BLOODBORNE

I just recently finished Bloodborne for the first time last week and immediately made a new character with a different build focus. Really love the games combat and atmosphere, super fun exploring everything. Bought the DLC last night and just got to Ludwig right now. The new weapons I've found in here are pretty damn cool. That Whirligig Saw legitimately saw "WOW" when I picked up and used it for the first time. Fantastic experience and I'm completely addicted to this game.

I got the GOTY version some months ago and I haven't yet gotten to the DLC, how do you access it?

The dream house is already on fire.

in the hunters dream there were messengers with an item. took it and from there went to the cathedral ward and let one of those amygdala things grab me and it ported me to the hunters nightmare.

Nice OP! I picked it back up again just recently too, and started the DLC.

I'm also currently bashing my head against Ludwig. He's a great fight though. I'm dying, but I don't feel like they're cheap deaths. He's just a long, skill-based fight where both you and the boss are super aggressive the entire time.

I meant to put the part in the OP about me dying on Ludwig. I agree with you man, I really like this fight even though I'm getting blown up frequently. I use the Beast claw weapon I really like it. The first time I triggered the cutscene that starts phase 2 I was lying down half assed while playing. When the cutscene started and phase 2 kicked, the music and dynamic of the fight actually made me jump up and get really serious. Blew me away honestly.

Artorias of the Abyss > The Old Hunters
prove me wrong

Oh I think I went there but decided to go back because I wasn't finished with another area, which tombstone was the one to get you there again?

ok

the one secluded away from the normal lineup. near the other doors of the house. i think the doll sometimes sits near there when you port in occasionally.

It's the best and very economical.

One expansion. Just one more goddamn Bloodborne DLC... I will finally be able to let go. Exploring the events prior to the base game. The church, the byrgenwerth scholars, the choir, the scourge...

And I will let go.

I got the platinum trophy a few weeks ago and god fucking damn I just couldn't let go of that game, I just had to 'complete' it, took me 2 characters because I fucked up the first one, the ludwig holy blade build just worked wonders to me.
I love the lore and the whole atmosphere of the game, every new game plus I just took my time to look at all the scenery then move on to the game, I really wish Bloodborne 2 gets announced soon

toasting in proper bread

What's a fun non-standard build after doing two playthroughs as straight STR with the straight razor (Saw Cleaver)?

Be a Skill or BLTfag instead then

Been playing bloodtinge chikage bloodletter build recently. How do others feel about it? Chikage is a fun weapon and bloodletter is bad ass (dat transformation), but the build feels weak.

>bloodtinge chikage build
>weak
What the fuck are you doing?

Beast hunter saif has the best moveset
>those transform attacks
why would you use anything else?

ARC my man.

You sure you got the right blood gems? BLT weapons do get the highest AR thanks to blood gems.

where do i go from here? atm im aiming for 50 vit
prob not. where do i get good blood gems? please don't say chalice dungeons

My favorite weapon of any soulsborne game. The transformed attacks are so much fun to use, I wish there was something similar in souls but I'm sure it'd be too OP

>please don't say chalice dungeons
So you want me to lie to you?

>please don't say chalice dungeons
Boy do I have some news for you.

You can actually get some from those enemies with eyes all over its huge head.

>super fun exploring everything

it's really fucking linear though

I mean, you can get a few from the world and the winter lanterns drop them... but the only place to get the good ones is the chalice dungeons. Just look up the video that can speed run it for you. Takes like 2-3 hours tops and that's if you fucking SUCK at the cursed hot dog fight like I do.

so which dungeon exactly? i haven't done many

>I'm stupid and think my opinions matter

How the fuck are you supposed to beat NG+5 Laurence? Fucking Ludwig and Orphan are way more manageable than this piece of shit, because at least for them you don't die in one NORMAL attack. His health is absolutely absurd, and I'm using a fully decked out HMS at 50/50/50 with three nourishing gems.

>Laurence
>NG+5

that sounds like a really unenjoyable fight. It took me ~30 tries to beat him on NG+2 despite beating all the other bosses fairly easily

Do you have PS+? Use these glyph codes for whatever your build is: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1syKnSKflHbFiGY4pXkfIeXoMa2Lp9X1aXyme2qaTen4/htmlview?sle=true#

If you don't have PS+, you'll have to look up what the base ones are.

Use Whirligig or another serrated weapon for a better shot, but I just wouldn't bother. He's so tedious, even on NG that I rarely fight him anymore. Only good thing about the fight is the music anyway.

i keep dying to ludwig

You go korean

You just have to kill him

Change clothes and runes, drink a few glasses of fresh water, meditate, focus, summon Valtr if you're a bitch (with the league oath rune, he appears close to the broken gate just before the boss zone, behind 2 crows) and then you just kill him

...

what gear and runes should i use?

easily the best build/dps right here. Give it a shot OP if you're gonna play through the game again.

youtu.be/AF_1kN11IiQ

summon valtyr near the gate, and summon a madaras twin where you find the butcher set (you gotta kill the two axe fags first). now you've got two dudes to wreck ludwig with.

also, you may be able to summon valtyr and the old hunter bitch down the stairs from the lamp.

Oh Amygdala, oh Amygdala...

Have mercy on the poor bastard...Hah hah hah!

Best build is 25/50 str/arc split
>wheel
>tonitrus
>Ludwigs holy dildo
>decent damage on hunter tools

post your fashionborne

>he didn't list boom hammer

It's like you don't like fiery explosions that do ridiculous damage.

that part was great. first time seeing it i clipped it so i can rewatch it

Man, Ludwig's fight is a bitch alone.

I'm sorry, I haven't played the game in such a long time

Still stuck on Orphan of Kas on my second character ever.

So what's the premier strength build weapon that isn't Ludwig's sword? I want to start a run a couple months from now when I forget more about the game and preferably go for a strength build, but I think the holy sword is a little overplayed.

>tfw stuck on Orphan

Somehow I got this far through the game without really gitting gud, excellent fight though.
