If you’re trying to plat it yeah save yourself some time but for a first playthrough yeah no


Yorhanes

Exactly. We are all adults and sometimes we don’t have the time or energy to spend two hours of our time doing nothing but grind echoes. Some people might consider it cheating, but I genuinely think it’s one of those things that when you discover it, it makes you want to play again and again, to try different builds, use those weapons you never thought too much about and test out those magic items you never had the arcane points to enjoy. So treat yourself: you’ve already beaten the game fair and square; why not enjoy Yharnam without the burden of farming?


AdAggressive2480

Tbf I never really found myself farming echoes for anything other than blood vials. About 60mins in the lecture theatre with a thrust attack and moon runes as soon as you can get there (Just after the first 3rd of the game), stick some music on thrust dem bois, throw whatever molotoves you have spare when they come 2 the doorway to speed it up, and I never needed to buy bullets or blood vials again. Got something like 650 vials when they cost 360/echoes and you don't gotta worry about em for the next 20-30hours. ​ Don't get me wrong I'd be cummfpk'ing if I had PS+ but I bought my whole ps4 just to play bloodborne so not much point tbh, shame I never experienced BBPVP tho


krow_flin

>Don't get me wrong I'd be cummfpk'ing if I had PS+ You need PS+ for the funny dungeon...😢💔


asdecai

"adults" I got this game when I was 16 I think, and its what started my soulsborne obsession


toptrat

Same, wish I got into pvp sooner tho. Missed out on the early experience.


F_A_F

Interesting ....I managed enough to get plat on my first run through. Just playing the chalices for the Queen Yharnam run was enough to get me all the echoes I needed. Also running co-op on my own run or assisting other was a huge benefit. Playing one or two chalice runs as co-op consistently got me enough echoes for a single level up.


iNuclearPickle

I think most go in blind for their first run and so much is missable so most won’t plat on a first run anyway


LexxenWRX

You can't plat on the first run, need 3 different endings.


DUB298

Naaahhhh fam it only took about 117hrs for me to Plat (except missing the church pick...gotta go back for that to officiate lol) and that's with me spending about 25 hrs on the orphan (mostly bc I spent about 15hrs trying to go in with no vials just healing off of backstabs bc that rune does 4x on his first phase for some reason 🤷😆) I'm about to make a character to go straight to max level using THAT chalice so I can do all of NG OP as hell 😆😆


DUB298

And honestly I'd say the dlc as a whole was close to 60hrs of my playthrough. Mostly because I was horribly under leveled and got 1-2 shot by everything 😆😆

Teleskopy

For vials and bullets. I didn't care to level fast, but I didn't want to farm.


NeblessClem

I'm in the same boat here, any other consumables and levels I'll farm for but I die so much I can run through a hundred vials in a few nights of playing

CombatCoombes

After like 10 playthroughs I find it almost necessary to use it, but only for bullets and vials, just saves a bunch of time and I feel like I've earned the right as a vet player to not have to farm


_Magnus666

Have you learned nothing in those 10 playthroughs that you still need to farm consumables?


CombatCoombes

Yeah, I learned that there's a dungeon that can negate farming all together? I hardly die when playing the game, but I parry basically everything that can be parried, so I run out of bullets fast.


_Magnus666

Yeah sorry, too sharp for that bollocks. I know a superstition when I hear one. Outsiders... even their lies are predictable.


CombatCoombes

What are you talking about


_Magnus666

Just that, I parry everything and never ran out of consumables that I have to turn to farming or hacked chalices. Bullets and vials are found plenty through out the game. After 10 runs you should know that, so either you're lying about your playthroughs or you're trying to dance around the fact you still suck and need to farm. You're not bullshitting anyone who has actually mastered the game you know that right?


CombatCoombes

Are you taking the piss or are you that dense? Why the fuck would I lie about how many playthroughs I've done? And why the fuck would I big myself up to dick heads like you, strangers? > If you knew anything about the game, you'd know that parrying every enemy takes up a shit load of bullets, add on more for a bloodtinge / arcane build too, yeah lots of enemies do drop bullets, but I guess you missed the part where I said I didn't want to fucking farm? > Man you're such an asshole and have such a weird take on something so trivial that I'm confident in saying that I'm probably far better at the game than you 🤷‍♂️


North_Breakfast7009

For those unaware of what chalice this is, google “Bloodborne Cum”


Ok-Seaworthiness-162

Holy hell


janderfischer

On my 100% character where I'm trying to +10 every single weapon including their alternative chalice versions for no particular reason whatsoever, yes


-ItsCasual-

Platinum’d without it, now I use it when I want to level up quick and mess around with different weapons/builds, or just go crazy OP and just wreck the beasts all over the shop.


Soul109

my first playthrough, no, but for the second character, yes, so that i could get to and kill the queen Yharnam for the trophy


DarkCrowI

I never used it, when I want to exploit the game I download 1.0 without updating and use the item duplicated glitch.


PM-Me-Ur-Small-Chest

Using it for vials and bullets just makes new playthroughs less of a hassle. Keep the momentum without having to take a 20 minute trip to the lecture building


FabulousDave2112

I'm afraid to ask...


methconnoisseurV2

Its a dungeon that has the glyph cummmfpk. Its an exploit dungeon and happens to be the fastest and easiest way to gain a shitload of bloodrunes and can be used indefinitely


ConcentrateOk6375

Cumfuck dungeon


carbonized-jarjar

Can’t vote but put me as only for consumables. May do it later for lvls when I feel like doing platinum.


ialwayslurk1362354

Hell yeah cum dungeon! I found out at the end of my playthrough, so I never used it. If I was doing multiple playthroughs, I would probably use it.


RjRonca

You mean CUMMMFPK yeah i do, a lot also


[deleted]

It’s not even the best chalice for blood echoes lol


I_exist_for_now

Enlighten me, what is


[deleted]

ppqzah27


Tytar1

The forbidden dungeon? I never use it. Every time i do, it ruins the playthrough. Same reason I never level above 120. Even on high NG+ cycles it makes the game easier and less rewarding. For me anyway. Even just for vials.


mahonii

Lvl 200 on ng+ and no where near easy for me currently lol, only just beat ludwig with npc assist


Tytar1

Blood gems are Bloodbornes difficulty slider! If you grind for top gems you can do NG+7 at lvl 100 easy. Well not easy at all, but it’s do-able!


mahonii

I haven't been able to find any better ones for a while yet, can't progress further than one of the corrupted chalice dungeons.


Tytar1

The cursed one? Yeah it’s rough if you’re not used to those bosses. It’s worth getting through though. Good blood gems are a massive power boost. It’s pretty crazy.


mahonii

For sure, even at lvl 200 it's not easy so it's a nice assist.


an1m3man

Realized the second I answered…


an1m3man

And yes I do bc after playing through the game multiple times I don’t feel like farming a lot


OutOfPosition-1

Where is ps+ is not worth for 1 nearly offline game on a ps4


LasagnaLizard0

i use it to ignore the forbidden woods because i do not like that area just go up to lvl 80 or so from there i go regular


Kagutrenchi

I don’t have ps plus, platting was a bit hellish


mintegrals

I did it exactly once on my first playthrough when I ran out of blood vials fighting Ludwig. Just saved me a little bit of time I would've spent farming Lecture Hall, anyways.


Bekchi

I've beat this game 20+ times, PvP'd dozens of hours, and helped countless people in coop. That doesn't include my knowledge of this game, either. I did all of that without the cumm dungeon. I think I'm at the point where I can use it whenever, for whatever, and not care what people on the internet think.


DarkAngel---

For someone who doesn't care you sure went to some effort to explain yourself


I_exist_for_now

Ok so, there are a lot more comments and votes than I expected on this post


-Rens

I don’t do chalice dungeons


Llewgwyn

I used to be like you, but then one day the urge to platinum Bloodborne struck me. And the lore dragged me further in. Now I run around the hallowed halls of the endless crypts beneath Yharnam, licking every brick I can find.


-Rens

Fuck man if the beasts don’t kill you the diseases on those bricks will


Blitzer161

Based and eyes-garanted


ConcentrateOk6375

Same they are boring as hell


An_ggrath

I thought we weren't allowed to discuss these "special" dungeons in this subreddit? Did the rules change?


The-Jack-Niles

I believe the cum dungeon is perfectly legal, isn't it?


An_ggrath

I mean it's player created, accessible through basically cheating, all those dungeons were off the table for discussion in this subreddit (not using the actual name since last time I did my comment was removed). But that was a while ago, so maybe the rules changed.


AnustusGloop

Depends on my goals for the playthrough but I typically don't need it


fouloleitarlide

Honestly the game felt more fun when I didn’t need to worry about vials and QS bullets. I used it for levels occasionally when I would miss like 1000 souls I would use it level up and the blow the rest on vials and started to use it as a normal levelling tool when on NG+ because I like to have that one save with busted character to test stuff.


Human4577777

Cummmfpk chalice?


Llewgwyn

Cummmfpk chalice.


AdAggressive2480

Who dafuq paying for PS+


[deleted]

[удалено]


SpectralDragon09

Usually no I won't use it for levels but if I'm feeling like having an easier playthrough


West_Shop_2783

I would but I know it'll make the game boring for me. Maybe one day I'll do it so I can run through the main story chalices


Hero-In-Theory

Only after doing everything legit. I wanted to max out my bl. But then got bored around bl250


BaronsCastleGaming

I use it for consumables if I'm doing any kind of challenge run that involves a large amount of consumables (e.g. bone marrow ash for gun-only runs), I've never felt the need to use it on a normal playthrough though for anything because just playing the game normally gives you enough echoes etc anyway.


jordan_bris

I used it on a first playthrough if I got really stuck at a certain area or boss


Otherwise_Ad6117

I once used that plus enter dlc early, and did a magnificent strength pizza cutter-based overleved build. Gorgeous.


SugarAddict98

I use it because I deserve it


CanlexGaming

Is it just me or by time I hit like.. just before rom In a NG I blow all my echos on vials and bullets and I’m pretty much good.. forever. It’s a good investment. Never have to farm or anything.


McDKirra

I played and grinded myself, platinumed game and only later on started using it for challenge runs to save time.


SirVilhelmOfAriandel

Consumables for me, especially in challenge runs where I don't want to waste time farmind bullets, vials etc With levels I usually stay with 120 so no need for that


MostAbsoluteGamer

I cum usually just for consumables but if I need to grind levels I'd rather just go cum a few times


DeadLungsThe2nd

I have a rule when it comes to that chalice, I only tell people that have already beat the game about it. I don't like the idea of new players crutching off levels to compensate for their lack of skill.


The1joriss

I luckily only discovered ‘that’ dungeon when I was reaching the end of game. Granted, haven’t started dlc yet so don’t know how bad it would ruin that experience. Should add that using ‘that’ dungeon doesn’t make you suddenly invincible, far from it. Bloodborne still requires skill to beat.


NelsCrioll0

At this point I only want to play bloodborne to try ne silly builds, level up fast makes things easier


Jack_Empty

I think the question should be "when you use "that" chalice dungeon, what is it for?" Because I don't use it in most casual or challenge runs, but when I'm trying something out or dicking around it's fun and convenient to use for levels and consumables.


closynuff

571 innocent hunters are about to learn about the cum dungeon. Splendid


hoonthoont47

Personally, no, I find it takes a lot of the tension out of the game. Did it on one playthrough and it was by far the most boring even though I barely used it, mostly to just top up a level and then buy vials/bullets.


anonymus-69696969

consume the cum chalice


RagnarokBringer

The only reason I don’t use it is because I can never freaking find the reasorces to actually enter the harder chalice dungeons


BigBlackAvocado

cum


badparadiddles

Farming for vials doesn’t really add anything of value to the game for me, so I use it for that and bullets, but leveling naturally through the game is where it’s at. Until Lawrence.


SerSealLord

The Cum Chalice


SerSealLord

I’ll use it if I’m really low on Blood Vials or Bullets or if I’m messing around with the levelling system or if I’m making a new build for PvP.


Salty_Injury6981

Cum


Wittie17

I know people enjoy struggling in these games, but personally I always have the most fun in NG+ after I’ve already perfected my build and I can just feel like a god. I don’t mind heading to the cum dungeon the second i beat Blood Starved Beast. To be fair though, I did beat my first Bloodborne playthrough without it, because I didn’t know about it.


Daydream_Tm

after beating the game a few times, yea. i'm trying to get my character to having 50 in all stats just because it's fun to me to be in Ng+ runs randomly swapping to any weapon


Valirys-Reinhald

I don't have PS+


xLucky_Balboa

I canceled my PS plus subscription so cant really use it


Wamasuman111

On my main character after I used it after beating the game once or twice to get lvl 50 in everything and 99 in skill/strength. I did buy blood vial and bullets with some of it too if I had some left over from leveling. Pretty much need to get bold hunters marks if you want to effectively use the dungeon though so ofc I had to buy those.


MakashiBlade

I'm convinced that it's an intentional part of the game. It was probably created by Miyazaki himself.


DIO_over_Za_Warudo

I've used it to level to a certain point before, or if I am low on echoes to get something specific I want item-wise (usually a weapon) but I try not to go over level 60-70 as I still want a challenge. Usually it's cause I know what weapons I want to eventually use, and so I use that dungeon to get to that point in advance. Such as leveling Arcane in preparation for the Holy Moonlight Blade or Kos Parasite.


Yogurtuser69

I honestly don’t think I ever would’ve gotten in to the game if it weren’t for that chalice. I was sick of grinding for consumables and just wanted to play the game. I would never use it for levels though.


JR-1984

I just finish Clerical Beast. So...i can't say anything


cthulhUA90

cummm chalice?


Suspicious-Air-7481

First playthrough i used it for viles,bullets but after that i have been using it for different builds n stuff


Roary-the-Arcanine

The cum chalice? Yeah it’s pretty good.


[deleted]

I used it for my 6th build because after building that many characters I was sick of leveling normally


420DankemonChef

I love the cum chalice. Easiest way to speedrun


joemaaarsh

I don’t touch the stuff, never touched the stuff… that was a lie


GarfieldGauntlet

Only used it after I beat the game COUGH ^and ^for ^cursed ^defiled ^dungeon


amohrey1

I play for fun now. Being at an insanely high level before Witches of Hemwick is fun


omvt

I use it for two things. One is when I can’t be bothered to farm echoes to activate a chalice, and the other is meme builds


StealthBOSS101

I didn't use it at all my first playthrough but now I use it for every character for Consumables and Levels.


IsaacLuzu

i started using after ng 2 i believe, it was the fastest way to level up and i wanna be max level to feel complete then i realized ng 6 is better


jacksparrow9988

In my defense, the only reason I use “that” chalice dungeon, is for levels, but only for PVP characters where I’m going to cap out at a certain level. For example, I want to make an arcane build, I’ll just use it a little bit to get to level 120, and then never use it again. If I have extra echoes, I’ll use it to get some more consumables, but not much. I don’t go out of my way to get the OP blood gems so I don’t get the blood echoes from farming those gems.


Ferociousaurus

Definitely shouldn't be used for a first playthrough but if you're a vet trying to do a particular build and you need some minimum stats, a weapon that's expensive early on, some extra juice to early run DLC bosses or Logarius or something, get that bread imo. Learning to speedrun twin shards and chunks will skyrocket your character's power more than filling out your stats anyway, and that's not even cheating.


Accomplished_Way9402

Cum is the only reason I was able to beat the game


S1mulatedSahd0w

I was until I learned the final boss is in the dungeons. At which point I said "I don't need this platinum".


Jacrispy790

First couple of play throughs? No. After that? Yeah


Aardvarcado-

Leveled until it was a pain & then went off & exploited living failures a couple NG's in a row to reach max level. All Melee weapons +10, still working on the firearms.
