I can't believe Mitch is only on 5k subscribers. This man has dedicated entire videos to topics that no one has even touched on before, not even Vaati.
Totally Agree! I have just recently discovered Mitch L., and I'm blown away by the depth he brings. Pthum, Loran and Isz have so many interesting mysterious lore implications. We need a 2nd game to uncover these hidden truths.
@K A Vaati does reference his sources and credits others. Originality is not his strongest aspect though and this is true.
Few have unlocked these level 3 lore TH-camrs. I can't wait to get to level 5.
@Luminexxe Vaati's presentation is where his lore videos shine
He’s at 36 k now! I just discovered him a week or so ago. The thing with vaati that I’ve heard oft repeated is that he takes from others quite often, whether or not it’s true idk, but the info is certainly out there to put a pretty bow on.
interesting detail i noticed about the messengers is that they appear to also exhibit the "pthumeru look".
TheArchpickle Very good observation, and well noted here.
I always thought the messengers looked like the bastard of loran item. Are messengers just stillborn infants that were afflicted with the scourge in loran?
@@SammyLevisosa very good question and they do look very similar in design!
It would make sense that beings like that would have the power to comunicate with another dimension
And yet they revere Hunters, who on the surface work to essentially end the Night. Interesting.
I can’t help but picture a makeup advert saying “get the pthumerian look”

Maybe it's Maybelline
One thing I really like about lakes being a barrier between planes of existence is that it can be applied to own real world. If you think about it romantically we live in an ocean of air with an ocean of water underneath us. Imagine a fish popping it's head just above the water or a deep sea creature being captured by air ocean beings. That sudden shock of seeing the unkown probably would send anything mad.
I would love to see The Shadow of Yharnam, the Forbidden Woods and it's emphasis of snakes being looked into and maybe find the link why you also find those same guys in the Nightmare of Mensis.
Fantastic videos as always.
Thanks for sticking around. The snakes really interest me. They seem to be another kind of parasite (seeing as they live in the bodies of hosts) similar to the parasite larvae that the Loran Silverbeasts spit out. There's also the fact that there seem to be enormous snake skeletons in the Chalice dungeons.
Mitch L That's an interesting point about snakes being parasites, which is also kinda backed up by that snake whistle guy once you crush a vermin item. Plus that snake Whistle scales with bloodtinge and considering the Shadow of Yharnam snake men use katanas, all this together points to a link to Cainhurst.
@@slightlytwistedagain I'm perhaps a bit late to comment, but the Shadows of Yharnam use a European sabre you uncultured swine.
There's a book called "The Grimoire of the Necronomicon" and in the introduction to the Old Ones, the author writes something along the lines of "Imagine fish swimming in a lake and you dip your hand in. The fish have no idea where your hand came from or where it will appear next nor can they discern what your full form could possibly look like based on just your hand. That is how the Old Ones are."
Another form of this is the Flatworld scenario or a 4-dimensional object coming into our 3-dimensional world.
If the sea is the barrier between humans and Great Ones, it makes sense that Yharnam is surrounded by the ocean; Yharnam is an island. Maybe Yharnam is the only city in the world who has discovered the Great Ones though? What if we're barricaded from everyone else and not the other way around?
Loran was a desert city that discovered the Great Ones as well but they angered them and were cursed with an ailment then swallowed up by the sea of sand.
@@neoinuyashafight Or maybe it was the lack of water that made them vulnerable to the great one's wrath
@@neoinuyashafight the ailment caused them to turn to blood, hence their fall to the scourge of beasts
Quick thing, the cosmic eye watchers badge says that the cosmos might be just above our heads. this to me shares themes with the Nightmares being layered, best seen with the fishing hamlet being above the hunters nightmare. So what if the eldrich truth is that this is all a dream, the dreams and whims of a greater being, maybe odin considering his omnipotente behavior. This would also bring a truth of dismissing the powerful beings that men are afraid of like rom and ebreitus. The truth is that none of the struggle matters.
Sorry if I sound a bit different in this vid, I had some dental stuff done so I sound a bit like a poindexter.
the background music you chose creeped me the fuck out.
Funny thing you talk about dental stuff because just now I noticed the teeth in the skull for Madman's Knowledge seem a little inhuman.
00Boogie Maybe I've been spending too much time in the Byrgenwerth library...
00Boogie Holy crap, I never noticed. They look vampyric of sorts. Maybe it's the skull of those transformed into beasthood, or maybe something to do with Cainhurst and the Vilebloods?
I know this is a stretch but has anyone considered that Blood Borne is Dark Souls age of water as Sullivan predicted? After all a lot of Blood Borne is to do with liquids of some kind...just a thought.
Well I do think that speculations about a connection between different soul titles is arguably currently not back up by much evidence I would contend that it is far from impossible to assume that many of the realms we explore in these titles are connected after all.
Finally found some time to keep up with all your videos! :D
I love the Pthumerians and the little we know about their society, so it's great that you're digging deep into their history as much as possible. When I noticed that many pthumerians had the 'Scream' look on their face, I istantly thought of this passage from 'The Haunter of the Dark' by H.P Lovecraft:
"Students (...) noticed the blurred white face at the westward window on the morning of the 9th, and wondered what was wrong with the expression. When they saw the same face in the same position that evening, they felt worried, and watched for the lights to come up in his apartment. Later they rang the bell of the darkened flat, and finally had a policeman force the door. The rigid body sat bolt upright at the desk by the window, and when the intruders saw the glassy, bulging eyes, and the marks of stark, convulsive fright on the twisted features, they turned away in sickened dismay."
In the story, poor Robert Blake just witnessed the apparition of one of the many forms of Nyarlathotep after attracting the attention of the Outer God through a relic named the Shining Trapezohedron ;)
In Bloodborne words, he witnessed the Eldrich Truth.
Good to see you back! That's a great passage as well. What story is it from?
It's from 'The Haunter of the Dark', a story that HPL wrote for his friend Robert Bloch, the author of Psycho.
MalakiaLaGatta Whoops, sorry I didn't realise you put "The Haunter of the Dark" in the comment, sorry for my blindness. Thanks!
It's okay ;)
Very interesting video !
On the topic of water and its relation to the eldritch truth, I read something interesting yesterday. It's a development that Michel Foucault makes in his book "Madness and civilization" in order to understand the medieval ritual of getting rid of madmen by sending them away on a boat. He tries to understand the symbolism behind this practice.
I think it's worth quoting at length :
« Thus we better understand the curious implication assigned to the navigation of madmen and the prestige attending it. On the one hand, we must not minimize its incontestable practical effectiveness: to hand a madman over to sailors was to be permanently sure he would not be prowling beneath the city walls; it made sure that he would go far away; it made him a prisoner of his own departure. But water adds to this the dark mass of its own values; it carries off, but it does more: it purifies. Navigation delivers man to the uncertainty of fate; on water, each of us is in the hands of his own destiny; every embarkation is, potentially, the last. It is for the other world that the madman sets sail in his fools’ boat; it is from the other world that he comes when he disembarks. The madman’s voyage is at once a rigorous division and an absolute Passage. In one sense, it simply develops, across a half-real, half-imaginary geography, the madman’s liminal position on the horizon of medieval concern - a position symbolized and made real at the same time by the madman’s privilege of being confined within the city gates: his exclusion must enclose him; if he cannot and must not have another prison than the threshold itself, he is kept at the point of passage. He is put in the interior of the exterior, and inversely. A highly symbolic position, which will doubtless remain his until our own day, if we are willing to admit that what was formerly a visible fortress of order haw now become the castle of our conscience.
Water and navigation certainly play this role. Confined on the ship, from which there is no escape, the madman is delivered to the river with its thousand arms, the sea with its thousand roads, to that great uncertainty external to everything. He is a prisoner in the midst of what is the freest, the openest of routes: bound fast at the infinite crossroads. He is the Passenger par excellence: that is, the prisoner of the passage. »
I think it echoes many themes of the souls games
Epic! I've always been interested in this subject. Keep it up man.
Great to see you here! Thanks, ST.
Happy to be here, you produce quality content.

You know, i always thought that was lightning throughouy his skull until you got me a close up, where i realized that those are actually slugs in this guy's head, with perhaps an older or more powerful slug in the middle.
It also looks like there's cosmo dust, or space in the background behind the slugs.
What does that mean, i wonder?
I realise I'm 2 years late. Blacksky Eye shows how Phantasms can infest an eyeball, normally one that is owned by someone with a great deal of Insight. It essentially says that the eye contains its own pocket dimension filled with a constant meteor shower, and rubbing the eye releases them, so it's certainly possible that ones mind could have stardust-like qualities around it if it is "blessed".
magnificent work, this is by far the deepest Bloodborne lore video ever
Every one of you're videos brings me into the world of Bloodborne more. Excellent work, Mitch!
Man, I've watched a few of your lore videos but this one blew it wide open for me. It was especially impactful as I had previously watched your previous vid on the relation of the Loran civilization to Pthumeru. I didn't walk away from that one with any clear ideas in my head - was just left pondering - but the drive and impact of this subject matter found me in lockstep with every spoken word, man.
"Great volumes of water serve as a bulwark guarding sleep, and an augur of the eldritch Truth.
Overcome this hindrance, and seek what is yours."
It makes sense that when you "etch" this rune into your mind that the mind and body would become fortified; the rune serving as a bulwark to those who remember the words of the Great Ones (through Caryll's runework).
It also sounds to me like a description of the body of water safehousing Rom, who is essentially an augur of the Eldritch Truth. When you defeat Rom, you are "rewarded" with a wider vision of the world around the Hunter.
This is just using Rom as an example. There's a good chance that this is something that has happened in the past, without the scourge of the beast possibly. In fact, I'm sure it's happened before since the hunters continue to sustain the dream in what appears a never ending cycle until the player hunter arrives.
Why have I never seen your Bloodborne lore videos before? Brilliantly done, and thanks for putting all the time and effort into making content like this. Bloodborne = Greatest Game Ever.
My thoughts on the 'lake' runes was that the coma there before the 'end' doesn't make much sense if it where to say 'water guards sleep and an augur'. I am under the impression that 'large volumes of water serve as a bulwark, and also serve as an augur'. Someone that interprets the truth and you can observe, a go-between. Handy, but in the end an obstacle between you, and the truth itself.
I know I'm quite late, but I thought I'd watched all BB lore videos. Just found your channel and have a new font, thank you!
I haven't played Bloodborne in over a year but your videos are really making me want to dive into it's lore again.
Not sure if its related but in the flammarion engraving when the man looks through the firmament he see's a wheel in the middle of a wheel. This wheel of wheels is known as Ophanim. The Ophanim wheels are said to be celestial beings covered in eyes and are even referred to as the "many eyed ones". I just thought that interesting considering the insight and eye references in the game.
Holy shit. I'm so annoyed that I missed that. I think I'm going to make a follow up vid just to discuss that point. Thank you.
Wait is that like how biblically accurate angels occasionally have a multitude of eyes/the appearance of wheels within wheels?
@@brokenbeta9922 yes
Wow this was great , very in depth analysis . Also clear and interesting!
Ancient Mesopotamians also carried out augur rituals (using sheeps livers). Mesopotamian myths are so fascinating, and must've inspired Lovecraft directly, there's just too many similarities.
Dagon is a big proof
This channel is high class. Love the reference to lil' chickpea. The breadth of reference you draw upon is apt, and adds a fascinating dimension to your content. Glad the algorithm blessed me with these literal gems. My only critique might be that your voice sounds somewhat disinterested in its delivery, but only a bit.
Thanks!
If this theory is real, than Miyazaki is definitely a master mind genius to put so much detail's
I think the Brain Fluid is literally a bulwark inside the collective Hunters' skull, a sort of blood brain barrier for Eldritchness. Redgrave has a great video on Caryll Runes, and how they're an attempt to capture the speech of the Great Ones, who can be thought of as gods in the sense that, in their native plane, they have the ability to speak reality into existence (the Hunters Dream seems like it was created this way, with Flora 'speaking' the Workshop into the dreamscape using things inside Gehrman's head).
Still with me? Right, so, Brain Fluid, from which internal eyes are derived, was collected and condensed in the Research Hall in order to, basically, line-produce Madman's Knowledge. This would allow the early Church, or even pre-Church Byrgenwerth to delve deeper without succumbing to madness from the weight of this 'speech' which is, again, "Let There Be Light" tier stuff, at least under the right conditions.
I would bet that internal eyes are wounds/burns/scars in the fluid caused by 'hearing' a Great One, and Caryll eventually worked out a way to recreate these wounds...mechanically, as it were. For Willem, Laurence, and company: since there was no real attempt to control for any variables when they started, Byrgenwerth could only figure out what was happening in hindsight, which probably involved a lot of looking at these eyes in autopsy and trying to figure out "okay, so Scholar Insertname took this kind of blood, went to that part of the labyrinth, has *this* design in his brain, and turned into that kind of beast..."
Very interesting. I like the idea of humans having internal bulwarks. I need to go re-watch some of Redgrave's videos. I really wish he would come back to make more stuff. He's a genius. There's also the concept that the Research Hall was being used to create Blood Saints as well, seeing as Adeline becoming a vessel for Old Blood allowed her to attribute "legitimacy" to the Healing Church, which is something I'm really interested by.
TOO MUCH INSIGHT
hehehrhehrhehrhe Pthumeru Look is reference to the "Innsmouth Look"
Something interesting for the community to think about in regards to what you said about the real life Sumerians; in the Bible there's several verses about the creation and the separation of certain layers mainly known as the firmaments and the heavens (plural). Now the Sumerians if memory serves, have the oldest recorded written works in human history, some +5,000 years old. Which means that like the nation started by Abraham they would have been around to hear of the creation stories. The Sumerians you said believed we were in a massive dome. This seems to check out with the Bible verses. Paul stated (when he was stoned to death) that he was caught up to the third heaven when he was told that his time on the earth was not done yet. Looking through all the times it mentions the layers of our reality, the bible mentions the heavens (the skies) where birds fly, the heavens (space) where the stars are hung. And then it mentions a third heaven. One beyond both of these. Psalm 14, chapter 8 verse 4: "Praise him, ye highest heavens, and ye waters above the heavens." I think this means there might be a layer like an ocean beyond the furthest stars. So far that beyond it is the third heaven. Where God dwells, assumedly. Like we're in a sort of snow globe, for lack of a better analogy. This would mean that the Sumerians in the same area as the jews would have a very similar origin story and concept of reality. One that the Bloodborne writers might have used as inspiration.
Very insightful. Thank you for that analysis. Topically, NASA has discovered "clouds" of water on the edge of our galaxy and between galaxies. For future reference, Jew is singular and Jewish refers to traditions or behavior, but as a people they would be known as Hebrew, just like their language. I believe so, anyway. That's according to a friend of mine who is an orthodox Jew from the Tribe of Dan. Of course, he could be incorrect, too, (we're all human and thus flawed, prone to mistakes), but from what I recall from my studies of the King James translation of the Old Testament that sounds right to me.
The chapel dweller is a Pthumerian. Change my mind.
I believe you. Maybe during the day he begs outside and his pale pthumerian skin was burnt
@@friendoftheoyster3906and that's also explains why he's blind too !
It seems that you had an epiphany and realised part of the eldritch truth…
you might want to check the original japanese for item descriptions.
fantastic, your videos r brilliant, so much thought n effort goes into them, n inlays off to, u go DEEP man :-D top effort n thanks for that ;-)
Thank you!
Never would have thought of the firmament and all this...Miyazaki truly is a prophet. Good job man love your vids!
there was also a lagarius wheel in that painting!
I still play the game to this day, and having all the games revisited again before Elden Ring made me realize how impressively but subtly connected all the games are.
This is my personal belief through my own experience, opinion, perception, and some lore sources, but I personally believe the Eldritch Truth and the contact with the Great Ones are linked in a way I haven't seen anyone speak of yet. We see in the games how, just like in the Universe, energy is not destroyed, but changes constantly. In Demon Souls, you are contacted by a Great One after absorbing all the souls of the old kings, and in Bloodborne the Moon Presence is brought upon the lure of a Great One infant, which after being gave birth, an umbilical cord can be extracted. As we see through the games, soul power constantly changes, bringing upon new forms (fire, light, dark, crystal magic). These Soul Power even starts manifesting in blood like in Farron Legion, and Gael's blood after consuming the Dark souls of Man, given to the pigmy kings of the Ringed City.
So, given this insight, what if the Eldritch Truth is the very origin of Soul Art, given through time upon the constant consumption of souls and blood?
Thanks for bearing with my awful writing lol
you ever consider that the dream Aldrich had from ds3 was a prediction of the events in bloodborne to a certain extent? I can't remember word for word but you say the great ones are related to water in some manner. Could that not have been the oceans of dark Aldrich saw or has this already been answered?
Good catch! I do believe all the games take place in the same world at different times. You caught another good puzzle piece
@@Brightandheavy agreed!
It was state time after time that they are separated world, the souls always had some kind of lovecraftian influence on them, not only bloodborne
To me, the talk of seas and lakes and oceans are interchangeable with the cosmos, in speaking of not only space but different realities and dreams, for they all have depths that may be set but unknown to us who cannot explore them. The dome to me is a border between our own reality and the other ones that include dreams as well, but to see past it would drive one if they were unprepared or of limited imagination and intelligence.
Great video!
A fantastic video, even a year and a half later im still obsessed with the lore. One thing I'd like your opinion on, and it relates to the theme of great bodies of water and the eldritch truth being hidden within it, are the various sea monster carcasses littered throughout the chalice dungeons. There is even one by the first lamp in the fishing hamlet. After I looked closer they look like toothed-whale bodies; like dolphins or orcas. but they're found ALL over the dungeons at any depth. i'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Absolutely! That's actually a topic that's interested me, particularly the large snake-like skeleton. Definitely a link there between that, the Madaras twins, and the Forbidden Woods.
I forget if there are a number of different models of the same creature or if they're all the same model placed everywhere in the game, and though it has a very serpentine-like body, the skull most closely resembles some kind of toothed whale. and thats what gets me. but maybe you'll be able to get a better look at it(im not in town so im unable to play) but im really confident is not a snake but some sea creature(im a creature design so i know lots of about this stuff). so yea if you need help with anything just shoot me a message
Wonder if it is possible that bloodborne takes place after the age of dark and the age of deep from Aldrich visions, a time in which humanity has long sense forgotten the tales of flame and gods, a time in which those that can from the encroaching darkness have found their way not through their own, but through the barrier being disturbed, long forgoing their forms as they were or forgetting them entirely over the ages past, and like Gwyn before them they place a curse upon humanity, the blood in a way being connected to the soul(echoes of much stronger and just as addictive source of power), through this awakening the old gods have both awoken and begun to grasps at the light of this new age throwing everything into a repeat cycle as they are both awakening and remembering slowly what they are.
The idea that the pthumeru look is caused by surprise and shock is hilarious, it really tickles me.

Because You're Worth It
(L'oreal joke)
Dammit now I wanna make more BB jokes about fashion/hair care products 😅
Maybe she's Borne with it
Maybe it's Maybelline 😆
Mitch please take a breather it sounds like you inhale after every sentence lmao (ive watched your videos for a while now but just now noticed lol) but either way love the video ♡
Mitch can you make a video on the motivations of the Great ones and what they want from humans?
Great vid man ! Very informative !
Thank you!
By the way, a friend of mine told me that Rom was actually a student of Willem that managed to ascend to become a great one. I haven't found any evidences supporting this but it seems like an interesting theory. what do you think ?
Bunnies WithKnives It's possible. I think at the very least Rom was a person before he/she became a giant spider. You can pretty clearly see the outline of a human face on the "head" of Rom.
You're probably right :) The fact that he/she has so many eyes may come from the "Grant us eyes, grant us eyes" that Willem was so fond of. So, why does he want to "hide" the Bloodmoon ? What interest does he/she have in not letting the other great ones "come down" (so to speak) to earth. Am I completely missing something or just completely wrong ?
Bunnies WithKnives I think Willem was always the more responsible scholar. He had respect for the Great Ones, relatively speaking. Mensis is kind of the worst example of Human-Great Ones relations, with Micolash chaining up and torturing Great Ones and the like. I think that Willem is just smarter, in a way.
A topic I would love to see explored in the future is Caryll, their identity and their relationship with the Great Ones. The whole topic fascinates me (and confuses me) to no end: how could Caryll, presumably a simple scholar, grasp the meaning of the "inhuman sounds " many of the runes speak about? Was this meaning branded into the mind of the runesmith by the Great Ones themselves, or did Caryll understand their words in a way similar to how we experience, say, music?
Laura Guglielmo I can't remember where I read it but I'm pretty sure Caryll's method of rune-work was just an alternate way of learning about the Great Ones without partaking in the Old Blood.
With that said, it's possible that he studied those who partook in the Old Blood and simply recorded what he saw.
Yes it's entirely possible, but still I wonder how he or she went about translating visions or impressions into symbols, symbols that have the very concrete ability to change those who receive them (I'm very much convinced that the runes do not simply work because of gameplay reasons).
Laura Guglielmo Maybe the "Left Behind" Great One (Ebrietas) has something to do with that? Wasn't Ebrietas the one who bridged the gap between man and the Greats?
Mhh yes that sounds plausible, and since Caryll is a Byrgenwerth scholar I suspect that Rom could also have played a part in that. I'd really like to have a reliable timeline of events, like: did Caryll operate before or after Rom's transformation at Byrgenwerth? When did the "discovery" of Ebrietas take place?
Brilliant
Nice theory. It makes sense.
Have you seen Last Protagonist's video on the Eldritch Truth? The term "Eldritch Truth" seems to be a product of translation, and the original word used is the same word that was used for the Arcane stat. So whenever you encounter the phrase "eldritch truth", you can easily substitute "knowledge of magic", or even simply just "magic" and you'd have an accurate translation. Might seem a little lame, but if you're used to living in a world where things make sense and have logical explanations, learning that magic exists and cannot be comprehended would certainly be terrifying.
Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's the Eldritch Truth. Get the Pthumeru Look today!
The desc. of the Madman's knowledge may not just means sonething in the context of Bloodborne, but may state a philosophycal approach to it. Even is someone's losing itselfes mind, it becames a bearer of the Truth, in essence strenghtening it in the mortal world to be realised.
I wonder if it is possible to assume that the "eldritch truth" could be also a manifestation of a Great Ones. I'm looking particularly at Ebrietas the Daughter of the Cosmos. She is to belied, what the Byrgenwerth Scholars encounted underneath the Tombs. The Madness aquired by Dores could be a result of a contact between Ebrietas and him. What do you guys think of the idea ? I'm very open to opinions
Cool vid
Bit late to the show but an auger is also a giant screw to cut through frozen ice on a lake, or body of water. Also, drill like, into other things. Cutting through to the cosmos?
When you said the stuff about the lake being revealed, a theory I had became even stronger: Rom discovered and understood the Eldritch Truth and thus became that "Spider". And also now I can add that Rom actually has the abbility to communicate with the Great Ones.
That's true. It also furthers the possibility that discovering the Eldritch Truth might affect how someone looks, physically.
Mitch L Yeah, I mean, Rom might even been the one who wrote the notes about the Umbilical Cords in the Lecture Hall. When the player does the thing with the cords, he/she will become an infant great one, maybe Rom did the same and thus became the augur.
True Daemon Pictures I'm not so sure about that. Vacuous, according to Paleblood Hunt means stupid, giving the idea that Rom was not intelligent enough to understood these kinds of truths
The "Eldrtich Truth" is knowledge of the Arcane. I think that definitely gets lost on translation.
Great little think tank you got going here Mitch L! Just an FYI - Munch is pronounced «monk».
i dont know if any one noticed but in the dlc there is a dead great one is it possible that the brain with eyes that is chained up in that tower that gives off frenzy is its body and the queston is who had that kind of power to do that to a great one?
3:03
Looks like the Home alone face
Something that has always confused me is the way we ascend to a Great One in the third ending. When we kill The Moon Presence is that the moment we find the truth, or at the end have we already found the truth and simply need a fully fledged Great One to die on our blade to give us up to a higher plane. Or does the Eldritch Truth have nothing to do with physically ascending at all?
Rom ascended physically, but was still oblivious to the Eldritch Truth.
Papa Whitebeard I think we were already undergoing some sort of change by the time we fight the Moon Presence, as it leaps backwards when it tries to embrace us meaning we were changed enough for it to recognise that we were not fully human anymore. Shortly after the Moon Presence is killed, our transformation is complete.
Is it me or does the glowing thing in the madman's knowledge resembles a squid or a shellfish? If it is so then that would link the eldritch truth to the great ones by a large factor.
magesh muralidhar it reminds me of the kos parasite which would make sense as they infected the minds of the fishing hamlet villagers
You a tamilian bro? If u are,add me on PS4: speedy panda456. Good to see a fellow Indian like bloodborne.
It actually reminds me of that "A call beyond" thing..
Maybe ROM is like the auger or something, he's the Lake in/or.
Huh, I just assumed those guys were just unexplained zombies. I just kind of accepted that From is obsessed with the undead.
what i find very interesting is the i dea of a sea. aldrich from dark souls 3 is said to have had visions of the age of a deep sea. does this mean anything? or is it merely an easter egg?
The Great Ones impregnated humans for offspring, since they were sympathetic to humans and hostile to the other great ones. Iosefka was pregnant( I don't know with whom), Queen Yharnam was pregnant with Mergo and One Umbilical cord you find in Abandoned Hunter Workshop and With Wilhelm. Now I don't know who Wilhelm was trying contact, anyway this last cord was probably beared by Gehrman making contact with Kos in the Fishing Hamlet, since he was the first hunter and maybe with an alliance was tasked to investigate the place. In the Hunter's dream, We battle Maria who is Gerhman's love interest and later the child from Kos's carcass. Kos and Maria are speculated to be the same identity just in different forms, thus Gehrman was in love with the Great One Kos and Orphan of Kos his child.
The pthumeru woman scare the shit outta me😂
That's such a common Munch's Scream misinterpretation :/
i think the eldritch truth is very simple : the great ones still live.
In the picture for the 'Great One's Wisdom', there are snails coming out of the skull. Snails also appear in the fishing hamlet in barrels and I think inside some enemies.
Maybe the eldrich truth is that the great ones are relatives of human species that's why women can be impregnated by them and people can ascend/evolve into great ones.
I am Eldritch. I am half human half great one. I create the connection of contact between the two.
Eldritch- Aldrich
2:48 WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT AND WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE
HOLY SHIT IM TERRIFIED
They only appear in the dungeons
Do you think how it would be if we didn't kill Andrew Ryan? Maybe we would've played Putt-Putt in his office instead of bashing our father's head in? Do you think the little girls would've still been saved that day? Ever since that night I've wondered what would've happened had we been a better son..
less steak for lorehunters !!!
𝚆𝚑𝚊t garb is that’s being worn I. The beginning
Tomb prospector + old hunters hat
.......random buuuuuut.....Dr. Manhattan would cake walk through everything in this game 😂😂 he would probably laugh at the Moon Presence
He'd definitely go through the basic enemies sure. But the more powerful great ones like formless oedon and kos? Manhattan's power was manipulation of existing reality. Kos and the moon presence alone can do this (evidenced by things like the red moon hanging low), and they can also create their own realities with only a thought. Manhattan is powerful but he's not omnipotent
You did one big mistake here - Water serves as defensive wall (gurding the sleep) and augur of eldritch Truth. - You said water is protecting an augur, but water is augur ilself !!!
Hmm for some reason your vids are not showing up in my sub box I had thought for a moment that you had not made a vid in months glad to know that is not true.
where is the pthumerian look from? easy fashion-borne goes too far sometimes.

Because You're Worth It
The truth is despite only being 13% of the population...
How about a video on why Brador and the player character are wearing the same foreign garb?
Possibly, although Redgrave already has a very convincing video on that. Have you seen it? I think it's called the Hunter's Origins or something.
+Mitch L Ive seen it, just an interesting topic so I wanted your opinion :)

Ullenes12 I'll consider looking into it in more detail at some point :)
Bloodborne takes a lot of inspiration from the Cthulhu Mythos and I think that has a lot to do with what the Eldritch truth is.
funny it's called the eldrich truth as well lol
The guy in The Scream who appears to be screaming isn't.
He's actually reacting to a scream which he hears.
What's up with Bloodborne 2 yo?
Are the pthumerians undead creatures?
No
Wait what the fuck, those Labyrinth Madmen are actually former Church members? What makes you think that? I always assumed they were just regular Pthumerians.
The following is the description of the Sage from the Future Press Guide book for Bloodborne (written in part and supervised by Fromsoft):
"The Healing Church holds no regards for pious men nor saints; in their avid lust for knowledge they turned the once holy into the utterly abominable."
Add onto this that these enemies drop Sages Hair and Sages Wrists, body parts of Blood Saints, trained vessels for purifying the Old Blood. These enemies are former Blood Saints of the Healing Church, offered to the Watchers so Tomb Prospectors/hunters/whoever could enter the Chalice Dungeons.
Oh I see... but then why do they look like Pthumerians? I mean the body shape, the white skin, the face, just everything. That should mean the church could turn people into full-fledged Pthumerians, right? And I don't know if that's true.
Dank Sloth Something I should have clarified in the video is that the "Pthumeru Look" does not only apply to Pthumerians, meaning the description you provided. Pthumerians are quite literally "superhuman," yet some of the enemies in the chalice dungeons fit that look and are not "superhuman," they are just "Watchers."
My theory in the video was getting at the possibility that the look of the mouth and the eyes and the skin and everything was a bi-product of spending too much time in the Chalice Dungeons, discovering the Eldritch Truth, and going mad.
Mitch L Hmm yeah, that's definitely a possibility. I mean they sorta do look terrified or as if they were screaming, almost like they encountered something horrifying or something that was too much for them to comprehend. Queen Yharnam for example is Pthumerian too and she doesn't have the "Pthumeru look". Definitely a good point you got there
hey m8 the eldritch truth is the realization that there are infinitely powerful, indifferent beings occupying the same universe as us. Lovecraft is gr8 m8
How DARE you use Krzysztof Penderecki when I'm watching this alone. Haha
But he's sooooooooooooo good!
I still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard his Threnody . . .
i'm not gonna play fking league of legends alright!!!
Dores
It's pronounced like doors not Doris!
Like spores isn't pronounced sporis!
You use far too many non canonical sources that aren’t in game references. That’s inherently speculative by definition and thus bad lore hunting. Cherry picking any outside reference that suits a theory opens the door for anyone and everyone to do the same with literally any off the wall theory they can come up with. I wish you’d limit yourself to in game source material and cut out the more philosophical speculative portions. I think some of what you have here is solid but quite a bit isn’t.
It’s all a bit of fun and the creators themselves admit you can fill in the gaps yourself. I never said I was the gospel truth about anything
You butcher lore .... how you have more subs that Aegon JSF and redgrave is beyond belief
STOP BREATHING THROUGH YOUR NOSE AFTER EVERY SENTENCE! This video is interesting but unwatchable..
