I can't fucking beat Cleric Beast... What can I do?

>>723203168 (OP)
Nothing apparently lmao loser

He's optional but maybe try not sucking shit.

>>723203168 (OP)
Summon gas coin

throw oil and fire on him it. kicks the shit out of him.
always use the attack, transform attack. does big damage. then back off and see what he does.
if you don't have maximum blood vials go farm them from the two big ogre dudes pacing back and forth.
sometimes in these games, getting just one more level into your attack makes a big difference.

>>723203168 (OP)
grim

>>723203168 (OP)
play the better version of the game

>>723203567
This is fucking shit.

Don't lock on

>>723203168 (OP)
Level up now that you have 1 insight from engaging the fight. Do you still have the default clothing?

>>723203168 (OP)
You have to pray to Zanzibart first

>>723203168 (OP)
try finger, but hole

>>723203168 (OP)
Have you tried attacking him?

If you have to do anything special to beat cleric beast you may have brain damage
the double werewolf encounter is harder than it

>>723203365

>>723203550
>>723203880
wtf please no bully
>>723203527
>>723203636
let me try this
>>723203716
no, I have changed to the hunter's clothing

>>723203168 (OP)
idk why but I was in the same boat until I just started spamming bullets for the counter attacks. Bloodborne ended up being too fast paced for me.

>>723204120
Yeah you basically gotta treat giant bosses in souls games like monster hunter and not lock on. Cleric Beast is actually pretty slow and you can easily stay behind him. Locking on can help you throw items but personally I still find it easier to manually aim throwing items on big enemies.

I was stuck on Cleric Beast, too, as a new player to the genre, and went on to beat every boss in the game and have completed most souls-likes at this point. The only solution is to git gud.

Use serrated weapons like the saw cleaver/spear or transformed cane and stick to his big hand side

>>723204293
You're overthinking things. Half the bosses can be defeated by mindlessly spamming cleaver at them.

>>723203168 (OP)
Oh boy, you're going to love blood-starved beast.

It’s been a while since I fought him, but I’d have to echo the advice to use lock-on sparingly with him. I seem to remember having to look out for jumps and grabs.
You do also have access to another boss right now if I’m not mistaken.

>>723203168 (OP)
The actual areas boss is much harder and isn't optional.

Bloodborne is a ten year-old video game now…

>>723204770
PCkeks are just now getting around to it lol

>>723204610
>2025
>still pretending BSB is a threat
>when it literally cannot hit you if you circlestrafe it

>>723204803
>now
Has been playable on PC for much longer though.

>>723204770
And that's a good thing, it's not ruined by nuFrom souls design and you can just grugg through it and appreciate the kino

>>723204120
Upgrade your weapon if you found any blood shards. I forget if you can do that right from the beginning. Other than that just do what the other anon said and don't lock on and stay to its side or behind it

>>723204803
Good for them, seriously! I thought it was a crime that a game this good was stuck on PlayStation.

>>723203168 (OP)
not necessary to beat
necessary to gain my respect

>>723204943
>Upgrade your weapon if you found any blood shards. I forget if you can do that right from the beginning.
You can, yeah.

Is Bloodborne emulation actually stable now? I want to play for October but can't be assed to use my PS4, though I would like to move my saves over, can you do that?

>>723203496
>10 years later and I'm just learning you can summon him for the fight

>>723205110
yes

>>723205146
They actually added it in the DLC.

>>723203168 (OP)
Cleric beast is difficult for some people because of the high HP, inconsistent damage, obscured camera, and the fact that you cant really see what hes doing past all the hair.
Just skip him and come back later. Gascoigne is the real boss. If you need vials or bullets in tbe beginning, open the gate at the lamp. Parry the two ogres, clear out the building, and lead the bridge werewolves to the house and attack them from within. Use bloodbullets to save bullets on the parries.

>>723205361
wut? I remember seeing someone summon him in the playtest back before release

>>723203168 (OP)
>The hardest boss in the game is a reskin of the easiest boss but with fire gimmick.
You're gonna love lava cleric beast OP.

>>723205448
Forgot pic

>>723204843
oh hell nah I struggled with that shit and I have been playing since demon souls. BSB is a powerful filter

>>723205428
It definitely wasn't original. As someone who played it long before the dlc it wasn't until the dlc where I saw summons.

>>723205428
It's possible it was in a beta version but then cut for normal release, only to be added back in with the DLC.

>>723205428
My bad, it was added in 1.03. Not the DLC

>>723203168 (OP)
Saw spear, fire paper, don't lock on. Early yharnam is also a great place to farm for echoes just as a general principle if things feel tough

this kid is going to get dumpstered by gascoigne

>>723203168 (OP)
>try both bosses a couple times each
>now all my heals are gone
>farm a little bit
>get bored and quit
I didn't have this issue with demon's souls, but regardless I hate this fucking mechanic

>>723206026
I quit Dark Souls 1 after Gargoyles when I was 15, but BB was the first souls game I blunt force'd to completion. Don't discourage the youth

>>723206113
Everyone does, not a single person on Earth thinks farming blood vials was a good thing.

>>723206180
farm them? The chalices give you infinity money to buy them anyway

>>723206278
>just wait till 3/4 of the way through the game then abuse an obscure glitch
Yeah good solution jackass.

>>723206113
That's why you don't actually use blood vials until you sorta understand the fight dumbass

>>723206336
Its the second boss

>>723203168 (OP)
if its a big monster in the game you literally spam roll and slash then heal if it hits you

if its more humanoid they all have parry windows you can tie your shoes and still hit

>>723203168 (OP)
go level up your Health, Bloodborne's rally mechanic is overpowered as fuck so you can literally just facetank almost every base game boss so long as you have a decent health stat and just keep attacking because the attacking heals you

>>723206361
>don't use your healing consumables until you understand the fight
>instead you need to rally to a rabid degree, which requires much more understanding of the fight
I think I'll just play one of the many actually fun games From has made instead

>frogpost
Yeah you should play something more your speed, like Minecraft

>>723206026
Why doesn't the Hunter escort the little girl to Gascoigne? Why do you allow her to walk alone through the sewers and get eaten by a giant pig monster? Fucking asshole

>>723206804
Not my problem.

>>723206559
More like you play cautiously until you have a basic understanding of the enemy's moveset instead of panichealing the moment you get hit and dying the exact same way panichealers have been dying since Demon's Souls, all while wasting your consumables
Of course this might be beyond the capabilities of someone who can't even beat Cleric Beast

>>723206361
this is retarded, almost every bloodborne boss is easy as shit and the only reason you wouldn't be able to beat 95% of them on the first try is if you restrict yourself from using the 20 heals you can start every fight with

>>723207047
It's true BB isn't terribly hard but you're just being retarded in the other direction

bb is the easiest souls game besides demon's how are you getting filtered by blood vials?!

>>723206804
Why does one of my favorite games have to be the only one I know of where you can fist a pig in the ass, to death

>>723207203
DS1 is by far the easiest. I could probably beat it with my feet on the controller

>>723204843
A single poison grab can kill you from full hp if you haven't been pump points mainly into hp.
But what kind of fag mainly starts his build with leveling hp as the main stat? Oh right, elden shit faggots so most of the pckeks emulating BB in the current year probably didn't struggle too much with blood-starved beast.

>>723203168 (OP)
Most people are under leveled for the fight when they meet Cleric Beast. You have multiple other places you can go instead, right outside, and then come back.

>>723203168 (OP)
Beasts are weak to serrated weapons and fire. Do enough damage to Cleric Beast's big arm and you'll force a stagger. Riposts/backstabs do a lot of damage especially if you're investing in Skill. Cover an enemy in oil before hitting them with fire for a lot of bonus damage.

>>723207294
wow a female twitch streamer will you sign my cock?

>>723203168 (OP)

Damn, you need to go back.

>>723205560
>>723207360
what part of literally cannot hit you do you not understand

>>723207495
Yeah yeah now try actually hitting it with that sissy strat of yours.
Also not every new player has a 100 hours of play time and looked up the exact start to beat the boss.

>>723207360
Your weapons never scale well until theyre 6+ anyways, you may as well upgrade HP first and see some returns.

>>723205448
He is not the hardest boss of the game.

>>723207592
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLCjrpghCYc

>>723207592
Bro can't you just accept you're actually retarded? Like you're coming up with all this cope to convince yourself that you're not retarded when you're clearly very retarded. Like the sort of retarded that thinks overcomboing a boss in the face as it telegraphs is how you play videogame.
Anybody without a childlike intellect circles behind in a souls game.

>>723203168 (OP)
Grind in the sewers until you get your weapon to +3, and use oil and fire.

>>723203168 (OP)
yeah boss design is BB's weakness.

>>723203168 (OP)
>What can I do?
Go play some games that require some actual skill, then come back and play these types of games that were made for casual players to feel like they're pro gamers, and then these types of games won't feel as difficult anymore.

>>723208267
no it's not you just suck

>>723207682
>but also make sure you're using a skill build (because that increases visceral attack dmg, ofc every new player knows this)
>and have the saw cleaver leveled because it's literally the best weapon for this boss (ofc every new player knows this)
>and know what beast pellets are and use it
>and use fire paper
>uploaded the only attempt were he didn't get unlucky and got grabbed
>still gets hit in the clip
So much for "literally cannot hit you", dipshit.

>>723203168 (OP)
Unlock your camera when you fight him.

>>723208332
just walk left retard

>>723208332
*Saw spear.

>>723208332
Take the L retard

>>723208297
games such as?

>>723208364
>>723208386
No you take the L.
He IS a hard boss for newfags that go in blind and just because you played the shit out of this game/already know all the tricks and mechanics behind a boss doesn't make him not a casual filter.

>>723203168 (OP)
>>723204120
beat the fuck out of his limbs and he'll stagger with a big pulse of gore, which you can potentially chain through multiple limb breaks back to back. he'll also periodically heal the limbs you break. the first throwing knife thrown at his face will always instantly breaks it to knock him down for a riposte/visceral attack, and you have time to sink a charged heavy into his face before taking the visceral if you position and initiate right

>>723208470
He is a hard boss for retards, especially ones who make excuses for being retarded instead of simply not being retarded
We've been over this a thousand times over the years, it's actually crazy that there's still retards like you out there

>>723208470
go to bed kid

>>723208603
Eh I just woke up though.

>>723208332
You're trying too hard

if you ever get stuck in this game level up hp

Yeah I think uhhh post-Amelia Ludwig is gonna filter him
early paarl if you get kidnapped is actually hard though cause the crumbling gimmick is tied to actual damage and it's a mid-late game boss

>>723209071
This.
Back in the day it seemed like an alien concept and a stat that you'd level ONLY after having leveled everything else.

I can understand some filtering by Gascoigne but Cleric Beast is a stretch

>>723210104
I've played the game 100 times and Gascoigne still mauls me a couple times, even on NG+

>>723210104
People are just scared of cleric beast. His attacks do either no damage or too much, he flails around wildly, and hes SO FUCKING LOUD.
Even his runback is scarier because of the werewolves, meanwhile gascoignes has 3 trolls (9 free vials)

>>723203168 (OP)
I know someone who's a ftm tranny and (s)he beat Cleric Beast in 3 tries.

>>723210104
Cleric Beast was one of the most common filters for this game. One of my friends got filtered by the guns in the game being weak but another got filtered by the cleric beast when the game was free on PS+.

>>723210230
He's a humanoid so you can just manhandle him with unga weapons/moves like the 2nd charged hit of the transformed saw spear.

>>723210406
>One of my friends got filtered by the guns in the game being weak

>>723210230
Gas can one shot you on NG+ so I don’t really blame you for that one. It’s a bit of a surprise.

>>723210473
Yeah he told me he’d shoot enemies and thought it was really dumb how the gun barely did any damage so he stopped. Obviously he didn’t know about the bloodtinge stuff or whatever. He liked Elden Ring but took 7 hours against fire giant and then stopped after Godfrey.

>>723210230
I parry him into the dirt every time. I can't remember the last time I died to him

>>723210623
The chalices are fun, most of the enemies are so obviously just from the FS archives that we’re just rotting there so you get silly stuff like this.

>>723210623
Can't believe Miyazaki hid his personal fetish monster away like that

>>723210623
erotic

>>723203168 (OP)
Don't play bad games.
Don't make threads about them.

>>723210623
I don't think I have EVER seen that enemy, what the fuck
I have hundreds of hours in Chalice Dungeons alone

>>723203168 (OP)
Encountering him means you have gained insight, so you can wake the doll to level up if you farm the map a few times

>>723210860
Unfortunately for you, October is Bloodborne month

>>723210872
Its incredibly rare. So rare that people use a glyph code just to find it and die to it lol
Even patches the spider is in there

>>723211059
>So rare that people use a glyph code just to find it and die to it lol
if ever something deserved to be illustrated with soijaks

>easier parry windows
>every failed parry will be a free stagger against most enemies
>can straight-up forsake parrying and go all in on stagger cheesing
>stamina recovers when you spam it, meaning you can stunlock a humanoid to death by quick-attacking, spamming bullets when your stamina is empty, then spam quick attacks again when stamina is replenished
This thing is actually broken and almost no one knows it.
Pair with the rune that gives you 2 bullets for a successful visceral attack and you are nigh-unstoppable.

>>723211059
I know there are some other rare ones, and I think I had come across one or two, very odd addition, kinda neat

>>723210971
You can absolutely fight the cleric beast without any insight & by simply fighting it for the first time, you gain the insight needed to level up, provided you haven't found any insight before then

>>723211268
Yeah, but I'm just trying to throw out options for the guy

>>723211226
Yeah I used this against Orphan of Kos because he'd dodge my bullets with the pistol.

>>723210623
>>723210872
it's fucked up how there are a couple enemies that technically exist in the thousand odd Chalice Dungeons that you can possibly roll, yet are so nonexistently obscure that you may never see them. Also makes me think about some of the cut stuff, like a few more fire themed mobs in the same vein as Watchdog of the Old Lords that never saw the light of day.

I'm still fucking mad that you can't get the max level Guidance rune because it isn't in the loot tables properly, and a couple of mystery items not existing in the Isz tables causes you to be locked out of most of them as it tries to help you loot those nonexistent things by restricting you to the dungeons that should contain them, even if you can save edit to fix it.

With snoy softening their PC port policy over time I hope we get a rerelease or Fromsoft remake with these sorts of things fixed, I want to do a fresh playthrough with the other rusty bastards mixed up among all the new blood.

>>723211472
>With snoy softening their PC port policy over time I hope we get a rerelease or Fromsoft remake
Will never ever happen.
You'll get another Horizon or TLOU pc port instead. The fact that all the good exclusives back from the ps3 era never made it to pc should have already tipped you off.

Also Fromsoft already officially stated that they "do not own the Bloodborne IP" in a direct response to people asking for a remaster/pc port. It's basically them saying that if Sony doesn't want it then it's not happening.

>>723211780
>never ever
it's been TEN YEARS OF SPIRITED DEMANDS, NOT JUST BY THE NEVEREVERS BUT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BUY THE GAME A SECOND TIME IN THE HOPE OF SOME FIXES OR CUT CONTENT

TEN

YEARS

THE MONEY IS THERE TO BE PRINTED ALMOST FO FREE THEY JUST DID EXACTLY THAT ON PC WITH HELLDIVERS AND THAT WAS CLEARLY EXPECTED TO BE A NICHE FLOP, BUT NOW THEY SAT ON IT SO LONG FROMSOFT IS MAKING BATTLE ROYALE NOT-BLOODBORNE AND PUT IT ON THE GODDAMN SWITCH OUT OF PURE SPITE

I HATE (((SONY))) OF AMERICA

>Also Fromsoft already officially stated that they "do not own the Bloodborne IP" in a direct response to people asking for a remaster/pc port. It's basically them saying that if Sony doesn't want it then it's not happening.
Shuhei Yoshida, former head of SIE, says differently.
>"People wonder why we haven't really done anything," Yoshida said. "My theory is because I remember Miyazaki-san really, really loved Bloodborne, what he created. So I think he is interested but he's so successful and so busy, so he cannot do it himself and he doesn't want anyone else to touch it. So that's my theory and the PlayStation team respects his wish. I am not revealing any secret information."
>https://www.newsweek.com/entertainment/former-sie-president-shuhei-yoshida-reveals-reason-avoiding-bloodborne-ps5-update-2015880

>>723212191
Sony broke you.

>>723212239
based Miyazaki has the same taste as me in his games

>>723212239
Sounds like bullshit to me desu.
They are just passing the ball at eachother at this point.

>>723211472
>I hope we get a rerelease or Fromsoft remake with these sorts of things fixed
That's what I actually want from these remasters. Don't make it more shiny, put back in the stuff you had to leave out due to time/budget restraints.
I was super bummed that the DeS remake didn't get the 6th Archstone - all the content was there, Bluepoint could have had design meetings with Fromsoft and discussed how it would have all worked and come up with a good plan for implementation.
A full Remaster of DS1 and BB would slap - fix up anything left out (Lost Izalith for example, and Chalice Dungeons for BB).

>>723212346
My only hope is that we see something announced at TGA this year. Whatever this project FMC is. Michael-Zaki has said he still wants to refine what he started with BB and Sekiro in regards to action-combat.

>>723212285
I just cannot fucking understand how they watched Sega commit suicide live by tail-wagging-dog syndrome in large part through an American branch headed by a Jew, even as there were other factors, and have proceeded to slowly cuck themselves to death through deliberately allowing themselves to be supplanted and their entire corporate structure and HQ gradually de-Japanized by their American branch led by Jews. Or is it jeets since last I checked? it's probably both

>>723212416
bluepoint was too busy farming all the design work out to completely unrelated and probably largely undirected Artstation gooks and making 'their mark' on 'their version of DeS' instead of just making a faithful remake to consider collaborating with FromSoft to develop anything cut from near-scratch. I don't think they should be allowed to touch a From IP again, even if they think they've learned their lesson they'll fuck something up bad.

>>723206113
>>723206180
i have never in my life had to farm for vials
just run around in starter zone and pick up everything including the hunter armor

>>723212723
>i have never in my life had to farm for vials
Same. I never understood the complaint. The game throws them at you, and even if you suck, you can get infinite vials from the trolls under the bridge (bonus, teaches you to parry correctly).

>>723212346
If they were able to FromSoft should just go back and finish all the games as they were originally intended. Really don't understand why more video games don't do it. Even books back then were revised and later re-released years later, sometimes even decades apart. There was no excuse for Dark Souls Remastered not to fix blatantly unfinished shit like Lost Izalith

>>723203168 (OP)
level strength and vit and try to upgrade your weapon. also if you havent gotten the shortcut do that. as for the actual fight you mostly just want to stick yo the side with the smaller arm
