Did I fall for a meme with this Threaded Cane business, or what?
Started a new game and picked it earlier (after doing my first playthrough with the Saw Cleaver + Hunter Axe) and it feels... quite unremarkable? The standard R1 string is exactly what you'd expect: ya feel like an older guy waving his cane around. Far from the awesome, meaty feeling of hitting things with a blade. In its transformed, whip-like state, the weapon is a bit more interesting, but I feel quite stationary when using it that way, and it just doesn't feel as powerful as it should. The axe's spin attack is, comparatively, far more devastating, and superior for crowd control.
Not sure that I'll stick with it yet. This will be a skill playthrough, so if it's not the Threaded Cane, I've gotta find something else fun to use that benefits primarily from that stat.
I'd use the Saw Cleaver. Then you can build up a bit of skill and strength for the untransformed Chikage, and put points in Bloodtinge after you get it.Hello friends, I wanted to ask to the veterans, which starting weapon should I take in order to do a new playthrough with the chikage being my main down the line ?

Same here. Someone on here once said the Threaded Cane makes the game into a pseudo-Castlevania, which I would love to be the truth but the damn thing just never does it for me.I've never been able to get into the Threaded cane. The transformed mode is good to keep groups of enemies at bay, but I always struggle against bosses and end up swapping it for another Skill weapon.
So been playing through on a 99 arcane build and omg. This is so much fun. It's also not difficult at all at the start of the game. God bless YouTuber' Speed Lee's guide. Been largely following his build with some tweaks.
Torching Amelia
Executioner's Gloves broken af vs Amy
Gloves vs Rom
Damn! I'll have to try that with my level 240 character, which has 45 on Arcane.
I don't remember what Arcane/Fire gems I have though.
I'd recommend starting from a new build itself. Cruel Fate start. It's just satisfying as hell.
I really don't like starting all over, now that I can use all weapons and tools effectively with a single character. I've also farmed +25.3% and +27.2% physical attack gems from the root Chalices, which have only stamina or damage against Kin penalties, and have six +10 weapons and two +9. Although, increasing Arcane now takes a LOT of Blood Echoes.
The DLC is some of the best content in the game, it's tough but it's definately worth pushing through. Have you got to the first boss yet?
Bloody Crow is bs. Its complete nonsense that he has infinite bullets and can spam his guns and hunter tools all day.Argghhh!!! Fuck the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst!! I had him down to a sliver of health and like a complete dumbass I got greedy and he friggin' double shot and visceraled. Arrgggh I was so close!! 😂 😂 😂
This dude is completely nuts. Majority of the time he just two-hit KO's me right at the start of battle before I can even pop a single blood vial lol. Ironically, if you can get him into a good dance he clearly isn't that hard it's just one misstep into his gun and you're toast. The dance step dodging needed for his fight is fun, at least.
Lol, yeah he's a right bastard!Bloody Crow is bs. Its complete nonsense that he has infinite bullets and can spam his guns and hunter tools all day.
Oh man, decided to pick up Bloodborne again after nearly two years. I only made it around halfway through the first time (did everything up until Rom, including Logarius and Amygdala), before another game I had been waiting for came out and distracted me from it. Never managed to come back to it, and after so long I figured it'd just be best to start over.
And holy shit at myself, I've managed to beat both the Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne on my first try and I've only died twice so far to mobs. Which is crazy insane improvement cuz I'm fairly certain I had died just about 8430984032 times (and at least a quarter of which was spent solely on Gascoigne) by this point the first time around. 😂
I feel so powerful! And it's such a rush, too, cuz this game scares the shit out of me. Everything about it is so creepy and stressful and I'm constantly anxious af about what's gonna be around the next corner lol. Feels good to be kicking its butt so far. (Countdown until that luck runs out lol...)
Started Bloodborne three weeks ago and I'm obsessed. Might be my favorite game of all time!
I liked the Souls games but struggled. I'm psyched to go back and play them now. Anyone have experience going back to Souls after BB? I feel like the aggressiveness of BB could make Souls easier/slower.
I think Dark Souls is still the best game in the series but the transition from Bloodborne to Dark Souls III would be the easiest combat wise.
Why are the shark giant enemies harder than any boss in the fucking game?
From trolling us. One is tough but fine one on one. But 2 especially having one of them hiding on the ceiling is straight trolling.Why are the shark giant enemies harder than any boss in the fucking game?
Just got my platinum. Fuck them CDs. How good is the DLC? I have it, but not sure if it's worth playing through or not.
The DLC is amazing, especially if you loved the game enough to platinum it. It's significantly long, has a ton of new and interesting weapons, and has some of the best bosses in the game.Just got my platinum. Fuck them CDs. How good is the DLC?

Play it.
Only issue is, it's already NG+ difficulty on NG. So prepare for it to be very hard. It sucks you are automatically taken to NG+ upon finishing the game, because that puts the DLC even harder.
However, it is utterly fantastic. Amazing DLC. The environments are just so good.
I backed up my save just before finishing the last boss so I could go back and do the DLC without having to play through a bunch of stuff in NG+.
Hey ya'll, it's my first time getting this far in the game I was playing with the volume off (son taking a nap) and didn't realize the NPC in the Odeon chapel was friendly so I killed the fuck out of him and got a trophy, (something about a rune). Am I going to miss some serious shit now? Tried reloading but there's only one save.
Aw man...oh well. I really don't have time to start over at this point. I guess I'm just accidentally roleplaying my character as chaotic evil.Not sure but I -think- you miss out on being able to bring npcs there to safety if hes dead.
DLC has the hardest boss in the game. Was the closest a From game has come to breaking me. I just felt like I couldn't do it.
I assume Orphan of Kos is who you are referring to? Weirdly I had no issue with him, think I downed him 2nd or 3rd try.
Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos, however, lives on in my nightmares...
