damn, that gargoyle right outside the lamp on L2 of pwmf22gu is amazing. He drops nothing but blood stone chunks and cursed nourishing blood gems up to +19.3% ATK UP, with a secondary effect. I just kill him and bold hunters mark over and over

yuck
can you still clip into willems head to see his braineyes? i've tried to do it many times but i always get tired of trying and give up
Jaxon Jones
Definitely prefer those to farming Rom.

I really want to use the HLMGS on my arcane build but do i need the 25 str?
Also is it worth to go past 50 arcane for the tools? I mainly do co-op and don´t care much about pvp, how is co-op at bl 117?
Caleb Jenkins
16/12/50 HMS is pretty underwhelming but still usable. You can easily get 25/25/50 at 117, but 25/12/50 is fine. Going past 50 is worth it for ACB and maybe Tiny Toni, anything else is fine at 50. I believe you can do 25/12/70 at 117 without any major drawbacks.

Jesus fucking christ, these brainsucking magic things in Upper Ward are utter cancer. Who thought these things were a good idea?
Parker Thomas
Why should Guidance 3 be in a chalice dungeon? Isn't it the only DLC rune? All the other DLC stuff is barely implemented into the dungeons; you just have the bath messengers selling the lost and uncanny versions of the DLC weapons now. When has a DLC item ever been discovered in a chalice dungeon before, as a drop or a treasure?
The rune either doesn't exist or it's somewhere in the regular game, outside the dungeons.
Mason Martinez
Ah, they're alright.
Jackson Lewis
Yeah I really hate the two who stand near eachother, where one of them drops the orphanage key. They always grab me there somehow. How much insight did you lose?
You can escape their grab for only 1 insight btw if you mash all the trigger buttons really fast

Please respect them!

...They steal insight? Of course they do. Great. At a guess...6? 8?
The ones in tight corridors kept getting me, I couldn't dodge their magical bondage spell.
Matthew Wright
>BL 98 meme meta redditards actually have trouble with Brainsuckers Typical shitters, how the fuck can you not dodge the painfully slow and telegraphed attacks? You should honestly kill yourselves.
Joseph Ward
yeah you've gotta ambush them before they can figure out what's going on; they are super dangerous to have aggroing you when they have line of sight. Fortunately they are usually pretty easy to stun
Blake Carter
> 23.4%
Nope. But I do have this.
Andrew Thomas
Upper Cathedral Ward is the scariest fucking place in the game. Hearing their footsteps the entire time that you're in the building is so unnerving.
Andrew Thompson
And if you are a true gem fetishist, you can blow your load to this every night before bed.
Bentley Rivera
So I fucked up and jumped in the widow after Celestial Emissary, I forgot to level up and I don't have any Bold Hunter's Marks. Is there a way out, or am I fucked?
John Rivera
Just got to Micolash. What a terribly designed, tedious fight. A shame, too, since nearly everything else up to this point has been so top notch.
Ethan Carter
Kill yourself, go to the Dream, pop a Coldblood, buy a Bold Hunter Mark and go back to get your echoes to warp out with.

I cooped that bastard. Now I feel bad for not soloing it because we pressured him like a bitch

Christopher Jones
Both of this posts were me.
Ryan Baker
I lost to Orphan on NG+ like 60 times before I finally figured him out. I can beat him pretty reliably now, but those first times he was really fucking difficult. Just stick close to him and dodge right or forward-right. You try and dodge backwards away from Orphan after he knocks you down and he will fuck you up. Even when you need to heal you should be dodging into him.
For his second form you should fight him in the water so you can easily dodge his lightning summon. Just wait for him to attack, dodge it so you end up close to him, hit him until he swings at you and jumps away, repeat. It's easiest to hit him after he does his jump attack combo; he seems to get exhausted after doing it.
Adam James
So where is the fightclub on Saturday? Pthumeru root?
Cooper Mitchell
>Tfw beat NG+ Orphan first try
Nolan Lee
if it was your first try against him ever then I'd be impressed. I fought him on NG+ without ever seeing him in NG, and just using some shitty blood gems from the story, so I had a rough time
Ethan Barnes
Fuck Micolash as a boss. What I hate the most is when he just keeps running around jumping through mirrors going "WOO HOO HO HOO" and he absolutely will not go into the boss room where you're supposed to fight him. I chase him around for like 3 minutes straight and get smacked by one of his stupid skeletons before he finally does it.
His first little fight is trivially easy as long as you don't get hit by his tentacle, but his second you can die really fast if you give him enough space to summon A Call Beyond (little orbs of light). Fortunately you can just stay close to him and he will keep swinging at you with his fists for like no damage. Still his tentacle can one shot you if you walk into it
William Edwards
25skl/25str/50blt for bloodtinge build good?
Gabriel Stewart
>and he absolutely will not go into the boss room where you're supposed to fight him You're supposed to chase him into the boss room by approaching him from another route, idiot. If you just keep running after him, he'll just be going in circles until the AI glitches out and takes a wrong turn. Or maybe the devs just took pity on poor retards and made him automatically run into the right room after some time.
Jackson Barnes
No, either 14/15/50 or 28/15/50. You won't use the untricked modes of Chicago and Bowblade unless you went 50/50 Skilltinge.
Nolan Barnes
If i get a ps+ are u going support me and watch my back and scold me and pleasure my wee wee after defeating a boss bbg
Leo Cruz
>there are people that don't go 50/50 skilltinge
Tyler Ward
Sure, as long as you pay for my PS+ as well.
Brody Reyes
I can pay for 3 more people but they have to make sure theyre always available when i need them
Colton Rodriguez
Why should circling around make any difference as to whether the turns into the boss room or runs past it again? It's not like you can actually corner him
Jose Lopez
>on my second playthrough >do chalice dungeons the second I can >get to BL85 before Rom >the rest of the game is completely trivial Damn. I guess it is NG+ content.
Mason Gutierrez
Because it does, the game is made that way. Like in the second half when he jumps down from a balcony, if you jump right after him, he will be running in circles. And if you jump down from the different side of the balcony, he will end up between you and the boss room. So when he will start running away from you, he will be running in the direction you want. Sure, if it was an actual person, he'd just run left or right, but since it's a video game, the boss follows the rules that let you corner him into the arena.
Nathaniel Ross
It really isn't. Gehrman tells you about the good chalice as early as Old Yharnam or Cathedral Ward. The gems you find in the main story are absolute shit.
Nathaniel White
But my playthrough is ruined, I went through Ludwig like he was a regular mook even though he killed me 30 times during my first playthrough.
Daniel Sanchez
That's only because you were playing the game wrong the first time. But now your eyes have opened to the Japanese way to play video games - grind until you're overpowered and enjoy stomping bosses.
Justin Jenkins
Why is this game so good? Fishing Hamlet is so comfy also.
Adam Cooper
I didn't grind. I just went through the dungeons as normal. It isn't my fault that Loran dungeons give me 200,000 blood echos by going through the levels normally. Am I supposed to not spend them?
Jeremiah Wood
the tinge one you find in mesis is pretty good for chikage if youre fucking around with that if you havnt got to the lost one yet though
Jaxson Hernandez
>Mensis That's the last area of the game. You're literally fifteen minutes away from the end.
Benjamin Evans
The game is surprisingly comfy, probably because of the contrast between the horrible things you fight and the areas you can rest like Hunter's dream + lanterns, I just wish there was a place hunters could actually sit down to rest casually or something
Darkest Dungeon had the same kind of feeling, and /dadg/ rivaled /bbg/ in terms of comfy, but now all that's left is shitty threads on /v/ for people to spam "shill" on
Gavin Nelson
darkest dungeon sucks.
Eli Morgan
but... fuck you :^)
Cameron Jenkins
that is your opinion, I enjoy it
Sebastian Gutierrez

Bentley Edwards

Tyler Howard
It's the rain and the colour scheme. You're surrounded by demented, twisted horror but you're not the one that caused it.
You just get to be comfy in it.
Brandon Green
i know this is autistic but ive always wondered how close yharnam is to the real world and how close the rest of the world outside of yharnam is to the real world. like for example we know they likely have robins as that thing in the research hall mentions them
Jeremiah Peterson
Ludwig asks if his healing church hunters are the "honorable spartans he's raised them to be", so I guess that means ancient greece was a thing or they just wanted to write some nice dialogue and didn't really give 2 shits about lore implications
Nathaniel Kelly
I'm done with my 1st playthrough. 70h (probably ~30 with pad lying down), DLC, spoiling myself, summoning, almost no touching chalices, and other retarded, casual shit. Game is great, most fun of all the Souls games I've played(DeS,DaS1,2). Now time for some in-depth lore analisys and new character creation.I have no idea what to think about endings though. Sorry for blog.
Benjamin Smith
Yharnam is as close to the real world as a fictional world in a video game in a real world.
Matthew James
>not understand what i mean or being even more autistic to see what i was asking like that
Gavin Robinson
just don't make a youtube video for your lore analysis
Isaac Torres
what is your favorite bloodborne meme? :^)
Adam Cruz
It at least has all of the same animals and mechanical inventions up to around 1850ish, just with the added bonus that their gods are actually real and do tangible things.
I can't think of any animals or machines that exist that would be out of place that can't be explained away as blood magic
Noah Wood
Why are hateful maggots so hateful, /bbg/?
Elijah Richardson
The endings are pretty straightforward if you look into the lore as long as you don't ask why MP decided to fuck with shit
Henry Roberts
...
Nolan Jones
Bloodborne itself.
Bentley Moore
This is the one enemy I will not fight both areas they show up in I sprint through and don't even try to fight anything. Fuck their hitboxes, fuck their speed, fuck their attack, fuck the fact that they only show up in groups, fuck the fact that they give you like 20 echoes total.
Truly the worst enemy in the game.
Nathaniel Myers
people really just like putting this dancing anime girl on everything
Henry Brooks
Nothing but wrath here.
Hudson Sullivan
>not the red spiders and bell ringer in chalices
Asher Cruz
Probably Micoposting.
I think the souls games have better memes though
Landon Scott
>tfw no chime maiden that spawns red maggots
Lincoln Nguyen
I can deal with that, just sprint and kite them around while until you kill the bell ringer then you're instantly safe. Plus you can always funnel them through a door til theyre thin enough to get by. Maggots are a guaranteed fuckfest every time, they're like if dogs were immune to half of your attacks
Ian Sullivan

Angel Ramirez
Parry spam. Parry windows are huge in this game.
Nolan Sanchez
Parry spam and if you suck at that half the fight you can really easily get him stuck on the other side of the graves because he's too stupid to go around
Ethan Bell
Does smacking people with an arrow using the L2 of Simon's Bowblade do blood damage?
Henry Thomas
Yes.
Nathaniel Barnes
The town is surrounded by lakes and mountains, however Valtr and some other dudes hunted a beast back to Yharnam. Pretty isolated but from time to time some outsiders come in, similar to Innsmouth.
Henry Jenkins
not sure but... >spamming arrows at a guy in pvp >go to parry him with my gun >spamming L2 but im just waving my arm around >no idea wtf is going >finally realize whats going on .
Kevin Clark
I don't think there's an NPC I love more than Alfred. His dialogue after completely destroying the queen is the greatest thing in the game.
Hunter Jenkins
>that small circle that turns yellow once your weapon is tricked
How long did it take you to notice?
Ryan Price
I had to google it.
Robert Hughes
too long
Brandon Jones
So someone explain to me why every weapon scales D with arcane but gains no damage from the arcane stat?
Angel Lewis
Time is convoluted and hunters centuries old phase in and out of existence.
William Murphy
its for if you convert it to arcane based damage like fire
