Bit late on watching the vid, but what got me confused most, probebly was getting in to the abondend hunters house thing (where you can find the old hunters bone). After dying 100 times to the fall, and then finally opening the door. Seeing something you know, with such a weird vibe, in such a weird location, scared the sh!ts out of me.
I'm trying to fins the music you used for this video but anytime I look into the names of what you used int he description it doesn't pop up except for some EDM?
Once I was a normal individual with a skeptical view of the world and its contents. But once I tasted the blood of the hunt, I became a hunter obsessed with the hunt itself. I will never stop, not even if I hunt the most terrifying or unknown abominations in the waking world or the nightmare. I am powerful, deadly, and wise from my experience. I have gone mad with the insight I now possess and now I even hunt other hunters wanting the same. This is what it means to become a Bloodborne hunter.
The thing with Sould-Bourne comunity is that most of us already know whatever anyone is going to say or show and will probably enjoy seeing it and hearing another persons opinion on it non the less.
Laulaubi It’s funny how that’s such a common theme related to the Soulsborne-Sekiro games. The gameplay & lore is so captivating you either can’t get enough of it or hate it.
Yup. Yupyupyup. I had always gone with Aegon’s model, which places the dreamlands spaces all UNDER Yharnam. The idea that Yharnam could be a more middlish layer makes so much sense when taking the Research Hall victims’ dialogue.
Probably my most feared place is the choires church, it's dark and honestly the dog that jumped through the window scared me just like re1 but even more
Plus the lore. The place was an orphanage run by the church, not an orphanage in name of title a literal orphanage where the church probably kidnapped children and experimented on them turning them into monsters. I live how fucked up this games story is
Hypogean Gaol is still the most haunting experience I had, but it’s also what made me love this game to the max. I was beaten by one of the Snatchers and man was I surprise to find myself in this creepy place. The enemies are intimidating af, no lamps to escape and the creepiest part was the damn music. Oh hell, the fucking music! The music made me feel so uneasy that even after I’ve beaten all the enemies I still felt it wasn‘t safe there. Then later you found out that the music was actual chants and the story behind it...what happened to the people there...man...got chills again.
@@blackvalio4060 It is technically optional, yes. But what he was implying is that the Runeshop Tool is too valuable to skip so it is also a bit mandatory if you wanna use the runes you earn.
@Dutch Plan Der Linde but it wasnt being spent, it was being stolen, additionally, there are plenty of people that WANT high insight for the various changes
@@yginop1 people don't know what Gaelic is sadly. But I didn't know it meant underground. I thought maybe it meant Forgotten Jail or something that resembles the rest of the area being that it was left behind by the Yharnamites
Can’t believe there wasn’t a mention of the Underground Corpse Pile where you fight Ludwig. The river of blood and countless corpses in that area is one thing but for me the creepiest thing in the game is that one desperate figure slowly and endlessly banging on the gate.
@@szarekhthesilentking7043 facts, i would have had to farm several times since i died so many times to ludwig. I was so thankful for the vials i named him Billy, so shoutout to my boy Billy. Hope you finally get past that gate one day.
yahargul on the mandatory visit legitimately scared me. The unborn one, corpse werewolves, corpse boxes, the lesser amygdala, and of course all the dead snatchers on the ground who original seemed oh so strong
Actually, those snatchers are dead because of the three hunters arriving, and some because of some of the monsters in the place. It isn't too crazy to think it was the three hunters as attacking by 2 is already a downgrade for them snatchers. Let alone three.
@@mdeleon9481lol I mean, that was he point, was it not? The snatchers were these super strong enemies…and now those very same guys are all dead because the new enemies are just that much stronger…
No forbidden woods? Running through with all the camo snakes and the giant snakes was the first time playing a video game that I genuinely screamed out of fear.
I was going to have some “witty” response about how “I never noticed that before” but... like... it’s so obvious I can’t even make that joke... it’s literally shadows over innsmouth.
Bloodborne was, is and will forever be my favorite game, it is really nice seeing new people join the bloodborne train and seeing people (LIKE YOU :D) still making content for it, i love it!!!
For me the scariest location has to be the Forbidden Woods. Especially the second half. The silence, then the noises from snakes, and how they can hide in so many places, then come out of no where... I could see them right in front of me, and I get shivers down my spine. Also, and interesting theory about the Fishing Hamlet is the villagers killed Kos, and because of that, her parasites infected the people. Then when Gehrman and Maria found them, they slaughtered them, believing they were infected by the beast plague. Interesting stuff.
Fun fact that makes the Forbidden Woods just a little more gross/weird: Snakes tend to tangle together and form "balls" to mate. All the writhing bundles of snakes around the Woods are just giant snake orgies.
Edge/EvieTheNeko and us Hunters come in like the massive cockblocks we are to kill them with blades, bludgeons, Fire, bolt, and any other tool of murder.
by the lore, kos already came to the shore dead, much likely due to the pregnancy of the orfan. the thing is, the scholars learned about the corpse of a old one, and started experimenting with the deceased body AND the residents of the village. thats when one theory gets out, that the blood-crazed fiends are not refering to killing a great one, but the genocide and the horrific experimentantion on the people, and then the orphan would curse them not because of his mother, but for the villagers, as the great ones are sympathetic in spirit.
@@TheGrinningGamer and it was perfect, seeing what the area have. the torn statue of the pale king, that instead of having running water, runs the void itself, your fallen brother, who is dominated by the infection in the only way they could do with vessels that dindnt had a mind: killing them, and them using their body as a specie of zombie. even the revelation that one of the soldiers made of void have the entirety of the white palace in his memory, and even there, the pale king couldn´t escape his inevitable death, as all gods of hollownest shall find themselves one day. the ancient basin really was made to be unsettling, in another way than deepnest, because of the truth it hiddens itself, and how little people did know about its place, seeing as even the old stag dont know the tunels did come so close to the abyss.
The Chalice dungeons themselves can do one as well. I remember this night during summer when it was too hot to go to bed yet, so I booted my ps4 for some midnight Bloodborne, but as to not wake my parents as the good boi I am, used headphones. And the sound design of Bloodborne is really one to easily go unnoticed. But at that moment it felt just too real to me. The footsteps on the cobbles, the echoes through the dungeons, the splashing of blood, the growling of beasts before you even see them. I recommend this to anyone who's never tried. Its bloodborne turned up to 100
Ja, ik speel altijd met mij headset op, maar ik zou niet bloodborne 's nachts spelen, ik krijg al de kriebels als ik overdag speel (hoewel ik het wel snap dat je afleiding nodig had. Tijdens de zomer slapen is bijna onmogelijk).
The place that actually scared me was yahargul everywhere else just kinda made me fell somewhat uncomfortable but yahargul genuinely scares me even now
Finally someone feels the same as me ! I used to get terrified by this location maybe the main reason its so creepy because the enemies will just respawn as new clones ! Not to mention amygdala is literaly every where in yhargul lol.. still bloodborne is the best game ever to me
Casket man are annoying af man i was farming blood stone chunk and managed to get my weapon up to plus 8 but they’re just annoying cowboy was right they can overwhelm you
Man, its really nice seeing some fresh bloodborne videos, as i just started playing the game cuz just now i got my hands on a ps4 so ur vids are really welcome, keep going bro
The proper translation to the one reborn is actually the ONES reborn, to me implying that the mashed together corpses belong to the mensis scholars or even the people that lived in yahargul
much probably the people that lived in yahargul, seeing as they were experimented on by the scholars, and the scholars tried to be more closer to the old ones, so its unlikely they would perform test on themselves.
@@clairelili873 The statues on the streets remind me of nuclear shadows. I think everyone in Yahar'Gul was gathered into the streets, and left the statues trying to escape becoming the one reborn.
I rly hoped to see Cainhurst on this list. It was my personal most creepy and scary area. Mostly because of this giant blood drinking enemy's at the beginning. But even more when I entered the Castel and get stabbed in the bag from mostly invisible screeming woman's. After that I was so focused to concantrate to see them before ther see me. That every time I get it I get so scared that my heart start beating so much. It's rly one of my favorite areas in whole bloodborne.
@@alzhanvoid maybe for the most ppl. But it creeped me out the first time. As soon as I entered the Castel the only enemies, thes slaves that are cleaning the floor, weren't attack me and for me are enemies that don't attack you the most scarry shit in soulsborne games. And as soon as I picked a few items up I noticed ther where some women with cut throats that appeared out of nowhere. I never felt like I could take a break because ther could be everywhere and nowhere.
@@davidh5956 caunhurst castle is my favourite place in bloodborne.. it's creepy and beautiful at the same time.. The indoor location itself reminds me of games of thrones and red weeding.. It's also scary cause silver ladies keep crying and some of them are beheaded.. The view from the roof top is just amazing and the castle is huge and spectacular
If you’ve never sent the Afflicted Beggar to Iosefka, you should give it a shot. All the transformed people behave differently as lil bloo guys, and his is, by far, the most interesting IMO.
It's been a while since I played this masterpiece, so I'm not entirely sure if it was the Lower Pthumeru chalice dungeon where a whole room was filled with bodies of dead pigs and with a bad case of rats infestation. Oh God, that place gave me the heebie jeebies.
I love listening to your thoughts and opinions Rusty! Not to mention hearing you talk calmly when I'm mostly used to your passive-aggressive cursing and frustrated insults was a nice change of pace. Won't lie though, once you got to talking about the Winter Lanterns (even as peripherally as you did) all I could remember was you talking about how much you utterly despised them in your other Bloodborne video, and couldn't help but giggle at the memory. Even so, this was an awesome video. A great start to the new year I'd say!
If I may put in my own opinion, I've always found Cainhurst Castle to be creepy. You board a mysterious carriage after getting the Cainhurst Summons, which takes you to this snow covered castle that looks like it belongs in Dark Souls instead, and if you turn around, the bridge is broken, and the horses pulling the carriage are nothing more than frozen corpses now. Once you make it inside the Castle itself, the crying and sobbing of women is extremely eerie, because you can't initially see them until you get too close for them to notice you. Make your way further up, and you start getting attacked by gargoyles, which puts you on edge about the other statues while making your way to Martyr Logiarus. Overall...Cainhurst Castle was that area that made me feel paranoid, in my opinion. I would've put in some lore, but I'm not too knowledgeable about it, unfortunately. Please don't hate me.
Oh yes, cainhurst is awesome. There's also the cutscene in which Logarius goes from unanimated corpse to a very animated one, which always sends shivers down my spine. If you actually beat him and just happen to know you have to equip the crown this invisible tower appears, you make your way up through a tons of creepy statues and you encounter this pretty lady with a weird mask that just seems really suspicious. Like at first I thought she was gonna pull a suspicious beggar on me and morph into a beast.
For Cainhurst, the first time, it is the scariest place ever. As it makes you think every statue will attack you. Once you go three or more times, you get used and it becomes so easy to pass on. Even not doing justice to the shitty hardest boss ahead
@@Michael-hc2vs Tbh i only felt genuninely scared at Cainhurst and at Upper Cathedral Ward. After i fully knew these places, i never again was scared of them.
"it's a little difficult finding fresh topics for a game that turns 5 years old on March" Somewhere Epicnate is laughing in the distance as he releases 10 things you didn't know about Skyrim, part 75
Sometimes I just play the audio to these videos while out doing shit. Rusty's perpetually pissed tone is so soothing. Also, I REALLY need to stop watching Rusty and Vaati right after one another.
0:43 Yooo I found an FashionBorne brother. You wear the Knight's garb and old hunter cap together too! Much respect to a fellow with such refined tastes
I use to fear the monsters that put you in their sac bag when they kill you, but now I kind of get sexually aroused when I see them walking in the circular pattern they seemed to be programmed into walking everlastingly.
OH THANK GOD DADDY RUSTY UPLOADED! I'M HAVING A HORRIBLE TIME ON OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE! I NEED SOMETHING TO MAKE ME SMILE. Attempt number 10 Rusty play Dante's Inferno
Even though I know a lot of the Bloodborne lore, whenever I replay the game I still find the Choir the worst. It's so dark, so spacious with no real marks as where to go, but you still feel so cramped and tense. I have to force myself to go there every playthrough, because I love the fight against Ebrietas but I just do not want to go through that area again and again.
Yes. The music that makes you feel paranoid for most of the time (and for good reasons actually), the brainsuckers with their terrifying slurp-slurp noises and annoying grab attacks,... but yes, foghting the giant Cthulhu lady is definitely worth it. For me, it's the best vanilla game boss, so atmospheric!
great video. just wanted to say that i find the fact that the very last area of bloodborne is the most on the nose reference to one of Lovecraft's tales, as well as a reference to his biggest fear, which was the ocean and what hides within its depths, is a very nice finishing touch from Miyazaki.
I feel like the River of Blood should be here somewhere. Seeing those corpses writhing in eternal agony, reaching out to snag you is just some spooky shit.
The fishing village sorta seems like Bloodborne took the classic "lovecraftian eldritch-worshipping hamlet" and decided to turn it on it's head. I don't play these games, but god do I love the lore and horrible mysteries.
Actually pimp cane its one of the best weapons if you know how to make a build. I made my first run with it and it works fine. And the whip node deals 20% more damage to beasts. Also has the best range.
The Upper Cathedral Ward was definitely one of the creepiest on my first playthrough. I was literally creeping around every corner because I was too afraid of what might jump out at me from the darkness. The sound design of the game is fantastic and the whole ambience of that area is spot on terrifying to me. I still don't like going there today, despite having completed the so many times.
I love the outdoors and exploring creepy haunted woods, and my favorite holiday is Halloween. This said, Hemwick charnel and Forbidden woods are my two favorite areas. Love your videos!
The reason why this game has come back into popularity is because it became free for PS Plus members in mid 2019. So a bunch of people picked it up. It's been nice for co-op
This is the chillest and most earnest I've heard your be in your videos. It's a nice change of pace from the bombast of the current ER content, but I get that style is what pays the bills these days
Hemwick Charnel Lane was really disturbing when I first get into it. Gives me Resi 4 vibes with the crazy old hags. But after the place become ground zero for my genocide echoes farming, I do not feel the same way anymore lmao.
It's 2021 and there are still new people coming into the game. It's honestly amazing to still see it thrive and grow and to see the different hunter clans irl too. You got the STR lovers, the DEX spammers, the people who love the big weapons that go boom, the blood crazed Blood Tinge players and many more welcoming new hunters to their ranks every day. I love this community.
I've always been a big boom STR enjoyer in the souls games. There was something so satisfying about swinging a house at an enemy, but as I played Bloodborne and hit those juicy viscerals. As I was splattered and soaked with blood I gave into the curse. I realized that I revel in the blood. Even the Chikage, a weapon I looked initial at in disgusting, began calling to me. I became a Bloodtinge Hunter. God bless Yharnam and her guns.
Personally, I would say the Lecture Hall is creepier than The Nightmare of Mensis, mainly because The Nightmare is overtly weird, rocks that looks like skulls, huge spiders, all spooky stuff but The Lecture Hall just looks so... normal, that is, until you walking into a room full of jars containing leftovers from The Adams Family's Christmas dinner or a lecture hall where all the students have decided that being solid matter was sooooo last season. In all, it's the normality with weirdness stitched into the seams that hits harder than just outright horror. Even so, still a great video!
Great job - I can relate to the list and even greater job putting all those shattered pieces of Bloodborne's story together - I mostly fail to do that and miss the bigger picture. For me personally feels pretty hard to come up with a specific list - all of it is scary and grotesque. I feel like Old Yharnam really did it for me and also I would add the location around Blood River in DLC - at first you start thinking about where all this blood is flowing from and then you start seeing piles of bodies. Realize that some of them are still alive and see one even knocking on the gate to get out and when you kill him you hear a terrifying and haunting scream. And of course afterwards you meet Ludwig and see him for the beast he's transformed to which feels really gloomy.
I just recently got back into bloodborne and I’ve been craving content ever since so I’m very glad that you’re still making videos about it even though the game is almost 5 years old :D
Wow, this video actually taught me some lore I didn't know or think about, like the fact that the enemies of Hemwick Charnel Lane are there to fend off trespassers to the Hemwick Castle in which lives a witch, or that Bell Ringers summon Yahar'gul's dead citizenry.
Im playing bloodborne for 2 and half years and i feel like im more hungry of bloodborne RUclips content than i was 2 years before keep the good work man you v earned new sub!
Isn't there a lovecracft story about breaking a window to meet with one of the eldritch beings? I think I heard something like that somewhere an instantly thought upper cathedral ward
A thing that adds to the creepyness of the unseen village is the ambient sounds: distant talking that sometimes sounds like whispers and other times people talking outside your house, heavy thuds, bells ringing constantly, inhuman sounds that sound like cries, a revolving sound that's like wind but not quite like it and if you listen closely you'll hear some singing (plus the sounds the enemies, wich are a lot, make), good job fs
I find the orphanage extremely more disturbing. Not because of the scourge beasts and the brainsuckers, no. Through the entire game you see empty prams, but apart from Gascoigne's there's not a single child to be found. Where did they go to? The Yharnamites obviously entrusted them to the church. They can keep there children safe, probably better than themselves could. Yet, we don't find any children in the orphanage, nor their corpses. Or do we? Where do you think they get all the blood from? It can't possibly all come from Ebrietas. That's just not enough blood for a city as large as Yharnam. How odd that we find all these enemies called celestial children in the orphanage, oddly looking like a mini-Ebrietas. See where I'm going?
Alpha Oh jeez when you add that in the Orphanage definitely doesn’t belong in #3... it should be in a spot even higher than #1 That sent CHILLZ down my spine...
@@koencagurangan3256 The church has a history with experimenting on people, just look at the research hall and imposter Iosefka. They don't have any ethical standards. It makes sense that they wouldn't mind using the children for blood, probably even creating a celestial emissary during these experiments. The vilebloods from Cainhurst may be bad, but the atrocities that both Byrgenwerth and the Healing Church have committed in an attempt to make humanity evolve to a higher plane are far worse.
Totally agree about the music in Hypogean Gaol (Yahar’Gul). I love all things soulsborne, but I clearly remember having to turn down the volume in this zone because it was creeping me out. It's a perfectly hellish composition.
The sound and art direction in this game makes it one of my favorites ever. And to think that I originally did not enjoy this game..funny how things work out like that
Well... for me, it was in the area of the DLC with all of the blood everywhere, and the one one, uh, naked person covered in it, right before you fight Ludwig.
I appreciate the video, I just got into blood borne through sekiro; I’m surprised by the content that’s still being made for such an old game; it’s all new to me so keep them coming for the blood borne newbs

Oh god don't make me align more eyes on my brain...
Every location is creepy.
And I love it.
No u
Lol
Same
The area that scared me the most was Cainhurst. Screaming ghosts made me uncomfortable as they'd scream and spray blood everywhere
For me the scariest location has to be the Forbidden Woods. Especially the second half. The silence, then the noises from snakes, and how they can hide in so many places, then come out of no where... I could see them right in front of me, and I get shivers down my spine.
Also, and interesting theory about the Fishing Hamlet is the villagers killed Kos, and because of that, her parasites infected the people. Then when Gehrman and Maria found them, they slaughtered them, believing they were infected by the beast plague. Interesting stuff.
Fun fact that makes the Forbidden Woods just a little more gross/weird: Snakes tend to tangle together and form "balls" to mate. All the writhing bundles of snakes around the Woods are just giant snake orgies.
Edge/EvieTheNeko and us Hunters come in like the massive cockblocks we are to kill them with blades, bludgeons, Fire, bolt, and any other tool of murder.
by the lore, kos already came to the shore dead, much likely due to the pregnancy of the orfan. the thing is, the scholars learned about the corpse of a old one, and started experimenting with the deceased body AND the residents of the village.
thats when one theory gets out, that the blood-crazed fiends are not refering to killing a great one, but the genocide and the horrific experimentantion on the people, and then the orphan would curse them not because of his mother, but for the villagers, as the great ones are sympathetic in spirit.
The lack of music is also what makes the Ancient Basin so unsettling in Hollow Knight.
Don't know if it counts as music, but the low wavering bass of the abyss was always erie to me.
@@fauxfawks9645 Indeed, Trevor. Indeed.
@@TheGrinningGamer and it was perfect, seeing what the area have.
the torn statue of the pale king, that instead of having running water, runs the void itself, your fallen brother, who is dominated by the infection in the only way they could do with vessels that dindnt had a mind: killing them, and them using their body as a specie of zombie. even the revelation that one of the soldiers made of void have the entirety of the white palace in his memory, and even there, the pale king couldn´t escape his inevitable death, as all gods of hollownest shall find themselves one day.
the ancient basin really was made to be unsettling, in another way than deepnest, because of the truth it hiddens itself, and how little people did know about its place, seeing as even the old stag dont know the tunels did come so close to the abyss.
There actually are illusory walls in bloodborne, but they're only in the chalice dungeons and much more difficult to find than in dark souls
The Chalice dungeons themselves can do one as well. I remember this night during summer when it was too hot to go to bed yet, so I booted my ps4 for some midnight Bloodborne, but as to not wake my parents as the good boi I am, used headphones. And the sound design of Bloodborne is really one to easily go unnoticed. But at that moment it felt just too real to me. The footsteps on the cobbles, the echoes through the dungeons, the splashing of blood, the growling of beasts before you even see them. I recommend this to anyone who's never tried. Its bloodborne turned up to 100
Ja, ik speel altijd met mij headset op, maar ik zou niet bloodborne 's nachts spelen, ik krijg al de kriebels als ik overdag speel (hoewel ik het wel snap dat je afleiding nodig had. Tijdens de zomer slapen is bijna onmogelijk).
@@smerriebak3452 what?
Beautifully true
The place that actually scared me was yahargul
everywhere else just kinda made me fell somewhat uncomfortable but yahargul genuinely scares me even now
Same, i was killed by one of these snatchers and found my self there it was soo scary 😰
Finally someone feels the same as me !
I used to get terrified by this location maybe the main reason its so creepy because the enemies will just respawn as new clones ! Not to mention amygdala is literaly every where in yhargul lol.. still bloodborne is the best game ever to me
Casket man are annoying af man i was farming blood stone chunk and managed to get my weapon up to plus 8 but they’re just annoying cowboy was right they can overwhelm you
Man, its really nice seeing some fresh bloodborne videos, as i just started playing the game cuz just now i got my hands on a ps4 so ur vids are really welcome, keep going bro
Hope you're enjoying what is probly my fave game of all time
Cherish your first playthrough young hunter.
May the good blood guide your way.
Hoont your heart out!
The proper translation to the one reborn is actually the ONES reborn, to me implying that the mashed together corpses belong to the mensis scholars or even the people that lived in yahargul
much probably the people that lived in yahargul, seeing as they were experimented on by the scholars, and the scholars tried to be more closer to the old ones, so its unlikely they would perform test on themselves.
@@clairelili873 The statues on the streets remind me of nuclear shadows. I think everyone in Yahar'Gul was gathered into the streets, and left the statues trying to escape becoming the one reborn.
I rly hoped to see Cainhurst on this list. It was my personal most creepy and scary area. Mostly because of this giant blood drinking enemy's at the beginning.
But even more when I entered the Castel and get stabbed in the bag from mostly invisible screeming woman's. After that I was so focused to concantrate to see them before ther see me. That every time I get it I get so scared that my heart start beating so much.
It's rly one of my favorite areas in whole bloodborne.
it's inspired by dracula (vampires, coach taking you to castle etc). Definitively the best place for me too.
Id say for most people Cainhurst was more very fun and different than scary. Cainhurst just doesnt have a creepy atmosphere, past maybe a few ghosts.
@@alzhanvoid maybe for the most ppl. But it creeped me out the first time. As soon as I entered the Castel the only enemies, thes slaves that are cleaning the floor, weren't attack me and for me are enemies that don't attack you the most scarry shit in soulsborne games. And as soon as I picked a few items up I noticed ther where some women with cut throats that appeared out of nowhere. I never felt like I could take a break because ther could be everywhere and nowhere.
@@davidh5956 caunhurst castle is my favourite place in bloodborne.. it's creepy and beautiful at the same time..
The indoor location itself reminds me of games of thrones and red weeding..
It's also scary cause silver ladies keep crying and some of them are beheaded..
The view from the roof top is just amazing and the castle is huge and spectacular
Wow, I never noticed the celestial had a human arm. That just makes that room far more creepy.
If you’ve never sent the Afflicted Beggar to Iosefka, you should give it a shot. All the transformed people behave differently as lil bloo guys, and his is, by far, the most interesting IMO.
It's been a while since I played this masterpiece, so I'm not entirely sure if it was the Lower Pthumeru chalice dungeon where a whole room was filled with bodies of dead pigs and with a bad case of rats infestation. Oh God, that place gave me the heebie jeebies.
I love listening to your thoughts and opinions Rusty! Not to mention hearing you talk calmly when I'm mostly used to your passive-aggressive cursing and frustrated insults was a nice change of pace. Won't lie though, once you got to talking about the Winter Lanterns (even as peripherally as you did) all I could remember was you talking about how much you utterly despised them in your other Bloodborne video, and couldn't help but giggle at the memory. Even so, this was an awesome video. A great start to the new year I'd say!
My favourite location is definitely the hypogean gaol... so atmospheric
Also, that transition from number 2 to number 1 is very well done!
Us community can't escape the nightmare. We will likely watch be BB content untill the heat death of the universe.

Starting 2020 off right!

Ew
Heh
If I may put in my own opinion, I've always found Cainhurst Castle to be creepy.
You board a mysterious carriage after getting the Cainhurst Summons, which takes you to this snow covered castle that looks like it belongs in Dark Souls instead, and if you turn around, the bridge is broken, and the horses pulling the carriage are nothing more than frozen corpses now.
Once you make it inside the Castle itself, the crying and sobbing of women is extremely eerie, because you can't initially see them until you get too close for them to notice you.
Make your way further up, and you start getting attacked by gargoyles, which puts you on edge about the other statues while making your way to Martyr Logiarus.
Overall...Cainhurst Castle was that area that made me feel paranoid, in my opinion.
I would've put in some lore, but I'm not too knowledgeable about it, unfortunately. Please don't hate me.
Oh yes, cainhurst is awesome. There's also the cutscene in which Logarius goes from unanimated corpse to a very animated one, which always sends shivers down my spine. If you actually beat him and just happen to know you have to equip the crown this invisible tower appears, you make your way up through a tons of creepy statues and you encounter this pretty lady with a weird mask that just seems really suspicious. Like at first I thought she was gonna pull a suspicious beggar on me and morph into a beast.
For Cainhurst, the first time, it is the scariest place ever. As it makes you think every statue will attack you.
Once you go three or more times, you get used and it becomes so easy to pass on. Even not doing justice to the shitty hardest boss ahead
@@mdeleon9481but that can be said for every area of the game
@@Michael-hc2vs
Tbh i only felt genuninely scared at Cainhurst and at Upper Cathedral Ward. After i fully knew these places, i never again was scared of them.

The audio in this vid is AMAZING. Stuff like that crescendo before the final entry really really made this especially enjoyable to listen to
Sometimes I just play the audio to these videos while out doing shit. Rusty's perpetually pissed tone is so soothing.
Also, I REALLY need to stop watching Rusty and Vaati right after one another.
Fishing hamlet was really creepy for me, when i came in i thought "what the hell happened here?" Until the end
It's my favourite area in Bloodborne
When I walked in I thought "I wonder what trophy can I take home today?"
It just works
0:43 Yooo I found an FashionBorne brother. You wear the Knight's garb and old hunter cap together too! Much respect to a fellow with such refined tastes
I like the Knight's garb and Cainhurst helmet, leggings and gauntlets
@@thetweefirebug it actually looks pretty sleek I just slapped it on in game.
@@thetweefirebug I usually use the old hunters cap, old hunters gloves, decorated old hunters trousers, and the knights garb
@@nobodyxiii3792 noice
@@nobodyxiii3792 Another one is the Cainhurst boots and gauntlets with Gascoine's garb and either the Cainhurst helmet or The Beak mask.
Don't worry Rusty. I came late to the party too, and these new videos make me really happy as I managed to get the platinum recently :)
I got very distressed in the Forbidden Woods because it always felt like I was lost, I found that area quite challenging to navigate.
I use to fear the monsters that put you in their sac bag when they kill you, but now I kind of get sexually aroused when I see them walking in the circular pattern they seemed to be programmed into walking everlastingly.
It’s alright. I love hearing different peoples take on souls born and souls like games :)
OH THANK GOD DADDY RUSTY UPLOADED! I'M HAVING A HORRIBLE TIME ON OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE! I NEED SOMETHING TO MAKE ME SMILE.

Bro.
BRO.
You made a damn masterpiece of a video. You grew up so much since the original video you made. I'm proud of you.
Even though I know a lot of the Bloodborne lore, whenever I replay the game I still find the Choir the worst. It's so dark, so spacious with no real marks as where to go, but you still feel so cramped and tense. I have to force myself to go there every playthrough, because I love the fight against Ebrietas but I just do not want to go through that area again and again.
Yes. The music that makes you feel paranoid for most of the time (and for good reasons actually), the brainsuckers with their terrifying slurp-slurp noises and annoying grab attacks,... but yes, foghting the giant Cthulhu lady is definitely worth it. For me, it's the best vanilla game boss, so atmospheric!
great video.
just wanted to say that i find the fact that the very last area of bloodborne is the most on the nose reference to one of Lovecraft's tales, as well as a reference to his biggest fear, which was the ocean and what hides within its depths, is a very nice finishing touch from Miyazaki.
I feel like the River of Blood should be here somewhere. Seeing those corpses writhing in eternal agony, reaching out to snag you is just some spooky shit.
Also the blood sucking spider things always creep me out. They move way faster than it looks like they should be able to
top 10 creepiest places in bloodborne. the answer?
all of them
Yharnam is pretty cozy bro :)
@@neggit2063 central yharnam is the least scariest place I’ve ever been on lol
Just picked this game back up after about 3 year, what an absolute gem
The fishing village sorta seems like Bloodborne took the classic "lovecraftian eldritch-worshipping hamlet" and decided to turn it on it's head. I don't play these games, but god do I love the lore and horrible mysteries.
That’s literally what is, it’s almost a 1 to 1 recreation of the concepts about shadow over insmouth
@@cosmiclikesminecraft Fish People, Fish People.
I'm glad that even though you don't play these games you appreciate the story and lore behind them.
Bro, play these games!
It’s interesting going back to old Rusty and seeing how tame he was before turning into the unhinged mess we see today
I'm literally two seconds away from starting a pimp run
If you haven't done it, do it. It's fun to run around with a pimp cane
Actually pimp cane its one of the best weapons if you know how to make a build. I made my first run with it and it works fine. And the whip node deals 20% more damage to beasts. Also has the best range.
The hypogean gaol is terrifying
Not my #1 but the nightmare frontier just give me this weird feeling everytime I go there, be it the mobs or the design of the place
I hate fighting those things in the poison pools. Idk how to even describe them theyre so gross.
i was playing nightmare frontier while drunk, that was one of the best experiences i've had in gaming, it looked like i was in hell
The Upper Cathedral Ward was definitely one of the creepiest on my first playthrough.
I was literally creeping around every corner because I was too afraid of what might jump out at me from the darkness.
The sound design of the game is fantastic and the whole ambience of that area is spot on terrifying to me. I still don't like going there today, despite having completed the so many times.
I love the outdoors and exploring creepy haunted woods, and my favorite holiday is Halloween. This said, Hemwick charnel and Forbidden woods are my two favorite areas. Love your videos!
Good vid but damn sometimes I forget how /Good/ Bloodborne looks
Now imagine if they updated it for PS5 with 60fps/4K

Just beat Micolash on my first play through. Your content is great man; keep it up!
The reason why this game has come back into popularity is because it became free for PS Plus members in mid 2019. So a bunch of people picked it up. It's been nice for co-op
This is the chillest and most earnest I've heard your be in your videos. It's a nice change of pace from the bombast of the current ER content, but I get that style is what pays the bills these days
This is the first time I haven’t heard Rusty Swear is lungs out every two minutes
I really dig your commentary in this video. I honestly think this is your best work
Will you do a series on the Bloodborne lore? I’d like to hear how you’d tell it.
Love the transition from 2nd to 1rst location, great use of sound and ingame camera.
Hemwick Charnel Lane was really disturbing when I first get into it. Gives me Resi 4 vibes with the crazy old hags. But after the place become ground zero for my genocide echoes farming, I do not feel the same way anymore lmao.
I always found Cainhurst to be pretty scary tbh. Thank you for the vid, it was great!

@@ShinDSER what's that :v
It's 2021 and there are still new people coming into the game. It's honestly amazing to still see it thrive and grow and to see the different hunter clans irl too. You got the STR lovers, the DEX spammers, the people who love the big weapons that go boom, the blood crazed Blood Tinge players and many more welcoming new hunters to their ranks every day. I love this community.
I've always been a big boom STR enjoyer in the souls games. There was something so satisfying about swinging a house at an enemy, but as I played Bloodborne and hit those juicy viscerals. As I was splattered and soaked with blood I gave into the curse. I realized that I revel in the blood. Even the Chikage, a weapon I looked initial at in disgusting, began calling to me. I became a Bloodtinge Hunter. God bless Yharnam and her guns.
The creepiest area in Bloodborne is.... All of them.
Nicely done list! Most of these are spoilers for me, but the lore is just so fascinating (and sad) if you look beyond those monstrosities!
His content seems to vaguely changing
ya he seems to not make as many jokes as he used too
Maybe you just got more insight recently.
@@ShinDSER FRENZY 😵
Personally, I would say the Lecture Hall is creepier than The Nightmare of Mensis, mainly because The Nightmare is overtly weird, rocks that looks like skulls, huge spiders, all spooky stuff but The Lecture Hall just looks so... normal, that is, until you walking into a room full of jars containing leftovers from The Adams Family's Christmas dinner or a lecture hall where all the students have decided that being solid matter was sooooo last season.
In all, it's the normality with weirdness stitched into the seams that hits harder than just outright horror.
Even so, still a great video!
Bro, we come here to listen to you, you’re personality is what we’re here for.
100% agreed don’t care what he talks about, his personality is just top tier
Great job - I can relate to the list and even greater job putting all those shattered pieces of Bloodborne's story together - I mostly fail to do that and miss the bigger picture. For me personally feels pretty hard to come up with a specific list - all of it is scary and grotesque. I feel like Old Yharnam really did it for me and also I would add the location around Blood River in DLC - at first you start thinking about where all this blood is flowing from and then you start seeing piles of bodies. Realize that some of them are still alive and see one even knocking on the gate to get out and when you kill him you hear a terrifying and haunting scream. And of course afterwards you meet Ludwig and see him for the beast he's transformed to which feels really gloomy.
Bloodborne has one of the best lore and for me, the lore of he game pretty much makes or breaks it (the major make or breaker is bosses)
Absolutely loved the format, the pacing, the editing, the style, and especially the content and the presenter. You've really got this content on lock
Well, time to play Bloodborne the 23rd time.
Still scared to go to the Hypogean Gaol...
I just recently got back into bloodborne and I’ve been craving content ever since so I’m very glad that you’re still making videos about it even though the game is almost 5 years old :D
Gotta watch this one with the lights on hunters.
Wow, this video actually taught me some lore I didn't know or think about, like the fact that the enemies of Hemwick Charnel Lane are there to fend off trespassers to the Hemwick Castle in which lives a witch, or that Bell Ringers summon Yahar'gul's dead citizenry.
I’m aracnophobic and it took me months to try and get through the god damn nightmare of mensis
Im playing bloodborne for 2 and half years and i feel like im more hungry of bloodborne RUclips content than i was 2 years before keep the good work man you v earned new sub!
No Cainhurst Castle... Really??
This is one of my favorite videos from you. I like that you don’t put on as much as a persona.
Isn't there a lovecracft story about breaking a window to meet with one of the eldritch beings? I think I heard something like that somewhere an instantly thought upper cathedral ward
A thing that adds to the creepyness of the unseen village is the ambient sounds: distant talking that sometimes sounds like whispers and other times people talking outside your house, heavy thuds, bells ringing constantly, inhuman sounds that sound like cries, a revolving sound that's like wind but not quite like it and if you listen closely you'll hear some singing (plus the sounds the enemies, wich are a lot, make), good job fs
At first i was extremely confused about how the Orphanage wasn’t #1, until you mentioned the last two...
I find the orphanage extremely more disturbing. Not because of the scourge beasts and the brainsuckers, no.
Through the entire game you see empty prams, but apart from Gascoigne's there's not a single child to be found. Where did they go to?
The Yharnamites obviously entrusted them to the church. They can keep there children safe, probably better than themselves could.
Yet, we don't find any children in the orphanage, nor their corpses. Or do we?
Where do you think they get all the blood from? It can't possibly all come from Ebrietas. That's just not enough blood for a city as large as Yharnam.
How odd that we find all these enemies called celestial children in the orphanage, oddly looking like a mini-Ebrietas. See where I'm going?
Alpha
Oh jeez when you add that in the Orphanage definitely doesn’t belong in #3...
it should be in a spot even higher than #1
That sent CHILLZ down my spine...
@@koencagurangan3256 The church has a history with experimenting on people, just look at the research hall and imposter Iosefka. They don't have any ethical standards.
It makes sense that they wouldn't mind using the children for blood, probably even creating a celestial emissary during these experiments.
The vilebloods from Cainhurst may be bad, but the atrocities that both Byrgenwerth and the Healing Church have committed in an attempt to make humanity evolve to a higher plane are far worse.
Totally agree about the music in Hypogean Gaol (Yahar’Gul). I love all things soulsborne, but I clearly remember having to turn down the volume in this zone because it was creeping me out. It's a perfectly hellish composition.
Number 1: Ophan of Kos’s boss arena

Such a great game. I rarely get tired of watching videos about it. Great video!
I'm still trying to figure out what everything does and how to use and do things in Bloodborne.
The sound and art direction in this game makes it one of my favorites ever. And to think that I originally did not enjoy this game..funny how things work out like that
Well... for me, it was in the area of the DLC with all of the blood everywhere, and the one one, uh, naked person covered in it, right before you fight Ludwig.
Wow dude, I've seen your old version of this vid and this one was so amazing. I actually learned lore I didnt know watching this.
