Is it any good?

i just like rapiers.

 

i've seem so many screenshots with players using hammer, greatsword, cleavers, axes all this stuff. but no pallasch

[Fishy]

There's something I never understood about soul game. The NPC. You go through hell to reach a new boss area, zone etc, but for some reason there's always some kind of weakling in the middle of nowhere waiting for you.  

 

They're surrounded by dragon , lich and vampire, but they seem to be  fine. Sp immersion breaking. It's like ahhhhh yes video game dev teleporting powah! Everyone, but you have some kind of supernatural wormhole teleporting invulnerability powers to make sure the story can progress.

 

Remind me of symphony of the night blonde chick. She just appear in a room after you had to go through an army of dangerous traps and monster. lol.

 

 Princess - Hey hello. I was waiting for you !

Vampire lord '* Look behind him * - Wait ... how did you ?

Princess - Ohhh I sneaked in some kind fo secret passage hihihih !!

Vampire- ...

 

It's not the only game that does this of course. So annoying. So immersion breaking. So video gamey.

 

 

[Althix]

like who for example?

[Eternal Phoenix]

Bloodborne doesn't have that from what I've seen. Alfred and Elienne remain in areas appropriate for their skills.

 

That being said, with how overpowered NPC Hunters are in this game, I imagine they could also solo the game with their huge health bars and high damage output!

 

Now a real gripe I have is with the small selection of weapons and armor that this game has. It really numbers you down to a small amount of possible builds contrary to what the Souls games did. Unfortunate. Otherwise everything else is exactly what I expected from this game: great lore, great bosses, great gameplay and brilliant atmosphere.

 

I've yet to finish the game yet. I have one character at the final boss (exploring Chalice Dungeons) and just begun with a new character a few days ago where I've already found new things involving new dialogue with characters, new methods to deal with said characters and even two new quests. I know I'm going to discover new things in a third playthrough and that's when I'll come back and get involved in a few lore discussions, hopefully having seen more of the game from different perspectives along with the different endings etc... 

 

All I can say now is that the lore is more intriguing than what I found in any of the Souls games with more interpretations you can draw.

And the ones that DO wander outside end up dead most of the time. Most people hide in their homes.

 

I'm at the end as well. I just lost to a club-handed Undead Giant I shouldn't have lost to in the Lower Pthumeru Chalice dungeon. I didn't realize I was so close to a wall. Oh well. I'll get him next time. 

 

Has anyone bought/used the Rosmarinus? I think that's my next purchase. I still have to buy all the weapons at the shop, I keep forgetting they're there and end up spending all my echoes leveling up.

 

I used the one blood rock I found to +10 my Ludwig's Holy Blade rather than my saw cleaver. I'm not usually one for greatswords, but I love that thing. 

 

Mergo's Loft spoilers:

I think my favorite fight of all of them was Micolash, mostly because it was so different. (Also because he gave me his hat.) I actually died the first time because I'd lost track of him and started chasing after one of those scurrying bloodstone chunk carriers. (I know you should never do that, they're ALWAYS there to bait you into a trap.) I saw the note that said "beware of mob" and assumed it meant just one jerk like they usually do. No. They meant an actual MOB OF THINGS.

 

And I "made contact" with the Mother Brain. I stood there for quite some time and finally she handed over a better Moon rune than I had. Then I killed her because of all that frenzy business. There's no need of that.

 

Oh, AND as I was waiting to be summoned into my brother's world (we had passwords set) I ended up in someone else's game as an invader. I don't do PvP because lag and I'm terrible - I can't blame it ALL on lag. I instantly used a silencing blank. But weird.  

[Matieo]

I'm surprised Dominus hasn't posted this yet,



Spoilers btw. It's a fantastically produced video. Looking forward to seeing how he presents the rest of Bloodborne's story.

I just wrapped up NG+ tonight. I managed to save all the NPCs in this playthrough, well, as far as some of them could have been saved... Another thing I did differently was send that ol' beggar to Iosefka's Clinic, and the consequences of that action proved to be pretty remarkable.

Spoiler

A fourth One Third of Umbilical Cord.

Onto NG++ and the final trophy I need for Plat.
 

And the ones that DO wander outside end up dead most of the time. Most people hide in their homes.

Aye. Only exception I've seen thus far is the crying nun in Hypogeon Gaol, though she hides in an area sans monsters.
 

Has anyone bought/used the Rosmarinus? I think that's my next purchase. I still have to buy all the weapons at the shop, I keep forgetting they're there and end up spending all my echoes leveling up.

I tried it out, and it's a bit like the Flamesprayer. Not to any great effect as my Arcane is cack, but then again so is my Bloodtinge... try it out and tell us if it's any good against bosses or high level mobs. I've heard it's a great early game strategy against Cleric Beast.
 

I used the one blood rock I found to +10 my Ludwig's Holy Blade rather than my saw cleaver. I'm not usually one for greatswords, but I love that thing.

Good choice. Has an A in Strength if I recall, like the Kirkhammer, which is what I started using 3/4 into the game after realizing the Saw Cleaver simply isn't strong enough without elemental blood gems.

[Dominus]

Thanks for the video. Bosses themselves are getting more backstory to them, it's certainly an upgrade I'm happy with.

Another thing I did differently was send that ol' beggar to Iosefka's Clinic, and the consequences of that action proved to be pretty remarkable.

Yeah, that was... yeah. GameInformer's Podcast seemed to allude to this theory:

Spoiler

The Great Ones are using specific people as surrogates to multiply their own kind. The Hunt is merely a facade to veil their own intentions. The "Secret" Ending being the worst possible ending, as you've essentially joined their own, though Moon Presence bites the dust in the process.

Never been to Hypogeon Gaol, I'll work on that.

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

I remember a thread on hatechan that really goes into depth with Bloodborne lore speculation. Could post it here (in spoilers ofc) if you all like.

Wouldn't be surprised if parts of it end up in VaatiVidya videos in the future. Considering his history as a /v/irgin, he probably lurks and contributes to most of the Bloodborne threads on 4/8chan.

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

Alright, got it.

BLOODBORNE LORE
BY !!CUr7PEvvYw
06 APR 2015

>FORWARD

I wrote and published every bit of this content on 8chan in order to explain the lore surrounding Bloodborne. This was done as a labor of love, and I am not affiliated with any YouTube channels. Only whores and prostitutes would dare to claim the fame.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of Bloodborne, purposefully injected ambiguity into the story to make it compelling. Holes in the plot exist, but I have done my best to connect the dots as precisely as possible. The result is what you see here.

>PART I

Before there was Yharnam, there was Pthumeria. Pthumeria was a vast underground civilization whose people lived with beings of immense power. The Pthumerians referred to these beings as the Great Ones.

The Great Ones imparted cosmic wisdom to the Pthumerians through a medium. The medium was Queen Yharnam, the ruler of Pthumeria. Queen Yharnam was even selected for impregnation by the Great Ones.

A scholar named Willem discovered Pthumeria. He was so enthralled by it that he established Byrgenwerth, which eventually blossomed into a city. This city was named Yharnam in honor of the queen of Pthumeria.

Willem's inner circle dealt directly with Queen Yharnam and the Great Ones. Their research led them to believe that blood was the key to ascension. This inner circle became known as the Choir, and its members dabbled in blood ministration.

News spread far and wide about a city that discovered a cure for nearly every ailment known to humanity. People began flocking to Yharnam in droves to receive this miracle cure in the form of blood ministrations. For a time, all was good.

Nevertheless, Willem was not satisfied. He longed for ascension, so he tested "the old blood" on a mundane spider to determine if the ministration was a catalyst for godhood. The result was Rom, an entirely new Great One, with whom Willem tried to commune.

Willem eventually used "the old blood" on himself to gain "eyes on the inside" and ascend. He failed and went blind. Around this point in time, the Pthumerians retreated into the depths of the world and their civilization was lost forever.

Mensis, a colleague of Willem, became obsessed with the Great Ones. Attempting to succeed where Willem failed, he established Yahar'gul and the School of Mensis. This led him to the Amygdala and all the nightmares it had to offer.

>PART II

The Choir continued its work in Willem's stead, but at some point, "the old blood" got out of Byrgenwerth and into Yharnam. This was the start of the plague. As people began turning into beasts, the Choir established the Healing Church to deal with hospitalization.

Once the plague got out of hand , the Healing Church burned Old Yharnam to the ground and sealed off access to the Forbidden Woods. Despite these precautions, the plague spread. The Choir also continued its research by experimenting on live subjects in clinics.

Hearing of "the old blood," the rich nobles of Cainhurst sought to follow in the footsteps of Willem and breed a new type of human. The Healing Church sent Logarius to put a stop to this. He and his executioners slaughtered the nobles, leaving no one alive.

Around this time, a man named Gehrman began crafting unique weapons and hunting the beasts of Yharnam as a public service. The Healing Church recognized his potential and recruited him. This was the beginning of hunting culture in Yharnam.

As hunting became more popular, hunters began imbibing in "the old blood" to compete with the beasts. This practice was risky, and hunters often succumbed to the plague as a result. This led to hunters like Eileen pledging to put their brethren out of their misery.

With Yharnam in chaos, the Great Ones bathed in blood, but they needed successors. Mergo, the child they had with Queen Yharnam, was stillborn. This failure drove them to hatch a plan to impregnate every female in Yharnam during the Red Moon.

This is where you enter the story. You traveled to Yharnam after hearing of its miraculous cures for the ailments of humanity, and you want to experience them for yourself. The last few survivors oblige your request, and you accept blood ministration in the clinic.

When you wake up, Yharnam is at the apex of its destruction. The city exists only to fuel the Great Ones, and your presence there locks you in an endless cycle of bloodshed. From this point, you go forth to determine what you can do about it.

>PART III

Your first death propels you into a dream world that is controlled by the Great Ones. Gehrman, the most adept hunter, was chosen by the Great Ones to be the proprietor of this world. He sends you on your quest for blood, thereby satisfying his masters.

Once you reach Byrgenwerth and face Rom, your quest takes a turn for the worse. As the youngest Great One, Rom is using his insight to keep the Red Moon at bay. By killing him, you accelerate the cycle that the older Great Ones have put in motion.

At this point, every woman with "the old blood" in Yharnam is impregnated. If you manage to terminate these pregnancies and consume the subsequent umbilical cords, you glean the cosmic wisdom of the Great Ones. This begins your metamorphosis.

After finding Mensis, you enter the nightmare that he wrought by communing with the Amygdala. In this nightmare, you learn of the relationship between Queen Yharnam, the Great Ones, and Mergo. These revelations are critical.

Once you kill Mergo's Wet Nurse, Gerhman realizes that you know too much. The time has come for a more oblivious hunter to keep the Great Ones bathing in blood. It is for this reason that he offers to take your life and end your time in the dream world.

If you accept, Gerhman thanks you for playing along as he cuts off your head. This eliminates your insight, and you wake up in Yharnam after the Red Moon passes. The cycle set in motion by the Great Ones has not been stopped, but your role in it is over.

If you decline and kill Gerhman without the cosmic knowledge imbued by the umbilical cords , the Great One known as Oedon sends his avatar to ensure that the cycle is not broken. You have no choice but to obey. Gerhman's job is now yours.

If you kill Gerhman after consuming the umbilical cords, you have too much insight to be coerced by Oedon. A struggle ensues, and you consume the remaining power of Oedon's avatar. As you continue to evolve, the cycle is now yours to control.

>THINGS BETWIXT

This is the crux of Bloodborne. Since the Great Ones haven't figured out how to have children, they're desperately trying to impregnate new hosts in a bid to live forever. Yharnam is their final gambit, and as long as they can keep attracting new blood to the city, they can keep trying to reproduce until they get it right.

When you wake up after Gerhman takes your life, your insight has been all but eliminated. You no longer see the influence of the Great Ones, so you no longer have a reason to stay and fight. This is good for you, but bad for the legions of people who have fallen and will continue to be attracted by the Great Ones.

Everything you experience is tangible except for the Hunter's Dream and Nightmare of Mensis. The Nightmare of Mensis is a product of interactions with the Amygdala, and the Hunter's Dream was created by Oedon, whose avatar is the Moon Presence. The power of the Great Ones lies in their ability to manipulate both tangible and intangible realms.

The Choir came before the Healing Church. Informally, they were known as Willem's inner circle. After the plague, they established the Healing Church and adopted the name of the Choir to add a religious angle to their dealings with the Great Ones. The Choir also abducted kids and experimented on them in an attempt to get closer to the Daughter of the Cosmos and her celestial compatriots.

The aliens are a stretch. From a narrative standpoint, Miyazaki shoehorned the aliens into the game to make it that much more peculiar and mysterious. The texts suggest that members of the Healing Church were butchering orphans and turning them into things that would please the Daughter of the Cosmos, which explains why every poor sap that you send to Iosefka's clinic becomes a host body.

The umbilical cord in Gerhman's physical workshop underneath the Cathedral Ward may explain the purpose of the doll. The doll was made long ago by Gehrman for a reason. Perhaps he intended to see if it would be impregnated during one of Yharnam's red moons, or perhaps it is a tribute to a forgotten wife that may have miscarried a child during one of those red moons.

Logarius was tasked by the Healing Church to cleanse Cainhurst. After he and his executioners killed everyone except for the King and Queen, Logarius volunteered to stay behind and ensure that nothing would reemerge from Cainhurst. This is how he earned the title of Martyr, and this is why you find him guarding the entrance to the throne room.

It is unclear whether Logarius did this for selfless reasons, but the fact remains that he did not kill the Queen. Instead, he killed the King, donned the Crown of Illusions, and kept the Queen prisoner. There is a fair chance that Logarius was seduced by the power of the Crown and compelled to rule Cainhurst as a conqueror.

Here is the doll's prayer: "Oh, flora of the moon, of the dream. Oh, little ones. Oh, fleeting will of the ancients. Let the hunter be safe. Let him find comfort, and let this dream, his captor, foretell a pleasant awakening. [May it] be one day, a fond, distant memory." She recites this after your encounter with The One Reborn.

When she mentions the "flora of the moon" and the "fleeting will of the ancients," she's calling to Oedon and the rest of the Great Ones. This is more proof that a cycle has been established by the Great Ones, and you are part of it. It is also important to note how she does not wish for the plague to be vanquished, but rather that you will be able to forget what has happened.

>AFTERWARD

Thanks to 8chan's /svidya/ and /v/ for reading and commenting on my interpretation of the lore. The discussions we had allowed me to produce plot explanations that are probably as close to the official story as we can get without having Miyazaki fill in the blanks. I hope you enjoyed reading this, and I hope it will foster hearty dialogue within the community.

[Matieo]

So as I was waiting for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze to finish downloading on my Wii U (be sure to get it before June 30th, by the way, if you're a Club Nintendo member) I figured why not start NG++ cause I got nothing better to do. 2 hours later...



I became acquainted with how quick the game can be finished in my last playthrough, noticing that *counts in head* it only takes 7 boss encounters to get to the end. And it's astonishing how much you MISS by doing so. I didn't face Cleric Beast, and I didn't go anywhere near the Frontier, or Old Yharnam, and I was in the Forbidden Woods for about 10 minutes. It's thrilling, really, to try and finish a game like Bloodborne so quick, just to see if you can do it... but, man, how shallow the game can feel also. In 2 hours, most games just can't relate. Maybe Resident Evil, and maybe Metal Gear Solid, though no one realistically spends 30 to 40+ hours on a single playthrough in any of those franchises' titles. You know I'm not sure what my point is. Could just be the euphoria of 100%.

In any case! the 3 endings. I approve of each one. They're nuanced enough not to feel like Red, Blue, or Green. And I feel each one references, or rather alludes to at least one of the major themes of Bloodborne, so as to be ambiguous but not to the point where people argue over which ending is the 'correct' one. That's my stance right now, anyway, though, I dunno, maybe I'm wrong hahaha and Miyazaki's all, like, nah, man, third one's totally canon. For the record I went with the first ending last, and at least aesthetically that one was my favourite.
 

Never been to Hypogeon Gaol, I'll work on that.

I probably never would've been either had my buddy not dared me to get rekt by one of those boogeymen on purpose.

Nice, gonna give that a read in a bit.

[AventuroLegendary]

Yahtzee just did a Zero Punctuation on it. 

 

Got me thinking. Since I don't have a PS4, should I get around to buying DS2? I've had a fetish for "dudes in armor" since Castlevania.

[Althix]

yeah i bought DkS2 redo in the end. it;s a better game than dx9 version.

 

but to be honest BB is just superior in every way possible.

 

p.s. BB is much more dynamic, faster and aggressive game.

[Dobby]

So I started Bloodborne today. Took forever in the CC, got killed twice by the first werewolf, and now I'm already stuck not knowing where to go lol. None of the doors open and I pulled a lever that I don't even know what it did. 

[Dominus]

:|

They'd made the first Yharnam spot like a bloody labyrinth for some reason. If you're at the Central Yharnam lamp and the door to the left is still closed, I'd suggest either opening that up first or walking to the other side of that giant-ass bridge, the one with the werewolves - just run past them.

If you need to open the door, the hint I'll give is find a bunch of cages full of dogs, and head down further towards a staircase. If you haven't found that either, I think the bridge can lead you there.

Worst case scenario, check a speed run of the game to see how to get there.

Dude, just keep killing stuff until you feel comfortable killing everything. If your stuck, try collecting some blood echoes first, cash 'em in at the Hunter's Dream, and then have another go at exploring further 

[Dobby]

I'll have another go at it later tonight. I think that by the time I was done creating my character, I was already exhausted and went by areas real quickly and got frustrated when none of the gates would open. I find this game fun though and can't wait until I actually start doing things in it.

[Dobby]

I can't kill the Cleric Beast 

 

This game is too hard for me. But I'll keep on trying. 

[TheChris92]

Forgive me Father Gascoigne, for I have sinned.

 

I think you're *beeeeeeeeeeeeeep* on a..*beeeeeeep* and whistle for a baboon

Straight from GI: Bloodborne Sells 1 Million Copies

We're also getting a patch for loading times this month, which means you won't have to stare at the bloody title all the time.

I can't kill the Cleric Beast This game is too hard for me. But I'll keep on trying.

Don't feel too discouraged. Back in the day, I must've spent 2-3 hours trying to beat Taurus Demon from Dark Souls - a relatively easy early boss compared to the rest. When in doubt, try the video walkthrough way up at the top. I may try making some boss walkthrough videos as well, if it helps.

[Dobby]

I did end up defeating him in the end I haven't played since then so I still have lots more to do.

Get on my level. Have you ever defeated 7-8 bosses in Soul-esque games?

 

I'd gotten momentary Parkinson after defeating some of them. The stress was so damn high!

I'd gotten momentary Parkinson after defeating some of them. The stress was so damn high!

 

Noooo. I never played those games. That's why this game terrifies me.
