Definitely. If not for all the new weapons there are also about 32 chunks and a rock. If you spend as much time playing the game as I do it is more than worth it
why does arcan look so easy? i should try it out lol, im running skill/bloodtinge build, doin somehwat the some dmg (a bit more not much) but i have to get close and u just shooting from the distance !
At 70 Arcane and above the hunter tools do great damage. Check out some of my other vids for examples on damage output. Plus all my weapons on this build scale with S in arcane at 70 so the melee damage is also pretty decent. The Ludwigs AR is 777! The only disadvantage is riposte damage, but wearing the Oedon Writhe rune gives me 3 bullets instead.
+Herosin Kero You can farm the blue aliens in the Forbidden woods for 8% Arcane gems and they'll drop all shapes eventually. There is a 9% Nourishing in the poison cave and a 15% nourishing in Mensis and then bolt and fire waning gems in Frontier, but other than that you will have to do the chalice dungeons if you want better arcane gems
+aldrin arroyo These are the bosses from the DLC. If you have access to The Old Hunters you will find the Blood-addled Eye in the dream after killing Vicar Amelia. Pick it upend return to Cathedral Ward. Exit to the left and stand over the body behind the gravestones on the right where you picked up the hunter set and the top hat. The Amygdala above you will then teleport you to the start of a new area called the Hunters Nightmare
Seeing your mustache reminds me of colonel Armstrong. O.o Now that I think about it, I believe people can do a cosplay of him using only his fists with the Kos Parasite xD.
+The Halicarnassis I've heard that with insane amounts of arcane and Kos Parasyte, you can do an *actual* Micolash cosplay. :p Just don't forget to add the silver bullet +5 rune so you can get more spammy with that Augur of Ebrietas. :p
The Halicarnassis Hell yes xD, I sort of wish I remembered this before I decided to cosplay Dr. Stein x.x Ah well he still uses his bare hands so it works either way haha.
XxExtremeSamX yeah first play through and blind so didn’t have a clue about boss strats. Thanks for noticing XD Needless to say it was a steep learning curve. I’ve since done all these bosses at BL43 for my arcane twink.
Damn, BL43? Honestly, I'm still getting better at Bloodborne, but nowhere near good enough to do BL43 or anything like that. Have you done all bosses NG+7?
XxExtremeSamX at BL43 you can invade BL30 which is the lowest level Bell Maidens spawn when you co-op I’m on NG+4 with a BL200 and that’s the highest level I’ve gone to. I might do more dungeons before I go into +5 but I have 2 PSN IDs and they’re all full with various builds - mainly arcane but I got a 43 beast claws build, a 57 bloodtinge and a 70 Moonlight Greatsword build I’m farming gems for in the dungeons. Will get round to +7 eventually - before DS remastered 🤓
what's up with Ludwig's 2nd phase music, like the opening repeated during the fight as well as the cutscene and the actual 2nd phase theme started playing right before you killed him, probably a glitch
The saw cleaver. Although at +10 it is only C scaling, but make it Fire and you'll cut your way through any beast really quickly! Especially with beast pellets and using transform attacks... The Axe second cos it has such good range and combos and it's B scaling. Then I would say the Hammer you get after the cleric beast. That's B at +10. And the sword version does holy damage. Late weapons.. pizza cutter is simply too good to ignore, MoonlightGS, Amy Arm.
+The Halicarnassis thanks dude saw cleaver kirkhammer moonlight great sword in that order when I get them then maybe the pizza cutter thanks for the help:)
pure arcane is fun as hell but the arcane build is not broken like sorcery in dark souls so, you have to pick your moment before you cast it. I highly recommend it, requires just a bit of getting used to.
How viable is a strength/arcane build compared to whatever it is you`re running? I`m currently on the kirkhammer and it`s going decently, but the weapon`s slow attackspeed is kind of difficult for some enemies.. I`ve also tried running some blades of mercy stuff but they really dont work for me sadly. Also kind of lost as to what to skill earlier in the game as i don`t have much that scales with arcane as of yet..
+Stoner Kebab once you add elemental gems to a weapon it then scales with arcane. Only weapons that don't already have split damage. The Kirkhammer is a great example as you only need 16 strength to wield it but can change its scaling to arcane foregoing the need for more strength...and its attack speed increases in 2-handed mode when you sidestep first and then attack. The DLC gave us a few extra weapons which are hybrids and scale with both strength and arcane as they already have arcane damage. Check my other vid - How to Arcane Part 4 - for more detailed numbers
+Stoner Kebab If you are going str/arc then you need to try the Logarius Wheel and the Tonitrus. The transformations from both Logarius Wheel and Tonitrus benefit from Arcane. The Log wheel has a S scaling in Str at +10, it is one of two weapons to only receive that scaling.
+GoGoZebras I could be wrong but the Tonitrus only really benefits from it once when you buff it, it might deal some side damage of bolt without being buffed but i'm not sure. I've personally only used the Tonitrus on 2 occasions, and they both were against the kin type enemies with the shiny blue blob heads, and the Celestial Emissary boss, which i totally cheesed with the Tonitrus. But everytime the buff wore off my damage was completely laughable.
The +10 Tonitrus has a B scaling in Strength, so yea it's not the greatest but it's pretty good. Also the Buff scales off of Arcane and Bolt Damage. The Arcane Scaling while buffed is really really high. My lvl 111 char which has 50 Vit/50 Str/16 Arc has a Tonitrus+10 with all Rank 19-20 Nourishing Gems. While buffed my AR on the Tonitrus is around 963. I can get it higher once I raise my arcane. You'll want a second weapon though since Tonitrus has the lowest durability out of all the weapons. It's still a damn good weapon though and I encourage you to try it out on your str/arc char :). PS I can also help you farm Nourishing gems as I want another set for Boom Hammer/Holy Moonlight Sword
+Kameron Jerzyszek You only need to play bloodborne and start as an Arcane build to know that is not true. "Magic" is vastly underpowered compared a skill or bloodtinge build and the most difficult to start as.
guys is it possible to have an op pve professional build without needing the dlc? cuz im new to the game and im trying to make sure i have everything ready for NG+ what should i do?
Are you capping your build at all? I would go 50 Skill for max base damage and then do the dungeons - pick up the claws ruin and the best health and stamina and farm some gems. I have a speed running guide with glyph codes for all of them - should take you 4 hours
thanks because i was getting tired of my damage not going any higher and i was getting irritated that my endurance was so weak i got two or three or even four shotted by regular bosses
+Marcus Eagland a pure 120 Skill build should aim for 50 Vit, 50 Skill, 20 Endurance. Actually you want 50 Vit no matter what. +10 skill scaling weapons - saw spear is good, cane too. Or blades of mercy and scythe (these last 2 you'll want to farm nourishing gems though)
I noticed the hair from the Cainhurst helm is clipping out of the bottom of your tomb prospector garb, even though the helm is no longer equipped. this is the second time I've seen this on another players account and this also happened to me. the prospector garb and the Cainhurst silver helmet look good together but once you pair them, that silver hair will be stuck on your collar forever. I wonder if they'll ever notice and patch this bug. maybe I'm one of few whose noticed cause I like mixing and matching the attire sets.
Also good. It's more a weapon for a quality build as it scales with STR and SKL and also ARC. very versatile blade. You'll need lots of stamina if you want to use it to its fullest potential.
+Supa creator It's NG. This is my strength-arcane 120 build which I PVP with. Done too many chalice dungeons and farmed rocks and abyssal gems countless times. I didn't bother taking this build through to NG+ because I knew DLC was bound to be coming out and I already platinum the game with another character.
+xiAsoomY PX that depends on your stats. Personally, I wouldn't use Kos Parasite and HMS together on such a low-level build, unless you are planning on levelling up Strength and Skill as well as Arcane... Kos is awesome on a Pure Arcane build. Only with 2-hands does Arcane give good returns on the HMS - and the ranged attacks in particular are very good, but one-handed you need the other stats to give you good damage output. I have another 120 build with 99 Arcane, the Kos Parasite and the Cane (one bolt and one fire) and find it does very well with minimal stat investment in strength and skill as the cane scales off of Arcane. Plus the tools for ranged damage and the cane or Parasite for melee. Only 30 Vitality but she still kicks arse! This 120 build has the minimum requirements for the HMS and Ludwigs, but my Fire Ludwigs has an extra 150 AR compared to this HMS (with the similar gems) as it scales off of Arcane and not the other stats. But then the HMS has got the best moveset by far! Check out my other video on How To Arcane which details HMS and the gems you needs etc
+xiAsoomY PX check out part 4 on hybrid builds. If you're gonna use tools a lot then consider 80+ arcane, and the rest into strength and skill - after 50 vitality of course. You may want 20 endurance too
Sharefactory yes. You can also screenshot any clips for thumbnails and use the editor to add text which exports the vid and the thumbnail together, but I tend to use ArtStudio to make most of my thumbnails and the upload them to TH-cam seperately.
Definetly not an amateur at arcane but still not a master you have good preperations overall. But you could use some more strategy. Ex: use tiny tonitrus vs living failures and try to line up 2 or 3 of them for dome good dmg. Your choice of weapons is perfect well done there. And i understand you not using a bolt weapon but you could try 2 cold gems and 1 bolt gem just need to defeat the pthumeru descdent in central pthumeru for cold and you can find a bolt in the main game if you dont want to farm in ailing loran chalice. Other than that you play great i loved the vid.
this was my first ever playthrough of the DLC. I did not collect the Moonlight Greatsword for quite some time cos i didn't speak to Ludwig after the fight.
Arcane scales all the way to 99 and I have 70. Plus I've spent loads of time farming high end gems in chalice dungeons. I'm working on a new vid for Arcane builds and it should be up in about a week or two
+The Halicarnassis Yeah but I'm just saying it would probably be more effective to use a pure skill with fire paper than a pure arcane with fire gems. With arcane projectiles and such there is no "It would be more effective if"
+Laughing Banana23 Best with pure arcane for sure, especially if you're going to cap your build. I have a 120 with 99 arcane and kos parasite cauliflower all other stats base and she can easily one shot people with arcane blast, call beyond and even the gloves on a riposte (augur of ebrietas into gloves combo...triple damage)
I liked the orphan of Kos boss fight and lady Maria's boss fight are my two favorites but do you think after defeating the orphan kos you would have got some weird type of Scythe weapon not that kos parasite is it an awesome weapon It's just that you know the final boss in the DLC has like a weird Saif sword weapon thought you would get something similar
Ludwig is just properly tough! It took me a solid 4 hours with my level 43 Arcane Twink solo, then I had to use a summon for Orphan of Kos. Best DLC ever though. :P
What level you capping your build at? VIT wont affect damage output and you'll need specific gems to eek out the best AR for those weapons. If you are going Arcane then LHB needs to have 2x Cold Abyssal Gems and 1x elemental (make it scale off arcane stat with S and then pump arcane as high as you can while keep STR at 16), while the HMS should have Nourishings as this will add dmg to both forms of the weapon. I prefer Nourishings + arcane if you can farm them. BUT the HMS scales of STR and ARC equally so best to invest in both stats equally. If you are not using arcane build then STR & SKL equally for LHB and some ARC for the HMS.
+Logan Smith Hahaha! Ah mate, your comment! I pissed myself laughing. Thanks for that. Glad you finally found what you were looking for and I hope my other vids are just as good for you XD
I know right! This was my first playthrough so i really knew nothing about the fight, which is why I redid my playthrough to only level up Arcane till 99 then vit after!
+Johan Gildenhuys NP :) my stats are listed at 0:08 - 0:11 and it includes the AR of my main weapons. The gems I use are in my most recently uploaded video called "How to Arcane Part 1"
+Johan Gildenhuys my pure arcane build only has 30 VIT but 99 ARCANE and i was one-shotting co-op players this weekend in the DLC. I'll do a montage soon enough. Glass cannon, but by Odin is that build fun. XD
+Sean Legghette how come when im at ng+ Level 128 i can't even 1 hit the first enemies and i can't even deal damage to any of the when i eventually summon a guy, the guy kills that thing that will take me 10 hits to kill, only 2 hits. Please respond, it feels more like Ng4 for me than ng+ ☹️
Because Arcane scales all the way to 99. The returns diminish from around 80 on various tools, but I wanted 50 vitality on a 120 build instead of 40 vitality
The Halicarnassis lol xD How much in terms of actual numbers of dmg or in how many bullets did you kill the beefier enemies? Sorry for being insistant, i'm just really curious. :p
Off the top of my head... the Living Failures went down quickest with 6 or 7 Call Beyond, I think Maria took all 20 bullets plus 5 times making blood bullets and I used the gloves and BS eye. Kos I used mainly Augur for Visceral Attacks. Laurence was one of the easiest to get to final stage and was over with 10 potions to spare. I can't much remember the battle with Ludwig :(
There is only one easier way to defeat Laurence/Lolwig.
The Oreo on a stick, the one and only *insert funny word* Saw.

Ahh pizza cutter or some say Oreo do you hear our prayers

+The Halicarnassis Yeah but I'm just saying it would probably be more effective to use a pure skill with fire paper than a pure arcane with fire gems. With arcane projectiles and such there is no "It would be more effective if"
+David Bowie-Sama-Senpai-Sensei-San-Sama...-kun aaahhhh gotcha :)
cocktail scales off of arcane just like the rest of the elemental based tools .
r u wearing tomb prospector armour
Yup! Great all round armour set imo
+The Halicarnassis does the kos parasite work ok with a str/arc build
+The Halicarnassis i thpugh it would work best with a pure arcane build
+Laughing Banana23 Best with pure arcane for sure, especially if you're going to cap your build. I have a 120 with 99 arcane and kos parasite cauliflower all other stats base and she can easily one shot people with arcane blast, call beyond and even the gloves on a riposte (augur of ebrietas into gloves combo...triple damage)
I liked the orphan of Kos boss fight and lady Maria's boss fight are my two favorites but do you think after defeating the orphan kos you would have got some weird type of Scythe weapon not that kos parasite is it an awesome weapon It's just that you know the final boss in the DLC has like a weird Saif sword weapon thought you would get something similar
That's Gherman the burial blade is that the weapon you talking abt?
The orphan of Kos is my favorite boss
NO
It took me like 30 tries to beat Ludwig at bloodlevel 59
Ludwig is just properly tough! It took me a solid 4 hours with my level 43 Arcane Twink solo, then I had to use a summon for Orphan of Kos. Best DLC ever though. :P
Nice, that sounds way harder than what I did
Stats ? Weapons ?
stats are right at the beginning and you can see the AR of 2 of the weapons I use - whip & ludwigs
The Halicarnassis Do you think 45 vit & 21 Str will result in more dmg when using LHB or LHMS.
What level you capping your build at? VIT wont affect damage output and you'll need specific gems to eek out the best AR for those weapons.
If you are going Arcane then LHB needs to have 2x Cold Abyssal Gems and 1x elemental (make it scale off arcane stat with S and then pump arcane as high as you can while keep STR at 16), while the HMS should have Nourishings as this will add dmg to both forms of the weapon. I prefer Nourishings + arcane if you can farm them. BUT the HMS scales of STR and ARC equally so best to invest in both stats equally.
If you are not using arcane build then STR & SKL equally for LHB and some ARC for the HMS.
The Halicarnassis Going for 120, with 70 arcane, so that I'm arcane mainly, but I would like to use weapons too. Or that's the idea at least.
go Cruel Fate start, 50 VIT and 70 ARC, whatever STR required for swords. Farm some awesome gems and you're sorted!
is that on NG+?
+Luis Perez normal game.
I saw the stats and instantly questioned them. Still a good vid tho.
Learn to use the extecutioners gloves ma man
What NG?
+EeveeHartMew (Mary Watts) First game cycle BL120.
thank god, I have searched far and wide for a cheese free playthrough of the dlc that doesn't have some overlevelled shit playing it...
+Logan Smith Hahaha! Ah mate, your comment! I pissed myself laughing. Thanks for that. Glad you finally found what you were looking for and I hope my other vids are just as good for you XD
way too focused on healing during the orphan fight. Arcane builds are usually way more ranged than that, much more patient. he kicked your ass.
I know right! This was my first playthrough so i really knew nothing about the fight, which is why I redid my playthrough to only level up Arcane till 99 then vit after!
@@TheHalicarnassis Crazy
You’re really bad at dodging arent you? 😂
Goddamnit, you noticed! 🤣
😂 still a great vid man
Pirate thanks. It was my first play through and streamed it on twitch. Surprisingly it’s so bad I’ve had loads of views. Pity I hadn’t used a camera 😂
The Halicarnassis try dodging into ludwig at his first phase makes him a joke
show us your stats and gems when you make build videos please sir!
+Johan Gildenhuys NP :) my stats are listed at 0:08 - 0:11 and it includes the AR of my main weapons. The gems I use are in my most recently uploaded video called "How to Arcane Part 1"
The Halicarnassis thanks bud,you make me want to go pure arcane!
+Johan Gildenhuys my pure arcane build only has 30 VIT but 99 ARCANE and i was one-shotting co-op players this weekend in the DLC. I'll do a montage soon enough. Glass cannon, but by Odin is that build fun. XD
The Halicarnassis i subbed to you i want to learn more about arcane building;)
Ah mate! you are totes the best :)
70 arcane - for when you can't handle the magnificence of Straid's spells
Git Gud
You are really bad at the game man. It was hard to watch lol. But thanks for showing off an arcane build
ouch! XD
this is a normal game not new game plus that's why it's super easy
+Sean Legghette how come when im at ng+ Level 128 i can't even 1 hit the first enemies and i can't even deal damage to any of the when i eventually summon a guy, the guy kills that thing that will take me 10 hits to kill, only 2 hits. Please respond, it feels more like Ng4 for me than ng+ ☹️
o thanks
Why 70? Whyyyy?))))
Because Arcane scales all the way to 99. The returns diminish from around 80 on various tools, but I wanted 50 vitality on a 120 build instead of 40 vitality
+The Halicarnassis I'd like to see just how much damage you can deal with the Rosmarinus. :p
Tons! I took my BL120 with 99 Arcane through the DLC and she properly rekt everything! The teapot is probably my favourite spray.
The Halicarnassis lol xD
How much in terms of actual numbers of dmg or in how many bullets did you kill the beefier enemies?
Sorry for being insistant, i'm just really curious. :p
Off the top of my head... the Living Failures went down quickest with 6 or 7 Call Beyond, I think Maria took all 20 bullets plus 5 times making blood bullets and I used the gloves and BS eye. Kos I used mainly Augur for Visceral Attacks. Laurence was one of the easiest to get to final stage and was over with 10 potions to spare. I can't much remember the battle with Ludwig :(
For me ludwig was the hardest boss
boom hammer
Tbh Arcane is good in pvp not pve
+Khalid Albalushi True, but if you tailor your weapon to the boss you are fighting it will make it easier.
Nice
i see:) nice vid an thanks:)
Arcane is too OP, ruins the game for me!
So ludwig the acurssed is a knight or rider that got meshed genetically with his horse. . . . . . . ......interesting!
Unatchable/10. Please, stop getting hit every single time.
Looks boring
dark souls sorcery=easy mode
bloodborne arcane=easy mode
From Software is telling us that you either have magic or hundreds of deaths
Templar Kingpin you clearly haven't played bb if u honestly think that. Good skill or strength build would outdmg this video easily.
dark god here and this was an amazing video hali
+Brian Tran Hey Dark God! Thanks for that and I am glad you enjoyed the vid XD
