Bloodborne's Story ► Explained!

During my first playthrough, all I was told was "A hoonter must hoont." And so hoont I did, I just hoonted everyone and everything in the game without a single clue on what's actually going on.

bloodborne endings: live a normal life eldritch slave worm

I just love how it starts as a Van Helsing like setting, killing werewolves and other traditional beasts, then it takes a hard turn into Eldritch horror. I love this stuff man. I just wish I was better at the game. I would love a sequel.

Hearing Gherman cry out to his friends to be freed from his dream like that hit me hard, its very frightening to think about being inprisoned and trapped somewhere with no hope of getting out. Great game though.

You know the game‘s hella eccentric when the good ending is you turning into a space squid

I feel like this "higher state of consciousness" that everyone is lusting for, is just like a private chatroom where the old ones just sorta talk

Lawrence: Hey Willem can I get some Old blood Willem: Only a spoonful Lawrence: pulls out comically oversized spoon

I just realized that Laurence rejects Willem's warning and doubles down on his research. But the MC (if you take reach the childhood beginning ending), saves Gehrman by freeing him from his dream and his puppet master. That's poetic. This mess started because a teacher was forsaken. This mess ends because a teacher was saved.

I clicked on the video with curiosity I left with a masters degree in literature

Moral of the story: Never make a blood pact with someone you don’t know, or else you may become infected with all kinda of diseases

Vaati: Makes a 30 minute lore video based on his own research Me: *heals with blood vial* Ah, yes... Blood healing

Reject humanity. Return to SQWID.

Hunter, look out behind you, there’s an Amygdala. Oh my Great Ones, he has AirPods, oh my Great Ones

Bloodborne’s lore in 2 words “Goddammit Laurence!”

I think the path to become an Old One is actually a mix of insight and blood. Insight to see the things hidden from our eyes and the blood to give us the strength to ascend. But if you delve too deep into one or the other then you become a monstrosity or a drooling "madman". I love the theory that the Moon Presence is a predator of Old Ones, casting its hunters out into the dream like a net looking for prey and as you yourself grow stronger, so does the Moon Presence. But with you consuming the 3 umbilical cords, you become something more. It gives you a chance to take the Moon Presence's place as an Old One yourself. Fulfilling a destiny meant only for a few.

After five years of playing this game over and over, delving into the lore and studying it like a bible, and even claiming it as my favourite game, I finally realise... The game is called Bloodborne because that's how the disease is spread: "It's gone airborne/waterborne/BLOODborne." I'm an idiot.

Thanks for the free insight.

The fact that I am still finding out both minor and major things about this one stand-alone game from 2015 is a testament to its quality.
