- Fresh from their victory against Gwyn Lord of Cinder in Lordran, Aoife and Johnny are setting off to Yharnam to try their hand at Bloodborne's nightmares. What starting weapon will they choose? Who will be the first to fall to gravity? How long will you be able to stomach their cockney accents? Oooh it's all very exciting.

Here he comes. Walking down the street.
Kicking all of the dicks on. Everyone he meets.
Hey-hey it's Dick Kickens! And people say he's kicking the dicks!
But he's too busy kicking. Check-out his Saw-cleaver it's siiiiick!
He's jus' tryin' to kick dicks man! He only wants to play Bloodborne!
'Cos he is Richard Kickens. Johnny & Aoife are just playin' along!
D0nATr0n I can’t tell, is that the monkees theme?
I have no idea what this song actually is, I just know it from the Friends episode where Ross sings it to his unborn son.
I was not expecting to see something relating to The Monkees in the comments of this video. Bravo!
D0nATr0n I’m familiar with their music, but we don’t get the show
This made me think of that kid's tv show, 'Arthur'.

I've followed for a long time and i have to say: Aoife's hair and Johnny's beard have never looked better.
Darling, there's suddenly something ever so menacing about the working class
Key Learnings from Dark Souls that have already made themselves known in Bloodborne:
1) Pure Imagination (you guys nailed it!) can be adapted to any situation
2) When in doubt, sing or put on a voice. Bards are critical for these adventures
3) Aoife’s powers rise exponentially with each swear
4) Hubris is the enemy
5) Cheese is absolutely delicious
Whoneedstosleep 6) Gravity is NOT your friend
It is the...fifth(?) time I am watching this Let's play and I still giggle about the Jokes they are making as if I watching this for the first time. Thank you for this really funny episode :D
Same
Ditto
*Johnny's making an anxious face*
*Aoife's yelling "Foke Off!" repeatedly*
*Screen says Bloodborne*
We're starting the week off right
Okay so I kinda got sent here by way of Oxbox/oxtra and I love it so far. You guys are like the naughty version, with grown-up words.
I love going from old videos to new videos and watching the spreading of Johnny's arm tattoos
I was watching some oh the older gamespot videos a while ago, so it's beard growth for me lol
I watch these almost entirely for “peak Wilson” moments
"Oh what was that STD?"
"Eh it will come to me"
Phrasing
16 seconds in and we have peak Wilson.
Choidinis kitchen brought me to EG, Aoifes cursing kept me here.
Brock Sisson same
Can't go wrong on that.
Have come over from Luke's playthrough on Oxtra, and I am shocked... Did Johnny leave the infamous "Beware of Bird"?
Ah Bloodborne. The hard man's Darksouls.
No hiding behind a shield for the whole game, oh no.
You need to float like a butterfly and sting like a kick to the nuts.
Love this game.
Adam Wilson There's also none of this automatically replenishing health items nonsense. You either find blood vials, buy them or go without.
Se7en2107 yes that is indeed the case my good man. Bloodborne pulls not its punches. Bloodborne punches with all its fury until you stop twitching or more accurately until you have zero currency to obtain health vials and zero motivation to grind; mainly because you've chewed all your own teeth and your arms are twitching coz your nerves are completely wrecked due to your dependency on timing critical dodging and counters to survive...
Yeah, I've got scars from playing this game.
Kelsey Maitland I wouldn't say it's necessarily "easier"; maybe a bit more accessible as a first From Software game
Kelsey Maitland Okay, I can agree that Bloodborne encourages you to be more aggressive. I mean, you even get some health back if you're quick about it. So I definitely see your point there
I love it, too, but I've never understood the idea that it's somehow harder than DS. Because of the regain system, you can kinda just smack things to death without really paying any attention to what you're doing. Bosses and really large crowds are the exceptions, but for most of the game, you just run up to something and mash R1 until it's dead with very little resistance.
Quick FYI on the beefeaters for you, they have to have served 21 years in the armed forces, become a sgt major (or equivalent) and then you can apply to join the yeoman of the guard, if you have the long service and good conduct medal you are automatically invited if you meet the other criteria, then once a beefeater only a few are then selected to live and work at the tower, The others (and them) are still officially the queens bodyguard.
"take a little prickle"
Oh my god
Prickled Dick
After a pretty rough day at work, I get to come home late to see this -- and it's just what I needed.
I missed the last episode of the Dark Souls Let's Play, so I wanna say it here: Thanks Johnny and Aoife! I was always scared shitless of Dark Souls, or other "hard" games (cause I may have one or two issues with failing anxiety... >.>) but then I saw Johnny playing this, and even if it wasn't always smooth, he finally dit it (no Aoife hasn't carried you thru this, you both made great teamwork. No one ever said the lord of cinder must fall by only one blade). Because of you two, now i'm really playing this. Not smooth, but I get my redwards for all the effort and it feels great! :D
New subscriber to Eurogamer, just found this series. I absolutely adore it! Honest, funny and it’s such a delight :)
You gesture by holding the X button and then moving the controller in the direction indicated on the gesture tab. I'm pretty sure the only time anybody actually does it, though, is when they are jamming the X button to grab an item and the controller moves slightly.
Edit: you manually gesture by pressing the left trackpad.
Also, shoot dogs once to knock them down. Makes them so much easier to deal with.
Brian Reynolds Oh wow. This whole time I've just been pressing the touch pad and manually selecting the gesture like an idiot
I got Bloodborne because of your Dark Souls playthrough. Always thought it looked cool, but thought I'd have a terrible time constantly dying. You showed off all the awesome stuff between the "You died"-screens. An enormous thank you from me and my flatmate, the backseat-gamer. I've been hoping you would play this after DS ever since I started playing it. Haven't finished it yet, though, because life .. uh.. got in the way, so I'll have to get playing so you don't catch up with me
A little late to this party, but... watched this yesterday and loved it. It's now Monday, first conference call down, all I wanted to do was say "'ello luv, behave, oi, come on you spuurrrs, oi" constantly. With "Kick him. In the Dick" or "FuckOffFuckOffFuckOff" as the answer to every question. Love it. 'ello luv, oi, behave. But it's not even Monday fuck'n 10am yet. Send help. Please? Behave, oi.
Couple of things, just for your interest:
The pig does respawn (great for farming souls).
The music box actually confuses Father Gascoigne's beast form.
This is how I beat him:
I had the boring axe so I used my visceral attacks on his human form until I was out of quicksilver bullets. Then I transformed my axe and kind of dueled him until he transformed into his beast form. Finally, I used the music box and while he was confused, I covered him with the oil urn and then spammed molotov cocktails at him. Somewhere in that process I also used Iosefka's blood vial, just as a safety measure.
Richard Kickens or Luke from Outside Xtra in disguise?
A tip that I think would be very beneficial: Wait a second after parrying and position yourself before swinging, you'll hit viscerals way more consistently.Also, the saw cleaver is one of if not the best weapon in the game when used with beast blood pellets and transform attacks (specifically against bosses). It does bonus damage against beasts and most of the bosses are beasts, and the beast blood pellets increase your damage a ton depending on your level of insight (lower insight gives a higher bonus with the pellets)
And so beginnings the Eurogamer Bloodborne song compilation and soundboard
Got to admit, I'm at a beach in Santorini, cooling off and watching the endless blue in front of me, yet I check out my RUclips subs and there you are with a brand new series which I know I'll adore.
My only regret is that my phone battery is dying and I have to get back and recharge it before watching this.
Thank you for making me look forward a new episode each Monday ;-)
i have never in my life seen two people who are this completely on the same wavelength
you guys missed getting the saw spear weapon.. and the free armor set lol :( dont forget to talk to alfred the bro to praise the good blood
I think what I love the most about this channel is hearing things I normally wouldn't, such as, where's the pig? With the bum? Also, never knew I needed a cockney rendition of "Come on Eileen" in my life.
FINALLY! You two are the best, I’ve been dying to see you play Bloodborne!
I had the same feeling after finishing Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin last week. I wanted to play something light, fun and easy for a while before starting another From Software game, like Uncharted: Lost Legacy or something. I'm now 40 hours into Dark Souls 3 :-/
In my head, Dick Kickens is the long suffering roommate of Posh Finchy, always coming home to find talcum powder all over the sofa and bite marks in his moustache wax.
My name IS Richard, so i approve of this! You guys are awesome!
Soooooooooooo insanely happy about this :D I too, while an aficionado of DS, do tend to prefer Bloodborne for both the aesthetic and the nimbleness of the combat. Btw you can get the Hunter's Garb (with cape) in the sewer by dropping down from the far end of the great bridge; and if you drop onto the ledge just above the channel with the rowboats (also in the sewer, but at the other end, near where you met Eileen) you can get the items from the corpses you knocked down - one of them is the Saw Spear.
I know I'm late and you almost certainly won't read this but I like to feel I contribute here sometimes :|
If you keep hitting enemies after they’ve died, you can regain more health. So glad you’re continuing right away with this!
Johnny, I think we all knew you preferred blood borne by the time episode 2 of the dark souls play through aired
1:02:56 No Johnny, that is what he meant. He was obsessed over Maria (a DLC boss), and the doll looks just like her. Gerhman was a weirdo.
you aggroed the brick troll because if you take the path you did without killing him he'll always follow you up
So I was rewatching van hellsing the other night and literally all that went through my head the whole time was sexy sexy Kate Beckinsale..... so thanks guys lol
Couple of tips for you guys:
Pick a weapon you want to upgrade rather than trying loads throughout the game. The upgrade resources become harder to come by as the game goes on.
Outfits are more cosmetic rather than for protection, but the elemental protections are important for certain bosses. I know you guys have played Bloodborne already, but it's all great to keep in mind.
(EDIT) Also remember that the badges are what give you access to new weapons at the bath in the hunters dream. So you now have access to the Kirkhammer after beating the cleric beast.
A s someone who spent far to much time grinding the only time I'm short on upgrade resources was the blood chunks and stones obviously, & I have several weapons up to +8, before I bought the DLC. Was using Ludwig's holy blade for most of the game at +9 till i got the Whirlygig then I used the only rock in the base game to get it to +10. Currently banging my head against Lady Maria.
@@someguyshere6968 Once you get the parry timing down Maria gets a bit easier. The Orphan is a fucking nightmare though
Yea shes becomes a blast when you learn the patterns Orphan kicking my ass all over the place.
If Richard Kickens is the descendant of Sir Butts does that mean there will one day, in another From Software game played by Johnny and Aoife, be a descendant of Mr. Kickens called Cleo Taurus?
That is "Austin Powers" level of naming and I don't know how to feel
I really don’t know how Ian slapped that wolf to death at the start. I was lucky to run past it and get to the first lantern to take me to the Hunter’s Dream without taking damage.
The pistol is much easier to gun parry with than the blunderbuss.
The timing, angle and distance need to be more exact to get a riposte opportunity with the blunderbuss.
I had like a 10% hit rate with the blunderbuss I average like 70% on the pistol.
This is three years plus late but Aoife's trying to do viscerals with the heavy attack. Stagger with heavy, visceral with light.
Remember when you've been hit and have just killed the enemies you can continue to hit them a few times after the last hit to recover some of the blood you have lost.
I just love the back and forth Simpsons references between Johnny and Aoife, makes me enjoy the videos even more
So happy you're playing Bloodborne! I've only just got the game myself so it's going to be extra fun playing it along with you. It'll also be great motivation to push forward so I don't get any spoilers.
Press F for Aoife's mic...
Love 'peak Wilson' moments! Love watching you two do these Let's Plays.
I went to uni with a man, and I swear this is true, named Richard Rodney Cooch III. That's right: Dick Rod Cooch. The third.
Luckily, he totally owned the fact that he came from a proud lineage of Dick Rod Cooches, and was just generally a great guy, so he never received any crap for it, to my knowledge. Good man, that Cooch.
So I'm playing a 5e one shot in a week or so and I'd decided to build a monk, but had no idea what to call him. I think "Richard Kickens III" will suit him quite nicely.
So happy this is happening, watched all the souls let’s play and loved every second of it. Parry parry parry is the way to go with bloodborne. Makes the animalesk and Grundy enemies so much easier. Also my heart sank when you walked past the saw spear 😱
Oh the Swedish Chef, popping up when you least expect him. Almost like Australian Johnny...
I’m not getting the reference for the “Hello, love” and “behave” thing. Is it Michael Caine? Just generic Cockney? Johnny mentioned putting a link in the description which makes me think it’s from something specific.
I wouldn’t normally ask, but it seems this is going to be a series long bit and not knowing will drive me crazy for months to come.
It's this! Behave, behave

Eurogamer Wow! Thanks very much!
*post-viewing edit: Hilarious! Great sketch. Everything makes total sense now and I’ll enjoy the series even more. Cheers.
Big Train is a classic!
COME ON YOU SPUUUUURS
@@eurogamer oh wow, that was absolutely brilliant! I laughed so hard!
18:43
Because one does not simply walks into more doors.
I love how often Johnny references The Muppet Christmas Carol! Best Christmas movie ever
I'm so happy that you guys are playing Bloodborne!!! :)
Came for Aiofe swearing, stayed for Johnny's constant Big Train references.
I've got a strat for Mr. Kickens. Upon death your echoes drop just like souls and are only picked up by an enemy if their path takes them directly over them. So, if at some point you feel like your echoes might be in too tough of an enemy, you can quit out and reload the game, this sends all enemies back to their starting points and usually leaves your echoes on the ground ready to grab!
This was delightful from beginning to end. (I assume, Aoife's warbling is what prompted me to comment fifteen minutes before the end.)
1:31:18 - Johnny is clearly a fan of Big Train, haha. I love that sketch.
I think if you complete the DLC before the actual game it opens up new dialogue for the Doll and Gehrman?
Yes. I forget exactly when you need to beat the DLC by but after doing so the Doll talks about Gehrman having a restful night's sleep. No longer plagued by a horrible nightmare
(40.00) The stone troll guy automatically starts slowely heading towards you if you pass him and head up the stairs past him... i was almost in pain counting the moments till his appearance when you missed him
"Now watch as I die by other means!"
Me, playing after I defeat any obstacle in any game - EVER!
Vegetable.
I can't un-hear this now, in fact I'm actively seeking out spectres. Vegetable. Thanks Johnny! :D
So this is where Lord Milktoast got his name I guess :)
I am so glad you guys decided to jump straight into Bloodborne
Some Gascoigne tips:
Stage 1: Range, try to keep him the other side of headstones, dodge backwards then counter as he gets stuck on them.
Stage 2: Dodge like your life depends on it, his pistol is OP as hell, parries and landing criticals only, don't bother with anything else, 3 should do it for that stage.
Stage 3: Music Box, still works in that form, and just Molitov Cocktails as he's weak to fire at that point. Tip with the molitovs after you've got him with the box; try to get him on higher ground as the throws can arch over him from normal level.
Good hunting
Also you can kite him up the stairs if you get stuck in the grave stones. Learned that after I finally killed the prick. would have been much easier.
I think you are missing some Visceral Attacks because you have to stop moving and then press R1.
Basically: after the parry, position yourself, STOP any input, then press R1. (same with the backstabs in Dark Souls)
No air horn when dealing with bosses I've started doing that for myself after I win the horn goes off. Only suggestion I have for Gascoine is to grind the opening area a few times (Guide suggested Level for the Central Yarnham is Level 25 - 35 with a + 3 weapon) High health also really handy for survival against him & beyond. Looking forward to more in the coming weeks hopefully you all don't lose your minds. I hear insight is key to that.
You don't have to fight & kill Eileen, Instead of a long explanation ill just link to the wiki for her it has all the locations & steps for her quest line. As one of the few actually decent folk in the game killing her made no sense.
bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/Eileen+the+Crow
But don't worry you'll run into your old buddy "Trusty" Patches later on and you also have the option of killing him which I really kinda had to.
I'm so glad you guys are playing this. Bloodborne is my favorite Souls game!
And for etiquettes sake, please ensure ones socks are not inside out for the fight.
I was on the edge of my seat more than a few times in this, can't wait for next week when you face off against Father Paparelli (Gascoigne)
Yes, yes yes. So very glad to have this starting. And Johnny! Such prowess with that interrupt on the axe man early on
Ah, so I have a "like a penis" skin tone. That definitely explains why I never look good in photos..
The Big Yin, (a.k.a. Billy Connely) used to have a part of his act about how Scottish people aren't white, they're actually blue and need several days of sunbathing before they even class as white, let alone tanned...
After several days of sunbathing, I won't have any skin left at all.
Ah, my two favourite online personalities playing one of the greatest PS4 exclusives out there. This video was glorious and might I add a relevant change when it comes to healing?
Instead of a tickle of estus, how about a prick of blood?
Welp, it was a mistake to try watching this while eating lunch. My windpipe may never recover.
Oh yeah, gestures are done via moving the controller in specific ways too (tilting towards you is probs doing that cheer). Fancy fancy.
Love the name - Dick Kickens! Looking forward to the series! Good luck!
I enjoy seeing the confidence shift between this and Dark Souls
This episod should have been titled " 'Ello love"
Also, there miiight be a reason why there are so many oil urns and molotovs stacked up before Gascoigne :)
The real Iosefka is only here in early game. The next time you come upon this door and the lady who asks you to send people to her is an imposter. Different voice actor to boot. She turns Iosefka into that celestial emissary minion in the clinic and the same fate meets all you send the imposters way.
Dino Crisis case behind Johnnys head!
In case anyone's wondering about the sketch Johnny and Aoife are referring to throughout (at 1:38:00) it's here: ruclips.net/video/XGFknyGKtao/видео.html
Yes , you guys listened :D
Thanks for this
i guess bloodborne and pubg are 2 VERY different skill sets. i'm very good at pubg but i suckkk at bloodborne and johnny and aoife are the opposite. You guys are so good at this game!
p.s. I've seen ALL your pubg gameplay videos like 4 times, they're my absolute favorites!
What attracted the big guy at 39:37 were the gunshots.
actually you can choose not to die by running past the were wolf, then getting to the ladder and if you get to the first lantern you can go to the hunters dream.
someone should make a compilation of all the funny noises you guys make on let's plays lol
17:25 Richard Kicken's arch nemesis, Sheethe Big-Fouger?
On one of my several play throughs of Bloodborne, I decided to make a B-line to the cleric beast. I didn't die to the first beastie, I just ran away. I continued running all the way to the first boss fight. And then I used the Hunter's Mark. So the first time I saw the doll I hadn't died yet, she was awake, and then I got my weapons. Next thing I did was summon Father Gascoigne to help me with the cleric beast. xD It was simultaneously the hardest and laziest way I ever started the game.
Yay, I have been waiting for this!
Oh, starting Bloodborne already?
That's it, i'm reinstating Mondays back into my calendar
Also if Ian is the Chosen one, we're all doomed
Ian did amazingly in LTTP of this. Aoife just forgot where the shortcuts were or else he could've levelled up and beat Father Gascoigne
Knowing Ian it would be a one fight kill as well, jammy git :P
the saw cleaver is my favourite weapon in the entire game, dlc included
It drove me batty that they didn't go into the rafters to get the weapon and visit the crow before dropping down to take the Madman's Knowledge from the rats. They got there eventually, it just seemed like a less efficient route. Oh and the armor set on the other end of the sewers...
That Muppet Christmas Carol reference made me so happy!
Father Gascoingne is actually the father of the child who gives you the music box as that is what usually removes him from his beast state and returns him into a loving father. The women found in the same arena is of course the wife and mother to the child.
Very excited that I can alternate between the adventures of Richard Kickins and Big Boy Season over at Waypoint!
Pretty excited to see you guys take this one on
