Are chalices you unlock later in the game more difficult than early ones, or is the only factor how deep it is?
Bentley Howard
...
Landon Foster
fuck
Nolan Butler
yes and yes
Easton Lewis
PURGE FILTH
Levi Adams
Depth indicates difficulty, but the first chalice you get is depth 1, the basic Pthumeru, the other two you get in the story are depths 4 and 5. You get even more chalices IN the chalices.
Justin Reyes
Felina slurps something too~
Ethan Watson
xth for the shaman bone blade
Alexander Bailey
I keep getting some vitlets and other random. You boys at bl100, right?
Robert Adams
Okay, so only depth matters, but later dungeons START deep. Thanks.
Michael Hernandez
I'll spelunk with you
Jack Rodriguez
Yes. We got invaded twice by the same guy so far.
Carter Cox
Yeah
Matthew Gonzalez
I came inside her last night
Nathaniel Watson
A bit specific but is anyone about to fight Pthumeru Descendant in the Central Pthumeru chalice and could let me tag along? I need the cold gem he drops and it'd save me having to go through all three layers again.
Camden Ramirez
Do oil urns work with fire weapons or only molotovs?
Thomas Price
They work with fire weapons. Only for the next hit though.
Andrew Flores
SWEEET
Elijah Morris
I killed like 4 randos already, one killed me.
Austin Kelly
>got summoned right as I posted this >then died in one hit to the fire witch
welp
Asher Sanchez
just ended up in someone else's game and then lagged out of that, don't think I can help I'm afraid
Landon Morgan
I give up, 7 hours wasted on trying to get a r19 thrusting gem and all I got was a shitty blunt with hp down. Got the radials with ease but the triangles seem to have insanely low drop rates.
Jeremiah Ortiz
Felina is no slut.
Luke Hall
I am Felina and I confirm this happened.
Josiah Ward
Yes, exactly. Depth just means 'this is a harder area'. In analogy would Central Yharnam is depth 1, Yahar'gul is depth 4.
Connor Reyes
I'm glad we got to bully that tryhard cuck with torches but at this point I think I'll do a bit of FC just to spoil my mood a bit. It was fun you guys.
Evan Sanchez
Thanks for hosting Sucy and Funky. Seems like no one feels like invading today, unfortunately.
Austin Green
She really is
Jaxson Thomas
was fun! ill eventually make a higher bl that will have mensis/frontier unfinished
Jayden Sanders
I fucking invaded 10 different people but I didn't get you fags. I'm going to sleep now, fuck whoever thought this late was a good time for FC to start.
Jace Gomez
I'm too scared to join the FC
Levi Torres
Still looking to get summoned?
Robert Reyes
No I actually managed to get summoned again by the same guy and beat the boss. Thanks anyway user.
William Barnes
Maybe next time. Sleep tight.
Christopher Nelson
Evalynne, Herr's gotta go soon, but thanks for hosting, hope you get some good stuff!
Austin Butler
I'm just gonna try the flamesprayer Havent got the gem I wanted yet
Leo Hernandez
FC where?
Zachary Phillips
What can you effectively do with the fist of gratia? Just throw it out mid combo to keep the enemy stunlocked? But it seems the shotgun is just as good for that and you can even use it to interrupt so I can't quite figure out how to best use the fist of gratia. Anyone got a clue?
Samuel Bennett
You can sell it.
Grayson Robinson
Isz
Adam Murphy
It's actually worthless, not even joking. It takes too much stamina, does little damage and can't parry. It actually has a rudimentary moveset, but it's just shit.
Brandon Collins
CONFEDERATES DID NOTHING WRONG
Caleb Gomez
they let n*talya be among their ranks
Connor Morgan
Anything happening at Isz FC? Been ringin and ringing and ringin
Adam Cruz
and f*lina
Joseph Ortiz
Yea that's what I thought but I was trying to be a little optimistic.
Owen Moore
Everyone is playing Monster Hunter.
John Brooks
/bbg/ is DONE FOR
Sebastian Phillips
I'm trying to get amazon to take back MHW although I opened the package and played for 2 hours.
Adam Reed
blatant samefagging
William Fisher
Nobody gives a shit how long you played some superior game. Read the thread and realize the blog posts have got to stop.
Now everyone shut up and FC in Isz.
Christopher Hall
Is it worth investing in 25 Skl for the Pizza Cutter, or should I just go for 50 Str and base Skl?
Jaxson Brooks
BULLY SCHOLARS
Josiah Cook
Is Rosmarinus good?
Nicholas Morgan
It's usable.
Chase Davis
Is ti worth using?
Michael Butler
Whirly will do fine without the Skill, but it'll be useful if you plan on using Skill weapons with Heavies
Liam Morgan
I liked it. Much better than the flamespewer.
Blake Barnes
For spraying stuff with low health and bullying bosses during co-op sure. Same for Flamesprayer, both are pretty much the same just different damage types
Wyatt Nguyen
Thanks for the reply, that was exactly my doubt.
Ian Jenkins
Oh, Rosmarinus doesn't do fire? Is it Arcane?
Isaiah Phillips
Yep
Charles Cooper
Yes
Owen Wilson
I'm playing for the first time and loving it, what do I do after I beat the Cleric Beast
Noah Smith
Kill Gas Can.
Jayden Robinson
Explore and don't come back till you're done with your first playthrough. Find a ladder in the sewers and keep going
Xavier Phillips
Google it, loser
Jordan Torres
where is FC?
Leo Hall
Hintertomb.
Ethan Bell
thats what I was looking for
i know father bitcoin is next just from talk ive heard about the game, i just dont know where to go, i feel like ive explored everything already
Ayden Perry
Cut Moon Presence arena.
Alexander Allen
That's a dead end, there's more area to cover in Yharnam. Feel free to ask questions, but you might get spoiled. There's some real good surprises that you might ruin.
David Martin
Is 25/50 str/arc good for HMLS?
Ayden Cruz
Yeah, melee might be a bit underwhelming but the beams will do very well. Use Nourishing gems
Aiden Gomez
I can't find dialogue where Gascoigne says Umbasa, can anyone help?
50/25/25 is the thinking man's build
Landon Bennett
>not 50/20/30 You disgust me.
Grayson Brown
you mean 25/25/50
Gabriel Wright
back to discord with you
Elijah Powell
It's actually 50/50/50
Hunter Gray
I bet none of you have ever done a 99/99/99 build
Ian Brooks
the weapon benefits more in terms of damage from SKL
Isaiah Perez
i'm in isz with my bell out, where is everyone?
Adrian Diaz
Don't talk to my gf like that
Henry Scott
I think it was just added so we could do fist only meme runs
Ian Davis
Guise, why do the gravekeepers wear masks, and why are they 7 feet tall? Glad I can finally go fuck blood starved beast up. While we're at it, I'm currently at: 20/15/12/10/7/7. Which one should I prioritise?
Leo Phillips
>gravekeepers Please elaborate?
>20/15/12/10/7/7 Depends on what weapons you want. You could do 50str/25skl and use most weapons, get some heavy abyssal bloodgems later on so you can make those skill weapons scale with strength. Or 50skl/25str, but you can't make strength weapons scale with skill, BUT you get powerful visceral attacks. 50/25 is a good starter build. Later on you can make Str/Arc characters for using mad shit like the Wheel and MY GUIDING MOONLIGHT
Zachary Miller
You'll be a vileblood slave soon enough.
Camden Bailey
Guys with white masks, canes and lanterns, just before old yarhnam. Do I really have to slave through the minigunner or is they another route I can go through?
Thanks, I'll go with 50/25 since I suck with parrying. What about Vit and endurance?
Leo Collins
Those are servants of the healing church.
Asher Martin
>make a cute girl in the creator >get in game >manjaw
I SWEAR IT WASN'T LIKE THIS BEFORE GOD FUCKING DAMMIT WHY
Lincoln Peterson
is FC still on?
Justin Hill
You want around 40-50 vit depending on whether you want to pvp or not, 15 end is fine and the other stats depend mostly on which weapons you intend to use. Str and skill are used for most weapons, blt limits you to basically 3 weapons, 2 of are deep into the dlc, arcane is for hunter tools (spells) and for converting weapons into fire/bolt/arcane. Regardless, you shouldn’t focus so much on your build your first playthrough, more on just finding out which weapons you like. Then make a post here asking what’s the optimal build is for that weapon. We will reply with 10 posts about how exactly BL98 is the patrician choice and how everything above that, including and especially BL117, is for losers, but the 11th post will contain the info you need.
Lucas Diaz
I had the same fucking problem.
Andrew Green
Oh, user, those aren't masks. I'd recommend leaving here til you complete the game - playing blind is the absolute best and spoilers suck. You'll find out what they are when you come back here. And yeah, you gotta go through Old Yharnam, but he leaves you alone less than halfway through the level. You can become his friend if you come back to area later on.
If you leave endurance as it is (the game is very generous about endurance usage) and level vit to 45, you'll sit around the /bbg/ approved level 98. But since it's your first playthrough, you should play around a little and level what you want, get a feel for stuff. Or not, it's totally up to you. The arcane hunter tools are quite fun.
Connor Walker
since not much is happening, anyone want to spelunk?
Joseph Harris
Yes, where?
Elijah Lopez
first reply rolls 1-3 Ihyll 4-6 Loran 7-9 Isz 0 I go to sleep
