What's so great about Ludwig's sword? I've been using it as my secondary weapon but I see a lot of people seem to be using it as a primary. I've been using the saw cleaver because it stun locks like 90% of the enemies in the game.

Ludwig staggers guys for me that the cleaver won't

OT4 already? Damn, still moving fast.

No official strategy guide for this game means there are a lot of people with a lot of questions.

4 OT's already.

Now that I've got my skill and quality characters, I'm wondering which to make now.

Tbf we'd probably be still on OT1 if the game didn't have built in 40 second breaks for us to post on gaf

So does Ludwig's if you hit with L2.

Good scaling and amazing moveset. 2H form staggers like a beast and it has a move for almost any situation, covers a lot of distance and most importantly, hits like a truck.

The R1, R1, L1 combo is fantastic for clearing large groups of enemies.

Yeah, quite a few changes.

I'm glad they removed that feather effect lol

I was expecting Rom to be some like big challenge. I don't get it. Don't lock on, ignore spiders, hit and run. All his attacks can be dodged.

 

[LiK]

Not sure if anyone here is a fan of DaveControlLive on YT. He's done Souls LPs and guides and he's been doing a LP for BB and there has been lots of pretty hilarious moments. Worth watching if you want something BB-related to watch along side ENB's LP.

The boss itself isn't a big problem. It's just that odd spider divebomb that gets you now and then and when you panick in that moment you'll probably die.

He's definitely one of the tougher bosses in the game.

My successful strat involved being up in his face the entire time with either fire or bolt paper + beast pellets so that I could stagger him as much as possible. That and using the environment to get some much needed healing off. It was a pretty messy fight overall though, with relatively few parries.

Lololol pearl was a joke guess I was waaaay over leveled I killed him in like 6 sword swings... Main taking sooo slow with this game will be sad when their is no new areas in the game to explore I looove to slow pace the game makes me do when I don't know an area it's the game the about the game...

-great scale, best weapon for quality build
- two handed mode is the go to as it has decent range
- R1 attack is great for mobs of bosses
- R2 charge attack is great and doesn't risk much as it's a powerful thrust
- L2 attack is great as a finisher to two R1s. Or L1 after 2 R1 attacks for mobs

I also have wheel as secondary for blunt.

Just beat the bosses on the second level of the first chalice dungeon. There were 3 Merciless Watchers and instead of rushing in to my guaranteed doom I just used the stairs to bait them out and separated them. After that I just went to work and wrecked their asses. What a fun, but strategic battle that one was, thank god I was patient and thought my way through it.

I'm pretty sure that Hunter killed me more times then every boss before that area put together.

I saw how badly it could go when I tried to fight honourably the first time. no longer have any honour when playing Bloodborne.

I did almost the exact same lol same strategy for the Hunter but it took me 3 tries for R

Spoiler

om.

I just ran around the outside and then through a gap in the small spiders, hit him a few times and ran back out. Ran in circles outward to dodge the meteors and repeated. One of the easiest fights for sure, though I used up all 20 vials haha

That's exactly what I did, too. Kept circling around, waited for an opening, then sprinted in and smashed him with with an R2 from Ludwig's Blade. It took 8 minutes and 23 vials, but it worked!

No official strategy guide for this game means there are a lot of people with a lot of questions.

I used a guide for Dark Souls and I found a lot of the enemy strategies in it were meh. The maps were great, though.
