51:23 To answer this, yes, he absolutely can. The Augur of Ebreitas works the same as a bullet, being able to parry attacks. However, due to the around 1~ it takes to cast, by the time the animation is done, the person that was parried has already gotten back up. There is a way around this, and it's if the Augur of Ebreitas is cast and the caster is hit milliseconds afterwards. This cancels the cast animation AND parries the attacker, allowing for a Visceral. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk, - An avid Augur of Ebreitas fan
Just here to say that Im happy 6+ years after the release of BB we can have this conversation about how both Micolash and Alfred have incel energy Love u two
Impression? That IS the REAL Miyazaki! The Miyazaki you are familiar with is merely an actor hired by From Software because they feared the real Miyazaki would hurt their brand's "image." I must say, I think they may have made the right choice. The real Miyazaki is quite a crude and generally disagreeable fellow. He does make great games, though...
Micolash OBVIOUSLY became The One Reborn because the cultist spammed the print button for his return too many times and all of the Mico-copies mashed together.
Sophie: "...Does he mean the cut boss arena? No. That's not muddy or lakey, because its *the fucking ocean!"* This line is my favourite goddamn thing since the Elden Ring Gameplay Trailer.
Hey all, love the work you guys do! sincerely thank-you! Just a quick observation - I'm sure this has been brought up before but in answer to Sin's question about 8 minutes in on where Micolash was born. Many characters in Bloodborne with specifically London accents are explicitly from Yharnam (the sceptical man, the chapel dweller, the Yhanamites in cathedral ward), and what may not be apparent to non-Londoners is that Micolash's accent is unmistakably London - suggesting he's from Yharnam too (this is most evident during his death 'lament' .. "I'll forget effrey-fing" (I'm from London too I'm allowed to mock it!)). - obviously the voice actor is attempting to put a creepy/untrustworthy spin on the accent (he reminds me of the Undead Burg merchant and Patches (all three voice actors are, I believe, from London) - he also reminds me of various sitcom characters you'd get on British TV in the 80s portraying sleazy landlords or Soho strip-club owners - an actor named Lee Cornes springs to mind though ironically he's from the Midlands. What I find particularly interesting is that Micolash's accent also denotes an unprivileged upbringing (I think terms like 'working class accent' are probably outdated but in a Victorian setting they say a lot ), as opposed to his Byrgenwerth alumni Willem and Laurence both of whom have accents suggesting a privileged upbringing (Willem particularly). Assuming Byrgenwerth follows the same admissions model as Victorian era British universities - social mobility was essentially non-existent so for someone from a non-privileged background to even attend would be extremely rare - perhaps suggesting he was either so scholastically brilliant that he was brought to Byrgenwerth on that merit alone or he was working completely outside of the school structure (if indeed nightmare Micolash is a faithful representation of the living man himself which is a big 'if' - the word 'Host' (as in group) screams at me when I think about his character) Just thought it was worth bringing up - Yharnam seems to have more of a fleshed out cultural identity (for want of a better term) than other souls-borne locations and the original voice recording for Micolash is distinctly less-'Londoney' so it seems a conscious decision. right - on to rant about Velstadt on your Shulva video....
Girl With Blorbo’s Ultimate Fantasy: someone invites you on a podcast to interview you ABOUT YOUR BLORBO and they ask how you FEEL ABOUT HIM and what you LIKE ABOUT HIM What a dream come true wow
He’s one of my favorite I hated his fight the first time bc I got so lost and had to look up where to go but all his ramblings just make me love him and I wore that cage the rest of the game
Micolash to the School of Mensis:" 👏WE👏NEED👏MORE👏EYES👏" School of Mensis: "Okay, let's call beyond and get some Eyes" **Phone Rings** On The Line: "This is Howard's Pizza, can I take your order?" Micolash: "Kos? Yes, 👏WE👏WANT👏MORE👏EYES👏" On The Line: "Um... I'm sorry, sir. We don't have any eyes" Micolash: 😡
I'm only seventeen minutes in because I have to go to work and finish listening this evening, but I'm already getting two things out of this: 1. That note in Yahar'gul that says "Rituals to beckon the moon" might be harmonized with what Micolash is actually doing if we take this "Micolash is following in Laurence's footsteps" thing another step. Laurence probably went into the chalices to get Mergo and offer him as a substitute child to Flora, but died. So Laurence's "ritual" was to beckon the Moon Presence and say "hey, flower lady, kid here!" But Micolash, thinking he could improve on the concept, instead replaced Flora with Kos. (Of course, the Mensis Ritual ends up causing the worlds to crash together and the Blood Moon to get beckoned anyway so that probably makes more sense about what the note is saying, but I like the idea of Micolash hunched over a desk, editing Laurence's notes and going "ACTUALLY, it would be better if..." 2. At Dignity City U, Rom was clearly that one really hot and popular girl who nonetheless gets great grades and all the incel neckbeards hate her because she's better than them at the one thing that gives them self-worth (their alleged smarts) and still won't talk to them. Which is probably why Micolash wants to summon Kos specifically because he wants to prove he's better at mad eldritch science than she is.
So, I just looked up the meaning of, "werth," which is just an early spelling of, "worth," when used in the context of city names and found this. From, "Geographical Etymology: A Dictionary of Place-names Giving Their Derivations." Werth or wirth, "A river island, or sometimes a plot of ground insulated by marshes" I also just looked up, "Byrgen,"I think this is all over the Bloodborne wiki and I'm sure Sophie's already explained it thrice, but it means, "burial-place; grave; tomb; sepulchre." So Byrgenwerth kind of means graveyard island or maybe, lakeside graveyard.
I love Micolash as a character. PC: "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT ALL THIS MEANS! WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT!!?" Micolash: **Looks at PC like a psychopath with a cage on his head** "Do you really..?"
it's nice to have the actual context for those cut lines, i was always intrigued by them and my guess at what their purpose was was completely wrong lmfao. one thing that's still gonna get me anyway though probably forever is the second version of the "we were friends, how could you" where he says "it's nothing to be ashamed of!" angrily. i wonder what he was talking about. maybe the fact that he used to get trashcanned weekly by the jocks at Byrgenwerth
"no! We shall not abandon the bean"...see what I did there? I love Lash's inane ramblings. He's the only truly sane person in the world who knows what's going on and is coherent enough to pursue it. But when you meet him he just seems so out of left field. It's great, one of those repeat playthrough gems is when you kind of get what's he's saying
21:54 .. that was in the episode when you mentioned Reborn! I know it as if it had just happend. PS: I think Myiazaki-San is growing more and more fond of you guys. I hear the joy over never ending rage/dread from having to appear on this podcast for ever in his soothing ASMR voice. Were the notes introduced to lure him in? (possibly even 'lore him in').You cheeky basterds, good on you. pp = podcast policy
I always assumed that the Brain of Mensis is formed from the collective minds of the School of Mensis, and that the One Reborn is an attempt to bring them back from the nightmare. It makes a grim sense that the waking world version of the Brain of Mensis would be a "Body of Mensis".
Chasing Micolash from Cathedral ward all the way to hemwick and jumping into the sea sounds like an amazing concept! Would have loved to actually play it
So I think its most likely that Micolash and Mensis were using Mergo as bait to lure in the Great Ones, as it fits with Laurence and Willem both understanding that the Third Umbilical Cords is what establishes a connection between the human realm and the realm of the gods. So it makes sense that Micolash managed to get his hands on Mergos cord, perhaps via excavation into the Ihyll labyrinth. This could also explain why Loran Silverbeasts are in the Nightmare of Mensis, as they could have been dragged into it as Micolash was performing the ritual underground. This could also explain why Micolash calls out to Kos', though, because he doesn't fully understand the nature of the Great Ones. He assumes Kos will answer because it's to only Great One they know of at this point, and so he thinks that Mergos Wet Nurse is Kos. This could also play into the idea that the Wet Nurse isn't really allied with Mensis, and basically took advantage of their stupidity to try and get Mergo back. This is probably why the ascension didn't work for Micolash, and why the ritual itself went badly, because they were once again acting with hubris dealing with things beyond their understanding.
Although the yharnam projections disappear after being hit once, they do have the ability to fight with blood projectiles. Perhaps the one in the mensis nightmare could fight or maybe the queen needs to be present for the projections to fight
So OK elephant in the room (spider in the room?), Rom became a spider right? And we have all these spiders in mensis that look different but maybe that's a semi successful transformation, right? You don't turn into a beast, you don't like turn into a brainsucker / celestial thing, you turn into a spider somehow if you do a certain process while contacting a great one. So maybe that's what happened to the scholars, whether they are mensis or ancient Loran church scholars or something. Because we also have these eyes everywhere in the church structure and they also have spider webs around them. I don't really understand how that works but it's like the whole place got affected in that way. It's kind of a weird place for patches to end up like that though, because patches hates clerics in all games! So I certainly don't see him as part of church scholars turned spiders, but he clearly is a scholar of some kind with his amygdala worshipping. And like Sophie says he does seem to be from Bygerwerth. But then again, he would join mensis as an "anti church" faction, like he joined Rykard's bunch in Elden Ring maybe. I don't know, it's a very different patches from the one in souls anyway so anything's possible. Even enlightenment.
I think that's what the spiders in the Nightmare are, yeah - you find them adjacent to where the giant brain is, and everyone immediately in front of the brain is dead. So I'm assuming the ones who didn't die from the initial contact got turned into spiders and went mad. The eyes around the place are probably something like the blood and skulls in the Hunter's Nightmare; the world is changing to reflect the people in it. Patches kind of becomes a cleric of sorts in Bloodborne, because he's worshiping Amygdala, but he's more like... flattering it for attention? He decides to just go pack and find another god when it dies.
Is the old blood actually good for *anything* that Byrgenwerth or the Healing Church wanted to accomplish? It heals wounds, which is nice for our player character and for the Healing Church to ingratiate themselves with Yharnamites, but that doesnt actually help achieve their ends of ascension. The closest it gets to "ascension" is turning its recipients into beasts - which literally nobody wants. You don't seem to need the Old Blood at all to ascend, just insight (granted to you by Third Cords). It seems like the Old Blood was just a massive red herring? Are we meant to assume the Old Blood is blood from the physical forms of Great Ones, eg Ebreitas? If so, I get the logic of it - "let's put Ebreitas's blood in ourselves and maybe we'll become like Ebreitas" - but it doesn't work, it just turns you into a beast. Or, are we meant to assume that Old Blood PLUS insight turns you into Kin of the Cosmos/celestial emissaries instead of beasts? If so, imposter Ioseka's experiments don't really make sense - what, is she strapping people down, injecting them with Old Blood, and then whispering Eldritch truths to them to force them to transform into Kin and not Beasts? Was Old Blood used to facilitate Rom's "ascension?" Even if so, it still seems as if the blood ends up wholly unnecessary to ascend, right? It was all a dead end, because becoming Kin isn't actually becoming a halfway Great One or anything....
Yeah, "Byrgen" - we've known for a while, we just can't update videos without remaking them entirely (which we're slowly doing with our much older stuff).
I have to sssume hats of bloodborne was once again Sophie suggesting a sarcastic new series and forgetting that to Sin there are no stupid ideas when it comes ever more tortured analysis of a many years old game
It doesn't have one, it's just a bunch of dead bodies that the Bell Ringers brought back to life because that's their hobby / job. Same as the other corpse monsters in Yahar'gul, but big.
I love Your Bloodborne content, and I listen to You for about 2 years. You explained the most of this game to me, and I actually feel like You're the best channel full of knowledge and good theories (even if buried under a thick, yet enjoyable layer of pure, fun banter) about it. Therefore I just felt like I have to share with You a certain video, of another TH-camr, who is going through Bloodborne blind now, and after every boss stops to make a very in-depth analysis. And there was one particular video, where he offers a take that for me was very fresh and intriguing. I thought it may pick Your interest (You don't have to watch the entire video, the analysis starts at 1:12:05 ) th-cam.com/video/RaoamGdJ52U/w-d-xo.html It's just a different angle of viewing this game, but man it's now stuck in my head.
Guys you need to focus more on the content lol like yea have a good time but I’m clocking off y’all videos because you just sound off lol that’s all I can say. More structure

To answer this, yes, he absolutely can.

Just thought it was worth bringing up - Yharnam seems to have more of a fleshed out cultural identity (for want of a better term) than other souls-borne locations and the original voice recording for Micolash is distinctly less-'Londoney' so it seems a conscious decision.

Very thematic. It's a shame that its canon translation is Dignity City, and there's nothing anyone can ever do to change that.
So basically it means Dignity City right? Did i get the jist of this investigation correctly?
@@fredranzalot4849 is that from the Japanese name?

It's kind of a weird place for patches to end up like that though, because patches hates clerics in all games!

And like Sophie says he does seem to be from Bygerwerth. But then again, he would join mensis as an "anti church" faction, like he joined Rykard's bunch in Elden Ring maybe. I don't know, it's a very different patches from the one in souls anyway so anything's possible. Even enlightenment.
I think that's what the spiders in the Nightmare are, yeah - you find them adjacent to where the giant brain is, and everyone immediately in front of the brain is dead. So I'm assuming the ones who didn't die from the initial contact got turned into spiders and went mad. The eyes around the place are probably something like the blood and skulls in the Hunter's Nightmare; the world is changing to reflect the people in it.
Patches kind of becomes a cleric of sorts in Bloodborne, because he's worshiping Amygdala, but he's more like... flattering it for attention? He decides to just go pack and find another god when it dies.
