Shame you can't attach the pistol to a katana, then you could be a shoGUN! Real talk, I started a Blunderbuss only run and...let's say I dropped that idea pretty quickly 😂
It's like the Pest Theads spell in Elden Ring, it does like no damage at the begining yet somehow ends up being the hardest hitting gun when you reach 99BT and have a good gem.
13:00 SO when humanity was first "blessed" with the old blood, there where 2 main kingdoms who got the "gift" before anyone else the kingdom of Pthumeru and the kingdom of Loran, the nobles of each kingdom seem to had very close relations to the old ones because their bloodlines got double blessed, not only did they get access the blood but also because they gained unique abilities that get more pronounced the more they're exposed to the old blood, meanwhile people who are "impure" don't really get anything besides pure physical strength Loran nobles gained the power to produce and control blue electricity (probably using their own bone marrow as fuel) and Pthumeru nobles gained the power to produce and control flames using their blood as fuel Reminder that Cainhurst nobility are direct descendants from Pthumeru nobility, Lady Maria herself shows her unique Pthumeru blood supernatural powers when we fight her, first she tries to rely on her skill only, then on her skill + elite Cainhust techniques (the blood manipulation) but when neither work she starts using her Pthumeru gift and sets her own blood on fire for devastating effect TLDR, the reason that ONE beast can use fire is because whoever that beast used to be before transforming they were someone very closely related to Cainhurst/Pthumeru Nobility, so much so that even after losing most of their humanity they can still use a very basic version of their fire-blood powers Rule of thumb every time you see a beast use elemental powers if they use electricity, their blood is more closely related to Loran, if the use fire their blood is more closely related to Pthumeru, if they use neither/use arcane powers or they rely on plain toxicity and disease or straight up pure physical strength, then they're either someone of extremely impure/diluted descent and/or they're entirely unrelated to either kingdom, like our main character or Rom the Spider. The ONLY exception to this rule being Laurence who uses fire because he died by being burned alive shortly after transforming and he probably got so traumatized he uses fire in the hunters' nightmare
But why don’t any other pthumerians use fire powers? The watcher with demon dogs and the shadow uses external fire sources and we don’t see chalice dungeon pthumerians generate fire, just use flaming weapons, right? Or do the pthumerian elders generate fire? I can’t remember
Isn't the way that humans hunt to chase down the targets until they are exhausted? so then the beasts would be tired _and_ have to deal with the smell lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial Yeeeeees, IF we give ourselves the generous assumptions that the incense ALWAYS activates a flight response in ALL beasts (natural and transformed alike) no matter the circumstance, AND that hunters can carry enough bones to burn on the go, AND that, most importantly, hunters have AT LEAST equal to or perhaps even slightly greater stamina/endurance when running than the beasts they're hunting (which is DUBIOUS at best), then yes it is theoretically possible (but not probable) that hunters could use persistence hunting to hunt... A SINGULAR BEAST... over course of perhaps SEVERAL HOURS... Or you know, they could instead just use advanced boom boom sticks, stabby stabby sticks and the blood of woman Cthulu to kill said same beast in SECONDS and then be ready to take on another beast right afterwards. ( Or anything that isn't a beast as well that is hostile to the hunters.) TL;DR: Persistence hunting MIGHT be possible, but even if it was, it would be WILDLY RESOURCE- AND TIME-INEFFICIENT compared to just gunning and stabbing the beasts mano a mano when the hunters have access to modern (for the time period) firearms, meelee weaponry and magical eldritch healing juice. Also persistence hunting is a niche hunting strategy that would only work on creatures that are afraid of/ repelled by incense. (P.S: Huge fan, love your vids, keep up the great work buddy, you always find a way to make me laugh. 🥰🥰)
13:00 bloodborne lore buff here! answer: we don't really know fr though it's likely because that specific beast is not a normal yharnam beast, it's pthumerian. In the pthumerian chalice dungeons, aside from the actual animals (rats, dogs, spiders), the only beasts that appear are the beast-possessed souls (mr fireballs). This implies that the pthumerians themselves, understanding the blood a lot better, never had a beast plague, which is backed up by the pthumerians (and their cainhurst descendants) being able to do blood magic & stuff. When they created a beast, it was intentional, and given that the beast-possessed soul is one of the rare few beasts to possess horns, it seems as though their beasts were religiously significant, similar to the cleric beasts (as well as the loran clerics, different horned beasts from the chalice dungeons that also use pyromancies) the pthumerians also just kinda have pyromancy. The shadows of yharnam, pthumerian elder, and the keeper/watchdog of the old lords, can all use fire magic. Maria, who is from cainhurst, and thus a pthumerian descendant, also has her fire stuff in her fight. Not clear where their pyromancy comes from, but it's just something they can do. One of the chalice descriptions does explicitly say that the pthumerians are superhumans, likely gaining that status from their ethical blood intake, so maybe pyromancy just happens when you're a beast but like you're not a dick about it. They lived symbiotically alongside the sleeping great ones, so they were allowed to take the blood & use it. Yharnamites were too british for their own good so they just took it by force & died anyway, the beast-possessed soul at the bottom of the healing church workshop tower was likely there as a beast-killer. In the chalice dungeons, if you find a beast-possessed soul outside of a boss arena, they will kill other enemies themselves. They can even follow you into boss arenas, and get healed by the choir bell, which is a really fun interaction. This seems to suggest that the church caught on to the increased sapience of these beasts, relative to the ones they were used to, and kidnapped one to use as a weapon
Thank you for the explanation my friend! That's interesting that they would follow you into the boss arena, i'll have to try that if I ever do a run with chalice dungeons haha
@@beetlevoidd6496 what I took away from your incredibly detailed explanation which was very generous of you to write, btw, is that if someone isn't a dick, they get cool fire magic powers where are MY cool fire magic powers???

@@WorldGoodsno its illegal and they check very thoroughly. The only way is if its declared and the paperwork is done with the host nation in order to hunt like those safari hunts in Africa. Other than that unless youre some kind of government official theres just no way.
For the beast possessed soul's fire magic: it's an arcane art of lost Loran, where the beast was unearthed. For the incense question, that's what's in the hunter's torch. the church probably doesn't give the stuff out to non-church hunters, though.
13:18 I was literally about to come type a comment to ask if it was an intentional Dr. Evil reference but then you immediately answered my question lmao
2:39 I immediately thought of HeliBacon. It's a hilariously American company in Texas that lets anyone who can afford a seat the chance to hunt wild boars from a helicopter with a variety of guns. Belt-fed machine guns, SMGs, shotguns, carbines, a friggin' BAR... sadly no flintlock pistols.
ah yes, I didn't know the name of it but I've heard of it. Actually a friend of mine was looking into doing it because there was a boom in boar population so the price went down a bit? like 1k a seat or something? Idk that was last year maybe haha
FYI the incense used to ward away beasts is Rotting human bones, they are afraid of fire and they don’t like prey that are already dry of blood. So you probably don’t wanna coat yourself in it for fear of tetanus.
Here's a tip Beyoncé gave me for the Bloodstarved Beast: To the left, to the left. If you just hug and move to the left, nearly every attack will whiff. Thanks Beyoncé!
Gun Only Bloodborne in 2024?! God bless America. And Yharnam. 12:54 Separately, I have found myself questioning why Hunters including the player character can't use Pyromancy. Then I realized, Hunters can't actually use *any* real magic. They can only use Hunter Tools to tap into Great Ones' power. Only enemies that have been tainted and changed by the Blood (like the Beast-Possessed Soul and the Shadows of Yharnam) can actually use magic.
Gotta do enough BB content that Sony finally lessens their grip and we get a remaster or sequel makes sense! Now im just sad there's no pyromancy style hunter tool
My issue with Chikage is it messes up rallying, and I actually rely on rallying a lot. It's probably my favorite mechanic from Bloodborne! So I have to play more defensive than I normally would if I use it, which leads to getting hit by attacks I normally wouldn't because the game flow of Bloodborne is entirely balanced around aggression. The flavor text on the shield even hints to that; "Hunters do not normally employ shields, ineffectual against the strength of the beasts as they tend to be. Shields are nice, but not if they engender passivity." You're better off trading blows and rallying the health back in most circumstances. (Rally Potential gems are actually some of my favorite to find early, since they save a ton of blood vials.)
If you’ve ever seen the “can I beat bloodborne *normally* “ video by Baron’s Castle, there’s a way to put Kos in an infinite parry loop and it keeps him from transforming during the fight too. I bet with the high bloodtinge build and +10 Evelyn it would’ve been a pretty fast way to dispatch Kos. Awesome video and great edit too!
18:25 The hunter canonically reeks (I'm not joking) it's implied by characters in the game that hunters have a very strong and distinct scent, with Gascoigne's daughter realising you're a hunter through your scent, through a closed window likely surrounded by incense herself, and then the guy in the oeden chapel also picks up on your scent before he sees you, it's likely the hunters scent is too strong for incense to work lol
Bruh how did I not know after beating Bloodborne multiple times that you can run into the water in the Kos fight!? I always struggled fighting him on the lumpy beach lmao
Funny thing is, if something is bad we say it sucks or blows, but there are times when thats what we want. If a leaf blower is bad, it doesnt blow. A bad vacuum also doesnt suck.
@@DoomWolfOfficial If I remember correctly it's from those hilarious 'so bad it's good' 4kids Dubs of anime. This particular one being for Yu-Gi-Oh. "I'm going to defeat you with the power of friendship, and this gun I found!"
I was surprised to see you didn't make use of the Chalice dungeons much. I did a build a while back too for gun only and research into that helped immensely. The gems you can from the dungeons takes gun only from mediocre to broken really fast.
I was really wanting to at least hear one time "So anyway I started blasting" but you didn't do it. Now I don't feel bad for you doing the fist of Gratia anymore XD
Imagine a bloodborne 2 based a different region such as in the Americas. The beasts you battle are based off of wendigo, skin walkers, chupicabra, and other American Folk monsters as an example. That would be amazing. . . Man can dream.
That lung attack you were talking about is parriable. But there is another attack that is also parrable but not as well known about. When orphan does the giant leap, if you time it right you can parry it before it hits you. You might have to free aim the shot. I prefer to keep a good distance so that if i miss i wont get hit.
You mean the one where he leaps into the sky?? or the other leap, if it's the second, I think I have landed that _once_ but it was risky so I never try haha
I approve of the Austin Powers reference, but hoo boy, I can not watch these movies again as an adult. I might cringe so hard, I'd fold into myself and collapse into a singularity
Ludwig's Rifle has the longest recovery time of any gun, making it somewhat of a poor choice for parries. The starting pistol is actually a much better choice for parrying.
@procow2274 @DoomWolfOfficial As someone who has started several characters with the Blunderbuss, hoping it would solve my skill issue of being ass at parrying, I will definitely agree that it makes parrying easier... but it also has so much recoil that you don't get a chance to make good on it, most times. Ludwig's Rifle has like 3x the recoil of the Blunderbuss, you're never getting a riposte off of that. xD
So I did a gun only run myself a while back, and I was getting really fed up with the farming and traversal early game as well. I decided to make an exception, and that specifically when backtracking or farming something, be it bullets, echoes, shards, etc. I would be allowed to riposte, but only when fighting respawning enemies I'd already beaten before. While I bet I wouldn't be able to make this concession if I was uploading it as content, for my own personal enjoyment it made everything much less painful. And once I had the bullet regen runes, the Reiterpallasch and the Evelyn/Repeater well upgraded I didn't even need to riposte anymore.
hey that's fair, there are times in runs where I have to do that kind of thing too because otherwise it would take..like weeks/ months maybe for a video to come out otherwise lol
I know you can't do it because of the "only level bloodtinge" rule, but reiterpallasch + cannon is so fun. Hitting an enemy with a bone marrow ash boosted cannon after you parry them with the reiterpallasch is so satisfying. Although unfortunately you can only do it a couple of times due to how much ammo the cannon consumes. Also about the incense thing, there are a few moments where the hunter is referred to as "moon scented" or having an odd scent in general. Although it isn't quite 100% confirmed, it is implied from the Doll's prayer that the Moon Presence's name is Flora. It is possible that the "moon scent" is the same scent as the beast warding incense as the Moon Presence does grant a degree of protection to its hunters from the plague (although there is a limit as seen with Gascoigne and others). The Oedon Chapel Dweller mentions he didn't notice us enter and attributes it to the incense, but it could be that we weren't so much masked by it but that if we already smell like the incense then he wouldn't notice any difference. As for why it doesn't protect us from being attacked, the incense just helps hide people's presence from them, but if the beasts see you they're going to attack regardless of how you smell.
Wanting an extremely dramatic Styleborne playthrough, I paired the Reiterpallasch with the Evelyn to switch from a rapier and pistol duelist with to an akimbo pistol gunslinger. It was totally unnecessary to have two pistols, but it felt extremely cool, and looked elegant as hell while wearing the Knight's set.
17:16 Honestly, the flame sprayer and reiter is one of my favorite builds. cause I get a gun and a flamethrower, but the bulltet management makes it such a pain to kill bosses still love it though.
I found the Evelyn to actually be super useful for my gun only build. It was way cheaper to land parries with it than with the Repeater Pistol, and I didn't have to swap between guns to parry anymore. Plus, the visual of the hunter pulling up with two guns and just lighting a boss up is too peak to pass up. Evelyn was better for fights where I wasn't confident in parrying, being really good for spamming, since it does more Damage per Bullet.
27:00 I assumed it was because they actually saw the brain up close and got to a higher state of mind before losing it and dying compared to the guy farther away.
kinda would say that this kind of run is only possible with +10 evelyn with good gems in it and an abundance of bone marrow ashes... or at least possible in a way that doesnt steal 1 quarter on your life expectancy
I did something similar on my last run. Used the piercing rifle and rifle spear. You'd be suprised at how well it works and how you can make any build viable in this game. At least for a new run.
she rarely heals for me, and I don't know why. Normally I would say its because I never leave her side but in this run I kinda..didn't need to stick close to her so
I have a small desire (as in, it’s unlikely I’ll do it) to beat the game with either the piercing rifle only (though I think someone already did that) or rifle spear shot only (but that might just not work, thanks to the lack of bone marrow ash)
Even without using bone marrow ash it might be doable considering how many bullets you can make, ya know assuming you never get hit to need to heal yourself lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial playing the older games again just reminds me of how much chip damage you take in DS3 from even the tiniest drops. such a dramatic contrast
@@DoomWolfOfficial Fair, it's just that Souls protagonists are very good at just instantly drowning in water that's more than 3 feet deep, so I tend to play it safe
In Short, Yeah, You Did. In Long, The Evelyn was my sidearm of choice so a bonus point already. Kinda neat seeing some of the lesser used guns though. Most cases I just think "huh, that's neat" and forget I even have it

18:28 I'm not the MOST well versed in Souls lore, but if my understanding is correct, the sheer amount of blood that covers hunters prevents any sort of incense from masking their presence from beasts. I believe the Blue Elixer canonically was a means to enact a similar effect though, for hunters that sought to get around undetected.
I believe I read somewhere that viscerals scale with skill in bb. Not sure but if that’s the case then shooting twice would do more damage than the visceral itself
Shame you can't attach the pistol to a katana, then you could be a shoGUN!

it's implied by characters in the game that hunters have a very strong and distinct scent, with Gascoigne's daughter realising you're a hunter through your scent, through a closed window likely surrounded by incense herself, and then the guy in the oeden chapel also picks up on your scent before he sees you, it's likely the hunters scent is too strong for incense to work lol
thats..hilarious lol
Bruh how did I not know after beating Bloodborne multiple times that you can run into the water in the Kos fight!? I always struggled fighting him on the lumpy beach lmao
Fighting him on land only is rough, you're just that good!
The guy who gives you the tonsil stone is spatches
neat!
Funny thing is, if something is bad we say it sucks or blows, but there are times when thats what we want. If a leaf blower is bad, it doesnt blow. A bad vacuum also doesnt suck.
Baron always says Mark out. Maybe thats what you wanted?
Intellegence😂 isnt even a stat in bloodborne. I think everythings dumb.
The one redead? Copycat:D
facts, a good vacuum is good at sucking lol
Dr evil a million dollars isn't much anymore
Virtucon alone makes over 9 billion a year, thats a lot of money lol
"I'll defeat Eldritch Horrors with the power of Doll, and this gun I found!"
You know I'm sure I've heard that joke in popular media, but I can't place it lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial
If I remember correctly it's from those hilarious 'so bad it's good' 4kids Dubs of anime.
This particular one being for Yu-Gi-Oh.
"I'm going to defeat you with the power of friendship, and this gun I found!"
I was surprised to see you didn't make use of the Chalice dungeons much. I did a build a while back too for gun only and research into that helped immensely. The gems you can from the dungeons takes gun only from mediocre to broken really fast.
oh I did my research, pre and during, and watched barons video too
I just hate the chalice dungeons lmao
Character creation, "Do you feel bonita?"
I feel..very bonita. lol
I was really wanting to at least hear one time "So anyway I started blasting" but you didn't do it. Now I don't feel bad for you doing the fist of Gratia anymore XD
missed opportunity lol
Imagine a bloodborne 2 based a different region such as in the Americas.
The beasts you battle are based off of wendigo, skin walkers, chupicabra, and other American Folk monsters as an example.
That would be amazing. . . Man can dream.
we need to get this idea to From Soft now lol
That lung attack you were talking about is parriable. But there is another attack that is also parrable but not as well known about. When orphan does the giant leap, if you time it right you can parry it before it hits you. You might have to free aim the shot. I prefer to keep a good distance so that if i miss i wont get hit.
You mean the one where he leaps into the sky?? or the other leap, if it's the second, I think I have landed that _once_ but it was risky so I never try haha
@DoomWolfOfficial The one where he leaps into the sky. I know about it because I watch a lot of no hit runs.
For general combat against stuff that can be parried, a fun combo is having an already ashes evelyn and then parrying with thr reiterpallasch
yeah that does crazy damage! I just only wanted to use left handed weapons for this one haha
I approve of the Austin Powers reference, but hoo boy, I can not watch these movies again as an adult. I might cringe so hard, I'd fold into myself and collapse into a singularity
lol I haven't actually seen them in a _long_ time but I enjoyed them when I did haha
came FLYING for this. already liked the video!
haha hope you enjoyed it after the like :)
The point of the gravestones in the Gascoigne arena is to teach you to be aggressive and not back away.
but what about backing to the side to dodge, ya know, left and right lol
This madlad is actually fighting the Shadow of Yharnam on a challenge run and not doing the skip? I'll be damned.
theres a skip?!?!? lol
I've been playing Bloodborne for the first time on PC, and I've gotta say it's incredible.
nice, I keep getting mixed reports. some say its running amazingly, others say it crashes just from the wind lol
Ludwigs rifle isn't about damage its about getting parries ☝️🤓
Ludwig's Rifle has the longest recovery time of any gun, making it somewhat of a poor choice for parries. The starting pistol is actually a much better choice for parrying.
I heard the shotgun style weapons were better at it but I honestly am worse with them for that, so for me they are just all around worse weapons haha
@procow2274 @DoomWolfOfficial As someone who has started several characters with the Blunderbuss, hoping it would solve my skill issue of being ass at parrying, I will definitely agree that it makes parrying easier... but it also has so much recoil that you don't get a chance to make good on it, most times. Ludwig's Rifle has like 3x the recoil of the Blunderbuss, you're never getting a riposte off of that. xD
the evelyn is my favorite left hand weapon in BB by far, its a gorgeous gun and the name makes it better, not to mention its actually good.
yeah they really did well by it, now if only something could be done about the fist of gratia.. lol
So I did a gun only run myself a while back, and I was getting really fed up with the farming and traversal early game as well. I decided to make an exception, and that specifically when backtracking or farming something, be it bullets, echoes, shards, etc. I would be allowed to riposte, but only when fighting respawning enemies I'd already beaten before.
While I bet I wouldn't be able to make this concession if I was uploading it as content, for my own personal enjoyment it made everything much less painful. And once I had the bullet regen runes, the Reiterpallasch and the Evelyn/Repeater well upgraded I didn't even need to riposte anymore.
hey that's fair, there are times in runs where I have to do that kind of thing too because otherwise it would take..like weeks/ months maybe for a video to come out otherwise lol
19:39 ngl, that part got me rolling on the floor 😂
glad it got a laugh :)
I know you can't do it because of the "only level bloodtinge" rule, but reiterpallasch + cannon is so fun. Hitting an enemy with a bone marrow ash boosted cannon after you parry them with the reiterpallasch is so satisfying. Although unfortunately you can only do it a couple of times due to how much ammo the cannon consumes.
Also about the incense thing, there are a few moments where the hunter is referred to as "moon scented" or having an odd scent in general. Although it isn't quite 100% confirmed, it is implied from the Doll's prayer that the Moon Presence's name is Flora. It is possible that the "moon scent" is the same scent as the beast warding incense as the Moon Presence does grant a degree of protection to its hunters from the plague (although there is a limit as seen with Gascoigne and others). The Oedon Chapel Dweller mentions he didn't notice us enter and attributes it to the incense, but it could be that we weren't so much masked by it but that if we already smell like the incense then he wouldn't notice any difference. As for why it doesn't protect us from being attacked, the incense just helps hide people's presence from them, but if the beasts see you they're going to attack regardless of how you smell.
that would be some juicy damage.
Oh interesting, thanks!
29:31 I was fully expecting a "Its a hard knock life" montage lol
That would have been good XD
Wanting an extremely dramatic Styleborne playthrough, I paired the Reiterpallasch with the Evelyn to switch from a rapier and pistol duelist with to an akimbo pistol gunslinger. It was totally unnecessary to have two pistols, but it felt extremely cool, and looked elegant as hell while wearing the Knight's set.
nice that would be pretty slick looking!
Nice content you get to the 1.000.000🎉
Thanks :)
love the metriod music and the castlevania music in the back
Glad you like it, some killer songs :)
17:16 Honestly, the flame sprayer and reiter is one of my favorite builds. cause I get a gun and a flamethrower, but the bulltet management makes it such a pain to kill bosses still love it though.
haha yeah that sounds like it would chew through bullets, but would be fun!
You had a lot of preparation for this run, since A-G failed, you finally did it with preparation H!
right but preparation H is a great plan _on the (w)hole_ lol
19:28 "God DAMN you Bernice!!" - The other two Shadows to the candle Shadow
lmao yes
I found the Evelyn to actually be super useful for my gun only build. It was way cheaper to land parries with it than with the Repeater Pistol, and I didn't have to swap between guns to parry anymore. Plus, the visual of the hunter pulling up with two guns and just lighting a boss up is too peak to pass up. Evelyn was better for fights where I wasn't confident in parrying, being really good for spamming, since it does more Damage per Bullet.
yeah, it's a great gun and the extra animation flair is just a cherry on top haha
austin powers reference 🔥
indead!
27:00 I assumed it was because they actually saw the brain up close and got to a higher state of mind before losing it and dying compared to the guy farther away.
exactly, what he gets for sleeping in!
Bloodborne: Devil May Cry 2 edition
ya know i've never played that myself but recently watched a video over it and..yeah, yeah that is accurate lol
This video caused me to sub. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
26:34
My playthrough was a Bloodtinge/Skill hybrid build, so it was really satisfying just shooting Micolash to death from the upper floor like that.
oh yeah, any chance I get i do that and its satisfying every time lol, bloodtinge/skill could be a good combination!
@ It is. Game was a lot easier than I was expecting.
kinda would say that this kind of run is only possible with +10 evelyn with good gems in it and an abundance of bone marrow ashes... or at least possible in a way that doesnt steal 1 quarter on your life expectancy
lol the DLC def needed the bone marrow ash but honestly base game was mostly a cake walk :P
@@DoomWolfOfficial i stand corrected then heh
Elden ring player uses bonk stick or sword meanwhile bloodbourne players use glocks and cutlass swords
BB players just be classy af lol
Glad you finally shoot your shot with this challenge. Infinite pebble only run when?
I uh... I'm going to save infinite pebbles for when I uh..hit 7 _billion_ subs, yep, totally real challenge run coming one day lol
36:26 well thats because bullets are already godlike
lol fair fair
0:10 Mind sharing sliders ?
sorry my friend, I don't usually keep track of the sliders I just move stuff until it looks mostly good then forget about it lol
@DoomWolfOfficial such a Shame
bringing freedom to Yharnam, whose inhabitants are afflicted with an oil-borne disease ☠🤠
yee haw? lol
I did something similar on my last run. Used the piercing rifle and rifle spear. You'd be suprised at how well it works and how you can make any build viable in this game. At least for a new run.
oh yeah especially if you use it to set up a bone marrow parry riposte, absolutely shreds!
Doom you give mitten squad vibes also lemon from backlogs
This is a great compliment, I am a huge fan of both channels (rest in peace mitten squad)
the pyromancy thing is pretty clearly explained in the loran chalice. it's so obvious that i won't even write it here.
you right, i clearly didn't pay enough attention while getting slapped around in the dungeons lmao
Micolash Bloodborne's Charlie and the chocolate factory reject, his favorite movie btw is the birdcage
Good yes lol
you know, watching this it makes me realize just how peak the boss arenas in bloodborne are.
BB has a lot of peaks, please sony release it so we can have a remaster/sequel
@@DoomWolfOfficial sony be like "we don't have any IPs" when they have millions of people begging for bb pc
Vicar Amelia attempts to heal every single time I've ever fought her...
she rarely heals for me, and I don't know why. Normally I would say its because I never leave her side but in this run I kinda..didn't need to stick close to her so
Ah yes the reference of DR Evil from Austin Powers when he demanded 1 Million Dollars
groovy baby lol
The beast can throw fire because it chose Pyromancer as a starting class.
Dang you right lol
The fact that 95% of the GUNS in bloodborne do absolutely shit damage has always been insane to me.
It's defiantly an intentional design choice ..but like, why tho lol, maybe pvp related?
Tbh it’s probably cause a gun doesn’t do much damage against a mad man
I have a small desire (as in, it’s unlikely I’ll do it) to beat the game with either the piercing rifle only (though I think someone already did that) or rifle spear shot only (but that might just not work, thanks to the lack of bone marrow ash)
Even without using bone marrow ash it might be doable considering how many bullets you can make, ya know assuming you never get hit to need to heal yourself lol
Love the super metroid musik in the backround
Glad you liked it :)
“Friday in Cali” build lookin solid ngl.
_oh no_ lol
@2:08 ah yes, the "I've been playing too much elden ring and forgot how brittle bones were in earlier games" experiences
facts lol ER ruined me
@@DoomWolfOfficial playing the older games again just reminds me of how much chip damage you take in DS3 from even the tiniest drops. such a dramatic contrast
...you can walk into the water in the Orphan fight? Well, the more you know
yes, and there is a lot of water to walk in making the fight much easier :P
@@DoomWolfOfficial Fair, it's just that Souls protagonists are very good at just instantly drowning in water that's more than 3 feet deep, so I tend to play it safe
I clicked on the add and youtube rewarded me with another add. Welp. Glad i support your channel.
Well..I thank you my friend for the extra support lol
The incense thing, it's actually in the crow mask, but doesn't do much while actually fighting them, I don't think. Lore wise anyways.
Makes sense since it's modeled off a plague doctors mask!
Bloodtinge is just Red Dexterity...
..so better than strength then :P
ayo Wolf long time fan...noticd i dnt ads on your videos(appreciated.=Yes) but i still think you deserve the AD revenue bruv
I actually forgot to put ads in this one lmao, like a few minutes ago I was sitting here like "..wait, did I do that" and sure enough, nope
Probably the only time I've said "Dammit Doom" out loud.
As a skilltinge main this should be good.
Hope I did you proud lol
In Short, Yeah, You Did.
In Long, The Evelyn was my sidearm of choice so a bonus point already. Kinda neat seeing some of the lesser used guns though. Most cases I just think "huh, that's neat" and forget I even have it
Awesome run!!
Thanks :)
I thought I was tripping hearing the Dr. Evil reference until you pointed it out lol
lol nope, just a good ol movie reference
"died to Witch of Hemwick" award
thanks, its an elusive reward only given to me lmao
I missed a party for this! Also, I don't remember Illinois looking like this, them damn cosmic horrors
haha the party keeps going my friend!
Protip for future blood starved bears fights if you don’t know! You can avoid basically all of her attacks, by stepping to the left while in her face
Yeah! I just never feel comfortable doing that, like I'm always out of position and gonna get a claw to the face lol
@ ahhhh that’s entirely fair yeah!
Dude if you had 1 million fan im one of them and if you had only 1 that would be me and if you had no fans that means im dead every video is a masterpiece of a work why you are so underrated thank you so much for this great content what a hidden gem of a channel
Thank you for the kind words my friend, I really appreciate it :)
Another case of "I didn't know I craved it before I got it".
Hopefully you liked it ;)
@@DoomWolfOfficial Goes without saying!
"The one reborn is now the one redead" lmfao
glad that gave you a chuckle lol
18:28 I'm not the MOST well versed in Souls lore, but if my understanding is correct, the sheer amount of blood that covers hunters prevents any sort of incense from masking their presence from beasts. I believe the Blue Elixer canonically was a means to enact a similar effect though, for hunters that sought to get around undetected.
huh, neat! Thanks for that :)
Also to be fair most hunters are probably more of the mind of being the bait
this is pretty silly because a gun only + viscerals would be really fun
gun only but gun only, is also fun :P
I believe I read somewhere that viscerals scale with skill in bb. Not sure but if that’s the case then shooting twice would do more damage than the visceral itself
That reference was GaRoovy baby. Yeah~
YEAH BABBY lol
😆
