Is there an established "best place" for farming Blood Chunks?

Unseen Chapel is about as good as it gets. If you have >150 discovery those weird undead werewolves drop one every 3-4 times you kill one. They're also worth well over 4000 echoes and are super easy to stunlock with a quick weapon so its a viable strategy. There's also a scurrying beast that drops 2 of them in the hidden area with the teleport pool with another undead werewolf.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Haven't played this in a few weeks because of school and I'm scared I won't remember what I'm doing or how to do it. The struggle is real.

Is there an established "best place" for farming Blood Chunks?

The gargoyles in Cainhurst and wolves in Upper Cathedral District is where I'd go. Unfortunately, neither of them are really that great. Stat boost discovery when you do it.


For the chalices, should I set each subsequent chalice level on successive tombstones? Is there any advantage to keeping all lit at the same time or whatever?

where does Eileen go after finishing her quest? There's a pool of blood where she used to be. I was just wondering if it's implied that she's died or that she potentially survived?

Is this a glitch or have I just never seen these guys teleport before? lol

Speed running to NG++ and reaching Unseen Village to grab the loot is arguably the fastest way... xD

 

[Dmonzy]

The legit way: whenever he's holding the katana one handed, you want to be careful not to spam r1, otherwise he can and will one shot you with a parry, so parry him instead, be patient, use numbing mist every now and then so that he won't heal (not guaranteed that it will work all the time). When he tricks up the chikage you have a bit more leeway to hit him, since he can't parry you then. Wait until his bone effect is gone and go all out.

The cheap way? Poison him, lure him to the entrance and fight him a bit there till he tricks up the katana, he'll start losing hp, you can either run around and bait him a few times while trading blows with him until he dies, or just flat out wait by the door, he will probably glitch and stand still while losing hp.

Even though he might be the hardest fight in the game, it's very satisfying when you kill him in a straight duel, so it's well worth it to learn his moveset and try to beat him at his own game imo.

EDIT: beaten xD

Using your supply of numbing mist isn't a very good strategy since he will only heal once. It's better to just carefully whittle him down and let him heal and use up his vial.

 

[Respect]

Soul memory is still better than the broken MP of Bloodborne though.

I'll take bloodbornes atm...it has been out a month, it can be fixed...soul memory is still in DaS 2, even in the remaster, they obviously don't think that is broken, even though they keep applying in game bandaid fixes.

I didn't know he only healed once, well he never did more than once in my game but I always thought I just got lucky. If that is the case then using the mist is indeed useless. Let the guy heal, if a player can keep his cool and not be greedy he goes down quite reliably. Anyway, you learn something every day

So you can get effectively only 4 rocks from chalices and the rest you'll have to get from playthroughs?

I think you can get more. One per depth 5 chalice, per kind. So a rotten, a fetid, a cursed, a regular. Am I wrong?

Do the items you pick up affect the way a chalice is created?

Non-root chalices are always the same. Root chalices vary based on ingredients used to make them, and are randomized at creation time.

 

[On Demand]

When you get to a big round room and there's no way to continue, you are done with that chalice. You have have so many slots to open a chalice. Erasing one free that tomb so you an open another one.

Do the items you pick up affect the way a chalice is created?

 

[Kadey]

All right. I'm stuck. I'm supposed to ascend Oedon chapel. Don't know where or what that is.

 

[Aaronology]

Ahaha, you got flashstepped.

A glitch, but man some teleporting enemies like that would be radical.

 

[knitoe]

Do the items you pick up affect the way a chalice is created?

Nope. Chalice just requires materials. If you have enough, you can create it. The Root versions are random, with different layout, monsters and chest loots, while the normal ones are the same for everyone. You can find better loot in the Root Chalices.

 

[Mephala]

[plasticpassion]

What do you advise I spend points when leveling? My goal is to finish the chalice dungeons so I can get the platinum. Don't care much for pvp. I'm in NG+ and about to start the first Ailing Loran Chalice (as soon as I get enough damned ritual blood 4s). i primarily use Ludwigs +10 (physical dmg) and am considering trying the cane if I can get it to +10.

My current stats are:
-Vitality 38
-endurance 30
-strength 25
-skill 36
-Bloodtinge 7
-arcane 9

 

[Mindlog]

Blow up Vitality. At least 50 would be optimal and more than that is butter.
I used cane so the only other stat I really pumped was Skill. Pump up whatever does the most for LHB.

Got to and finished up Bloodstarved Beast a few hours ago. The fight went a lot better than all the other boss battles I've had so far, only died a few times before I got it, the last quarter of the fight was the only thing that was giving me trouble.

Couple questions:

1. At this point I have 11 insight, I thought that once I was at 10+ insight there would be an additional shop that unlocks in the Hunters Dream but I couldn't find it. Granted, I didn't look very hard but I didn't see anything infront of the house. Do I have to take an additional step or was I just not looking very hard?

2. Spoilers if you haven't completed the stuff I mentioned above and a little bit after.

After beating Bloodstarved beast I couldn't see an obvious way to move ahead so I started backtracking. Along the way I ran into an enemy with a huge sack slung over its back and died to it. I've moved onto the next area

Spoiler

unseen village

after said enemy and during my exploration I run into a spot with a couple of these guys. They're not too bad in the beginning but after sustaining enough damage they go into a frenzy and I just can't seem to take em on. Am I supposed to git gud or is this the design telling me to go explore elsewhere for now? If it helps, I'm late level 20-something or possibly early 30's.

Insight shop is directly above the regular messenger shop. And yes, you should git gud for those bag enemies. They're extremely aggressive but manageable.

Ps4 harddrive pooted out on me and I had to re-initialize the system. Turns out Bloodbournes saves were not backing up..
In hindsight, pretty sure the system was constantly bringing up on boot that there was an error uploading the save to cloud storage. Really should've looked into that..

It's kind of amazing how intimidating Cleric Beast is the first time you fought him and now on a new character I defeat him in just one try with a level 4 Waste of Skin with little to no trouble, lol. I didn't even use any Molotovs and only use like, 5 blood vials total.

 

[joecanada]

I think I coop'ed the entire game with a friend. I'd summon him to walk to the boss with me in my world then he'd summon me to walk him to his boss to beat it. Ddin't even solo any bosses til towards the end.

I'd say it worked for us 80% of the time with passwords. Other 20% we either waited a while or it didn't work.

There's a whole thread about this so consider yourself lucky. I've been trying every day for 3 days straight hour at a time to coop with a friend.

And yes I've done it before so I know it works but more like 90% not and 10 maybe.

Read the thread there's multiple pages of the same exact stories

Hey what's the Pvp "cap" ? Been slowly getting into Pvp. There's a few things I picked up since as always bowing before a match, no blood vials unless my opponent uses it, and if a beast suddenly aggros on whomever, back off and let them kill the beast.

Without a doubt, Abhorrent Beast has to be the biggest Dickhead boss in the game. Seriously, fuck that guy. So aggressive, runs at you, relentless extremely tough to Melee toe to toe.

Using your supply of numbing mist isn't a very good strategy since he will only heal once. It's better to just carefully whittle him down and let him heal and use up his vial.

I swear he can heal twice, but all the times I took to take him down blur into one a bit. Either way I agree that using numbing mist isn't a great idea though, considering it's hard to re-supply on (I think?).

The strategy I used was to dodge foward and to the left of his non-combo non-transformed attack. He lingers for a second or so after doing it, which is enough time to get a back stab in, even if he turns around the charge attack should stagger him and you can get a few good hits in (this was with the saw spear).

It's hard and sometimes frustrating so I can understand people cheesing it, but it's a very satisfying fight to beat legitimately.

It did disappoint me that
