WACKETY WACK

>have 55 points into strength
how much did i fuck up?

A little, but could be worse. Hardcap for most stats are at 50 so as long as everything else is fine you should be okay

doing laurence in NG+ dlc for first time
>vit 35
>endurance 40
>strength 55
>skill 16
>bloodtinge 6
>arcane 9
think i should have been leveling skill in place than vit too

>40 end
You fucked up royally.

well i've always been more about rolling than getting hit in souls . vit its the last thing i always level up

You do not need more than 20 end in BB

well fuck me , ps4 isn't mine so i dont have time to make another char and start from 0

what armor set is that user? looks really good with milkweed

Madman's.

Yep, you done fucked up.
But still, why would you invest that much into it... Fights give you plenty of breathing space if you dont go full facefuck 24/7 so you should never drop below 50% stam with 40 end even.
You's not smart.

too much used to facefuck
with laurence best way i'm fighting him its staying close and rolling through everything

Its still usable. Just that heavy endurance investment normally gimps you out of investing in attacking stats/health. Plus there's runes to make up for the limited investment. I'd invest in vit for a bit if I were you though. Simply because Laurence is the king of shitty hotboxes and bullshit damage, and that's just in ng

Anyone got the comic with Rom as a human and Micolash?
Thanks

Why are the sack guys so sexualized

Because we live in a misandrist society.

>that jump

Considering 1-2 cursed abyssals, any weapon without split damage is viable for arcane? Been dying to axe this question.

We shall not abandon the dream

I want to do a challenge run, any ideas?

Yes, especially the spinning one.

Yes. Arcane scaling on convertible weapons is equal to the average of its Strength and Skill scaling +10%. So all convertible weapons roughly as comparable with each other on an Arcane build as they are on a Strength or Skill build.

No one can catch us, no one can stop us now!

No one can catch us! No one can merge us now!

please don't die on me /bbg/

For a fire saw spear should I be using lost or normal version? I have a normal +6 but I don't want to waste chunks.

The weekend hasn't come about fully yet.
Just wait a couple hours

Always go lost for elemental weapons.

Alright cool.

I was told to get an uncanny wheel for my arcane build so I just wanted to check.

Uncanny wheel is only good for multihit attacks like the tricked dash attack. Get a lost wheel if you want to use the full moveset.

Alright thanks. I'm going to get a lost whirligig as well.

What are the essential chalice dungeons? I'm currently fighting Rom in the lower Pthumeru chalice dungeon which seems semi important. Is there a point to checking out ailing loran or isz?

Yeah, it does. I've seen people with censored names.
I still think it's retarded since it's a fucking M-rated game anyway. Whatever happened to "online content is not monitored by the ESRB" or whatever?

I killed Eileen early. How do I grind 40k souls?

Go through the non-root chalices that aren't hindertomb.

Is there a way to cheese Eileen early in the game?
I'm gonna do a plague doctor-type character for my ARC build and I wanna get that mask early.
Should I just let Henryk kill her?

What's so great about lost weapons? What about elemental weapons makes it better to have one of each gem instead of 2 radials and 1 triangle/waning? I was thinking about doing an arcane build but I've never bothered using anything but base weapons

Go from the brick trolls near where you found the monocular. Kill everything between there and the temple where you get grabbed by Amy G.

It's good for farming bullets, vials, and echoes.

>Should I just let Henryk kill her?
That's the easiest way.

>Is there a point to checking out ailing loran or isz?
If you want to kill Queen (get trophy) you have to go through them at least partially for ingredients.

Elemental and nourishing radial gems are simply weaker than their triangular and waning counterparts.

You have to do either Lower Loran or Isz to get the materials for the last chalice. Ailing Loran is needed to do Lower Loran and get Bastards of Loran. Alternatively, you can buy them in ng+

Elemental radial gems suck.

No one uses elemental radials, cold abyssal radials are the same as cold abyssal triangles
the only reason to go lost is that abyssals have a higher chance to drop the lower layer you're on, and the farming chalice of radials has hmph on layer 3 and the chalice for triangles has hmph on layer 4

I wouldnt recomend missing out of her questline since its got some nice runes and gestures but...
You can cheese her the first time you meet her.
>Start off the encounter with mixing it up with backstabs and Molotovs until she aggros you. (get in as much damage as you can so she can die from gravity)
>run back to the rafters and stop around the ropes, on on the first beam, to the left.
>if iyou do this correctly she'll fall to the deepest pit in the room and take the most damage from falling
>if she survives just toss molotovs at her from above.

Get the doll set from the abandoned workshop and sell it

I'm thinking it's a pre-dlc or 1.08 thing, after thoroughly reading up on the bis gems of each shape for the elements, using a lost sacrifices a 27.2% dmg radial for a 24.8% + 15 flat crescent. It's likely an outdated meta, stick with radial x2 triangle.

How come bloodborne has better graphics than DS3?

Because From could focus on one HW configuration without having to think about multiple platforms and toasters.

Less re-used assets from last-gen games.

B team made msot of DS3, and they used the shitty DS2 engine for some reason instead of the based engine that DS1 and BB run on.

Ya'll niggas need to learn to link to new threads

>and they used the shitty DS2 engine for some reason
DS3 use BB engine though.
Also DS1 and BB run on different ones obviously.

Better art style, texture wise they're both fairly similar in quality.

No. Climb ladders in Dark 1 and BB side by side and tell me that isn't the same engine.

Then climb ladders in 3 and 2 side by side. They are extremely similar.

>texture wise they're both fairly similar in quality
I wish.

This has nothing to do with texture quality, it's texture design.

Just beat Cleric Beast and Gasoline.
Why is Djura so difficult?

Djura is harder than any boss up to that point including amelia and its because his health bar is retardedly large compared to yours

He's also way smarter than Cleric Beast and Gascoigne.

So.. I'm the retard who's been asking for help with Micolash the last two weekends... Still haven't beaten him.
So, again, anyone up?

>find the perfect female face online
>no sliders to go with it
;_;

i dunno if its about the engine , but sure as hell Das2 and DaS3network played alike and unlike des/bb

Cause BB was co-developed by Sony. The guys should know how to work their own platform.

>having problems with micolash of all people
le majestic face

anyway, just be on his ass at all times. if you fail to do this and he uses a call beyond, dodge like a madman towards him

The hardest and most frustrating part of ALL souls games is simply trying to make a character that doesn't look like fucking garbage.
Doubly so for female characters.
I've been here for fucking hours and i just can't get it right. Why do the fucking sliders have to mess with eachother so much? I tick one thing a few bits to one side and suddenly half the face is askew.
Fuck, this is pissing me off so much.

Yeah it's horrifying. Just pick a standard face you like, toy with it a bit, then give up, select the hair and eyes you want and just wear a hat or mask forever. I've never really been able to get it right.

My autism drives me to make it as perfect as possible and I hate it.
Nasolabial folds too dark under specific shading? Restart. Eyes slightly too slanted? Restart. Mouth is a bit too much of a scowl? Restart.
I've probably spent more time in the creator than actually playing the game, and i've beaten it 3 times now.
Why can't everybody just copy Dragon's Dogma's creator or something?

Search for other people's sliders and save yourself the aneurysm, user. Even if you think you've got it perfect in the character creator it'll come out all fucked up and discoloured in the actual game.

I've tried looking up sliders but they still don't quite get it right.
The best face i've found yet doesn't even have sliders to go with it.

The character creator of BB makes the best old men in vidya, try it.
The long coats and jackets of BB look best on cool grandpas anyway.

Similar problems, user.

My solution was to get my hunters as close to my mental image as possible, call it a day, and then just draw them the way I want them to be like since I'm a filthy drawfag.

>and then just draw them the way I want them to be like
Post them.

I've done a couple cool grandpas already, and yeah I agree that they actually look really good and are really easy to make.
Trying to make a decent looking young girl is what's giving me an aneurysm though.
If only I could motivate myself enough to get back into drawing.
Honestly the biggest issue would have to be the nasolabial folds always casting so much shade. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong that keeps causing it.

Anyone wanna help with Paarl? ringing near entrance password bbg1

ringing

Searching...

Cheers brethren, may the good blood guide you.

later my guy

I wish I wasn't such a perfectionist when it comes to drawing

No matter what I draw, I end up hating myself for being so bad and give up for the week

True fucking facts.

>Finally caved in and bought Bloodborne with the DLC of course
>Suffer through a thing that looked like Manus, a guy that turned into a werewolf and a beat who had meat flaps for a face
>Return to a place called cathedral ward
>New mob appears and one shots me with his sack
>Wake up in a creepy prison
Wow, what even is this game.

MALEDICTUS

>Wow, what even is this game.
The mouth of madness

If he casts ACB then wait for the moment where the star globe has formed and is right about to shoot out then dodge forwards. And don't be too far away when it happens.

If you're really getting owned by Augur then uuh idk dodge sideways I guess?

I'm in for a world of hurt aren't I?

who looked like manus to you? honestly i dont remember

The prison is full of the guys with sacks. have fun.

The face editor in every Souls game is fucked, most of the sliders control the wrong parameter. A good starting point would be a printout that detailed what each slider *actually* controls.

Leave this thread and do not return until you beat the game.

First boss Cleric beast, his hairy arm reminded me of Manus

Fuck me.

Okay then
