@a pupper - Oh, no, there's just this weird out-of-nowhere troll scene where one of the characters pretends that the enemies you've been killing only look like monsters to the player character... and then says "nah, just kidding" and it's never brought up again.
Hi John, just wanted to post this message to you after seing what you said on twitch recently. I get the feeling of hitting a wall with what you’re doing or at least the feeling of you’ve gone as far as you can, also the feeling of people saying comments that they copy and paste to other creators. But for most of your community, including me, we really enjoy your play through series. You definitely inspired me to replay bloodborne after rage quitting in my first play through. Big fan since the harshly critical days, and you’ll probably won’t see this message, but we all look forward to the next chapter of whatever you decide to do next when you complete this game. Keep up the great content!
@@ethanhawthorne1948 Copy and paste comments? Like memes? I've seen those cookie cutter-type comments on other channels, but in this community I mostly see people directly engaging with and commenting on John's content. Or am I misunderstanding?
@@BlackbirdMJ no, even well intented comments like "i like how unique John is, i like how he doesn't yell like other youtubers, i watch him because he is different" stuff like that

I'm still super impressed with how well you are doing with Bloodborne, having in mind that it is your first Soulsborne game. I can't wait for you to tackle more stuff in the DLC! Keep up the incredible job, John!
@@jesielcardenales2108 it depends on how you played it. If you are patience, willing to learn the rhythm of enemies attack, you will managed through it. Or sometimes, the game goes glitch and the boss just stand there without attacking you. Happened to me last night. Its one of the boss that John will fight in the main route of the game.
@@jesielcardenales2108 Yeah it just takes a few times getting super sick of dying and giving up for awhile and coming back lol. I used to think it was to hard too but I'm on my third playthrough now after bearing it twice.
Man, the Holy Moonlight Sword. I slept on it for so long, but I happened to use it in it's transformed mode on my Arcane run, and it has become one of, if not my #1 favorite weapon in the game. So fun.
This is the best series ever, love you John! :D Btw: the queenly flesh is so you can revive the queen(and get a reward), how to(in case you feel like doing it): take it to where you killed Ebrietas and into the rom-like altar, if you do now you have again the chance to join the Vilebloods, which gives you a cool armor set, a rune and a weapon :D
@@DayOfCasual Yes, Ludwig and the _Holy_ _Moonlight_ _Sword_ were synonymous. Not the Moonlight Sword and Ludwig's Holy Blade. That is the mistake John made.
@@khairurrijal2052 That would be funny. Wasn't trying to be too critical with my initial comment or anything, just something I noticed. I'm loving this Bloodborne content.
I think it's perfectly understandable to skip most of the Chalices, but I would say the Pthumeru series of Chalices are worth playing to completion because they're the primary ones with the most significant and unique final boss. The next Pthumeru Chalice following the one you left off on in this video is extremely challenging because it's "cursed", meaning your HP is halved and enemies are generally tougher, and it unfortunately doesn't have a unique boss at the end of it but I still think it's an interesting challenge because you can't afford to be nearly as careless with the fight as you can in the usual instance of the fight outside the Chalice, and you'll likely have to go through some trial and error to devise a new strategy to get through it even though it's a boss you've beaten before. After that, the final Pthumeru Chalice will serve as a worthwhile finale. It's also worth mentioning that cursed Chalices are actually more rewarding, as enemies can drop randomized cursed bloodgems which often grant much greater benefits than normal bloodgems but with drawbacks which may be negligible or may be too troublesome to justify the benefit. You never know when you might get a gem that makes your favorite weapon significantly stronger.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I've read that Airling Loran/Isz Chalices are very high level, so I think I'll hold off on those for NG+ or something - I'll try to finish out the Pthumeru ones though!
@@JohnWolfe Another useful tip is that chalice dungeons don't scale with NG+. So it's perfectly valid to wait until later NG+ cycles because their difficulty stays the same.
Hey John, love the series but you missed one important thing. The elevator that you used the eye pendant on has a secret compartment under it. You need to activate the elevator and hop off before it goes up to access this compartment. In that compartment is an item you have to take back to the grand cathedral in the nightmare to access everyone's favorite part of the DLC
Laurence always seems to be hit or miss difficulty wise. Some people are like "Wow this guy makes me want to commit a war crime!!!!" And others are like "eh, I did it first try. What was the big deal?".
This is so satisfying, I just got caught up with your Bloodborne series 1 minute before you posted this. Thanks for making these, I love watching them and seeing you experience the game!
One of the best DLCs ever, glad you're still having fun lol The visual design of the arena for Living Failures is one of my faves. Soulsborne games have amazing art direction.
Living Failures boss area and err.. I’m just gonna say “final main game boss area” to avoid spoilers are my favorites in the game. Honestly they’re all good though. I just like flowers i guess haha
Some funfacts, the holy moonlight sword is actually the original legendary sword that ludwig used, the one you use is a replica inspired by it The arcane user hunter that is paying in the elevator is actually vicar amelia in her human form, she went there after you killed her
@@acrustykrab the hunters nightmare (the dlc) is a place where all hunters go when they died because of a curse that was set to all hunters, thats why the line when you go to the dlc says "curse the fiends, theyr children too", your character basically is there to see the secret of the nightmare and find a way to break the curse, thats also why you can acces the dlc after killing amelia
@@alimahmoud3494 he died in the odeon tumb, so he should be in a similar area in the nightmare that you cant acces or since he fully became a beast he didnt went to the hunters nightmare
Despite Holy Moonlight Sword scaling well with arcane, it is actually an excellent weapon for a physical build. Mostly a strength weapon which deals rather good damage even if you meet the minimum arcane requirement of the weapon. The untransformed state's uncharged, charged, follow up of the charged, backstep and running R2 are rather good moves. Its transformation attack has massive superarmour on it and even combos into the first R1 of the transformed state. The transformed state's R2s are even cooler, which still deal excellent damage even if you meet the minimum arcane requirement. The transformed state's L2 attack though is somewhat limited despite looking fancy.
The Undead Giant might've given you a bit of extra trouble because you were still wearing the Choir attire. Also, it seems like bursting his boil puts him into a "frenzy" mode with extra moves, namely that spin with his balls trailing behind
i wasn’t expecting a video so soon, especially after you said in your stream a few days ago that the new video wouldn’t be up for a little while. what a nice surprise! thank you so much for your hard work john.🤗 i’ve really enjoyed keeping up with this series, it’s a nice break from college work. ❤️
The first part reminded me of Alchemilla Hospital in Silent Hill with those bloody nurses and their sounds when they die, oh and you with that chainsaw-like weapon 😂
There's definitely a lot of repeated content in the dungeons, but you will encounter new and cool stuff eventually, including some new bosses and weapons and OP bloodgems. The dungeons operate almost like their own campaign separate from the main one. Lots and lots of rehash, but also a lot of interesting new encounters and loot. It also does have a finite end with a unique final boss. Once you have beaten it, there's really no reason to return to chalices ever again.
I've never played bloodborne, but I do really enjoy watching you play this series. I'm pretty bad at most games so this is definitely out of my league, so I really appreciate that you always show us new items and discuss the lore vs just powering through. It makes for a really enjoyable watch.
also, that white habit woman who is praying, its Vicar Amelia, the beast you fought in Grand Cathederal. She regains her human form in the Nightmare. I don't know why though.
From what I understand the Hunters Nightmare is a reflection of the past. Hence why Maria still has the Rakuyo (She threw it into the well after what happened after the Fishing Hamlet). Laurence exists, and also why Laurence's skull is human still.
That's not Amelia, but a prior Vicar of the healing church. Just because she's citing a common verse among members of the healing church, doesn't mean she's Amelia. If she were Amelia she would be sent to the nightmare as the cleric beast she was when she died, like how we see Laurence or any other beasts trapped in the nightmare.
Hey John, a tip for your other/next playthrough, you probably read this before but some npcs have different dialogue when you wear church clothes, ludwig was one of them
The moonlight greatsword is a weapon that appears in every Fromsoft game. Even ones you wouldn't think it would. The sword you've been using is a copy of the moonlight sword, basically people who wanted to be as cool as Ludwig made that one to try and emulate him. Its fun to use, you can either have it as a longsword or turn it into a greatsword and shoot energy blasts at the cost of bullets. And yeah, the chalice dungeons get repetitive. Also they get very hard, like NG+ hard. See, the chalices don't reset or increase in difficulty like everything else in NG+, they're set. But eventually they're as difficulty as NG+ and NG++ stuff. Which is why I personally say don't worry about doing it for this youtube series.
I'm enjoying this playthrough so much John! I really love how much fun you genuinely seem to be having with it. Your enthusiasm for the game makes it feel fresh. I hope you play more games that make you happy, even if the analytics won't be happy lol
Using the loch shield and taking cover under the doorways ( for when they summon the meteor shower attack ) make Living Failures a lot easier to deal with
Watching all of your bloodborne videos have brought so much joy to me, so thank you! Also, it’s let me have the courage to try the game after 5 years and actually enjoy it. I’ve always ignored it Bc everyone said it was too hard and shunned newcomers. So thank you for everything!
About the chalice dungeons: Personally I would not mind see you play through all of them, without cutting anything out. But I understand not everyone wants that. And yes, there are bosses that you already fought, which I agree is a little mehh... But I hope you'll still do them, because there are a few really cool bosses in them. The mehh ones are worth doing to see the new ones. Usually the lower depths has the unique and more fun ones. Also, I hope you are enjoying the game so far. It's probably one of my top 5 games of all time, and seeing you play it is really fun. Looking forward to see your final thoughts by the end of it!
For the Giant Boss fight, you should dodge into the incoming attack. Meaning if he/she/it swings the left arm (claw) dodge towards/into the arm. Not away from it.
You cannot hold more than one blood vial from NPCs, so you need to "spend" Ariana's in order to get the one from the Research Hall (which you should get, at least to test it, each NPC blood vial has a different effect) Also, you forgot to go there again to give her brain fluid again, if you want to finish here mini-quest
John! Awesome man. This playthrough has been great! I had a son in February of 2020 and I can't play video games anymore. It just doesn't happen hahaha. This playthrough has been my saving grace in between meals, park trips, changing poopy diapers, throwing fits, etc. It's been you for the win!! Hahaha thanks man! And when my son is old enough he'll be a John Wolfe fan.🤘🏻
This is another 'You've inspired me to try' comment, though I have played Bloodborne before and ended up ragequitting. Seeing how far you've come has shown me how much fun the game appears to be much later. I hope you give Nioh/Nioh 2 a shot for a weeby loot-based take on the 'soulsborne' formula once you're done with this game. Keep it up!
Will have to watch tomorrow as I’m heading to bed but wanted to thank you for the upload John!!! Edit; morning! I’m glad I’m not the only person who had trouble with these guys. They hit like damn trucks on NG+ 4
I just want to say that I really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into these videos. Thank you for bringing us another awesome one, and keep up the good work!
Thanks John. Your a great RUclipsr. Since the beginning I've been wanting to play this game and when you started to play it I started it too. I'm always a little ahead of you, so I can watch your videos, but it's good to see how I play vs another person playing. Also it helps me with items and things I miss in my play through. Thank you John Oh and BTW, I'm 105 and still have difficulty with chalice dungeons, so excited to see that 😀
I'm so excited to be watching this. You're doing so well at the game, I'm ecstatic about it! And the care you take in exploring the environment and reading descriptions is wonderful. I love listening to your theories about the world lore, and I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks so much for this series, it's been so great so far.
Couldn't get to sleep last night, so I got maybe an hour of rest before the 14-hour shift I had at work today. A busy Friday night no less. This is exactly what I needed after all that. Thanks again for playing one of my favorite games. Forever one of my favorite youtube channels 👍
I know many have said this but watching you play through this game actually makes it feel accessible for others to play and really makes me want to start playing! I'm so happy I've gotten to watch you play through it. It's been so fun so far and can't wait for the next!
I love the face at 7.30 after saying "you gotta cheese it this way" and getting killed by the church nun. Been in the same position and know the feeling.
My favorite part of this playthrough is John's reactions to the weirdo behavior from the npcs. His faces at Ludwig's maniacal neighing and brain fluid lady were everything. Thank you for the videos John!
Great episode, still loving this series. I find the less challenging and unique areas just as entertaining to watch as the more difficult parts. It's great to see the progress of this series, even the grindy parts. It's also great to see the upgrading (Hunter's Dream) parts included in the videos. Keep up the good work!
I'm so proud of you John for keeping up with this series! This is my first time hearing about the Soulsborne series, and I'm watching through your experience. You've been playing extremely well, and it's inspired me to test it out for myself! Thank you for uploading and stay consistent. I love your channel so much!
This is exactly what I love watching after work, Bloodborne has been consuming my life lately. I started a new file and met Henryk for the first time and it was cool how I encountered new enemies my second time
I'm loving every playthrough. I was super excited to see your reaction to Ludwig in the last video. He was one of the more troublesome bosses for me thinking I ruled the world NG+5 at the time... And then I got slapped. Beast blood pellets really helped, especially on bosses where being aggressive (most bosses it seems is the best playstyle) bodes better success... Undead giants are one of those since after popping 1-2 sacks, they're tanks. I'm excited for the Loran Chalice!
Love you stuff dude especially blood borne cause I played it so much and raged even more so it’s kinda a nice feeling watching other people experience the suffering that is blood borne
just wanted to say thank you for keeping us all entertained :) ive gotten fond of the game thanks to your series! i always watch your content with a smile and its really nice to chill in bed on a sad, gloomy day and spend time relaxing with your videos.
The architecture in this game is absolutely beautiful and there's so much of it; all the buildings, statues, doors etc are gorgeous and there are areas that would truly be so awe inspiring if they existed in real life. I read it took 2.5 to create Bloodborne and wow does it show; a most sincere tip of the hat to the designers and developers.
I look forward to your videos every week, seeing you play bloodborne has added to my anticipation of seeing your video for week. Thank you so much reading into the lore, I love it!
Watching u made me excited to play this game so I bought it and am really enjoying it! Your the only RUclipsr that I still watch lol most others get annoying after awhile, but not you! Keep being yourself cuz ur awesome!:)
Hey John! I just want to say that I’m loving this series. My brother and I are always waiting for you to upload Bloodborne, watching you makes me want to play it too (I never really liked these types of games until you started playing it)
WOO-HOO! That battle with The Living Failures - it had some seriously EPIC music! This LP has been a blast; it feels like being there, all the while you're just blowing past these bosses (like my hands can't anymore) ...KUDOS To YOU!😎 Thank You So Much, John🥰
Thx John! New treats for the weekend! Really enjoy this series since the day you posted it. It is really enjoyable to watch also encouraged me to pick back up DS3 with more patience. I don't own a console, so have to bear with no bloodborne till the day I have.
I’m honestly enjoying your chalice dungeon content as much as the dlc and main game. Also, if after this you decide to do other soulsborne games, I, and I’m sure others, will be very happy to watch your playthroughs.
I'm so glad John likes the whirligig, it's such a fun weapon. Also v thankful for this series, can definitely see myself coming back watching these episodes again.
Just started the dlc myself gotta say Ludwig is making life extremely difficult thanks for inspiring me to pick this game up again aside from the dlc its not as hard as some make it out to be
Those big red spiders in the chalice dungeon legitimately jump scared me lmao I get what you mean about the chalice dungeons John but even with the repeats I still enjoy watching you play them. It's interesting to see new monsters every now and then down there and I'm sure the bosses will eventually get more diverse. I'm very excited to watch you fight Maria, I bet she's gonna be a doozy. Awesome video John!
Hey John, now you have Alfred's executioner badge you can buy his armour set so if you want to dress up as a golden pyramid head the choice is now yours! (Fully in support of fashion-borne here).

I don't know why though.
From what I understand the Hunters Nightmare is a reflection of the past. Hence why Maria still has the Rakuyo (She threw it into the well after what happened after the Fishing Hamlet). Laurence exists, and also why Laurence's skull is human still.
That's not Amelia, but a prior Vicar of the healing church. Just because she's citing a common verse among members of the healing church, doesn't mean she's Amelia. If she were Amelia she would be sent to the nightmare as the cleric beast she was when she died, like how we see Laurence or any other beasts trapped in the nightmare.
@@Saru-yr3qk that makes a ton of sense actually.
Going to have to have a whole meal for this.
Usually when you fall to your death "souls" or in this case "echoes" are on the ledge you fell from.
If you die from falling ur echoes are always where you fell from.
The Undead Giants are some of the "funnest" chalice dungeon bosses. All of them really like their one shots. Good luck as you get deeper!
Hey John, a tip for your other/next playthrough, you probably read this before but some npcs have different dialogue when you wear church clothes, ludwig was one of them
It was on this day John uploaded more Bloodborne. And ye the people did rejoice. Blessed be. ✨✨
It's the morningstars on his back, trhey swing around causing extra damage.
The moonlight greatsword is a weapon that appears in every Fromsoft game. Even ones you wouldn't think it would. The sword you've been using is a copy of the moonlight sword, basically people who wanted to be as cool as Ludwig made that one to try and emulate him. Its fun to use, you can either have it as a longsword or turn it into a greatsword and shoot energy blasts at the cost of bullets.
And yeah, the chalice dungeons get repetitive. Also they get very hard, like NG+ hard. See, the chalices don't reset or increase in difficulty like everything else in NG+, they're set. But eventually they're as difficulty as NG+ and NG++ stuff. Which is why I personally say don't worry about doing it for this youtube series.
Man, all those blood echos lost. It's like a kick to the balls. But John keeps on going, strong and bold.
I'm enjoying this playthrough so much John! I really love how much fun you genuinely seem to be having with it. Your enthusiasm for the game makes it feel fresh. I hope you play more games that make you happy, even if the analytics won't be happy lol
Using the loch shield and taking cover under the doorways ( for when they summon the meteor shower attack ) make Living Failures a lot easier to deal with
Thanks for all of this content John, I'm really loving these long plays! They're the perfect thing to watch over a few nights before bed!
I was going to sleep but....
John comes up with these video titles because he has a lot of insight
I love the anticipation of having to wait for a video then randomly checking RUclips and seeing John's face pop up with some gasly creature
The lady in the chair still has stuff to say about the brain fluid...
Watching all of your bloodborne videos have brought so much joy to me, so thank you! Also, it’s let me have the courage to try the game after 5 years and actually enjoy it. I’ve always ignored it Bc everyone said it was too hard and shunned newcomers. So thank you for everything!
Amazing playthrough, John! Having a great time watching. Keep on kicking ass!
About the chalice dungeons: Personally I would not mind see you play through all of them, without cutting anything out. But I understand not everyone wants that. And yes, there are bosses that you already fought, which I agree is a little mehh... But I hope you'll still do them, because there are a few really cool bosses in them. The mehh ones are worth doing to see the new ones. Usually the lower depths has the unique and more fun ones.
Also, I hope you are enjoying the game so far. It's probably one of my top 5 games of all time, and seeing you play it is really fun. Looking forward to see your final thoughts by the end of it!
The chalice dungeons do have a lot of repeat bosses and repeat enemies, but the final bosses are almost always unique or fresh.
For the Giant Boss fight, you should dodge into the incoming attack. Meaning if he/she/it swings the left arm (claw) dodge towards/into the arm. Not away from it.
The "Boom Hammer" was created by an old hunter named Ash Williams.
Groovy.
Slick.
You cannot hold more than one blood vial from NPCs, so you need to "spend" Ariana's in order to get the one from the Research Hall (which you should get, at least to test it, each NPC blood vial has a different effect) Also, you forgot to go there again to give her brain fluid again, if you want to finish here mini-quest
John!
Awesome man. This playthrough has been great! I had a son in February of 2020 and I can't play video games anymore. It just doesn't happen hahaha. This playthrough has been my saving grace in between meals, park trips, changing poopy diapers, throwing fits, etc. It's been you for the win!! Hahaha thanks man! And when my son is old enough he'll be a John Wolfe fan.🤘🏻
Even by today's standards, this game is a visual masterpiece.
Highly anticipating a remake and/or a sequel!!! 😈😈😈
Thankyou John for this playthrough!
This is another 'You've inspired me to try' comment, though I have played Bloodborne before and ended up ragequitting. Seeing how far you've come has shown me how much fun the game appears to be much later. I hope you give Nioh/Nioh 2 a shot for a weeby loot-based take on the 'soulsborne' formula once you're done with this game. Keep it up!
Will have to watch tomorrow as I’m heading to bed but wanted to thank you for the upload John!!!
Edit; morning! I’m glad I’m not the only person who had trouble with these guys. They hit like damn trucks on NG+ 4
John check the elevator after you fight the two hunters , the one before going to the research hall.There are a few secrets in that elevator.
I just want to say that I really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into these videos. Thank you for bringing us another awesome one, and keep up the good work!
Fuck yeah lets go!! I genuinely love this series so much mainly because it’s so nice to see John play a game he actually seems to enjoy
Thanks John. Your a great RUclipsr. Since the beginning I've been wanting to play this game and when you started to play it I started it too. I'm always a little ahead of you, so I can watch your videos, but it's good to see how I play vs another person playing. Also it helps me with items and things I miss in my play through. Thank you John
Oh and BTW, I'm 105 and still have difficulty with chalice dungeons, so excited to see that 😀
I'm so excited to be watching this. You're doing so well at the game, I'm ecstatic about it! And the care you take in exploring the environment and reading descriptions is wonderful. I love listening to your theories about the world lore, and I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Thanks so much for this series, it's been so great so far.
John got me back into playing Bloodborne and I might be a tiny bit late to the party but... Got the platinum!
Thanks for the nudge, John!
Couldn't get to sleep last night, so I got maybe an hour of rest before the 14-hour shift I had at work today. A busy Friday night no less. This is exactly what I needed after all that. Thanks again for playing one of my favorite games. Forever one of my favorite youtube channels 👍
I know many have said this but watching you play through this game actually makes it feel accessible for others to play and really makes me want to start playing! I'm so happy I've gotten to watch you play through it. It's been so fun so far and can't wait for the next!
I love the face at 7.30 after saying "you gotta cheese it this way" and getting killed by the church nun. Been in the same position and know the feeling.
My favorite part of this playthrough is John's reactions to the weirdo behavior from the npcs. His faces at Ludwig's maniacal neighing and brain fluid lady were everything. Thank you for the videos John!
This walktrough is like a great tv show ... I can't wait for the next episode
Great episode, still loving this series. I find the less challenging and unique areas just as entertaining to watch as the more difficult parts. It's great to see the progress of this series, even the grindy parts. It's also great to see the upgrading (Hunter's Dream) parts included in the videos. Keep up the good work!
Man, it's been such an adventure so far - I really appreciate that you're committed to finishing a series!
I'm so proud of you John for keeping up with this series! This is my first time hearing about the Soulsborne series, and I'm watching through your experience. You've been playing extremely well, and it's inspired me to test it out for myself! Thank you for uploading and stay consistent. I love your channel so much!
This is exactly what I love watching after work, Bloodborne has been consuming my life lately. I started a new file and met Henryk for the first time and it was cool how I encountered new enemies my second time
I'm loving every playthrough. I was super excited to see your reaction to Ludwig in the last video. He was one of the more troublesome bosses for me thinking I ruled the world NG+5 at the time... And then I got slapped. Beast blood pellets really helped, especially on bosses where being aggressive (most bosses it seems is the best playstyle) bodes better success... Undead giants are one of those since after popping 1-2 sacks, they're tanks.
I'm excited for the Loran Chalice!
Love you stuff dude especially blood borne cause I played it so much and raged even more so it’s kinda a nice feeling watching other people experience the suffering that is blood borne
Yay, more Bloodborne! I have really enjoyed watching your playthrough. I have never played this game myself, so this has been blind for me too.
just wanted to say thank you for keeping us all entertained :) ive gotten fond of the game thanks to your series! i always watch your content with a smile and its really nice to chill in bed on a sad, gloomy day and spend time relaxing with your videos.
8:42 when your sibling won't leave you alone
John going all in with this series
So proud of John for playing something different, especially souls-type of a game, and see him interested in the game, keep a good job!
The architecture in this game is absolutely beautiful and there's so much of it; all the buildings, statues, doors etc are gorgeous and there are areas that would truly be so awe inspiring if they existed in real life.
I read it took 2.5 to create Bloodborne and wow does it show; a most sincere tip of the hat to the designers and developers.
I look forward to your videos every week, seeing you play bloodborne has added to my anticipation of seeing your video for week. Thank you so much reading into the lore, I love it!
I finally caught up from falling behind 10+ bloodbourne videos.... now I feel empty lol
Watching u made me excited to play this game so I bought it and am really enjoying it! Your the only RUclipsr that I still watch lol most others get annoying after awhile, but not you! Keep being yourself cuz ur awesome!:)
Friday night upload nice.
Aww, like easing Ludwig's conscience and him giving me the sword and not just smashing his head lol
Hey John! I just want to say that I’m loving this series. My brother and I are always waiting for you to upload Bloodborne, watching you makes me want to play it too (I never really liked these types of games until you started playing it)
WOO-HOO! That battle with The Living Failures - it had some seriously EPIC music!
This LP has been a blast; it feels like being there, all the while you're just blowing past these bosses (like my hands can't anymore) ...KUDOS To YOU!😎
Thank You So Much, John🥰
Thx John! New treats for the weekend! Really enjoy this series since the day you posted it. It is really enjoyable to watch also encouraged me to pick back up DS3 with more patience.
I don't own a console, so have to bear with no bloodborne till the day I have.
When you fell off the ledge I got the full on 'missed one of the stairs in the dark' stomach jolt!
I’m honestly enjoying your chalice dungeon content as much as the dlc and main game.
Also, if after this you decide to do other soulsborne games, I, and I’m sure others, will be very happy to watch your playthroughs.
24:35 - the moment I have been waiting for. I know it was an accident but that was satisfying.
I'm so glad John likes the whirligig, it's such a fun weapon. Also v thankful for this series, can definitely see myself coming back watching these episodes again.
Just started the dlc myself gotta say Ludwig is making life extremely difficult thanks for inspiring me to pick this game up again aside from the dlc its not as hard as some make it out to be
Ludwig is easily one of the most difficult bosses in the game. If you made it all the way to him, you can beat him! Don't give up! :)
@@ZombifyMeCapn just beat Ludwig today actually it felt like it took an eternity lol
@@johnhammons9088 NICE 🤘
Epic stuff, can't wait to see the rest of the boss fights
Those big red spiders in the chalice dungeon legitimately jump scared me lmao
I get what you mean about the chalice dungeons John but even with the repeats I still enjoy watching you play them. It's interesting to see new monsters every now and then down there and I'm sure the bosses will eventually get more diverse. I'm very excited to watch you fight Maria, I bet she's gonna be a doozy.
Awesome video John!
Hey John, now you have Alfred's executioner badge you can buy his armour set so if you want to dress up as a golden pyramid head the choice is now yours! (Fully in support of fashion-borne here).
The choir armor you’re wearing to fight the Undead Giant isn’t great against physical damage, only arcane
