My English translation is inspired by the lore of Bloodborne and mood of its soundtrack, while also following the imperfect Latin lyrics as closely as possible.
Many thanks to the Bloodborne fan community for providing the pool of knowledge needed to create this translation.
Thanks also to Shirrako for providing the music: / @shirrako
LATIN LYRICS:
Venator a mi sumo vela mala
Anima do res mihi somne restas
Luna insidiosa
Mira tenebrarum
Di vises mi miserete aeterna
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Good hunter, let me free you from this evil
I devote my life to sustain the dream
Oh, the insidious moon
Oh, these mysterious nights
Great one, look upon me and grant everlasting mercy
What makes this even more sad is when you consider that it isn’t just Gehrman saying this to the player or vice versa. Most likely, they’re both saying it to each other. The player is trying to free Gehrman from the nightmare, and Gehrman is trying to protect the player from an eternity of pain
Gehrman’s lore is very sad I feel really bad for him. Glad I freed him from his eternal suffering and turned into a squid.
The one who loses, wins. And the winner, loses
I would agree, but if you beat him and then Flora, you ascend humanity.
Yes. The fact that in some part the music goes back and forth, harmonizing together as in talking to each other.
@𝐗 𝐗 𝐕 𝐈 𝐈 it's an act of him being you're teacher a mentor trying to protect his student from suffering his same fate
This fight is gut wrenching from a story perspective
Two duty bound hunters fighting tooth and nail for the honor of showing mercy to the other, both willing to keep living in this nightmarish world so the other might find some peace.
Just saying these emotional stakes are rare in video game boss fights lol
I didn’t feel nearly as emotional parrying the selfish lord gwyn into oblivion
With Gwyn I think he was less motivated by selfishness then he was by fear. He fought tooth and nail to carve out a home for his people against the arch dragons, built a kingdom, got married, had kids, and lead a prosperous kingdom.
Then, the dark sign showed up. People started hollowing, including those close to him. He implored the other lord's to look for a solution, and the chaos witches created another problem, the bed of chaos.
He chose to link the fire, genuinely trying to save his people, his family, and his friends. It was his last ditch effort to save the world. He couldn't have known about the cyclical nature of the world after all. His sacrifice was misguided heroism.
While I completely agree with you, in Gwyn's defense I don't think you were supposed to feel emotional. Atleast not in terms of the fight itself. All soulsborne games have this long lasting tradition of beating up old men in their dying breathes for whatever reason. Isshin, Vendrick, and ofcourse Gerhman have been all meaningful experiences to our persona nad character, in game and out.
But with Gwyn specifically, his experience is... Underwhelming and for good reason. He was meant to be a disappointment. His story legend dictates and represents him as this all powerful and heroic figure that led men, giant, and God alike to salvation and was known for his might and leadership against the battle of the Arch Dragons. He was painted to be this figure of importance.
But when we step through those gates within the inner chasms of a molten and rotting desolance of the kiln, all we are met is an empty husk devoid of all meaning, and serves as a lowly cradle to a dying flame. Hollowed out, broken, covered with ashen soot, worthless just like any of the hollows we encounter in the earlier areas of the decrepid world of Lordran. You aren't to feel emotional, rather you are supposed to feel empty at the fact of the being represented upon you, robbing your last, supposedly "epic" experience and replacing it with a sad excuse of a bossfight.
I know it could've been executed better, and I know I could've written that with better clarity, but in it's own time the tale was grand in it's lonely and desolate world.
Another example happens in persona 5, persona 5 royal and persona 5 Strikers. Since they are story games, ofc it is explained and developed better, but this one still is SICK

Fromsoft can get poetic when they just wanna give us playable art.
Didn't Gael plan on having the ashen one deliver the blood for painting since he couldn't? I wouldn't say that was for nothing.
@@vince8237 When you travel to the final area, it's a huge time jump. The girl was dead by then, the world was going to end like that anyway, and the painting will eventually have the same fate as Ariendel.

@@theonlyMoancoreyou can literally give the painter gael's blood btw, painted worlds maybe go through different timelines
@@MustyHam A painted world eventually has to burn away, it's a cycle, or else the rot takes over and it's an Ariendel part 2. Granted the painter is in a painted world sooooo it might be different?
After 3 playthroughs of Elden Ring, somehow I just wanted to hear this track. Radagon's theme was epic AF for us Tarnished, but this one hits different.
this is actually in elden ring, one of the merchants plays it although its not the complete track
@@awesomebuck2139yup! just realized it, found the merchant in Forest-Spanning Greatbridge at Atlus Plateau.
Radagon sounds glorious, as he is basically known as a legend to everyone, and the husband of queen rennala. This one is just, depression
Yeah, same. I've never been hit by videogame ost as hard as this. I cried when I first fought Gehrman. Probably my favourite final boss out of all fromsoft games (shame the moon presence was such a letdown as the true final boss).
Radagon is a god who not only still retains his own power, but is also empowered by remaining shards of the elden ring, and we're able to match his power by the time we fight him. His theme should sound epic, as we are truly being tested by the Greater Will while we fight him. We are quite literally achieving something that no other protagonist in any other Soulslike has managed to achieve.
With Gehrman's theme, we refuse to let him mercy kill us. We've seen too much of the hunt, gotten too much of a taste for the blood, and it clouds our judgement and vision. What we once saw as a tutor in Gehrman, we only see as an advisory who is trying to keep the rest of the dream from us. However, the truth is that Gehrman realizes the mistake he made in having us join the hunt, and only wishes to save us from the fate he fell into long ago.
I feel like this translation makes the most sense out of all of them, and goddamn it, I still get choked up when that choir starts up
All the ost is a rising wave to that very point (the choir). I keep thinking this is the best Fromsoftware ost. Elden Ring has something great too, it's quite doubtless, but dear ooo dear Gherman Ost is so intense and intimate too !
I love how every time you think there's gonna be a big creshendo and it gets all loud, it quiets back down, then gets louder again. Until it gets to the part with the choir, but even then it still sounds kinda hollow at the start, till it gets really ramped up. Then, just like before, it quiets back down, and ends with almost a whimper. Beautiful song and one of the best games I've ever played
I always interpreted that as the hunters gerhmans saved from the dream each time it starts to crescendo is when they fight and gerhman frees them and looses more hope that he’ll escape the dream
Bloodborne will always have the greatest story on all of the souls game
we are but a passing hunter, searching for his peace of mind or maybe seeking the forbbiden knowledge that preys our curiosity
we are cursed in this world, but we hunt and kill our way out of the darkness, because thats the only thing we can do
hunt
FUCK I love this game
According to Miyazaki, Bloodborne is the one that stick to his heart the most compared to others he'd created throughout SoulsBorne games.
He cant do bloodborne 2 because bloodborne owned by sony
@@boon3772 Still, lot better than being owned by EA
@godrick the grafted If EA owns Fromsoftware, it is guaranteed that the graphics are cool but the deal and gameplay for items however... sucks as hell, leeching--no, devouring your wallet to the point it was a robbery just by playing it.
@@boon3772 he doesn't want to do it too
he already stated he doesn't like to make continuations especially because they would invalidate the ending from the past games
dark souls only has a 2nd game because Sony wanted to (and he wasn't involved on the development) and DS3 is there to fix the errors of DS2, he probably won't be making a Bloodborne 2 or elden ring 2 soon
Gehrman already broke my heart, sometimes you can find him screaming for his friends to come save him while sobbing behind the house, then in the real world you find his friends corpses and their souls In the nightmare, meaning he didn't know the one hope he had was gone. He held out for so long keeping others free while waiting for something that would never come.
Maybe they made a promise to take his place, maybe they promised to end the dream, whatever it was they never succeeded and he never knew.
But he still kept going.
The last boss being just a sad old man it's somehow perfect
gherman just wanted to save you from the dream, from witnessing moon presence, but it was time for him to rest. for us was time to kill one last god.
The moon being in front of the clouds is incredibly unsettling
Farewell, good hunter.
May you find your worth in the waking world.
Two people trying to mercy kill, and save the other from a fate worse than death.
I'll be honest, when playing any of the Souls games i never paid to much attention to the soundtrack, but Bloodborne was something else, that fight with Gehrman caught my attention and showed me those amazing soundtracks.
Bloodborne had the best music. Best combat and aesthetic too.
sekiro combat way better
@@ScrodumHat Sekiro best combat from all fromsoftware but worst story in comparison
@@Pankreastitis better than demon souls
@@ScrodumHat That's true
Any Soulsborne game can sound horrible if you dumb down the summary enough
Demon’s souls: Guy had enough of the demons and decided to kill everything in his path, but he wasn’t good at it
-Dark Souls I: Some ‘chosen’ skinny guy wants to hold some fire, so he kills dragons, wolves, and eventually an old man with a fiery sword that dies to 7 parries
-Dark Souls II: Another skinny dude decides they wanna to beat up a tall goth lady to become an emo who controls the darkness
-Dark Souls III: Some other not-so-skinny guy wants to put out the flame started by the first skinny guy, so he fights the souls of all the dudes who started it
-bloodborne: a masochistic immigrant walks into medival Furcon and fights an old man to free him from hallucinations
-Sekiro: Samurai. That’s all I have to say
-Elden ring: a guy wakes up on a small island and is walking towards a massive tree like a moth to a flame, only to realize he’s gotta kill god itself
Elden Ring doesn't have a single soundtrack that evokes such a level of feelings. Gwyn, AW, Gherman. Masterpieces are timeless.
Maybe Radagon, but...

If they had real lyrics that would be debatable
The first hunter vs the last hunter.
Filthy comment thief...
And on this video as well...
The real fight is holding back tears while keeping 2 hands on the controller
Everything comes to an end in Bloodborne, hopeless efforts put to waste for a world long since doomed to its coil. There is no such thing as a good ending in this world, which is why Bloodborne is my top 3. Pure helplessness but yet the Hunter will always be curious.
The night and the hunt were long…
What I find tragedically poetic about Gerhman as a whole is that this boss fight is meant to symbolize the final duel between Master and Student and we all know how this turns out, considering Laurence and Wilhelm.
If bloodborne remasters came out this year it would instantly trump literally any game from winning GOTY
the moon sure is present in this screenshot
Moon presence looking from afar like:
0.0
This is the greatest game ever made.
Not even knowing what it means to refuse Gherman. Somehow the theme still hits hard, like why do i feel sad about this. I refused you because i've seen too much to just die and forget
To refuse is to take Gehrman's place, you become the host of the hunter's dream and do what Gehrman did for so many years, when Gehrman dies after you fight him, he is free, he no longer has to exist in the hunter's dream, and goes to wherever you go if you take his offer. Refusing him is Gehrman's best ending
Well actually ☝️🤓 do you really forget? Eileen the Crow seemingly knows a lot for someone that used to be a hunter themselves
Why are Soulsborne soundtracks straight masterpieces. From the lore contained within the lyrics, to the lyrics themselves, to the beats, to the tune, all of it is spot on. This isn't just good videogame music, this is just good music, period. I love these tracks so much. You could honestly drop them in a movie or a TV series and I would not guess that they were out of place.
Gehrman: was it the hunt? The blood?
Me: neither. I'm transcending humanity tonight, but first I'll end your suffering.
PAIN, ONLY PAIN, EVEN ALL THESE YEARS LATER
Just so legendary
When you have a bossfight with Herman, you understand that now there is a battle for helping each other and you are trying to free each other, but only one will remain
*Gherman*
After seeing the english lyrics of this phenomal OST, the Honorable Wishes/ Refuse Gherman's Offer ending is one of the best soulsborne ending that Fromsoftware has to offer. Two hunters saving each other's life, the one who wins loses and the loser is the winner. Damn man, such a poetic way to end a masterpiece. To this day, I view this ending as freeing Gherman from the dream, to the point that the good hunter is willing to become the host, become a prisoner of a great one.
What I love about this song is how it makes the true ending feel, not just the bad ending. At this point, you've become a demigod, slaying beasts and horrors with your blade in the name of ceasing this horrible cycle.
You conquered Kos and freed the old hunters, allowing them to pass on. You slayed Rom, freeing her from her eternity. And now you've finally achieved the means of confronting Kos's sworn enemy, the monster that took advantage of her curse to keep the Hunters endlessly being tormented and hunting monsters for its own entertainment.
But you're not done yet. You still have one more thing to do before you confront the Moon Presence. You have your friend, the first hunter, the one who gave you the beloved Doll you keep at your side. The one who gave you a weapon. Gehrman. You know that you're capable of ending this all, but he doesn't. He just wants you to stop, to end it, to finally be free from the pain HE had to endure.
But you do it. You defeat him. You slay him and free his feeble old mind from the plague of the true villain, and you walk up to the Moon Presence with a heavy heart. You prepare to accept your role as the new Great One who will rebuild Yharnam. The Moon Presence is not difficult, because you've already confronted the hardest choice in this game.
Damn, that’s a bone-chilling summary
I 100% Bloodborne playing it multiple times and never listened to the music. There's so much insane screaming going on half the time or me rolling for my life avoiding combos that I never paid attention to the music lol.
Just finished the game yesterday and wow this had potential to be one of the best games of all time
My dad learned latin because of this.
I can’t believe he didn’t cry during the titanic! Do men have feelings?

A song that perfectly captures the essence of two veteran hunters in a duel to the death to save one another from a terrible fate. What's really sad is Gehrman personfies what happens to a hunter when they become trapped in the dream for soo long. A hunter who enjoys the thrill of the hunt will forever be lost to it. A hunter who enjoys violence will forever be strickened in an eternal state of bloodlust that is never satisfied. But a hunter who stays in control and remains whole, is a hunter who becomes void of all emotion and yearns for death, as they are tired of the endless nightmare and hunting of beasts and monsters. Gehrman is that example. He's been trapped in the dream for soo very long that he can't remember the last time he saw daylight, of when he saw the people who were close to him. Left waiting and thinking Laurence is working on a plan to escape from the dream when in reality, he had turned to a ravenous beast that had gone mad and shedded any resemblance to his humanity. For what's right, it's time Gehrman left his position and be given the long needed rest he deserves.
Standing here i realize the elden ring merchants play something semi close to this
I was moon presence didn't exist as a boss fight, not because it's a bad boss, but because it would be way more poetic if the only options you have is either set gehrman free or let him free you, but in both cases, one of us has to stay here trapped
Tentacles ending to save Gehrman
I cannot describe what I felt the first time during this fight. It truly was a religious experience no exaggeration. This is the game that introduced me to FROMSOFT and it has literally changed my life.
What was it
The blood?
The hunt?
Or the horrible dream?
Now i will show u mercy
When the paraplegic stands up
Dear oh dear, what was it? The hunt the blood or the horrible dream, It doesn't matter you will die forget the dream and awake under the morning sun ,
Tonight german joins the hunt
Tonight, Gehrman join the hunt
i think he says 'i devote my soul to sustain the dream'' anima means soul
from the lore and the game itself i can describe it in one word perfection !

What’s stopping you?
@@bastard9982 no PC port 😭 i need a ps4
@@guimeplay1 ahh right 😅😅
I definitely put it as game with the best ost of the series just below ds3
Been playing Bloodborne for about 5 years now, always replay the game. But the one boss fight I always look forward to is Gehrman, because of the beautiful soundtrack
Oh man, I lost count on how many time I’ve replay this video
if you think about it the song is actually both of them talking
"Good hunter,let me free you from this evil" was probably Gehrman speaking to the player
And fun fact im supposed to memorize a speech and do homework but rn but im just memorizing this song
Gurhman set you up for the hunt but in the end you become the very thing he became and wanted to stop you. You're thirst for blood grew the more power and skill you gained made you more thirsty for the hunt. The player them selves go through the same. You start not knowing what is going on but by the end you become the very thing to set out to end. Even by the dlc the hunt never ends. Weather you are dreaming or having a nightmare the hunt will always haunt the hunter for a hunter will always be a hunter even in a dream. This battle felt like an stand with an old man making his last battle willing to sacrifice himself for the better. He became desperate to wake up. Fight or flight situation but when you defeat him it fells horrible like you killed a grandad and a mentor.
How is it both of them talking. It's just Gehrman.
And like many others, I like to head-canon that the boss theme that plays directly after this one, Moon Presence, is the _Hunter's_ song. After uncovering all the atrocities committed on behalf of this pathetic thing, pretending to be a god and using us, using Gehrman, as pawns to the benefit of nothing but itself... well, to say they are "pissed" would be putting it lightly.
This is the hardest boss in the game…
Because it’s hard to fight with tears in your eyes
This Epic Boss Fight & Epic soundtrack & Legendary Game 10/10
Crazy how it all started when the scholars of Byergenworth became obsessed with wanting to know everything.
What about the Ptumerians? (I fucked the spelling up so bad lol). Isn’t it more their fault?
Damn so the merchants in Elden RIng really are playing this
They’re more so playing something similar to it

I like how the moon is up close rather than just being in the background. It is as if the moon is looking at Gehrman intently.

@@ivanrenic4243 I think Gehrman is dead by the time you free him, since he already looked pretty old.
@@LowIntSpecimen true, but the quote is spoken by the doll and refers to the main character, not Gehrman.
@@ivanrenic4243 The original comment was probably referring to Gehrman though, since it uses his defeat dialogue.
I love that the lyrics can be interpreted in two ways.
Either its Gehrman begging us to give up so he can save us from this dream, or its the player telling Gehrman that they will end Gehrmans suffering and accept the new role the Moon Prescense will impose upon them in exchange for Gehrmans freedom.
Perhapse it is both the player and Gehrman; each saying the same to eachother, in hopes the other will back down.
@@crackensvideo probably. If that is the case, it would be more sad. And we all know BloodBorne story is sad af
Both? Both is good.
This proves the story is a masterpiece😢
Well no, because the Hunter would have no idea of the Moon Presence existence when fighting Gherman it only shows up after
Also it says “Oh, these mysterious nights” the games time span is all in one night Gherman has done this for many nights hence the wording for“I devote my life to sustain the dream” and “these”and “nights”

Hi, Italian here, I study Latin and Greek and I am a pianist, sometimes composer. I want to give my help for this "problematic" lyrics. I listened many times various versions of this piece. This is my last (but not the least I think, I hope Kitamura and colleagues will release their partitures one day) version of the choir part.
Venator ah mihi sumo vela mala,
anima do, res mihi solve recta.
Luna insidiosa
Mira tenebrarum (luna dolorosa)
Vibices mihi miserit aeterno.
Ah, hunter, I carry on myself the evil veils,
I give myself entirely, find for me the right choice.
The insidious moon,
oh/the wonders of the night (painful moon),
sent me the wounds eternally.
Line 1: "vela" is the only good word I think. "Vena" isn't correct for the neutral plural. Possibly, the last word is "amara" (bitter, so figurative "painful").
Line 2: "anima" is ablative, so the sense is figurative.
Line 4: I think the male voicese sing the first version proposed, the female the other on the brackets.
Line 5: At the start it's "vibi-", not "divi-". "Aeterno" or "aeterna", indifferent.
I hope you'll enjoy my efforts!
Thanks!
Grazie mille del contributo, hats off to you.
The Latin case system is bonkers 😵💫
Ευχαριστώ
The way they use it is not wrong it is called artistic license : It allows the writters to bend the language abit in order to fit the message they want to convey this happens in many poems and songs and it started from Greece even before Homers time allowing the work of art to be more dramatic and impactful even if it bends the normal use of language a little. An easy example is I was made for loving you from Kiss. " I was made for loving you "is wrong grammaticaly . The correct one is " I was made to love you and you were made to love me" the verb love does not have a present continuous. " I am loving "does not exist grammatically yet artist use it sometimes. it is also used by uneducated Americans and non native english speakers but it is still grammaticaly wrong.
This is without a shadow of a doubt, the best boss theme in the entire souls series. It's just a shame it's not the final boss theme.
Technically is depending on what ending you go for

It's not a sign of pity. Or even hatred. It's a duty to which you must perform against your will. Gherman wants this. He needs this. His escape. His freedom. This is about you both. Life and death. You free him from this hell for which he cannot escape on his own. But in doing so. You take his mantle. You now watch all these poor hunters come into the Hunter's Dream. Lost. Hopeless. Knowing nothing but to fight. We all are fighting. For different reasons. For Gherman. Was a duty to which he swore by to do. But giving his soul and to live out this life until someone comes along and do what must be done. He does not fight to kill you. He fights to show, that he too, was a Hunter in his time and that you do not want this.
wow hits hard bro
Dude is not a happy camper, and he thinks that by killing him, you are undoing what he (in his eyes) did to win the fight against the scourge of beasts. He has zero awareness to things outside the realm he is trapped in. He even laments that he hopes Laurence is doing alright.
@@thiccolascage8180 given the fact that that Laurence is in the hunters nightmare it would make sense that Gehrman knows nothing of the state he is in nor how much time has passed
Man no offense but all those periods aren’t deep they just hurt
Knowing nothing but to fight, I guess you can say his memory is broken, the truth goes unspoken and he almost forgets his name.

@@thelonelystankmuncher8879 so whats after that? If gherman didnt die moon present woulldnt come out too
I feel like all of the build ups in the track, when you expect to hear something epic like a choir but you end up dissapointed and anxious, is what Gehrman felt with all of the hunters that passed by the dream. He hoped that someday someone, either the people he knew like Laurence or a hunter would eventually free him but noone did for years. But that last build up is us, the player refusing to have ourselves be saved and instead save Gehrman. That was what he was waiting for in the dream and that was what we were expecting in the build ups as listeners
Yet, he doesnt want the hunter to suffer the same fate he had to go through, and as a result the "epic" choir sounds more like it's resonating a very tragic event instead of the great finale listeners might go to hear
Oh Lawrence... Master Willem... Somebody, help me. Unshackle me. Please, anybody. I've had enough of this dream. The night blocks all sight. oh, somebody please!
This OST, Ludwig and Lady Maria are my 3 favorite OST in the franchise.
Laurence, the first vicar and yhorm the giant are up there for me.
Orphan of Kos deserves recognition too. All the soundtracks in this game are beautiful.
1- Laurence.
2- Twin Princes.
3- Ludwig.
But when it comes to other things, Gehrman is the best hands down.

The Hunter always knew the truth. As they traveled throughout the bloodied streets of Yharnam and beyond, they discovered the Eldritch Truth. The true reason behind the dream's creation and the purpose of the Hunt and the Hunters who partook in it. The Hunter freed their predecessors from the Nightmare and knew that something needed to be done about the Dream. So they consumed the three Umbilical Cords, gained the proper amount of Insight to comprehend more than what their reality offered them, slew Mergo, one of the last remaining offspring of the Great Ones, and set off to destroy the last enemy: the rotten, malicious creature that was housed within the moon.
But first, he needed to help one last comrade. The Last Hunter would face off against the First. To give birth to a new world.
Okay, i did not expect to tear up reading the translation. Just like Laurence it fits perfectly and hits right where it hurts
Damnit, Gehrman, you've suffered long enough for others. Don't be such an idiot and let me take that burden from now on!
The nicest way of saying "just let me kill you"
So anyway I started slashing.
After that I killed a Big ass squid looking MF and turned into one.
I'M HUNTER SQUID(ward).
😢❤
I love how the nomadic merchant plays the first minute of his song in eldenring got to atlus plateau and go to broken bridge bonfire to hear it
"Legends of heroes and hunters are singed under moons of different nights."
Multiverse proof? Elden ring could take place before dark souls with flame of frenzy but where does bloodborne fit In?
@@hepic2874 the games are not connected. its just an easter egg
@@marioplumber3378 but it could be true.
@@hepic2874 Miyazaki himself literally deconfirmed this
if you look closely, the moon in bloodborne, throughout the whole game is ahead of the clouds, a fake moon, the moon presence is always watching you...
spooky
We never noticed it because gamers can’t look up
Hello Everyone! I studied Latin for 5 years, I looked at all the four versions of the lyrics and I am afraid that they are all wrong. There are some words which do not exist and/or the grammar is a mess. Probably you are not interested, but I prepared a version which is in correct Latin, without compromising the melody of the vocal part.
*Venator ah,*
Hunter (ah)
*Mihi sumo membra mala*
(It is) for me (that) I carry this cursed flesh
*Animam do*
I give (my) soul
*res mihi somnium restat*
The dream remains something related to me
*Luna insidiosa,*
(Oh,) ominous moon
*Mira tenebrarum,*
(oh), wonders of the night
*Dive vide me et misereris aeterna*
God/Great being, look at me and give me eternal mercy
The translation you gave still fits the fight.
That's actually really interesting
To be honest, this is the best version. Simple yet powerful.
Thanks a lot
He tells you exactly why the lyrics are different he told you they are inspired by the lore of the game therefore this whole explanation of why this one is wrong was just Unecessary
The setting, fight and music were already very sad...
But the lyrics just broke me
Games like this are just pure art
I find a strange bittersweet feel to the whole motivation of both the player and gherman being : Let me kill you I care about you.
I see you, filthy Homestuck.
@@Steven-xz5xt let me tell you about homestuck
@@hummus1973 I already know :0)
How dare this have one dislike 😩, In the name of the Vilebloods I say we hunt ‘em down. Take their dregs heheheh..
Aye, in the name of Master Logarius, we will cease our war to hunt this person
@@falah6398 In the name of all confederates of our noble League, we shall help you in your quest.
@@Deasty The Hunters of Hunters also pledge our blades to hunt this beast
@@fiercedeity9955 a month late but so do the powder kegs
And so do the people who has Embrace the Beast within
After finishing elden ring I can still say this is the best boss theme of all time
Fact
i love the godfrey one tho
Slave Knight Gael tops for me
@@blackchroma8847 for my ladys painting.
After Finishing Eldenring, I can Say This ist the best Game ever. Bloodborne is my new Religion.
Bloodborne is the best game in the Soulsborne series. Hands down. Not a matter of opinion, but in quality, uniqueness, story, and even with 30 FPS. Dark Souls 1-3 is amazing, but Bloodborne is just *chefs kiss*
Miyazaki has said even if these games are like children and he “does not have a favorite”, Bloodborne is his favorite lol
Its just a masterpiece like none other and
Elden Ring may (and probably will) be GOTY 2022 masterpiece too, but nothing ever will beat Bloodborne, I doubt even Bloodborne 2 could
the performance can be distracting sometimes, but the lore? characters? soundtrack weapons bosses fashion everything is so amazing i wish i could experience the game for the first time again
Agreed.
Ds1 still the GOAT deep in my heart
And people say video game soundtracks aren’t real music
Literally never met a single person who has said that
@@serbiancrusader7813 theres a lot of people that deem listening to osts outside the game something of terrible taste
In 4:10, one of the masculine singers really took the last “e” in “miserete” out of his soul
Grandads when you refuse the birthday money.
"Dear, oh dear. What was it? The Hunt? The Blood? Or the horrible dream?"
"No... It was the doll."
When I heard his hidden dialog while he was having a nightmare made that play through easy Gherman "I will show you mercy " me "old friend you have served your duty well and deserve peace . I will show you mercy "
1:47 Always sends chills through my entire body
2:30 is the best part in my opinion but tbh the whole ost is a masterpiece
Translation:
Sitting here, I realize
You are just like me trying to make history
The way the lyrics are sung is almost like it’s being cried out despair, with emphasis on the stressed delivery of “Miserete Aeterna” which really hits different once you understand the Latin definitions since it really embodies how extremely tired and done Gehrman is with being stuck in the dream
