Discussion Why are they afraid of me ?

1.0k Upvotes

If I remember correctly I don’t think I’ve seen this reaction at any point before the DLC. I’ve never experienced such an encounter in any game I played except Ghost of Tsushima but I mean your enemies watch you decapitate someone in-front of their eyes no wonder they cower in fear.

Genuinely though is there any lore connection to why they react like that during the DLC, I get that the hunter is meant to be feared canonically and is an absolute menace. What’s funny is they had every right to be afraid I felt no remorse whatsoever, dare I say I felt satisfaction. I was even thinking of more creative ways to kill them and assure them their instincts to fear me were in the right place …… IM NOT A PSYCHOPATH… I have felt empathy towards characters in other games before, its just idk this game really digs into you with the satisfaction of violence it made me truly embody the sadistic spirit of the hunter, I even stopped using weapons based on how strong they are and just go for the most violent weapons out their. My favorite pick is the beautiful Whirligig Saw.

So does anyone have an explanation for this encounter? Im genuinely curious about the lore behind this.

Hey folks. I'm gonna fight moon presence soon. I've been trying to get some of the unique loot and bosses in the chalice dungeons. What dungeons are essential to the Bloodborne experience? Which ones have the coolest, most unique bosses?

Also what Dex/arcane weapons should I get? I have the uncanny burial blade, blades of mercy, and the holy swords.

Probably not going to get into chalices in ng+ so I have to take care of it now.

He immediately chose to do "waste of skin" bc it sounded funny, his gaming experience pertains of Stardew, Skyrim and Genshin Impact (same tho) he has no idea what his in for, I tried to warn him... I tried 😔

I'm so excited for this tho, hes playing it because he knows I love it but wouldn't let me tell him any lore, he knows it plays like a souls game but has never ever experienced a souls game ever so doesn't really grasp what that means, everyone wish him luck lmao

La comencé maomenos el mes pasado, hace poco termine de ensamblarla, solo tengo que hacer todas las flores, a alguien se le ocurre como hacerlas más rápido?? Por día puedo hacer 20 de esas, y ya voy como unas 60 o 70, más las 10 que tengo que armar. El palillo del medio lo voy a quitar cuando la termine porque me da miedo que se vaya cayendo

Discussion Damm... These guys are very horifying. I thought they just had a tentacle beard but no those are the tentacles of the Parasite inside their heads, wich btw looks very simular to what our character can turn into in one of the endings.

Question Any Other Way to Defeat Blood-Starved Beast?

10 Upvotes

I am currently playing through Bloodborne for the first time, and having it be my first Souls like, and am having a blast. I am not too good right now and currently facing the Blood-Starved Beast. I know about the strategy with the blood cocktails and fire paper, but I failed to do that and ran out of cocktails and fire paper. I do not have enough insight anymore to buy more and am wondering what other strategies there are for the boss. I heard that Beast Blood pellets are okay for the boss, but would also like to know if it is better to skip for now and come back later?

I record my sessions so I have receipts.

30:00 “I need to get more blood vials”

32:47 “I’m gonna have to go get some blood vials”

34:52 “oh shit, I meant to go get blood vials, I forgot”

36:54 “why am I fighting her? I knew I was going to go get blood vials”

42:40 “I came here to get blood vials and now I’m spending them all just to try to beat this guy”

44:46 Central Yharnam farming run. Got 12. Took two minutes.

Also, in real life, I’ve been on my way out to meet people for about a year.

Screenshot Bloodborne Bug Kos Parasite

Post image
• Upvotes

I accidentally triggered a bug—as you can see in the screenshot, I have a transformed weapon equipped while at the same time hold a pistol. My moveset is that of the transformed Kos Parasite, yet when I press L2, I fire the pistol.

I’m trying to figure out how this happened. As far as I remember, I loaded my save file with this all already equipped and swung at nothing in the Hunter's Dream. The only unusual detail I remember is running past a rock and swinging at the air, which caused the attack animation to cancel in a strange way.

After that, I entered the Lower Loran Chalice Dungeon. When I pressed L1 to switch the weapon's mode, the animation wasn't the one for the Kos Parasite; instead, it played the "empty-handed" animation—yet the weapon remained in its transformed state, and I was still holding the pistol.

If anyone knows what happened, I’d appreciate the insight.

First attempt ended in about 5 seconds 💀

On my second attempt, I realized I had to use the big tombstone as cover. Going blow for blow with all three at once was just too much, especially with my transformed Hunter’s Axe.

Third attempt, I played it super defensively. Get behind the tombstone, land a few hits, run around the arena, loop back to the stone and repeat. Just kept doing that until I was down to the fire throwing guy.

Honestly fighting him 1v1, even with the snakes was pretty manageable compared to dealing with all three at once.

Anyone beat these guys with a more aggressive playstyle(without summoning)? Curious how you approached the fight because I basically turned it into a game of cat and mouse 😂

41 Upvotes

Yes, I know it is a horror game, but that isn’t what I’m talking about. Like I can’t bring myself to make it to Hemwick Charnel Lane after Amelia and if I got this far what is stopping me from progressing? I think it might be Rom because I’m a big Arachnophobe but spider enemies haven’t stopped me before because I beat Black Myth Wukong and several spider bosses are required. I don’t know what’s up and I don’t know if this is the place to ask or not

Oh my goodness, im randomly reminiscing on my bloodborne phase and even NOW I can say it’s still my number 1 favorite video game of all time!

It was my intro to the soulsborne series and I had a damn fun time with it. I literally remember only playing it because I was too broke for Elden ring at the time! It is such an amazing game. Combat, vibes and atmosphere, the sudden shift from beast and wolves to alien like entities. Oh my GOODNESS it’s so good.

I remember getting the platinum trophy and was so proud of being apart of the 6.2 something percentage of players that got it(number might be higher now idk)

But yeah, I haven’t played or even thought about this game in literal years, yet the game still puts a giant smile on my face! I LOVE YOU BLOODBORNE!

Help Vermin problem

3 Upvotes

Hello fellow hunters! I started playing bloodborne a week ago and want to do as many quests as possible. I am currently stuck at Valtr's quest. I need one more vermin which I can obtain after defeating Laurence with Valtr summoned. The problem is I can't keep Valtr allive until I kill the boss. I got pretty close but his final phase is so chaotic he just dies from the fire AoE. Can someone help me obtain the final vermin with co-op or PvP? I just want to get it done and finish the entire game. Im on Playstation btw.

Discussion Inconvenient storyline.

• Upvotes

If you want to complete Valtr's questline, do not do it in one play through. Summoning him with Ludwig isn't that difficult because ludwig's pretty easy boss. But he makes lawrence absolutely unenjoyable. Not only are you forced to fight the nightmare executioner because even if you pass him Valtr is going to target him the second you spawn him. it makes lawrence's health bar jump up so much even on a fresh game cycle. Just collect up to the five verming through two playthroughs. It is far easier and much more convenient. As much as I like doing everything I can in one play through, it's not worth the unenjoyment. Especially for such a horrible hunters tool that is worthless compared to literally every other hunter tool in the game

Discussion Dark Beast Paarl is kinda OP

21 Upvotes

Despite defeating Darkbeast Paarl on my first attempt, I honestly don't think I could do it again if I replayed the game.

The fight was going pretty well at first. I was getting underneath him and landing charged, sweeping attacks with the hunter axe. But then came the final phase. I just couldn't get close to him anymore because his electricity kept frying me whenever I tried to get around him or get underneath him. I had to use almost all my Blood Vials just to stay in the fight.

Eventually, I caught a lucky break when he got near a wall and managed to land a few final blows to finish him off.

Honestly, I think his final phase is a bit overpowered. The constant electricity makes it so difficult to get close to him and it felt like I barely had any openings to attack. He's definitely the toughest boss I've faced so far.
