    Complete guide on playing a perfect game of Bloodborne, maximizing NPC content, all quests, summons, chalice dungeons. All bosses including DLC and optional bosses. Pretty close to a platinum trophy guide, minus getting the 3 endings.
    Thanks everyone who asked for this! Knowing there was a demand helped motivate me to produce it.

    Playing Bloodborne for the first time as my first souls game, I’d already heard about the difficulty and the Father Gascoigne fight specifically. I rang his summon bell not knowing what it was, he pops up and I freak out and start running away but I can’t shake him off. Then he starts wrecking enemies for me and that’s how I learned about summons.

    The "pacifist option" for Djura is one of my favorite things in the game, since I discovered it I do it in all of my runs. Just by adding this, Old Yarnham' lore becomes clearer and more interesting, it makes you doubt about what you re really doing and why. I love Djura and the Powder Kegs, and his dialogues elevates him as my favorite Hunter in the game.

    I think the numbing mists outside of Cainhurst are more storytelling than anything. I believe they were used in the fight between Vilebloods and Executioners. The one that ended with Logarius sitting atop the castle. They stop healing, and the only in-game use really is against other hunters. So it's an evironmental way of showing people were fighting each other here.

    • @nathanbarrett4402

      @@ji_mothy Honestly, don't. There might be a vocal minority of fans that want it to be a thing, but I think you are way better off using salient terms. "Carefully placed item(s)" is already good to convey that it's good video game design. If it was considered good game design only in the Souls series specifically, a Souls-specific term would be okay. Side note on this topic: When you did DS2 you were repeatedly talking about FBOY. I have not played DS2, so I am completely out of the loop. You did explain FBOY means fragrant branches of something, but I wish you would have explained the mechanic.
      I feel like the format of "playing x as it's designer intended" has a lot more potential than you might think. Try to include an audience that is interested in the stories, worlds and possibilities of the medium as an art form, but does not interact with the software themselves for any reason - mind you, it takes a lot of time to research and play games in the way you are doing, most people never bother even finishing their games.

      @@moritzkorsch9029 As a Counter; The Soulsborne series as a whole is obtuse about its design choices as a whole. Considering the series pioneered an entire new genre as well, a lot of the typical Game Design terms can't qualify as being applicable anymore. Especially with the bigger "Universal Healing Item" concept in the Estus Flask removes a large portion of typical "Generosity" design in that where other games would give you the weapons/ammo/healing necessary. The Soulsborne games having Estus as a whole can't really do that as much. As such, a term that fits with the Soulsborne series' design elements helps point out what may have been the Developer's attempts at a small amount of aid to the Players if they simply explore more.

    13:40 third umbilical cord doesnt actually refer to 1/3 it means 3rd its actual name is Cord of The Eye (the third umbilical cord name is very confusing and entirely the fault of translation)
    furthur each person who "births" an infant produces 1
    therefore it is actually reasonable to assume there are 4 infinats in the game.
    we know one is mergo's (presumably the child of Yharnam amd Oedon)
    one is Iosefka's baby (no idea which god tho, maybe Oedon)
    one is Arianna's (likely Oedon)
    and the last might well be from Kos (though some say Kosm)

    • @JackBz
      @JackBz 5 месяцев назад +23

      Perfectly explained, another thing to note is that "One third of umbilical cord" is a translation exclusive to the US version. In the UK it's more correctly called "Third Umbilical Cord"

    • @nathanbarrett4402
      @nathanbarrett4402 5 месяцев назад

      You're right about the translation, but fake Iosefka's cord isn't actually from a baby she's had. Fake Iosefka will never give birth like Arianna as she doesn't have the corrupted Vileblood needed to do so. She has simply gone mad. Extra evidence is before the blood moon she drops Oedon Writhe which indicates that Oedon has searched her mind and seen is a woman capable of birth but not the right blood much like Adella. The other Oedon rune indicates (formless) one who is completely incpabable of birth. (Dweller, Old Lady, Young girl) Her cord is Wilhem's cord as its description tells us he looked for it. We know that Wilhem had a cord because of what happened to Rom and as Iosefka had access to The Forbidden Woods she simply stole it from Byrgenwerth, who took it from Kos and her childs corpse.
      The father of Arianna's child is indeed Oedon. He could also be the father of Mergo as hes the only great one who seems to impregnate but we cant be 100% sure.
      The final cord in the Old Workshop is the most mysterious. Only Cut content from the Version 1.0 tells us its origin which is that it originates from a child of blood of Cainhurst. This makes sense as it gives a proper reason for the Church attacking Cainhurst as 'corrupted blood' is bullshit given its almost certain that Laurence was the one who gave them said blood in the first place. Not 100% certain as it relies on cut content, but its not contradicted ingame and was probably removed as they wanted to focus on the 'murdered child' sin of the Hunters in dlc which was much stronger overall compared to one item description.

    • @joshuareesor1756
      @joshuareesor1756 5 месяцев назад +6

      I think Iosefka just has the cord and we don't get it from a child like Arianna. Its description talks about Willem seeking the cord, implying that she got it from Byrgenwerth, which they most likely got from Kos' child when they raided the Fishing Hamlet (and probably used on Rom too).
      As for the Workshop cord, it might have something to do with the Vilebloods and Annalise's child of blood. While this is not strictly canon, a patched-out description of that cord mentions that it originated "in the child of the Vilebloods," so the child of blood was originally born and used by the Healing Chruch to beckon the Moon Presence. Whether that's still true is unknown, but there aren't many clean alternatives, so that's the closest answer to where that cord came from.

Since the queen states only you and her remain of the vilebloods after you take her oath, there would be no canonical remaining supporters of her rule, none that would know or care if she was killed anyways. By taking his own life, he in a way joins his master as a martyr for the church after having returned his crown to his altar

  • @cloud1824
    @cloud1824 5 месяцев назад +110

    Great video! I have a couple notes and other things to add.
    - If you do the DLC *before* killing Mergo's Wet Nurse, the Doll has a couple extra lines of dialogue after you beat Maria and Orphan. Makes for a pretty anticlimactic Wet Nurse fight, but that's not too different from normal, and the dialogue is pretty interesting. (Edit: someone else already caught this one! I'm only leaving it here for completeness' sake)
    - The "kin/great ones are always weak to bolt" thing is actually a misconception-a lot aren't, including Amygdala, Moon Presence, winter lanterns, and of course everything related to Kos. But, the great ones tied to Byrgenwerth/the Church's research with Ebrietas are (and the ones tied *directly* to Ebrietas are weak to thrust).
    - I'm not sure what the mechanical deal is with the lead elixirs, but it does have a lore justification. As for the numbing mist, maybe it's for the Bloody Crow fight? Or maybe for the player if they choose to go full Vileblood and start invading others.
    - Gehrman and Maria have the same death animation, which is cool.
    - I actually prefer playing as a female hunter, story-wise, because of Bloodborne's themes around gender and power. Also, it changes Arianna's dialogue: instead of flirting with you when you first meet, she says "This is no place for ladies" and that she "Wouldn't want to drag you down, too" which I think is really valuable information for understanding Yharnam's social climate.

    Nice work bud. I have yet to finish the chalice dungeons, now I want to try. Quick note, you missed some locked dialogue for the Doll by killing Mergo's Wet-nurse before killing the Orphan of Kos. It seems like the Doll and Gherman have corollaries in the DLC in Maria and Orphan respectively, so after you kill one and talk to the Doll she mentions it. However, you miss the dialogue regarding Gherman if you set the Hunter's Dream on fire before killing Orphan.

      they’re very same-y, just not enough variety with the tileset, and there are a few enemy placements that are clearly not as well thought out(spider summoning ladies in a locked room) it is all just, like clearly lackluster compared to main game content. Glad that they ran through the idea of smaller dungeons again with the caves and tombs in elden ring though, they feel like a spiritual successor.

      As someone who has gotten the platinum trophy for this game I seriously despise the chalice dungeons, because of how much shit you have to do to fight the yharnam queen. And every dungeon basically looks the exact same, it tends to get super boring and repetitive after a while.

    Honestly, the beasts having resistances to the great ones stronger attacks is a very interesting fact that I've never seen pointed out anywhere else. kind of makes you wonder if it's even more evidence of multiple great ones Waging a war Yharnam through different means and avatars. One through the beast plague and the other through great one transformations.

    • @fastestturtle4939
      @fastestturtle4939 5 месяцев назад +3

      I see it more as the great ones attacks needing insight to be effective. The more ignorant you are, the less they have effect if they even have any.
      An example of this is the insight needed to see the attacks of the church hunters with the eyes on the lantern.
      Addendum: i also think (not sure) that some damage types also do more damaga if the player has higher insight. Not only talking about the frenzy meter.

    Tonitrus and the bolt paper are placed before parl because it makes sense in the lore for them to be there. In your quest to find "mechanicaly" good item placement, you forgot lore reasons item placement is a thing.
    EDIT: Alfred wasn't killed by a vileblood. He killed himself to become a "martyr" like his master, Martyr Logarius

    • @selfawaretrashcan4594
      @selfawaretrashcan4594 5 месяцев назад

      You do realize they're not dichotomous, right? It can be there for lore and mechanical reasons. As an opinion, as a developer I would prioritize ensure mechanical reasons are embedded with lore which seems to be similar to how Fromsoft designs their worlds.
      Further, you're making an assumption with the faith of Alfred. There is nothing explicitly stating that he took his life to emulate his martyr. I want to make it clear that I'm not saying you're wrong, but these things are left for interpretation. He could have been assassinated or he could've killed himself to prevent turning into a beast as his pupils are collapsing and we see him become ravenous.

    • @Simonsavvi

      @@selfawaretrashcan4594 you're right on the first paragraph, but I think alfred's death is pretty cut and dry. He wanted to avenge logarius, he did, then brought the crown of illusions to the statue he was praying and killed himself. His mind was already gone by the time he killed the queen as he's already rambling nonsense, and there are no vilebloods left to kill him for revenge, as indicated by the queen's lines:
      "Visitor… I claim no subjects, but here lieth Our throne. Kneel afore us… …or get thee gone."
      and
      "Visitor… Moon-scented hunter… I am Annalise, Queen of Castle Cainhurst. Ruler of the Vilebloods, and sworn enemy of the church. Yet, our people are murdered, and we are prisoner to this wretched mask. What is it thou’rt in search of?"

    I really enjoyed this. I've cleared Bloodborne a few times but I've never had the patience to optimize as many NPC quests as possible so it was interesting to see the depth in some of them and how they can be used for summons. I missed out on quite a few of them. Cool to see you use the Church Pick. In my playthroughs, I'd always find myself using the Saw Cleaver and Kirkhamme before I knew it. This might be the last video of yours that I watch, I'm going to pass away after those Laurence Fishburne puns.

    Okay woah, you probably get this a lot I’m assuming but you are VERY professional. When I clicked on this video, I assumed it had like 130k views or something. I listen to videos while I drive as music distracts me. So, keep in mind I was simply listening and not watching. But man, I just started watching it as I arrived home and I totally thought you were like a medium-ly big RUclipsr, but you only have 23k subs. Holy crap, I feel like you should have a couple 100k because you are SO good at this! Your voice is very enthusiastic and your mic quality is very good. You’re also very funny and enjoyable to watch. It actually shocked me seeing that I was WAY off. Keep up the good work man, you just earned a viewer and sub 👍🏻

    It's always fun to see stuff you missed or better said all quest-lines of the NPCs shown in one neat little run.
    BUT one thing you did sadly out of order was killing Wet nurse before finishing the DLC, for if the Workshop is on fire you will no longer get the special dialog with the Doll about Gehrman (also missed the dialog with her after the Maria fight.)[I know there wasn't a hard focus on dialog specific things, but that the connection between Maria, the Doll as well as Gehrman wasn't really adressed at all kinda does bring a sour taste for someone that platniumed the game as well only rather recently].
