How do I git gud at BB?
I've nevere played such games before.
Paarl completely wrecks me. Also, where do I farm health potions?

fuck off chinatsu you evil cunt

reposting from last thread

I doubt you guys care but im going to say it anyways, there is going to be another nioh demo to try out this weekend, you can preload it today and play it friday night. The preload demo has already been released in Jp ,EU, and latin america and will release on the NA store later today. It going to be called : Nioh- Last chance

wow

shill
thanks for letting me know though

Can someone help me out with defiled hotdogggo?

pass: bbg

Need help with the exact same boss, summon for summon?

hows my hmls for my 25/50 str/arc build (made it as autistic as i can in about 3 hours): ATK up 19.5% phys 7.8 atk vs kin down 10.1%, atk up 21.5% add phys +15 atk vs kin down 11.3%, atk up +21.5% boosts rally 2.8% increase stamina cost 3,2%

Reminder that this is a general for BB. If you wanna shill Nioh make a bread on /v/.

Is Nioh any good?

>hotdogggo
>not fire doggo
get out

>nioh shitposter is even in /bbg/ now
AWAY AWAY

I've been ringing, you there?

Does anyone have that shooped image of the boss health bar where the name text is "Kos, or some say Kosm"?

i know. there is a thread on /v/ but i wanted to let you guys know there will be a demo out if you were interested in nioh but couldnt play the demos last time
i like it a lot but you can try it out for yourself this weekend

>unironically doing hintertomb

Nioh is going to be a garbage clunky souls ripoff

Why the fuck did you make a new thread? The last one didn't even hit the bump limit.

is there any reason to do hintertomb other than to be hipster trash?

It already is. Combat is pretty decent, the bow works very well, don't care for the movement or the meme-tier lethality where you die in 2-3 hits and everyone else takes 5-6 at least, which exists solely for hardcore elitists who define difficulty as quality. Also, no atmosphere. One of the most important part of Souls and Bloodborne is atmosphere.

>doesn't want madman's set

>tfw to smart too like NiiO

Maria-tan..

yeh

>beat game for the first time

>God damn, what a great game, I'll go back through with a pure arcane build this time

>pick the threaded cane for variety

>suck shit

>beat head against central yharnam and the cleric beast for like 4 hours

>"Fuck this, I'll go die to gasgoine for variety"

>Kill him first try

Wh-what

...

Oh hey, thanks, I'll probably try it out.

Yes, and?

Gitgud by changing your L1 with circle button via the accessibility menu, also by practicing the game because you will only get better over time. Farming for health potions can be done by getting a bunch of blood echos and buying potions with them. Chalice dungeons are a good source of blood echos, but you might not be able to fully utilize the dungeons this early in the game.
the L1/Circle swap is purely experimental and boils down to personal preference
May the good blood guide your way

>John grimshaw
my nig

I've only done chalice gems on one character and it's an arcane wheel twink.

I'm gonna make another character with chalice gems. What should I make?

wew

Can I equip multiple lvl 3 metamorphosis runes? Can I even more than one in the inventory?

No, unless there's a glitch I don't know about.

You can equip any rune you find, there's no pre-requisits save for actually having the rune tool from Hemwick. You can equip level 1-3 runes and they stack. Of each type of rune (metamorphosis, deep sea, arcane lake, etc.) there's three levels (I think there may be one or two rune types with four levels). You can equip and unequip runes in the dream any time, they're not permanent.

What is the best secondary effect on a gem? Flat damage?

So I want to nab the Logarius Wheel for my Arcane build. Can I just kill Alfred in Cathedral Ward for it?

ATK vs open foes UP, most definitely.

If you have two of them at ~5%, it turns your weapon into a monstrous critical hit machine. You do like 40% more damage on counter hits vs regular hits

if you can beat him, sure

The wiki says I have to wait for him to move to his second location? Also, how tough is he?

What do you buy with your blood echoes, /bbg/?

yeah I guess you do have to wait until Amelia or you'll just get fire paper.

I fought him at the end of his quest when he had the wheel and he was really fucking strong. Never fought him in cathedral ward; over there he has a Kirkhammer and he's supposed to be much easier. My bad, I thought he would be like he was when he had the wheel

Everything

this I always 600 bullets/vials and then I spend money on any other thing until my storage is full.

I wont stop leveling up one of my characters until I get 99 VIT, 99 ARC, 40 END and 50 of everything else. It seems extremely pointless to level anything else beyond that.

I already have 99/99 + 99/99 of every item you buy with echoes, and I'm starting to get to that point even with consumables you gotta buy at the insight shop (just from finding them)

why is it considered preferable to use two cold abyssals and only one fire/bolt/arcane ATK UP gem when converting a physical weapon to elemental? I thought the scaling effect can only do so much past a certain point? Why wouldn't a second percent-based gem be better for damage over a second arcane scaling abyssal?

you mean to say that ds3 used a shit ton of assets from bloodporne?

Someone help me out with defiled doggo? pw bbg

people have trouble with cleric beast?

You will never be able to beat it, anime-kun, just accept it.

>Also, where do I farm health potions?

>Spawn at the Great Bridge (Cleric beast)
>Go to the shortcut house to your right, killing the ogre and werewolves.
>Kill the two guys on the 2nd floor of the house, and the dude on the 1st floor (wheelchair guy too if you need 4 bullets).
>Exit the house and kill the 2 ogres, take the elevator down to Gascoigne.
>Go under the bridge, kill the pig, go back up behind him.
>Kill shield dude and Fireball ogre, his fireball killed the dudes on the bridge, if you see glowing items go check on them (I usually don't, too far off).
>Kill the two wolfmen before Gascoigne, you can backstab the first one easily if you walk slowly.
>Kill yourself by jumping down the ladder coming up from the pig.

Echoes will be at the top of the ladder/close to the wolfmen, you respawn at Cleric beast and you get around 30/40 vials each run iirc.

Because it does more damage this way.
It's true that scaling will do no good past a certain point, that's why you only put one Heavy Abyssal when doing STR builds, but most weapons have poor arcane scaling so another Abyssals is preferable. Notice that arcane weapons like wheel and moon sword don't require them.

I'm a different person though, and I have defeated him before but my save ggot corrupted

Needs to be updated to say two weapons with the Bloodletter being a thing.

fucking cannon undead giant is such a cheap asshole

he just shoots his own feet when I'm near him or attacking, and spams his cannon when I'm not. Nowhere is safe. I hardly have time to stop sprinting just to take a potion without getting clipped by one of the explosions

>the shockwave smash that hits behind him

I fucking hate when they give smashes aoe.

I HATE it user.

Starting a BL4 run, any tips?

>I fucking hate when they give smashes aoe.
try playing let it die :^)

>there are hunters who raise END above 15

>>there are hunters

What if Bloodborne 2 was exclusive to switch?

It's going to hurt
What if you never posted again

>15
Might as well stop at 13 if you're not going to go to 22. I bet you level vit all the way to 50.

First girl character, how did I do?

She's got a big ol' mouth

Bruce Jenner?

HAHA

Ain't got shit on my Lucy Liu

Absolutely disgusting

Fuck

back to character customization I go

at least its not as bad as mine
>tfw too intelligent to make a girl that doesnt look masculine

...

Just put a Yharnam Hunter hat or something similar on it

Thanks for making me feel better about mine lol.

Don't feel bad, this was my first and last

Very nice

Doesn't look bad honestly maybe I'm just weird though since I thought mine looked good

Good luck ever creating a decent looking female in BB.
My flat mate helped me create my first character. Right after we had Wendy's.

wow the holy moonlight sword with kinhunter / beasthunter gems absolutely devastates beast / kin bosses

Holy fuck lol

Who would have thought kin/beast hunter gems were effective against kin/beasts.

And just when you think you have the character creator down, you think you make something nice.

This is probably my "best" female looking character. I hate this character creator so much. Thank god the in game fashion is top notch.

This looks like Lucy's American football waifu, just better done

Like I said, that was my first ever character when I was new to the game. Didn't spend to long on it, but my friend wanted to make a ginger. So we did.

they put so many weapons in the DLC, and some of them are really fun. as someone playing through this game for the first time, im kinda annoyed that i stuck so closely to the vanilla weapons (basically only used cleaver/axe) and have only just now (as the game draws to a close) have got a taste of all the new shit, but i guess it basically forces me to do a NG+ run at least...

this saw-blade thing feels way too strong...

they're usually outclassed by other gems on most weapons

on HMS though it's like having a 32.6% or a 27.7% nourishing gem

>32.6% nourishing

I fucking wish.

Yet you outdid him on your first try. There's a source of pride for you

How's mine?

Have I had a warped view of my characters?

Is my old man good atleast?

every rune has 3 types apart from communion and formless oedon which have 5, and guidance which only has two (third may exist but has never been found). you cannot equip the same rune more than once even if you have multiple copies, but the same rune of different strengths can be equipped in all slots ie you can use communion +3/4/5 for an extra 12 vials

I like it

meant for

This is good

I like diving in hard with long combos, not poking in and out.
