Well, I'd recommend just circling around him and watching his arms. He gives something like a 1.5 second telegraph before hitting behind him. Also, do as the other anon says and pop the cyst for big damage and stagger.

You're playing it like Dark Souls. You need to be able to dodge and attack in the same skirmish. Get in for damage on the recovery, attack, dodge, attack, get out.
This is also how Sekiro works, although with more of a focus on deflecting instead of dodging.
You need to get in there.

I've been using the threaded cane so far, probably going to switch to Kirkhammer

Im' surprised nobody's made the joke yet.

>>750152995
Untricked movesets are shared between saw cleaver and saw spear, and between kirkhammer and ludwig's. That's 2 examples compared to the countless in Elden Ring, which has no backstep R2's, no transform attacks, and far less moveset changes from two-handing weapons than any previous souls game, but here's your (you) I guess.

>>750148751
I usually start with the axe and move onto kirkhammer, and eventually the boom hammer just because i think it's sick asf.

>>750154005
All weapons in this game are fun as fuck, it's about personal preference and how cool you find them. I do think the amygdalan arm is a bit underrated though.

>>750151795
i just think it's boring. there's a lot of fun weapons in this game, and yet some people just choose to use a dark souls weapon again.

The real speed kill strat for undead giant is breaking both legs, which allows for a visceral attack. You need a fairly quick weapon that hits close to the ground, like saw cleaver/spear.

its genuinely the most busted weapon in the game

Blood vials are a shit mechanic designed to make the game 3-6 hours longer because you have to stop and farm them over and over

You will never convince me otherwise

>>750155135
The problem with Bloodborne is that a lot of cool weapons are found relatively late, so NG+ is actually worth it. And the Chalice Dungeons scale well with new game cycles.
Also, one thing that annoys me about the low amount of weapons is how many early playthroughs will feel exactly the same. I shudder thinking about yet another skill-focused character, because I know that character will use the cane and sawspear for a good while.

You're right, but others will say it's because you're bad and you should be punished by having your time wasted and to go farm more vials.
The easiest solution is just using someone's chalice dungeon to get a bunch of echoes super easily off some trash enemy and then using those echoes to buy all the vials and bullets you need. When you play online, the blood vial thing can be easily sidestepped.

run through central yharnam once early, front to back and then spend it all on vials. afterwards, you should be able to keep stocked just from looting them and spending any extra souls on them after you level up

How does the arcane scaling work on ludwig? Or I guess any weapon that has an arcane rating?

>>750155016
Im dedicated to the krikhammer but man with the speed of enemies in this game i can only imagine how much easier it is with those weapons

>>750155392
Just spend your echoes on healing and it doesnt matter.

>>750156371
it does nothing if its not converted to fire/bolt/arcane or has it innate

For me it's a humble saw cleaver. Scythe is good too but it's ng+ only

>>750153540

Mods sort of fix that but it's a mixed bag because finding weapons and working towards unlocking them also gives a nice feeling of progression.

>>750156674
in "real" play i think the intention is you're more using transitory L2 mode change attacks to press an advantage than you're actually supposed to be moving to your huge slow mode

One of Bloodborne's strong points is because everything is clothing and cohesive in the aesthetic, it's REALLY easy to mix and match different sets into interesting and unique outfits.

I'm personally a fan of the Old Hunter Cap with the Charred Hunter Garb. I also really like Gehrman's and Gascoigne's pants for being simple, versatile, and looking nice with how lanky and long the legs are in Bloodborne.

It's not a good mechanic, but if you actually have to stop to farm them you have to accept that you are fucking terrible at the game.
