Applying good blood gems to your weapon is just as important as upgrading it.

>>170617692
You NEED to learn how to parry and use your secondary weapon.

>>170619238
I was talking about gems mate, you need those.

>>170619238
Because parrying is a relatively easy way to cause disgusting amounts of damage. It's not necessary, but it is helpful

>>170619284
Go to some higher level area, or just use SRRC.
Mobs give enough echoes to buy molotovs as well as vials in bulk.

Hello /bbg/ just got Bloodborne about 2-3 days ago whats going on and what should i know?

>>170619660

>>170619660

That you should play blind.

Oh i should say one thing i don't have PSN so sorry if i don't get the dank memes

>>170619660

>>170619882
Oh yeah of course i'm a big dark souls fan so of course i played blind and i had a really good time. playing the DLC now (about to go to bed so not playing at this moment) and the DLC is pushing my shit in

>>170619990
Keep in mind that for the DLC you should be at least bl.60 and with a +9 or +10 weapon.

>>170619660
Zoidberg does not like being stabbed.

>>170619238
Because parrying with the right setup can give you a lot of health, a bunch of bullets and a second to catch your breath, while tearing four digits' worth of health out of the enemy. And some enemies, like the final boss, have painfully obvious parry windows.

>>170620036
Well then i just might be bad at the game then cus i'm about level 60ish and using a +10 threaded cane and a +9 chiitake the blood sword that drains health butchered then name i know but holy shit it's just making me my bitch and i still haven't gotten the first boss yet. /bbg/ sing me to sleep

>>170619882
>Your physical damage gets higher as your bar gets fuller.

I see, thank you.

>>170620259
What's your level distribution, points allotted in Str, Skl, and the like? That might be the problem.

Are any of those impact mods worth using?

>>170620341
pretty balanced if i can remember cus ps4 not on it goes
25 hp
25 eng
10 srt
25 dex
22 bloodtinge
8 int
i'm just going with a balance charter since it is my second play though

>>170620431
Fuck wrong general

>>170620259
Yeah, the start is pretty brutal there. Don't bother fighting the Bloodlickers and open all the shortcuts and then you can explore the area.

>>170620479
Okay, stop right there.
You will turn the hell around right now. You will get the two Moon runes from the Nightmare of Mensis. Then you will go kill every bonus boss in the core game that you haven't beaten yet and then you will farm the upper part of the Forbidden Woods a dozen times, including the Executioner at the beginning. Don't ever touch Endurance again and pump a lot of points into Bloodtinge and Vitality as well as a bit of Skill.

so one last question before i go to bed whats the online player base like is it still lively or dead. is it worth it to activate my free month of PSN for it?

>>170620479
Balance usually doesn't work well, trying to evenly split every single attribute. I tried that myself on my second playthrough, and it didn't work well. What you have is salvageable, fortunately.
With the weapons you're using, you should level Skl and Blt as much as you can. Also level Vit, as only at 25 probably isn't enough to take on the DLC, so increase that. Don't touch End (really you don't need to go past 20) or Str. If you're subscribing to the "level meta" of 98-117, you probably won't be able to level Arc anymore. If not, you should probably bump it to 18 to use the Augur.

>>170620907
>>170620840
thanks for the help guys

>>170621136
And if you ever need a calculator for builds (attire, leveling, damage output), try this:

I didn't see it in the OP, it's a build calculator that will save a great deal of time and confusion.

>>170621236

>rapid poison on rhe wheel
How fast does it proc?

Trying to put together a build for SKL + BLT since I haven't done that before. I actually want to use the threaded cane/burial blade and not the chikage, so I'm thinking of 50/20 SKL/BLT, 50/20 VIT/END but no matter what I try I end up with somewhere around level 113-120. I really want to stay around 98-100. Anyone got some suggestions? I don't want to shaft any of my skills too heavily. I could probably go to only 15 END because the cane uses pretty little stamina, but I dunno about the burial blade, and it's still good just to have the extra END for better stamina management.

>>170623410
I'm not entirely sure whether 1 hit does one proc. So if that is true then it would do like 55 - 60 rapid poison with FRC gems. But then the wheel multuhits.

>>170623661
Is it more effective than flat arc?

>>170623761
I don't think it's mire effective, but it is more fun imhofamalamadingdong

>>170623521
If you really wanna stick to 98, don't go Skilltinge. Either go Pure Skill/Skill Quality or Pure Blt. Skilltinge is only good at 50/50, you're already shafting Bloodtinge by going 50/20. 15 End with a 20% Stam Rune is enough for anything. But for 50/50 Skilltinge you're gonna have to stick to base End if you don't want to go over 120 and have at least 40 Vit.

Shit my bad, shoulda mentioned I haven't started the DLC yet. Almost finished Upper Cathedral, just need to kill Ebreitas. Haven't reached Micolash but have completed Cainhurst and Yahar'gul

I have a nearly pure ARC build. what am I supposed to do to maximise my use of tonitrus? all % bolt gems, or cold abyssals+ bolt, nourishing or what/

>>170624543
Sorry about that, someone was talking to me

>>170624778
Nourishings if you're gonna pop pellets occasionally for extra Blunt damage, a Cold and Bolts for maximum buff damage. Cold Abyssal Radial, 27.2% Bolt Triangle and an Abbhorent Abyssal Waning for with the Lost version for full Bolt. Amy and Gargoyles/Rom for Nourishings, same version.

>>170624378
Alright, thanks. I already went STR/BLT for my first character, but had to drop VIT down to 43 or something to fit level 100, which really didn't do me any favors when I got to NG+ or ToH, and I'm not going down that road again.

>>170624931
Not a big deal. But.. I know this will sound as if I was lying, but I can't play anymore. Sorry

>>170624960
43 is fine, just slap on 2 Clock Runes and you're good. Since you went Str/Blt already, I'd advise doing a Skill build instead if you haven't already. 25/50/10 Str/Skl/Blt should be optimal for every Skill weapon.

>>170624958
domow arogato

>>170625093
Yeah, I'll just stick with full SKL this time around. It just hurts to shelf that +10 repeating pistol that totally fucks people trying to heal/make distance in PvP. Thanks again for the advice.

>>170625313
It'll still do decent damage at 10 Blt, just use BMA and you can gun down people with it as a last resort. Viscerals will be a real treat as a Skill build too, good luck m8

I somehow got good offshape pulsing gem drops from the long leg pthumerians that walk around in a group. +5 triangle, radial and waning, as well as the normal circle. idk if they drop as non-offshape elsewhere. I put them all on a shit pistol and shit lost weapon for my arc build and I'm actually surprised at how good the healing is. Not nearly enough to make a difference in a fight but any chip damage you take is quickly healed. stuff like falling instead of taking the ladder, maybe getting hit once in a fight or using blood bullets. If you just have the two weapons equipped whenever you aren't fighting it's awesome. You can just use blood bullets with impunity so I spam blacksky eye constantly, whereas before I'd avoid using bullets unless I had to.

I've completed this game about 5 times now and I'm about to start another. I don't play it online and I don't do NG+ so i'm looking for things to do in one playthrough only. I finished the dlc last time and used a few new weapons, am I right in thinking there's now magic on the game? if so is that only worth keeping for online/NG+ I take it?

Are the side quests besides alfreds worth it? I feel like I've done everything in the game but send all the people to the chapel properly, and do Eileens quest. I've done all the chalice dungeons and I think I've gotten every ending scenario.The last one being the great one ending. Just name anything interesting or secret that I haven't mentioned if that's what it takes.

Does anyone know the latin lyrics to ebrietas and gherman's theme?

>>170627564
Magic has always been a thing, there's just not a very impressive selection of it. I haven't tried the DLC stuff yet, but in the base game I've only found it useful for online play.
Eileen's quest is good and gets you some sweet loot, but it ends with the most bullshit NPC fight in the series.

>>170619660
Just keep playing until you get stuck. I'm going to assume you've played souls games before. The first run is the best so don't spoil it. If you miss areas and bosses (which you most likely will) it makes the second and third play through interesting. Just drink it in lad.

Not 100% accurate though

>>170627564
There's always been magic, it's Hunter Tools. They all scale with arc, all the way to 99. They can be incredibly useful for crowd control or raw damage. Augur can parry enemies, A Call Beyond can be absolutely devastating especially against large bosses at close range where a ton of projectiles hit, Accursed Brew does splash damage, Executioner Gloves are absolutely god tier for stunlocking and damaging, and there's more to use.

Also, do NG+. It's not hyper difficult or anything, it's a noticeable increase in enemy health and damage, but you've also got all your +10 weapons, gems and fully upgraded character.

>>170620479
I usually do similar to you but minus the bloodtinge. I stick all those extra points on strength/dex and I'm good to go. The guns are a meme to me.

>>170628126
I forgot about the 'magic' in bloodborne because I always ignored it since it seemed so scare to me. I also never bothered with bloodtinge as it seemed a bit of a meme just for riposting. NG+ puts me off because it seems like it would be easier than the first playthrough. If that's the case, I'd much rather start a new one and keep it 'difficult'. Obviously these games get easier and easier every time you complete them in a general sense. I don't really care for parrying as I don't need to and I don't play online. Is any of the magic actually fun and worth using casually against enemies?

>>170627203
a poison build can be done on any build right, poison build is independant of any stats? Would a pizza cutter the best for poison, maybe even the parasite?

>>170628651
It can be done on any build but it will only work on a low level pvp character.
Poison is useless in pve and high level players are hard to poison, big damage works better on them.
Whirligig Saw is a good option, Logarius' Wheel is the best thanks to its dash R1 and R2 attacks.
As for Kos' Parasite, all I know is that it's a pain in the ass to get on a low lvl character.

>>170629017
Won't most people just carry around an antidote pill?
Can you even parry those?

>>170628576
Hunter Tools cost quicksilver bullets, that's all. They scale all the way to 99 arc and be incredibly powerful as a result. They are very much worth using against enemies, laying off a Call Beyond into a group of enemies and see them go flying is great. Accursed Brew is great for raw damage, Blacksky Eye is good for long distance damage and drawing single enemies. Gloves home in on enemies, perfect for NPC hunter fights, staggering them with the gloves while you run in for the attack. Keep in mind that these are exactly what they're called - Tools, they are not your main source of damage, they are a supplement to your damage.

Bloodtinge is for gun damage and for the two BLT weapons, Chikage and Bloodletter. With the right gems, they're absurdly strong. A +10 evelyn gun with 50blt is also quite strong. The Hunter Tool, Madaras Whistle, scales with Bloodtinge only. It's fun to use, but hard to actually hit with.

NG+ can be difficult as bosses get tougher, too, it's just more that you're on an even ground now. The real fun begins in NG+3 and beyond.

>>170629129
Everyone has antidotes, but most people don't have them in the quick menu.
The animation is also slower than blood vials, so easier to punish.
At low levels a two-handed Wheel is going to do a lot of damage anyway, even without Nourishings.

>>170629516
So should I use poison gems (I assume ailing loran ones would suffice?) or nourishings?

>>170629589
Poison of course, Logarius' Wheel doesn't have innate poison buildup.
It's a good time to make a low level invader now since there's the restart event going on now.

>>170629017
Rapid Poison is actually decent on a few bosses like Undead Giants. But yeah for PvP it's better as a twink. I don't know about Whirly, biggest reason poison works good for Wheel is multi-hits come out all at once quickly. Whirly's L2 isn't as fast and you gotta hold it down longer, enough for most players to just dodge out of unless they were trapped.

>>170629959
Yeah, Whirligig isn't really ideal.
I think Blade of Mercy would be interesting.

>>170634908
NPC hunters generally only heal 1-2 times tops, as far as I know

>>170635451
She healed at least four times against me.
I just started a new character and fought fake Iosefka for the sake of it, she' surprisingly strong.
Not only she heals more than any other NPC, but she also has a very large arsenal that does tons of damage.
She uses a poison threaded cane, repeating pistol, augur of Ebrietas, a call beyond and even numbing mist. She's like the Choir hunter in Byrgenwerh but a bit weaker.

What is this shit

>>170641060
I'm pretty new, but IIRC only solo invasion areas are nightmare frontier and mensis nightmare.
Honestly once you upgrade your weapon to +9 and get okay gems that will hardly bother you, there is no weapon memory and it's easier to punish players that are worse than you. I hardly lose any invasions now.

>>170641620
Yeah but I'm a new player and want to explore the fucking area. But good call, I am in the nightmare frontier.

>>170641682
People there might be geared better than you. I tried PvPing there for the first time at bl40 with 18% gems and got my ass whooped, so beware.

>>170641682
Don't kill the bell lady, she doesn't respawn.

>>170642461
She's already dead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What does she do?

>>170642601
She summons invaders.

>>170642762
Well then, why shouldn't I kill her?

Also this area is already very fun. Is this the Black Gulch of Bloodborne?

>>170643283
Some people keep her alive for the sake of PvP, but I think she respawns if you ring the Sinister Resonant Bell.
It isn't the Black Gulch of BB, you can actually see in front of you and the area boss isn't a sentient pile of meat pudding with an oversized butcher's knife. And there aren't a bunch of statues spitting poison, just those blobby white crawlers.

WHY IS THIS VAMPIRE WEEB IN THE GRAND CATHEDRAL SO FUCKING STRONG REEEEE

>>170644445
All you have to do is wait for him to get in the range of a charged R2. The Wooden Shield can remove almost all of the damage from his gun.

>>170644445
Wait for him to visceral then combo his ass and pray he doesn't pull some bullshit like shooting you mid combo.

Is Great Bridge the best way to farm Blood Vials or is there a better spot later on?

>>170645508
Like I said, wait for him to get in range of a charged R2. You may not even need to move during the fight if you do it correctly.
For a fun activity, count the number of bullets he uses in one encounter. I've gone past forty.

>>170645508
Then lure him into cathedral's gate, he literally can't get out of the cathedral, making him an easy target for viscerals, preferably with weapons that have range.

>>170645806
The guy is like the majority of bosses across the SoulsBorne games; as soon as you figure out the gimmick, you can do it with very little effort.

It's just that easy. Enjoy the Crowhunter Badge and new Oath.

On the subject of Crowhunters, what would be a good weapon for such a build besides the BoM? My first though was the Rakuyo, but it seems pointless to use the longer version of the BoM. Any ideas?

>>170619238
Parrys and backstabs will carry you through most of the game. Getting gud at these things will help you immensely.

So i finished bb around bl85. What is a good weapon for ng+ with 30/30 and at what level should I stop leveling?

>>170651468
>30/30
You need to pick a side anon
>at what level should I stop leveling?
Around bl 100 if you want frequent online interaction

>>170651468
Level 98 is our meta. LHB is best for a Quality build.

>>170651468
>30/30

wew at least pump one to 40

98-117 is the /bbg/ level range for PVP and shit, around that will get you random co-op, too, although people outside of our autism lair go up to 150. Going below 98 is pointless, going above 117 will make us call you a faggot.

>>170651750
Most people in our FCs aren't 98 though

>>170651750
Already used it in ng. I'm not into pvp but don't want to overlevel.

>>170651468
30/30 is a bad idea, go 50/25 instead.
BLs 43, 60 and 100 are popular but there's activity all the way to 250.
But whatever you do, don't ever, under any circumstances, listen to tripsfags.

>>170651813
Most people outside of bbg only go to 120. A few leddit shitters go to 150. 98 will let you play with the 120s while avoiding the shitters.

>>170651850
98 is still best. It lets you have a finished build without over-leveling, it lets you get summoned by people down to around level 65 without a password, IIRC.

So stop at 98 for pve?

>>170652225
Stop at whatever for pve

>>170652225
Yeah, it is the best catch all level. Too low and you will feel like your build is not finished. Too high and everything will feel trivial and finding co-op without passwords will feel impossible.

Is there a guide how chalice dungeons works?

Sure, just put elemental gems on your non-split damage weapons and their scaling will be entirely converted in arcane

Parasite is a pure arc weapon, and I think it's fitting that the final stage of pure arc builds involves transformation into a cosmic broccoli.

Kirkhammer is rarely used because the regular tricked R1 combo seems to be bugged.
You often hit with the hammer's "shockwave" instead of the actual hammer even if you're very close to the enemy. This leads to very bad damage, reason why many Kirkhammer users stick to the L2 combo instead of R1.
L2 is slower, but it always does full damage.
As for the Wheel, you'll find it later on. You need to complete Alfred's quest for it.

You put to much into to End, don't add any more.
What kind of build are you going for? If this is your first time playing, the Arc scaling on a weapon just means how it will scale if you convert it into an elemental weapon, your weapon doesn't actually scale with Arc. Don't put any points into it if you are just playing through the game for the first time.

>>170671765
Dodge left and try to get under him.

>>170671765
Learn his tells. He has specific screeches used to announce specific attacks. For the opening leap, just dodge to the left. In general, staying to the left is the best way, as you can just hack away at him till you stun him.
For his jumps, count and roll on 1, and for the longer one, sprint in a straight line.
Don't stay under him for too long unless you want to get trampled by the stomp attack.

no, why would it

>>170673426
No idea, bloodtinge is the one build i've never done. Assumed you needed that for chikage and a back up.

That was horrifying, Cainhurst must have been quite the horror if it was a whole castle of that.

>>170673575
Untricked Chikage scales with skill yeah but the moveset isn't that good. I personally don't really feel comfortable with using the tricked Chikage because of the constant life drain. The Bloodletter is way nicer in that regard and also has a great moveset.

>>170673689
I see, so base skill? How much str do you use for the bloodletter?

I kinda felt bad about Draco, kinda.
Where you ringing after that mass suicide?

how do I make good BB female?

Also base. This is what my skill build looks like (the 15 skill is for the bowblade)

Think i'm going to try this then, thanks for the help.

>>170673942
I thought you did that on purpose and followed you, surprising enough I survived.

>>170674016
err, blt I mean

Fell off the rafter again. Ok we're taking the safer path.

Now that I remember,
You can. Make a sinister chalice, ring beckoning bell. Than have someone try to get summoned while wearing an enemy rune. You'll have yourself, a coperator, and summenrd hunter of hunters and two red invaders.

Hello /bbg/

I just finished my first playthrough with a str build and i wanna try some kind of skill build for my next character. Is it a good idea to go mainly for skill and dump the spare points into either arcane or bloodtinge? Or do i have to go for an actual hybrid 50/50 build? I wanna be able to use a skill weapon efficiently but still have other tools at my disposal like arcane abilities or a strong firearm.

Thanks in advance

That is disgusting, what the hell anon

pls
I just want to Cainhurst

>>170674491
You don't need to invest heavily into arcane for the tools to be useful, so that's viable.

Investing heavily into bloodtinge isn't necessary for a strong gun either, but you won't do much with any of the blt-based trick weapons unless you go almost full BLT.

Can someone spoil me how to get the wheel I don't want to risk missing it

>>170674491
Only a small selection of weapons truly benefit from 50/50, you're better off going full skill or 50skill/25str.
You can add 18 arcane points for augur of Ebrietas or 10 bloodtinge for Bowblade and Reiterpallasch.

Follow Alfred's quest and at the end of it, go to where you first met him. Or you can just do chalice dungeons and get the uncanny version in the pthumeru defilement root chalice.
