If there's one thing I don't like about the visceral attack system in this game, it's that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which enemies can be parried and which ones need to be broken. I just did BSB and he can be parried, but the Abhorrent Beast that's about the same size apparently cannot.

Luis Hill
do you ever blank out during co-op? I just did due to some fucking horrendous lag. also done it because I get summoned for amygdala or watchdog and they summon an old hunter
Evan Ross
Only if I actually get called away and would need to put the controller down. I've never purposefully blanked out of co-op, I'd feel bad.
Robert Morgan
I fisted the pig to death, at Layer 2 now.
Josiah Collins
>Mother Kos How will Kosmfags ever recover?
James Phillips
Where's the tonsil stone? I forget.
Gavin Turner
Yurie is cute!
Sebastian Myers
I blank out only if I have to run off in the middle of the session. Though, it's hard to resist blanking out when I'm summoned into something like Lower Pthumeru or Defiled, but at least with the latter there's a good chance that the host will get himself killed quickly.
Alexander White
>when boss attack hitboxes are longer than the model and animation What is this, DS2?
Kayden James
What variant of which weapon do I upgrade for a full STR build, guys? I already have a maxed Beast Cutter, Pizza Cutter and Amy Arm.
Should I go Boom Hammer? Logarius Wheel? Find and farm Heavy Abyssals to convert my Church Pick (or Bowblade) into a STR weapon?
Also, how's the Beast Claw fare? Its damage scaling was awful last I remember using it, and the beast mode gimmick wasn't worth it even with Laurence's rune.
David Hall
Any red lantern window after you open the Forbidden woods
Lucas Sanchez
If I'm already past Rom is it too late or something?
James Rivera
K I R K I R
100 TONS OF FUN!
William Robinson
il be fine because its literally kosm and not kos
Luis Stewart
I'll wait for the two of you now, I had forgotten how undead giants are at half hp.
Grayson Rodriguez
It looks too big and unfashionable on my character. I like the sound it makes tho.
Jayden Williams
Beast Claw isn't very good, try Stake Driver instead.
Evan Peterson
>Having trouble with Orphan >Go on youtube >See dude beating him at lvl 4 >Decide to try the saw spear >OH KOS! THIS WEAPON IS GREAT FOR BACKSTABS!
I feel like I wasted my time upgrading the wrong weapons.
Also Kos is a really pretty person. I would waifu. Took a look at her after this fight.
Parker Morgan
shut up escanor
Josiah Carter

Tyler Perez
>go through loran >no bastards to do defiled
Owen Hall
i find Augur of Ebrietas to be the easiest way to backstab Orphan. I think getting enough arcane to use Augur is worth for every build, especially pve builds. Also tricked Holy Moonlight Sword charge R2 is slow enough to catch Orphan at the end of his anti-backstab frames when he summons the lightning
Michael Kelly
SRRC always takes a while for me. Feel free to run on ahead.
Ethan Perez
Is the Wheel good? I've made a build around it, but I'm struggling to use it. Is this just a case of getting good and practising?
Carson Ross
>There are people who legitimately think Code Vein is a fromsoft produced souls game because of that fucking "prepare to dine" tagline Why do I read youtube comments when I know I'll find nothing of value and only get mad?
Nathaniel Cooper
boom hammer or kirkhammer. boom hammer has a limited moveset but is really fucking fun to use, I'll never get enough of blowing the old hags up while they yell and groan about the fire. it isn't practical for every situation though. the kirkhammer on the other hand is a sword when you first use it, it's sort of fast and cuts down enemies quickly once upgraded. it has a good charge attack for thrust damage as well. the tricked mode is where it shines though, it turns into a fucking mallet and you start pulverizing shit into the ground and pancaking motherfuckers left and right. it's a blast to use and yields some of the highest damage output on a strength build.
Jose Bell
It is usually enemies larger than AB need to be broken, while anything smaller can be parried.
Gabriel Mitchell
you have change your style with that weapon it seems, really practice with it and learn the moves and distances
Adrian Russell
Don't read Youtube comments. Life is already full of pain, cringe and embarrasment, we don't need an extra dose.
Cooper Sanchez
FUCK UNDEAD GIANTS RRRREEEEEE
Xavier Ramirez
The Wheel is just dash R1 spam.
Leo Thomas
Every weapon is good except Fist of Gratia
Benjamin Bell
I cheese them from range with the bowblade.
Pitiful really.
Daniel Wilson
>not liking it
Michael Sanchez
theyre cool though
Joshua Harris
I got oneshot again, beckoning at layer 2 again
Ryder Ross
There is NO FUCKING WAY atk down isn't the most common curse.
Hudson Cook
only cool kids use atk down
Daniel Morris
At Layer 3 now and I still don't see anything unusual about this dungeon, did I get memed?
Wyatt Lewis
For the beast claw location, is it supposed to be the shared fixed ailing loran that you get bastards from? Guides say there's supposed to be a treasure room, but there isn't.
Jayden Nguyen
Yes, just after the Beast Possess Soul in the side room, watch a youtube video if you're confused.
Ryan Butler
No Layer 4, thanks for the help guys. Aside from the fire room and loot room the dungeon was pretty average but all those fires gave me a good laugh.
Charles Davis
Which Boom Hammer? Also, what about the Logarius Wheel? Isn't it effective as a physical weapon too? (It's got S scaling with STR iirc)
I'd like to know which forms are the most useful for a no Arcane build, by the way. As far as I know Boom Hammer also benefits from some sort of elemental damage when it's cocked.
Angel Long
Also, at which point can I access FRC dungeons? I remember someone saying that you can buy Sinister Isz in Isz Gravestone and skip the rest. Is this true?
Levi Robinson
Can't give too much advice on the Hammer as I haven't used it extensively. As for the Wheel, the one-handed moveset is mostly physical and entirely blunt. It hits like a truck when gemmed with full physical gems and especially with full blunts. The downside to this setup is that the two-handed mode suffers greatly because it's mostly arcane. However you can abuse the multihits on the R2 attacks to build up beasthood rather quickly before switching back to untricked to hit like a small Japanese truck.
James James
>mostly physical 100% physical
Julian Mitchell
No, skips were patched out forever ago. Now you need to collect the roots and make at least one depth 5 FRC root yourself to be able to access them all.
Joshua Williams
I was under the impression that it still had the minor amount of arcane damage. When tricked this arcane damage is doubled, gets better scaling, and gets an extra 20 arcane damage added onto the end, but the physical damage is reduced by ~30%. Otherwise it had arcane damage like the BB, BoM, and Amy Arm.
Jaxon Stewart
It still does very low arcane damage in untricked form. The tricked form just adds a bonus 200% arcane damage and decrease the physical damage by 30%.
Carson Price
Is there any glitch to skip the dungeons and get to depth 5 roots?
Jason Parker
Anyone up for comfy chalice coop? I'm doing the story Loran chalices for the first time, going into layer 2 now. I'll be ringing if anyone wants in.
Pass: bbg333
Grayson Carter
I just asked a reliable source, but I want to confirm with you guys. I can't platinum the game unless I get the dlc as well?
Lucas White
No, you suffer like the rest of us
Jaxon Powell
Not really, you'd need to get the ritual materials to make the next chalice anyways.
Dylan Brooks
For an Arc twink, I just level Arc to 50 starting from Cruel Fate, right? Or would that push me too far over the preferred BL 43?
Noah White
You can get plat without the DLC.
Logan Morales
The DLC doesn't affect the platinum trophy at all.
Jacob Peterson
Rather spend 50$ on the save editor than doing another chalices again.
Jason Wright
Oh thank fuck. I only have Gehrman and the three endings left.
Hunter Lopez
I remember an user saying something similar about making an FRC Defiled Pthumeru instead of an FRC Isz like we usually do. Does this actually work, though?
Sebastian Baker
That's quitter talk, friend.
Jace Hernandez
Ok
Joseph Diaz
Then you have failed
Jonathan Powell
Too bad for you.
Camden Long
Don't skip the DLC, it's honestly the best part of the game
Luke White
The only chalices I dread ever doing again is defiled and lower loran the rest are not that bad desu
Josiah Russell
Tell me one good reason to not do it?
Easton Martinez
Ailing Loran layer 2?
Parker Baker
Because you're taking the easy way out, and pandering to the reddit philosophy. You have a community here 24/7 willing to help farm gems of all shapes and sizes, and you just want to be a bitch about this. The chalices leading up to the FRC chalices for the good gems take almost no time at all, too.
Jordan Sanchez
Are you going to buy it for me?
Dylan Ramirez
Pitiful, really.
Jackson Price
You would be even more of a gigantic faggot than you are now. And that's saying something.
Cameron Rivera
pretty princess here :3 time to enter meme country
Jaxson Sanchez
>you should lose hours on hours, in order to spend hours on hours grinding for gems Yeah, kill yourself, you autistic nigger. From should have not been lazy and completely fucked an important part of the game like that.
Dominic Mitchell
RIP Gud Hunter ;~;
Gonna ring on layer 3 and keep going. By the way, I'm not trying to speedrun through these or anything, just cooping to make this less boring.
Benjamin Thomas
user :(
Gabriel Myers
Hello everybody.
Easton Flores
>I am going to purposely not play a part of the game
Andrew Scott
b-but user the grind is the best part
also, hello 2nd machine :^)
Jacob Evans
The only thing completely fucked here is you, big boy.
Zachary Bailey
>mfw I didn't copy my save before beating Gherman
Lincoln Peterson
They weren't lazy. You are. You can run right through most every non-FRC dungeon fairly quickly, since most root dungeons can be skipped, and Hintertomb can be skipped entirely. Even if that's too much, just join people while they go for gems. Quit being a little bitch, and play the game.
Andrew Kelly
Just level arc to meet whatever requirements you need, I only have 25 arc on my bl43 parasite twink because most of the damage comes from flat gems anyway. If you're relying on scaling to do damage then level it more.
30 or 40 arc is probably more reasonable.
Isaiah Smith
>I am going to purposely not play the shittiest part of the game full of awful bosses and terrible level design
Jackson Myers
Okay, how about leveling only Arc to 47, that puts me at BL 43. I want to use the Parasite, of course, along with a converted weapon, probably a Saw. Or should I stop at 40 and put some investment into Vit so I don't get stomped?
Josiah Flores
>You can run right through most every non-FRC dungeon fairly quickly >Just spend an entire day to get through them and the next time you play, you'll totally not be sick of them :^)
Dylan Edwards
Fuck Mensis is annoying
Sebastian Cox
degenerate
Aiden Butler
>Gerhman is literally an anime boss fight mixed with bullshit
How bad is the Moon Presence compared to him
Andrew Moore
>entire day Besides being fucking retarded, it seems you're actually shit at the game.
Hunter Ross
Not trying to defend him but every time I kill a watcher I get a chunk because of my eye rune and now I can't get any more chunks because I've hit the limit
that's how much watchers I've farmed
you'll never convince me that this is ok
Jace King
How do you buy it
Brayden Cox
You are so far up your own ass your head has basically just become a dildo, which explains why you're so stupid.
Kevin Wood
>there's no material you need to collect to create other dungeons :^)
Eli Lee
well i should probably fuck off too :^) i love you all very much bbg
Aaron Evans
You'll almost certainly get all the materials you need while doing the dungeons themselves. You can also buy everything in NG+.
