So there is a fun secret to Bloodborne enemy spawns, certain enemies don't spawn unless you have a minimum amount of insight. You can really make the game much easier at lower insight and be happily oblivious to the terrors that lurk behind the real world. Note: this only works for the earlier parts of the night. "Slenderman" is one of the one you can have not spawn.
Ik the amagdalas are 40 pre rom to appear and after rom they’re just there. And the slender men in the witches fight spawn if you have anything that’s not 0 insight but idk abt outside the arena
Since you asked: The Tonitrus is in fact rather useful especially against enemies which in a lack of a better word look like/are alien. It's transformed version deals electrical damage against which these enemies are weak against. Of course, bolt paper does the same thing but from a cost perspective it is better to have a decent levelled Tonitrus at hand as a back up plan if you're facing these enemies and your normal strategy doesn't help. Essentially: If it looks like it crawled out of the woodworks: kill it with fire and if it looks like your average cavedweller living in the eternal gloom of non-announcements for Bloodborne 2 strike it down with lightning from a clear blue sky.
I wanted to give some combat and general advice that I feel is good for enjoying the game. Combat: 1. Shoot the dogs with your gun. Even the weakest gun will stun any of the dogs with one shot, making them easier to deal with. 2. People have mentioned this but it does merit mentioning again because it's one of the biggest part of Bloodborne's combat and what sets it apart from other Souls games. When you get hit and part of your health bar turns orange, hitting the enemy will heal part of the orange back into permanent health. This is called "Rally" and there are some weapons, bloodgems, and runes that assist this system of combat. 3. Bosses in this game kind fall into 2 categories: human like and non-human like. Bigger, non-human like bosses typically have a "Limb" system where you can break limbs to stun/stagger them for viscerals and do more damage to the broken limbs. Human like bosses typically can be parried with shots in order to use visceral attacks on them. General: 1. When looking at items, you can press the Square button to "display" the item. This brings up a larger image of the item with some lore or other text for it. This can be done for EVERY item in the game. I highly recommend doing this as it can tell you lore for Yharnam, give you an idea of what an item does, or helps you figure out hints about how items/weapons can be used or where to go. There have been a few items that you've already used that have significant story information that I feel you may have missed, but they can always be looked up later online. 2. Some elevators can be jumped off of to access secret with goodies or access to shortcuts/new areas. Make sure you pay attention for ledges to jump onto whenever you come to any elevator. There's one in Cathedral Ward, but there are more later too. 3. Ritual materials are used for accessing the Chalice Dungeons. These are dungeons are slightly story related, but not key to the main game. They set up some of the backstory for Bloodborne. They become progressively more difficult, with the Defiled Story Chalice being one of the hardest of them all. I'd recommend playing through them, but DON'T feel obligated to do so. It has diminishing returns loot wise and is only good if you want story and a challenge. 4. I wanted you to know about an interesting enemy in the game. One of the birds in Charnel Lane up and to he left after the elevator shortcut is neutral. Go near them and draw away/kill the hostile ones. Enjoy birb friend. Finally, I wanted to give a strong ROCK AND STONE to a fellow dwarf! 13:50 I've only recently found you channel and I can't wait to see more! Take care and may the good blood guide your way.
In Bloodborne, most bosses are actually easier solo. The allies you can summon aren’t normally good enough to compensate for how much extra health and damage the boss gains. Chalice bosses will 2-shot your ally, for example, and then you’re left alone against this buffed boss by yourself.
A couple of things to help out: Easiest blood vial farming spot is Yharnam where you start the game. Clear the whole area up to where you fought Father Gascoigne and you'll get a decent amount. Go through a few times and you'll have a good little stock. Saw weapons deal serrated damage which is more effective against beast enemies, which is more or less anything that looks like an animal. Lastly I recommend using your one handed weapon more so you can use your gun to stagger enemies more, and getting into the habit of getting off viscerals is the best thing you can do in BB. Also the old hunter bone is a useable item that basically gives you Bloodhound's step from Eden Ring. Actual S tier item. I've been loving the series! Keep it up ❤
Big backseat advise down there Tonitrus is pretty good against "slug" enemies also known as kin. It will come in handy in the later parts of the game, when they show up. Although Tonitrus is primarly a Strenghth /Arcane damage weapon whith strenght being a favorable stat. When you slot in blood gems your weapon scaling becomes much better. Blood gems are primary source of good damage. If you'll have any trouble, good tactic is just to get better gems in game or dungeons. If you plan to build yor character for strenght go for it. It will be a goid tool later Also you really want to have atleast 40 Vitality by level 70-80. Enemies will shred your health later on, so I'd recomend.
Gasgoine went crazy because of the blood and the guy you killed with Eileen is named Henryk. He was Gasgoine’s hunting partner that went crazy when you killed his partner. Edit- the nun you sent to the church, you should probably kill unless you want a harder time getting all the umbilical cords
youre actually really well leveled for the place of the game youre in right now lol. although, the next boss is a lot tougher than the witches of hemwick, but still a really fun fight! can't wait to watch you beat them :D
Bloodborne was my first Souls game, I had read up on the lore of Souls games for so many years, only ever hesitating to purchase and play due to the difficulty, but when I found out my dad had a physical copy I picked it up and fell in love. You always remember your first Souls game, and oh boy, did Bloodborne leave one hell of an impression, I even still catch myself trying to parry enemies from a distance with a shield due to the Bloodborne parry gun mechanic. I could not recommend this game any less, it is both endlessly fun, incredibly interesting lorewise, and also one of, if not the very best eldritch horror game out there.
Your heart was in the right place when you were mashing buttons to get free of the grab attack, you have to Mash L1 and R1 to break free earlier and avoid some damage / not get knocked down. This is also true for the other Souls games in case you decide to go that route later!
When you get to the forbidden woods hug the left side and when you get to the corner of the map youll find a secret cave follow that path to the end and youll find the cainhurst summons. To use the cainhurst summons youll have to go to the obelisk in the witchs woods you were just at. The obelisk is the giant pillar by the two hooded axe enemies you fought. then youll get a cutscene that takes you to cainhurst. Hope this helps. Also make sure to visit upper cathedral ward one of the creepiest areas in the game.
Hey mate. Been watching all your recent souls like content sekiro etc and been loving it. You inspired me to play bloodborne and make a similar video series. Thanks for the content :)
Tip: The "Temporary Transform boost" rune actually is about Beasthood. If you use a Beast pellet, you gain more dmg to consecutive hits, but it decreases your defense the same way. If you're interested, i advise you to spend your insights (your little "eyes") to make it build up more quickly
Elden Ring was my first Soulsborne game ever and it recently became my very first ever 100% completed game and I started playing Bloodborne for the first time a couple days ago and I found your first vid on this and was intrigued by the title and thumbnail and I gotta say I'm glad I found you. It's pretty fun playing through sections and then watching you play through them. Great work man. Thank you for your content. I hope to start Sekiro when I'm finished with Bloodborne because the combat looks super fun but I'm scared it's gonna be hair-pullingly hard and I'm down for a challenge, like I'm loving how much harder Bloodborne is compared to Elden Ring but I fear Sekiro is in a whole nother league lol
If you wondering why you sometime get one hit the game has a kinda crítical hit system where if you or enemies are hit at certain moments during a attack or dodge you take more damage.
Since I recently finished bloodborne myself theres something you might miss if you dont look it up, scratch that you will absolutely miss it if you dont know how to get to this area. There's a secret place in this game which you can only go to from where you just left off, but you do need to go to the next area after this which is the forbidden woods which i know you will next video so please do look up how to get to Cainhurst castle when you do get to forbidden woods as its a pretty cool place and is optional so missable. You can get the cainhurst summons in forbidden woods and then later come back here where you opened up a gate and near the big ol fellas with axes you killed theres a pillar, when you stand near it a cutscene wil loccur and take you to cainhurst castle, enjoy and I cant wait for more of your videos!
I found your channel with this series and im surprise that you dont have more subscribers. Keep it up and hope you blowup. Now to binge your backlog of videos.
In case you haven't already, try shooting the dogs. Also, if you have any madman's knowledge, I'd suggest using them to reach 40 insight. Other than that, great vid as always.
10:14 this works on most enemies in the game (a lot of bosses as well), also you can more easily stagger bosses by focusing one part of the body like the left leg or something like that, its an early version of the posture system that followed the logic of just busting their kneecap in two to cause a visceral rather then causing them to lose "posture" or whatever
im just gonna give all of the tips i know that could be helpful. if its your first time playing its better to put more levels into health, putting levels into skill boosts your visral attacks, Lugwig's holy blade is a very good weapon but its always up to you on what you like, armor doesn't impact gameplay that much so if you like an outfit you dont have to worry about its stats, fire does more damage to beasts and blot does more damage to kin so in the later half its good to have some bolt paper. and i think thats about all i know. keep up the amazing work spicy!
Tonitrus is not only an interesting weapon, it is indeed good. You will have fun using it alongside Ludwig's Holy Blade, I used Tonitrus as one of my 2 weapons in my second playthrough of Bloodborne.
im glad i found your channel! you make me bust out laughing when something sneaks up on you! i actually went back and played the game again on my ps5 because of you trying this for the 1st time. ah.. good times. you should play demon souls remake on the ps5 next! awesome game as well!!!
I'd say Tonitrus is good if you wanna use bolt but don't wanna use all your bolt paper at once. It's especially good against "Kin" (the little snake looking simple next to the beast on you weapons) since it uses continual lightning. Like how fire is effective against beasts, lightning is good against Kin (the more Cthulhu or alien looking creatures rather than beast looking).
Bloodborne is a souls game my dude demon souls, dark souls 1 - 3, Bloodborne and elden ring are all souls game sekiro technically is.... btw i highly recommend leveling up *skill, strength and health* cuz they're the most important of all the stats (endurance is optional) skill+strength = more damage (arcane and bloodtinge aren't as important as the others)
Really enjoying your play through so far and really want to see you take on later bosses. If you need more blood veils you can farm them from the central yharnam lamp rather than buying them. The best way to save veils is to attack the enemy after being hit, for a short time you can recover health you lost.
19:39. That glitch happens ALL THE TIME with those slendermen. I’ve done a ton of early/mid game farming in Hemwick and those things get glitched into the wall, at least 30-40% of the time lol
I love tonitrus, it can pump out some serious damage really quickly. Obviously you need the right kind of build for it. It can go three ways, pure strenght. Pure arcane, or hybrid strenght arcane. I've always taken it for pure arcane builds myself, carried me through my first playthrough. Neat thing about it, for some reason gems that increase blunt damage also increases its bolt damage.
Good vid man one tip I would suggest is to drop regen gem and just go with damage. I did notice you looted a few from some enemies you killed. As you progress you’ll get better ones making fights easier. And the Tonitrus is not bad but because it has low durability requires repair more often. But at least you won’t have to purchase bolt paper if you use it😊
Yayyy you found the Abandoned Old Workshop! Hahaha, loooove the outfit by the way. Fashionborne! And this is so crazy, I'm currently rewatching one of my favorite RUclipsrs play Super Mario Galaxy. I was watching an episode RIGHT before this, so I recognized that Honey Hive Galaxy music immediately, lol. The girl you sent to Oedon Chapel, you can actually obtain a second location you can send people to. Go back to where your character woke up in the beginning of the game and you'll find out there. Not sure if I mentioned this before or if you noticed, but large bosses like Darkbeast Paarl, Cleric Beast, Vicar Amelia, etc, all have a limb-break mechanic. Going after their legs and arms is a nice way to stagger them so once you break a limb, move on to the next limb. The Tonitrus - It's a cool weapon, but it takes a bit of work to make it a good weapon. Definitely use whatever you want though, all the weapons are cool! A charged R2 from behind works on pretty much every enemy for a back visceral (except really big enemies). They help A LOT. Bloodshot Eyeball - Have you tried the chalice dungeons yet? They're the only thing in the game that doesn't scale with NG+ difficulty. They have a set difficulty where the early ones are easiest and the later ones get harder. They have the best gems you can find, some higher level runes, exclusive enemies and bosses, and other forms of weapons. If you plan on getting platinum, they're required. I have never seen someone hit an enemy SO HARD they ascended to another floor, that was awesome. Haha. There were only two Witches. The first one gets resurrected by her sister after a while. Beast Rune - It gives you a longer meter for using beast blood pellets and, the even better perk, it reduces fall damageeee! I think the one you have reduces fall damage by 20%. Loving this so far, can't wait for the next one!
I'm really enjoying your playthrough so far, hope u keep having fun with the game:) Oh & here are a few small tips that'll make ur run a bit easier, nothing major tho: 1- there's an item in the shop named small lantern or sth like that, buy it if u can, it attaches to ur belt & lights up the dark rooms a bit, really handy cause unlike the torch it doesn't use ur hand 2- u can parry with any gun if u time it right before the enemy attacks, it's not sth exclusive to shotguns, but I'd recommend using a normal gun cause it has a longer range than a shotgun 3- u can do a visceral atk on most of enemies by doing a heavy charged atk to their backs 4- pay attention to the environment, it changes as u gain more insight (some mechanics change too) Oh & lastly, do pay attention to the soundtrack, honestly this game has 1 of the best soundtracks in any fromsoft games. Anyways that's all for now Ig, have fun:)
Dude i love to watch your playtrough, it is really fun. Here some Tips! I hope that helps. Insight influence an effect called "Frenzy" if you have low insight, Frenzy build up slow. If you have high, build up fast as fk boy. Temporarly transformation it's conected to Beasthood. Beasthood is an stat that glow up your damage, but make you defense go down. As more Beasthood you stack with the pellets, more damage you do. Also, the more insight you get, more decreased become beasthood. Tonitrus (And all Eletric weapons, or weapons that you use boltpaper) are great for "Kin" enemies. Like "Rom", "Amygdala", "Mergo", "One Reborn", "Celestials", "Ebrietas", "Living Failures" (DLC Boss), "Kos" (DLC Boss) and the Final boss of the true ending. After you enter in "Forbiden Woods" explore looking to your left, until you find a place with flowers, procced in that way until arrive in some dogs, close to the dogs have an cave that can lead you to a shortcut from the initial area of the game, and you can explora to go inside the "Iosefka Clinic" explore to the right, and you find an Alien (I call them in that way) and an Invite to Cainhurst.(Optional Area) And after get the invite, go to the pilar where have the two fat guys, close to the Witches area. Close to the dogs, that are close to the cave, have an house, interact with an NPC and he will give you an item to go to another Optional Area. After get the item, go the other way of the cathedral (the way you don't use to get to the Witches area) and enter in a empty place, get close to the door and some friendly monster will get you to the area. Also, if you have the DLC, after kill Amelia (Cathedral Boss) you can get an item in hunter dreams that can make you go to the DLC, and you have to go to District of Yharnam (Safe house of the NPCs) and do the same you did to go to the "Nightmare Frontier" you go there, getting abductet from the enemie close to the set that have an hat. Dextry influence your visceral atacks. Arcane Influence items damage. You get some material to go to chalices, chalices are acessible in hunter dream, in some of the thombstones. Are optional areas that you can grind. The max cap of any status, is level 50. So, don't waste echos in status that are alredy in 50. I hope these tips help you someway, sorry for any gramatichal mistake, english it's not my main language, so i'm not confident that it's everything understandable.
@@ThePoshboy1 I don't see the point of saving them for that long. The first couple are so easy and you get better bloodgems than most of the main game almost immediately.
@@ThePoshboy1 I don't think it breaks the balance of the game at all. I think everyone's view of how much damage you're supposed to be doing is skewed because most people don't realize the chalices are even a thing on their first playthrough.
@@ThePoshboy1 the game is already difficult as is, a fire gem stone won’t activate easy mode. If you can get them in the first chalice dungeons then because it is encouraged by the devs.
A fun and reliable way to deal with dogs is using your firearm against them, always knocks them down. Also Tonitrus is pretty good but requires points in Arcane stats to make its Shock dmg go up.
I was playing through Sekiro just as you were finishing your playthrough and watching along each time I progressed far enough to and then we beat Isshin around the same time. I just beat Bloodborne and all the dlc today :) I wasn’t completely in love with it, but I’m happy to see you’re enjoying it. It’s nice to be on the other side and get to watch your playthrough without feeling like I’m behind 😂 Also, if you’ll allow me to share some of my experience…there’s a particular enemy in an area called Upper Cathedral Ward that made that area hell for me. So…enjoy. :)
Paleblood IS the "good blood" to Yharnham society because it perfected human physiology and cured disease; but it's also the reason why this is all happening
You can get the best blood gems via chalice rituals (the other altars in the hunters dream). You can find the gems by looking up their chalice dungeon codes online and exploring it. You can try and complete the other NPC's questlines which have the most interesting weapons imo.
You're doin' great! Tonitrus is an exceptional weapon with it's infinite lightning buff. The first time I ever played through the game in 2015 Tonitrus carried me through several boss fights. That being said, you can get the same effectiveness for some of the upcoming bosses by just using bolt paper - so it really depends on if you want to put resources into another weapon. Also, as some others have mentioned, summoning can be great for splitting aggro, but it does give them 50% extra hp per cooperator you have. If you ever do another playthrough, give blood tinge a try - your viscerals will hit like a freight train loaded with TNT.
Dude, you’re doing great!! Ludwig’s blade is enough. Don’t do Tonitrus, there are tons of weapons more fun and strong than that one. I usually sell it and get more echoes. And also give a try with pistols, those are easier to time viscerals more than a rifle. Side note: there is a fountain where you can spend your insight for other goodies too, it’s in the hunters dream and just a heads up, the more insight, the stronger the enemies. Little lore, that’s how Gascoigne was going mad. “He knew too much” This series is making me want to play again and start running thru it like a mad hunter. Remember “Yes to the PaleBlood” and “A Hunter must Hunt” - Eileen the Crow.
so many play throughs people dont use the jump attack. Forward + R2 and you will cover gound and attack. it also stuns shielded enemies. Good to see you enjoying it.
Thanks for the video, something that is a carry over from dark souls is that you take extra damage if you get hit while rolling - (this means aoe attacks from Paarl can cause extra damage if not properly timed), that being said it is very rare in bloodborne that you'll get hit while rolling so keep doing that. I'd probably suggest you stick with Ludwig's holy blade since it is arguably the best weapon for mid to late game bosses but play the game however you want - just keep in mind that you have limited upgrade materials.
The Tonitrus is really effective against "Kin" enemies (especially when in it's charged lightning form). These are easily identifiable as anything generally goopy, slimy, and alien looking or just not beastlike or human.
Bloodborne was my first Souls game ever, I bought it back in 2015 when it first came out and I’ve been in love with it ever since, it’s definitely my favourite Souls game😌
The Tonitrus is a really solid weapon that I really enjoy using. Also the slot to the right of your equiped weapon is a slot for a secondary weapon. The one next to your gun is for a secondary gun.
you gotta play more aggressive bro. use the regain mechanic instead of running away it's killing me you could be gaining a ton of health back for free when you see that orange health. also try staying locked on and dodging forward diagonally when an enemy attacks, you'll be in a better position to punish. rolling away is a bad strategy most the time in Bloodborne this game isn't DS3/ER. glad to see you're having a great time I can tell you this game is a treasure.
Since the game won’t tell you this explicitly, Paleblood is the name of a … thing you’ll encounter at the very end, provided you’ve consumed enough of umbilical chords. And he’s got something to do with that strange moon…
Hey, brother, so idk if you've been using or are aware of the Rally system in the game. So right after you take damage, a chunk of your health turns orange, then starts depleting. That orange health is actually completely recoverable, and if you start attacking while it's orange, you can regain it! It's HUGE for survivability. Also, I've done a run completely with the Tonitrus before. It hits like a Mack truck against... well, an enemy type that is abundant in the second half of the game. No spoilers. It's a great weapon in general, BUT, when you attack while it's in its transformed (sparky) state, its durability depletes pretty quick. You can find yourself with the weapon at risk of breaking if you use the transformed attacks too much on a longer run.
If your ever low on blood vials or bullets, the Forbidden Woods enemies constantly drop them. Plus the echoes you get for a full run before the boss door can net you up to 100k echoes with the right runes equipped.
on one hand I don’t want to spoil this but on the other hand I don't want you to get blindsided by this, the church lady will murder Arianna (the lady in the red dress) if you're not careful. They can both give you their blood as a healing item but if you take Arianna's blood 3 times (I think) then the church lady will get jealous and murder Arianna
If you want to find the rest of the umbilical cords (there's 3 more you can find. Don't question it), here's a quick rundown: 1: you get one after killing a later required boss right before the final boss. 2 (Missable): Kill Iosefka after... It gets very scary and red 3 (Missable): Complete Arianna's questline after killing the required boss that's before the boss mentioned in 1. You'll know because they'll be very annoying to fight. And chase. (After killing the boss, go to the Oedon Chapel lamp and head back to Gascoigne's boss room. You'll find her along the way. You'll know what to do.)
Bloodborne has this feature where if you get hit during a dodge, you take more damage. Might explain why Paarl one shot you with that charge up attack.
Ahhh my second favorite game of all time a masterpiece. Uses lore and setting of hp Lovecraft who i loved growing up. Fear the old blood fellow hunter. I highly recommend u get into the lore and read whatever you can especially in this game

"Is the Paleblood the new blood, or the old blood? Is it the good blood, or the bad blood?"
You are, hilariously, asking the right questions.
No one commented after a YEAR?!
So there is a fun secret to Bloodborne enemy spawns, certain enemies don't spawn unless you have a minimum amount of insight. You can really make the game much easier at lower insight and be happily oblivious to the terrors that lurk behind the real world. Note: this only works for the earlier parts of the night.

Since you asked: The Tonitrus is in fact rather useful especially against enemies which in a lack of a better word look like/are alien. It's transformed version deals electrical damage against which these enemies are weak against. Of course, bolt paper does the same thing but from a cost perspective it is better to have a decent levelled Tonitrus at hand as a back up plan if you're facing these enemies and your normal strategy doesn't help.

There is a better word, kin
@@Yousifzzz I'm afraid "that look like kin" isn't a terrible helpful description unless you already know what kin are.
I wanted to give some combat and general advice that I feel is good for enjoying the game.
Combat:
1. Shoot the dogs with your gun. Even the weakest gun will stun any of the dogs with one shot, making them easier to deal with.
2. People have mentioned this but it does merit mentioning again because it's one of the biggest part of Bloodborne's combat and what sets it apart from other Souls games. When you get hit and part of your health bar turns orange, hitting the enemy will heal part of the orange back into permanent health. This is called "Rally" and there are some weapons, bloodgems, and runes that assist this system of combat.
3. Bosses in this game kind fall into 2 categories: human like and non-human like. Bigger, non-human like bosses typically have a "Limb" system where you can break limbs to stun/stagger them for viscerals and do more damage to the broken limbs. Human like bosses typically can be parried with shots in order to use visceral attacks on them.
General:
1. When looking at items, you can press the Square button to "display" the item. This brings up a larger image of the item with some lore or other text for it. This can be done for EVERY item in the game. I highly recommend doing this as it can tell you lore for Yharnam, give you an idea of what an item does, or helps you figure out hints about how items/weapons can be used or where to go. There have been a few items that you've already used that have significant story information that I feel you may have missed, but they can always be looked up later online.
2. Some elevators can be jumped off of to access secret with goodies or access to shortcuts/new areas. Make sure you pay attention for ledges to jump onto whenever you come to any elevator. There's one in Cathedral Ward, but there are more later too.
3. Ritual materials are used for accessing the Chalice Dungeons. These are dungeons are slightly story related, but not key to the main game. They set up some of the backstory for Bloodborne. They become progressively more difficult, with the Defiled Story Chalice being one of the hardest of them all. I'd recommend playing through them, but DON'T feel obligated to do so. It has diminishing returns loot wise and is only good if you want story and a challenge.
4. I wanted you to know about an interesting enemy in the game. One of the birds in Charnel Lane up and to he left after the elevator shortcut is neutral. Go near them and draw away/kill the hostile ones. Enjoy birb friend.
Finally, I wanted to give a strong ROCK AND STONE to a fellow dwarf! 13:50
I've only recently found you channel and I can't wait to see more! Take care and may the good blood guide your way.
I genuinely can’t get enough of your videos spicy, you’re just on a very chilled wave length and it’s pleasant as hell. Cheers for doing the business
"It's always this-and-that with the mallet, I tell you what!"
I need this on a kitchen apron or something. Pure facts!
hey dude love the series but i think you should know that summoning a helper make the boss harder, it gets more health and deal more damage
Slander and blasphemy avert thine ears my liege!
Aka more fun!
Ye but it’s a good trade off as the ai pulls aggro so u can deal damage more easily
In Bloodborne, most bosses are actually easier solo. The allies you can summon aren’t normally good enough to compensate for how much extra health and damage the boss gains.
Chalice bosses will 2-shot your ally, for example, and then you’re left alone against this buffed boss by yourself.
@@AARon11414yeah, i never use summons in bloodborne, they just make it extra hard
A couple of things to help out:
Easiest blood vial farming spot is Yharnam where you start the game. Clear the whole area up to where you fought Father Gascoigne and you'll get a decent amount. Go through a few times and you'll have a good little stock.
Saw weapons deal serrated damage which is more effective against beast enemies, which is more or less anything that looks like an animal.
Lastly I recommend using your one handed weapon more so you can use your gun to stagger enemies more, and getting into the habit of getting off viscerals is the best thing you can do in BB.
Also the old hunter bone is a useable item that basically gives you Bloodhound's step from Eden Ring. Actual S tier item.
I've been loving the series! Keep it up ❤
Big backseat advise down there
Tonitrus is pretty good against "slug" enemies also known as kin. It will come in handy in the later parts of the game, when they show up.
Although Tonitrus is primarly a Strenghth /Arcane damage weapon whith strenght being a favorable stat. When you slot in blood gems your weapon scaling becomes much better.
Blood gems are primary source of good damage. If you'll have any trouble, good tactic is just to get better gems in game or dungeons.
If you plan to build yor character for strenght go for it. It will be a goid tool later
Also you really want to have atleast 40 Vitality by level 70-80. Enemies will shred your health later on, so I'd recomend.
Gasgoine went crazy because of the blood and the guy you killed with Eileen is named Henryk. He was Gasgoine’s hunting partner that went crazy when you killed his partner. Edit- the nun you sent to the church, you should probably kill unless you want a harder time getting all the umbilical cords
It's fine there are 4 in the game
youre actually really well leveled for the place of the game youre in right now lol. although, the next boss is a lot tougher than the witches of hemwick, but still a really fun fight! can't wait to watch you beat them :D
Bloodborne was my first Souls game, I had read up on the lore of Souls games for so many years, only ever hesitating to purchase and play due to the difficulty, but when I found out my dad had a physical copy I picked it up and fell in love. You always remember your first Souls game, and oh boy, did Bloodborne leave one hell of an impression, I even still catch myself trying to parry enemies from a distance with a shield due to the Bloodborne parry gun mechanic.
I could not recommend this game any less, it is both endlessly fun, incredibly interesting lorewise, and also one of, if not the very best eldritch horror game out there.
Never miss a video man! Think you’re one of my favorite content creators! Keep ‘em coming.
Your heart was in the right place when you were mashing buttons to get free of the grab attack, you have to Mash L1 and R1 to break free earlier and avoid some damage / not get knocked down. This is also true for the other Souls games in case you decide to go that route later!
Not all grabs are mashable though, but it does not hurt to try.
When you get to the forbidden woods hug the left side and when you get to the corner of the map youll find a secret cave follow that path to the end and youll find the cainhurst summons. To use the cainhurst summons youll have to go to the obelisk in the witchs woods you were just at. The obelisk is the giant pillar by the two hooded axe enemies you fought. then youll get a cutscene that takes you to cainhurst. Hope this helps. Also make sure to visit upper cathedral ward one of the creepiest areas in the game.
awesome im glad you know it cause its such a cool area i hope he explores it
Or maybe he can discover it himself 😱 just maybe
@@mgms2000 yeah but idk if he'd be able to find it as easily without reading about it or if he even knows about it otherwise
@@mizuragi5412 literally me and every1 I watched discovered it alone , backseat gaming is the most annoying thing ever
@@mgms2000 I agree
Hey mate. Been watching all your recent souls like content sekiro etc and been loving it. You inspired me to play bloodborne and make a similar video series. Thanks for the content :)
Tip: The "Temporary Transform boost" rune actually is about Beasthood. If you use a Beast pellet, you gain more dmg to consecutive hits, but it decreases your defense the same way. If you're interested, i advise you to spend your insights (your little "eyes") to make it build up more quickly
Elden Ring was my first Soulsborne game ever and it recently became my very first ever 100% completed game and I started playing Bloodborne for the first time a couple days ago and I found your first vid on this and was intrigued by the title and thumbnail and I gotta say I'm glad I found you. It's pretty fun playing through sections and then watching you play through them. Great work man. Thank you for your content. I hope to start Sekiro when I'm finished with Bloodborne because the combat looks super fun but I'm scared it's gonna be hair-pullingly hard and I'm down for a challenge, like I'm loving how much harder Bloodborne is compared to Elden Ring but I fear Sekiro is in a whole nother league lol
I beat Bloodborne back in the day and I find Elden Ring way harder. I actually quit Elden Ring and never completed it.
I just broke my arm and this gave me some well needed entertainment, nice video!
The more Insight he gets the more worried I get. The H o r r o r s are coming soon.
If you wondering why you sometime get one hit the game has a kinda crítical hit system where if you or enemies are hit at certain moments during a attack or dodge you take more damage.
Noted
It's instability damage. If you (or opponent) get hit while in attack animation or dodge, there is a bonus % damage (DS1 it was +40%).
Since I recently finished bloodborne myself theres something you might miss if you dont look it up, scratch that you will absolutely miss it if you dont know how to get to this area.
There's a secret place in this game which you can only go to from where you just left off, but you do need to go to the next area after this which is the forbidden woods which i know you will next video so please do look up how to get to Cainhurst castle when you do get to forbidden woods as its a pretty cool place and is optional so missable. You can get the cainhurst summons in forbidden woods and then later come back here where you opened up a gate and near the big ol fellas with axes you killed theres a pillar, when you stand near it a cutscene wil loccur and take you to cainhurst castle, enjoy and I cant wait for more of your videos!
I found your channel with this series and im surprise that you dont have more subscribers. Keep it up and hope you blowup. Now to binge your backlog of videos.
In case you haven't already, try shooting the dogs.
Also, if you have any madman's knowledge, I'd suggest using them to reach 40 insight.
Other than that, great vid as always.
Tonitrus is a personal fav of mine, its fragile but its nice to have a bolt weapon without having to get bolt paper
Spicy brought a gun to an NRA meeting expecting not to get peppered 16:16
10:14 this works on most enemies in the game (a lot of bosses as well), also you can more easily stagger bosses by focusing one part of the body like the left leg or something like that, its an early version of the posture system that followed the logic of just busting their kneecap in two to cause a visceral rather then causing them to lose "posture" or whatever
im just gonna give all of the tips i know that could be helpful. if its your first time playing its better to put more levels into health, putting levels into skill boosts your visral attacks, Lugwig's holy blade is a very good weapon but its always up to you on what you like, armor doesn't impact gameplay that much so if you like an outfit you dont have to worry about its stats, fire does more damage to beasts and blot does more damage to kin so in the later half its good to have some bolt paper. and i think thats about all i know. keep up the amazing work spicy!
Yeeeeeee Bloodborne. I legit checked to see if you dropped a new video this morning, so I am very pleased to see it rn 😄
Love the editing bro
1:40 "I'm a f***ing pretty princess!"
i cant believe he went into the witches fight with 38 insight lmao, that increases the boss's difficulty
Wait fr? Every boss gets harder with more insight?
Tonitrus is not only an interesting weapon, it is indeed good. You will have fun using it alongside Ludwig's Holy Blade, I used Tonitrus as one of my 2 weapons in my second playthrough of Bloodborne.
Love where he stated the video (later into the game after the tutorial stuff) so professional
im glad i found your channel! you make me bust out laughing when something sneaks up on you! i actually went back and played the game again on my ps5 because of you trying this for the 1st time. ah.. good times. you should play demon souls remake on the ps5 next! awesome game as well!!!
I'd say Tonitrus is good if you wanna use bolt but don't wanna use all your bolt paper at once. It's especially good against "Kin" (the little snake looking simple next to the beast on you weapons) since it uses continual lightning. Like how fire is effective against beasts, lightning is good against Kin (the more Cthulhu or alien looking creatures rather than beast looking).
16:33 the song is called Aurarian Dance by Nujabes from the soundtrack of Samurai Champloo
1:24 his excitement when he found the Doll Clothes😂😂
I know I know, "Bloodborne's not a souls game" it works better for the title 😅
it is a souls game
put more points into hp my dude
Bloodborne is a souls game my dude
demon souls, dark souls 1 - 3, Bloodborne and elden ring are all souls game
sekiro technically is....
btw i highly recommend leveling up *skill, strength and health*
cuz they're the most important of all the stats
(endurance is optional)
skill+strength = more damage
(arcane and bloodtinge aren't as important as the others)
A common shorthand is “Soulsborne” when including bloodborne in the lineup
Seems souls-like enough to me idk 🤷
its so nice and chill to watch you play games, especially if its my favorite like Bloodborne!! Thank you for the videos
Really enjoying your play through so far and really want to see you take on later bosses. If you need more blood veils you can farm them from the central yharnam lamp rather than buying them. The best way to save veils is to attack the enemy after being hit, for a short time you can recover health you lost.
19:39. That glitch happens ALL THE TIME with those slendermen. I’ve done a ton of early/mid game farming in Hemwick and those things get glitched into the wall, at least 30-40% of the time lol
I love tonitrus, it can pump out some serious damage really quickly. Obviously you need the right kind of build for it. It can go three ways, pure strenght. Pure arcane, or hybrid strenght arcane. I've always taken it for pure arcane builds myself, carried me through my first playthrough. Neat thing about it, for some reason gems that increase blunt damage also increases its bolt damage.
Good vid man one tip I would suggest is to drop regen gem and just go with damage. I did notice you looted a few from some enemies you killed. As you progress you’ll get better ones making fights easier. And the Tonitrus is not bad but because it has low durability requires repair more often. But at least you won’t have to purchase bolt paper if you use it😊
the deep rock galactic bit got me hype lol
Loved when the Final Fantasy music kicked in 😂 great vid 👍
Which OST was that?
Yayyy you found the Abandoned Old Workshop! Hahaha, loooove the outfit by the way. Fashionborne! And this is so crazy, I'm currently rewatching one of my favorite RUclipsrs play Super Mario Galaxy. I was watching an episode RIGHT before this, so I recognized that Honey Hive Galaxy music immediately, lol.
The girl you sent to Oedon Chapel, you can actually obtain a second location you can send people to. Go back to where your character woke up in the beginning of the game and you'll find out there.
Not sure if I mentioned this before or if you noticed, but large bosses like Darkbeast Paarl, Cleric Beast, Vicar Amelia, etc, all have a limb-break mechanic. Going after their legs and arms is a nice way to stagger them so once you break a limb, move on to the next limb.
The Tonitrus - It's a cool weapon, but it takes a bit of work to make it a good weapon. Definitely use whatever you want though, all the weapons are cool!
A charged R2 from behind works on pretty much every enemy for a back visceral (except really big enemies). They help A LOT.
Bloodshot Eyeball - Have you tried the chalice dungeons yet? They're the only thing in the game that doesn't scale with NG+ difficulty. They have a set difficulty where the early ones are easiest and the later ones get harder. They have the best gems you can find, some higher level runes, exclusive enemies and bosses, and other forms of weapons. If you plan on getting platinum, they're required.
I have never seen someone hit an enemy SO HARD they ascended to another floor, that was awesome. Haha.
There were only two Witches. The first one gets resurrected by her sister after a while.
Beast Rune - It gives you a longer meter for using beast blood pellets and, the even better perk, it reduces fall damageeee! I think the one you have reduces fall damage by 20%.
Loving this so far, can't wait for the next one!
keep playing !!! love this series. Bloodbourne is the first souls game ive ever played its got a special place in my heart.
You mispelled it btw, its Bloodborne 😅, no "u"
Great Vibe
Ludwig’s OP Set
Goodwork
As an Elden Ring fan boy also not having played any other fromsoftware games, I’m loving these videos 🥳
I'm really enjoying your playthrough so far, hope u keep having fun with the game:)
Oh & here are a few small tips that'll make ur run a bit easier, nothing major tho:
1- there's an item in the shop named small lantern or sth like that, buy it if u can, it attaches to ur belt & lights up the dark rooms a bit, really handy cause unlike the torch it doesn't use ur hand
2- u can parry with any gun if u time it right before the enemy attacks, it's not sth exclusive to shotguns, but I'd recommend using a normal gun cause it has a longer range than a shotgun
3- u can do a visceral atk on most of enemies by doing a heavy charged atk to their backs
4- pay attention to the environment, it changes as u gain more insight (some mechanics change too)
Oh & lastly, do pay attention to the soundtrack, honestly this game has 1 of the best soundtracks in any fromsoft games.
Anyways that's all for now Ig, have fun:)
Dude i love to watch your playtrough, it is really fun.
Here some Tips! I hope that helps.
Insight influence an effect called "Frenzy" if you have low insight, Frenzy build up slow. If you have high, build up fast as fk boy.
Temporarly transformation it's conected to Beasthood. Beasthood is an stat that glow up your damage, but make you defense go down. As more Beasthood you stack with the pellets, more damage you do. Also, the more insight you get, more decreased become beasthood.
Tonitrus (And all Eletric weapons, or weapons that you use boltpaper) are great for "Kin" enemies. Like "Rom", "Amygdala", "Mergo", "One Reborn", "Celestials", "Ebrietas", "Living Failures" (DLC Boss), "Kos" (DLC Boss) and the Final boss of the true ending.
After you enter in "Forbiden Woods" explore looking to your left, until you find a place with flowers, procced in that way until arrive in some dogs, close to the dogs have an cave that can lead you to a shortcut from the initial area of the game, and you can explora to go inside the "Iosefka Clinic" explore to the right, and you find an Alien (I call them in that way) and an Invite to Cainhurst.(Optional Area) And after get the invite, go to the pilar where have the two fat guys, close to the Witches area.
Close to the dogs, that are close to the cave, have an house, interact with an NPC and he will give you an item to go to another Optional Area. After get the item, go the other way of the cathedral (the way you don't use to get to the Witches area) and enter in a empty place, get close to the door and some friendly monster will get you to the area.
Also, if you have the DLC, after kill Amelia (Cathedral Boss) you can get an item in hunter dreams that can make you go to the DLC, and you have to go to District of Yharnam (Safe house of the NPCs) and do the same you did to go to the "Nightmare Frontier" you go there, getting abductet from the enemie close to the set that have an hat.
Dextry influence your visceral atacks.
Arcane Influence items damage.
You get some material to go to chalices, chalices are acessible in hunter dream, in some of the thombstones. Are optional areas that you can grind.
The max cap of any status, is level 50. So, don't waste echos in status that are alredy in 50.
I hope these tips help you someway, sorry for any gramatichal mistake, english it's not my main language, so i'm not confident that it's everything understandable.
Another great episode.
Reminder that you can interact with certain graves in the Hunter's Dream to use the Chalice you got earlier.
I'd advice against using the chalice dungeons on the first playthrough, probably save that for later.
@@ThePoshboy1 I don't see the point of saving them for that long. The first couple are so easy and you get better bloodgems than most of the main game almost immediately.
@@_2fcd_978 That's exactly why you shouldn't be using them, the bloodgems you get break the balance of the game.
@@ThePoshboy1 I don't think it breaks the balance of the game at all. I think everyone's view of how much damage you're supposed to be doing is skewed because most people don't realize the chalices are even a thing on their first playthrough.
@@ThePoshboy1 the game is already difficult as is, a fire gem stone won’t activate easy mode. If you can get them in the first chalice dungeons then because it is encouraged by the devs.
A fun and reliable way to deal with dogs is using your firearm against them, always knocks them down. Also Tonitrus is pretty good but requires points in Arcane stats to make its Shock dmg go up.
Dude, Bloodborne with the snow ost from Diamond/Pearl hits different
love the chill bill music in the beginning
I was playing through Sekiro just as you were finishing your playthrough and watching along each time I progressed far enough to and then we beat Isshin around the same time. I just beat Bloodborne and all the dlc today :) I wasn’t completely in love with it, but I’m happy to see you’re enjoying it. It’s nice to be on the other side and get to watch your playthrough without feeling like I’m behind 😂
Also, if you’ll allow me to share some of my experience…there’s a particular enemy in an area called Upper Cathedral Ward that made that area hell for me. So…enjoy. :)
Paleblood IS the "good blood" to Yharnham society because it perfected human physiology and cured disease; but it's also the reason why this is all happening
To me, Paarl is that boss where a summon actually makes the fight harder lmao cuz Antyl is so far, and Paarl just flops around 😫
You can get the best blood gems via chalice rituals (the other altars in the hunters dream). You can find the gems by looking up their chalice dungeon codes online and exploring it.
You can try and complete the other NPC's questlines which have the most interesting weapons imo.
I‘d suggest he just do the chalice dungeons while he is at it. They have the hardest and most fun bosses in my opinion.
You're doin' great! Tonitrus is an exceptional weapon with it's infinite lightning buff. The first time I ever played through the game in 2015 Tonitrus carried me through several boss fights. That being said, you can get the same effectiveness for some of the upcoming bosses by just using bolt paper - so it really depends on if you want to put resources into another weapon. Also, as some others have mentioned, summoning can be great for splitting aggro, but it does give them 50% extra hp per cooperator you have.
If you ever do another playthrough, give blood tinge a try - your viscerals will hit like a freight train loaded with TNT.
Bloodtinge is fun! But visverals scale on skill.
@@GP.B-F Oh shoot, huh. Well. Guess that make sense cause I level them equally for blood tinge builds XD
Great to know!
Whats the fastest way to get 10k blood echoes so i can open the cathedral ward gate? I got to 8.8k then died to fall damage
Keep it up man, loving the videos
Happy to hear it 🙌
Dude, you’re doing great!! Ludwig’s blade is enough. Don’t do Tonitrus, there are tons of weapons more fun and strong than that one. I usually sell it and get more echoes. And also give a try with pistols, those are easier to time viscerals more than a rifle. Side note: there is a fountain where you can spend your insight for other goodies too, it’s in the hunters dream and just a heads up, the more insight, the stronger the enemies. Little lore, that’s how Gascoigne was going mad. “He knew too much”
This series is making me want to play again and start running thru it like a mad hunter. Remember “Yes to the PaleBlood” and “A Hunter must Hunt” - Eileen the Crow.
so many play throughs people dont use the jump attack. Forward + R2 and you will cover gound and attack. it also stuns shielded enemies. Good to see you enjoying it.
I use it for everything 😂 it's satisfying
Thanks for the video, something that is a carry over from dark souls is that you take extra damage if you get hit while rolling - (this means aoe attacks from Paarl can cause extra damage if not properly timed), that being said it is very rare in bloodborne that you'll get hit while rolling so keep doing that.
I'd probably suggest you stick with Ludwig's holy blade since it is arguably the best weapon for mid to late game bosses but play the game however you want - just keep in mind that you have limited upgrade materials.
The Tonitrus is really effective against "Kin" enemies (especially when in it's charged lightning form). These are easily identifiable as anything generally goopy, slimy, and alien looking or just not beastlike or human.
Just found your channel dude you're incredibly entertaining keep killin it these videos are hilarious lol
Bloodborne was my first Souls game ever, I bought it back in 2015 when it first came out and I’ve been in love with it ever since, it’s definitely my favourite Souls game😌
I'm just following this series as it goes and I'm giddy thinking about him hitting 40 insight.
The Tonitrus is a really solid weapon that I really enjoy using. Also the slot to the right of your equiped weapon is a slot for a secondary weapon. The one next to your gun is for a secondary gun.
Make sure to get the summon to visit Cainhurst castle. Also make sure to get the key for the upper cathedral ward.
you gotta play more aggressive bro. use the regain mechanic instead of running away it's killing me you could be gaining a ton of health back for free when you see that orange health. also try staying locked on and dodging forward diagonally when an enemy attacks, you'll be in a better position to punish. rolling away is a bad strategy most the time in Bloodborne this game isn't DS3/ER. glad to see you're having a great time I can tell you this game is a treasure.
"I have no enemies"
Aye Tholfin. Aye.
Since the game won’t tell you this explicitly, Paleblood is the name of a … thing you’ll encounter at the very end, provided you’ve consumed enough of umbilical chords. And he’s got something to do with that strange moon…
Hey, brother, so idk if you've been using or are aware of the Rally system in the game. So right after you take damage, a chunk of your health turns orange, then starts depleting. That orange health is actually completely recoverable, and if you start attacking while it's orange, you can regain it! It's HUGE for survivability.
Also, I've done a run completely with the Tonitrus before. It hits like a Mack truck against... well, an enemy type that is abundant in the second half of the game. No spoilers. It's a great weapon in general, BUT, when you attack while it's in its transformed (sparky) state, its durability depletes pretty quick. You can find yourself with the weapon at risk of breaking if you use the transformed attacks too much on a longer run.
Chill bill theme detected. Good video
“Sneaky b-.. sneaky.. sneaky old lady”
Yo I just discovered your videos today I’m so glad that you’ve made updates🤣🤣🤣🤣
The doll outift drip with that face sent me
" I HATE long walks.....
Unless its on the beach of course. "
This is probably my favorite bloodborne play through
If your ever low on blood vials or bullets, the Forbidden Woods enemies constantly drop them. Plus the echoes you get for a full run before the boss door can net you up to 100k echoes with the right runes equipped.
Mannn bloodborne was my first souls game. And I’m grateful for it lol it helped a lot in the following and previous games
Someone teach this man to read the full item description
You've gotta get all 4 thirds of the umbilical cord and eat two more for the good ending.
Your voice is so soothing. Such a contrast to the insanity of bloodborne 😂
I’m not sure if you know but you can equip two different weapons and just switch between them without going into your inventory every time
17:40 relatable mood tbh
It’s actually refreshing to see someone not abusing chalice dungeons for gems
on one hand I don’t want to spoil this but on the other hand I don't want you to get blindsided by this, the church lady will murder Arianna (the lady in the red dress) if you're not careful. They can both give you their blood as a healing item but if you take Arianna's blood 3 times (I think) then the church lady will get jealous and murder Arianna
tonitris is good against the alien looking enemies you've seen and serrated weapons for the beasts. Or you could just use bolt paper instead.
I just love seeing Bloodborne get love
Im having so much fun with this series just like i did with the Sekiro series how he learns and we get to see the transfermation as he gits gud. Haha
If you want to find the rest of the umbilical cords (there's 3 more you can find. Don't question it), here's a quick rundown:
1: you get one after killing a later required boss right before the final boss.
2 (Missable): Kill Iosefka after... It gets very scary and red
3 (Missable): Complete Arianna's questline after killing the required boss that's before the boss mentioned in 1. You'll know because they'll be very annoying to fight. And chase. (After killing the boss, go to the Oedon Chapel lamp and head back to Gascoigne's boss room. You'll find her along the way. You'll know what to do.)
Bro, I had to watch a 15 sec ad just to watch your video. Ridiculous
Bloodborne has this feature where if you get hit during a dodge, you take more damage. Might explain why Paarl one shot you with that charge up attack.
awesome series!!!
Ahhh my second favorite game of all time a masterpiece. Uses lore and setting of hp Lovecraft who i loved growing up. Fear the old blood fellow hunter. I highly recommend u get into the lore and read whatever you can especially in this game
Tonitrus is legit the best weapon in the game. Tonitrus + Beast Blood Pellets = You become the boss now
