they'll spawn if you ring your Beckoning/Sinister Bell. You can blank it out after they spawn, but rarely anyone invades outside of Frontier and Mergo's since Maidens spawn there automatically.
>>
>>167091798

Have to be at least level 30 to get invaded, and some areas tend to be more active for invasions than others. Also, to be invaded, there needs to be a bell maiden spawned in the area, they spawn in when you summon co-op. There are also two areas later in the game that have bell maidens spawn in by themselves, they're also the most active for invasions.

CD bosses, ideally FRC Watchers or Brainsuckers if you need their gems. ptwrx6tb is a good Isz glyph to run through, you have a chance to get 4-6 Chunks, maybe a Rock from Ayymissary on layer 3. If you haven't made it to FRC yet Werewolves/Scourge Beasts in Upper Cathedral Ward is your best option outside of CD's. Eye Runes help.

> all this misinformation

- Visceral base damage is based on overall player level.
- This base damage is physical (specifically thrust) and cannot be converted to other elements
- Viscerals have S++ scaling in SKL, no other scaling
- Gems and weapon bonus effects affect Viscerals, AR does not
- EG physical, thrust, ATK up at low HP, ATK up VS beasts all work as you would imagine. But Blunt and elemental gems do nothing. Heavy gems add STR scaling to Viscerals as well.
- Tricked Threaded Cane with 3 Poorman Ghost gems is the best possible visceral due to its 0.15 SKL scaling bonus
>>
>>167094851
End is fine at base as long as you have the 20% Stam Rune. 28 Str for CCannon and Gat isn't a waste, but if you care about the 98 meme meta going 28 will put you one point over the meta.

Well okay then, seems a bit dodgy but I'll believe it
But surely 40 vit can't be enough? So I don't see how you'd manage 28 str without shooting all the way for 110 or so

It's not elemental weapons, it's elemental gems.

A Kos Parasite with Nourishing gems (if you are too lazy to farm Arcane gems) will do decent Visceral damage. Wheras a max gemmed parasite with 3 Arcane gems will have pitiful Viscerals.

40 Vit is enough as long as you have the 2 Clock Runes, which is the standard setup. It's the absolute minimum most people people would recommend. 45 is the sweetspot, 50 is the max.

Go normally through old yharnam, don't meet him close yet, defeat BSB, go to hypogean gaol, meet darkbeast paarl (or kill him), go backward from that lamp or BSB lamp without killing beasts, talk with him and say hug beasts instead of killing them.
