Chalice dungeons definitely aren't great, but some of the unique rooms and bosses are kind of neat. The later ones are also a decent source of good blood gems.

Haven't really been able to catch the streams; has Argate bothered with the Chalice Dungeons beyond this? There's one (really two) I definitely want to see him at least attempt. Lower Pthumeru and Defiled

Not on stream, no. I've done one or two off screen and I really was not interested in running through them. Maybe I'll do a bonus video of one of the ones I have access to now, but that's a big maybe.

Chalices are super boring in comparison to the main game, but I like to do them whenever I'm failing at a boss too much, don't want to run through the next area just now, or just if I need a bunch of Echoes right now. If you do them as a side activity while progressing, it's fine; just stop the Chalice progression once they get too crazy and return a little stronger. On my first character, I ignored them until way late and sleepwalked through the first ones, that was a giant unfun slog. For a stream unless you're super into summoning people to play with you in them, they're not ideal, though. And almost impossible to do well in an LP context. I'd say "definitely bring guests" but you know  . Wondering what ChaosArgate has planned, though...

as someone without a PS4, where do most of your health items come from? I watched a stream the other day where the player was frustrated for having to grind for health items - though he was also pretty bad at the game, causing more health item useage.

You can buy blood vials from the Hunter's Dream for 500-1000 souls a pop (depending on how far you are in the game, they get more expensive as you go on) or from enemy drops. Theoretically the rally system is intended to make sure you don't need to run through them like candy (see Lifegems in Dark Souls 2), but past a certain point you're just gonna have to burn them to top off, and there's a pretty good chunk of the game where enemies just don't drop them and you have to coast on your reserves.

  I've been sitting on this footage for a few weeks now, so here's a bonus episode. About two weeks ago, I made another character so I could try out a Str/Arc build and also try to catch some stuff I might've missed.

Brainsuckers are the loving worst enemy in this game, I hate them so much. Just annoying as hell to fight.

Any kind of Fire/Bolt/Arcane damage tears through them almost instantly. They're only a problem if you can only do pure phys damage. Also, I very much hope the next episode goes where the cutoff on this one implies.

Thrust damage is the only physical damage that does significant damage to them.

Argate doesn't like serial posting in his own threads. Weird, right?! Anyway I guess we're streaming soon!  Clicky this to hang out in stream chat and watch!

Interestingly Father Gascoigne is suggested to not currently be a part of the Healing Church, and his title is not one recognized by the Healing Church. What actually signifies that his set, or any set for that matter, is Healing Church Garb is the white shawl they all include.

The Bagman powerup makes them deal even MORE damage (think being crushed between two trucks instead of being hit by just one), and they noticeably get more aggressive with their attacks. They might also lose their superstrange and seemingly useless energy sphere and drag-in moves, so they only have jumps, punches and sick kicks to truckcrush you with.

No stream tonight, most of the usual folks aren't around tonight, so we'll try for tomorrow instead if I have time and enough people are around.

For reference, this is the store link I'd posted in chat near the beginning of the video. The original intent is to refer to the potential use of hog rectum as bootleg calamari, but I thought that it equally applied to Bloodborne given the visceral animation on pigs and the game's Lovecraftian influences.

I cringed so hard when I saw you had 4 Vials left, then spent all your Echoes on two levels, leaving you with exactly nothing...I have GLADLY spent an entire boss' worth of Echoes on Vials before, it just saves so much hassle. The Bagmen thing goes like this: they do show up after BSB and only after BSB. Amelia has nothing to do with it afaik. If you do BSB very late, you even cannot ever go to Hypogean Gaol! (saying why would be spoilers for the thread, dunno how long you have played) Now, that does mean that getting shot at by Djura at least once is absolutely mandatory, and no, not killing beasts doesn't affect his hostility at all. Then you kill BSB, go to bagtown, kill Paarl, open the back door and talk to Djura like you did; he's all like "whoa didn't see you come in", apparently having forgotten you. You've seen this. It's even slightly more "obscure" than that: you do not have to kill Paarl for all of this to happen. You can see Paarl, get killed or Mark out, warp to BSB's lantern and walk backwards through Old Yharnam, and Djura will still be non-hostile. Now that doesn't make any sense, but maybe they wanted to make it a little more likely for players to stumble upon the event, as Paarl is a huge fucker if you go there asap. Speaking of: Paarl is a huge fucker and I consider him the worst boss in Bloodborne. He's a twitchy mess who'd be hard enough to hit if he had regular proportions, but he has gangly-rear end legs that are constantly moving and you cannot lock on to them. It's just frustrating. His difficulty is also really binary: the first time I killed him, he didn't get to do ANYTHING because you can chain-break his legs if you're aggressive enough with charged R2s (I recommend the Hunter's Axe spin move). To elaborate on that: each leg can be broken separately, getting rid of his lightning field. He'll collapse for a bit, allowing you to wail on him; if you wail on his head, you can "break" that, making him open for a visceral. After he gets back up, he might swing at you lazily a bit, but mostly retreat quickly and put the lightning field up again. This doesn't hurt you. So the best strategy is to break a leg first asap, try hitting his head and/or other legs while he's down, then keep following him closely as he backs off, keep hitting while he charges up and quite possibly break another leg because that's the only time he stays loving still, guaranteed  . Repeat until he's out of hit points and never let him get a moment's rest. If he can jump and dance around, he's even more loving annoying to hit than BSB and it drives me up the loving wall.

I didn't start noticing my blood vial thing until after this session.  I spent like an hour before the Switch presentation the next day just farming blood vials. As for Paarl being a fucker, funny thing, a few weeks back, I ran through the game fairly quickly with another character and called Artix in for help with Paarl again because he still frustrates me. One of the co-op attempts was met with failure as Paarl's lightning explosion took both of us out at the same time. This would've been with Artix around the ~70 mark, too.

Neither of you should feel too bad, co-operators get scaled down in level and stats to match yours.
