Bloodborne

FUCK these Nazgul cunts.
Fucking Bloodborne lulling me into a false sense of security with easy mode Vicar "MUH PENDANT, LEMMA JUST LOOK AT IT FOR LIKE TEN SECONDS WHILE YOU WAIL AT MY HAIRY LEGS" Amelia, and then throwing me up against not just one but THREE of these fucking Fire Dementor motherfuckers
Fuck you Bloodborne and your inconsistent bullshit

PARRY ONE TO DEATH

PARRY THE SECOND TO DEATH

RUN WHEN THE SNAKES COME

PARRY THE THIRD TO DEATH

YOU WIN

What the fuck is parry?

You can literally kite these faggots around the boss "room" separating them in the process. It may take some time but you can get through the fight without losing any health until your left with the last cunt and you can go aggressive on his ass.

shoot your gun in the middle of their attacks, then come up to them and R1

>tfw I died more to Shadows of Yharnam than I did to Orphan

Kinda hard when I get fucking fireballs coming at me from every direction and there's a ninja hacking away at me

Kite them all the way to the left of the entrance, dodge around them, and run to the pillar at the other end. You get a lot of shelter-time from the fireballs that way

Found your problem, OP.

Did you ever wonder why your gun was so weak?

Want some jolly cooperation?

Fun fact: These guys become normal enemies later on, they still come in groups of three or more.

>Implying you literally cant just smash r1 and then smash dodge when your spidey sense is tingling.

>tfw almost kill blood starved beast the first time, then completely fail 10 more times

Thanks for the offer mate, but I don't pay for online.
I'm gonna have to deal with these Wringwraiths on my own I'm afraid.

Then again, I thought Papa Gascoigne was the hardest shit since I put more fibre in my diet but he's fucking easy compared to these bastards. I'll just have to get good, like I did with Gascoigne and that Blood-Starved Bitch.

Does Arcane pay off in the long run? I feel like half my points have been wasted and I should have just gone into bloodtinge or full strength instead.

Do you need online or the dlc to summon box hunters?

Arcane takes a fuckton of work to get any payoff, but if you do put in the work you can nuke everything

Just parry the shit out of em.

Even if you get hit youll get all your health back when you land the riposte.

I think I can summon NPC characters I've interacted with. I had Arthur help me out with BSB. Apparently there's some NPC I can summon to help me with these Shadows but I must've missed him somewhere, cause you need to interact with them before you can summon them.

Both

I'm 25 str 30 arcane

What should I be going for?

I thought so, but it does take awhile before you really get there.

I had the most fun with an arcane build just hanging out outside boss fogs and co-oping areas with my bag of stupid but fun hunters tools.

You don't need Playstation plus for the dlc hunters but you do need Playstation network.

>I thought Papa Gascoigne was the hardest shit since I put more fibre in my diet

Did you kill Henryk or join the Confederates?
You do not need to be online to summon the NPCs

Wait, people have problems with those?

I think they're pretty easy, there is enough shit that blocks the fireball spamming faggot, so you can easily parry katanafag, while once in a while running up to firefag, whacking him a few times, run to some other shit, parry/kill katanafag, run to firefag again and kill him.
Then just dodge snakes and parry doublefag.
I died like 30 times to that faggot Cainhurst hacker from Eileens questline.
Currently I'm against the Bloodletting Beast and he's pretty annoying.
Every fucking hit stuns and I lose rally-time until my character finally gets back up again

Get the wheel and crush everyone

I think you can get a 1-2 week free PS+ trial

You don't even have to worry about the snakes if you leave the caster for last and then just stunlock it all the way down to 0hp.

Don't remember the name but there was a guy behind the gate of the first shortcut in Forbidden Forest with a helmet on who seemed cool so I joined him.
Can't find him summoning spot though.


Anyway, last attempt went sort of okay. Focused on fireball faggot and avoided the others, but then he transformed and OHKO'd me from like half a mile away with magical snake powers.
I think I'm doing this wrong.

I did that entire fight without even having to parry.

I kill ninja guy first, watch for the other two, don't over commit and be happy with a poke or two. He will sprint at you almost all the time so he's easy to get a couple hits on before you have to worry about the other two trying to fuck your shit up.

From there u go after the lantern guy. Same relative strategy, but be aware of the other one and his snaky appendages. You'll have to pull him far away to engage lantern dude.

Last one, now he's using the snakes like a motherfucker and wants to hit you. Be patient, look for the opening, dodge, don't over commit.

Btw Gascoigne you could cheese if you wanted to. He's pretty bullshit.

so they put in the chromatic aberration in to make it less of a graphical eyesore right?

Now I'm curious how many people got through the game without figuring out there's a parry.

25 STR, 25 SKL, 50 ARC, 20 END, the rest to VIT . Proceed to buttfuck everyone with the HMS, your arcane items, and broccoli.

Oh, I know about parry. It's just really hard for me to judge when to use it. One mistake and 3/4th of my health is fucking gone.
I'd rather play it safe, dodge, attack twice, get the fuck out of there, rinse and repeat.

50 str/50 arc or 99 arc/25 str is usually the best way to go about it, depends on if you like arcane weapons more or hunters' tools

Fighting these faggots BL4 no visceral run is one of the most miserable things I've attempted to do within soulsborne games. I still can't fucking do it. It's even worse than DeS SL1.

OP here.
I FUCKING DID IT! God this feels amazing.

Running around the arena, dodging around a bit, taking 'em on one by one. Bolt Papers definitely helped. Once Ninja boy died, I focused on Sword boy, while dodging Fireball boy. Managed to kill both and only had Fireball boy left. He summoned some snake things but I dodged the fuck away and Bolt Paper Ludwig Blade'd my way through his fucking face.

Bloodborne might be both the most infuriating and yet the most rewarding game I've ever played.

Nice job, go forward to Burgerworth my friend. The ride has only begun.

Well there is your problem right there bud. ALWAYS kill the fireball dude first.

Pffff just wait

lol wat

Just get on the other side of the beg tombstone from him, leave him for last.

I did.

Parrying is easy mode anyways. Fight like a man.

I find it easier to kite 2 melee guys around the full map then kite 1 around a single medium sized pillar with some asshole spamming fireballs on the other side. Especially since one of them is slow as balls.

You have no idea the ass pain that awaits you. But know that the best destinations are the ones with difficult roads.

Good job hope you saved some bolt paper for the next boss though
keep at it

My first run I got all the way to Gherman on less then 20 vit before learning to do it properly. That anime motherfucker really pushed my shit in

Tried that, he snake-raped me. Anyway, I beat them so I'm happy.

Glad to hear it. Something about this game man. I usually keep to colorful anime JRPGs but this is just something else, I tell ya.

I'm looking forward to it.

Can't I buy it by now? I remember being able to buy Fire Paper after BSB.


Also general question, I've encountered Paarl before but got my ass royally handed to me. Should I kill him now? Or go through the game "normally"? I read somewhere that the lamp near Paarl disappears if I continue on the main path.

Fuck this Bloodletting Beast, what an annoying cunt

>Vicar Amelia took like 10 tries
>Beat Shadows of Yharnam on first try super drunk

You have to kill Paarl before you can get Bolt paper you should go get him now or the next time you meet you'll be way overlevelled.

Kill Paarl before you get the next boss if you want the lamp to be there, it will be a longer run to him if you wait.

Did you find the nightmare frontier or cainhurst?

I killed them on my first try and BB was my first serious attempt at playing a Souls game.
literally nothing in these games is impossible, you're just going about this fight with the wrong approach.
i got stuck on the vacuous spider boss because i can't time rolls or deal with adds to save my life, not FROM's fault though that's just the player

there is a huge grave stone that really helps with cover. I think it took me 2-3 times with kirkhammer

Well, Rom is fairly easy since you got a lot of room but Chalice Rom is so fucking tedious since you have to kill the spiderlings in that tiny ass room.

Beat the game with the DLC the other day. Really great game.

Just what the hell was going on in the story, tho?

A glorious bait and switch.

cut out your eyes first, then we talk

Why are you rolling in Rom's fight in the first place.
Run Forrest Run

...

>mfw I haven't been good at vidya since I played games on hard cause I'm poor kid
>Bad now
>Buy Bloodborne
At least I bought the last of us as insurance

Shit, guess I'll get onto him then. Any tips? He fucked me up every time, so I decided to just do Forbidden Forest first instead.

I don't know what either of those are.

Weird how that works. I'm a scrub but Amelia was easy as shit for me. Fire Paper and mashing her hairy behind every chance I get.
Then again, Shadows of Yharnam took my five tries in the end, thanks partly to this thread.


Also, I went to the Chalice thing that unlocks after BSB and in level 3 or 4 or something there's this burning dog thing that's impossible. I read that he gives you 120.000 blood echoes though. Any tips on beating him for a bit of nice grinding? Or should I wait until I'm actually more onto his level?

You're in the defiled chalice?

Hit his head and hit it hard, if you do enough DPS you will put out the electricity if not run out cuz he gonna explode. Try and stay up close and personal having distance on him at any point but when he is exploding is a no no.

For the Nightmare frontier did you talk to the guy in the forbidden woods and get the Tonsil stone? If you have then starting from Vicar Amelias lamp head left out of the cathedral down where two hunters are. Past them you will come to a locked door where a black hole will try to get you. Let it get you

it wasn't until Lady Maria when i learned that parrying was a mechanic in my first playthrough

No idea. First chalice that's available as far as I know. Plutherma or something? Huge burning dog? Ring any bells?

It's not that bad user. just try and think of one thing you can improve on everytime you die, like knowing where the enemies are standing or what a boss attack pattern is like, and you won't get discouraged

remember you don't need to fight all the enemies and can run past them so they chase you and you can take them 1 on 1

The Hotdog is fought a couple times throughout the Chalice dungeons the one that drops that many echoes is probably the later one.

>OP can't kill Shadows
>calls them LoTR
>calls them Harry Potter
It's because you're a shitstain kid who grew up with easy games. Git fucking Gud.

That's one of the easiest bosses in the game you shitlord. There are multiple ways to go about fucking them up.

Huh, I'll have to try that tomorrow. I did get the tonsil stone.

Okay, I know what you mean. You really shouldn't be having trouble with that this far into the game, don't know what to tell you.

As for Cainhurst
Did you find the poison lake with giants and shit in forbidden woods? On the other side of the lake is a ladder climb up it and explore till you find the Cainhurst summons. Then go to Hemwick and look around in the area with the two giant axe guys for a large blue stone.
I would recommend killing the boss in Byrgenwerth (the area after the Shadows) before doing this though.

I did kill them.
Suck a huge floppy donkey dick you cumlord and drown in semen.
What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Well what does me referencing two franchises famous for their hooded and cloaked villains have to do with anything?
Checkmate, Lord Semenguzzle IV.

I know now. See my above comment.

M8, if you wanna TRULY git gud you gotta live on the edge. Risk that health and learn the timings and then you'll beat them without taking any damage.

gut gid

Git gud

On the exact opposite direction of the boss Entrance near a hill behind a fence you can find a Summon sign for a NPC.
He can make the fight much easier diverting attentions between the 2.

From puts in sumonable NPCs in every single souls game.

Hell even biggy and smalls in DS 1 had the option of summoning Soliare.

who /kos/ here?

>Kos

Beastly idiot

>he says kosm

YOU PLAGUE RIDDEN RAT

>not Cosmos
You're both wrong

If you're still playing, be ready to face Rom, the fucking spider.

He is pretty weak, but summons dozens of spiders that are strong against front attacks and starts spamming AoE attacks around him if you get close.

Don't know about you, but the thing was a little hard here.

I like this guy

>he

I finished the game a couple days ago. You should really learn how to parry, I'd still be stuck on some boss fights if not for it. When you get the timings right it's incredibly broken

Bloodborne looks great.

It is
