@@joelmartindominguez8273 as i said in my previous answer; Play Hollow Knight. It's an Metroidvania-Souls Like, and it surpasses so many other games i know who i have considered untouchable before. (Dark Souls 1, Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne) It's a world that feels alive, more so than any other video game world i know. When exploring Hollow Knight you feel a sense of wonder, that i have only felt before when playing minecraft the first time as a 9 year old. that's a weird comparison, but the sense of aw and just amazment that the game inflict turns you into a child again. It has more "flaws" than a game like bloodborne, but it's made by only three (3) people, and still, the detail and especially the care and love in this game rival blodborne, if not even succeeding it.
It's stuff like this that keeps me from leaving bloodborne and why I love it. Also, here's an insight for you. If you make contact at a winter lantern they won't attack you(note that you will still get frenzied from looking at them)
I really hope Elden Ring is this detailed and takes years upon years to keep discovering new things. Like i never knew you can block with the Ludwig weapons
37:40 "Several nightmares are stacked vertically" This is the most mindblowing one to me. This and the Moon being in front of the clouds. Holy fucking shit. The Moon one gave me chills. The nightmare one made me scream holy shit.
The doll moving her finger like that actually makes me a bit sad, and the moon appearing in front of the clouds is the first thing that I found disconcerting and creepy when I played this game.
I gained some serious Insight from all this. Let's hope I don't start seeing things... anyway, great work on this! Seriously, it's fantastic that the Bloodborne community is still kicking even after Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro took the spotlight. A wondrous game, and the extreme attention to detail is partly why. Thank you for displaying it so the world can see! Edit: Whaaaat the hell you can *dodge* the Wet Nurse's fog?! I never knew it was counted as an attack! Awesome discovery.

I remember Oedon being the biggest mystery of the game when it first released, and that we would see it/him in the dlc.... Oedon still remains the biggest mystery of Bloodborne to this day.
From what I can tell it's an extremely rare event. After almost 1000 hours into the game I've only had it happen for me once on my first playthrough, and I don't even know what I did to trigger it. Maybe it isn't rare and I'm not triggering it as much but it's weird I've only had it happen to me once.
@@fatfuck2384 I think the chances of it increase if the doll is sitting down lost in thought, cause I've seen him do it a couple times, but never without the doll being sitting down when I got in the dream.
@@fatfuck2384 From what I remember you have to enter Hunter's Dream with 60+ insight after Gherman disappears, he'll be behind the workshop sleeping where you can give the messengers their hats and headgear. Also after killing Orphan of Kos he'll stop having nightmares and sleeps peacefully.
On the Micolash bridge detail, there’s a cutscene dedicated to it moving up to another floor, also to get around the now missing bridge you go left and there is a small corridor that will still get you to the other side. You can also see the Moon Presence if you die to it from that same spot as where you spotted Gehrman. Master’s Iron Helm is also more valuable. Sometimes Ritekeepers will stay upright when moving around and fighting. I actually learned quite a lot from this video, thank you for posting!
Fun mechanic for those not in the know: If you have a rapid or slow gem on your weapon, you don't even need to hit your enemy to inflict the poison. ROLLING against them can also inflict poison (make sure you're rolling while not locked on as when you ARE locked on, you only "scoot" left and right). This even works on invaders ✌️😈

Thank you so much for this amazing work on my favorite game. Will there ever be a game that merges cosmic lovecraftian horror with the gothic Victorian aesthetic like this? If there isn't, I am okay. Just wish the chalice dungeons were a bit more varied.
I dunno but this is a highly underrated vid . Better than Vaati. Good job dude! Edit: I am not a Vaati hater at all. I am subscribed to his channel and watch his videos. Just thought that this video was a little bit better.
@@cheesethehoonter2955 for some reason there is always a Vaati hater. Even though all the soulsborne creators appear to share ideas, reference each other and appear get along and support each others work. I'm pretty sure they all collaborated on a dark souls lore video as narrators.
@@Garviel-Loken i don't think this guy is a vaati hater, just a bit stupid. vaati focuses on lore and connections more than small gameplay secrets, so the connection is a bit weak, thhat's one reason this comment is dumb, the other being that you don't need to compare everybody and everything all the time. why can't you just enjoy two things seperatley, without putting them against one another? it will only make one thing less enjoyable.
@@Paulito-ym4qc I dunno, I feel quite the opposite, for every lore video that vaati makes, there's like three "Things you missed" or "Story mode" or first hand impressions of games that he got to try early Not to mention, most of his lore videos have been outdone by other creators such as Hawkshaw and Redgrave.
@@Paulito-ym4qc Jesus man, calm down. You got offended quick. And BTW, this video is alot similar to your beloved Vaati's ' 50 facts you probably didn't know about Blood borne ' series. So yeah, of course I am going to compare them. I still like Vaati. You just seem like a fanboy lol. And even more, so now comparing something to something else is frowned upon ? Go fuck yourself. Bruh, I just came here to post a damn compliment and people like you came along quick.
One of my favorite details: The corpse hung upside down 37:35 (the one whose head is the accursed brew) is probably the origin of the Hunter's Emblem and the logo of the whole damn game. Please upvote so the creator may see this.
Thanks for making this video, it made me appreciate the game even more than i already did; and it was already at second favorite game of all time. You'll have to excuse me, i'm gonna go back to play Bloodborne now.
43:52 "There is a variant of the Cramped Casket that can be found without the casket" Yeah, I can definitely get that a cramp *feels* like that thing *looks*
You sir are the greatest... I can imagine the hard work and hours you spent in making this video in one shot. A Hunter Salute to you. Keep up. Consider i'm a ahuge follower of yours.
“Lone survivor from a lost hamlet” could also refer to Old Yharnam, since hunters burnt it to the ground after its residents became beasts. I believe Gehrman refers to it as an abandoned hamlet in a line of dialogue. Anyway, great video!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that too!! Interestingly enough, anytime a hamlet is mentioned in game, it involves Gerhman. I wonder if in his mania, he was making parallels to his sins and those of burned Old Yharnam. It's vague enough, that it can probably refer to either, or what you want your Hunter to originate from.
I already had my eyes wide open in surprise just 20 seconds in. This is gonna be good Edit: Yep, my jaw dropped a few times. Like the fact that Kos has a human face! Thank you so much for posting! God I want to share this so much to just show how great Bloodborne is so my friends will finally give it a try, but saying basically anything already spoils the experience.
Writing before watching: if there is one discovery that i wasn't aware of, i'll sub. edit: oh boy. i finished this game 15 times. journeyed almost every dungeon and platininumed it. have more than 2500 hours. and still, seems like i am far from being what i thought i was with this game. it hasn't been ten minutes into the video and i am frenzy thanks to those insights. you have my well earned subscription and respect. thank you for reminding me that bloodborne is at the pinnacle of all art. how the hell do you block with ludwig
The note rating thing also applies to darksouls, I remember fighting a boss and getting healed right before dying, I managed to kill the boss with that heal cause I ran out of estus

I always think I've seen it all from Bloodborne already, but nearly half of this was new to me. Time to accept that Bloodborne will always have more secrets than I think I already know. Excellent video.
There's a spot in the OLD hunter lodge that with headphones you can hear the pleasurable sounds of a lady. About the middle of the walking paths, if you turn your camera just right you'll pick it up on headphones. I was like, wtf? That's not sobbing or praying that's deffinately "more". (where most tuturial messages appear in normal hunter lodge.)
You're right about the audio - it's definitely there. JSF (I think) looked into it a while ago, but it turned out to be some kind of glitch/left-over asset in the map file.
Bloodborne is truly Fromsofts masterpiece. Its world is my favorite and by far the most fascinating out of souls and sekiros worlds. Let’s hope “Elden Ring” can succeed its legacy. Amazing video, great work!
I noticed the city under the lake in the village, but I never thought *all* of the nightmare stacked, this video has blown my mind. That and the Moon being in front of the clouds. Terrific stuff.

It's in her questline, after she goes mad and kills Arianna under the bloodmoon.

Obviously this is a bug, but it would be interesting to see her corpse somewhere in the hunter's nightmare. An amazing way to end her questline.
"The moon appears in front of the clouds" such a minor detail with huge impact. People have been speculating that the moon itself might be an old one and this is another hint into that direction imo.

@@joelmartindominguez8273 as i said in my previous answer; Play Hollow Knight. It's an Metroidvania-Souls Like, and it surpasses so many other games i know who i have considered untouchable before. (Dark Souls 1, Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne)
It's a world that feels alive, more so than any other video game world i know.
When exploring Hollow Knight you feel a sense of wonder, that i have only felt before when playing minecraft the first time as a 9 year old. that's a weird comparison, but the sense of aw and just amazment that the game inflict turns you into a child again.
It has more "flaws" than a game like bloodborne, but it's made by only three (3) people, and still, the detail and especially the care and love in this game rival blodborne, if not even succeeding it.
Seeing Yharnam underwater in the Fishing Hamlet absolutely made me go crazy.
*frenzy
I figured that out the hard way cause I fell in the water my first play through
It's not the true yharnam, it's the hunters nightmare yharnam.
@@WretchedAutomaton404 This. Remember where the random snail creature in the Nightmare came from. Up.
@@InternetHydra ohhh s**t😰 now i know how
I didn't even know the Church Giants were breaking their own legs. That's kinda sad
I honestly thought the Church Giants were easy to fight
Hossamism1 4:03
They are like Frankenstein's monster or some kind of mindless zombies
I don't feel bad for killing the ones with chain balls and undead giants in chalice dungeons
They are breaking their legs while wanting to break your legs. Don't be sorry.
It's stuff like this that keeps me from leaving bloodborne and why I love it. Also, here's an insight for you. If you make contact at a winter lantern they won't attack you(note that you will still get frenzied from looking at them)
@Just a Banana If you want to see it in action before trying it there's a video calling testing "make contact" gesture on winter lanterns

I really hope Elden Ring is this detailed and takes years upon years to keep discovering new things. Like i never knew you can block with the Ludwig weapons
yo i forgot elden ring was gonna be a thing, i hope they spend a long ass time developing the game cause clearly im well equipped to handle the wait
Come on now it's From Software we're talking about, of course they're gonna make it detailed like all the other games.
All their games have a lot of details.

"Several nightmares are stacked vertically"
This is the most mindblowing one to me. This and the Moon being in front of the clouds. Holy fucking shit. The Moon one gave me chills. The nightmare one made me scream holy shit.
Nice profile pic
Brothers
Because the moon is a great one that we cant perceive until it shows itself
When Adella got snatched up to start the dlc I went “Oh, shit”
The doll moving her finger like that actually makes me a bit sad, and the moon appearing in front of the clouds is the first thing that I found disconcerting and creepy when I played this game.
I gained some serious Insight from all this. Let's hope I don't start seeing things... anyway, great work on this! Seriously, it's fantastic that the Bloodborne community is still kicking even after Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro took the spotlight. A wondrous game, and the extreme attention to detail is partly why. Thank you for displaying it so the world can see!
Edit: Whaaaat the hell you can *dodge* the Wet Nurse's fog?! I never knew it was counted as an attack! Awesome discovery.
Bloodborne just is still the best of them all 😎
Similar video for Dark Souls 1 is in the works. If you have any discoveries you'd like to see included, please put them in the replies to this comment!
Can't wait for the video! (This one was in my recommended and I'm glad it was)

10:44 - and you know what's producing that smoke? Bodies being cremated.
I think you're right!
That's what charnel houses are for. Charnel means bone-littered.
I was wondering why! thanks
It makes more sense when you think of the item description of Bone Marrow Ash, as it says its collected from Hemwick Charnal Lane
@@markkingston2580 holy fucking shit.This is wild man
So Ooden is a concept? Huh that's such amazing attention to detail cause that's how the Great Old Ones are portrayed in Lovecraftian horror lol
Yeah it's really cool, Oedon exists only in voice form as far as we mortals can tell.
I remember Oedon being the biggest mystery of the game when it first released, and that we would see it/him in the dlc....
Oedon still remains the biggest mystery of Bloodborne to this day.
My heart broke when I heard gherman cry, how did i not notice that before?
gehrman absolutely does not deserve the bullshit he's gone through
From what I can tell it's an extremely rare event. After almost 1000 hours into the game I've only had it happen for me once on my first playthrough, and I don't even know what I did to trigger it. Maybe it isn't rare and I'm not triggering it as much but it's weird I've only had it happen to me once.
@@fatfuck2384 I think the chances of it increase if the doll is sitting down lost in thought, cause I've seen him do it a couple times, but never without the doll being sitting down when I got in the dream.
@@fatfuck2384 From what I remember you have to enter Hunter's Dream with 60+ insight after Gherman disappears, he'll be behind the workshop sleeping where you can give the messengers their hats and headgear. Also after killing Orphan of Kos he'll stop having nightmares and sleeps peacefully.
Pebbles always remind me of little Deathstars!
@@nanomachine XD
Star Wars was actually referencing bloodborne’s pebbles with the Death Star

Well the Death Star is a one eye symbolism so it's not surprising.
28:16 WHAT
I think this one is my personal favourite.
I accidentally did this the first time I fought it and was really confused when I heard people thought it was hard
why do we have the same icon
@@zafaraa6410 I assume because we both liked the image
Are you talking about the aoe attack?
On the Micolash bridge detail, there’s a cutscene dedicated to it moving up to another floor, also to get around the now missing bridge you go left and there is a small corridor that will still get you to the other side.
You can also see the Moon Presence if you die to it from that same spot as where you spotted Gehrman.
Master’s Iron Helm is also more valuable.
Sometimes Ritekeepers will stay upright when moving around and fighting.
I actually learned quite a lot from this video, thank you for posting!
You can even lock-on and attack Gehrman/MP from that spot too with A Call Beyond, but it does no damage until you enter the fog.
24:50 I gotta need a new set of pants.
This video granted me eyes
@Sad but True Let us chat into the wee hours
Kos must have heard your prayers.
We've been blessed with blood.
"Adella can trigger the dlc"
WHAT
*F R E N Z Y*
43:34 you can't rally from the skeleton undead thingies in micolash fight either, something I wanted to share since it's similiar
They don't give souls either iirc
Fun mechanic for those not in the know: If you have a rapid or slow gem on your weapon, you don't even need to hit your enemy to inflict the poison. ROLLING against them can also inflict poison (make sure you're rolling while not locked on as when you ARE locked on, you only "scoot" left and right). This even works on invaders ✌️😈
I can confirm this is true.
Replaying again and I just levelled up my arcane to 16 and 11 vit. Literally burned cleric to death with taking no hits looooool after killing papa gas
Ymfah made a playtrough with this mechanic (without weapons)
Thank you so much for this amazing work on my favorite game. Will there ever be a game that merges cosmic lovecraftian horror with the gothic Victorian aesthetic like this? If there isn't, I am okay. Just wish the chalice dungeons were a bit more varied.
I dunno but this is a highly underrated vid . Better than Vaati. Good job dude!
Edit: I am not a Vaati hater at all. I am subscribed to his channel and watch his videos. Just thought that this video was a little bit better.
The Mad God boy don’t you say anything bad about vaati he is a god
@@cheesethehoonter2955 for some reason there is always a Vaati hater. Even though all the soulsborne creators appear to share ideas, reference each other and appear get along and support each others work.
I'm pretty sure they all collaborated on a dark souls lore video as narrators.
@@Garviel-Loken i don't think this guy is a vaati hater, just a bit stupid. vaati focuses on lore and connections more than small gameplay secrets, so the connection is a bit weak, thhat's one reason this comment is dumb, the other being that you don't need to compare everybody and everything all the time. why can't you just enjoy two things seperatley, without putting them against one another? it will only make one thing less enjoyable.
@@Paulito-ym4qc I dunno, I feel quite the opposite, for every lore video that vaati makes, there's like three "Things you missed" or "Story mode" or first hand impressions of games that he got to try early
Not to mention, most of his lore videos have been outdone by other creators such as Hawkshaw and Redgrave.
@@Paulito-ym4qc Jesus man, calm down. You got offended quick. And BTW, this video is alot similar to your beloved Vaati's ' 50 facts you probably didn't know about Blood borne ' series. So yeah, of course I am going to compare them. I still like Vaati. You just seem like a fanboy lol. And even more, so now comparing something to something else is frowned upon ? Go fuck yourself. Bruh, I just came here to post a damn compliment and people like you came along quick.
One of my favorite details: The corpse hung upside down 37:35 (the one whose head is the accursed brew) is probably the origin of the Hunter's Emblem and the logo of the whole damn game. Please upvote so the creator may see this.
I'd see it anyway, no worries. And yes, I agree that it's intentionally a hunter's mark.
@@LakeofMud Dope. Thanks for the reply. Incredibly solid work. Your DS3 blew my damn mind.
Thanks for making this video, it made me appreciate the game even more than i already did; and it was already at second favorite game of all time.

I hope I can push Bloodborne to #1 for you!

"There is a variant of the Cramped Casket that can be found without the casket"

You sir are the greatest... I can imagine the hard work and hours you spent in making this video in one shot. A Hunter Salute to you. Keep up. Consider i'm a ahuge follower of yours.
Thanks!
Incredible video. This is one of my favorite games and I've finished it over 10 times, yet there was tons of stuff here that I didn't know about.
Thanks!
i got sad over the chapel dweller’s response from being hit ;-; nice vid tho
It had to be done ;-;
“Lone survivor from a lost hamlet” could also refer to Old Yharnam, since hunters burnt it to the ground after its residents became beasts. I believe Gehrman refers to it as an abandoned hamlet in a line of dialogue.
Anyway, great video!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that too!! Interestingly enough, anytime a hamlet is mentioned in game, it involves Gerhman. I wonder if in his mania, he was making parallels to his sins and those of burned Old Yharnam.
It's vague enough, that it can probably refer to either, or what you want your Hunter to originate from.
the call beyond doing a star shape might be a reference to the eye rune since its the same type of shape
I think you might be right - it's also the symbol of the arcane stat. (The original arcane stat symbol was an apple though).
@@LakeofMud an apple? Why in the Earth (in the Cosmo)?
@@igornaimoli7321 the apple is a symbol of knowledge (academia) and temptation (apple of Eden)

Oh God Makoto, so you like Bloodborne? I always knew you were the best girl
After years with this game I still didnt know like 75 percent of this
The algorithm finally got this one.
47:33 does anyone know the glyph for that chalice dungeon?
I already had my eyes wide open in surprise just 20 seconds in. This is gonna be good
Edit: Yep, my jaw dropped a few times. Like the fact that Kos has a human face!
Thank you so much for posting!
God I want to share this so much to just show how great Bloodborne is so my friends will finally give it a try, but saying basically anything already spoils the experience.
Writing before watching: if there is one discovery that i wasn't aware of, i'll sub.
edit: oh boy. i finished this game 15 times. journeyed almost every dungeon and platininumed it. have more than 2500 hours. and still, seems like i am far from being what i thought i was with this game. it hasn't been ten minutes into the video and i am frenzy thanks to those insights. you have my well earned subscription and respect. thank you for reminding me that bloodborne is at the pinnacle of all art.
how the hell do you block with ludwig
Thanks! The blocking is a bit broken. You have to be hit while doing a backstep-R1.
Cant wait for a video like this on Elden Ring secrets.... in about 47 years then...
When the face of Kos is shown, the timing of the music is perfect. Just chills. Nice work.
The note rating thing also applies to darksouls, I remember fighting a boss and getting healed right before dying, I managed to kill the boss with that heal cause I ran out of estus

Excellent video.
I found out about choir bell Eileen last night. I tried to help damn it
There's a spot in the OLD hunter lodge that with headphones you can hear the pleasurable sounds of a lady. About the middle of the walking paths, if you turn your camera just right you'll pick it up on headphones. I was like, wtf? That's not sobbing or praying that's deffinately "more". (where most tuturial messages appear in normal hunter lodge.)
You're right about the audio - it's definitely there. JSF (I think) looked into it a while ago, but it turned out to be some kind of glitch/left-over asset in the map file.
Isn't that the sounds of the doll?

Good shit dude. Learned a lot of things about my favorite game.
On my 26th playthrough, reminded me of some things I discovered years ago and still a few I had zero clue about. Amazing video, great format and editing. I found myself forwarding ten seconds when I knew something but often found I’d missed the next insight because of how concise you’ve made the video. Great work.
