What's it scale with? I'd probably have to build another character to get the most out of it.
Bloodborne |OT++++| Now with Trusty Patches

Used that weapon on chalices, bad for clearing waves of enemies but super useful on big single targets
Well if you want ASAP then yeah just kill him. Checked the gallery and couldn't find the video. I have video of using it against Micholash though so might want to check that?
C/C with Str/Skill so if you have character with 25-30 in both Str and Skill it would be at its best I guess.
Basically yeah. It feels more like a PVP weapon than PVE.

I mean I could put it on my 177 character with 35 str and 50 skill, but with a +10 cane and +10 Chikage what's the point?
Orochinagis
Member
Yep, I tried to use it further but wasnt my style, the weapon do a lots of crit damage like the chikage anyway but its cooldown is not really worth it
To try out I guess? You could always just start a new character and dedicate to it considering you get it really early.

I saw your Micolash vid and it might not suit my play style. I like having more distance between me and my targets. The Blades of Mercy may be close in but at least they're pretty quick and effective. I might try it one day and I'll probably pair that with something else. Maybe after I see what the weapons the dlc add in scale with and see how those play. Might be good paired with that heavier chain whip.
it does effectively double the damage of the other mode charge attack, worth it if one has the time to get that critical.
also...
"The Nightmare swirls and churns unending"
that would be a perfect OT title for the DLC... Micolash is such a good voiced character

Just wait until Old Hunters... there looks to be some pretty badass weapons to base a new build around.

I really hope the DLC throws in more chunks than the base game.

I've been hording chunks in the 2nd half of the game, saving them up for Old Hunters. But I agree, they are too few and far between... hopefully they throw in 2 or 3 Blood Rocks as well.
Very productive and successful day today - pimmsy has met Eileen the Crow, picked up the Saw Spear, unlocked the gate next to Viola's daughter and gained the Tiny Music Box, upgraded the Cane to +1, performed her first successful intentional parry(!) against the Brick Troll outside Cleric Beast and met Cleric Beast itself, so now she can level up.
I'm just getting her to pump up her Vitality for the time being, as starting with 15 Skill is pretty high for a new character and I feel she'll benefit more from being able to survive attacks and recover than doing slightly more damage. I can also see her abusing Bold Hunters Marks a lot as she feels like she needs to do something with the Blood Echoes she picks up before she has a chance to die and lose them.
It'll be interesting to see how many tries Cleric Beast takes her...

True test is Father G. Reading these should be fun. Too bad you didn't tell her about the two Madman's Knowledge in that level so she could level up earlier, but I guess that's a pro strat. Leveling up skill increases visceral damage too though, so the better she gets better at viscerals the more she's going to want that to pay off, but that'll come in due time though. I didn't really start using BHM's till I started doing the chalices more. The deeper you get into those damn things the less you want to backtrack to the lantern. At least with the main game the shortcuts are thrown in there pretty well.
The untransformed moveset is basically the same as BoM. The low reach is why I don't really care for it or BoM that much. Sometimes I really want to have some space between enemy and me.
Yeah it is pretty great if you have the time to charge it.
Micholash is my favorite boss mostly because the fight is an event more than a fight. The VO is so good.
cross posting from the DLC thread:
I highly suspect the DLC will take place at the grand cathedral, because of the ascending ladders of the DLC trailer as well as the shot from the clock at the end of the trailer
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The Blades are quick and are actually good at taking care of enemies with no super armor. That and I just love stun locking enemies into oblivion.

Yes, its the clock tower you see on the begining, but since this DLC is technically two dlc I wonder if more zones will be incluyed outside the tower and Ludwing himself.
There is also a castle on the Hemwicks Area too

So. I have a theory. The Altar of Despair! It affects the

But that location is very late game.
It would be funny if we actually start the DLC at day, as in, after we wake up from the nightmare or something on those lines.
the shots seems to be kind like a morning Yharnam

Touche, touche. It just makes sense if we were going to see all the Old Hunters. But y'all make a good point.

Only makes sense if the DLC explains how Ebrietas even ended up there.
which reminds me I always wondered how the hell the Yharnamites locked up a motherfuking Great One, a kind of God
They asked her politely.

It's an orphanage. Ebreitas is the Daughter of the Cosmos and the One left behind.
Maybe she's there willingly. They are sympathetic to humans. Plus she seems to be mourning another Rom-esque thing. Maybe she wanted to give them her blood to make a new surrogate, but it died too.

Maybe Micolash asked and was driven insane by the great ones answer.
we already know that he used a third umbilical cord to forcibly ascend to the nightmare realm, he and his scholars at the school of mensis, but since the bodies of all are pretty rotten I wonder if that happened long time ago and Rom was just hiding the effects of the ritual he performed.
he was driven insane by the effects of being at a superior plane, being more intelligent means being more close to be a madman in bloodborne.

I really need to watch some lore vids.
The Old Hunter's guide will supposedly have the most complete and accurate lore for the game. Not everything will be revealed though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI2kdXwkNes
I wish there was ONE guide with all of the information. I'll buy it anyway though
Is Japanese voice going to come with the DLC? Or was it patched in recently?
Had such a great session last night.
Was carefully making my way through Forbidden Woods, dropping shiny coins so as not to lose my way...
Then end up in an
underground poison swamp filled with naked giants and horrible leech things
Grab the items and escape up a ladder, only to end up
all the way back in Central Yharnam.
10 hours ago I had no idea where that gate went. Now my mind is blown.
Currently poking around inside
Iosefka's Clinic
In the process I got a couple of key items cryptically implying that I should go back and explore other areas more carefully.
So excited to jump back in and check them out, but not sure whether to confront
Iosefka
Man, this game is great.

New NPC/Antagonist(?). People are speculating that he's going to have a hand in PVP, since he's supposed to be some sort of bellringer. From the reddit thread:
Within this transient world, old hunters who have been trapped, wander, seeking beasts. One of those is ブラドー (Buradoo, hell if I know how to romanise a name like that, so feel free to add your own input). Wearing the skin of a suspicious beast, and holed up inside a darkened room, he is a bell-ringing man. The drifting aura he exudes is by no means kind.

Jesus, visceral'd ailing loran BSB 8 times to the face straight and that didn't even get him down to 1/2 of his health. This is going to take some time, it's hard to avoid not getting one shotted as it is.
Oh, it makes sense considering he is holding a bell. hopefully he will make invading fast and easy anywhere.

Anyone have any idea when the DLC wills start? I know it's supposed to be early, but how early? I might just go up to Vicar and call it good. If we're at guesses, I'd say somewhere near Blood Starved
Only information is that we will get access to it in the first half of the game meaning somewhere before SoY/Rom. Few places that come to my mind where the enterance will be are the trap door at Byrgenwerth and Amygdala at Oedon Chapel (similiar transition as NF).

What's your skill stat at? Also helps to have the increased visceral damage rune too.

29 or 30 at that point, but my weapons are "only" +7 so that probably lowers it a bit. Got him though, after many tries. Then summoned two guys that made it a breeze to clear layer 3 and the pre-boss bonus area and finished off by crushing Abhorrent Beast in a couple of minutes. Co-oping chalices is just so good.
Haven't passed Rom in the main game yet so no visceral ATK bones runes available. In depth 5 lower loran now, but if I keep going I'm worrying I might be too overleved on this character for the DLC now :/ Depth 4 CDs just nets you so many echoes.

Oh damn. I'm probably many levels below you and I'm at about 27 skill, haven't even beaten the Shadows of Yharnam yet I've just finished the Hintertomb chalice, but I'm too afraid to go into Lower Pthumeru at level 63. I honestly wish the DLC was coming out tomorrow cause I feel like I'm over leveled for the current portion of the game I'm at. I rolled right through Paarl after I got the timing better for the front dodges. Having arcane fire damage on the +6 LHB just made him too easy.

I'm at loran darkbeast now, the last boss of lower loran, and I think this is my stopping point right now. Fire arcane modified LHB +7 does barely anything and I just can't outlive him when I do this amount of damage. Anyway, I came here for some arcane gems and I have found a couple of decent fire and bolt ones at around 15% or so. It'll do for now!

Huh? WHAT? I thought the game had no Japanese voice acting. Where can I listen to it?
Anyway, do we know already where we will find Constable Bucket-Head that comes with the new patch?
The patch does arrive tomorrow, right?
He should be near the elevator near the first lamp in forbidden woods.

does the League patch release alongside The Old Hunters, or prior?
edit: nvrmd, just found an article indicating the patch goes live tomorrow, Nov. 20th.
