First for PURGE VILEBLOOD FILTH

Being a eurofag is hell on this site because it's dead as fuck everywhere during daylight hours

I'll be your friend during daylight hours, user.

Would I be able to use a Steak Dinner effectively with 50 Str and minimum Skill investment, or would I need Heavy Abyssals on it?

It'll be decent but it's better with a Heavy Abyssal or two.

It's viable with minimum SKL if you use Heavy Abyssals. It's far better with at least 25 SKL, but you'd still use at least one Heavy Abyssal anyway. Maybe two.

Anyone wanna do some gem farming together? Any gem from any boss, your pick.

t-thank you, user

I miss crazy pvp guy. I usually tried to find time to pvp in nightmare frontier when i see his posts hoping to invade him and get called out.

Are these lads Pthumerian then?

>that fucking image

Miyazaki you piece of

So DaS3's DLC is gonna be announced at 24th anyone excited for that?
DaS3 was quite a letdown for me after BB. I would rather see BB2 or a DeS remaster but i do wonder what will it be.

I'm looking forwards to the DLC. I enjoyed DaS3 quite a bit, never expected anything Bloodborne-tier. Definitely think the game could have been better, but I still sunk a hundred hours into it, much more than I did with DaS2.

Miyazaki is right when he said making more Souls would be a bad idea. The most I'd want is a DeS remaster that fixes that game's flaws, but anything else would just be over-saturation.

I'll probably just wait for a GOTY edition. I only played DaS3 for about 3 weeks, it couldn't really keep my interest.

Well it is confirmed one of the new IP's will have souls like gameplay but i wonder what the setting will be. I think it's gonna be something we did not expect to see at all.

he talked about doing something with sci fi but he could've been talking about armored core when he said that

I did buy the main game in PS4 but im going to buy GOTY edition on the PS4 aswell will there be any problems in my game or will it just recognize the disk as the main game+DLC's?

>Tfw its set on 1970's britain

Impossible to say. If it's like Bloodborne it'll have a few issues with being recognized and might have to make a few tweaks etc..

God damn it i hope i won't any recieve any problems but i am going to delete both of my characters anyway i hope no problem occurs. I should've waited i only bought GOTY edition of BB. Anyways thanks for the info man.

I preordered both BB and DLC. Got BB GOTY edition as a gift. PS4 recognized them as two separate games, game with bought DLC and preorder features and GOTY edition of game without preorder features, so I suggest you buy the DLC instead of GOTY edition if you want to keep your old saves and stuff.

Yes I got the money back after returning GOTY edition

I had BB and then traded it in for GOTY, I managed to carry everything over with a quick google search.

Oh than it's not that much of a problem in oly have two character one is SL76 other one is 28 and i didn't unlock that much achievements.
I was worried that my PS4 wouldn't recognize the disc at all or wouldn't recognize the DLC

is there any porn of ebrietas?

haha anyone know what her tentacles smell like just for laughs haha i'd like to smell them

what ever nebulas smell like with a hint of petrichor.

No

Dark Souls 3: Soul of the Kingslayer Knight will bring players into the forgotten lands of the Lost Knights of Odnol Rona where they will face such hardcore bosses as the Nameless Knights, Lost Lord Knight of Odnol Rona, Cursed Demon Knight, Knightslayer Drake and even the Kingslayer Knight himself...

...

John cena?

Somehow after 300 hours the game got boring...I don't know how I feel knowing that I will never play this game for the first time again...

So, Bloodborne 2 then?

...

you could always give yourself Alzheimers and experience it over and over again

I've been playing since launch and I'm still not sick of it.
I'll go through dry spells where I stop for a few weeks but I always get the itch soon enough and come back to it.

jesus chrism how horrifying

You won't abandon the dream, you never will.

I'll sometimes not play for a few weeks, but I always end up coming back for co-op or something.

underated

Not really.

Wish I could get my hands on Brador's bell.

You have it, it's called a Sinister Resonant Bell

Nah, Brador's has that eerie ring to it.
Plus he can invade people who dont have summons

Defiled Amy?
Pass: bbg

Would be pretty cool as a covenant.
Where you can invade like brador does anywhere in the hamlet.
Including that ringing sound.

Sure, I'll be ringing shortly.

I started, and died, ringing again

That ring is actually the same sound as the Beckoning Bell, go figure

With 50 STR and 25 SKL, what gems should I use for the Axe, Beast Cutter, and Saw Cleaver? One Heavy Abyssal and two 27.2%? Two Heavy Abyssals?

You'll probably get shitty "-hp" or other curses while farming abyssals, so try both set ups out on some common enemies.

one heavy and two 27s for the saw and axe
one heavy and two blunt gems for the beast cutter

Does any have a cheat sheet of sorts for Ludwig's second phase? I gave up using the blades of mercy after waking up today and going at it for twenty five tries just this past hour and even with the saw spear I still can't handle his speed.

Yeah
Youtube

Anyone have a gif of Gascoigne exhaling in his intro?

I looked it up and this guy isn't any better than I am, he just does triple my damage and can tank because he has double my health. I really shouldn't be taking him on at this level.

...

stand right in front of his crotch and dodge to the left

Look at a BL4 run, then you'll see how to kill Ludwig.

Also, he takes quite a while to start attacking after he turns into the Holy Blade, spam attacks in his crotch and you'll be able to do a visceral.
He's also a beast so serrated weapons and fire are extra effective.

Help me /bbg/, I've done more or less all builds focused around a stat and I'm not sure what to do on a new character now to have fun.

BL4

I honestly find the second phase much easier than the first. A good strategy is to get in close and circle him, avoid the explosions from the sword

Drop the fucking BoM, get a saw weapon, fire it up, Whirli annihilates him but you're probably not strength build

Ludwig loses beast status after he regains his humanity is something I've read.

He does. Which makes no sense since serrated weapons would still work in the same way as before. I assumed the logic around serrated increase was based on the beast's biology.

Fucking HMGS mutation, how do they work?
Requesting shoop of patches into pic related.

>WW1borne never
>Wild Westborne never

Rdr, moh, bf and cod would like some of your time.

Honestly I feel like Souls combat would be better for a WW1 inspired horror/fantasy. Slower, heavier combat to denote the relative primitiveness of the technology, every attack having to matter due to insanely high lethality, shitty improvised weapons, upgrade materials come in the form of military-grade metals and not just shit from blasted up farmer's houses.

I say start taking cues from the British movie Deathwatch, where a group of soldiers have to survive a seemingly living trench possessed by evil. All kinds of great WW1 imagery, bodies nearly unrecognizable rising from mud, stepping into liquefying corpses, barbed wire snaking around the place, omnipresent fog and purgatorial feel, good movie if you haven't seen it.

>norse inspired souls
>aztec souls
>chinese mythology inspired souls

This sounds exactly like the story I've been wanting to write for the longest time and haven't gotten around to. Would /bbg/ read it?

no

no

Loran BSB?
pass - bbg

>mfw I've been wanting to write a WW1 horror story for years

I feel your pain, brother. Seriously though, watch Deathwatch, it's a good movie, might inspire you to write that story. I'd read it.

On my way.

What's the best END for the saw-cleaver?

So I just got Bloodborne for £15 with no DLC and basically I suck at it. I am up to the Forbidden Woods and I just keep dying, I kill one group of enemies then move on to the second group and die. Progress is slow to say the least. I just came here because I browse a few generals and remembered this one, I have limited experience with the souls games (although I am loving the atmosphere and the lore of BB its fucking brilliant) So have we any advice on how I can go about getting good? A way to practice that is not just trial and error?

Pay attention and dodge
VIT is not a meme
git gud

Trial and error is the only way to practice.
Unfortunately, the only valid response to this is GIT GUD

How many umbilical cords do I need to eat to find this?

Don't jump into groups, try to lure them one by one. Or just run past them. Level Vitality to at least 20 for the beginning, you'll aim for 40-50 end game. You can live with base End if you're good enough. If you want more then don't go higher than 20 with a Stamina Rune or two.

yeah I saw some advice like that so I tend to use pebbles to draw one or two of them out and kill them, honestly though my biggest pain is the Kidnapping things, they fuck me up big time

Can anyone help me with ludwig on new game?
Pass:Crow

I had the same problem, dodge every move they make and try to back stab them. If it doesn't work try poison

They can be avoided as they're meant to stomp on newbies. Parrying works too, usually a visceral won't kill them so go behind them when they get up to backstab them.

are you at the fog?

Be there in a sec my guy

I use the saw spear and poke at them whilst continuously dodging, it works but it seems very sub-optimum

Yes

Just charge attack their back for a visceral whenever they're doing that animation they do after taking like 30% damage. You could do it again while they get up if it didn't kill them yet.

Whoever was helping me with ludwig, Sorry about that, I'll be re-ringing at the gate with the same pass (crow)

Capital C?

nevermind user i got it taken care of, However I'm sure i will need assistance for the next boss and call for help then.(also it's not a captial C its just "crow')

No worries dude, let us know if you need a hand with anything

I tried playing this again after BB, felt like I was playing Kings Field, still the best game.

My fucking BL215 co-op madman just got SRRC co-op in under five minutes, what the fuck

>Mfw noone shows up at the FCs anymore

Anyone need any help? I'm putting off Orphan of Kos because fuck that shit at the moment and want to co-op a bit.

...

It's always on at a bad time for me, sucks
