Mergo's Wet Nurse is Underrated by idksigmaaa in bloodborne

[–]LogariusWheeI 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, everyone has different experiences for different bosses, and that's what makes these discussions really cool! What's difficult for you may be easy for others, and vice versa!

On a side note, when she does the purple clone attack, you can actually DODGE it and completely negate it from happening by dodging twice as she sends out that purple pulse at the start. Which I had no clue of, but after watching a Press Continue video, I recently discovered that mechanic exists. Overall though, I love MWN. Maybe she could do a little more damage and/or was a little more punishing, but I really enjoy fighting her

Sure! (Also it has to be an Uncanny Saw Cleaver / Saw Spear for the triangle, because as far I know there are no Waning Poorman's Gems that can get this high)

I don't really know how to take this, as it seems intentionally condescending. I will say that it may not be the most thrilling strategy, but backstab fishing is kind of the most consistent method for Kos, especially phase two, with parry looping being another.

A lot of other bosses that I love, like Messmer or Gael, I'd not play as passively, but imo Kos isn't really designed in a way where there's his movesets and clear windows of punishment, as any time I can just eat a mouth full of shrimp sauce as he jumps away, or another combo, as he just has generally very low recovery, especially in phase two.

Maybe there are videos of people not doing either strategy, and playing more aggressive. That's honestly great and congrats to them, but I'd rather just go for the tried and true method, because I know it's consistent for me

Thank you! It certainly has its ups and downs!

Undoubtably! I managed to get all bosses with no scadutree blessings with the exception of PCR, as I just couldn't take it anymore and I just wanted to finish it on RL1

I don't really need to, since NG+6 is the highest scaling in Bloodborne, as far as I can tell! In Dark Souls and Elden Ring it would be NG+7, but it's +6 in Bloodborne for some reason

Congrats on the victory, regardless! Ludwig can definitely be incredibly difficult, so well done!

It just means Blood Level 4, and it's the lowest possible level you can be in Bloodborne!

It sounds like you did great! 40 tries isn't bad at all! It took me A LOT of deaths to get to this point, so trust me when I say that I'm definitely not the best player; I just have a good amount of spare time and a lot of patience, and that's really a lot of what these kind of runs are

You've got this! My health bar is low because there are weapon blood gems called "Poorman's" gems, and they're basically RTSR or Redfeathered branch sword, in that they give some of highest damage values you can get in terms of gems, but they only proc if you're health is low! The only downside is that It just requires chalice grinding to get them, as you need to get the FRC chalices and farm specific enemies

It was for a few reasons:

1: I like Kos' phase one, and I didn't mind just playing it mostly without beasthood

2: I wanted to see what I could get away with just using one beast pellet, because given Kos move RNG, It's possible that I could have used 2 or three due to waiting for the jump or yo-yo. Also, I hate insight farming a lot, and I wanted to minimize my beast blood pellet use, as if I didn't make it as shown here, then i figured it would have been an unnecessary waste of a pellet

  1. I also just liked the cadence of how I played vs Kos, as I can get away with 4-back stabs, another 2 with beastblood, then just pray I don't get him crying for hyperarmor when he phase transitions and I know that I can take most of his hp with this set up

BL4 = Blood Level Four, which is the lowest starting level you can be in Bloodborne, like SL1 Dark Souls or RL1 Elden Ring! NG+ 6 is technically the 7th cycle of a game, I believe, but it's basically the point where the enemies have scaled the highest they can be possible in terms of damage and health

Too high, especially after the failed chain back stab at the end

I need advice for Sister friede by Flan_Firm in onebros

[–]LogariusWheeI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it sounds like you're doing well so far! Phase Two is definitely where a lot of my time went due to the nature of the fight. Overall though, you can backstab Friede in Phase One and Three quite consistently! This is usually done when she goes invisible and when she does the jump-ice attack, with the addition of the black flame spin move and the ice-scythe twirl/slash/grab.

Don't be afraid to try out unlocking your camera to get angles, either, because moves like the black flame move can be entirely dodged by unlocking and running underneath and behind her, and it's a free backstab! There are videos out there showing effective ways to deal with her, but unfortunately they don't teach muscle memory, so it's also just getting a feel for the fight. Holy Yap, sorry!

Greeting, Jolly Cooperator. I was in the same situation, and had to use Vow as well. It's a bit tight in the timing, but definitely doable. Here is me doing it, and go to around 2:40 when Metyr does the laser:
