Bloodborne, but my Hammer is Heavy and my Level is Low
Ойындар
Can you beat Bloodborne using only the charged R2 attacks of the Kirkhammer in hammer form? Including the unique follow up R2 you can perform after landing a fully charged attack. But also while staying at the lowest level you can be at in order to meet the stat requirements, which is BL11. And the result is that I went completely bonkers in this minimal stats challenge run

@@PressContinue I used the Wheel a lot and it doesn't seem to have a ton of rally potential, at least in its tricked form. I usually ran it Arc or Vit gouge with flat Arc gems so I didn't use the untricked form a whole lot, maybe it rallied better since more of the damage was blunt instead of arcane.
The follow up on the Kirkhammer's heavy attack may be the most satisfying attack to land in the whole game. There's nothing better than sending a large beast flying away from you, dealing massive damage in the process.
That Gehrman trick would have real useful to know about for my Fist of Gratia only run... I had to completely re-learn the boss for that run.
53:54 What I think happened was Orphan stumbled on some rocks. More specifically, Orphan initiated a forward pounding attack, but moved to a position where he couldn't reach the ground and entered for a split second a falling animation, after which he began a side swiping attack.
I know this is old and someone already would have said it, but orphan cancelled the attack because the lunge forward made contact with the rocks which provided orphan with height, when he landed the landing animation cancelled the lunge which allowed him to immediately choose another attack

I think the reason blunt damage isn't really super effective on a lot of things in Bloodborne is most likely due to everything being relatively human/animal or an eldritch monster. Blunt damage in rpgs is almost solely strong against things like skeletons and crystal monsters who can break and shatter and it prevent them from existing

Ny first playthrough was basically this right here, although I started with the threaded cane. I love the kirk hammer, my 2nd fav weapon! However I've become a saw cleaver main. It just feels great to use.
Kirkhammer R2 is kinda how I played anyways ngl. Was not told till later that the Greatsword was just objectively better. I just thought it was cool, slowing me down to the same kind of speed as the bosses and predicting the opponents incoming movements to hit them with the charged R2. Had to practice in Chalice Dungeons a lot but I actually really liked playing through them.
What an amazing and painful concept

On the placenta bit Most placenta don't have a shiny reflective surface akin to polished metal, or make a clanging metallic noise when slammed into stone.
