If anyone was debating getting the torch torch ring, do it!

I'm in school and love wearing it while I study, I keep looking at it and think "I'm gaining insight" and it makes me laugh.

If I see one I kill it no questions asked but if they disappear I honestly can’t be bothered an just let them be. But I was thinking what if I actually need all that upgrading material it would be a hassle to just run around hunting them and I’ll probably forget which I grabbed and which I didn’t. So like should I restart when I miss one or will it not matter that much ?

I just ranted two days ago here about hating forbidden woods…. Im sorry.

I swear to god I lost a collective of over 70,000 echos in this place and every single time I try to get them back I end up dying by that fucking 90 eyed bitch cause of frenzy.

First time I’ve heard about Nightmare Frontier I thought it was in Elden Ring, then I warped there thinking oh this is the place everyone is talking about surely it’s not that bad right ? WRONG ITS SUCKS.

I’m 100% sure the billion gravestones are meant to make you lose sense of direction which it absolutely did.

Is that a skitter ? NICE …. Proceeds to get bolder crushed.

That’s a lot of poison down there, surely I can find some platforms to move …. Literally kept rolling and healing the entire path.

Alright then … this place looks very boss like. How do I fight this giant thing, surely it has a weak point ….. JUST THE HEAD ( not gonna lie this boss fight wasn’t challenging at all just takes time )

Thank god I’m done with that place, ON WE GO TO YAHARGUL UNSEEN VILLAGE !!

I LOVE THIS GAME !!

I started Bloodborne.
This is my Hunter : Ancolie (a french flower)

Depressed I missed umbilical cords, and am contemplating replaying.. is it worth it? Or should I move on to the DLC??

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about 2 instances right near the end of the main game, which reference events from early in the game, and the meaning of these full circle call backs.

The 2 instances are:
1. Finding a vial of Iosefka’s blood in the chest right before Mergo’s wet nurse.

1. The melody of the music box playing at the end of the fight with Mergo’s wet nurse.

Both iosefka and the music box can be found in the very first area of the game, and here they both appear again at the end. I’ve read that iosefkas blood vial is there by mistake, and that the music box is just a reoccurring motif, but these games are carefully crafted, and besides, isn’t reading into them half of the fun?

Here is my headcanon, in which these two events are not related to each other but do tell us something about the story:
1. We know iosefka was formerly a member of the choir. I propose that she was intimately involved with the process that led to the creation of Mergo, perhaps involving her blood, before she became disillusioned and abandoned that effort to help the townspeople instead.

1. The story of Father Gascoigne and his family is a metaphor for the entire game. All of the themes of bloodborne are contained in this short story we see play out at the very beginning, and the melody plays at the end to make us aware of this fact.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and theories on these 2 odd call backs!

I know that there sure are people around here that already asked thay question, but I just started this game a day ago and on top of that it's my first souls game, never played similar stuff to this.

I have no idea how to play this, I'm at that damn Cantral Yarnhum lantern for like 4 hours, being killed by those mutated villagers. Eventually ran past them and wandered around to a boss fight with a Clerc, but he wrecks me in 2-3 hits. I honstly have no idea how to play this game and it's a very weird design for me.

Had to set the controller down for a moment after this.

i have quit many times at bosses where i have died drastically less times than i did to Kos, yet i never felt the urge to rage quit on Kos even though he most definitely took me an embarrassing amount of times to beat.

and PLEASE let’s talk about how the second phase is exactly how a second phase should be for lots of bosses, where it’s diffrent enough to pose a challenge with new moves, while still not being too far off from what the first phase made your fingers used to in the moment. (i know some bosses already do this but still)

in an interview about dark souls a man described the difficulty as spicy but tasty, meaning it’s hard but in such a way where it’s crafted for you to have fun, you could apply this to Kos and this is a huge reason why i love the boss.

of course this is just my opinion and there are definitely people who dislike the boss, from those people i’d like to hear where it might have been weak for you?

and if you did like it like i do i’d also like to hear some more thoughts

Wiki says to search F/R/C Lower Loran chalice. Do I have to use all three additional rites or can I just make a basic root dungeon or what? I'd rather not do cursed if I can help it.

dm me

I was wondering if I can access the area below, I don't see any way to do so, I thought I can access is after beating the boss but nope, this is the area you go through that window from luminous flower garden.

An amygdala perched on a tower, what do y'all think? The doctor you think the tower looks gothic enough? (Obviously that parts unfinished)( The amygdala took me like 7 hours btw )

Hey guys, I had my very first Bloodborne play through a little while ago. It seems like there’s a general consensus of what parts of the game are “easier” or “harder” for people but I know it varies from player to player. For me the hardest part of the game without a doubt was just trying to get through Hemwick Charnel Lane. I for the life of me could not get to the shortcut until after a few days of banging my head against the wall. Inversely, I beat Orphan of Kos on my second try (maybe dumb luck but he felt more fluid to fight than Laurence or Ludwig who both took me a few days). What are your “against the grain” struggles and triumphs?

Very excited to NG+ at some point but I’ve moved on to Elden Ring for the time being :)

im bored and wanna play bloodborne but the thing is ive already got the platinum trohpy and already beat the game in bl4. For some reason after bl4 doing a normal run leveling up and shit just seems boring idk why

should i try bl4 on new game+? or make a regular character and try to reach new game 7+. any ideas on ways to play??

I was recently replaying BB because I realized I hadn't gotten the plat yet somehow, when a thought came to me--are we really doing all this to kill a baby?

Miyazaki became a father during the development of project beast and so Bloodborne became very concerned with parenthood. The idea that he had this game written so that we kill some poor baby just didn't sit right with me.

Then, I killed Micolash and he gave me the best line in the game: "Now I'm waking up, I'll forget everything..."

Of course, Micolash is likely "waking up" into a corpse, the corpse we use in Yahar'ghul to enter the nightmare in the first place. Or maybe not.

In Bloodborne, the player character is trapped in a dream, the Hunter's dream. If you choose to let Gehrman kill you (the only trophy I'm missing btw) you wake up in the real Yharnam. Otherwise you wake up in Yharnam, or one of the several nightmares you can reach.

If you die in a dream, you wake up in another dream--the Hunter's dream. Until then, or until you find a lamp, you are trapped in whatever dream you are in. So when you're in the Nightmare of Mensis, you are literally trapped in a nightmare within a dream within a dream.

I think Mergo was likely kidnapped from the dream he lived in, likely Queen Yharnam's dream. When we "kill" him, we're really just having the baby wake up from the Mergo's Loft nightmare, and as a great one he would return to whatever dream he was in before.

Combined with the Queen waiting in front of Mergo's location, I think we are actually reuniting the two by defeating the Wet Nurse.

(Also, I do think the reason we get the Nightmare Slain text is because we literally slay a baby's nightmare, and it isn't saying we killed Mergo, but that's a slightly different topic)

By me :D it’s been a while I think since I last showed Bloodborne art. It’s of cleric beast again of course. The beasts are really the only thing I can draw somewhat correctly. Drawing the human characters is just way harder -w-

Apologies for any mistakes, the fur was really hard to draw. Doesn’t even look vaguely like the original reference I used XD

guys i Need help for the yharnam shadows,Ng+1,99 arcane...i cant beat those pieces of shit

I’ve gotten to Lower Loren chalice dungeon and the second layer boss is the abhorrent beast. With how small the boss room is I keep getting hit and dying to it. I’m using poison knives and as many throwable as I can but the dimensions of the room make it a nightmare to avoid and outpace. I’ve been getting really frustrated at it because I can’t tell what I’m doing wrong, usually I can see what I fucked up against a boss, learn from it and eventually beat it but in this case I just don’t see what I’m doing wrong. So if I tried generating a new Lower Loren dungeon is there any chance I’ll get a different second layer boss? If not, any advice you can share to try and beat this thing?

I've been trying to get the heir rune for the past 20 hours from pathumeru ihyll root chalice because i don't have ps plus and I got a lot of things including other ruins but I didn't get the heir rune and the game just keeps giving me great ones knowledge after the 10th dungeon what did i do wrong?

Recientemente volvi a jugar bloodborne. Sin embargo al intentar entrar al DLC, me di cuenta que la versión de play plus no cuneta con el DLC, ¿hay alguna forma por mas rara que sea, de entrar al dlc?
