Now I want to see a gag playthrough where someone just does a jaded Dale Gribble impression the whole time and just nonchalantly reacts to everything in the Bloodborne world.
@@unsubme2157 bruh i have literally *done this* since seeing the video, just got Orphan, Laurence, and the endgame boss still unfinished. It's all in the blood gems, you can beat Ludwig with like 5 call beyonds if you stand at the top of the stairs and Maria gets stunlocked by the executioner's gloves, even the hardest bosses have elemental weaknesses to abuse if needed and blood bullets make ammunition a joke.
The best part about playing a 99 ARC build, is you're a terrifying pyromaniac for the first part of the game; then you get to be a Lovecraftian sorcerer and kill things with cosmic power!
It's really a cool concept, it seems that all elemental damage is determined by the user's knowledge to cosmic things (Arcane), and Fire happened to be the first element we "tamed" from the nature. Fire has been benefiting us as a tool for cleansing foods and wounds, offering light, forging weapons and being used as a weapon. And we then use Fire and Knowledge to fight other cosmic creatures, in other words, it's in fact Arcane vs Arcane!
Or you get to be a cosmic pyromaniac. Either way, Miyazaki will be proud of you. And kudos for the guy playing in the video, he has given me a new reason to play Bloodborne again.
Arcane Hunter: I have constructed an ranged weapon using the powers of the arcane. Strength Hunter: Uhhh, that's a flamethrower. How is that arcane? Arcane Hunter: Simple, I burn anyone that asks stupid questions.
That isn't true, you can cheese the game pretty hard and make it braindead with any build. Parryable bosses are a joke with a skill build, you can unironically gun some bosses like amygdala to death with a bloodtinge build, some other bosses too, strenght builds stun humanoid bosses and break limbs of the other bosses so fast you can stunlock Paarl and watchdog to death. Not to mention for all of those melee builds, you can cheese all of the early game spending less resources than the arcane build just using a fire paper+ Blood Cocktail, and at the endgame with the right bloodgems, their damage can explode absurd numbers paired with beast blood pellet, don't feel bad just becaus you know how to abuse the broken stuff of your build and they don't know theirs. :)
It doesn't even stop there, using a Tonitrus, I was able to beat Rom before her first teleport without even doing dungeons or farming, it's just that good
Buick Debaron the Tonitrus you get from Yarhar Guul second time, before the One Reborn Boss fight. Once you get outside from inside the chapel, go left kill all the piggies and it’s on a Corpse next to a bagger.
What he did to Rom? What about what he did to Paarl!? That damage output is insane. Even with weapons far upgraded beyond the point you'd normally fight Paarl it takes longer than that. I'm pretty sure +6 Hunter Axe, which is about the upgrade level you're expected to have by the time you can first reach Paarl, takes more than three hits to stagger. I didn't realise early arcane was secret easy mode.
@Repurposed Diesel Submarine Engine Exhaust I'm a month late to this, but he isn't using any form of glitch in this video. It's 100% possible to do that to Rom, I've done it many times
It's so awesome seeing Bloodborne videos made in 2019. Also for anyone wondering why his spells are so OP it's because Hunter Tools don't have a soft cap. If you go all the way to 99 Arcane, their damage will continuously get better and better with each level up without losing the damage bonus efficiency.
woah woah WOAH?!!? WHAT?! THEY DON'T?! my god this changes everything. Time for a re-install. And here I was stopping my build at 40 ARC because of weapon softcaps.
spehizle oh no, 40 is not nearly enough, and I regret making the same mistakes. I used to think that hunter tools like the Executioner Gauntlet or Call Beyond were wastes of bullets because they did crap damage. But once you go over 50, that’s when the real fun begins. And yes, fire or lightning or better- the phantasm shell all scale with arcane, giving no attention to the concept of soft caps. You go reinstall the game, and you ascend into a great cosmic hunter. May the good blood guide your way
@BearSeek Berserker I do believe I recall seeing a radical increase in damage from level 65 to 72. So this just makes it more useful to go to such high miles.
I'd spend most of the time thinking "I could use this oil/bonemarrow ash/molotov, but what if I don't kill the boss, then I will have wasted them. I'll just not use them ever. You know, in case I need them for a later boss that I also won't use them on"
This gave me a reason to go back to bloodborne. I can't wait to roleplay as the firespitting cauliflower man from the nightmares of all children who hate vegetables.
Fantastic. Arcane is my favorite build in Bloodborne because it thematically fits all the horrifying nightmares we see. The idea of my character embracing all of it and using the power of the occult cosmic knowledge is just so satisfying.

Thank you for making this. I followed your guide for my arcane build, and now it's my favorite build in the entire game. The fire saw spear is just ridiculous, and I'm shocked that I didn't know about it sooner.
Arcane was the last build in Bloodborne that I haven't tried since I was unsure about it and hopefully you see this comment since I just wanted to thank you because of this guide of yours that I attempted this build. It has opened my eyes like master William what of wanted. Thank you again for this awesome guide. Arcane is hella Viable and really fun! I did all of the chaillce dungeon with never such ease before! Have a good day sir
I’ve done strength, bloodtinge and quality builds but when I did my first full Arcane build it really opened things up for being able to completely own bosses and indeed even at the easier starting levels. I really enjoyed the bloodtinge build too though.
Anyone who has ever played a high level D&D campaign laughed at those criticisms of the build... Wizards are incredibly squishy for most of the game, but at the highest levels, they can kill gods. Same will be true in any universe where magic is more than just a decoration.
ANY Magic School Wizard, as well. Currently Playing an Abjurator Wizard and let me tell you, Counterspell is so OP! Enemy: Readying a Fireba- Me: Nope! Enemy: Attacking you friend- Me: Arcane Ward goes CLANG!!
Yeah, Cleric Beast is easy; you don't really need special tricks other than fire (molotovs or fire paper) and a good DPS weapon to beat him, that and dodging a bit to avoid some of his attacks. Cleric Beast is pretty much the Asylum Demon of Bloodborne. I agree with you though, Arcane builds can be ridiculously powerful. Glad you were inspired to get back into Bloodborne - it's a damn superb game.
Goddamn! 4-5 years ago I tried arcane and it was teeeeeeedious. I spend hours in the dungeons to get somewhat decent gems. This video shows that it was my fault for not trying out more things like the flamethrower. Great video.
I am so so late to this party, but I’ve been thinking about coming back to bloodborne to try a dedicated arcane build and have been looking for inspiration. Every video I’ve seen has either relied on farming, speed running strats, or something like that. This is awesome! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Everyone has bosses they're weak or strong to differently. Watch dog and descendant never gave me any issues, and I even managed to beat horseman without losing my mind, yet paarl crushes me
That's the only fight that pissed me off in the entire game. I could not get close to that asshole without him spamming Auger of Abrietas at me one shot from it took away like a third of my health. Also the fight in the Unseen Village Chapel against 3 Hunters.
Thank you for the video! I just finished Bloodborne including it's DLCs for the first time and your video convinced me to make my first character a 99 arcane build, despite not having online access to get specific chalice dungeons for better arcane gems. She now graduated to become a broccolli woman wrecking beasts with the transformed L2
I come back to this video from time to time, its truly amazing to see. Plus gives me an excuse to listen to laurences theme again, still love this video. Just does not get boring in any way, great work mate.
This is fucking hilarious. Thank you good hunter. The Old Blood need not be feared with such a blood thirsty hunter tearing back the veil of darkness with flame and arcane power alike. And you can do what you’d like with the doll should such a thing please you.
Arcane is my favorite way to play the game now tbh. 99 Arcane + Kos Parasite = A seriously great time. It allows you to feel really powerful and it's awesome. This video was what inspired me to even make an Arcane build. Which in doing so, gave me a new, refreshed love for the game. This game truly is one of the best games ever made. Thank you for this video.
I just started playing Bloodborne and I am seriously struggling but I am enjoying the struggle. Watching your video opened my eyes into the possibilities of this game. Would love to give something like this a try once I master the mechanics from my first playthrough.
OMG this is insane! Playing this way literally makes Bloodborne an entirely different game, which is splendid! I actually planned to play my NG+ playthrough with an Arcane / Skill build because for my current NG playthrough I've invested mostly into Skill. And this video alone made me subscribe! :D
Kos parasite doesn't benefit from fire/bolt gems very much. Best you can get is flat arcane or arcane% gems, since it already has an S scaling. Also flat arcane gems makes the transformed L2 do the stupid damage you see in PvP compilations.
Thanks so much for this Speed Lee! I'm doing this now and it's so fun! Highly recommend trying this to anyone, especially if you've already beaten the game with a Skill / Strength based build.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this video, as it completely inspired me to make my first arcane build. I've beaten Bloodborne twice: once just messing around with stats and not really knowing what to level up, then another time doing a STR/END build. In both times I kept getting my butt kicked, because I'm not so good at the game apparently and I don't like to be too close to enemies. I always thought an ARC build would be cool, but I was afraid that my lack of game skills and low stats except ARC would make the game impossible for me. But after watching this video, I started a new game focusing on ARC and I'm already so happy with it. Right now I'm in the Cathedral Ward area with 17 VIT and 21 ARC and I'm having a blast with this fire sprayer. Can't wait until I'm able to do Call Beyond! Thanks so much!!
Imagine how funny would it be to fight the Curse-Rotted Greatwood from DS3 with the Fire Sprayer, the tree turns the Hunter thinking he's just another Ashen One with a sword, then the Hunter just casually sprays his balls to death with a flamethrower.
sometimes i come back to this video to remind me why i love arcane so much and why i dread all other builds, mostly because the items i want are either super ultra late game like chikage, bloodletter or church pick, i know the tryhards will say "just get the lost version its in the chalice glyph xyzstfu" but i dont have online play for playstation nor do i ever plan to, i got the ps4 for like 6-7 games that are exclusive
I just started playing again picked up where I left off on my arcane character based of this video. Farming chalice for fire gems to help with Orphan. Came back to see it in all its glory. Cheers
Im a scrub, I love this game but I don't know builds or anything. I just upped my arcane to 12 and flamesprayer to +3 and holy shit I just sprayed Vicar Amelia like she was a weed. I never tried to do arcane and I am still in shock. How was it that easy?

Arcane was the last build in Bloodborne that I haven't tried since I was unsure about it and hopefully you see this comment since I just wanted to thank you because of this guide of yours that I attempted this build. It has opened my eyes like master William what of wanted. Thank you again for this awesome guide. Arcane is hella Viable and really fun! I did all of the chaillce dungeon with never such ease before! Have a good day sir
The entire beginning of this video: KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
Cool build. 🙂
As a proud 99 Arcane Hunter, I approve of this.
Certain types of beasts have an abnormal fear of flame.
Lol ain't shit abnormal about being scared of this, I'm scared too damn
Well, it just turned into a reasonable fear of flames.
Love this comment.
@@Hahabadman but you aren't a beast............. 🤔
@@z1lla4 don't worry about that, Hunter.
I’ve done strength, bloodtinge and quality builds but when I did my first full Arcane build it really opened things up for being able to completely own bosses and indeed even at the easier starting levels. I really enjoyed the bloodtinge build too though.
Anyone who has ever played a high level D&D campaign laughed at those criticisms of the build... Wizards are incredibly squishy for most of the game, but at the highest levels, they can kill gods. Same will be true in any universe where magic is more than just a decoration.
Me: uses a 9th level spell slot to launch fireball at the goblin at 1 hp
The rest of the party who is right next to the goblin: PLEASE NO.
ANY Magic School Wizard, as well.

Ohhh, majestic! A Hunter is a Hunter, even in a dream!
*Especially* in a dream.
I jumped back into the game after watching this like, "there's no way arc is THAT busted!"
*deletes Cleric Beast*
Kos has indeed heard my prayers.
but its cleric beast, you will delete him either way
Yeah, Cleric Beast is easy; you don't really need special tricks other than fire (molotovs or fire paper) and a good DPS weapon to beat him, that and dodging a bit to avoid some of his attacks. Cleric Beast is pretty much the Asylum Demon of Bloodborne. I agree with you though, Arcane builds can be ridiculously powerful. Glad you were inspired to get back into Bloodborne - it's a damn superb game.
@@apdarkness905 yeah but usually when you fight him (as the first boss) your damage is dogshit and he can kill you in a coupl ehits
Goddamn! 4-5 years ago I tried arcane and it was teeeeeeedious. I spend hours in the dungeons to get somewhat decent gems. This video shows that it was my fault for not trying out more things like the flamethrower. Great video.
Nice pfp
@@axo2607 Thanks.
I am so so late to this party, but I’ve been thinking about coming back to bloodborne to try a dedicated arcane build and have been looking for inspiration. Every video I’ve seen has either relied on farming, speed running strats, or something like that. This is awesome! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
"Just kill watchdog twice"
*cries internally*
Once is fine I just used a cursed fire gem I found
Everyone has bosses they're weak or strong to differently. Watch dog and descendant never gave me any issues, and I even managed to beat horseman without losing my mind, yet paarl crushes me
@@potaterjim we must be bloodborne bros because I have the same ease with the three you mentioned and paarl is my worst nightmare every time.
Paarl causing troubles ?
Blood cocktail to the wall
You’re welcome
I killed paarl on my "free trial", when i experience the boss before making a counter plan. That hell of a dog? Pff I WANT TO CRY
That Ricardo really caught me off guard
I've never seen that before so I was like lol wtf was that
2:10 Wait, you can parry pigs?
Dude, you needa shove your hand up a pigs ass, its brilliant.
Pork got burned
How have i only found this out? Ive been playing since day 1.
Always good.
It's my favourite thing that Bloodborne has that the others don't: you can parry non-humanoid creatures
I'm doing an arcane build at the moment. Really fun. Thanks for inspiring me to do so.
I got my arcane to 99 this weekend. It’s so fun. I’ve watched all your videos on it, it helped me out so much. Thank you!!
Yeah Bro, Arcane is So Fun
I have gained great insight. I can feel my eyes opening...
This guy is still hearting people after 4 months what a good dude
Edit: He got me too!
Edit: never mind
And there he did it again.
Privileges revoked
Me too
Lol so excited for a heart and you destroyed it by editing. I heart when that happens.
Let this be a lesson
I'll try this when I'm able to. That Choir hunter in Byrgenworth won't stand a chance.
Her name is Yurie just so next time you can say some clwver finishing line using the name '-' since we aways be killing her without a word.
That's the only fight that pissed me off in the entire game. I could not get close to that asshole without him spamming Auger of Abrietas at me one shot from it took away like a third of my health. Also the fight in the Unseen Village Chapel against 3 Hunters.
Thank you for the video! I just finished Bloodborne including it's DLCs for the first time and your video convinced me to make my first character a 99 arcane build, despite not having online access to get specific chalice dungeons for better arcane gems.
She now graduated to become a broccolli woman wrecking beasts with the transformed L2
I’ve been playing Bloodborne for years and I never did an Arcane build. You have convinced me and I thank you
Bro this is hilarious XD I was looking for a guide but I stumbled upon this. Have my like.
This build is so much fun! Thank you for the tips!
Arcane's been my fav build for awhile now, good to see someone's spreading the good word of Kos
Or as some say "Kosm"
Grant us eeeeyyyyyyyes
Hohoho, Majestic, The Hunter Is A Hunter Even In Dream, But Alas Not To Fast
I come back to this video from time to time, its truly amazing to see. Plus gives me an excuse to listen to laurences theme again, still love this video. Just does not get boring in any way, great work mate.
This video has given me the urge to replay bloodborne as an arcane build
How did it go?
@@jackour8167 terribly
@@Turnado1 wow 😅😅
Arcane builds have always been my favorite. So fun!
When your grand wizard homie wants to show you his new mixtape.
And it’s F I R E
This is fucking hilarious. Thank you good hunter. The Old Blood need not be feared with such a blood thirsty hunter tearing back the veil of darkness with flame and arcane power alike. And you can do what you’d like with the doll should such a thing please you.
It's amazing how no matter how many times I finish bloodborne, there will still be a video that pulls me back in.
Just when I thought I was out...
You had me with the bloodstarved beast omfg this is amazing I know what build I'm gonna try in my next playthrough once I've finished my first one.
5:57 My boy just torture danced rom
I'm at a loss for words of how beautiful this video was. Time to finally try an Arcane build
Quality BloodeBorne content in 2019?
Edit: I some times come back to this video every year
Yup
Xx Death xX Quality Bloodborne content in 2020
The editing on this video is absolutely hilarious, crying at @4:29
Arcane is my favorite way to play the game now tbh. 99 Arcane + Kos Parasite = A seriously great time. It allows you to feel really powerful and it's awesome. This video was what inspired me to even make an Arcane build. Which in doing so, gave me a new, refreshed love for the game. This game truly is one of the best games ever made. Thank you for this video.
"Don't give up because someone said it's too hard."
Actually solid life advice.
"Hold my blood vial"
*Uses it*
Bro are we a joke to you
I have 19 vials left
0:32 and thats how Laurence on fire was born
DEEP LORE
I just started playing Bloodborne and I am seriously struggling but I am enjoying the struggle. Watching your video opened my eyes into the possibilities of this game. Would love to give something like this a try once I master the mechanics from my first playthrough.
OMG this is insane! Playing this way literally makes Bloodborne an entirely different game, which is splendid! I actually planned to play my NG+ playthrough with an Arcane / Skill build because for my current NG playthrough I've invested mostly into Skill. And this video alone made me subscribe! :D
"Oh, you are a sick puppy!
You drink the blood of half the town, and now this!
And you talk of beasts?
You hunters are the real killers!"
That makes worse when you realize the moon rune says the great ones are actually pretty chill creatures.
God damn it gehrman. What did you do to them?
"Yes, I am!"
Arc-Hybrid: Is it possible to learn this power?
True Arc: Nor by a Jedi.
can we even talk about the op kos parasite?
i tried it with 99 arcane and i dont know what im doing wrong but it just doesnt stick with me
It’s probably because the kos parasite is a weapon and not a tool, so it likely does have a soft cap unlike arcane tools
Kos parasite doesn't benefit from fire/bolt gems very much. Best you can get is flat arcane or arcane% gems, since it already has an S scaling. Also flat arcane gems makes the transformed L2 do the stupid damage you see in PvP compilations.
@@middox239 You need to have the milkweed rune equipped for it to get it's full moveset, and even then it's very underwhelming without the right gems.
Thanks so much for this Speed Lee! I'm doing this now and it's so fun! Highly recommend trying this to anyone, especially if you've already beaten the game with a Skill / Strength based build.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this video, as it completely inspired me to make my first arcane build.
I've beaten Bloodborne twice: once just messing around with stats and not really knowing what to level up, then another time doing a STR/END build. In both times I kept getting my butt kicked, because I'm not so good at the game apparently and I don't like to be too close to enemies. I always thought an ARC build would be cool, but I was afraid that my lack of game skills and low stats except ARC would make the game impossible for me. But after watching this video, I started a new game focusing on ARC and I'm already so happy with it. Right now I'm in the Cathedral Ward area with 17 VIT and 21 ARC and I'm having a blast with this fire sprayer. Can't wait until I'm able to do Call Beyond!
Thanks so much!!
Imagine how funny would it be to fight the Curse-Rotted Greatwood from DS3 with the Fire Sprayer, the tree turns the Hunter thinking he's just another Ashen One with a sword, then the Hunter just casually sprays his balls to death with a flamethrower.
The fire surge spell is basically a flamethrower but I guess it's not as effective as the flamesprayer.
Fire surge is more to be an asshole in pvp
Guess the Greatwood would learn what it's like to be an Ashen One
sometimes i come back to this video to remind me why i love arcane so much and why i dread all other builds, mostly because the items i want are either super ultra late game like chikage, bloodletter or church pick, i know the tryhards will say "just get the lost version its in the chalice glyph xyzstfu" but i dont have online play for playstation nor do i ever plan to, i got the ps4 for like 6-7 games that are exclusive
The X-ray scan confirmed that my insides are lined with eyes after watching this.
I just wanna say thank you for inspiring me to try this out. 99 arcane is fun as hell
Yeah Bro, Arcane Is Fun 4 Fuc*
I just started playing again picked up where I left off on my arcane character based of this video. Farming chalice for fire gems to help with Orphan. Came back to see it in all its glory. Cheers
Kos, or some say Kosm, has granted this one eyes. I appreciate seeing another user of the arcane arts
Me who never leveled Arcane: Huh, intresting.
Im a scrub, I love this game but I don't know builds or anything. I just upped my arcane to 12 and flamesprayer to +3 and holy shit I just sprayed Vicar Amelia like she was a weed. I never tried to do arcane and I am still in shock. How was it that easy?
After playing this game for so long I thought I had enough of it, but this, this makes me want to get back in the game. Rock on you amazing hunter.
4:29 I want you to know that this edit has haunted me for years, bravo
"What's that smell?"
Can't you tell...you're on fire?
Thank you, that gave me a big smile
God damn I miss bloodborne so much
