I absolutely loved playing this and I'm mad excited for Elden Ring next week. I hope everyone enjoys the playthrough of Bloodborne, myself and my editor Cloé have worked hard on them!

For context on the ending and the doll holding the Hunter Slug; By eating the three parts of the umbilical cord, Jim basically gained the power of a Great One, preventing The Moon Presence from turning Jim into the new caretaker of the Dream now that Gehrman is dead. After killing the Presence, Jim fills the new power vacuum by becoming a Great One himself as the new God of the Moon and ruler of the Hunter's Dream, although he is effectively an infant god, who is going to be raised by the Doll of Maria. The Moon Presence was the one perpetuating the hunt and the dream. Depending on how much Jim remembers from his time as a hunter and the Doll's parenting, he could theoretically end both cycles and finally let Yharnam exist in relative peace.
Thank you so much for clarifying. I do not enjoy grimdark endings(yes I know, I shouldn't be a dark souls fan then), so hearing that the true ending was actually hopeful is nice
@@lilyflos187 Dark Souls 3’s ending (with the DLC) is actually pretty hopeful. The world is over, but you’ve also helped create a painted world of fire and dark that won’t deteriorate- essentially a new world free from the decay of the old.
Unless you consider the blood curses are of Oedon's making. He is the blood after all, and half of the umbilical cords related to him (child born of cursed blood in his temple and the yet unborn child of celestial transfusions in a blood transfusion clinic). If this is his (its?) attempts at siring a child, the beast curse might still be there.
For the record, the Moon Presence isn’t actually all that villainous. While it’s motives are pretty inscrutable like all of the great old ones, it seems to be more or less acting to the benefit of humanity. The endless hunt is being sustained by Mensis, who are using the crying of the baby to lure in great old ones. The Moon Presence is the one giving you the tools you need to end the hunt, and resurrecting you when you die. In theory, after you kill Mergo’s wet nurse and end the hunt, taking Gherman’s offer and returning to your normal life is the good ending. In the alternate ending, you betray the moon presence, desiring the power of a great old one for yourself and transcending humanity. That said, this has, in fact, been your character goal from the very start of the game, as shown by the note written in their own hand at the start, so take that how you will.
I'm really glad I got to stop by and share the developer dungeons with RT and the rest of the stream, the fact anyone can just join a dungeon I made and experience cut content or developer test areas for themselves without having to mod their own game is one of the coolest things about Bloodborne modding.
1:11:44 Fun Fact RT, apparently Miyazaki likes the poison swamps, he stated in an interview that he added more of them to Elden Ring because he "Couldn't help himself"
@@BananaWrathful haven't watched it, too busy playing Elden Ring myself, but yeah, Poison and Rot Swamps everywhere I don't know if RT got there yet but there's also an area called the Lake of Rot which is a massive rot swamp.
@@joshuahendershot196 Its become a running joke in the elden ring vids since around the 2nd episode that RT makes fun of Miyazaki every time he gets to a new swamp area, or another giant crab appears.
@@kajiitl Fantastic, thank you for the update, I haven't watched RT's Elden Ring videos, I tried to watch the first stream but got so annoyed with his method of playing the game.
I’ve never beaten the game. Did surprisingly well through it all, till the ex hunter in the wheelchair decided I now suck at the game and began proving it over and over
If you are wondering about the end, the slug the doll is holding at the end is the hunter, who has become an old one infant to lead humanity to its next evolution or something along those lines.
@@LordGwyn-bh3ox in the Cthulu mythos it is Old one, in Bloodborne (which takes inspiration partially from the Cthulhu mythos) it is great one (assumedly for copyright reasons or something to that effect)
The utter offense in RT's voice at 13:38 SENT me. "You can't just SHOOT me!" Like that is the most egregious offense ever taken against him in Yharnam.
Going from Sean's "I know this game backwards blindfolded" playthrough to your "PLEASE OH GOD OH NO" playthrough hit me so hard I got whiplash And you actually did the "New players picking the axe" thing he was talking about!
@@donaghwilson7715 It's an odd one because most people (especially new players) will focus almost entirely on strength or skill, so either the axe or cane. Few would opt for the mixed quality build weapon.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466 well I'm talking purely on the fact that I get no enjoyment out of using the cleaver. It is one of only 3 weapons with no redeeming fun factor ( along with Reiterpallasch and saw spear). Like I get that it is a great weapon, decent scaling and serrated, but it is so dripless
I love how the first mandatory boss and the last mandatory boss of bloodborne invoke the same thoughts. "shit this old man is fucking cool, bet he woulda been scary as shit when he was in his prime"
The best joke I've ever heard comes from Thatcher's death. A Scottish comedian, Frankie Boyle, commenting on her death and the cost for a state funeral said: "For £3 million, they could buy everyone in Scotland a shovel, and we would dig a hole so deep that we could hand her over to Satan personally!”
God I love the comedic timing of the messages. Something like "Beware, anus exploding fiend abound" immediately followed by RT getting his anus exploded
At 11:15 in defence of chat for the og dark souls run, if you attack the undead merchant in the tunnel and DO NOT one shot them, they run to a spot you can not hit them from.
Yeah, I'm on the same boat! What's even going on? It may be because of Elden Ring, but no other souls game has seen such a radical surge in popularity. Not only did we get an amazing (and free) demake with couch co-op, there's also Zullie the witch's most recent videos, Ghostcharm's and downwars thrust's essay overviews, Symbalily's thoroughly insightful playthrough, then jacksepticeye and now RT game hops on board as well? Lmao this is too good to be true
@@omnomou81 rakes are actually decently common weapons in like, ancient China. I mean what else are you gonna use in the bicentennial peasant uprising?
I'm VERY proud of RT being able to withstand a fight that's literally just spiders at 1:26:30 . It might also just have mingled in with all the other shit so well his brain couldn't process fear XD
Can we just acknowledge how good RT was at this game? Like seriously first trying the boss that actively stopped the vast majority of players (gascoine) without using the music box, first trying the blood starved beast and the hardest mini boss in the game, beating Maria within a few tries, and just beating the orphan at all. Seriously the skill he showed playing this game, and for the first time.
@@Shry99 still, the whole point of Gascoine is to be a barrier of entry until you figure out the unique, more aggression focused, combat which is rather different than pretty much all souls games. Hell I believe the statistic “the majority of players have yet to beat father Gascoine” is still true to this day. The dude’s very difficult to the point where there’s a built in easy button just to get past it. The fact he just blew right through it first try with probably zero knowledge beforehand is insane.
@@abuckarooboyo7104 I mean for the cleric beast that would fit, but Gascoine was design heavily in bloodborne’s combat. It was the thing to teach you how the more aggressive system works, and specifically that the soul’s more careful and defensive mentality to combat wouldn’t work. Honestly Gascoine was probably harder for many who where entrenched in the slower souls system.
@@metronicmagician1816 I still think if you’re extremely experienced in souls would easily get you through the first few bosses. Plus if your style is aggressive anyway then the design changes you’re talking about really aren’t as drastic as you imply. That being said, bloodborne was my first soulsborne game ever and I definitely did not first try Gascogne lmao, but by the time I got to DS3 I could first try a lot of bosses that people would struggle with if it was their first.
The unused bosses at the end were really cool. That proto-Moon Presence felt more menacing than the actual one considering the atmosphere and context of the area. The invisible attacks, although unfair and bs, added to that feeling I think.
Im glad to see so many people finally playaing the game, i felt as if its been in the shadows of dark souls for so long, im glad that youtubers such as yourself and jackcepticeye are playing it and bringing light to such a good game
It's always so interesting seeing ds players play this game for the first time. You can literally see RT go from using DS tactics of backing away, being careful and trying to heal to going full BB mode and attacking like the crazy man he is
I was watching this while playing Stardew Valley and the jarring switch from me playing my little farming game trying to marry the author of a book to Dan playing Scary Jim who’s covered in blood fighting beasts straight from hell: amazingly makes this game a tiny bit scarier.
(imo) This game will never die, the game is so well made. Its like skyrim, despite the janky bugs and the _occasionally questionable_ visuals, you still end up coming back because the game is just fun and you don't give a shit about the bad parts.
Unless you are like me, and souls type games were never your thing, but skyrim was. Solely because, I don’t have enough time to get good at them and depth perception is an issue.
@@mebreevee I understand that they're not for everyone, I love skyrim to death too. That game has probably my favorite open world ever (tied with Witcher 3).
Skyrim has the huge advantage of being on PC and mod-able, bloodborne will die when the consoles it's played on are no longer relevant Or if it gets a PC port it lives forever
@@aelanarbrightfield6817 yeah true I guess Thats kinda like the game that will never die just because the amount of mods it has as well as the frequent re-releases, attention will always be drawn to that game
@@mebreevee Opposite thing for me. I LOVE Bloodborne and can't stand Skyrim. Mostly because Skyrim has a habit of being literally impossible to complete due to how broken it is.
Idk butter is a little baby but it’s so cool that lol lol so I’m excited about to get it back from you lol I just don’t think you need anything for like that lol I just don’t want you 😮 worry I don’t want to be a part of the evil wizard money gang
My favourite part of any of RT’s Dark Souls playthroughs is when he says “Ow” like he’s being mildly inconvenienced or annoyed instead of recieving devastating wounds
Dan finishing off every side quest and the dlc literally just before killing Gherman was really incredible to watch, it was watching everything wrapping up at once was an experience.
@@Solhurst yeah but I'd argue that RT playing bloodborne for the first time got Jack to post it on his channel (because Jack popped into chat on the first day)
in case no one explained to you in the stream Dan: by killing the Moon Presence, you become a Great One yourself, taking control of the Dream. and with the Orphan of Kos dead, the curse on Yarhnem and the Hunters is gone
That's honestly a really hopeful ending for one of these games, especially compared to the usual "people spend all eternity perpetuating a cycle of sacrifice" vs "everyone becomes a monster or dies"
A marvelous collection of highlights, but having Zullie the Witch at the end invite and grant Cut content with her coding skills for RT really is the icing on the cake here.
I doubt you'll see this RT, but if you want to look explanations for the lore of this game, I'd suggest T B Skyen's Bloodborne series. At the end of each video he goes in-depth onto his guesses at the lore for every boss and primary piece that he goes through. I personally LOVE his explanation on the Hunter's Nightmare.
Hey, everyone! That was indeed a very pleasant playthrough. I am sincerely happy that RT enjoyed the game. It's my personal favourite souls game, so far at least. Also, RT, if you'll ever want to complete Chalice Dungeons, don't hesitate to summon. You have a wonderful fanbase, and there are plenty of people who would help you with those nasty spiders, and me as well (I was that Faze(rm) guy) would do my best there. It was an honour to be a part of this journey. May the good blood guide your way.
These really long playthroughs are really nice to watch, with the comedy and gameplay really coming together it helps me 'play' a game that a never have the money or time to. Thank you RT!
Gets to ludwig and I just sit thinking "heh, Jack had issues. Lets see how you fair sir". But I love watching series like this from the perspective of a newer player and an experienced player. Keep up the good work on these vids, I cannot wait for elden ring. I'll be watching your vids after I experience it myself though so keep a seat for me.
At 1:13:09 the alien you killed was the orphan girl. After you told her that her parents were dead, she made her way to the clinic where she was experimented on and transformed
No, that one's the untrusting guy, pretty sure. Think the little girl is left to cry at her home (so long as you dont progress her quest) Only good ending for her is to not do her quest
@@beckettshaw660 well her sister didnt turn into a beast (granted, she kills herself right after we talk to her) after we kill rom, which I think is when everything goes to shit cus something 'bout rom shielding everything from the cosmic horror or something
I thought the Orphan Girl ends up in the belly of the pig in the Central Yharnam sewers. If you return to the pig after delivering the sad sad news, the pig drops a red messenger ribbon, the description of which suggests that it belonged to her.
RT thank you for making content I can feel safe watching no matter how stressed or off kilter I am. It's been invaluable to me during these stressful years
I just today got true ending with a friend who's been begging me to play it the entire time, had no idea that this would come out literally minutes after. I sure hope you were better at this game than I was :)
Wait a minute Jack also uploaded two bloodborn epidoes and he saw someone run past him with the kirk hammer. I know they probably didn't meet but I'm going to choose to belive that they met against all odds.
I really do love seeing all the playthroughs of bloodborne on youtube and stuff recently I love this game so much and seeing others come to like it as well is always a treat.
This stream and Sean beginning a new playthrough series of bloodborne are the main reasons why after nearly seven years I'm finally tackling and hopefully beating this powerhouse of a game.
"Im gonna close the console if i see spiders drop down from the cieling" *is playing the entire game, including nightmare of mensis* I guess he's been attending arachniphobics anonymous lately...
The lore of bloodborne it’s not complicated but is very cryptic basically a very religious group tricks everyone in yharnam and they turn there back to the first hunter, gerhman seeking for help was captured by the moon presence and you go to yharnam seeking to be god. The dlc is basically kill the son of god to free the hunters from the nightmare
Congratz to Rtgame! You defeated the final boss! Very proud of you! Saddly there is a boss in the end of Chalice dungeons, takes forever and a strong build to get to. Your Queen is in another castle.
fun fact, all the amygdala (the giant monsters that appear around yharnam and is also a boss), they are always there, you just can't see them unless you have enough insight
I was so psyched that you played one of my favorite games and enjoyed it!! Can't wait for the other games you'll play this year :) Fear the old blood RT
I have been waiting since your Dark Souls video, which got me into FromSoft, to play this game or continue the Souls series, you are truly an amazing creator

For context on the ending and the doll holding the Hunter Slug;
By eating the three parts of the umbilical cord, Jim basically gained the power of a Great One, preventing The Moon Presence from turning Jim into the new caretaker of the Dream now that Gehrman is dead. After killing the Presence, Jim fills the new power vacuum by becoming a Great One himself as the new God of the Moon and ruler of the Hunter's Dream, although he is effectively an infant god, who is going to be raised by the Doll of Maria.

For the record, the Moon Presence isn’t actually all that villainous. While it’s motives are pretty inscrutable like all of the great old ones, it seems to be more or less acting to the benefit of humanity. The endless hunt is being sustained by Mensis, who are using the crying of the baby to lure in great old ones. The Moon Presence is the one giving you the tools you need to end the hunt, and resurrecting you when you die.
In theory, after you kill Mergo’s wet nurse and end the hunt, taking Gherman’s offer and returning to your normal life is the good ending. In the alternate ending, you betray the moon presence, desiring the power of a great old one for yourself and transcending humanity.

@@robertlarson7224 Yes, you can. I believe the hunter simply wakes up in that ending
@@jonzinizin5498 Huh, fair enough. I've never tried it, I always assumed that was some sort of back out of the fight thing
You gotta love that long form RT content
I appreciate it greatly!
I was watching this while playing Stardew Valley and the jarring switch from me playing my little farming game trying to marry the author of a book to Dan playing Scary Jim who’s covered in blood fighting beasts straight from hell: amazingly makes this game a tiny bit scarier.
A person of culture, I see! You’ve got great taste in Stardew love interests XD
(imo) This game will never die, the game is so well made. Its like skyrim, despite the janky bugs and the _occasionally questionable_ visuals, you still end up coming back because the game is just fun and you don't give a shit about the bad parts.
Unless you are like me, and souls type games were never your thing, but skyrim was.
Solely because, I don’t have enough time to get good at them and depth perception is an issue.
@@mebreevee I understand that they're not for everyone, I love skyrim to death too. That game has probably my favorite open world ever (tied with Witcher 3).
Skyrim has the huge advantage of being on PC and mod-able, bloodborne will die when the consoles it's played on are no longer relevant
Or if it gets a PC port it lives forever
@@aelanarbrightfield6817 yeah true I guess
Thats kinda like the game that will never die just because the amount of mods it has as well as the frequent re-releases, attention will always be drawn to that game
@@mebreevee
Opposite thing for me. I LOVE Bloodborne and can't stand Skyrim. Mostly because Skyrim has a habit of being literally impossible to complete due to how broken it is.
The fact that Dan beat Gascoigne, the boss that you're SUPPOSED to counter, without countering.
He counters him as his first attack lol wdym
The soundtrack for the Cleric Beast, during that fight all I could think of was "YOU THREW MY SANDWICH AWAY! MY SANDWICH!
aha, nowhere to run
You know it’s kind of funny how let’s plays became less popular, and now these videos use “let’s play” in a different sense. We’ve come full circle
What do you mean a different sense? This is the original use of the term online, creating the let's play genre of gaming content on TH-cam.
Idk butter is a little baby but it’s so cool that lol lol so I’m excited about to get it back from you lol I just don’t think you need anything for like that lol I just don’t want you 😮 worry I don’t want to be a part of the evil wizard money gang
Yeah, the old format didn’t die so much as warp. I still poke at the LP archive occasionally
Wait, the moonlight greatsword consumes a bullet to fire a beam? That means it's the laser equivalent of a gunsword!
ironic, there are 2 literal gunswords in the game
Squall Leonhart would love it here
Ever since I've watched the streams, you have no idea how much I wanted this video
On behalf of twitch chat, thank you everyone that helped Dan with the spiders.
"he had a healthbar, that means 'hes evil"
so fucking based RT. so fucking based.
Edit: damn RT, you have fantastic Souls-Borne instincts XD
My favourite part of any of RT’s Dark Souls playthroughs is when he says “Ow” like he’s being mildly inconvenienced or annoyed instead of recieving devastating wounds
Dan finishing off every side quest and the dlc literally just before killing Gherman was really incredible to watch, it was watching everything wrapping up at once was an experience.
I cannot stress enough how much I love Jim Scary's laugh, and I absolutley want it
First Jacksepticeye replays Bloodborne and now you are playing blood borne this is amazing
You have got it mixed up
@@monstermasheryt8042 He was just trying to show support man
@@Solhurst yeah but I'd argue that RT playing bloodborne for the first time got Jack to post it on his channel (because Jack popped into chat on the first day)
@@zachhouston514 I understand that, and it's true, but he doesn't have to comment it on a comment just trying to be kind to RT
@@Solhurst He said a fact. Why are you so offended by that. He wasn't rude to anyone
in case no one explained to you in the stream Dan: by killing the Moon Presence, you become a Great One yourself, taking control of the Dream. and with the Orphan of Kos dead, the curse on Yarhnem and the Hunters is gone
That's honestly a really hopeful ending for one of these games, especially compared to the usual "people spend all eternity perpetuating a cycle of sacrifice" vs "everyone becomes a monster or dies"
@@Ryu1ify it's hopeful, unless your character is canonically an evil bastard who will bend humanity to their will.
i love your “let’s play all of ____” videos, usually i can’t watch 1hr+ videos in one sitting but there’s just something about yours
A marvelous collection of highlights, but having Zullie the Witch at the end invite and grant Cut content with her coding skills for RT really is the icing on the cake here.
Props to him continuing to use lightning against Paarl
I doubt you'll see this RT, but if you want to look explanations for the lore of this game, I'd suggest T B Skyen's Bloodborne series. At the end of each video he goes in-depth onto his guesses at the lore for every boss and primary piece that he goes through. I personally LOVE his explanation on the Hunter's Nightmare.
Hey, everyone! That was indeed a very pleasant playthrough. I am sincerely happy that RT enjoyed the game. It's my personal favourite souls game, so far at least.
Also, RT, if you'll ever want to complete Chalice Dungeons, don't hesitate to summon. You have a wonderful fanbase, and there are plenty of people who would help you with those nasty spiders, and me as well (I was that Faze(rm) guy) would do my best there.
It was an honour to be a part of this journey. May the good blood guide your way.
These really long playthroughs are really nice to watch, with the comedy and gameplay really coming together it helps me 'play' a game that a never have the money or time to. Thank you RT!
Gets to ludwig and I just sit thinking "heh, Jack had issues. Lets see how you fair sir".
But I love watching series like this from the perspective of a newer player and an experienced player. Keep up the good work on these vids, I cannot wait for elden ring. I'll be watching your vids after I experience it myself though so keep a seat for me.
Watching this on Twitch was bloody brilliant
You and your editor did an incredible job of keeping a lot of the story/lore elements in this video. Thank ya thank ya
2:35:25
An endless hunt, for a blood drunk Hunter.
His reaction to the shark well was just like everyone else’s lol “nope!”
"We'll beat the game, and then come back and murder him."
Oh you poor hunter.
RT not knowing the make contact emote and killing mensis makes me feel true emotional pain
At 1:13:09 the alien you killed was the orphan girl. After you told her that her parents were dead, she made her way to the clinic where she was experimented on and transformed
No, that one's the untrusting guy, pretty sure. Think the little girl is left to cry at her home (so long as you dont progress her quest)
Only good ending for her is to not do her quest
@@fjoltnyr2464 well she does turn into a beast at the same time as everyone else in yharnam. So no happy ending for her
@@beckettshaw660 well her sister didnt turn into a beast (granted, she kills herself right after we talk to her) after we kill rom, which I think is when everything goes to shit cus something 'bout rom shielding everything from the cosmic horror or something
I thought the Orphan Girl ends up in the belly of the pig in the Central Yharnam sewers. If you return to the pig after delivering the sad sad news, the pig drops a red messenger ribbon, the description of which suggests that it belonged to her.
I thought she wandered into the sewers and got ate up by the maneater boar
I really want artwork of jim scary now, he really looks like a dapper fellow.
Tbh it is kinda cute that some viewers joined to help Dan get through the spider rooms
RT thank you for making content I can feel safe watching no matter how stressed or off kilter I am. It's been invaluable to me during these stressful years
I just absolutely love that he isn't watching his hp for the last fight, so much that he doesn't notice his hp being at 1
I just today got true ending with a friend who's been begging me to play it the entire time, had no idea that this would come out literally minutes after. I sure hope you were better at this game than I was :)
You and Cloe did a great job condensing this playthrough omg! Also the thumbnail is very cool :)
Wait a minute Jack also uploaded two bloodborn epidoes and he saw someone run past him with the kirk hammer. I know they probably didn't meet but I'm going to choose to belive that they met against all odds.
They are both Irish so if distance is a factor
They're most likely friends on steam etc since they play alot together so it genuinely might've been him
When in the video was this?
I really do love seeing all the playthroughs of bloodborne on youtube and stuff recently I love this game so much and seeing others come to like it as well is always a treat.
The watchdog of the old lords is quite literally a hot dog.
I love how about every 10 seconds there is just an old man shrieking “ahhhhhhhhhhhh”
I’ve bee waiting a long time for this, well played Rt and Ashtaric
This stream and Sean beginning a new playthrough series of bloodborne are the main reasons why after nearly seven years I'm finally tackling and hopefully beating this powerhouse of a game.
1:11:46 because by his own admission Miyazaki goes into a fugue state and suddenly he's made a poison swamp when he comes out of it
“I’ll kill him before the playthrough is out” interesting choice of words, Daniel
My God, the Drift King has actually done it…
4:53 The comedic timing there of "Trust Me" and then getting thrown into the sky
I LOVE these long videos! As long as they’re made I will watch them :)
Shout out to the editor to, you always do an amazing job!
"Im gonna close the console if i see spiders drop down from the cieling"
*is playing the entire game, including nightmare of mensis*
I guess he's been attending arachniphobics anonymous lately...
1:18 everyone who's played the game before is just chuckling to themselves like 'little does he know'
The lore of bloodborne it’s not complicated but is very cryptic basically a very religious group tricks everyone in yharnam and they turn there back to the first hunter, gerhman seeking for help was captured by the moon presence and you go to yharnam seeking to be god.
The dlc is basically kill the son of god to free the hunters from the nightmare
Sounds like it could work for a Kirby game too.
Congratz to Rtgame! You defeated the final boss! Very proud of you! Saddly there is a boss in the end of Chalice dungeons, takes forever and a strong build to get to. Your Queen is in another castle.
Can definitely relate to walking through a horrorscape and doing fine and suddenly going "Uh there's a spider in that room I'm gonna need some help"
*THIRTY FOUR DAMAGE TO PAARL*
I feel so bad that RT fell for the “ooh strong weapon very good free win” trap that Dark Souls makes you fall into.
Dan's "Nyehnyehnyehn" laugh for his Jim Scary voice is my new favourite thing ever.
fun fact, all the amygdala (the giant monsters that appear around yharnam and is also a boss), they are always there, you just can't see them unless you have enough insight
I was so psyched that you played one of my favorite games and enjoyed it!! Can't wait for the other games you'll play this year :) Fear the old blood RT
I have been waiting since your Dark Souls video, which got me into FromSoft, to play this game or continue the Souls series, you are truly an amazing creator
Somehow rt makes me watch games like these,games I’d never want to play but somehow he makes me interested
This just popped up for me and I just dropped everything to watch this my favorite TH-camr playing my favorite game!
The final swing to take down Paarl at 54:00 was perfect.
