Any fellow first time players? Genuinely surprised at how well the game runs on Lantern Engine, this is way better than any official port Snoy could give us.
Real fans play on ps4.
If I start a new save, the game renders fine, but if I load an imported shadps4 save it's just a white screen with the UI on it.
>>750089313did you use the in-launcher import option or do it manually?
Sony could actually made serious cash from a PS5 port. Now it's too late for them.
my fucking face when i only learned in an ai slop port with fan made online that nightmare frontier is an active pvp zone until you kill a bell ladyi played fully offline on ps4
I am beating the game
>>750089947>depth 8wat
>>750089830I beat the game with like 6 characters on psn and got invaded one time
Is there a way to make depth 4 or 5 hintertomb? Or cursed? Do people make custom chalices with story stuff like with The One Reborn as a boss?
>>750089494In-launcher. Got the same result with manual import, too.Shows up fine in shadps4
>>750090137cummm is more filling at higher depths
>>750090192i loaded in twice yesterday and got invaded both times
>>750088997I loved playing this game growing up.
>>750088997every souls game has to have a poison swamp area
>>750090441I can at least see with motion vectors on, but I'll probably just finish this save on shadps4 then start a new file on lantern engine
>>750091702
>>750091770the hunter’s lsd
What?smart man, you will explain this to joe
>>750089947This actually works on PC? How? Did someone remake it or is it actually capable of accessing the servers?
nightmare frontier is really funny at higher levels sl~85because these dudes 100% cheated in souls so they're like SL90+ with dogshit weapon upgrades doing no damage whatsoever
>>750092383just tried it on a whim and it works just as it used to. i'm online using huntersdream
DS3 really was just Bloodborne but we put back in shields and backstabs and instead of sidehops you can just roll 15 times with one stamina bar.
>>750092783and with none of the charm of bloodborne
>>750092783Yeah it felt like BB but downgraded in order to fit into the DS gameplay style
Brehs... this game is so good
This seems an appropriate a place as any to askAny news on a Unicorn Overlord decompile?
>>750092174chalice dungeons have weapon drops they have special prefixes though, Uncanny or Lost They have different blood gem slot shapes depending on its prefix. Other than that, they are identical to the vanilla weapon
>>750088997I desire more first timers experiences. Tell me first timers what has been your favorite boss so far? Your favorite area, what do you think is total bullshit? Let me live vicariously through you and experience my first time once again.
>>750094004i tried a few new weapons but they're all just shittier than the saw cleaver what's up with that
>>750093112cainhurst is kino, have fun
Can I do keybinding on this or am I gonna need a controller?
>>750088997Are there any mods that I should get?
>>750094004i just beat the mystery niggas and honestly all of the bosses except father gascoigne have been a little disappointing so far, im hoping they start getting better soonblood starved beast was alright, vicar amelia and darkbeast paarl were cool but kinda easy
>play through the game multiple times years ago>starting a new run now>post gascion>going through yarnem picking up stuff i missed>go to gascions lanturn>two random npcs ive never seen before are fighting eachother>one aggros on me, other aggros on me after i accidently poke it with my sword>kill bothWtf was that. Did i miss anything by killing both npcs? I figure i was supposed to kill the vaguely yellow guy without aggroing the other one? Ive played this game like five times and had no idea they were there because why the fuck would you realistically go back to that lanturn. Fucking fromsoft npc quests
>>750089191LOL no
>>750094538You've never done Eileen's quest?
>>750094153hunter's axe is pretty good but feels underwhelming compared to the saw cleaver until you have a shitload of strength and relevant blood gems (which is way outside the scope of a normal playthrough). whirligig saw is fun, but a DLC weapon unless you go cave-diving to find a lost/uncanny variation.>>750094434I imagine you'll be disappointed by most boss' difficulty until the DLC or lower chalice depths.
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>750094218You can use a mouse and keyboard. You really shouldn't, but you can.
>>750095259out fucking played
seamless coop mod when?
is it a good idea to just go all the way up to level 250 on my first character if i want to try out everything in the game before i start making specialized characters? i'm guessing there's zero online activity at that level
it's literally ds3 without shieldsi feel like such a cuck for desiring it for 10 years..
>>750089313@claude fix this save for meuse this reference [shad save] [original save] [decrypted original save]
>>750096120and with better movesets, better areas and atmosphere, ranged parries, and rallywhich makes it ds3 but good
are upgrade materials all farmable? pissed me off only getting 14 or whatever titanite slabs per playthrough in DS3
I have no idea why I decided to attack that window. I think huntersdream had gone offline or something and I didn't restart it because I had stopped seeing messages and any online features for a while yesterday night. I imagine if you're online you'll do it because there's a bunch of messages there. But if you aren't, I guess you just do it on a whim? The window looked inviting. But this is not the sort of game where you're usually breaking glass, I can't think of another instance where this is a thing, there's like 5000 glass windows in Yharnam and I guess that is literally the only breakable one.So really I don't know why I attacked it. I cannot explain.
Is lantern engine a whole lot better than bbport?I was playing with that just fine at 180fps with fsr 4.1.1, would I get better GPU performance out of it?
>>750096780i used lantern for the most part at ~90 until i kept crashing at the Rom cutsceneswitched back to supermedo and get 120 fps now for some reasonat this point that one seems to be better, at least for me
>>750092383>>750092665unless you are unaware, chalice dungeons aren't truly randomall the various possible dungeons technically existwhen you 'create' a dungeon you are just revealing its glyphthus, the glyph will always represent the same dungeon
>>750096780>>750096981gotta add that i don't use any of that upscaling mumbo jumbo1.0x at 1080p
>>750097035And yet it still needs online to fetch it.
>>750095347I beat every single souls game, sekiro, and elden ring on keyboard and mouse. I think I'll be fine
>>750097253you could drive a car with your ass while your hands operate the pedals that doesn't make it not miserable
>>750088997Bros I'm playing blind and having a blast.Just beat Amelia and it feels like the whole game just opened up. There's like 3 or 4 new places I could explore right now.
Could someone go pay the Huntersdream guys so their servers don't run on cardboard
>>750097336any game where you can freely control the camera is played better with a mouse unless you're mentally disabled or brown
>try lantern engine>actually add options in the game>pc camera control toovery good
>>750088997midborne
Are these guys supposed to ever drop gems with 2 good stats on them? I keep hearing about gems with shit like phys atk + atk at max hp + a curse or something like that but I've only ever gotten gems with just 1 positive and 1 curse. Not sure if this is how it goes and it's just super rare or what, I've killed them some 30 times.
Had a bug with Mergo's Wet Nurse. Half her body was missing and her clone wasn't coming out to attack. I am using Lantern Engine.
>A single solitary specimen on the entire base game >at the back of Byrgenwerth, looking at the lake>part animal, part insect, part glowing plant>conjures meteors >when it's dead, it warps out to god knows where>not a single fucking word about this thing anywhere in game kino
>>750096731wtf do you need that many slabs for?
>>750088997I have little experience with Soulslike games in general and had a pretty rough time defeating the Blood-Starved Beast. Really goes to show how Soulslike players having a rough time with the Nioh games also makes the opposite true.
>>750097729Any game that requires 360° movement is literally unplayable on KBMIt works for grid based shit or games where quick movements don't matter.Guess i'll have to call you a TRANNY since brown is already taken
>>750098181i played a LOT of pvp, 14 slabs isn't nearly enough if you like to play around with different weapons
bbport or shadps4? I'm on linux
>>750098176There's a bunch of them in the labyrinth, the one in Byrgenwerth obviously came from there. Considering Byrgenwerth's connection to the labyrinth, then you can think up of any reason that makes sense for it to be there. Maybe they brought it back up to study and it just escaped. Maybe they were "communioning" with it. The connection is there, but the specific details is something each person has their own. As is often the case with a lot of souls stuff.
>>750096120tasteless postnobody actually misses playing Dark "seven fucking poison fucking swamps" Souls 3
>>750096731If I recall correctly upgrade materials for weapons up to +9 are easily farmable. The upgrade to get it to +10 (max) I think is only 1 or 2 per playthrough. So you'll get more on ng+1 and so on.Mind you there isn't much of a difference between 9 and 10.
>>750098386the latest beta release of lantern engine has its first linux build, you could try that
i feel like i made a mistake why's her body all fucked up too
>>750098479There's been a lot of people baiting pretty obviously in these threads for whatever reason. Maybe they're upset a ps4 exclusive is being played on pc. Maybe they're just upset at people having fun. Maybe they are just monkeys in nature. Who knows. I don't even bother replying.
Abhorrent Beast is the hardest boss in the game and you can't convince me otherwiseThe Depth 4 one is unironically harder than the Depth 5 one too
Where do I get the game files?
>>750098482the wiki says you can get blood rocks from depth 5 chalice dungeon bosses, is that true?i assume it is but >fextralife
>>750098583I fought the one in the loran story chalice yesterday and I did not think it was a difficult fight. Is that the one in depth 4? Is it because I'm only on NG (not in any +) or does it not affect chalices?Also, my build is pretty busted so maybe it just got stat checked.
>>750098482i mean you can also grind insight and just buy them outright
>>750094538That's Eileen's quest, bucko. Henryk, Gascoigne's partner, went mad and Eileen was tasked with taking him down before he succumbed to the Beastly Scourge. You can meet her after you reach the Oedon Chapel lantern, she's hanging around the balcony outside. She'll likely die if you let her fight Henryk alone, but if you help her and you both kill him you progress Eileen's questline.
>>750098628I can't confirm because I just didn't really dabble into chalice farm stuff, especially because I played without ps+. But I don't doubt it. It's probably right.
>>750098368gotcha, i thought you meant for a single pve run
>>750098628nigga stop using dextralifeBB already has a borderline perfect wiki without that garbage retroactively shitting up search resultshttps://www.bloodborne-wiki.com/2015/03/blood-rock.htmlyes blood rocks are in D5 chalicesyou can also just buy em for an ungodly amount of insight
>>750098176Fluorescent Flowers are found in the chalice dungeons. Also shoot the flower, it triggers the black hole to instantly consume them and you don't have to actually fight them.
>>750098594i got mine from a reddit discord, seemed more trustworthy than torrents that have duplicates for some reason and "download ps4 gaems free" sites with rapidshare tier download speedsgo to their bloodborne pc sub and go to the sticky, you dont need to talk or do anything there just use a burner email to make one if you don't use pisscord, game files download is in one of the channels

>>750098878cheers anon
>>750098730Oh yeah right. That's the sort of stuff that made it so I started the post with "if I recall correctly". It's been a while.
>>750098878>>750098594literally just google ithttps://duckduckgo.com/?q=cusa03173
>>750098418I'd like to think it's an "animal" that coexists with the great ones, probably a descent of some insectoid unnamed interdimensional being,like a moth to the flames, wandered into the reflection reality warping Rom was performing at the lake, maybe the scholars kept it there for study
>>750098986oh, i guess i got covered with reddit piss for no reason thenwell whatever, either way works
>>750098901I'm using the church pick see >>750096751Like I said, it probably just got stat checked. My character is insanely powerful for a ng0 playthrough. I assume if you get in there at the powerlevel the game actually expects you to be at that point then it's a much tougher challenge.
>>750098594internet archive has a bunch of them from usa to eurslow DL speed though
Just tried LanternEngine, but for some reason the camera is giving me huge motion sickness which I never had on PS4, possibly because of how fast it moves at 120fps (even if set at 0 speed in the settings). Is there another option I'm missing?
>>750099053turn off motion blurfuck, turn it of for every game ever
>>750098987They're classified as Kin, so they were mortal and ordinary at some point.
>>750099108bold of you to assume it isn't already off
>>750099053if you're on controller and mean the camera is doing weird shit when you try to turn it diagonally, go to the graphics tab in the launcher and set the camera thing near the bottom to "FPS++ retune", then go to the engine tab and check "camera easing for high fps" under experimental
Who is Mensis?Who is Mergo?
>>750098594Fitgirl repack is just the extracted game files and a folder with the bbport launcher. You can just replace the launcher with any other LanternEngine works best.
>>750099187Margo, Mensis got circumcised
>>750099049yea fair church pick is utterly busted and more importantly fastboth runs (beast claw + Arm) i got stuck on Abhorrent now for whatever reasoneven my summon buddies die to a single good hit
>>750098535>the ass was out of this plane good>in fact, Oedon tapped that so hard that made it formlessthe lore runs too fucking deep
>>750099187some loonies that are a split off group from the Healing churchmensis just means moonmergo is the baby
easiest game of my life
>>750099187mensis is the name of the academic school of the church that founded yahargul, they're the scholars who wear cages on their headsmergo was the stillborn great one child of yharnam, which sucked all the mensis scholars into the nightmare when they tried to contact him
>>750099187>Who is Mensis?Mensis is a group within the Healing Church that skews more towards Byrgenwerth's teachings and wish to raise themselves up to become Kin to the Great Ones, by any means necessary. They are rivals to the Choir, another group within the Healing Church. Think of them as secret societies.>Who is Mergo?One of the Great Ones, and the one that the game is centered around. He's the stillborn son of Queen Yharnam and Formless Oedon, and him being born dead caused the Great Ones to curse the Pthumeru civilization, which caused their collapse and descent into the catacombs underground. Queen Yharnam is bound to Mergo, and her blood makes up the Old Blood that the Healing Church uses in blood ministration. Mergo's influence within the Old Blood spreads the beastly scourge that's affecting the city. The School of Mensis made contact with Mergo to ask him to grant them insight, and he was happy to oblige, but being an infant he couldn't control his power, and accidentally overloaded the brains of the Mensis scholars, causing their deaths. Very few survived, including Micolash's mind, stuck in the Nightmare.Banishing Mergo from Yharnam though killing his tether, Mergo's Wet Nurse, is the only way to end the beastly scourge and conclude the Hunt. That's your objective throughout the game.
>>750099515thats not the sawblade
>>750099187Mergo is a great one infant that presumably Oegon (another great one, remember Oegon's tomb where you fight father gascoigne?) impregnated Queen Yharnam with.
how 2 play?what version or whatever should i use?
>>750099180My stomach thanks you, anon
So Queen Yharnam was a cheating slut, got it.
>>750099579i still don't get where people get the Oedon connection fromhis chapel presumably hadn't even existed by the time blood ministration started considering its in New Yharnam and the space between Oedon Chapel and Tomb having been used to call him
Can we still not customize our hunters without the game exploding?
>>750099694https://github.com/Awakenchan/LanternEnginegrab this, shove your unpkg'd bloodborne files into it and enjoy
>>750088997idk wtf lantern engine is but it looks like shit on PC. the graphics are truly dated. 6900xt and 7900xt
>>750099579Not necessarily trying to contest because I don't claim to be an expect, I'd just like to have a conversation.I always figured the original blood the church used was from Ebriatas. What the scholars found in the depths was Ebriatas. So for the subject of Bygenwerth and subsequently Healing Church, it all stems from Ebriatas. Ebriatas being there in the labyrinth and having been found by the scholars is basically what set the entire thing in motion. Ebriatas again, because apparently this post needs to have this name being mentioned 100 times. Anywyay, you're implying they were using Yharnam's blood? So which is it?
>>750099694Lantern Engine + superpsx to download PKG filesbase game, update and DLCand learn to unpack PKG filesconfigure resolution and patches and free online account on the launcherit's a bitch to do but it works really good
why's Formless Oedon Formless?
>>750099975It’s very similar to DS3 where everyone has elongated faces with wrinkly waxed skin. And no mouth movement.
>>750099187Who is Mario?
>>750100063you can grab all the game files you need already unpackaged from the link in the r*ddit d*scord, no need to mess around with unpacking
does lantern fix the occasional crackling sounds like when you warp or enter a new zone?
>>750100118Not to meme but literally because he doesn't have a form. Great ones are not really a unified species that follow any set of rules. Or if they do, it's not one we can understand.
>>750090839Zoom zoom
>>750100026not that guy but Ebrietas was the last chalice found, specifically be the choir which was founded way after the Healing ChurchEbrietas was when the beast epidemic was already on and they switched from blood to communion to the old ones
>>750093112You didn’t find that place yourself. You’re using a guide don’t you
>>750100138I know this well sound odd, but I'm truly VPNs just wait for the PC release, or at the very least, for emulation to clean up the graphics and stuttering
>>750100270I know of this text but I always interpreted it as they brought the chalice up and with it they managed to actually commune with Ebriatas in some way because for whatever reason she had an interest in it as an offering. But she was already there under the Cathedral. She just didn't respond to anyone.
>>750100326Dude the invitation straight up tells you where to goand its not that hard to find either
>>750089680they fired everyone that worked on that and the entire issued is most likely backdoor politics because of that>jap devs dont want dei back then when it started being pushed>close studio>fire japanese devs and team>reopen studio>now with DEI and new slop devsfrom what we knwo its what happened
What's the best way to play this, Fatboy repack?
>>750100428Maybe he meant before that. Finding the invitation itself. Which granted, getting inside Iosefka's clinic can be missed.
>>750099264>>750100213Mergo, why does mario get hit by the spinning wheel
>>750099765>A great relic, also known as the Cord of the Eye. Every infant Great One has this precursor to the umbilical cord.>Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate, and Oedon, the formless Great One, is no different. To think, it was corrupted blood that began this eldritch liaison.Taking it at straight value it describes Arianna's child, but the "eldritch liaison" could also mean just spreading Old Blood through blood ministration, which implies that Mergo was the child that Oedon lost, and then sought a surrogate for. The Yharnam Stone is most likely Mergo's crystallized body, his mind having ascended to different planes of existence.>>750100026Like that other anon said, Ebrietas was found in the Great Isz area of the labyrinth, and by that point the Healing Church was already established and Old Blood was spread around Yharnam. Contact with Ebrietas lead to the founding of the Choir. Ebrietas is also Kin, so she was a mortal raised up to become a freaky squid creature, she wasn't one from the start.>Anywyay, you're implying they were using Yharnam's blood?I'm not implying it, I'm outright saying it. Queen Yharnam is the ultimate target of the chalice descent, and her blood, corrupted by the influence of the Great Ones, is what the game calls Old Blood. Laurence discovered Old Blood and sought to use it for medicinal purposes, and left Byrgenwerth to found the Healing Church. He became the first Cleric Beast from use of Old Blood, and while his mind was drawn into the Nightmare, his mindless beast body descended back underground as the Bloodletting Beast.
>>750100502yea sure in the same way hemwick can be missedbut nobody is expecting people to run around without runes unless they used a guide
>>750100501fattroon repack if you're a lazy retard, you can always just take the game files from it and throw it into lantern engine later if it bugs out on you (it will)otherwise just get the files from archive or reddit yourself and set up lantern, takes like 5 minutes not including download time
what is the deal with the Cainhurst nobles?why there is a beef with the church, what's their role in the story?
YOU THERE, HUNTER
>>750098386bbport is much better than shadps4 on my end, got like 20 hours on a rx6600 with just one crash
>>750100673WAIT... IS THAT A FLOATING STATUE?
>>750100598>yea sure in the same way hemwick can be missedNot really at all. Hemwick is naturally there in a path for you. Getting behind Iosefka's clinic needs you to find a cave that is a bit out of the way. Not the same thing.
>>750100673>>750100731I remember thinking it was the statue talking to me the first time I played. I didn't notice the dude on the tower until he started shooting.
>>750097132good thing shadnet lets us access online functions
How's the mod that lets you start the game with any weapon? They reduce the stat requirements to make all of them usable, yeah?
>>750098070You need to go way deeper to get the good gems
>>750100859There's a few mods that do that. The standalone one that just does that and nothing else literally says in the description it removes requirements so you can actually start with the weapon and use it. I tested it and it works fine.
>>750100879How deeper? That's a code chalice at depth 5 FRC. Does it go deeper than that?
>>750100594I still feel like thats a big stretch. Corrupted blood just means that shes from Cainhurst.But i guess it would make sense if Arianna had very similar blood to Queen Yharnam which is why Oedon chose her in the first place and not Adella for example.
>>750100645From what I recall, one of the scholars was from Cainhurst took forbidden blood back to his castle. They all got infected and became essentially vampires because for some reason that particular branch of the blood resulted in that. The church then started sending people to exterminate them.
>>750099127Probably ptumerians though not actual humans.
>>750100645>>750101162yea they literally drank so much of Yharnams blood that they got cursed foreverthe queen became immortal like Yharnam herselfthen they started hunting hunters to get more bloodthen the church sent the executioners after em and Logarius became a simpin reality they were made really early in development and not cut despite not really fitting in the world because miyazaki liked em or whatever
>>750101397They fit well enough to me. You can say "oh it was an excuse to have a vampire castle because it fits the theme" sure but it was well put in the context.

>>750088997tried downloading the repack, got something about a "Yoma!rfn" trojan virus. guess I'll just have to wait a few months until they patch it out...
>>750102497>repackdon't do that, just get the game files and use lantern engine
>>750102638is that any safer?
>>750102664the game files from the bloodborne pc reddit posted earlier in this thread are clean, they're what i've been using to playfitgirl repacks are known for being ridden with malware (maybe or maybe not due to fake sites, i wouldn't know because i dont use repacks)
So is better performance than ShadPS4?
>>750099694if you don't want to do the extra work with the pkg files just download fitgirl repack for the base game and use any launcher you'd like. it'll save you an hour or two.
>>750102935leagues better, lantern engine is essentially what would it would look like if an official pc port was done nigh on perfectly>>750103017or just make a burner discord and get the clean unpackaged files from here if you don't trust the repack: https://www.reddit.com/r/BloodbornePC/comments/1uymztw/new_discord_invite_link/

>Ring the bell at the most populated areas>Wait and wait>Not getting summoned What the fuck, where is everybody? Why is nobody doing coop or pvp?
Something tells me its not supposed to look like this.
>>750103327I don't know about other people but I like the online just to see people's ghosts and spectres and to input chalice dungeon codes. I don't really want to summon help for bosses and the idea of playing pvp in a game with no netcode against some russian dude teleporting behind me seems very unnatractive.
YDBTGYWNBAWYou lose DS2roonies
>>750103327I've gotten consistent summons at rom and even a couple at One RebornAnd chalices you usually get two before you find the leverMore people are looking to be summoned than are summoning
>>750103327i accidentally managed to summon someone for cleric beast when i started playing yesterday (first time playing, didnt realize what the bell did lmao)hopefully it wont take too long for hunters dream to get their site sorted out so we can see which areas are active at any given time, like the embers on the bonfire menu in ds3
Never got to play the DLC since I didn't own it on PS4. Glad I'm able to experience it.
>>750104331The DLC is great. Some torture areas though but I guess that goes without saying since it's fromsoft content.

Any good mods to add when playing on the lantern engine?
Ay yo my nun is broke. She just keeps doing weird noises ever since she got in the chapel and has no dialogue.
