วีดีโอ

Hidetaka Miyazaki is known for the preponderant horror at the base of his worldbuilding. And this DLC is considered to be the apotheosis. "Beware, secrets are secrets for a reason." Ludwig is my favourite Bloodborne boss. It took me hours but I never felt bored. The first phase was so fun play, and so satisfying, when I got under him to stun him repeatedly by transformation attacks with my saw cleaver. It makes me feel so euphoric, also just watching others playing it. Here you need to dodge mostly forward, and attack him from below. No retreat is needed. Except the charge which must be dodged sideways. Then the brutal aggressivity of the first phase is followed by a dance in which he fights elegantly like a knight. Also the music becomes a waltz, to emphasize that now you must dance with him. The problem of farming is completely solved only when getting deep into the chalice dungeons. This solves what I think are the two main mistakes of this game: limited resources in your storage (except those thrilling pebbles); and character classes: I'm not completely sure, but I feel like there is no need to have classes like in Dark Souls. It would be nice if you could use all the items which pick your interest during game, without having to choose how to play in advance when leveling up, like in an RPG. They learnt this only when doing Sekiro. At least chalice dungeons solve this completely, although they have a quite repetitive design which often prevents from carrying on at the beginning (third mistake).

Ebrietas is designed to look like a dragon from behind. Then when you attack her she turns and she is a Lovecraftian Great One. You find her crying on the corpse of Rom. The choir was hiding them there and using them for their rituals. That's the true face of the Healing Church. Putting the descriptions together: you found the rest of the School of Mensis, now a "rotten brain", but still a "legitimate Great One". Great Ones talk with sounds, transcribed by Caryll with runes. This one said "Moon", as if they were still looking for it. The school of Mensis was trying to have audience with the Moon, to elevate their minds, giving her a child in return. Instead of the Moon, they were answered by the Wet Nurse, who kept the child for herself, and did elevate the school to a Great One, though a "rotten brain", not exactly what Mensis wanted to achieve. By exploring the lecture building you can see that the original school of Byrgenwerth was more into snails and molluscs. The sea in this game represents the highest stratum of the cosmos.

I also found Micolash's boss fight funny, how he just runs away, the music, and the way he makes fun of you during the whole fight. But I would have appreciated if there was a more puzzling way to trap him, rather than randomly chase him until he gets into the right room. Micolash's tentacle is itself a parry, so you were... trying to parry a parry 😂. The other move instead is the reason why he is often hated. Whether that spell hits you, and with how many rays, is basically random, no matter how you dodge. So the trick, and the only safe thing to do, was to interrupt him from casting, attacking instead of trying to avoid. When you kill her baby, Arianna dies too, I don't know why. I don't think there is a lore reason, maybe fromsoftware didn't feel like giving her a reaction or an extra dialogue. A detail which is easy to miss is that, despite being identical, each umbelical cord has a different description. Your friend Alfred talked to you about his hatred for the Vilebloods, but he didn't know how to enter the castle. Instead you went there with a misterious invitation, defeated Master Logarius, and even talked to the undead queen. That's quite funny. 02:05:12 That "NPC" is the same lady with the bloodied belly who appeared in the cutscene after killing Rom. The game places her there only to remind you whose baby you're looking for, killing her is really not important, don't fret about it. Not really a boss music, but I find it a nice lullaby.

Mensis in Latin means month, which in Japanese is written with the kanji of the moon. You found a note "Madmen toil surreptitiosly in rutuals to beckon the moon. Uncover their secrets." And you find many things of the School of Mensis in Yahargul. Meaning they were in fact doing some rituals there, maybe trying to "make contact with the eldritch wisdom". Well, now you are in their nightmare. Enjoy their knowledge. What a fight you did with Amygdala, I could feel all the stress. I remember it being a nightmare of a boss fight in my first playthrough.

As you might have guessed from the descriptions that lecture building floating in the nightmare is the school of Byrgenwerth. The missing piece of the building from which you reached the Moonside Lake. You killed Rom who was hiding the rituals, now everyone can see the red moon. This is always misinterpreted: time did change, but the red moon was always there, like the Amygdalas. Now you can also see the Amygdala even at low insight. It's not random how you get insight: seeing a boss, or a new area, means getting in touch with the arcane knowledge. You may obtain insight in various ways, for instance you did it by simply meeting Master Willem. 01:40:55 Sadly most of weapons and objects in soul games don't have a cursor for aiming, so this is what we do: use the monocular until you have your target at the center of the screen. Then take your weapon without moving the camera, and shoot. The bullet gets shot exactly in the direction you were aiming at with the monocular. I did it a lot, with Bone Marrow Ash in my Pistol, it's like having a sniper rifle. It works also with every throwable items. Obviously they follow a parabola like in real life, so make sure to aim higher with slower objects 😉. Bloodborne is so dense, despite being small, that it is very difficult to speedrun without knowing the areas. You were successful in the Forbidden Woods, but areas become more difficult as you progress. That is why you are having problems and getting lost. Those areas look much nicer when you take your time. But congratulations for trying speedrun in a first playthrough, that was not bad 😂. For the Caryll Runes, you got the Rune Workshop Tool after the Witch of Hemwick. The description can be quite cryptic, it talks about impressing runes in one's mind. You might want to bring it to the Memory Altar at the Hunter Dream, and see what you can do with it.

01:02:30 I like how you go to the forbidden woods expecting to hunt some beasts, then you find those... "aliens"? Like, what the hell is going on here? Then you summon Damian who casts similar spells, and then you suddenly get to that strange "spider" in that strange arena. Wasn't it supposed to be a game about hunting beasts? Even Gehrman just said "go hunt some beasts", no one ever told you to progress the game. 02:00:30 He's difficoult to recognize, but, as the chat was saying, that guy on the chair is Master Willem himself. You have seen him in the cutscene after Amelia.

Hi

Amelia is a perfect example of how being aggressive can make your prey unable to react. Each limb is breakable (only once until she heals). For each broken limb she gets stunned and you can do a visceral attack. She's a tutorial for how boss fights Vs beasts work. Usually she would run to a corner and pray. But you were so cruel with her, not giving her time to pray. The transformation attack (pressing L1 after R1, or after a dash/roll) is very effective in breaking limbs. It deals more damage and can easily stagger enemies. Keeping in mind that it is slower than spamming R1 with the saw.

Amelia 10/10 would bang anytime

Chalice dungeons received mixed criticism. It's fromsoftware trying to do procedural stuff, but the game had to come out and their development was rushed, so they copied and pasted everything to conclude them. They're very good of you need to farm (not much at the beginning, but especially as depth increases), and to try out your weapons on large groups of enemies. 46:21 That is something they never fixed. That door should have been a shortcut to the bridge of the Cleric Beast, with perfect geometric precision. But the ps4 couldn't load the map fast enough, so they decided to leave it locked. Maybe they forgot to remove it completely. There's no key, it will stay locked for the rest of the game. (All the other locked doors instead are ok.) I hate those crows.

Your character has indeed an abnormally long left arm. It's the arm in which you got the transfusion. With the foreign set on (the starting clothes) you can still see the drip in your arm. Inserting blood gems is reversible, you can remove them at anytime without losing them. The design of the blood-starved beast is quite interesting. It has the skin completely tore from its body, looking like a mantle. You have found a beast like that hanging in the big church where you found the ritual blood. As Alfred said, the healing church venerates blood. Just to not make confusion, Old Yahrnam, which you reached from a secret passage, is the abandoned town Gehrman told you about. Alfred mentioned Byrgenwerth, which is another place, from which the church has origin. And then says that scholars from Byrgenwerth discovered the tombs of the gods (not necessarily in Old Yahrnam).

One tips I can give you is to enjoy each boss basically learning they attacks in all souls games basically

nice work! enjoyed the stream

U look so sweet😍

I like how Father Gascoigne looks designed to force you into the aggressive Bloodborne play style, with the headstones blocking you if you try to get away. The game reminds you that you are also a hunter like him, you can fight like him, no need to stay away. Interrupt his attacks, dodge and hit him, parry and counterattack, take back your blood, but don't stop attacking, this is how hunters fight. This is different from Dark Souls, where you have to learn when it's your turn to attack. In Bloodborne you must make it your turn. Here you are the hunter, not the prey. In fact if you are aggressive enough it's the boss who stops attacking and tries to get away. The resources situation instead is really bad designed, at least at the beginning of the game. This was a problem of Demon's Souls which they solved in Dark Souls with refillable flasks, then here they removed them, I really don't get it.

Parries are the only way to play

kylaful, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!

You can read object descriptions in the menu by pressing x. Fromsoftware games speak by the objects and the surroundings, but this one especially is designed to make you feel confused even if you try to understand. You are constantly overwhelmed by new information. Paleblood, the transfusion, the hunt, the beasts, the dream, Gehrman, the doll, Yahrnam folks hate you, madman's knowledge, and it all keeps accumulating. But Miyazaki's worlds are always well built, and with the right "insight" they make perfect sense. Not everyone likes reading descriptions of the stuff they pick up, but for me playing this game trying to understand its world was one of the most unique gaming experiences I had. Bloodborne is so awesome in giving this.

Kill him!

What hat was that? Never seen my Soulsborne characters react to costume change lol let alone laugh!
