That was one rude mansquito at 09:42. Edit: Actually, the sun really reminds me of a... particular type of eye disfigurement? Damned if I can remember what it is called, though. Samovar fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Oct 24, 2016 |

Samovar posted:That was one rude mansquito at 09:42. This is entirely intentional, as the key item for entering the DLC is the Eye of a Blood Drunk Hunter. In which the pupil has collapsed and turned to mush, a sign of the onset of the Scourge of Beasts. Make what you will of the fact that the DLC sun looks like such a pupil. Also on the note of the gender of the Great Ones. Ebreitas is the daughter of the Cosmos. The Wet Nurse is pretty obviously female by name, except in my opinion there's something very weird going on with the Wet Nurse, which is that it's not a real Great One, it's a manifestation made by Mergo (Nightmare Newborn) based on the Shadows of Yharnam as protection. Rom is never gendered in game but I think was called female by one of the developers. Amygdala is called Lord by Patches, which suggests masculinity but might just be him going on about his god. The Emissary and friends I'm pretty sure are the members of the Choir, or experiments on children and as such likely contain both men and women. Oedon who is described in a few runes is said to be male, but exists only in voice and maybe blood. I think Mergo is also suggested to be male. So whilst there's a nearly even split so far in regards to lore you've fought all of the definitely female Great Ones and none of the definitely male ones.

Having played through the game again just recently, I can confirm that Patches refers to Amygdala as "he". Amygdala in general is kind of the odd one out in terms of Great Ones. There's a lot of his kind roaming the world as opposed any other Great One you encounter (outside of Chalice Dungeons) and, as you mentioned, he's pretty much the only male one you fight. He's an interesting exception to the rule in a lot of ways.

I've always liked the theory that the Amygdala is one consciousness over a very large number of bodies, and the one you fight is the Prime body so to speak. It's interesting that unlike Mergo's Wet Nurse and thus Mergo he doesn't give a Nightmare Slain message, possibly because you haven't actually slain the Amygdala, merely removed a hand or leg.

So I actually agree about the Horse thing, I think Ludwig would ride his horse around and intentionally give off the image of a proper holy knight instead of a shady Hunter like Gehrman, who would be his predecessor in leading the Hunters of Yharnam. But of course in a hunt a Horse is as likely to be harmed as a human, and being a good owner Ludwig would treat it with the Healing Blood as he would himself, and when they turned they turned together fusing into one being. Ludwig's original human head is the Silver-beast looking growth growing out his neck, and that's why they have 8 limbs and 2 heads and such, because their were originally 2 creatures into one. This is also why the personality transformation happens, Ludwig remained inside his head and the Horse took control for the most time, but when you hit him hard enough which mind is in control swaps. I'm a little sad you didn't get the other bit of dialogue from the campy guy, as he talks about how Ludwig died a true hero, with his ideals intact and that he earned that much at least. Which is interesting because he did indeed die a true hero, as himself defending the secrets of his masters and thus for a certain value of hero he died as such.

Tbh, it's mostly 'cause I just assumed that always happened. Like I've said in one of these DLC videos, I've only played through the DLC once, and the first time through I answered him the opposite way (which caused Simon to show up and shove an arrow in his eye).

I think Simon always does it just based on if you warp in and out enough times, but I'm not sure and you definitely have to have been to the top of the elevator to get it to occur I'm pretty sure.

It's interesting, the design of Ludwig; his 'human' head is essentially a mockery of the Bergymwerth scholar's original goals - he has only eyes on the inside of his head, but is most certainly NOT enlightened. Kinda... a cruel irony, as it were.

Bloodborne is truly just about escaping the 90s. The Hunt is ultimately a giant metaphor for radical skateboarding. The newborn child you must silence is 90s Kid. EDIT: I noticed you left plip plop party popper alive. Are you going to get the brain fluids?

(Up to Video 14): Aaaagh poo poo I literally never put the "borne" -> "born" -> 'themes of birth and literal babies' connection together before now.  Also you guys are a pretty great LP team. Hope you keep making videos together! Edit: Did you/anyone in the thread ever spell out what happened to the little girl you sent to safety for the co-commentators? Edit 2: Happened right after I wrote that. x2

Bloodborne really is the most anime thing. I always wondered why people mocked Maria on some forums but man after seeing that she's a 2kat weilding fire dracula with infinity blood range. That's so hilariously cringy.

I can't believe Kevin brutally killed Mama Bleaksol in cold blood. Disappointing for Yharnam's Ultimate Good Good Boy. Maria is one of my favourite bosses in the whole Soulsborne collection. It's so frantic and fun to play through, especially the first time when you see her bag of tricks for the first time. That moment of "hey what is she OH poo poo BLOOD MAGIC DEATH SWORDS" is such a rush. Also incredibly frustrating since she won't ever let you back off and heal past that point, but still so satisfying to bring her down at last.

Funnily enough her weapon, the Rakuyo, is one of the most powerful weapons for a Skill user and it can really wreck bosses very quickly. I think only the Chikage can match it in power, which makes sense as they are sister weapons.

Ha, I completely forgot I suggested that song for the death montage. Glad to know you actually went with it. I've been ramming my head against Laurence in NG+ lately and hoo boy, he's even worse with his inflated health pool. May have to try that ranged strategy next time I decide I want to get mad at video games again.

So, I have a few questions now that we're here. - I've seen a lot of mini videos of people showing off with broccoli-mode. What exactly is the advantage of fighting with your vegetables? Also, you gonna show it off? -For the lightning line spell, does it hit multiple times or just once? It almost looks like if you used it closer it would've done more hits. Also, is lightning cheaper than eyeball, cause it felt like the former was doing double the damage.
