    Beat the Dark Souls board game today, three of us playing. Winged Knight then Dancer of the Boreal Valley. Took about four and a half hours using double souls per encounter. We only died once, in the second room.

    That game's got some problems but I still like it.

    I have the Bloodborne board game. I hope to have a chance to play it someday.

    It is a very fun game. It's pretty easy to set up and teach, too!

    Speedrunners use this trick where you aim firebombs from the start and stand on top of where you need to fall before the floor actually breaks. For your situation, I'd recommend paying attention to the exact tile you're on when you jump to increase your odds. It's a shitty fight. Easily the worst part of the game.

    I ain’t playing souls, but I just started playing Bloodborne for the first time and this game is quite excellent.

    I’ve hardly scratched the surface and all that, but is the dlc worth snagging?

    It is generally considered excellent and has a ton of cool weapons, but it is very much end of near end game content.

    pick up the DLC if you still hunger for more content at the end of the game, it's very good but you might have gotten tired of it before then

    although if you actually do the last boss it boots you to NG+ and you'll have to go through the whole game again to get strong enough for the NG+ DLC

    Don't just pick up the DLC if you want more content. Pick up the DLC if you specifically want more difficult content.

    I will go back to the awful bed of chaos fight later.

    I just absolved my sin against the forest hunters, summoned some help, and slew Sif.

    I went through the undead burg, killed that black knight and got the black knight sword!

    Is the greatsword of Artorias good for a quality type build?

    Should I change my zwei to a lightning zweihander?

    only if you don't plan to raise your str and dex beyond the minimum necessary to hold it, since the fire and lightning infusions remove all stat scaling
    although you actually only surpass the numbers from max upgraded fire/lightning infusion on a max upgraded normal weapon with like 40 strength and dex or something like that so if you're not already heavily invested in str/dex it's probably fine have some wasted points there

    Also there are two versions of that weapon with the exact same name, cursed and uncursed, because of course From would do that. Which version are you using?

    No, Greatsword of Artorias isn't a Str/Dex weapon, it's a Str/Dex/Int/Fth weapon. You need 18 to 20 in all four stats just to wield it without bouncing.

    I didn't forge it, I was just wondering what to do with the soul of Sif :(

    It makes the best greatshield in the game if you want to be a tank.

    That's debatable I think, DLC is certainly end game content but it's very good shit that shouldn't be missed

    greatsword of artorias is kind of a NG++++++ weapon, it's the best weapon in the game when you have strength, dexterity, intellect and faith all at 99 :P

    The thing with you losing estus chugs when you co-op is bullshit

    I like to use co-op to explore

    So I warped from somewhere to firelink, got 15 doses

    Warped the catacombs, eventually made it the first bonfire in the tomb of giants

    Got very lost, found Rhea and her escorts

    Got kicked off a cliff by a giant skeleton

    So I put down my sign and did some co-op

    And found myself with 5 doses of estus

    It's been a thing the whole time I have played, but it really pissed me off yesterday

    Ah geez I thought you needed to get to rank 2 Warrior of Sunlight for a miracle. I spent quite some time helping people with Artorias/Kalameet.

    Oh well, no time spent doing coop is wasted. Plus i'm actually pretty good at Kalameet now, my memory of it was a lot worse than the reality.

    More Bloodborne:

    So yeah, I’ve played a lot of video games, but I’m pretty sure this is the first time a dude has whooped my ass with a dead body in a bag.

    Thankfully the 3 ninjas boss only took me a couple tries. Shouldn’t have to run through there again!

    Next area hasn’t been much better. The bug dudes scared the shit out of me at my first encounter. This game is fantastic

    Double posting all up in here, but all my friends are like yo, Bloodborne was so 3 years ago.

    Anyway, every last fucking bit of Cainhurst castle so far has been nightmare fuel. Blood licking spider ladies? Gargoyles with old dude heads?! Fuckin’ ghosts?! Jeeeeesus. My solace has been that ludwigs holy blade is a god damn monster

    In random souls occurrences I saw one of prulds old videos parodying what if souls was a romance anime. I’m kinda confused as to why I would totally watch it. Still I’m sure I’ve watched sillier anime.

    Have we seen Sekiro dude using weapons other than the sword? Cause man even if you stuck to realistic and Japanese there is like a bigass panoply of things to hit people with, polearms and firearms and bows and flail-esque stuff, a whole bunch of less-lethal mancatcher type things the law would use

    Fuckin bigass Oni stick
