Level 62 Ludwig
Please help me awaken from this nightmare

Bump

Is the Dream dead?

The georgrahy on this map is all wrong.

Where is the Forbidden Woods-Central Yharnam connection? Or the Yharhagul-Old Yharnam connection?

not really I'd say, also after finally beating Logarius with some help from someone, and finishing up the Alfred questline(RIP), decided to give both the Nightmare Frontier and the Hunter's Nightmare some exploration, ironically so far I'd say the Frontier is the harder one of the two(partially cause that damn witch managed to summon two freaking Hunters to go after me simultaneously, managed to kill both though, got killed by a Yeti boulder before I could find my way to the witch to kill her though), the Hunter's Nightmare NPC Hunter's on the other hand have been pretty easy to fight so far(in fact probably the easiest NPC Hunter fights I've had besides maybe Henryk)

also part of the reason why the thread is kinda dead right now might be cause I kinda screwed up making the thread, I forgot to put the Bloodborne General title in the Subject box

as the OP(kinda funny that someone still on their first playthrough had to make the thread), I agree that that map is all screwy, that's part of the reason I used it as the OP image, I knew it'd spark some discussion, would love it if someone made a more accurate map of Yharnam and it's surroundings

also quick question, is there any point to the Grave of The Dark Beast lamp besides allowing you to go back to the Dream right after you kill Paarl, or is that it?

You can use the Grave of the Darkbeast lamp to go through the back of Old Yharnam and befriend Djura

GUYS I FINALLY DID IT AFTER A WEEK OR TWO OF TRYING
I BEAT LUDWIG

Bump

This is just the beginning, two of the bosses you'll meet are even harder.

Anyone care to help me with Laurence? Password 3689. A nice fellow tried with me yesterday, but we were fucked everytime

If you're still there and you still need assistance, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

There in five, is that okay?! Password 3689

There now. Ringalingalinging!

I've been ringing my small res for a while now... You didn't run off and fight him without me, did you?

Still waiting, killing enemies! I'm level 135, if that has anything to do with it? And new game+. Passord is still 3689

Arya, wanna try Laurence again? And thanks with the invader, btw!

Wouldn't Iofeska's clinic be closer to the forbidden woods?

It's Oedon not Odeon.

Kosm

I thought it was Kos.

Best gem setup for the Bloodletter?

27.2s if you want an easy farm. Offshape blt gems if you're autistic and like rng fucking with you

This OP is pretty shit

It doesn't even have Bloodborne in it's subject, just the tag
You do know that there could be generals that also use bbg right?

youtu.be/1jShoqWr3z0

Is the DLC worth 20 dollarydoos?

It's worth every single one. All the areas added are amazing, four out of the five bosses are god tier, and the other one is still great, and a bunch of great weapons and a couple more fun tools are added.

yes

no

whats a good level to go into the dlc? also ng or ng+?

I'd suggest going in on NG about bl60-70, with at least a +9 weapon. NG+ first time is definitely possible, but it's a lot more difficult, so I'd recommend NG first.

Fuck yes

I went into it NGmax and it only took an entire fucking day to beat Ludwig :^)

can someone link the /bbg/ discord?

I keep getting fucked by witches because of their fucking invisibility. I was just searching for them, up on the high catwalk thing, when it did the AOE thing from below me. It knocked me off, and then AOEd again the second I hit the ground. I couldn't even see it until I was dead. Then on my way back I got camera'd by a brute with a brick. I'm so fucking mad right now.

Easiest boss in the game m80

When can the weather cool the fuck down so I can play Bloodborne again. I literally cannot get into Bloodborne when it's this hot.

Vicar is easiest. Everything leading up to witches is pretty easy. Witches have a shitty annoying gimmick that can fuck you over.

What does the number of messengers near the "depth" and "area" fields in the chalice info represent?

They show how popular the dungeon is.

Thought so

It doesn't exist.

lt does, but we don't want more people in our channel, btfo

>you can buy mats for higher tier dungeons only on ng+
Fuck my life

What is the absolute best way to farm echoes? want to reach max level.

i know its nightmare of mensis but i heard chalice dungeons are better but i dunno

Isz chalice layer 3

any specific glyphs?

no, the stock one

alright

if you want to reach max level i would recomend you just delete your save file and use the dupe glitch in pre-patch Bloodborne.

Even the best Echo Farming spot in the current game takes WAY too long in terms of maxing out your stats.
Descent getting all your stats to 50.
But to 99 i suggest you just dupe.

Can anyone help me with AB in the ailing loran? Hate that fucker. Ringing at the lamp, pass is bbg

>>>/reddit/

I checked it out user, literally nothing but faggots there.
You're not missing much unless you're one too then enjoy your gud times.

You still need help? I'll have to ring through SRRC, but I could get to it right quick if you need it.

Nah, thanks, I've just beaten him a couple of minutes ago

anyone have any cool lore theories?

so what kind of trick weapons would you guys design? i would make dual scimitars that transform into chakrams when put together

...

more gunblades

First time player here.

Decided to go Arcane and I'm currently level 40 and about to jump into a lake at some mansion since my friend told me to.

What should I expect?

a claw like weapon that transforms into a kama with chain (kusarigama)

getting raped for the rest of the game

>arcane
>first playthrough
Sounds like you're doing alright though.

If you're unspoiled, then the best part of the game is about to begin. Boss there isn't too hard though.

Why are the red eyed hunters respawning?
I thought they were like enemy hunters that don't come back?
Can't even farm them for vermin.

>first time player
>arcane

You've unfortunately taken the hardest possible route for your first time, user. Your best weapon will only be found at the end of the DLC. You'll also need to be grinding for the best gems to get the best damage from your spells and weapons.

But it's not possible! There is a guide for a good arc build, but it's pretty spoilery, so I'd honestly recommend just levelling whatever you want and having fun before starting serious builds.

You mean the ones in the Nightmare? The normal hunters there are like standard enemies.

a spiked mace similar to Tonitrus that you can extend with a long chain to make big swings.
I think there is a boss or enemy that has a similar weapon. I havent used the dlc weapon that I read might be simlar

A khopesh that splits to turn into scissors. Slashy moves when in one hand, pokes when in two with the L2 being the BIG SNIP.

Weak

Grind some more and pump up Arc to 99
Did you make sure to choose Cruel Fate as an Origin?

Fat purple face guy near the start of Hunter's Nightmare. His roll catch fucks me. Please inform me.

Parry him. That is about the only thing you can do to counter. Also run up and hit him when the cathedral doors are opening.

Honestly just fucking run, my man

So what would be the strength/arcane distribution for a hybrid build? Using the saw so far, working well.

Can I still enjoy BB as much as everyone else if I spoiled myself bunch of bosses and stuff
I haven't seen LPs, but shit like boss rankings and gameplay clips and cutscenes. I hate myself for being impatient

25 str/50 arc

>trying to play DaS3 to justify spending 70 eurodollars on a digital game
>physically unable to enjoy it

[CAN'T WAKE UP]

You can, trust me. I spoiled myself on all three endings and some of the biggest lore points, and it's still an amazing game to just experience.

I was actually hugely spoiled going in because I never thought I'd be able to buy a PS4, so I watched an LP. It's still one of my favourites games of all time, but I wish I could have known so I could discover the twist myself. You're perfectly fine knowing, it's still an amazing game.

I ran past him and got fucked by a firing squad.

No i was talking about the stronger red eyed hunters that drop vermin.
Theyre respawning when they supposedly are one time kills.

damn mnan builds in this game are weird, in dark souls those 2 would be flipped. with arcane that high should i also upgrade a tonitrus or wheel?

Wheel is the better choice, also get the HMLS.

>800k echoes
>build is finished
>vials and bullets at max
>all armor bought
What now

>no qt doll to cuddle with
just

Buy max of everything.

Who was Paarl anyways? Was he one of Archibald's experiments or something? He drops the spark Hunter badge, so it might seem like it

Use the Tonitrus for a 25STR 50 ARC build. That thing will fucking rape everything

Well seems I'm going to have to beat Logarius to get the wheel, even with my beefed up saw (thanks DLC for all teh free chunks) he can still fuck me up. Also what is HMLS?

Holy Moonlight Sword, you get it from talking to Ludwig's head with some kind of church-associated clothing on, or by killing it.

You could just kill Alfred to get the Wheel Hunter badge.

>He doesn't know

I think it's best if you find out for yourself. Leave this place and don't come back until you've beaten everything the game has to offer, going in blind is one of the best experiences in vidya I've ever had.

>farming FRC Isz's Bone Ash Hunter for good 23.1 bolt/fire/arc gems
F U N
U
N

I never understood what all the fuss was about Bone Ash hunter gems. Aren't abyssals better? Or am I missing something?

Oh fuck I just beat Ludwig on my dex account after a hundred tries I dont want to think of beating him again (although with a strength weapon it will probably be easier)
I've gotten to Laurence in the DLC, just forgot about the moonlight sword
Out of the wheel, whirlsaw, moonlight sword and tonitrus what should i spend my slab on though (when I get it)

+9 fire saw spear tears Ludwig apart. Ask for help here if you need it too.

You can also get another rock from DLC, I'd spend the two on Wheel and Moonlight Sword, but it really depends on what you like more.

PURGE FILTH WITH THE WHEEL

You still need a 23.1 arcane gem for the uncanny parasite

>2 votes for wheel
Guess it's time to embrace the wheel, Ill just get the whirlsaw to +9 for beast bosses I guess, because serrated weapons hurt beasts more right? I tore Paarl apart so fast with it +8 my fire paper didnt even run out

Either Tonitrus or Holy Moonlight sword

I haven't really tried the wheel, so I wouldn't know

My fuckers! Anyone need some co-op? Just +10'd and gemmed up a brand new Bloodletter and I wanna test it out.

Does the blood half of the Chikage scale at all with skill? I feel like I want another skill weapon just to mix things up a bit but while I'm sure the zipped half of the Chikage is perfectly fine I don't really want to waste time getting half of a trick weapon to a decent level.
