I'm clearing through Chalice Dungeons for the first time, i have a few questions
Root Chalices are just randomised versions of the same difficulty as their chalice, and sometimes have different versions of weapons with alternate gem slots right?
Is there any point doing them, outside of these alternate weapons?
I'm interested in looking for the very best gems, which i hear come from Depth 5 Chalices - do you have to do the 'Root' Chalices to find these gems, or are they in the regular ones? Is this something to do with the fact that you can only 'Curse' Root Chalices with the materials? So the best gems only drop in cursed Chalices, requiring me to do Root ones to collect them?
Will i miss out on any bosses by not doing the Root Chalices? I want to at least beat every boss in the game once.

Micolash is my wife!
Kevin Jones
Too busy preparing my self for with the Dark Souls 3 DLC.
Jayden Roberts
Some bosses like pthumerian elder is only found in root chalices.

>tfw no PS+
Dominic Howard
Ok thanks, so basically, aside from if i need any alternate weapons, there's not a lot of point doing them for the 'experience' so to speak and i should only bother doing Specific Depth 5 Cursed ones for Gems?
On the offchance anyone knows, is there a desired version of BoM/Scythe for a Skill build? I'm just using a full set of 23.3% Kin Down Droplets in both weapons atm
Aiden Barnes
>time for leaden constitutions What did he mean?
Brandon Gray
Not just alternate weapons. Runes as well. But yes, the best chalice gems from Depth 5 FRC dungeons. As for the BoM/BB build, go with either 25/50 STR/SKL, or 50 SKL with three 27.2% physical Tempering gems. Use an Uncanny Burial Blade, and whichever BoM version has Radial/Radial/Triangle. Get the 27.2% Radial gems from an FRC Ihyll glyph with Merciless Watchers, and the 27.2% Triangle gems from an FRC Isz glyph with the same boss. No Waning because Merciless Watchers don't appear in Loran, so you can't get 27.2% Waning gems outside of offshapes.
Owen Martinez
Regular BoM is Radial/Radial/Triangle so that's handy
I'll shoot for an Uncanny Scythe then thanks.
I just kept my STR at 10. I wanted 50 Vit, 15 Arcane. So I'm 50/14/10/50/10/15 - i wanted to stay at level 99
I'm running HP Up 10%/5% at the moment, so it would be nice to grab that 15% one too, i kinda forgot about Runes.
There's a better Stam one than 15% too right?
This will probably take ages but i want to truly 'finish' one build
Robert Cooper
>There's a better Stam one than 15% too right? Yes, it's 20% and it comes from a Lower Loran glyph. I don't remember the glyph exactly, but you can find it in the OP. The Uncanny Burial Blade comes from a Sinister Lower Loran root, also in the OP.
Isaac Foster
I'm playing a pure skill build. What are some compliments for the Rakuyo?
Camden Jenkins
In pvp Rakuyo doesn't really need complementary weapons Repeating Pistol and/or arcane tools can be useful with it
Nolan Bailey
Maria's clothes
Owen Lopez
In pve?
Lincoln Stewart

William Parker

Wyatt Jenkins
BLADE OF MERCY
Seriously, every other weapon in the game just feels shit and unfun to me now
The dash attacks are just too much to quit
Also Rakuyo is boring and gay
Caleb Davis
How many players did you encounter in the FC? I'm at 4 currently
Xavier Wood
I think I'm lagging really bad
Ian Clark
I think I'm up to 5
Christopher Morris
>tfw can't play BB right now because my roommate is borrowing my PS4 controller for a couple of hours I feel liberated, somehow. I'm playing Demon's Souls.
Jack Ramirez
yep, I just lost connection to the network but still spawned in somebodies world. How I died made no sense
Angel Powell
...
Josiah Perez
Same thing
Jaxon Cox
Anyone down for some low level Ludwig? BL 37, pass is majestic
Jeremiah Cooper
Fog, first lamp or church lamp?
Jordan Lewis
Church lamp.
Wyatt Mitchell
Chalices are actually really fun. A lot less of a chore than i thought they would be
bloodletting beast was awesome and so was the dual sickle dude
>hit Bloodletting Beast in the head with a fully charged R2 from Burial Blade and Visceral for half his hp
Skill builds are fun
Leo Evans
Regular dungeons get old quickly, root dungeons are always tons of fun
Carson Bennett
well i'm just heading through them for the first time now
looking to just clear all the non roots then go hunting in roots for stuff i need
i imagine they'll become drastically less fun when i have to start grinding them and curses start to come into play
Samuel Williams
>bloodletting beast was awesome I refuse to believe you. It was hands down one of the least enjoyable bosses in the series for me. You gotta go unlocked and hit his legs, but you can hardly read his attack patterns because he's just too damn big.
Adrian Reyes
Curses only make them more fun, grinding is boring though
Grayson Davis
They are fun but after 10 characters worth of farming it gets old
Carter Hughes
Thanks a lot, man. Do you wanna run through more of the DLC by any chance? I'm mainly doing this to get Bloodletter.
Aaron Jenkins
>you can hardly read his attack patterns >drags his hand behind him and walks forward, then swings
??
I played mostly in front of him at mid range with Scythe and got hit like 4 times max
Yeah figures
I've ran into a bit of a roadblock though, i cant go and do the 'Defiled' Chalice i got - i dont have the materials. It wants Bastard of Lorans, which i'm gonna guess are found in Loran Chalices
Should i go straight to them or do Hintertomb/Isz first?
Isaac Morales
He's easy as hell to read though, most of the time you could either bait slams or the 2 swipes. It's a pretty cool fight imo.
Zachary Phillips
I can't right now. Good luck on the Research Hall, user.
Parker Ramirez
Go to Loran
Charles Taylor
I need more Haze. I know i can extract it from Chalice Materials - but which ones are plentiful enough that i wont miss them?
Ethan Robinson
Hintertomb is optional, not required for Depth 5 and is really only for Madman's set. You'll have to do Ailing Loran from Amygdala in Frontier.
Daniel Brown
That's cool. Thanks for your help with Ludwig.
Jose Collins
The ones you can buy with blood echoes
Justin Flores
Early Ritual Blood and Tomb Mold like (1)'s and (2)'s.
Matthew Nelson
You can
Brayden Lee
Oh. Of course. Thanks
Probably shouldn't have spunked all my souls on getting a lost/uncanny version of every weapon even though i wont use them
Eli Sanchez
Me too, it looks like there's exactly 6 of us today
Sebastian Butler
Does hintertomb Elder drop arc gems?
Tyler Nguyen
It drops cold arc scaling gems, I think
Daniel Perry
Nothing worth using
Jace Garcia
Yes, not very good ones though since Hintertob doesn't have layer 5 dungeons
Angel Russell
Nize
Jason Reyes
Yeah, but they are obtainable pretty early. Good for early parasite
Ayden Sanchez
Still not worth using, you're better off not using Parasite till FRC or Mergo's for the 15% Radial Nourishing and 18% Arc Droplet. Colds are only good at +65
Christopher Hernandez
Is the FC still going?
Landon Powell
Loran
Evan Allen
yup
Zachary Thomas
Man idk why, but I just love the fucking Constable Garb. Also, loving my 99 ARC run so far. Havent had to summon yet. Im shocked how quickly Amelia went down. Hope my fellow BBGents are having a solid night.
Nicholas Long
>that face Why do you guys keep trying to make your ""waifus""
Daniel Torres
>99 ARC run >12 Insight
Evan Diaz
Anyone wanna help with Living Failures? BL 40 pass is majestic waiting at Research Hall lamp.
Carson Price
Jesus Chrism Faust your internet is ass. I have 99 insight and it still isn't enough eyes for that shit.
Hudson Ortiz
I know sorry
Isaac Wilson

Camden Nelson
Anyone want to hit Central Yharnam with me? I'm bored
Hunter Hughes
H-HE'S FAST
Easton Harris

Owen Collins
No mercy for frenzy
Carter Bell
Still need a hand m80?
Eli Myers
Whats wrong with it? I just like the style
What am I doing wrong senpai?
Colton Hernandez
You need 99 insight minimum
