PS4 game, but yeah. It's locked at those framerates, doesn't matter how strong the hardware is. It's why people want a rerelease.

I remember booting up Prey on PS5 excited to replay it, but when I saw it was locked at 30 I just straight up uninstalled it.

Crazy that Bloodborne emulation is close to becoming the optimal way to play it. Might already be.

I've seen people say emulation averages two hard crashes per hour, but is good when not crashing. Not sure how long it'll take for that to get fixed.

Ok it took all 20 of my potions and like 8 attempts but I beat Father Gascoigne. I think I'm gimping myself because I wanted to do an arcane build (since I never did one in elden ring I which is my only other souls game) but I still don't have any arcane weapons. Hopefully I find one soon

Yeahhh that might not be the best choice for a first playthrough, Arcane isn't the same in Bloodborne. It's essentially a magic stat, and there's only about two weapons that naturally benefit from it. Although it will make hunter tools effective if those appeal to you.

Otherwise I would recommend going more with Skill. Fast weapons are helpful for the hectic combat, plus it increases the damage of your viscerals.

Arcane is very fun in Bloodborne but it's not exactly first run material lol. You'll be starving for anything of note for most of the game. It's more of a "I know the optimization of this game front to back and consistently beat it in 9-12 hours" kind of stat.

Alternatively use the cum dungeon to just get a bunch of blood echoes and use it all to stock up on blood vials because fuck that shit

There's a Chalice Dungeon that starts with CUM where if you just stand in a spot near the beginning of it the boss dies offscreen and you get something like 80k-ish blood echoes

I had fun with some of the Hunter Tools so I don't think 20 Arcane hurts you or anything other than maybe putting you in a temporary hole early game since your STR/Skill/HP might be lower than they otherwise would be if you diverted it there and built the Arcane up more slowly over time.

I gravitated towards the skill weapons myself, ton of fun. If I ever get through enough of my backlog (lol. lmao.) I'd love to replay with STR weapons for a different feel.

Best thing to do honestly is get your hands on a firegem you can slot into a weapon to make it scale partially with Arcane. I've never gone that route personally, though, so someone else may have an idea of the fastest way to do that.

It's a quality build weapon that has benefits from strength, skill, and Arcane. I wouldn't call it an "Arcane" weapon, though. Until you get much later in the game, thee won't be a true arcane weapon other than your guns or hunters tools.

Something to note is the Arcane scaling on any weapon will not increase physical damage at all. So in the case of the Saw Spear, yes it does have a D in Arcane scaling, but it will gain nothing from that unless you slot in a Fire/Bolt/Arcane gem to the weapon. Which you have no access to until you beat a certain boss a little ways in.

So basically your Arcane stat is almost entirely useless right now, sorry... I suggest focusing on health and skill from now on. That 20 Arcane will still help later on in the game at least.

^ what they said

Your vials heal a flat% amount, not a flat # amount like in Ring. So upgrading your hp is doubly effective.

The actual guns, at least the ones you have now, aren't meant for damage. They exist to get the riposte.

I just got a hunter's torch in old yarnham. It says it has B scaling with Arcane. Is it actually useful? I'm guessing not because it's a torch but hey it's something

Well it's doing like 100 to these enemies at the start of old yarnham. I'm not sure if they're just weak to fire or something but that's as much as my charge R2 attack is doing with the saw blade and way faster so it seems pretty good for now

Yes beasts are weak to fire, naturally. Serrated damage also does extra damage to them, which you get with the Saw Cleaver/Spear, although the Spear has the benefit in both forms.

Also don't sleep on the transform attacks, they do a lot of damage, you can get off a full R1-L1-L1 combo in quite a few situations with the Saw Spear and it melts HP. Charge attacks can open up enemies for backstabs when you get the chance but otherwise not as useful here as in Elden Ring.

This game goes for a quality over quantity approach to weapons, so you won't be finding a whole lot of them. Granted most are two in one, but you could stick with the Saw Spear for the whole game and it can easily carry you through.

I'm assuming this watchdog of the old lords boss in this chalice dungeon is immune to fire, in which case I have a problem because my only weapons are fire weapons. Might have to shelve this boss for later lol. I just beat Vicar Amelia, does anyone know when I can start getting other types of arcane weapons

Nothing is ever completely immune to a damage type in these games. But it's definitely highly resistant, though less ridiculously resistant as say slimes in DS are to physical.

Insight makes some superficial visual changes to the enemies, but not to environments.

Defeating certain milestone bosses is what impacts the environments.

Think of arcane this way - any weapon that deals greater than 0 non- physical damage will scale with arcane. Your torch comes with non physical damage, so it works with arcane.

Every right hand weapon except for torches can have blood gems slotted into it. Some blood gems add non physical damage. Once you do this, the non physical damage added will begin to incorporate the arcane scaling listed on the weapon.

Your question can gave two answers. If you keep exploring the chalice dungeons, you will encounter a non physical blood gem at some point. I don't remember exactly where, but I'm pretty sure there's a fire one somewhere by the end of the second tier.

Alternatively, you can find a weapon that deals non physical damage. One of these is available to you after you get killed by one of the tall guys with bags.

Quick follow up note- some blood gems are guaranteed finds, others are random loot drops. The best of them are random drops deep in the chalice dungeons, but these are overkill for base game until you're at least at ng+.

It's a step up for sure, but it's good parry practice. And the weapon there has innate bolt.

I don't remember if bloodborne consumables scale off of arcane. There are some tools that you can pick up (bloodborne's version of spells) in the areas that you have access to next, and they mostly scale off of arcane.
