Base game, the Woods. The Night phase is my favorite, and Shadow of Yharnam is one of my favorite fights. DLC, probably the Hunter's Nightmare. As for dungeons, Loran.

>>171715140
I don't remember where it is but I'm 100% sure you can make a run for it, just look up exactly where it is.

A tip I can give is if you hug left the fireball won't hit you.

>>171715278
What was it?

>>171715140
Beast Cutter is really easy to get to, assuming you know where it is already. Just make a run for it and roll wildly.

>>171715334
Oh I didn't have any source for him to draw from, I literally just said "draw a cute pic of the doll." Maybe that was the problem kek.

It just shows lack of interest. You don't really want it, you just wanted a picture anything is fine, so no matter how much effort went into it, you wouldn't appreciate it because you didn't want anything in the first place.

Drawing is not something easy, takes a lot of hours, effort, inspiration, not to mention the training and knowledge necessary to reach that point, days and days of practice with no guarantee that you'll ever get better. Hell, most people don't ever get better because of mental blocks, stress, work but mostly motivation, because drawing is an ungrateful work, it takes an unproportional amount of effort compared to its pay, and even if you spend hours and hours on a single drawing putting your blood on it, it can turn out a complete mess that no one will ever be able to appreciate and will just serve to shame you when you look back at it.

>>171716935
It's pretty much the same thing
Towards the end of the level you'll find a ladder with an Old Hunter and many crows near it.
Make sure you lure the Old Hunter far from the ladder before proceeding or else he'll shoot you down.

>>171717094
Also this doesn't apply just to drawing. It applies to most types of art that isn't abstract (garbage), like music.

Blus I love the opening cutscene, how he seems genuinely upset that you wont go to rest quietly, but at the same time he is excited to test his mettle again. Great fucking voice acting work there. I will never forget the time he had 1% hp, did his huge stinger attack, bursting through one of the destructible wooden crucifixes, and at the last second I parried him and got the Viceral for the finishing blow. I felt like a fucking god. It is honestly one of my top 5 bosses in the whole souls series.

Gehrman's decision to put your own suffering to an end over his is what got me the most, especially after hearing him crying in his sleep, begging to be released.
It made killing him feel so good.

>>171722973
That depends on your taste
Personally I like Gravity Rush games, Yakuza, Siren, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Nier Automata

>>171722973
Jesus nice fuckin deal m8

I'd recommend Doom, maybe, it's really good fun but it takes up an absolute shitload of memory and there's no singleplayer DLC, just multiplayers stuff, but there's some good SnapMap community stuff if you wade through it. Or could get For Honor, which despite its faults, can be very fun. You could main Peacekeeper and be the bane of my fucking life. There's also DMC4 Special Edition, also people seem to really enjoy Nier: Automata, but I've been told you need to have played or seen a comprehensive LP of the first Nier beforehand.

>>171722973
>>171723243
I second Gravity Rush. There's also a good selection of fighting games like Guilty Gear if you're into those. There's also a PS4 general thread that you could look into for recommendations.

is level 80 considered overleveling? I'm a pure strength build. Did the entire fight with muh cannon and hunter's Axe. The amount of rally behind the Axe's hits is ridiculous. I'd take a single hit while closing the gap and get 3 strikes in while Ludwig was still combo-ing. My HP would be back at full.

although I did use all 3 runes to increase how many blood vials I can carry so I had 29 on me

80 is fine, don't worry, it's basically the level you finish the game.

Overlevel is if you do all chaliches and the Queen before the DLC which resulted in BL 150 for me, for example

Yeah 98 is mainly for PvP, but most of us cap around 98-117 with 120 being the limit for our FCs. 70 Arc is enough, scaling for Tools is actually better past that so some say don't bother unless you're going 99 Arc but that means going over 98 (unless your Vit is sub 20, don't do this) so 70 is fine since you can still manage to get at least 40 Vit.

There aren't really any "best" Arcane weapons since you just convert anything purely Physical if you have the stats and Parasite. Stuff like Wheel and HMS will require at least 25/12 Str/Skl to be usable on an Arc build. Gems can convert Pure Physical weapons to fire/bolt/arcane, so if it's split then you can't convert it. If you want effectiveness, I guess a Fire Saw Cleaver/Spear will be the best. 11 Skill opens up Saif which makes for a popular Bolt weapon. Check the OP for the Arc 101 guide and eventually gem setups once you hit FRC, you'll want to spend a lot of time in CD's as an Arc build.

i just played some and am now level 75 with ARC 50. strength is 22 and i cant remember the rest. vitality may only be 21 im just not sure.

Iron door key opens a door you find when you take the first left from when you first enter the arena.

>>171738508
Fight Club, we have fight clubs every Saturday. The meta for it is 80-120. 98s can invade 80-148, which is partly why it exists since it avoids Reddit 150s and still able to invade 80s which was an abandoned meta. Oh and only 117s can invade 98s, 120s can't but you can still invade 120s. There's a calculator in the OP you could use to find your level ranges, also a guide for Chalice Dungeons. Clear out every room in every dungeon you make and you won't ever be a material short as long as you pick up the ones in the main game as well. If you don't have enough mats for a new Chalice, you either have to create a different Chalice to get them or you missed some from an earlier dungeon.

Did the PVP or the game itself got revived thanks to that even earlier this month? I never got to try the PVP when I played the game back then

The bad thing is that I should make a brand new character since as far I know theres no way to respec your stats unlike DS3

just havnt been on much, been playing a good alot of r6 seige on pc recently, are you the guy who i occaisionally joined in dungeons?

That's only in DS3. Thankfully Bloodborne wasn't ruined by Tanimeme's "balancing".

>>171742998
ye, Ive been doing the same with overwatch on pc but when I did hop on I noticed you'd been off for long periods of time and was just curious is all.

OK lads, I'm ready to start purging, do I go 50/25 or 25/50 for the wheel?

>>171743073
25/50 for revving, 50/25 for Blunt smashing (or just 50/10).

>>171743137
Which gems are easiest to farm? Blunt or (I guess) nourishing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTI27c91alU

well then, that works

>>171743053
could do some FRC's later on if you're around, send me a message on PS if you want to so i know for sure who it is

>>171743187
Blunts are from Watchers, relatively easy boss(es) but the drop rate is pretty low. Gargoyles/Rom for Radials, former being much easier. Then Amy for Triangles/Waning, can be hard if you don't jump cheese or spam Tools. 25/50 has the luxury of using a Fire Stake to 3-shot Amy with Oil Urns.

apart from things having more health etc, why dont people go into NG+ usually?

>>171743252
Do you have to have those chalices open and beaten on your character to join FRCs? Just came back from a long break and deleted all my characters starting fresh so havent done em yet.

>>171743271
OK, that's really helpful, thanks famygdala

>>171743324
No prob, also forgot to mention that Gargoyles, Rom and Amy drop Nourishings.

How hard is Orphan of Kos and the DLC in general in NG+?

>>171745725
gehrmans dick got pretty scratched up after fucking it for so long

>>171745792
A bit harder but if you're going in with an end game leveled character you should do fine, damage might be a problem if you aren't using Winter Lantern or CD gems.

>>171745792
if its anything like the other areas and bosses in NG+ then not very difficult

I'm super surprised how active this game still is, new character i've already encountered 3 PvE twinks nearly instantly on ringing.

>>171746640
the bloodborne community is super dedicated, even the general does very well considering its one game on one system. theres often even more posters than there are in /fog/ for example and thatsmultiple games on multiple systems

>>171746752
that's crazy to think about, it makes me happy though I love this game so much it's a 10/10 for me personally

>>171746752
>>171747053
also the general's post quality is pretty ok for a vg general plus we only have 2 main trip fags, one of them severly autistic whocant stand the fact hes shit at the game and the other is slightly less autistic and just posts memes. but its still a hell of a lot better than alot of other generals

>>171749168
Cruel Fate: 40/12/10/9/5/50. After that, either choose Pure Arc by pumping Arc to 70 or Str/Arc by pumping Str/Skl to 25/12. You'll have left over points you can put anywhere like Vit, End, or Str/Skl to meet requirements. For Pure Arc you can fit 11 Skill for Saif, or 12 Str for Toni. Former is funner imo.

what is the best order to kill the shadows of yarnham?
also should you only focus on one or try and damage them all?

>>171751071
I usually kill the one throwing fireballs first since he's annoying, doesn't really matter which order you kill them. Better to beat em one by one, the last one will dodge to the side over and over after getting hit so it's kinda cheesy.

True, although she has a bit of a fivehead.
Weird how Annalise's face appears in the artbook despite the fact that it's never shown in the game, whereas faces of other human characters like Micolash or Iosefka don't have concept art. The artist most likely left them to the programmers' discretion.

Going for the mage first will make your life easier. Killing the other two shadows while he throws fire at you is very annoying, and he's pretty weak when you get close so killing him while the other two are alive shouldn't be a problem.
I find the one with the regular sword (not fire) the most dangerous, so I always keep him last.

>resistance 4: fall of the chimera
like they are gonna touch that dead series

For my first run (don't care about pvp) through BB, how viable is a 25/25/25 skill/str/arcane build? I read the pastebin and it goes that's the softcap for all 3 with another one after. I'm assuming it's like 40/60 softcaps in souls?

>>171762461
The softcaps are 25/50. The build isn't too terrible, first characters tend to be unoptimized so you can try out all the weapons. If you go 50/25/25 you could have a pretty good HMLS build

>>171762461
It's fun to be so flexible with equipment, but you'll need to twink/gem your shit to get similar damage to dedicated builds.

t. playing a 30/30/30/15 build

>>171762461
No, softcaps are 25 and 50 for weapons. The build is okay for PvE, but the only thing that'll really get the most of it is Holy Moonlight Sword. You should either get Str or Arc to 50, it's common to go 25/25/50 or 50/25/25 for HMS and other stuff.

>>171762461
you don't really need that much arcane. thats not enough arcane for any of the non-gimmick hunter tools to do useful damage. I'd go with a str/skill quality build. also invest in endurance if you're not going to do PVP. people who do PVP usually don't level end past 15, having high end makes the PVE more enjoyable as you can dish out combos like nobodies business and not have to manage your stamina bar.

>>171763119
25 is enough to make Executioner's Gloves and Blacksky Eye decent

>>171762624
>>171762667
>>171762759
>>171763119
Thanks for the responses. Having looked at all the weapons and their movesets, there's only 3 that I definitely want to use which are the:

Saw Cleaver (C/D/C)
Holy Moonlight Sword (B/C/A)
Ludwig's Holy Blade (B/B/A)

I figured with scaling like that I'd be better off going 25/25/25 rather than my original idea of just getting to 50/50 for Str/Skl.

So I should go Str and Arcane then instead?

>>171763750
Those weapons are perfectly fine with a 50/25/25 build if you don't mind going that high of a level.

>>171763813
I'm looking to do all the story stuff and chalice dungeon stuff on my first build, so I wasn't thinking of a level cap per se, just what level I end up naturally through playing. For example, with Dark Souls 3 exploring everything got me around sl 80.

>Amygdalan Arm and Beast Claw count as Church weapons judging by the Storage menu
Interesting, I understand Amy Arm since amygdalas are venerated as gods/divine messangers by the Healing Church judging by all those statues and Patches' dialogue, but why Beast Claw? I thought Izzy was a heretic.

>>171763750
The thing about the Arcane scaling on Pure Phys weapons like SC and LHB is its not used until you slot a fire/arcane/bolt gem. So those weapons will only scale with 25/25 Str/Skl until you do so. Then when you do, it'll only scale with Arcane. HMS scales with all 3 since it's a split weapon that deals Phys and Arc dage at the same time. Str is better for the blade and let's you use Phys gems, Arc is better for the beams and will require Nourishings while there aren't many good ones till FRC. If you don't mind Chalice Dungeon farming and love the beams with fire/bolt/arcane weapons, go Arc. Str will be easier and you can still use Nourishings for the beams.

Ah that changes things slightly. I think I'll just get to 25 str in that case and then see from there. I'll most probably end up going 50/25/25.

They're not in the church section, they're in "other"

>>171764815
They are in the Church section, there's no "Other" option for weapons. There is for attire, though.

>>171764301
I guess it's because both weapons were discovered by tomb prospectors

>>171764301
I hate how the noble dress is in the other category when it clearly says cainhurst attire in the description

>>171765829
Where does the noble dress end up?

Is there a good, fat enemy with neutral defenses that I can test my damage on?

>>171767283
in the other category. I guess the game categorizes it as other since its also arianna's dress so they put it in other along with her shoes to keep them together, but you find the dress in cainhurst and the description says its a cainhurst dress. it just a minor detail but it triggers my autism.

Thrust gems increase Visceral ATK DMG??

>>171770084
I could have sworn it was only your Skill that determines visceral damage, but I feel like I'm wrong. I think weapon damage is taken into account, too, but I might be making that up.

Some else answer and tell me if I'm wrong pls

>>171770084
>>171771658
Skill increases visc damage, the damage type of them is Thrust. So Phys and Thrust gems increase the damage. Since Thrust gems go higher than normal Phys (27.2% vs 32.6%), it's usually better to slot Thrust gems. Tricked Cane also increases Skill scaling to both the weapon and your viscerals, so it's the best weapon to hold while doing it. Heavies also give them Strength scaling.

Anyone need help with anything?

Mah Mensis left the church

>>171779178
School of Mensis comprises one of the two higher echelons of the Church, the other one being the Choir

>>171779537
They used to but by the time we visit Yharnam the church and the choir already fell while Mensis was still active and doing all sorts of rituals and memes
By beckoning the moon Mensis also contributed to the downfall of the church

>>171779809
This doesn't really refute the fact that Mensis was part of the Healing Church. I mean, absolutely literally everyone but us ends up dead or a beast, it doesn't really matter. Mensis was basically comprised of a single guy by the end because they had stillbirthed brains. On a technicality, the Church has Micolash.

>>171780549
>This doesn't really refute the fact that Mensis was part of the Healing Church
Never denied that, I said Mensis -left- the church

>>171780647
How and when? I mean, it's not really leaving if everyone's dead or mutated and you're one lunatic running around an alien nightmare world.

>>171780978
>How
By doing their own thing instead of church things
>when
When the church fell
Mensis is also not ran by a single person considering all the Yahar'gul hunters and Pthumerians that partook in the ritual
Mensis also actively hunted down church members like the choir member with the upper cathedral ward key and Adella

Blood-powered swords are a lame, stale trope, their signature katana is one of the least original weapons in the game, it's only saving grace is that bloodtinge weapons are limited as fuck.
Annalise is a pretty bland character, hides her (probably ugly) face and for some reason is wearing a nightgown instead of some majestic pompous dress that I'm sure Cainhurst wardrobes are full of.
She also factually friendzones you, and you might or might not be collecting some corrupted sperm for her to gurgle on, depending on your interpretation of the blood dregs icon.
Their connection to Hemwick is weird/too vague and doesn't have a coherent explanation. The chariot to Cainhurst could appear almost anywhere in the game aside from nightmare areas and it'd still work pretty much the same.
>meanwhile, the church weenies
Are using possessed breaking wheels, a weapon you've hardly ever seen in any kind of medium save for maybe that one executioner guy following Mozgus in Berserk. Their other weapons include transformer swords, werewolf mittens and mi-go hands.
Wear pajamas with a gilded traffic cone.
Their members are one of the most vicious bosses in the game, while vilebloods are limited to one NPC and a couple of mobs of which only bloodlickers pose an actual threat.
Play a major part in the game by being both allies and (for the most part) foes while vilebloods are irrelevant literally whos from a single optional area.

Their own thing was, like the Choir, the continuation of Byrgenwerth's ideals of experimentation into human ascension only the Church was blood-based while Willem quietly Insighted himself into a mushroom. Everyone's goal was Byrgenwerth's goal - ascend humanity, and the Church with its many bodies of organization, was looking into it in all the worst ways possible. Mensis' memery with melting people down into whatever One Reborn was supposed to be and beckoning MP with Mergo was their deal. Choir had Ebby and Celestial Emissaries to communicate through. The main church body doled blood out to people as medicine and experimentation.

And the church brought about its own demise. Its memebers would go feral and become Cleric Beasts. Nights of the Hunt consisted of rounding up militias of villagers to kill beasts. The church didn't really have a good plan for a anything it did. Let's keep doling out the beast blood to continue our problem and kill our own test subjects. It was absolutely doomed from the start the way they handled their operation, Mensis was off in its own nonsense, they didn't plan the downfall of the Church.

I never said Mensis was ran by one guy, but by the end, Micolash is literally all that's left. Everyone else is a mummy.

Mensis absolutely did, but we know Mensis and the Choir were rivals. This was also their endgame, this is the end of the ritual in a city falling apart, they took what wanted because hey, ascension is near. I just don't believe that was regular activity, but neither of us has a way to prove that. I personally feel like it would be a bad idea in a Yharnam that wasn't falling apart because you don't want the main body of the Church to think you're a threat and have the Asscone Brigade come knocking like they did another threat.

>>171782568
People who injected blood only turn into beasts when the moon is close. Mensis members inherited all the knowledge of Willem so they knew that but they still decided to beckon the moon despite the fact that it would have killed everyone in Yharnam and disrupted the church.
>by the end, Micolash is literally all that's left
They still have hunters and pthumerians. I'm also not sure if the other scholars are actually dead because of the chanting you can hear in the advent plaza before the ritual is uncovered. They could very well be ghosts like the gatekeeper in the forbidden woods.
The fact that Mensis and the Choir were rivals also proves that Mensis betrayed the church.

>People who injected blood only turn into beasts when the moon is close
People turn regardless. A few people every few months. Nothing spectacular. The Church Pick talks about 'old beast hunting tales' which implies that this is in the folklore, and would also account for such relaxed talk out of everyone about beasts this and night of the hunt that. Pretty sure Dweller even says this time it's different. When the moon is close, it goes to apocalypse levels, this happened once before in Old Yharnam (the note by the Charred Hunter set proves this). Mensis and the Choir are both Byrgenwerth 2.0, they're like the Church's active research wings while the rest of the Church is just that, a Church. You've also got to remember the Healing Church is buttfuck stupid because they continue to experiment with blood at all due to Laurence's belief that it was good for humanity. So, no, they're not betraying the Church (there's also no evidence not to say Mensis and Choir don't actually run the whole damn thing) precisely because this beckoning of the moon happened before. Only this time they want to be successful.

Well, Mensis as Pthumerians they dredged up for use, like the rest of the Church does. Kidnappers, Church Officials (cane guys, don't know their proper name) and Giants are all Pthumerian, they're labour. They have hunters, yes, that's true, but they're also just human kidnappers. I imagine it's more militia gathering since they're in rags and shit.
The chanting is pretty weird, I feel that's probably actual people, but they probably vanish. Or they could be some time/space weirdness, honestly don't know.
But Choir and Mensis being rivals doesn't necessarily mean betrayal, considering they might run it, I mean, there's plenty of inter-organization conflict in the real world and that's not grounds for breaking off from the body.

>>171787314
I believe that people only become beasts when the moon is close, and therefore the night of the hunt begins. Those who transform never go back to normal, and as we've seen in Old Yharnam some beasts survive the hunt. The chapel dweller says it's different because the moon has never been so close before, which is why everyone in the city goes mad and dies.
The Choir never betrayed the church, but I still believe that Mensis did because they kidnapped church members for their ritual. Their plan to ascend also didn't include the rest of the church, just Mensis.
You're right about Yahar'gul hunters and pthumerian, I wouldn't say that they really count as members of the school of Mensis.
All the scholars are dead in the waking world, Micolash included, but they might still exist in the nightmare in some form.

>>171788537
Like >>171789070 said, it was Laurence and his associates, back then they were Byrgenwerth. Honestly, Old Yharnam is probably fairly important to the split between Laurence and Willem.

The official guidebook says he's a spy from the Choir.
The Rosmarinus he's wielding also implies that.
The names written in the official guide could also be EpicNameBro's headcanon though.
