Nourishing. Also, you do more damage one-handed with STR, but more two-handed (and with the projectiles) with ARC. It's suggested to do a 25/50 or 50/25 split depending on what you'd rather focus on.
I might actually replay the game around March 10th just to help people out during the event. I'm mostly a one-and-done kind of player as I love to experience new games rather than replay ones I already beat... but I can't have enough of this one.
Best game this gen, probably all time. The lore of everything is just incredible. Most fun gameplay of any game I ever played. Exquisite music. Atmosphere that sucks you right in. How did From make such a game still baffles me? Masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Happy (re) Bloodborne day, y'all!
And yeah, BB is one of my favorite games of all time. Phenomenal game.

So I may make a thread about it but just a heads up this Saturday the 10th is return to yarhnam, a community event to repopulate the game for co-op and invasions. Plan on doing both if anyone needs any help or wants to pvp a little.
If you literally just walk to his right he can never hit you.
Yeah, let's do this tonight. But first, we need to get weapons/items early via Chalice tier runes (Credit goes to Ferrs)
See the above.
Edit: I assume what your post said that it depends on specific stats? Say, if you want Chikage and Moonlight GS to equip on both hands (Is that what you meant?) If so, then you gotta have to increase your STR more and sometimes it can be apply with other stats, too.
If your question isn't match with my answer. I suggest look up in GameFAQ, the weapon affix guides are all there.

Damn. DAMN!
I started getting back into this last night and today. Booted up my game from OY and realized that I didn't remember anything about the CW so I went back to explore...
An hour later, my sandwich I'd made for lunch was still sitting on its plate--uneaten.
There's so much you DON'T know in this game! Why everything is the way it is. What the heck
, what does Insight do, etc., etc. You're constantly going improving and yesterday's indefeasible giant is today's chump that you nonchalantly dodge past before cutting it down for blood echoes..
You're not even really sure where to go. I'm just exploring while trying to remember all the different paths I took to get where I am (at any given moment). It's a crazy game. I bought Monster Hunter: World the other day, but have been playing this (way) more! H-halp!!

just picked me up and blasted me in an apparently uninhabited place in the Cathedral Ward

I was at level 171 (STR 50, SKL 50, BLT 30, ARC 11) before I started NG+, and after clearing most of the chalices.
Now I'm at level 230 (STR 50, SKL 55, BLT 50, ARC 40) after NG+, DLC, and several additional Chalice dungeons.
Oh, I'd love to do that as well. Can you give any pointers to specific Glyph codes? I've been meaning to get Beasthunter Saif and some other remaining ones to +10.
These still work? Wait, don't you need the original weapon first before picking these up...? If not, woo hoo! Guess I will be making a low level invasion build after all!
Also, in terms of gem set-up, what's the difference between Uncanny, Lost and OG?
Honestly, I would recommend 25/25/50 for MLG (even 50/25/50 if you can). 2-handed still scales with STR and SKL (SKL to 25 gives better returns than STR from 25 to 50) so you need it high unless you want a worse Ludwig sword but the beams scales crazy with ARC and without it you miss half the appeal.
For the DLCs, you do need the original weapon because DLC weapons are not in coffers but in the shop. But for vanilla weapons this doesn't apply.
About the differences, basically each version have a different gem sockets. This is because some socket distribution may be better in Lost variants or Uncanny... you basically have to look what is the best gem setup and then decide what variant you go. It's really for min-maxing anyways, all of them are viable.
Awesome, thanks. Guess I'm going shopping. :)
Looks like Uncanny has extra physical gems...? My Skill build was aiming for the Burial Blade, so that works.
ayyyy lmao that's ugly.
Uncanny Burial Blade is indeed the best for a physical set up (and the best BB overall)
Ka-goddamned-ching!
One more question, if you don't mind (sorry!): Lost Chikage... would that be optimal for a Bloodtinge build? I think I read somewhere it has a circle gem which is purely for Blood Attack, yah?
I'm excited to give this game a go, haven't touched the series since the original demon souls. Don't have high expectations considering how badly I did at the first game but I was only 11/12 at the time so maybe I'll do better on this one. I remember giving up after getting stuck on a long bridge with a dragon.
If you want the Chikage only for the Blood mode in a pure Bloodtinge build (and IMO you should) Lost variant is indeed the best. Blood mode scales either with physical and Blood gems, but Physical gems top at 27% while Blood gems can go up to 31%, so that's more damage added.
If you want to use both modes (a mixed SKL/BT build) the regular Chikage and all physical gems is the best.
Blood mode Chikage to me is always preferable because it does more damage and it has the unsheath attack when transforming that does even more damage and you should always use it as an opening for your attacks.
Not going to lie. A Bloodborne PS4 Pro patch might get me to cave on a pro.
If Konami can trophy patch MGS4 years later, Sony can pay for a Bloodborne Pro patch. Shu, pls.
A Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 PS4 Pro Patch would probably push me to upgrade.
Awesome again! Thank you.
My main is 50/25 BT/SKL with Chikage/Bowblade/Evelyn so I rely on bloodtinge and blood mode for my big damage. I prefer the riskier playstyle over the 50/50 approach.
I tend to either open straight away with the quick draw or pull it on the second hit of a combo, so we're on the same page!
Thanks again.
Dark Souls 3 has a pro patch.
My Bloodhunter man!
DS3 got one. It's okay. Unlocked framerate.
BB is the GOAT though. It missing a Pro patch is a crime against humanity. I'd replay it again. Sequel too plz.
No shit. I checked a few months back and didn't see it listed on the Era Pro Patch topic. I might need to seriously consider a PS4 Pro--would do wonders for Horizon and DS3.
I think in the beginning at least that will depend on how much you relied on shields in the Souls games. That was a difficult transition for me when I played BB.
I pretty much had my shield up the whole game, honestly. This should be an extra challenge then, but that's what I really want even if it be incredibly frustrating.
You won't miss the shield. Trust me. This is a game about riposte. Get your gun and put a bullet in their heads!
It just took an hour or two to get used to being more aggressive, since like you I was pretty much also hiding behind my shield the whole time in Demon's and Dark Souls 1. It won't be long before you don't want to go back to hiding behind a shield! :)
lol the people playing for the first time.
Good luck getting passed the first area without dying 100+ times.
I havent played the game since it came out, but threaded cane is the best starter weapon.

Good to hear. I felt like the shield definitely made DS3 easier than it should have been. It was my crutch. I will probably do a play through in the future with less shield-hiding.
Nice! I'm looking forward to being more aggressive. I felt like I was always waiting for an opening in DS3 rather than being aggressive. Maybe this'll make it more enjoyable. :D
And man. The first area is intimidating as fuck. Don't give it up. Try again and again. The game pretty much teaches you the mechanics on the first area.
once you pass through the two warewolves, consider yourself ready. Or sort of.
Anyone have any tips for the second phase of Orphan of Kos. I can visceral the hell out of his first phase, and get to the second with nearly all my blood vials intact. But in his second phase he just goes berserk, and I barley have time to breath, let alone heal or attack him.
Edit: My main weapon is Ludwig's Holy Blade. I also use Simmon's Bow Blade.

Axe spin to win is easier for newbies. Makes the big guys easy work.
Yeah, but the saw cleaver does extra damage to beasts, meaning all the bosses up to Amelia should be easier with it.

Can you level up and be OP in this game, or does it limit/scale you as you progress through the story?
