Hi, this series is awesome! Your DS1 Video actually inspired me to do a Boss lore ranking video with elden ring... I can't match your quality, and the idea is originally yours, yet I don't always agree with your pics, so I believe that my list would be very different from yours and that I would not merely be copying. If I gave a shoutout to you at the beginning, abd mentionned that it is originally your idea, would you be fine with me doing this? I am not sure if I will make one talking about the bosses and the mini-bosses, or two separate Videos.
Well yes, but you have to remember you can only fight the Moon Presence by becoming a Great One yourself, I'm unsure of what the consumption of the Cords really does, or what the consumption even is for that matter, do you just eat it? Anyway, clearly the Cords give you some incredible power or knowledge.
Really cool video! One quick note - you mention that Gehrman is the only known Hunter who successfully uses the material known as siderite. But Eileen the Crow wields the Blades of Mercy, which according to their description were also forged with siderite. ""A special trick weapon passed down among hunters of hunters. One of the oldest weapons of the workshop. Splits into two when activated. The weapon's warped blades are forged with siderite, a rare mineral of the heavens. Most effective swift attacks,such as after a quick-stepping."
It doesn't say she made it though. It's said to be one of the oldest weapons, and she just so happens to use it, and it's said to be passed down, so it's implied she never made it
@Keebrev not even kidding. I was so mad the first time I spent all that time chasing him down just to have him one shot me because I went in completely blind for my first run
@@denifromdiscordyeah but realistically, Micolash has intentionally transferred his conciousness to a higher plane than the hunter's nightmare, while Ludwig is sadly wasting away in the latter.
Hey I would like to address an oversight you had for the bloodletting beast. There is a significant amount of evidence pointing to the bloodletting beast to being Laurence in the overworld. 1. As you said Laurence the first vicar is a reflection of him, not actually him. This is clear as Laurence’s skull in the cathedral is an ape skull, which would be consistent with types of beasts like bloodletting beast and abhorrent beast, along with many of the villagers in the town. Laurence the first vicar has a hound skull. 2. As I said the skull of Laurence is ape like just like bloodletting beast, but it also has a split in the skull on one side which matches the scar on the bloodletting beast. Later in the chalice dungeon the bloodletting beast is missing its head which would make sense for the head of Laurence being inside the cathedral. 3. The chalice dungeons reflect times past. This is clear because you can find rom not dead, queen yharnam still pregnant, etc.
@@SomeOrdinaryViewer yes maria is in the dirt of the real hunters dream, ludwig is the madman npc from the chalice dungeons that use his base game weapons, orphan was already dead in the real world (or so it is theorized, as it is believed kos was well dead when the scholars arrived, the inhabitants having already been making us of her corpse, which makes the sin of the hunters the act of killing the orphan)
@@aidanbates3379 I'm not sure if Ludwig himself is the Chalice Dungeons Madman, but you're correct that pretty much every Nightmare version of a character, is a projection, and not the character themselves
I got on the soulsborne train pretty late,with bloodborne being my favorite. I’m so glad the community is still making new works on it so many years later ❤
2:17:20 quick little fix. It’s not that you need 3 pieces of an umbilical Cord. The item itself is “one third”. So after consuming 3… you already possess 1 FULL umbilical cord. The fact there are 4 pieces in the world is just the developers being Gugachads and not forcing the players down a singular path to get this ending (dealing with Fake-sefka and/or saving the lady of the night.
The "One Third" part is actually a mistranslation from the original Japanese, with the UK version calling it by its more accurate title of Third Umbilical Cord. I don't know why the "One Third" part was added, but they are supposed to be full cords, with the third aspect being in addition to the usual umbilical cord of birth.
@joshuareesor1756 Spot on. Third umbilical cord is what it should be called but the US localization kinda goofed it. That’s also why they are all separate cords from different beings(Mergo, Orphan of Kos, Arianne’s baby, and a past vileblood child) and the item picture has a whole cord visible.
Bro since i found your channel i had a tab with your account open to have a second line of securety if the notifications dont work. I'm so hyped right now it's bloodborne. But i think i will only watch 30 min before i go to sleep because such a video can't be wasted on a sleepy me I am sure it's gonna be great surely a rewatchable masterpiece such as your other works.
I think Maria is stronger than Gehrman because she has blood magic that she never uses, only using it against the player, so any quote who mentions her power would be doing so without considering her blood magic
I would also change Mergo and Kos, Mergo is definitely not a great one and Amygdala is probably a very weak great one considering the fact that there are many of them in-game, while the orphan is a unique great one
@@LuccadeMourathe wetnurse is a great one , we know from the trophy and olso because he is tring to take mergo , and obteining a baby is the goal of all the great one’s . She is olso the one who made the pact with Mensis.
In a fair battle maybe, but when fighting the player gherman is granted power by the moon itself. Also a lot of maria's tecnichques are thought directly by gherman such as the superspeed, which doesn't necessarily tells us that gherman is stronger than maria because the student can sometimes be stronger than the teacher, but still it does tell us that the first hunter was a force of nature by itself, regardless of the moon power.
I have over 750 total pt hours in Bloodborne, it is my go to game to relax. I even watched this video while playing and I have to say great work my dude even though it’s long I enjoyed the video!
Rankings such as these are subjective, but this is probably the best video of the internet to learn about the lore of every boss and its relation to other bosses and the games story itself, which is the main reason i watched it. Excellent work.
Almost lethargic watching these videos i feel like an old man sitting on my lawn watching the cars drive by but begrudgingly nodding in agreement all the lore videos and channels over the years and still i learn something new on blood borne thank you now get off my lawn
No clue how I didn't know about this channel until very recently. This is quickly becoming one of my favourite channels, not even just souls channels. Dude knows his shit and is putting creative twists on great formats and you can tell he's doing it with tons of passion. Really fun and I learned things when I thought I had heard all there was to hear about bloodborne. Literally considering adding a lil shoutout to this dude in the game I'm developing because he's helping me work on it 10 times longer with this playing in the background lol. I expect him to be in the millions of subs by then though!
Unfortunately a lot of things that he is saing are wrong because he based his speculation on the englisch traslation , and he is making somthing up for this reason
Looking forward to whatever video npc's,enemys or the sekiro ranking i don't really care as long as you keep up this insane quality thx made my day. And this is a video i will definetly rewatch so thank you for hours of free entertainment that helps one threw the days.
Great list! I did not expect ebrietas to be 2nd, but your explanation about her being the only great one other than the moon present to be fully present makes alot of sense
I just discover this videos right now and I know they will be gold! I'm pretty sure they are a really awesome job. Really cool dude! I'll edit this when I finish the four videos.
Great video! Though I'm a bit surprised that, after connecting the Pthumerian's power with their affinity for fire, Maria's power over fire never got a connection. Since the Vilebloods seem to be revitalizing Pthumerian power through the forbidden blood, the fact that Maria can harness the lost art of fire magic in her battle showcases how she has reached their level of superhuman ability. She's even minding the slumbering Orphan of Kos so that he is not disturbed, like the Keepers of the Old Lords before her, truly reaching the companionship towards the Great Ones that had long since been lost.
I disagree with some choices here, as well as some lore reasonings. For example, while it's true that Ebrietas is a real, proper Great One, her not being able to ascend to a higher plane should put her below Orphan and Amygdala, even if you accept that they're just manifestatons of the proper Great One per se (which, at least in the case of OoK I disagree. In japanese, "Orphan of Kos" not only means that, but it's a game of words with "Willpower of Kos", as it's basically the son carrying the will of his mother, basically being father and son at the same time, another example of christianism being an inspiration for BB). Even if you buy the theory that Orphan is just a manifestation of Kos real essence and power (which you shouldn't because then the "nightmare slain" text wouldn't appear), it would still be an amazing feature that just the mere manifestation of Kos' infant was enough to generate a new plane of existance that directly interferes with the waking world and basically serves as Hell for the hunters and the Church. Also, Ebrietas is not the origin of the old blood. The holy medium Alfred refers to is Laurence's skull. It's a way of saying that Laurence was the pioneer of blood ministration in Byrgenwerth and Yharnam. Ebrietas was discovered by the Choir, which chronologically comes after the Church's already created and Laurence dies. Also, Rom probably isnt a Byrgernwerth schollar. Her appeareance in Pthumeru and her Altar of Despair corpse seem to imply she was a kin in the dungeons, and was later found by Willem, who used her as a vessel for his ritual (and maybe that's when her real body died, and that's why Ebrietas, being her mother or something, mourns her?). Still, awesome vid as always. Keep the hard work, this is an amazing series.
This list is amazing, you made sure to pay respects to each boss regardless of if they were minor or major and avoided flat out saying “they are not as strong as the others on this list.” Also appreciated you holding back from explaining the whole story with certain bosses closely affiliated with each other as to make the impact these bosses had on the story more notable later on in the video. You can definitely see the effort that went into making this video, not just from the 2 hour run time, but the careful specifics of your rankings Bravo sir, bravo. You have earned my sub.
Bro after the dark soul 1 and 3 ranking I start sharing for bloodborne version everywhere that to find absolutely no result then after few weeks this video pop out in my recommendation thank you for making it ❤❤
The Kos Parasite description states that the carcass of Kos washed ashore, so she seemed to already be dead from something else. Plus, for all the grievances the Hamlet Fishers place on the hunters, they never say that they killed Kos, only that she is dead. Most likely the sin was massacring the village, desecrating them and Kos' corpse, and stealing her baby for experimentation.
"It's clear, even during our boss battle with Yharnam, her pregnancy is doing more to debilitate her than enhance her fighting prowess." Wow, you're telling me that being pregnant isn't a good position to fight? Shocking.
I’m so glad you’re doing this man. Keep up the great work and I get wait for the Elden ring to come out especially cause I always se people debate who is the strongest!
Love this video. For me, BSB has been the hardest enemy, so far, took me somewhere around 15-17 tries. I haven't completed the basegame (bout to fight the one reborn) & I know the DLC is gonna be harder but at least I'll be able to get the best weapons in there. I somehow beat the Shadows of Yarnham first try & with only taking a few hits & am still wondering how cuz that is just not me lol. I usually need a couple tries for bosses. Edit - these videos make me wanna do a playthrough with the ax. I really appreciate the distance it puts between you & the enemy.
I'm sure somebody has pointed this out to you so I apologize if this is redundant. But the bloodletting beast is Lawrence. Well his physical body at least in the waking world.
1:47:08 not true Eileen's weapon the Blades of mercy are also forged with siderite and have been passed down from the hunter of hunter's before her meaning that every hunter of hunter's since the first has used a weapon forged with siderite.
I love the range of strength between these enemies. Lol It goes from actual lowlives and degenerates to literal gods and horrors beyond mortal comprehension.
The old blood is the one found in the in the chalise , the pterumian tomb , the bload that is used by the Church is taken by the decapitated head of Ludvig . The plage of old Yharnam was generated by the read moon approach , and the asched blood was generated probably by the ingection of bone marrow powder
You put the Celestial Emissary above Yharnam and the Pthumerian Elder and the Abhorrent beast? Nah, no way. Certainly, they have some cool abilities but they just don't stack up in terms of raw power. Obviously we're not going by in-game strength, but these things are notably weak and swarming, rather than powerful and singular. Maybe they have the potential to get stronger, but they are not at the point we fight them. I can see Rom being up there despite physical weakness as she displays incredible arcane power, both offensively and in terms of "holding back the moon", but the Emissary is just a living radar dish.
Moon Presence is in a weird spot for me. Because imo it has the strongest powers we’ve seen, but ALSO is a weak little coward that never really had to fight. Like it mind controls, grants immortality, has a pocket dimension and can basically do an undodgeable borderline instakill. But at the same time it over exerts itself and it’s attacks are all just wildly flailing. It’s even got like half the health of Gerhman. Kinda telling that it always relies on its ‘puppet’ to hunt for it.
You’re completely right, I think. But if we’re thinking about raw power, I think the moon presence wins. Yeah, it’s a coward and can’t fight physically. However, it can control people mentally, unless the hunter has consumed 3 umbilical cords. Why fight physically when you can ensnare your enemies solely through your will?
Great video! Some constructive criticism though -could you showcase more weapons? The axe R2 attack gets stale after 30 minutes. - try getting different footage and words when referring to a boss. By the time i reached the shadows, i'd seen all the footage multiple times. That being said this is a very enjoyable video and i picked up a thing or three of the bloodborne lore. Keep up the good work
i had this on in the background and the number of times i heard "pthumarians are superhuman in design and their physiology..." i swear i was suffering from major deja vu
I always figured both versions of the Bloodletting Beast are the same creature. You kill it once, but then it shows up later with the parasite controlling its corpse. It's sort of a first draft of the Guardian Ape from Sekiro
The Blades of Mercy are also forged from Siderite. So Eileen would also be counted among hunters to use the material. Along with any other Hunter of Hunters that had used it before her.
In general, I agree with this. But towards the end, I feel like you got some stuff confused. Ebrietas was the Great One that was left behind. She was too weak to ascend with the rest of the Great Ones, such as Mergo's Wetnurse, Amygdala, the Moon Prescence. She is weaker than all three of those in my opinion, because she couldn't ascend and was stuck being weaker. Even with the other Great One bosses just being aspects of themselves, they are still much more powerful than her. The only true Great One I agree is weaker than her is the Orphan of Kos, as he is a baby with no real power yet.
Id put maria over any human bosses because all she achieved in her life was without the vile blood. We are told she refused to even acknowledge her legacy of blood and fought purely using skill all her life. She managed to kill a great one while holding back
Bloodborne lore is so much better than elden ring or sekiro. The alien aspects are juxtaposed with a gritty reality that highlights both. It makes it so much more tangible but also more awe inspiring at the same time
Hey all! Peep the descriptions for the timestamps! Appreciate you all, always!
Next we want Sekiro
what game re you doing next?

One of the Best soulsborne youtubers up there with vatty and candle type 1a
"It's clear, even during our boss battle with Yharnam, her pregnancy is doing more to debilitate her than enhance her fighting prowess."
Wow, you're telling me that being pregnant isn't a good position to fight? Shocking.
cant wait to binge watch all of these
I’m so glad you’re doing this man. Keep up the great work and I get wait for the Elden ring to come out especially cause I always se people debate who is the strongest!
Please keep doing this for all the souls games ❤
Excellent video, as always. Don't know how I feel about some random elderly pthumerian being ranked above legendary beings like Laurence.
Love this video. For me, BSB has been the hardest enemy, so far, took me somewhere around 15-17 tries. I haven't completed the basegame (bout to fight the one reborn) & I know the DLC is gonna be harder but at least I'll be able to get the best weapons in there. I somehow beat the Shadows of Yarnham first try & with only taking a few hits & am still wondering how cuz that is just not me lol. I usually need a couple tries for bosses.
Edit - these videos make me wanna do a playthrough with the ax. I really appreciate the distance it puts between you & the enemy.
Awesome video man.
I'm sure somebody has pointed this out to you so I apologize if this is redundant. But the bloodletting beast is Lawrence. Well his physical body at least in the waking world.
Tremendous video. Really really good.
Ever since the other one I’ve been looking all over RUclips for this😂
Oh mate cracking video yet again absolutely love this channel well done mate
i died to the watchdog of the old lords more than ANY other boss in this game there’s no way they’re THAT low
Same for me ,but for blood starved beast instead.
Git gud
The ranking isnt based on the gameplay, only the lore, thats why the watchdog is low
Amazing and well done video! Subbed
I might be wrong, but the witches of hemwick were the first ones not underground to uncover the secrets of insight.
Over the course of 3 days, I have watched all of the boss rank videos. Please do Sekiro next🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
1:47:08 not true Eileen's weapon the Blades of mercy are also forged with siderite and have been passed down from the hunter of hunter's before her meaning that every hunter of hunter's since the first has used a weapon forged with siderite.
After a shitty day, seeing this will make me feel some happiness
Genuinely my pleasure!
A truly amazing video.. keep up yhe good work! Now I need to lose many hours watching the dark souls ones
GRANT US EYES
Great video man. Although i dont agree with few of them, great explanation and depth. Subbed
Orphan is a merge of Gehrman with the fetus he slayed. This is his punishment. This is where he goes when he sleeps. That's why he should be higher.
Yes this is gonna be a great video 🎉🎉
I love the range of strength between these enemies. Lol
It goes from actual lowlives and degenerates to literal gods and horrors beyond mortal comprehension.
YIPPIE These are amazing
Oh thank God I actually got a noti for this video 🙏
The old blood is the one found in the in the chalise , the pterumian tomb , the bload that is used by the Church is taken by the decapitated head of Ludvig . The plage of old Yharnam was generated by the read moon approach , and the asched blood was generated probably by the ingection of bone marrow powder
Bestiary cooking once again. Cant wait for the elden ring ranking will probably be a 6 hour video
You put the Celestial Emissary above Yharnam and the Pthumerian Elder and the Abhorrent beast?
Nah, no way.
Certainly, they have some cool abilities but they just don't stack up in terms of raw power. Obviously we're not going by in-game strength, but these things are notably weak and swarming, rather than powerful and singular. Maybe they have the potential to get stronger, but they are not at the point we fight them.
I can see Rom being up there despite physical weakness as she displays incredible arcane power, both offensively and in terms of "holding back the moon", but the Emissary is just a living radar dish.
Moon Presence is in a weird spot for me. Because imo it has the strongest powers we’ve seen, but ALSO is a weak little coward that never really had to fight.
Like it mind controls, grants immortality, has a pocket dimension and can basically do an undodgeable borderline instakill.
But at the same time it over exerts itself and it’s attacks are all just wildly flailing. It’s even got like half the health of Gerhman. Kinda telling that it always relies on its ‘puppet’ to hunt for it.
You’re completely right, I think. But if we’re thinking about raw power, I think the moon presence wins. Yeah, it’s a coward and can’t fight physically. However, it can control people mentally, unless the hunter has consumed 3 umbilical cords. Why fight physically when you can ensnare your enemies solely through your will?
Its for gameplay reasons hes weak. You fight him right after gherman.
Great video!
Some constructive criticism though
-could you showcase more weapons? The axe R2 attack gets stale after 30 minutes.
- try getting different footage and words when referring to a boss. By the time i reached the shadows, i'd seen all the footage multiple times.
That being said this is a very enjoyable video and i picked up a thing or three of the bloodborne lore.
Keep up the good work
Dude just wanna spin to win and relax a little
I actually learned some new things in this video. I don't remember the last time that happened with Bloodborne.
i had this on in the background and the number of times i heard "pthumarians are superhuman in design and their physiology..." i swear i was suffering from major deja vu
Our eyes are blood of nightmare
Amazing video
Great video!
I'd like to point out that watchdogs of the old lords are literally hot dogs.
HWLL YEAHH love these videos
Would you considering doing Soulslike games? The Surge and Lies of P come to mind.
I always figured both versions of the Bloodletting Beast are the same creature. You kill it once, but then it shows up later with the parasite controlling its corpse. It's sort of a first draft of the Guardian Ape from Sekiro
Fantastic my dude
The Blades of Mercy are also forged from Siderite. So Eileen would also be counted among hunters to use the material. Along with any other Hunter of Hunters that had used it before her.
Oh he is back!
At last. The hunt begins once more…
At last, the hunt beings and starts once more for the third time again next time.
In general, I agree with this. But towards the end, I feel like you got some stuff confused. Ebrietas was the Great One that was left behind. She was too weak to ascend with the rest of the Great Ones, such as Mergo's Wetnurse, Amygdala, the Moon Prescence. She is weaker than all three of those in my opinion, because she couldn't ascend and was stuck being weaker. Even with the other Great One bosses just being aspects of themselves, they are still much more powerful than her. The only true Great One I agree is weaker than her is the Orphan of Kos, as he is a baby with no real power yet.
True the moon presence is the only real deal great one we actually fight in the game. And even he is just trying to kill other great ones.
Id put maria over any human bosses because all she achieved in her life was without the vile blood. We are told she refused to even acknowledge her legacy of blood and fought purely using skill all her life. She managed to kill a great one while holding back
Bloodborne lore is so much better than elden ring or sekiro. The alien aspects are juxtaposed with a gritty reality that highlights both. It makes it so much more tangible but also more awe inspiring at the same time
