so I beat all the dlcs and talked to vendrick and got his blessing... soooooo he cured the undead curse right? So there's no reason to have a Dark Souls 3? DS3 is confirmed to be fanfiction?

i think it's sort of the opposite, you can't break the cycle, and whatever vendrick wrecked his country trying to do only works if you wear a specific crown. so it's basically useless. it's the recurring theme of the series that you can't beat nature (the curse, the dying of the fire, humanity's brutality), and people who try are fools. i think that's what aldia says? it's been a while since i've played.

its perhaps my only complaint about bloodborne. and maybe the huge dudes not being a lot of fun to fight

the blood vial farming is one of the only complaints you can legitimately have about bloodborne and even that got kinda fixed when they changed the max stored vials from 99 to 600

once you get to defiled dungeons you can basically run through a whole root version and have enough echoes to buy 300 vials at a time, but yeah, it's more tedious than it should be

My strat was stacking the echoes boosting tunes and running through the top of the nightmare of mensis for 100k echoes each run

I'd go to margo's middle loft section where the three pigs are. You can get tons of echoes in a few minutes there.

Rock the augur for parries.

R2 combo is strong. Running R2 has huge hit boxes. Jumping R2 is really nice too. I never used jumping attacks before my claw run.

Don't bother with the temp beast transform runes. They literally only add like +50 for a couple minutes. A waste. Run stamina and hp IMO. Maybe double stamina.

The L2 scream doesn't have as much knock back as the beast roar but it does build the meter a little. You can hit multiple enemies at once or use it on their bodies. Idk if it reflects projectiles like the beast roar does.

Claws can be buffed.

I found out that the cursed -60 weapon durability gems don't really stack and/or it doesn't matter. Wearing one or two -60 durability just means your weapon goes down by 1 durability EVERY swing. Can be useful for bosses if most of your gems suck or have bad combos (like -beast or something for beast bosses)

im doing one at the moment, but its a no parry run. playing unlocked is nice since you move fast. i actually think the jumping attack isnt very good, you have to really land on the enemy to do full damage with it, but its nice for killing birds and snakes and stuff. i havent used the l2 yet, maybe i will use it for ebrietas or micolash or something.

If you've made it past Rom you should be able to take on anything after him, ability-wise. There aren't many new techniques to learn after that.

10 tries on Rom though... What killed you?

check out this little detail i just noticed:

if you kill an enemy and splatter their blood all over the ground, if the blood lands on a message then the messengers will have little blood stains on their hats

The blood physics and splatters in general are really freaking cool in BB. Killed some enemy with a swing from left to right and there was a huge splatter on the wall. Could bring CSI in there and they could tell what weapon, at what speed and in which direction I swung.

well, most jumping attacks are. but the beast claws version isnt very good in my opinion. plus your roll travels further anyway.

Mostly dodging away from bolts and into spiders. At first I was trying to kill all the spiders which is why I died so much.

Rom was surprisingly hard for me the first few times because of this, the rock spiders do a lot of damage when they fall on you

The spiders can like block you or have high defense from the front. If you get behind them they are really easy to kill. Of course as I learned you don't need to kill a single one.
