>bloodletter staggers maneater boars for four hits out of a five hit combo
That's some top shit.

First for nothing wrong with vilebloods

AWOOOOOOOO

Aye, reset my bell, let's see if that works

REMINDER TO PURGE FILTH

alright

Just got the game yesterday. Is it easier to fight Gascon in werewolf form w/o lockon?

Goddamn invaders finding me faster than SRRC

is the only way to get both Vileblood benefits and Executioner benefits to side with the VBs then kill Alph?

No

ENOUGH WITH THE HEMWICK WITCHES, FOR FUCK SAKE. TWO IN EVERY LAYER IS NOT FUN.

Cold abyssal farmers, do you have room left for one more?

yup

Absolutely! Pass is arcfag, feel free to join in

How do I stop Martyr Legorarerus from pounding me silly

Been away for three months, can't believe /bbg/ is still going strong.

love you forever hoontas

Nice, I'll be ringing.

I just got killed by a Brainsucker. I think I'm going to kill myself IRL.

uh...
how am i holding my gun, while 2-handing my Parasite?

like this?

youtube.com/watch?v=ACNVITrSMD4

Just once I'd like to make a fresh CRF dungeon and not have it full to the brim with fucking Hemwick Witches. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put those festering cunts in the dungeons?

yep

wut

Just noticed that, I had it happen to me with a Saw Cleaver, but the Saw Cleaver was insivible, made the tricking motion, made the sound, no cleaver, double hand parasite

ALSO

Ringing once more if you guys are up for Elder, got a right shite gem, won't keep you's all night I promise

Got a damp gem. Yesterday was the first time I tried farming them and I got a 65 with stamina costs right off the bat. After that a whole hour of shit. FeelsGoodandBadMan.

Thanks, host, appreciate it!

sure
i'm up for one more round

Noice!

Stupid question, the spreadsheet I'm following talks about Cold Abyssals with Arc scaling 22.6+ as the desired effect, but we're getting different stuff, is the chart wrong or am I really dumb about gems?

Ringadingin

How do I git gud?

Play through the game and through the chalices, and test a lot of weapons to find the ones that matches better your style.

Waifu?

...

I am really new to this as well, but I know for sure that you want the 65 one as they are OP. No idea about the 22.6 ones.

Pic related, these are OP tier. Arcane Scaling +65

How does he do it?

Arcane build here; What do I need to kill ludwig stat wise and weapon wise?

Currently 40 arcane and saw spear + 7 with fire gems

Wew lads, I'm gonna have to start these farming sessions earlier, it's nearly 4am here

Might pop on tomorrow and have a go at this lad again, get something decent

>tfw +35 arc scaling

Thanks for coming onboard! Farming isn't so bad when you've got two other broccolifams for the ride

just parry him bro

Fellow arcane scholar here, I just spammed EG till he died.

It's 5am here, British neighbour. Thank you for the host. Keep at it, you will get a good gem soon enough. The farm is not that bad really.

Does -Weapon Duration stack?
Please say no

Need help with amygdala in cursed defiled pthumeru. Pass is kosm

it stacks to a limit
omw

kek Irish, but honestly close enough seeing as it's Dublin

Thank you for the support, my mainland friend. Glad to help out a fellow hoonter!

>Irish

Sorry, if I have offended you. My sincerest apologies. Fuck the Brits I say.

dude needs some brush variety, this entire painting looks like it's been scratched by a cat

Got him! thanks for your help!

I think that's because at one point, the heavy and cold abyssals gave higher scaling than the number shown on the gem suggested. People weren't sure if it was a bug, and whether From would lower the scaling down, but instead they fixed the number displayed on the gem to match the scaling. Something like that, at least.

No offense taken! Sure, King George is long gone.

Also, just decided to take on Elder by myself, +65 scaling, low durability down curse, fuck's sake

He eats little babies ice cream

I am about to savescum zubap5d4
If anyone is interested pass will be kosmos

>beckoner steps on a trap and kills you

Did you get him?

Thank you all if you helped,I hate that cunt

No problem. Also, holy shit lol that session was like a set up for a joke

>a vileblood, an executioner, and a mensis student walk into a chalice

We got that cheating whore

Thanks senpai

Yeah it was lol,i'm a executioner at heart though.I just wanted to try a vileblood build for once

Redpill me on the difference between slow poisoning and rapid.

Both are shit

Bam

Redpilled

Rapid takes off a chunk of health at once.

Think of it like Blood Loss from Souls games that aren't 2.

Slow eats away slowly, Rapid takes a chunk instantly. Not as severe as Frenzy.

>first playthrough

BALANCED GAME

how do I do parties good

I have been stuck on matyr logarius dislike 3 hours now and I think it's time how yo learn this, even though it's been useless before

...

Practice.

Parries? Just shoot when the enemy is about to swing their attack. Some have wider parrying windows like the church goobers in Cathedral Ward. Practice on Brick Trolls in Yharnam and work your way with different enemies. Or practice on Logi. Distance can affect whether your parry is successful too.

>check the League Staff
>there's a guy who has crushed 17k vermin

How the fuck?

how do i get in here?
and the other door too for that matter, with the chanting madman

Autism.

Later,with a key

From a pure gameplay standpoint, is it better to go Vilebloods or Executioners?

Hunters > Viles > Executioners

>beat OoK on my first try yesterday with my bloodtinge build

Have I gotten gud?

Honestly both vilecucks and executioner runes are so shit there's no point in using either of them, go hunters

Vilebloods for extra Insight after killing Hunters. That includes most NPCs.

If there is one thing I do personally find to be flaw about Bloodborne is that it's camera lock-on is sometimes a bit of a liabilty.
It's just a minor nitpick really and it's only an issue against taller bosses like Cleric Beast, but it can get a little confusing when the enemy gets close to you.
There are ways around, you don't have to lock on, it s just a little unfortunate that the lock-on point is placed so high on the enemy.

Need help with laurence, password is b0ss. Ringing outside fog.

omw

I'll join too.

>Ebrietas charge
Is there even a way to dodge it?
I've gotten hit dodging once, dodging twice from far away, behind right next to her

Damn!
Lets try again?

As much as I agree with you on this, I managed to find a way around this. Lock on, and just don't worry about what you can't see, use what you can see (and in some cases hear) to its fullest.

By all accounts, this shouldn't work in the slightest, but I've found reasonable amount of success doing it. Basically, just use good timing to dodge when an attack is coming.

Need help with isz chalice ebreitas
pass is bbg

Got him. Thanks for helping the first attempt bud.

Ringing via SRRC

Well wish me luck, i'm trying to do the same
