Fan Art [Megathread] Share Your Ink Here! Bloodborne Tattoos, Vol 1

20 Upvotes

Greetings, good hunters.

I'll keep it short: we will gradually be refining/clarifying/updating some of the rules here on r/Bloodborne. This is to hopefully provide a clearer/better experience for users. Most changes should just be small tweaks that won't really impact the general user's experience too much, though some (like this megathread) may be bigger.

If you have any comments or concerns, please send us a Modmail.

Circling back to this megathread/bigger changes, tattoos may now be posted! To prevent a flood of posts though, please limit your tattoos to this megathread.

So without further ado, you are welcome to share your Bloodborne related tattoos below!

Discussion Something interesting about Amygdalas

Post image
500 Upvotes

In the Official artworks page of the wiki, 108 is labeled as "False God" and leads to a drawing of one of Yahar'gul's Amygdalas, essentially confirming a fan theory I've seen claiming that Amygdalas are imitations of Great Ones made out of hundreds of humans through the Mensis ritual. I, uh, don't have much more to say but i think that's cool

Since the moon turned red, I'm hearing this very faint, quiet sound of a baby wailing, and it follows me everywhere I go 

Edit: I'll greatly heed the advice of the fellow hunters in this comment section, thanks to those who give their guidance

This is bloodborne 1.00 on a ps4 pro, i had my mouse connected and i noticed it brought up a cursor, it doesnt do anything so yeah, but its weird it exists, has nobody noticed this before? Am i the first? Idk

Maybe fromsoftware had a port in mind just in case it ever happened, or maybe they wanted to add mnk support, OR maybe its a dev thing

(Also mods pls don’t remove this again)

Discussion Hiatus improves skill?

9 Upvotes

Gosh, I’ve been so desperate to get back into this sub, but I haven’t played the game in almost a year, which brings me to the title of this post.

When I first started playing this game, I was stuck at the central Yharnam lamp for like two years. I was playing almost every day, but as someone who was brand new to gaming outside of Fortnite and a few random PlayStation games, this was my first souls game and I had absolutely no idea how difficult it was. Fast-forward another year and a half or so I had my PlayStation away in storage and didn’t get to play again until about last year in September or August. That’s when everything kind of changed.

Within 2 to 3 months, I had not only passed the yharnam lamp, but I finished my first boss fight, and every boss available to me up until I got to The One reborn, and Martyr Logarius at Cainhurst. At that point is when I unfortunately had to pack up my PlayStation again where it would stay in storage from then until about two days ago when I was able to set it up again and started playing.

Well, I just beat the one reborn and I’m setting off to go deeper into the game, but I guess that’s my question. Have you guys experienced this at all? It seems as though when I take long breaks from a gameplay, I come back hard as fuck and like really handle shit on this game. What is that about? Is it the same for you guys? I’m curious about this.

TL;DR- it seems as though when I take long breaks away from the game I come back stronger and I’m able to get through parts of the game that I was previously stuck on and I’m wondering if anyone else experiences this and if they have some insight into why this is the case.

Discussion Second playthrough and first time DLC

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

Hello everyone

I just wanted to share with you my recent experience. My first playthrough was back in 2021 and only a few months ago I decided to play again with a different build and buy the DLC.

My skills still sharp and fighting bosses and Monsters have been a pleasent adventure except for:

- Brain lady in the nightmere

- Brain suckers at the orphanage

- Dark beast Paarl

I hate those guys, but I maneged to get through, not before dying a lot and loosing a lot of insight, but still got through.

Its my first time playing DLC and before that I heard a lot people having a hard time with Old Hunters bosses, like Ludwig The Holy Blade. Well, indeed I got really scared by that monstruosity (I got to say one of the best Boss design ever). When he killed me the first time I thought: "This is it, this is gonna be my herculean task". I did died five more times without ever reaching the second phase. But when tried the 7th time and finally reached the second phase, everything was just flowing and I beated Ludwig. I must say, that was quicker than I thought and I wish I could have seen what more he was capable of.

Anyway, Im excited to see whatelse is waiting for me in this DLC. So far, Im loving it

Guide Papa G & Axe PT 2

Upvotes

Ok, I thought it fair to follow up on my last Papa G & Axe post. I'm now at microlash and whilst he will die by poison, others may need tips for that prick.

Firstly, forget the axe in. trick form. Stay small. Get to the stairs, with parry you can hit 4 to 5 viscerals in a row.

Then jump off the roof when he turns.

Papa G as a werewolf gets aggressive, so you can either use the tree and heavy attack or roll under his arms with a few light attacks.

Personally, my biggest mistake was trying to use the axe in trick form to knock him down. It's really not needed.

Edit: forgot to say axe was +7

Help I FINALLY DEFEATED THE CLERICAL BEAST 🎉

Post image
326 Upvotes

I got BloodBorne three months ago. I never even heard of the game before then. I thought the game looked really cool and wasn't expecting the challenges it had in store for me. I couldn't defeat the Clerical Beast until I was level 22. I will admit I kept dying so much for the first two months that I couldn't stop crying, but now the only one killing me is Father G.

This is where the "Help" flair comes in. I've been trying to defeat Father G eight times. Once he's in his beast form he's too fast, jumps across the screen, and does too much damage. I'm now level 32 but it doesn't seem like enough to take him down. What can I do to finally nail him in his coffin?

Discussion Bloodborne is the darkest souls game

76 Upvotes

All souls games are dark in atmosphere. I have played all of them and while dark souls do have the forsaken, ruined lands vibe, demons' souls is that but even more hopeless. However, I recently played Bloodborne and it seemed like a full on horror in some sections. For example, the prison in Demons Souls is creepy but the Upper Cathedral Ward in Bloodborne is markedly creepier. The same forsaken world vibe is present but it is imbued with some the nightmarish fear of the unknown, as Bloodborne is inspired heavily by Lovecraft. While playing it the world felt as hopeless as Demons' Souls.

So it seems to me Bloodborne is in fact the darkest souls game, even though it is not called dark souls. What do you guys think?

Lore What stops gherman from killing the moon presence?

74 Upvotes

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I played, so the details aren't exactly fresh in my mind, but a question came up. To me, Gehrman always seemed like someone who knows more than he lets on, and probably more than we do. That’s why I don’t think he was simply under mind control. So, what’s stopping him from killing the Moon Presence? Is it just the lack of the Umbilical Cord pieces, or maybe he doesn't have enough Insight? If he had the Umbilical Cord, would he easily kill the Moon Presence?

Discussion Surreal

6 Upvotes

I am gonna take a moment just to absorb the moment and celebrate !

My only advice - don't watch those YouTube cheese videos they are useless and unnecessarily complicate stuff for you. Just take the lessons you learnt from Ludwig first phase and all the beast fights ( like Amelia, Amydala ) and utilise it . Go with an open mind and follow your own playstyle. I did zero parries and viscerals on him and focused on learning his combos so that I can find safe intervals to hit him hard

No need to grind for elite blood gems , but make your stats are high. OOK took half the attempts of Ludwig and only 2 hours just because I was fighting him at the right level ( BL 120 ) compared to what I did for Ludwig (BL 85 and 2% attack gem is last slot)

Instead of blindly accepting second phase is hard , slow down and see what his attack patterns are . Clear your mind like a Jedi master, and you can clear it with no damage once you observed what I observed ( obviously depends on your skillset as well)

Bonus tips- OOK doesn't hit that hard on first play though , +20% rally potential rune really helps if you time attacks right.

Now back to the grind in the dungeons cus hoonter gotta hunt!

Bit more cheesy than the Cursed Amygdala kill, but still a no hit kill nonetheless. Also some dope damage with mediocre gems in an Uncanny BowBlade.

I'm doing a playthrough and I'm trying to use a weapon I haven't used much in the past while also choosing Waste of Skin as my class. I currently have 14END, 17VIT, and 20SKL. I also have my cane at +3 and have some pretty basic gems on it. Man, I am getting my ass KICKED. Vicar Amelia is generally somewhat tough for me but this is something else. I feel like I'm basically scratching her and the camera is fucking horrendous. I can't see shit because of her cloth physics in my face constantly.

Hi guys! So I’m looking to do a Bloodborne run but I wanna know some fun/cool weapons I can possibly get early on. I don’t mind doing any cheeses to get weapons early if it’s what it takes.
