Anyone know where to get a Heavy Blood Gemstone? The Wikis got nothin'.

Doesn't have the swag factor of DBS.

Transform combos are pretty swag...

It's a bit swagless for sure.

It's one downfall.

I can't think of a greatsword with a better moveset in any other Souls game. It has horizontal slashes, perfect for taking out large mobs. It has over head strikes for taking out smaller enemies. It has stab pokes for getting a bit more distance when needed. Not to mention it transforms into a long straight sword that has killer speed and ability to stunlock easily.

It also has high scaling in STR, SKL, & ARC so it can fit many different builds.

People that like it a lot are only using the Greatsword form, right?

 

[Aztechnology]

I see. Supposedly, there are more that no one has found yet?

It's important to note they don't really function like covenants did in the Souls games. So don't go expecting exclusive items for trading in medals etc. (Outside of NPC rewards for comoleting their storyline in game that is). At least from what I've seen.

Also once again for those interested my Pthumeru Chalice Dungeon contains both the

I used it about 85% of the time in Greatsword form.

I used the straight sword for faster enemies.

If you go to the area that has the elevator before Micolash (the one with the little dudes and big enemies with chains for whips), you'll see a cage that you can get in and ride down to the void

Depth is difficulty level. Like Rifts in Diablo 3, there are multiple floors (Bloodborne: layers) and then Torment difficulty (Bloodborne: Depth).

Question what's the difference between uncanny and lost weapon compare to the default weapon?

[HeelPower]

Bloodborne however, shows that Miyazaki's team know exactly how difficulty should be implemented within a game. A defeat that is entirely the player's for not using the tools handed to them correctly.

The difficulty is perfect.Its enough to be stimulating ,but not soo excessive that it feels unplayable.

Some bosses seem impossible but all it takes is a shift in persepective.

The optional bosses in KH2 final mix are garbage for example.They're probably harder than anything in souls series ,but they're not fun.Its a case of difficulty feeling cheap and absurd.

 

[Carbonox]

Where on Earth do you fight DBP? Can't find it at all.

 

[RoboPlato]

Ah, gotcha. Little to slow for my playstyle then. Saw Clever just works so well for me.

 

[d00d3n]

If a blood gem gives "+ fire attack damage", does that mean that my weapon will do fire damage naturally? Or is it only if I apply a fire buff?

 

[zewone]

Question what's the difference between uncanny and lost weapon compare to the default weapon?

Different gems fit into them, so you can customize the weapon to your liking.

 

[neoism]

if you watch my farming video you can see me stun prettty well. I guess its withthe axe though, so maybe you need a heavier weapon.

no soul memory

There is a better farming route for mid game .. It's right at the first forbidden woods lamp you kill the two birds then the two dudes... Then go for the wolf guy then kill the 4 or 5 guys below and the 2 dogs for 7400+ echoes......( each run takes about 4 minutes including the loading) Run back and repeat... You can almost get 100k echoes in an hour if you are fast and get good runs...

I read they also have different scaling? Not sure if its true since I haven't gotten one yet though.

I still don't get the love for the Ludvig's... if you like Saw cleaver try the axe.

Fast, hits multiple enemies, tons of dmg, etc. Weapon is great.

 

[super-famicom]

It converts from physical damage to fire damage. Your Strength and/or Skill will no longer affect the damage, only the Arcane stat will do that.

is anyone up for depth 4 chalice dungeon?
range for co-op is level 104-148

Fire damage naturally, but you lose scaling with your other stats.

Does Insight matter in pvp matchups ?

Anyone?

Yeah, for the amount of shouting at bosses I've done on this thread, I'm really just shouting at myself.

Greatsword of Artorias wins.

Never forget the running light attack spin. That insta killed so many enemies. It let you skip along maiming everything that even looked at you.

So do Bloodtinge scaling weapons (rifle spear and shit) get a bonus from Bloodtinge when doing physical attacks?

 

[OatmealMu]

I read they also have different scaling? Not sure if its true since I haven't gotten one yet though.

I did a comparison between an Uncanny Saw Cleaver and a normal one. At least at lower levels the scaling seems identical.

 

[d00d3n]

Ahhh, that is less good for my skill build. But that blood gem would be great for weapons with bad scaling and high damage I guess?

[Kyoufu]

What's the damage like with high arcane? At 30 arcane/+10 and with a decent Arcane gem (plus the +15% atk gem) I'm barely scraping past 400 atk. And in use it just doesn't hit hard even if I shift elements around.

Once you reach 40+ Arcane you should see that A bonus scaling better and thus outputting more damage. What I really like about Arcane builds though is that I can mix it up with spells and flamethrowers while still having the LHB/Tonitrius for heavy melee damage.

Anyone?

I believe it doesn't cost anything to invade but if you fail to kill your opponent then you lose 1 Insight.

 

[zewone]

Yes, at least for the Chikage.

I hear the rifle spear only scales that for the gun portion.

Does chikage only do blood damage in transform mode? Can't tell myself.

dark beast paarl?

Spoiler

There are guys who walk around and carry big bags in the graveyard areas, the first one i found was in the healing church when i dropped to the bottom of the tower. They're pretty tough, if they kill you you wake up in a jail and from there you're in a new place. DBP is in this location, I found him by accident and so far the hardest boss i've encountered.

 

[zewone]

That is a good point. I'm not sure.

 

[SeanTSC]

This is very useful info.

That's actually pretty terrible info. 50 is *not* a Hard Cap on Stats, 99 is. Except for Endurance which caps Stamina gains at 40, though you still get Defense Stat increases past that.

25 is not a soft cap. You still get tons of stats from 26-50. There's just a very MINOR dip at 25. You also still get stat gains from 51-99, it's just extremely diminished returns and where the actual soft cap is.
