+Travis Gibbons You sir got a genuine lol. Well, not really out loud, but a hearty chuckle. Well, not really a full chuckle. More like of those single little laughs you let out through your nose, but a laugh all the same.
Then after Dark Souls 2 I went to Dark Souls 3 and had to learn again that its Bloodborne like not Dark souls like.(Abyss Watchers good lesson) Combat is so fast in Dark Souls 3 again, love it !
Yeah, the its not that hard compared to Dark Souls 3 but at least for me getting used to different fighting style took some time, Father Gascoigne for example was pretty hard even though I had played all Souls games before.
I have never been played a souls game and decided to make bloodborne my first game into the souls genre. The man made me going into a blind rage and I uninstalled the game then redownloaded it tried again after a day and killed him
@@hoitem6500 I was really mad my problem was I wasn’t playing aggressive enough. Next day I stun locked gascoin with my cane till he transformed no music box. After that nothing felt really hard if I could beat him I could beat anyone. Never thought I’d love a game like this in my life. Now I’m playing elden ring won’t lie I think I liked the play style of BB more as I played it right before
I just beat him by the skin of my teeth, admittedly I used cocktails to fell him at the end, but I didn’t care I just wanted him dead I guess I really got into the hunt though, but plus that’s the beast forms weakness.
@@inuclearpickle8628 I like how both play, but yeah my favorite thing about Bloodborne, is less stats to worry about, and that parrying is easier to pull off since you can determine when you shoot, unlike a parry which has a ark you have to lineup.
+Daniel Donaldson "I thought this game was hard, he just made his axe longer. Almost the-- WAIT WHAT. WHY. NO! COME ON. NO NO NO. PLEASE I'M SO CLOSE. DAAAMMIIIIITTTT" *tears*
@@Verseanomaly you know funny story, I managed to kill him before he transformed lol. Like he was about to and when he did he died, I was like "oh..neat anyways"
@@mopeysadcloud3925 damn I really struggled the first few times because i didn't know how to parry his attacks in 2. and 3. stage so I ended up with no health and ammo pretty quick, as I entered the arena for a last try I remembered I still had 6 molotowcocktails,because I had nothing else I threw them at him and surprisingly killed him pretty fast with it. my new plan b since then is "Purge it with holy fire!"
Bosses hearing the soundtrack as you walk in like: *Walks in* "oh thats curious" *5 seconds in* "oh, here to fight, are you?" *First section* "ah! This little dude can really dodge attacks! And he keeps slitting my skin. Well I'll show you!" *Second section begins* "OMF Old Ones just die already!!!" *fight and song near to a close* "well shit..."
I never in a million years thought I'd like this kind of game.. Got it for $15 and wanted to return it after 10 minutes. Now here I am level 75 completely obsessed.
it was the first game i bought with ps4, wanted to return it the first day... i endured :D now it's the best game i ever played, a rare piece of art among games, a master piece :)
@@eloel777 it happend to all of us. I buyed dark souls 1 back then and selled it again because it was too hard. Then I gave dark souls 2 a chance cause the trailers looked amazing and completed it. From there on I played all souls games and they are the best games of all time. They give you that feeling being an adventurer in a hostile dark and brutal world and conquering it bit by bit. I hope from software continues making games like this and don't make them easier just to please more players. But I trust from software whatever they are doing. They have a strong vision
I think Gascoignes theme is perfection. Not only because it sounds great, but it perfectly represents the fight. The first phase has a deep powerful tone that has a seriousness that can't be mistaken. This is a hunter. But then it suddenly changes, becoming slightly horrifying as the beast inside emerges. It devolves from there into an aggressive fast paced soundtrack as the new hunter fights for their life against a feral beast that once was a proud hunter.
Kinda like when the third Mantis Lord also stands up during the second phase of Pantheon 5 "Mantis Lords" fight and it turns into the Sisters of Battle fight then the music kicks in.
Late reply, but check out Gustav Holst's _Mars, Bringer of War_ . The part at 4:24 is sure to fling some heads. m.th-cam.com/video/L0bcRCCg01I/w-d-xo.html
I always turn off the sound effects in boss battles, I just LOVE listening to the music whie fighting the boss without having to hear it scream every two seconds.
In my case I fucking jizzed my pants when I heard the boss theme that played on the 3rd phase. It distracted me and next thing I see is Gascoigne leaping towards me and completely beating the shit out of me. My first death on that bossfight. xD
Yeah that happens to me so much xD I only pay attention to the music at the beggining of the boss fight, because when i actually start fighting, the music just seems to dispear and only get to listen to it again when i either die or kill the boss. (Yes i know the comment was 8 years ago)
Honestly? Yes. He's a good "tutorial" on how the game should be approached: be aggressive and you'll be rewarded, be a coward and you'll get mawled to death.
@@skeletonjam I disagree, cleric beast for new players is just a big monster like ones you would find in another souls game, and so it discourages trying a new approach.
Well he has a big health bar, a name, harder to kill than your average enemy, and a special theme only shared with a boss encountered slightly later. For me, that defines a boss.
The game is, and I quote, teaching you how to really enjoy a souls game the first few games teach you how not to, hiding behind a sheild and going for all out protection and damage, when in reality you want a good DPS and the ability to avoid enemy attacks Go back to the other games with Bloodborne's message in mind
Playing all souls games before bloodborne really made it hard to defeat him of Cleric Beast. I was used to slow methodical style of boss fights. In BB you have to be aggressive. When my brother tried the game (no souls experience at all) he 2 shotted Cleric Beast. Feels bad man.
Calling him Father Gascoigne was brilliant. The game throws you a red herring that Gascoigne comes from a distant land, since Father isn't a term granted to church members. Of course, you realize he is indeed a father of a young girl, and when he hears you play the music box that once belonged to her, he actually staggers. Damn From, you just broke my heart with a little play on words.
In any other game, that music box would be a scripted event that plays a cutscene that makes Gascoigne angry, that would be lame but this is a FromSoft game, they put effort into making an awesome experience without that "trying to be like a movie" bullshit
+PeteSabacker "Father" is also a term used for priests in the English language, I think what he meant is that the game's "Healing Church" group doesn't give the title Father because the descriptions of his clothes say "'Father' is a title used for clerics in a foreign land, and there is no such rank in the Healing Church."
This theme perfectly illustrates how Gascoigne is slowly being consumed by sent of blood and lust of the hunt. The pacing of the music increases like a mad mans heart rate, it becomes more sinister as if an inhuman force is taking over. He embraces the turn to beasthood...all for the hunt.
@@watertommyzthere's a fan theory that the beasts killed her while he was on the hunt and that hate for his wife being killed fueled his bloodlust sending him into a rage killing everyone there to avenge his wife... Then you walk in as he's chopping away to fill a void
@@MozeKaliberthere was actual gameplay in a beta version were you teamed up for about the first half of Central Yarnham before he left to handle business, and then you found him like that. Would have made it a more tragic fight, if that’s even possible, because he would have known you but completely have lost his humanity at that point.
Bloodborne's bosses are aggressive and require you to play aggressively. Gascoigne is a lot easier when you realize dodging at him is safer than trying to distance yourself from him.
I remember beating bloodborne first and jumping straight into Dark Souls III after, it was like hitting a wall at 200mph. Going back to defensive play, keeping a distance, wait for a chance to land hits was really hard for me.
Gascoigne, have a Snickers. "Why?" You're not you when you thirst for chocolate caramel nougat. "Oooh it sings to me." *bites the snickers and turns back to human form* Better? "Better."
This sound track conveys the feeling of the fight: You, a complete newcomer to Yharnam and the hunting business is about to go up against a true veteran hunter who's completely lost it. And you don't stand a chance.
Indeed everyone probably banged their head against him for a while until he died. I know i struggled a ton on him. But in the end, i respawned and he didnt.
i heard the music all the way through the fight, made it more intense Also the fact that i died at 3:05 to the end of the theme was pretty cool for me. At that point the victor was decided, and that was Gascoigne and the good hunter was laying on the gorund lifeless.
yeah mee too. The first time I fought this guy I was really into it. I was watching some videos of people reacting to this boss and I was like, "wait a minute, is that the song?... wow".
When Father Gascoigne stood up and said “It’s Bloodin Time” before the fight, I broke into tears! Truly the video game of all time! (serious this game is a masterpiece I’m on my first playthrough and I love it)
This theme is actually one of the main themes of the game and I believe was used in one of the trailers. It’s not just Gascoigne’s theme but the theme of the hunters. Your theme.
I love how the entire first phase is to instill a sense of dread and foreboding, and then phase 2 is sheer panic and terror. It sets the tone for Bloodborne so well.
1:30- "Huh. I kinda expected this to be harder than the Cleric Bea- 1:40- "wait, why is he glowing now? *Gascoine transforms* "...Oh Jesus Christ." *Dies*
Bloodborne is my 1st game that I ever played from Fromsoftware I really wanted to try out one of the games before buying Dark Souls Remastered on the Switch (just the soundtrack alone made me want to get the game) I soon discovered that my older brother had gotten this game (I think from PS4 membership thingy) and I started playing it 2 days ago and I already fell in love with the game after karate chopping that stupid wolf in the beginning it took me almost an hour to beat it but I felt satisfied that I slayed it, I still don't get how I managed to get to Gascoigne 1st before the Cleric Beast but I ultimately died when I left him at a quarter health but that mistake was BEST mistake because I was finally able to level up my stats YAY :'D Soon after that I went on that long wide bridge with the 2 wolves thinking there was more to Yharnam only to be jumpscared by the Cleric Beast (I never felt genuinely fear in the game I began to hear my heart thats how traumatized I was seeing that beast coming towards you and I wanted to flee but I saw there was some kind of barrier so the only option I had was kill or be killed) and I somehow got him to a quarter health before dying. This game really knows how to scare the player (;-;)
@@londor4201 damn I can't believe I started playing Bloodborne a month ago, I sadly haven't gotten the chance to play it because of school and my brother won't let me use his PS4 even though he uses his PS5 nowadays ngl the next time I get the chance to play it I can't wait to be traumatized by this game (now I see why The Forbidden Woods are called that ;-;) and I even managed to beat Vicar Amelia and The Witch of Hemwick but after that School decided to exist and I come out of school much later at 3:30PM when before it was 3:00PM which is poo I want my old schedule bacc, I don't wanna sound cliché but IF your interested in seeing my suffering I uploaded poorly made videos (the 1st 2 aren't edited) as I originally wanted to show it to my friends but I soon found myself enjoying making TH-cam videos so hurray :'D (I find it sad that I become more productive on the last weeks of Summer).
@@bobbyray3105 yeah, i started playing bloodborne a week ago, i'm currently in the forbidden woods and i'm really enjoying the game, hopefully you're able to play more
You just have to love how this theme starts out slow and really ominous, and then just slowly gets more and more dramatic and builds up to this bombastic crescendo! It's truly amazing.
I don't have a PS4 so I never played bloodborne unfortunately, so I can't say anything about the game. But I can say that its music is fucking top notch
joedatius Lots of the boss tracks seem to have three stages, like the bosses themselves, to make sure you *lose your shit* once the Blood-starved Beast assumes its third form
@@jhonny1416 Pretty much what Matthew said, as well as failing to realize that you can easily and quickly get up in Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne while on the ground simply by moving the analog stick in any direction.
While Gehrman has the most beautiful, haunting music, and Mari has the most epic and grandiose, neither compare to the sheer badassery and savagery of Gascoigne's... The three hunter bosses have some of the best music in video game history. (Gehrman is probably my favourite OST of all time, just ahead of Red Square from Metro: Last light)
The Hunter bosses are also the most memorable ones imo besides Ludwig. Each were unique and different while rewarding you for learning the game mechanics the most.
I love this track don’t get me wrong and Maria’s, but if we’re talking about epic Ludwig wins hands down. When he grabs that sword the music hits legendary levels!
1:36 what I like about the transition to the second phase is it sound like a score from one of those gothic movies where the person afflicted with lycanthrope transforms for the final time, completely losing their humanity with the only cure being a silver bullet.
@@Basidus258 In the alpha there was an un_used slot that is speculated to be spells. Also there would be "boss souls", so I speculate you coud used a boss soul for either upgrades or spells.
@@SwiftyEmpire bloodborne was originally going to have very direct links to demon's souls, but i think the shift in style mid development made them decide to remove it originally, pretty much every npc associated the church would say "umbasa"
@sapphire Besides from Umbasa, thats it. Thats literally the only link. A single word from cut content. Would have been awesome tho. As thats confirmation nonetheless
I remember asking my girlfriend to pick between me playing Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne (btw she knew nothing about either game or the genre in general). She chose Bloodborne because of the artwork on the cover. This was my first Souls game EVER and I tried to stay away from them because I knew they were hard. But I played anyways. Dying repeatedly as I made my way through Central Yharnam, leveling my axe, fighting through the sewers until I climb the ladder and stairs to see a graveyard. I knew this was a boss arena and I was nervous and scared because of all the other beasts I fought and raged to get here, but I stepped inside anyways. The cutscene plays to me watching in awe and horror of this man chopping away at the people I saw before and he turns to me to cut me down in his blood-crazed frenzy. I was overwhemled with his speed and aggressiveness. But as I fought him my 2nd, 3rd, and finally my 4th time I wasn't scared anymore. Just captivated by this amazing boss and character with this killer soundtrack. I slaughtered my first prey and felt that feeling that everyone felt when they overcame their first hard boss and I knew I had stumbled across a gem. Then I walked into the next section and got absolutely wrecked by the next enemies...Thanks FromSoft :) Lmao
This and Ludwig boss fight is exactly opposite. While Gascoigne goes from man to beast and the music goes awesome to frantic. Ludwig basically starts out as an abomination but goes to regain a bit of humanity, stands straight, and the music goes from creepy to goosebumps inducing.
I just love how Miyazaki absolutely FORCES new players to git gud in this game - and the game is so unapologetic about it. Either you learn how to play the damn game or this game is simply not for you.
I remember saying this when Sekiro came out. People were moaning for an easy mode so they can enjoy it. Hey, if FromSoftware wants to do that, then let them. But if not? Then git gud. 😤
+HollowHunterGehrman The gun doesn't stun for long, that's the problem. Locking and rolling in circles around him (Like you'd do in loZ: TP for the darknuts) gave me a win
This is honestly the fight that sparked my competitive nature. After lose to him so many times there was no way in hell I was gonna let him be the wall I couldn't smash through. And that made my victory feel earned .
This is what got my friend into souls games because the thought they were just BS mechanics. He saw me after I beat Gasciogne and then he had to do it himself. Took him 4 days nonstop. When he finally did beat it, not only was he hooked, he had leveled up his play so much he didn’t die to a single boss thereafter.
I always wanted to get started with Souls-like games but never knew were to start. Picked this up for free with the ps+ collection and this bossfight made me know that now…now I’m hooked.
I bought the PS4 just for this game yesterday. It's my second From Soft game, coming from DS1 on PC. After a couple of hours getting familiar with the PS4 controller, I beat father Gascoigne on my second try. And holy hell I can't wait to finish the game to play this boss fight again. I'm almost sad to have beat it so easily. I love this soundtrack, I've heard it only two times today but it's engraved in my head. I've played so little but it's immediate how the atmosphere of DS1 is carried in this game, that awesome depression that completly flattens you but that you can't have enough of. I knew I was going to like this game but holy hell, I absolutely love it. And it's only the second boss. Love it and love all of you guys.
Dude I literally started playing this game 2 days ago for the 1st time and I am already in love with this darn game holy moly this was something I least expected to enjoy, idk how but I managed to survive the sewers despite there being those disgusting lanky werewolf people and that area where those people burning a giant wolf on a so called cross (oh shoot nvm I remembered dying to those 2 BIG wolfs on the bridge and I somehow successfully collected my blood point currency thingy) and I ended up on that bridge with that flaming ball which reminded me of Indiana Jones, and I managed to get to Gascoign before The Cleric Beast (who I discovered on accident right after dying to Gascoign) and on my 1st attempt on both bosses I brought then to a quarter health. But man dying to Gascoign was BEST mistake because it allowed me to level up :'D I believe I can beat the Cleric Boss but I don't have the courage to do so but I'll try tomorrow, I have my Strength at 15, Stamina (Endurance) 14 and Health 14 and I forgot the other ones idk if do you think I can beat the Cleric Boss and Gascgoine or should I keep grinding till its too costly to level up my stats (Sorry for making this SUPER DUPER long Paragraph I just wanted to say my experience out loud)
Or Smash Bros. **Enters with a scene of a common fight between a few characters, only for the moon to turn red and Gascoigne showing up from nowhere, burying an ax in Mario's head.**
Going into this fight with 5 vials and 1 quicksilver makes it the most intense-feeling fight of the games. Looking for the perfect moment to use your one parry, it's exhilirating.
FromSoft have had amazing soundtracks in all their games headed by the Maestro Miyazaki. But Bloodborne really grips into the very entrails of the lore and game itself, intertwining with it in more ways than just being an amazing backdrop for intimidating fights. Consider where this track is presented, or presenting itself, to you. It is, for all intents and purposes, the FIRST bossfight. Cleric Beast is optional and might be considered tutorial level. But this guy, Gascoigne, the gloves come off. Bloodborne shows you its true colors. You step into the graveyard, you see another hunter slaying beasts. Someone just like you. But then, you can see him sniff, and he smells you. Without using his eyes, he pinpoints and addresses you. Telling you two things: one, you will become a beast and as such his prey. Two, every beast once was a man. And with this, he sets out for you. 0:25 is where you realize: there is a lot of trouble coming in my direction. As you proceed to take him on, barely having memorized the controls, this seasoned hunter comes at you with everything he's got. With every passing second, the tempo picks up, with a drumming, looming bass. Like a freight train, rumbling in the distance, coming towards you. The hairs on your back stand up, Gascoigne moves quicker, the fight gets ugly. You swing away and think you can do this. Until...1:36. Gascoigne shows his true face and all that crosses your mind is "Oh, you gotta be kidding me..." But there is no time for despair. Only panic, frantic trying to stay out of this monsters reach. You run, he leaps after you. You take cover behind the tombstones, he smashes them. All that's left to you is to charge in and fight with the only thing you have still going for you: your animalistic survival instinct, shedding all humanity aside. Clinging to life with fangs and teeth. Blood splashes by the bucket and suddenly.... it's all over. Gascoigne falls before you, a beast slain by a hunter. Someone who's seen it all and has killed God knows how many people and monsters, who has fought everything Yharnam can throw at you and still, you stand victorious. So, let me ask you one question: Who, then, is the real monster...? Welcome to Bloodborne, kid. May you enjoy your travels!
father gascoigne and gherman are the real muthappukin G's , they should make a mixtape together , straight outta Yharnam fighting 2 hunters with attitude
F**k the Great Ones comin` staight from the underground! A young outsiders got it bad because he is from out of town! And not the other hunters so choir thinks, they have the authorization to perform blood ministration!
This and the Blood Starved Beast theme are my two favorites from the game. The tension, the fear, the panic, the bloodlust... It's all encapsulated in these two songs for me.
When phase 2 hits it feels so freaking epic. It is like the best scene of the best horror movie you have ever seen. It is so shocking when he suddenly just goes wild. 10/10
Oh shit. I heard this line many times but didn't really know what he meant. At first I thought he meant your hunter hat which has a mask that covers your face. But maybe he's talking about your beasthood :O
DragonGodMillionare Possibly because Bloodborne was first meant to be set in the same universe as Demon's Souls, where people(Clerics specifically) will utter the word 'Umbasa'. I dont remember why, though, been a loooong time since Demon's souls.
Father Gascoigne truly was a hard boss, there is no denying that. As the 2nd (but not optional) boss you come across, he is very hard to defeat without cheesing him, or just spamming something like Molotov cocktails at him (which aren't supposed to effect him as bad as monsters until he transforms into one). I literally remember thinking, "He's so fucking swift! I barely have any time to react and dodge his attacks!" The very first time I fought him, and I only managed to take down maybe 1/10th of his health before dying. It was the moment where things got serious, and I started grinding. After several more deaths at Father Grascoigne's hands, I finally beat him and though I was happy on the outside, I knew that I killed a man who murdered his wife out of insanity, abandoned his daughters and was forced to remember painful memories as I play the music box. Out of the kindness of my heart and knowing that Gascoigne was insane when I met him, I never told the little girl her mother was dead, wanting to let her have hope she was alive until the night of the hunt was over. I destroyed the red broach to make sure that I never would.
Gascoigne is my favorite fight ever: hes swift af, way different to the first boss, outrageously good music, reminds me of Bram Stokers, and that phase 2 really takes you by surprise the first time around. However if you have gone through the game and got your parry down, hes not a chore the second time round - hes not cheap like some other bosses.... *looks at Laurence*
2/3 of the boss fight isn't hard since you can cheese it by taking advantage of his terrible AI with tombstones. The werewolf phase it a literal nightmare though...you have to dodge as quickly as possible while attacking with barely any time to heal.
Gascoigne: "Beasts all over the shop, you'll be one of them sooner or later." Me: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Dies......................................................

I think Gascoignes theme is perfection. Not only because it sounds great, but it perfectly represents the fight. The first phase has a deep powerful tone that has a seriousness that can't be mistaken. This is a hunter. But then it suddenly changes, becoming slightly horrifying as the beast inside emerges. It devolves from there into an aggressive fast paced soundtrack as the new hunter fights for their life against a feral beast that once was a proud hunter.
Truly a comment from a fellow hollow night player
Kinda like when the third Mantis Lord also stands up during the second phase of Pantheon 5 "Mantis Lords" fight and it turns into the Sisters of Battle fight then the music kicks in.

In my case I fucking jizzed my pants when I heard the boss theme that played on the 3rd phase. It distracted me and next thing I see is Gascoigne leaping towards me and completely beating the shit out of me.
My first death on that bossfight. xD
Yeah that happens to me so much xD I only pay attention to the music at the beggining of the boss fight, because when i actually start fighting, the music just seems to dispear and only get to listen to it again when i either die or kill the boss.

never played any souls before bloodborne, and this dude technically was my first souls game boss. very very unpleasant encounter.
it's faster paced than the other souls game, trust me i've played this and the souls games (not demon souls)
The game is, and I quote, teaching you how to really enjoy a souls game
the first few games teach you how not to, hiding behind a sheild and going for all out protection and damage, when in reality you want a good DPS and the ability to avoid enemy attacks
Go back to the other games with Bloodborne's message in mind
Playing all souls games before bloodborne really made it hard to defeat him of Cleric Beast. I was used to slow methodical style of boss fights. In BB you have to be aggressive. When my brother tried the game (no souls experience at all) he 2 shotted Cleric Beast. Feels bad man.
+BlaQ i guess you could say: "forget everything you think you know"
BlaQ oh so that's why cleric beast was easy
Calling him Father Gascoigne was brilliant. The game throws you a red herring that Gascoigne comes from a distant land, since Father isn't a term granted to church members. Of course, you realize he is indeed a father of a young girl, and when he hears you play the music box that once belonged to her, he actually staggers. Damn From, you just broke my heart with a little play on words.
In any other game, that music box would be a scripted event that plays a cutscene that makes Gascoigne angry, that would be lame but this is a FromSoft game, they put effort into making an awesome experience without that "trying to be like a movie" bullshit
SevenFingerDiscount so we kill sad man?
The music box is actually his and his wife's as his children are never named but his wife is called viola
***** Ahh. Well then. Maybe it was more a localization play on words...or I'm just wrong. That too :D
+PeteSabacker "Father" is also a term used for priests in the English language, I think what he meant is that the game's "Healing Church" group doesn't give the title Father because the descriptions of his clothes say "'Father' is a title used for clerics in a foreign land, and there is no such rank in the Healing Church."

This theme perfectly illustrates how Gascoigne is slowly being consumed by sent of blood and lust of the hunt. The pacing of the music increases like a mad mans heart rate, it becomes more sinister as if an inhuman force is taking over. He embraces the turn to beasthood...all for the hunt.
i think it would have been awesome if he appeared in the hunters nightmare too
also the time to pray and hope you survive.
I mean, pretty sure he was chopping up everyone in the graveyard, who weren't even beasts, including his wife, Viola.
@@watertommyzthere's a fan theory that the beasts killed her while he was on the hunt and that hate for his wife being killed fueled his bloodlust sending him into a rage killing everyone there to avenge his wife... Then you walk in as he's chopping away to fill a void
@@MozeKaliberthere was actual gameplay in a beta version were you teamed up for about the first half of Central Yarnham before he left to handle business, and then you found him like that.

Bloodborne's bosses are aggressive and require you to play aggressively. Gascoigne is a lot easier when you realize dodging at him is safer than trying to distance yourself from him.
I remember beating bloodborne first and jumping straight into Dark Souls III after, it was like hitting a wall at 200mph. Going back to defensive play, keeping a distance, wait for a chance to land hits was really hard for me.

This sound track conveys the feeling of the fight: You, a complete newcomer to Yharnam and the hunting business is about to go up against a true veteran hunter who's completely lost it.
And you don't stand a chance.
At least it feels that way until I get 3 parrys and ripostes (viscerals?) in a row
Like
That’s at 1:44
Indeed everyone probably banged their head against him for a while until he died. I know i struggled a ton on him. But in the end, i respawned and he didnt.
I didn't stand a chance before...These days, i whoop his ass.
I've never payed attention to the phase 2 part of the song. Too busy shitting my pants.
R- THAT’S THE BEST PART!
i heard the music all the way through the fight, made it more intense
Also the fact that i died at 3:05 to the end of the theme was pretty cool for me.
At that point the victor was decided, and that was Gascoigne and the good hunter was laying on the gorund lifeless.
yeah mee too. The first time I fought this guy I was really into it. I was watching some videos of people reacting to this boss and I was like, "wait a minute, is that the song?... wow".
the first time i fought him it was hard for me to hear the music
second try and i put the music up and fell in love with his music
Same. I don't recognize a lot of bloodborne music because of it
When Father Gascoigne stood up and said “It’s Bloodin Time” before the fight, I broke into tears! Truly the video game of all time! (serious this game is a masterpiece I’m on my first playthrough and I love it)
He said "its axin' time" and axed everyone over the shop. Truly the moment of all time

Just starting playing this week, from a huge Dark Souls fan, this is a master piece game and OST.
Bloodborne is my 1st game that I ever played from Fromsoftware I really wanted to try out one of the games before buying Dark Souls Remastered on the Switch (just the soundtrack alone made me want to get the game) I soon discovered that my older brother had gotten this game (I think from PS4 membership thingy) and I started playing it 2 days ago and I already fell in love with the game after karate chopping that stupid wolf in the beginning it took me almost an hour to beat it but I felt satisfied that I slayed it, I still don't get how I managed to get to Gascoigne 1st before the Cleric Beast but I ultimately died when I left him at a quarter health but that mistake was BEST mistake because I was finally able to level up my stats YAY :'D
Soon after that I went on that long wide bridge with the 2 wolves thinking there was more to Yharnam only to be jumpscared by the Cleric Beast (I never felt genuinely fear in the game I began to hear my heart thats how traumatized I was seeing that beast coming towards you and I wanted to flee but I saw there was some kind of barrier so the only option I had was kill or be killed) and I somehow got him to a quarter health before dying. This game really knows how to scare the player (;-;)

I remember asking my girlfriend to pick between me playing Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne (btw she knew nothing about either game or the genre in general). She chose Bloodborne because of the artwork on the cover. This was my first Souls game EVER and I tried to stay away from them because I knew they were hard. But I played anyways. Dying repeatedly as I made my way through Central Yharnam, leveling my axe, fighting through the sewers until I climb the ladder and stairs to see a graveyard. I knew this was a boss arena and I was nervous and scared because of all the other beasts I fought and raged to get here, but I stepped inside anyways. The cutscene plays to me watching in awe and horror of this man chopping away at the people I saw before and he turns to me to cut me down in his blood-crazed frenzy. I was overwhemled with his speed and aggressiveness. But as I fought him my 2nd, 3rd, and finally my 4th time I wasn't scared anymore. Just captivated by this amazing boss and character with this killer soundtrack. I slaughtered my first prey and felt that feeling that everyone felt when they overcame their first hard boss and I knew I had stumbled across a gem. Then I walked into the next section and got absolutely wrecked by the next enemies...Thanks FromSoft :) Lmao
This and Ludwig boss fight is exactly opposite. While Gascoigne goes from man to beast and the music goes awesome to frantic. Ludwig basically starts out as an abomination but goes to regain a bit of humanity, stands straight, and the music goes from creepy to goosebumps inducing.
I just love how Miyazaki absolutely FORCES new players to git gud in this game - and the game is so unapologetic about it.

This is what got my friend into souls games because the thought they were just BS mechanics. He saw me after I beat Gasciogne and then he had to do it himself. Took him 4 days nonstop. When he finally did beat it, not only was he hooked, he had leveled up his play so much he didn’t die to a single boss thereafter.
Everybody gangsta till you run out of music box usage
I always wanted to get started with Souls-like games but never knew were to start. Picked this up for free with the ps+ collection and this bossfight made me know that now…now I’m hooked.
I’m doing the same.
I love this Game, hope you have the DLC.
Shop all over the beasts
Sooner you'll one be of later, them

I bought the PS4 just for this game yesterday. It's my second From Soft game, coming from DS1 on PC. After a couple of hours getting familiar with the PS4 controller, I beat father Gascoigne on my second try. And holy hell I can't wait to finish the game to play this boss fight again. I'm almost sad to have beat it so easily. I love this soundtrack, I've heard it only two times today but it's engraved in my head. I've played so little but it's immediate how the atmosphere of DS1 is carried in this game, that awesome depression that completly flattens you but that you can't have enough of. I knew I was going to like this game but holy hell, I absolutely love it. And it's only the second boss.
Love it and love all of you guys.
Dude I literally started playing this game 2 days ago for the 1st time and I am already in love with this darn game holy moly this was something I least expected to enjoy, idk how but I managed to survive the sewers despite there being those disgusting lanky werewolf people and that area where those people burning a giant wolf on a so called cross
(oh shoot nvm I remembered dying to those 2 BIG wolfs on the bridge and I somehow successfully collected my blood point currency thingy) and I ended up on that bridge with that flaming ball which reminded me of Indiana Jones, and I managed to get to Gascoign before The Cleric Beast (who I discovered on accident right after dying to Gascoign) and on my 1st attempt on both bosses I brought then to a quarter health. But man dying to Gascoign was BEST mistake because it allowed me to level up :'D
I believe I can beat the Cleric Boss but I don't have the courage to do so but I'll try tomorrow, I have my Strength at 15, Stamina (Endurance) 14 and Health 14 and I forgot the other ones idk if do you think I can beat the Cleric Boss and Gascgoine or should I keep grinding till its too costly to level up my stats (Sorry for making this SUPER DUPER long Paragraph I just wanted to say my experience out loud)
My favourite character in the game. Even though he had little screen time. I wish he would be a guest character in a game like Soul Calibur 6
Or Smash Bros.
**Enters with a scene of a common fight between a few characters, only for the moon to turn red and Gascoigne showing up from nowhere, burying an ax in Mario's head.**
Gascoigne slashes into the fight!
Going into this fight with 5 vials and 1 quicksilver makes it the most intense-feeling fight of the games. Looking for the perfect moment to use your one parry, it's exhilirating.

FromSoft have had amazing soundtracks in all their games headed by the Maestro Miyazaki. But Bloodborne really grips into the very entrails of the lore and game itself, intertwining with it in more ways than just being an amazing backdrop for intimidating fights.
Consider where this track is presented, or presenting itself, to you. It is, for all intents and purposes, the FIRST bossfight. Cleric Beast is optional and might be considered tutorial level. But this guy, Gascoigne, the gloves come off. Bloodborne shows you its true colors.
You step into the graveyard, you see another hunter slaying beasts. Someone just like you. But then, you can see him sniff, and he smells you. Without using his eyes, he pinpoints and addresses you. Telling you two things: one, you will become a beast and as such his prey. Two, every beast once was a man. And with this, he sets out for you. 0:25 is where you realize: there is a lot of trouble coming in my direction. As you proceed to take him on, barely having memorized the controls, this seasoned hunter comes at you with everything he's got. With every passing second, the tempo picks up, with a drumming, looming bass. Like a freight train, rumbling in the distance, coming towards you. The hairs on your back stand up, Gascoigne moves quicker, the fight gets ugly. You swing away and think you can do this. Until...1:36. Gascoigne shows his true face and all that crosses your mind is "Oh, you gotta be kidding me..." But there is no time for despair. Only panic, frantic trying to stay out of this monsters reach. You run, he leaps after you. You take cover behind the tombstones, he smashes them. All that's left to you is to charge in and fight with the only thing you have still going for you: your animalistic survival instinct, shedding all humanity aside. Clinging to life with fangs and teeth. Blood splashes by the bucket and suddenly.... it's all over. Gascoigne falls before you, a beast slain by a hunter. Someone who's seen it all and has killed God knows how many people and monsters, who has fought everything Yharnam can throw at you and still, you stand victorious.
So, let me ask you one question: Who, then, is the real monster...?
Welcome to Bloodborne, kid. May you enjoy your travels!
I like how in NG+ this becomes YOUR boss music, I once skipped the beast phase because I did so much visceral damage
father gascoigne and gherman are the real muthappukin G's , they should make a mixtape together , straight outta Yharnam fighting 2 hunters with attitude
u sir take this W
F**k the Great Ones comin` staight from the underground!
A young outsiders got it bad because he is from out of town!
And not the other hunters so choir thinks, they have the authorization to perform blood ministration!
Haha that second Phase Part always plays when i'm too late to work and cant find my damn keys!
xDDD
Plays when you are away to go to the toilet but you see a giant NOPE spider standing on the seat, as it then proceeds to jump down and chase you.
When the toilet is occupied and you you realy have to use it xD
When the toilet has no toilet paper.
When you wake up after a rough night and cant find your wallet.
This and the Blood Starved Beast theme are my two favorites from the game. The tension, the fear, the panic, the bloodlust... It's all encapsulated in these two songs for me.
When phase 2 hits it feels so freaking epic. It is like the best scene of the best horror movie you have ever seen. It is so shocking when he suddenly just goes wild. 10/10
ahhh
the memories of panic and sweat and countless attepmt to avoid the stunlock
3:06 when there's no molotov
I love how the "tutorials" of Fromsothware games are like the final bosses of the other games.
Harder, much harder
Words cannot describe the sheer badassness of this soundtrack
Too proud to show your true face, eh? But a sporting hunt, it was!
Oh shit. I heard this line many times but didn't really know what he meant. At first I thought he meant your hunter hat which has a mask that covers your face. But maybe he's talking about your beasthood :O

Sick creature...may you rest in peace.
Umbasa.
Why did he say that in the demo.?
DragonGodMillionare
Possibly because Bloodborne was first meant to be set in the same universe as Demon's Souls, where people(Clerics specifically) will utter the word 'Umbasa'.
I dont remember why, though, been a loooong time since Demon's souls.
Father Gascoigne truly was a hard boss, there is no denying that. As the 2nd (but not optional) boss you come across, he is very hard to defeat without cheesing him, or just spamming something like Molotov cocktails at him (which aren't supposed to effect him as bad as monsters until he transforms into one). I literally remember thinking, "He's so fucking swift! I barely have any time to react and dodge his attacks!" The very first time I fought him, and I only managed to take down maybe 1/10th of his health before dying. It was the moment where things got serious, and I started grinding. After several more deaths at Father Grascoigne's hands, I finally beat him and though I was happy on the outside, I knew that I killed a man who murdered his wife out of insanity, abandoned his daughters and was forced to remember painful memories as I play the music box. Out of the kindness of my heart and knowing that Gascoigne was insane when I met him, I never told the little girl her mother was dead, wanting to let her have hope she was alive until the night of the hunt was over. I destroyed the red broach to make sure that I never would.
Gascoigne is my favorite fight ever: hes swift af, way different to the first boss, outrageously good music, reminds me of Bram Stokers, and that phase 2 really takes you by surprise the first time around. However if you have gone through the game and got your parry down, hes not a chore the second time round - hes not cheap like some other bosses.... *looks at Laurence*
2/3 of the boss fight isn't hard since you can cheese it by taking advantage of his terrible AI with tombstones. The werewolf phase it a literal nightmare though...you have to dodge as quickly as possible while attacking with barely any time to heal.
shadowboy 2 Well that’s what I said, without cheesing him (as in, using the tombstones for his first phase) he’s tough let alone his beast form.
Gascoigne: "Beasts all over the shop, you'll be one of them sooner or later."
Me: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
