The reason dodging feels weird is... because it is. The dodge while in Broccoli form has the I-Frames kick in and end slightly sooner than regular form, which leaves the end of the dodge technically having a higher recovery animation, while also taking a few frames longer to complete from beginning to end. Broccoli form is cool, but it seems like the devs didn't QUITE tune it properly. Also, the Ocsplosion L2 attacks, deals a set amount of damage based on the weapon level. the %damage increases don't actually increase the damage at all. However, flat damage up increases DO increase the damage. So if you want to make an L2 build you need flat damage gems, not %damage gems.

I wonder if maybe the early bosses arcane resistance was a design choice for people playing in NG+. Since most arcane builds don't (normally) come together until the late game, it means that a person who wants to do an arcane run might be more inclined to go to NG+, so they give the early bosses some extra arcane resistance to make sure they didn't just get steam rolled. I could be completely off base here, just a thought that came to mind. Great video, Mr. Leeds.

[@Quandry1]

It likely is exactly for that reason, otherwise they wouldn't have altered it for NG+ where it is available.

[@Celticassassin23]

I think it's also lore reasons since the bosses that are wel to it are horrors where as the early game are mostly beasts

[@raydhen8840]

It is deliberate yes. From devs tend to do Gameplay and Story Integration like that. Arcane stats is the equivalent of Intelligence in Bloodborne, as such, it does more damage against other being with affinity to arcane, like Kins & Great Ones. Therefore Beasts, being driven by instinct, naturally has big resistance against it. Beast-possessed Soul, Abhorrent Beast, Bloodletting Beast are the only ones with weak ARC resistance, but there's some sort of justification to it. The first one can do fire magic; Abhorrent can talk (and in general retain sapience); Bloodletting controlled by parasite with head that lliterally looks like brain lined with (bug) eyes, constant theme in the game.

[@mkv2718]

the best way to do an arcane build early is to get the fire gem at the bottom of the cathedral ward, and then go to the chalice dungeons, hope fore at least one good drop, and then get a radial fire from the big doggo. boom, you’ve got a good fire build going early on. can be used with any of the starting area weapons, but i like the saw spear since it also has the serrated bonus, and both that and fire are good for beasts, which you fight mostly early on. by the time you get to the nightmare frontier, you can then get some lightning gems for a backup weapon (put those on a church weapon for that bonus and you’ve now covered all your bases about halfway through, assuming you’re doing chalices, tho i save the latter half for ng+ anyhoo🤷‍♂️) but yeah. elemental arcane is probably my favorite build. got putting that sicker together on lock down😂

i also consider lore to this because lets remember, beasts and insight DO NOT MIX AT ALL. the madness is from int but the beast is driven only by instinct and thus lacks all inelegance.

"It's good in minmaxed pvp" is an elaborate way of saying "it's useless for 99% of the game".

[@Phaxey]

The benefit of arcane scaling is that the soft cap doesn't hit nearly as hard when reaching 50 stat points (especially for hunter tools), unlike all the other stats which has a much harsher drop-off in damage from any stat investment beyond 50. This makes arcane builds very strong at very high levels. The flipside is that it's pretty bad at low levels, also because (most) arcane gems and (most) arcane tools can't be found until lategame. P.S. I just remembered that a common use for the kos parasite was to have a pure glass cannon arcane build with high/max arcane and strong arcane gems, then invade someone (or get invaded) and use the Messenger's Gift (transform into a message on the ground) at a chokepoint, and once the enemy player comes close, you use the L2 AoE attack to one-shot them.

I'd say the Kos parasite is probably my favorite weapon just because how unique it is, but it isn't a great bosskiller. The move set is great for dealing with normal enemies as it has a lot of stagger, reach, hyper armor and doesn't bounce of walls. It is very good for dealing with some of the more human sized bosses in the chalice dungeons, like the Pthumerians and the watchers. Also good against NPC hunters. The thing about arcane builds in Bloodborne is that you want to use a varied toolkit more so than other builds, and the parasite is just one of those tools, not *the* tool. It isn't really a defense of the weapon itself, but just the reality of how the game is designed. You want to be able to switch elements depending on what you're fighting. A pure physical build will generally do OK against most things, while an arcane build can do great granted you're willing to switch up what element you're using.

[@atthewmayeohanekay9294]

See, I absolutely love this weapon, but I used it pretty much exclusively on basic enemies. Bosses got to eat hunter tools, because the scaling on those is ridiculous. It doesn’t help that arcane builds are VERY feast-or-famine depending on damage type, enemies can be either super weak or completely immune to them. I had a lot of fun feeling out specific weaknesses for each boss, but then I’m one of those weirdos who finds no real fun in unga-bungaing their enemies with large sticks. Honestly, my favorite thing to do with the Kos parasite was equip it WITHOUT becoming an angry tree. Sure, the damage is worse and the move set is basic, but I don’t really *need* a super powerful weapon if my primary “boss killing” strategy involves the “suddenly tentacle” and the “spooky scary skulls.” The aesthetic of the empty-handed sorcerer is worth it I feel.

[@765craven4]

Having done a pure Arcane playthrough a few times I can confidently say that they're not really given the Blood Gems to succeed outside of Chalice Dungeons. By that I mean Physical weapons are generally given a streadily increasing quality of Gem throughout the game, with low quality ones early and high quality late. Arcane damage types get a few throughout the game and that's it, with a few farmable ones here and there, but with no Radials available to farm and just the one Droplet you're pretty strapped for options. Within the main game your best bet for gems applicable to the Kos Parasite would be the Arcane Droplet, the Odd Radial one in Fishing Hamlet and a Nourishing Gem from a Gargoyle in Cainhurst. Options are that limited. I wouldn't say that Arcane weapons are inherently more reliant on Blood Gems than Physical weapons, and more that your options are just so much more limited without utilizing Chalice Dungeons. Edt: Theoretically you could farm the Celestial Emissary enemies in Forbidden Woods for some alright Triangles and hope for Out of Shape drops but that's so astronomically rare you couldn't rely on them.

the plunge attack is great too. big ole headbutt edit: you really do need to go into the chalice dungeons for this weapon to work. also, once you have the weapon the messenger baths there sell the other versions, which means you can get a Triangle Gem Parasite if you don’t want to spend too much time farming. there’s a reason this is supposed to be a ng+ weapon. arcane scaling gems seem to be the best. edit 2: you would have been better off with the “uncanny” version of the weapon. the gem slots go Radial > Triangle > Radial, instead of shoving that crescent one at the end.

A normal quickstep to the side is 20 frames long, giving you 11 frames of invincibility and 9 frames of vulnerability (lag). Milkweed side quickstep is 23 frames long, gives you 11 frames of invincibility, 12 frames of vulnerability, and 13 frames of hyper armor during that vulnerability (lasting 1 frame after the lag for some reason). Beast's Embrace side quickstep is 24 frames long, gives you 11 frames of invincibility, and 13 frames of vulnerability.

1) they gave the first bosses arcane resistance likely because they just needed to buff them up somehow to even out their weaknesses without impacting the fights too much, which is why they chose a stat most don’t rely on early game 2) I was kinda excited to use the kos parasite cuz orphan is my favorite bb boss but uuh, maybe not seeing that damage

[@1mrsheep]

The arcane resist is the key difference between Beast and Kin type enemies, most bosses in early game are Beast class and are weaker to serrated weapons and Fife, after the Red moon your effectiveness would snowball as the Kin become far more common. Hence the wetnurse and amygdala getting humbled

I've played through Bloodborne 3-4 times and never knew you could set that beast on fire in Old Yarnham

Balamb garden music in the background ❤

The gate skip to get to forbidden woods early is good, but I think it's much easier to do it in the staircase up by iosefkas door. You clip out the side of the wall and out of bounds, and fall down near where the brainsucker is.

The OCTSPLOSION attack was surely inspired by Michael Jackson. When you hug yourself, I can practically hear "WHEEE HEEEEE!"

On the walk to the Mensis Brain (in the area with all the Winter Lanterns) there’s a droplet gem that does a flat 18% damage boost.

The reason quickstepping probably feels so off in Lumenwood form is because normally, your character stays upright and leans a little in the direction you dodge, making your hitbox stay relatively thin. As a Lumenwood, your upper torso drags behind you, making your hitbox about twice as wide and therefore requiring tighter dodge timing to successfully i-frame through attacks.

0:45 that joke is a felony sir go straight to jail

[@FlappoTheSilentScientist]

Love the Xenoblade music here. Xenoblade 3 is my favorite game of all time Surprised nobody mentioned the music sooner

[@Ejmillanv]

Broooo that Ludwig figurine i've seen the 3d prints file on and been wanting to get it, it's looks so good!

[@snaccpacc651]

Hearing the Balamb Garden OST from FFVIII while watching a squid slap monsters in Bloodborne was definitely not how I thought this was gunna start

[@HollandTHG]

Looking upwards when using the barf attack can extend the reach. Glorious video so far.

[@hodgknob3545]

"After *destorying* the Orphans soul..." is definitely one of the most 2023 things I've heard this year.

[@pocketinfinity6733]

6:33 dont be that shocked, cleric beast has high arcane defence

[@yearoldsinger]

I think the Arcane resistance on early bosses is something to effect new game + difficulty, they just applied it at all times because as you said early game 99% of people won’t be utilizing arcane until later so it won’t be an issue for new players

[@ChildNightmare]

I couldnt imagine playing this game without a parry your a true soldier

[@vVAstrAVv]

He'd have a parry if he used auger. Even when 2 handing

[@YasonYou]

6:57 you can tell when he placed down his controller lmao

[@cringlator]

I love playing that last tenth of NG as broccoli man

[@TheAntiSanta]

A really fun weapon when you play with it in NG+ with all the messed up Blood Gems you farmed. My best in slot for this weapon is a Cursed Gem that decreases attack but then Increases Arcane Damage so much it surpasses anything else I have on any other weapon.

[@YasonYou]

11:53 No joke, I was texting my new GF my favorite pizza toppings as I was watching this part.

[@DoomWolfOfficial]

Your son woke up crying because he could feel your pain looking at the damage of that weapon lol

[@JKLeeds]

I think so! 😂

[@Babza_Jr]

[@WhoElseButJarjosa]

The reason why a lot of the early bosses are resistant to arcane is because many of them are beasts, and beasthood is the evolutionary counterweight to the kin, or Great Ones. Beasts are not as affected by arcane because they lack the enlightenment needed to understand its power.

[@bullets1x99]

Haha nice classic castlevania tracks from super castlevania 4 About halfway through the video The clock tower theme Love it JK!!!

[@ZanZone]

Love the FF8 back theme

[@Dinivas]

Always good to get some more Frogborne content.

[@Xalvador_Ysellian]

I will forever LOVE how much FFX-2 music is in these videos 😩❤️❤️❤️
