why 45 END?
isn't it hard capped at 40?
I stopped to increase when it stopped to give more stamina or poison resistance... that happened when I tried to level up to 46 (no stat increase).

Well I'm almost all stats 50 except BLO and ARC... so it won't will make difference for my build.

Edit - Using this calculator: http://bloodborne.alloyape.com/1398

END 40 = Stamina 160, Poison Res 107
END 45 = Stamina 160, Poison Res 110
END 50 = Stamina 161, Poison Res 114

Little to no difference lol

But I will end leveling ii up to 50.

So i can confirm that the Winter lanterns(Brain maidens) drop 22% phys cursed gems in the dlc, so if you want good gems but dont want to do the chalice dungeons you just have to farm for a bit

Here's an example of taking them both out in NG+, picking up their gem drops and warping out before the frenzy hits:

Depending on your build/runes/armor, you may need a sedative in the middle but there is a definite strategy to dealing with them; they stun lock easily and can be killed pretty fast.

Yeah so nothing fundamentally different than what I do other than a HUGE frenzy resist bar. Pretty manageable! Thanks for showing me that.
 
From's writers or Miyazaki or whoever are amazing. Anyone interested in understanding a bit of the background/reasoning behind why things are named the way they are in the game NEEDS to read this thread on reddit. My mind is literally blown at the level of depth and attention to detail they put into this game. https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne...s_everything_makes_sense_now/?sort=confidence

Episode 8, Pimmsy vs. Martyr Logarius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyfzaGRRPwo

No cheating with NPC summons for this one! As you might imagine, she struggled a bit more with this fight, but she still did very well I think considering there was some serious bullshit of Logarius planting his sword inside the towers in the roof where she couldn't get rid of it.

Dat finish tho.

I decided to go and take down L
aurence
before attempting the Fishing Village. After instantly dying to him the first time, I said fuck it and summoned Valtr for the second attempt, only to be smashed again before even taking away 25% of his health. On the third attempt, I equipped the Bone Ash set and Pizza Cutter (I had been using the Moonlight Blade up until then), summoned a human accomplice, and we wrecked his shit with our Pizza Cutters. Soon after the third phase began, the summoned guy died, but I managed to scrape out a win. It felt great!

Now I've gotten pretty far into Innsmouth (just entered the caves and opened the shortcut back to the second lamp), and it's been pretty easy so far, apart from the sharks. I'm dreading going down that well, though :(

One of my personal GOATs gets GOATier. I don't think anything else I've played of this caliber has this kind of depth in every aspect of the game. I've never been more excited about receiving a new item not for its potential usefulness but for learning about its purpose and connection to the rest of the game world.

As much as I love Dark Souls, Bloodborne definitely has the most fascinating backstory and symbolism of any of their games. Bloodborne's plot and its complexities are so mindboggling and mystifying and yet become even more intriguing when one gains enough insight (pun intended) about them. It naturally leads one to wonder and speculation of the purpose of things. Genius.

still the scariest shit in the game

Damn dem spiders... Well the worse I saw was 3 ringing women in one room. I tried to kill one but quickly found myself running away with a shitload of red spiders on my ass. I think I was crying.

It did not end well
 
That dynamic Hunter's Dream theme is amazing. Anyone knows if it'll come here? If not, can I buy it in a Japanese account using an European PayPal?

You're not alone brother.

Why did I kill her ? I thought this was the only way to get the key (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
And it was on this thread that someone said that I had to kill her for the key, he/she has a cat avatar, don't remember the name x)

Don't look at me, I said nothing of the sort!

Those running grudge looking things use to scare me but not anymore, Augur of Ebrietas makes them my pet goldfish that I accidentally killed too many times to count.

I need a coffee for this.

Eh, I thought Ebritas was a slug in Isz, since the Great one were showed as slugs or maybe the slugs are the parasites. that explains the rom corpse on her room.

I guess the "rom" kin being scholars were the sucessful experiments, it was kinda hard to say seeing the coprse not being open like a crisalid but it makes sense if the DLC aims for that, you can see the Oprhan getting some butterfly esque wings too.

Is 22.3% the best? I've seen glimpses of people talking about 27% but fhaven't been able to find stuff more concrete.

Which one ya mean? I think I've been through all the chalice dungeons by now except mebbe one or two of the Hintertomb shit.

Like he said above, there are some that carry dead bodies, and like I said before, some that have mad poise (you can not stun them) and they regain health when they attack you. I was really taken off guard when I ran into these versions. They are already scary enough, and the earlier ones you can keep at a distance, but these guys will just attack straight through almost anything you do.

Wrapped up Old Hunters last night and got all the trophies. I found it to be a great add-on, definitely worth the asking price. I guess I have now put a bow on Bloodborne, bring on Dark Souls 3!

Quick and probably stupid question.

Was the DLC content included in the latest patch?.
Because I purchased this a few days ago from my phone and now when I go to the page of the DLC it says "purchased" but there is no way to download it

Yep. I think it was 1.07 that had it.

The share feature is so great. I was farming these for a bit just to get enough gems to fit a couple weapons, and I realized I had it down to a science after a few rounds and it was simple to just grab footage of a successful run, and join it with footage at the rune altar and upload it.

There's no way I would have bought a dedicated streaming product but this was so fun to make that I'm thinking about getting a mic and live streaming my first run through when Dark Souls 3 comes out.

You just bought an access to the DLC. It's already on your PS4 :)
