Why are they cucks? Bloodstained white knights (Internet definition) fits more in my opinion.

Lone Survivor origin gives you 50/20/11/50/10/7 if you want to go absolutely all out on the minmaxing. 50/12/11/50/10/15 is also a thing if you like smoky dashes and beast roaring tools.
Adam Adams
I'm at 28 STR on a BLT build. Will that get me much damage from strength weapons like Amy arm and Kirk with autism gems? Really just for fun muckaround
I hope From's next endeavor doesn't follow BB in its heal mechanics.
The charm about dying 50 thousand times to a boss way above you is your endless suply of estus and the fact that you can just get back into it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. but with BB it's die die die die die die farm die die die die die farm
Samuel Hughes
How do you create a long, thin face in the editor? It always look either fat or round.
Liam Hill
Post; Damage stat you like the least The weapon from that stat you like the most and why Quality builds count as stat in this case.
Christopher Davis
Nothing more satisfying than blowing up Amygdala's head with a BMA Cannon shot and opening it up for a visceral
Xavier Baker
Does BMA work on the gatling gun, now? I remember it being bugged on that weapon.
Colton Fisher
Doing Ihyll now and ringing if anyone wants to co op. Pass is bbg
Skill- not that I dislike it. I just prefer everything else. Burial Blade. It's a sword with sexy sound effects that tricks into a scythe with a slick af moveset. What's not to love about it?
I think it only works on the first fired bullet, which is pretty useless. At least gatling can be gemmed and cannons can be BMA'd
Joshua Peterson
Why can't you shoot while stunned like you can roll, or like you can parry in ds3?

Guys I neeed your advice asap, what armor has the highest fire defence?
I would have killed maria SO MANY GOD DAMN FUCKING TIMES IF NOT FOR THAT LAST SLIVER OF HEALTH BEING TAKEN OUT BY THAT STUPID FUCKIN FIRE
Wyatt Brown
You get 2 in single player if I remember right
Lucas Reyes
>2 in Story Lecture Hall >2 in Layer 3 Isz >1 in Layer 2 Lower Loran, 1 in Layer 3 Lower Loran You need at least 5 to make both Ihyll and any FRC chalice. IIRC they also end up for sale in the insight shop after making the Ihyll chalice.
Isaiah Ortiz
Yeah I missed those in Loran because the guide said "no materials needed in this chalice" so I just sped through
Benjamin Carter
Farming at Hemwick is the best thing you can do in early game. Warp to Witch's Abode with 10 or so Blood vials, Oedon Writhe, Heir and Moon runes. Then visceral the 3 Axe Ogres and the one Brick Ogre nearby, then pop blood bullets and BHM back to the lamp. Repeat until you're out of BHMs.
With the correct runes and good luck, you should get like 15K Blood echoes and 14 Blood vials per a single run.
With Oedon Writhe you're also not using up your bullets if you want to conserve them but if you have a million bullets, you could also just use Blood Rapture to gain the health back from viscerals and use Blood bullets.
Carter White
Okay NOW I'm ringing in Ihyll. Pass is bbg
Luis Phillips
Counterpoint : I think Bloodborne's system is inherently better than the casual pandering shit of Dark Souls which allows you to just, as you said, beat your head against the bosses until you get through them as well as making conservation of heals and resource management pointless.
You don't have to farm in BB if you git gud.
Austin Gray
The only time I ever had to farm Vials was against Ludwig and even then I didn't completely run out because of the gate guy and the axe tentacle man drop them like candy.
Luis Price
The guide is handy but the video is even better since it shows where to go for each lever and where all the needed materials are in the bonus areas. Also it might be L1 Lower Loran which has the red jelly instead of L3
Robert Robinson
>as making conservation of heals and resource management pointless. You only have a finite amount until death so that's a stupid thing of you to say.
Furthermore, all it does is add the necessity of picking up everything you see and farming if you run out, neither of which are fun
On a side note, the game's been out for a while, has any one looked at any of the data and found out if the game does actually read your main weapon, and give you adept gems for the wrong damage type on purpose? >Blunt on thrust chars >thrust on blunt chars Literally every single time. It's clearly not a coincidence.
Christian Ross
Anyone help out with Abhorrent beast? Pass is bbg66
Ian Murphy
>Reddit format >You only have a finite amount until death so that's a stupid thing of you to say. Key point is "until death", so if you encounter a hard boss in Dark Souls you can just heal without a care in the world because you'll have more at the next bonfire, while in Bloodborne you have to think twice because you might die and not have enough for next areas, also, you can carry way more vials than estus so you're not completely discouraged about using them. >Furthermore, all it does is add the necessity of picking up everything you see and farming if you run out, neither of which are fun That gives a reason to fight enemies instead of just running past them without any drawbacks.
Michael Martin
>>Reddit format What? > so if you encounter a hard boss in Dark Souls you can just heal without a care in the world Bosses just stand still and watch you chug huh? >in Bloodborne you have to think twice No you don't, you just have to farm when you run out of shit. >also, you can carry way more vials than estus I feel like you need to chug twice as many vials as you do estus though. Maybe BB is just a harder game, but a lot of my boss fights come pretty close some times where I usually have half my estus left after a ds3 fight.
Or maybe vials just on't heal that much? >That gives a reason to fight enemies instead of just running past them without any drawbacks. Why on earth would you want that? I've put 400 hour into this game. Let me rush a character if I want.
Isaac White
>That gives a reason to fight enemies instead of just running past them without any drawbacks.
Yep, that was also the design philosophy in DeS : they allowed you to restock heals at enemies so the devs didn't have to pepper checkpoints everywhere like Dark Souls does with it's bonfire system.
DeS and Bloodborne had the most satisfying levels and I think a lot of that is due to the healing system which is balanced to give you a good number of heals and the ability to restock, but as a counter to that, they expect you to go for longer in a level without restocking to full.
In DaS3 especially you can see how they cut up a lot of the levels to unsatisfying bite-sized pieces because of the very limited heals you got and getting Estus back from enemies was unreliable.
Luis Phillips
>No you don't, you just have to farm when you run out of shit. Yes, some would consider this added incentive to not die because it's inconvenient.
Gavin Sanders
>Why on earth would you want that? I've put 400 hour into this game. Let me rush a character if I want.
If you have 400 hours in the game and still need to farm for vials, you're garbage at the game and should stick to Casual Souls 3.
>where I usually have half my estus left after a ds3 fight. Probably because DS3 was made with casuals in mind.
Carter Johnson
>Bosses just stand still and watch you chug huh? Bosses just stand still and watch you syringe huh? >No you don't, you just have to farm when you run out of shit. With that mentality, you will have to farm. >I feel like you need to chug twice as many vials as you do estus though. Maybe BB is just a harder game, but a lot of my boss fights come pretty close some times where I usually have half my estus left after a ds3 fight. Or maybe vials just on't heal that much? You are not using your rally properly, people often forget that but I love that mechanic. >Why on earth would you want that? I've put 400 hour into this game. Let me rush a character if I want. You can but you have to take the risk in doing so. Fight less enemies = have less items.
Anthony Perry
I never even get down past 14 vials on a boss unless it's some cheap fuck down in the chalices
Xavier Nguyen
>If you have 400 hours in the game and still need to farm for vials, you're garbage at the game and should stick to Casual Souls 3. I'm doing things ass end around, because I like the DLC better than I like the base game, give me a break. >casul >casul Don't have any other buzzwords?
>Bosses just stand still and watch you syringe huh? I don't get what you're trying to say >With that mentality, you will have to farm. I honestly find the idea that you have to think to clear areas laughable. Just hit things until they are dead, it's not hard. If you pull too many, kite. >You are not using your rally properly, people often forget that but I love that mechanic. No I love the shit out of rally, it's just that some weapon are shit for it. > Fight less enemies = have less items. Well yes, that's essentialy what I'm whining about.

Dylan Ortiz
>I don't get what you're trying to say I took issue with the idea that you could heal "Without a care" as obviously most bosses are aggressive
Firstly, Mr. Tactician, feel free to post your detailed plans in running through central yharnam on a new character, the patrol routes of the mobs, and the damage types they are weak to. Secondly, some weapons are complete shit for rally. Just look how superior hunter axe is. Thirdly, well yeah, I guess whining is a little unseemly

>I took issue with the idea that you could heal "Without a care" as obviously most bosses are aggressive I was talking about how your estus are a given and you don't ever have to worry about running out. If you use too many and think you won't survive, just die. Your max hp will receive a penalty but as long as you're not oneshot because of it there's no problem. >Firstly, Mr. Tactician, feel free to post your detailed plans in running through central yharnam on a new character Kill/die to werewolf, grab weapon, kill aways, grab items, say hey to Gilbert, take shortcut, kill fireplace away, kill two aways, kill four aways, kill big axe guy, open gate, say hey to Yosefka, kill asleep away, kill top of stairs away, kill ambush away, kill not looking at you away, aggro three campfire aways, kill two gate aways, kill dog, kill snipe away 1, kill snipe away 2, kill remaining aways and kill aways that come back after a while. Or just rush in and dodge bullets. >the patrol routes of the mobs First away goes back and forth, fireplace away stays put for a while but goes to join others after some time, two aways immediately go join campfire, four aways go back and forth, axe guy goes back and forth and you can actually backstab him if you time it right, Iosefka masturbates when you're not looking, a few aways will come your way if you take too long, two aways in the back go to the gate and back to sniper away 1 who stays put, a few aways will circle around sniper away 2. >and the damage types they are weak to. Dunno. Fire I guess? >Secondly, some weapons are complete shit for rally. Just look how superior hunter axe is. Unless it's the Cane, Beast Cutter or the like, they give enough rally for you to only use one vial after an attack, unless it's some bullshit like red spider or dogs. >Thirdly, well yeah, I guess whining is a little unseemly It sure is.

Especially when she gets knocked up > they give enough rally for you to only use one vial after an attack The thing about rally is you need to be quick. Lotta mobs have a quick two attack which means you can't rally back the damage you received earlier. Axe makes the most back the fastest.

Last one of my shitty webms. Thanks for putting up with me.
Benjamin Watson
>That's the route that uses less vials. You're not thinking at all. Nonsense, just don't get hit.
Jacob Reed
Then don't farm vials. Problem solved.
Luis Johnson
I'm pretty sure that if you spend your spare echoes after leveling on vials every time you go to the dream you can't run out of them.
Gabriel Myers
Played like a fiddle
Gavin Gutierrez
>He buys or farms vials and doesn't play without getting hit or using double mob rally to regain any lost health while teetering on the edge of death like it's survival horror

yeah, damn. you fucking obliterated me
Jacob Sanchez
>imypling it's the beginner areas I find myself running out of vials on It's the dlc right after I kill amelia with a +3 and grind bagmen for twin shards and the dlc hunters for radial +%12's
Brody Taylor
Just don't get hit bro
Brayden Cooper
Don't say that, It was luck mostly. How are those blunts for your best cuttah going?
On the topic, I remember only once getting out of vials while trying Logarius. I got so buttmad I came to bbg to cry like a baby and people called on my shit saying I should stop wasting my vials and play more smartly. And that's what I did.
It's not perfect, but I think the vials system is better than estus. You get punished for wasting them like an idiot.
David Williams
Eh, valid advice for all the mobs, though I do occasionally slip up and get clothesline by a beast cutter. The trouble is fighting the bosses while underlevelled with a +7 weapon at best and shit gems
Isaac Miller
Well at least Ludwig, the biggest gateway boss, gives you 5 vials each try.
Lucas Garcia
I mean you literally flattened me, didn't see that coming. I've farmed the watchers and a random red aura watcher and have gotten one 31 thrust gem for the pick but have not seen the first blunt.
Ryan Allen
You can get a +9 if you pick up all the chunks in Woods, Cainhurst, Hunter's Nightmare and Frontier
