PURGE FILTH

Darkbeasts are more weak to arc than fire arctually

Hibiko, I'll have to ask you to leave. We're already full.

What was his role in the story before all his dialogues were cut?

What's the best starting origin and stat array to use for a Blades of Mercy build?

BB isn't a saw but it's got a pretty solid move set imo, plus it's a fucking scythe, what's not to love?

it's ok i have to go now anyway mj. What is biko and why is it censored?

meme peddler

Starting Lower Loran lads
Who's with me!?
pass bbg

Layer 2 report:
>Ok, I go back on my words: this layer was far too intricate. There was a secret bonus room within the main area and it had a lot of optional areas too.
>Narina got memed by a Silverbeast hiding in the dark.
>Saw-spear edgeladies everywhere,
>Two Sage's Hair in a chest.
>A Bastard of Loran in the special coffin.
>Atsuko sniped a Silverbeast from a higher bridge, with the help of some Blood Cocktails.
>Boss was Keeper. Bullied hard and Narina also managed to land a backstab (but I fucked it up).
Layer 3 is waiting for us.
Don't know, honestly. He told me his name, otherwise I wouldn't know what the censored part was. Thanks for joining, Atsuko, hope you had fun.
Nevermid, Atsuko had to go. You can remain.

meme novice who accidently saw a forbidden meme

What's your headcanon about what your characters feet look like?

>Hibiko, I'll have to ask you to leave. We're already full.
What kind of fucking cancer is this? Whoever makes it in should get to stay. I would never think of asking someone to leave as host and would certainly never send them home.

We're on Layer 3, not the first. I won't silence his bell, but I'll ask him to leave his spot, if he's cucking someone.

cute!

>Invite two specific people to join
>Some random unannounced faggot shows up
>"Oh haha that's ok you can stay, fuck the other guy I was actually waiting for :^)"
What kind of retarded priorities do you have? Fuck you and fuck Hibiki, he always pulls that retarded shit.

You would rather cuck somebody that was with you for 2 layers because of Miyazaki magic srrc fuck up?

Anyone?

It's Hibiko, though, with the O, not Hibiki. Two different persons.

>2 fireballs in 10 seconds.
Not hibiki, that guys a dude. Im hibiko, just a fan of his. Im also very new to coop and that was my first spelunk so I didnt know etiquette. Ive also just lost connection and am posting with mobile data so continue without me for a sec.

Probably callused and cracked

>Im hibiko, just a fan of his
This place is farther gone than even I was afraid of.

You didn't invite 2 specific people, you posted a glyph and a password and left it out in the wild.

If you want to spelunk SPECIFICALLY with your buttbuddies then send a message on PSN

I love hibi but I wish she would post “im joining” or something because i dont have a cuck fetish but she always cucks me :

I have cucked, been cucked, and observed cucking going on around me. It's easier to accept it and leave everything to fate and chance than to ask people to leave like some fucking asshole.

Clawed and a little too big for her body

>trying to not cuck someone makes you the asshole
That's gotta be some of the most retarded logic I've ever witnessed. I bet you're the kind of guy who'd blame a whistle blower uncovering something terrible.

This 2bh.

>Stacking two Blood Rapture's basically restores a third of your health with every visceral
Damn, that's actually really useful in PvE, I should experiment with more not commonly used runes.

This but unironically

If someone joins me for TWO layers, I won't let them get cucked on the last one. You have an opportunity to cuck somebody else on the first, then you should just accept it and move on with your life.

Lel, tell me your character name so I can blank you out.

Loot dupe the cainhurst crow rune twice for +900hp every visceral

The person who joined you probably wasn't thinking about cucking someone, they just wanted to have fun. Then you asked them to leave because their name wasn't Jordan, Chloe, Natalya or whoever else is popular at the moment.

Natalya the redditor

>Loot dupe
Que?

Nah you're a faggot.

Segalt

IS

can I leave the area where the bloody crow of cainhurst is and continue the questline later?

Im afraid it will despawn or eileen dies.

>kill cainhurst crow
>walk to burgertown w/o going to hunter’s dream
>walk back to CW
>walk back to burgerking
>walk back to crow’s body
3 tier 3 bloodrapture runes for the taking. This also works and is good for willem’s eye rune, gilbert’s rune, beggar rune, and a couple of others I think. It works on all enemy loot drops aside from the ones that get put in your inventory

Layer 3 report:
>Lost my companions in a matter of seconds to a couple of Clerics.
>More tryhard npcs.
>Four Bastards of Loran in a chest.
>Rang the giant bell. No one came.
>Final boss was Pthumerian Elder, who dropped me a Waning Cold Abyssals. Btw, thanks for the heal there, Hibiko.
Thanks for joining me Narina, Atsuko and Hibiko. A large dungeon, but with only a few enemies, unfortunately, but I had fun exploring it with you, nonetheless. Just a comfy spelunk, all in all.
Hope you're shitposting, I asked him to leave, because I had already two other cooperators from the previous layers. If he was there from the start, there would be no problem.

I might be too tired for this.
Thanks for letting me tag along though MJ

Could somebody help with Laurence? Pass: help

Fascinating.

Ringing by the fog gate.

Ringading

Sure

I can confirm that that was my first spelunk so I thought that 'cucking' was just the act of making a cainhurst character.
I didn't really know the etiquette for spelunks so that was my bad there.
I understand the layer3 thing now, sorry about that.
Still not hibiko, see agreed
thanks for the spelunk, sorry for shitting up the thread

Thanks I'm there now

I was talking about hibiki but I see now that I can’t abbreviate it anymore because of her fanboy xd

Not your fault, at all. It was just a honest mistake.

I'll have to put 'psn id' on now I suppose.

Thanks to whoever that was!

I'll make sure you never join a fucking bbg spelunk again, kid.

No problem.
Way to stand back and watch btw.
Shitter.

There's got to be a Bloodborne community for people who aren't retarded faggots, right? It can't just be this shithole and Reddit.

It was over before it started I suppose.
Time to make a waifu character so I don't get blanked out next time

just to be clear, burgertown/king is byrgenwerth, right?

2chan has the occasional Bloodborne thread
But that's it
There's also the Discords

No man it's Lower Hintertombs.

I'm not a retarded faggot m8
A bit shit game-wise, but not a fuckhead

its a pretty bad thread to start on. go and read a christmas thread for Zullie giving us the gift of 3rd phase moon presence
yep
>discords
oh lordy

I'm indecisive, help me

All 3 are bad.

Choir headpiece looks good with tomb prospector cloak, try that.

You can't go to lower hintertombs without loading dream, you idiot. He was taking about Hunters nightmare.

>Rolled male for my favorite co-op character
>Enjoy the female fashion options more

Really wish you could redo the appearance/sex without wasting all that progress. There's still my pure arc build to level and grind for, but broccoli head complicates things.

Tomb Prospector Garb is the best but I already have a character that's using it and I don't want to cross fashion.
What's a good church get up then?

Old wrinkly with a ton of calluses and probably smelly

Does church pick stop being serrated when converted? Which weapons don't?

Serration/righteous bonuses are innate
They're always gonna be there

I started a new character because autism if anyone wants to join for some co-op. Ring-a-ding-dinging at Gascoigne's fog, password is bbg

Are there any enemies that take booth serrated and righteous damage?

>finally got a PS4P
>finally got BB
>amazed at how great it is
>makes DaS3 look and feel like hot shit
>currently on my first run, 35/20/25/25/5/50 HMS build
>getting wrekt by Orphan
>only bosses left after are Gherman and the alien
>wondering if going 50 ARC was worth it

I'm guessing there's no way to respec in this game? Enjoying the fuck out of it overall though. I'm actually kind of upset how little effort went into DaS3 in comparison to BB, and it's starting to become apparent the leftover bits of BB that were recycled into bits of DaS3

I know that's normally the case but I read something that for pick it's only on thrust attacks?

bloodborne fan page on facebook

Have you been playing around with hunter tools and converted weapons too? 50 arc allows for a good amount of versatility. No respecing though unless you have a backup save ready.

church pick is all thrust attacks when tricked. serrated and righteous bonuses still apply to thrust attacks.

No there's sadly no way to respec.
I never really care fore the line of thought of "oh they just didn't care" when it comes to games, least of anything From has made recently.
It'd be an awful incredible thing they managed to not care for a whole three year development cycle while resources were mostly put into Bloodborne and DaS2 until the final year of development. No, the game was kind of doomed from the start because they had to downgrade everything visually to maintain parity with the Xbone version.

Nice save Albatross, sorry I boofed it at the end there, I'm still trying to get used to this cane.

It is only for Thrust attacks, the attacks that would deal Thrust if it weren't converted would have the bonuses only. When converted they still have the bonuses, they just don't deal Thrust anymore

do you think this would work on chest items in chalices dungeons if, say, you opened the chest on the first layer then went all the way down to 3/4 and back up with no loading zones?

Not sure what you mean. I was using LHS for a while until I found HMS and immediately dumped into ARC thinking it would be good. It's not bad, and I'm doing ok damage against Orphan. Just still learning his pattern. Starting to realize that sticking mid and hugging his left works best.

What do you mean by converted weapons and tools?

It's a shame. BB really does look amazing visually.

The weapons alone are designed amazingly. All the weapons have bits and bobs that make sense they can transform and hold the shape, ignoring some physics for joins not snapping all the time lol.

Framerate takes a nasty hit for that fidelity. Take a look at this early trailer and you'll see it was always a problem for them.
youtube.com/watch?v=xx8KTIeSnzs&t=22s
I hope one day they'll figure out a way to get these games to run at a smooth 60 on the first go.

It runs fine on my PS4 Pro. Not sure if it was given a pro patch though. Lowest dip I felt was maybe into a high teens? It feels fine for me though. I'm not a huge FR whore. If its above 30, its decent enough for me.

Yeah, I realize that much. However when you convert it's not thrust anymore so I thought maybe serration/righteous doesn't apply anymore.
All right, thanks for clarifying that for me.

again,

Doubling back to knock down the Cleric Beast if someone wants to co-op it for fun. Pass is the same, ringing on the Bridge.

Hunter tools are pretty much your spells. Augur of Ebrietas, Blacksky Eye, etc. Their damage scales better the more arc you pump, so 50 arc is pretty good for using them.

To convert a weapon, you put on blood gems that do arcane/fire/bolt damage. This converts the physical damage into magic/elemental damage, which scales on arc.

Not him but conversion means converting a weapon's Physical damage to fire/bolt/arcane damage. Only Pure Physical weapons like Saws, LHB, Saif, etc can be converted, anything split cannot. Orphan is weaker to fire than bolt, but without going into dungeons you might be better off farming some 20.3%s Bolt gems from the lightning fish wizards around Hamlet since there's not a lot of fire gems around the same %. Conversion makes weapons ignore Str/Skl scaling and scale only with Arc. Tools are Hunter Tools which operate like spells. All but one scale with Arc excluding the ones that don't scale at all.

Ah yeah. I've been using a lot of gems. Mine aren't great - mostly just increase phys dmg with 1 increasing arcane by a bit, but I've barely scratched Chalices, which seem full of those shits.

I'll have to equip those spells. I have em all, but didn't even think to use them.

How's this for a build lads?

Ok. Weird thing just happened.

I was fucking around and used A Call Beyond - suddenly, I got Simon's Bowblade and a key given to me.

Auger is amazing for when you are using two hand weapons, it can both parry and backstab, only for one bullet too.

Complete meme. Just accept that Skilltinge is awful at BL98 meme and move on.

It's okay, I'd rather start with Lone Survivor and drop Vit to 41, or Military Veteran with 40 Vit if you wanna use Letter
