Are you sure you've actually read Lovecraft? Because this game absolutely gushes over him and 'major inspiration' doesn't really sell how deeply ingrained Lovecraft is here, both on the surface and underneath in the very story of the game. The game is aesthetically 'Victorian', it's aesthetically gothic, but thematically Lovecraftian through and through. They did such a good job integrating his ideas in such a fresh and non-obnoxious way I refuse to belittle it. My point is the Nightmare, as an alien dimension, works akin to the Dreamlands, where ancient things and peoples continue to persist through time, a dimension accessed via sleep for humans, but accessed differently for other creatures. If you'll recall, in Dream-Quest, the Ghouls get there by going underground. In the Gug city, Carter notices he's getting dangerously close to the surface where the Ghouls would exit, and if he does, he'll wake up.

Is there a way to tell which NG I'm on?
Julian Bell
How many Mensis Cages you've got
Jack Bailey
check the number of tear stones/blood gems

>threaded cane does serrated and righteous WEAPONFU
Luke Ward
>CHURCH PICK DOES SERRATED AND RIGHTEOUS DAMAGE IN BOTH FORMS AND PURE FUCKING THRUST IN TRICKED MODE

>church pick does righteous, serrated and thrust my weaponfu is better
Lucas Baker
Church Pick is the true patrician weapon of the game
Bentley Howard
My Amy Arm looks like a delicious chicken wing and makes smashy and also big swing claw
Lincoln Roberts
i like the saws because they're not useless
Brody Nelson
Are koran gems essentially required to participate in /bbg/ FCs or am I alright just by using ensis gems?
Blake Smith
In all fairness, the Church Pick is an amazing utility weapon for just about every situation, outclasses the saws mostly, Amy Arm not really, but it's more FUN.
Landon Edwards
>implying the boom hammer isn't the true patricians choice
Ian Young
Choirsluts FTW
Jace Foster
Fun is all that matters desu
Nathan Foster
FRC gems are ideal, Korean gems are optional most times
Gavin Evans
>camera unlocks from amygdala's head as I go for a final swing >immediately jumps, stunning me and putting me in a kill zone Thanks, game.
Carson Cruz
Without gems you better be real fucking good.
Gemmed autismo builds will kill you in 2-4 hits.
Jaxson Wood
By Allah, you'll get your shit kicked in pretty hard, since autism gems are noticeably more powerful than Mensis gems. Not necessary, per se, but it's usually better to have them.
Cameron Hill
do you get anything for sending the Skeptical Man to Iosefka's Clinic?
Josiah Allen
Mensis gems are noticeably worse but you could just go for sub korean 25.5s that you can get from watchers and you wont really be able to tell the difference
David Jenkins
Insight and some lead elixirs
To get him to move there you gotta tell him to head to the Chapel
Kayden Edwards
>all this and it still does shit damage
Jose Miller
The damage is perfectly fine for its speed tier
Charles Allen
Anyone want to help me with the nazgul and Rom on NG+2? I'm ringing in front of shadow"s fog with pass bbg
Jackson Lewis
is there any reason to use a weapon that doesnt scale up to S in its category?
Henry Foster
the least korean are watcher gems and in a non arc build there's little to no difference with other gems. Mensis/DLC gems will take you just one/two more hits to kill, that's all
Adrian Baker
Scaling doesn't always make a weapon good. Saws don't have S in either Str/Skl but they're definitely top tier
John Bell
>that sneaky reference to The Outsider when you leave the Research Hall Ayo holup, what's the reference? Other than the action of climbing and then exiting the hall itself being very similar
Jack Lewis
Abyssal gems.
Samuel Thompson
Yes, movesets
Brody James

Bentley Stewart
Is 9 end enough for untricked bow and bb/bom? How is ACB with 40arc if I went 40/40 instead?
Hudson Young
If you even have to ask then just go back to Skyrim
Jacob Long
This desu
Carter Ramirez
I originally got him to the Chapel by acciddnt because I knew the clinic was full of shit and I tried to het him killed. Foolish me, suspicious man is one of the best characters.
Ayden Hughes
Bow yes, BB and BoM no
Dominic Roberts
9 End is enough for my Skl/Arc build, 40 Arc won't be great for ACB but it's nice for other Tools
Dylan Price
Give up, your meme wont become a thing. You didn't even put any effort, the choir headgear is not even recognizable.
Robert Ross
This isn't a meme, it's what you are, you dumb waifunigger.
Jayden Mitchell
>posted the wrong pic
damn it they are the main reason I want to try skl/arc build. Guess it's time to level past 98 as I don't want to drop the Bow
Maybe with two anti runes I guess. I want a call beyond mainly for aesthetic purposes but I think I'll rather stick with 50/30
Adrian Lee
I use those weapons with 9 End and just the 20% Anti-Clock Rune fine enough tbqh. I'd say stick to 50/30
Ryder Watson
>try to use other weapons >make build for other weapons >just go back to church pick JUST
Camden Taylor
CHURCH PICK IS WEAPONFU
Parker King
Anyone up for Nightmare of Mensis? Only have a +6 Cane since I want to save my chunks for an Uncanny Burial Blade. I'll be ringing at lamp with the PW crow
Ayden Brooks
Indeed.
Blake Thompson
>try to use other weapons >make build for other weapons >just go back to saw spear sometime I wish it wasn't the best weapon in the game
Benjamin Green
People will tell you it's """"fine"""" at 9 end, but I'd personally rather have fun than fine. But it's up to you. BoM doesn't take a lot but is much more fun when your movement isn't so limited, and BB demands a fair amount. Two antis would be fine but then of course you're limiting your clocks at 40 vit. Again, up to your personal preference. 50/30 over 40/40 I'd say
Dominic Cox
>9 end with one stam rune provides 109 stamina nice, I'll do the pic related build then. thanks user
Jace Scott

Caleb Davis
Jesus Christ there's a meme about how there's a weaponfu for everyone that I wish I had to post
Saws were for the deranged maniacs Cane for neckbeards wanting to be classy And some others
Jordan Rogers
Why aren't there more gem effects, like hp on hit or something
Henry Thompson
Axe is for stupid negroids :^)
Colton Russell
Huh you might be right, I have an 8end shitcage build but BoM is completely different and I use one on my build with 40 endurance. I will leave it at 9 and will level up to ~103 if I won't like it as I can't really cut points anywhere and I don't want
Luke Johnson

Jonathan Roberts
>gem that builds up frenzy but removes all scaling from the weapon akin to Raw in souls
Lincoln Allen
THANK YOU
You made me remember what the image was and here it is
Logan Morales
>I have an 8end shitcage build but BoM is completely different and I use one on my build with 40 endurance. >that whole sentence I meant to say I use BoM on my build with 40 end and it will feel really weird to go from there to 9end. also 8 end is fine when you are using chikage but not bom geez im tired gn /bbg/
Brayden Gomez
so which gem is better for a Hunter Axe;
Blunt ATK UP +8.8% Add physical ATK +5.4
or
Physical ATK UP +7.3% Phys UP at full HP +2.7%
Adrian Lewis
Basically, the act of climbing all the goddamn up this huge ass tower and finding what outside it? Solid ground. Mirrors the act of the narrator from the story in which basically the same thing happens, only he finds a graveyard because he's a zombie instead of a nightmare fishing village.
Julian Green
>charges R2s >walk back
Logan Turner
I know who you are, bitch.
John Campbell
More Phys, theres more Phys attacks than Blunt attacks iirc
Robert Rodriguez
Anyone spelunking or farming?

Had redo my female hunter, And I even have a backstory for her.
Backstory: Julien has always had a troubled childhood. Her father was always away on hunts, And her mother never really knew how to care for her. Leaving the young girl to do as she pleased, Much to her fathers chagrin.
Whenever her father wasn't on his hunts, He would tell her stories of how much fun it was to hunt. The thrill, The blood, The smell of beasts, It was almost as if her father was drunk from each hunt that he came back from. So she asked her father:
"What happens if a hunter goes bad?".
It was then that she found the one thing that she would never forget.
Her father then placed his curious daughter onto his lap, He then pulled something from under the old chair, Something that he hid from his wife ever since they married:
A pair of blades finely sharpened, And locked together as one.
Her father then split the blades apart quietly as not let his wife hear them. He then began to explain to his daughter what the blades were and what he did with them. He told her about how he used these blades on what he called "Targets", Whenever a hunter was labeled a threat, He would use these blades to take care of them. And as for his services he would get a "Prize" as a reward.
His daughter became more curious and a little excited to hear this. And her father then proceeded to teach her, And tell her about everything.
40 years went by....
40 years that she wishes that she could spend with her father....
But her father is dead....
By her mother no less....
Jonathan Jenkins
I have many names.
Ethan Edwards
What do the men of the Choir think of their slutty female co workers?
Jaxson Thomas
(cont)
She found out what he had done behind her back, And killed him with the very blades that he showed her when she was a little girl. Julien's father was killed, And on her 13th birthday too. She found her father, In his own blood, While her mother stood over him. Clutching the twin blades in each hand.
It was this display that she completely snapped.
She lunged at her mother, Rage in her eyes like a beast lusting after blood, And snapped her mothers neck, Then proceeded to stab her lifeless body with the twin blades.
It was her first kill....and it felt so good.
After this, She gave her father a proper funeral and then began to dedicate her life to her fathers "Secret line of work". Using her skills as a hunter for hire.
Nathan Cox

Michael Cooper
I liked Earthen Peak because it was weird and magical...
Honestly, it's the whole reveal of the secret deal that makes the Astral Clocktower exit a reference, as well as the actual manner of exiting.
Lincoln Hernandez
>that face >this cringey ass backstory
Is is ironic right?
Samuel Rogers
I appreciate the backstory an creativity but she's hideous, my man.
Xavier Butler
