In some areas of the game like inside building you can see dust particles and stuff floating around for atmosphere or something. But if you swing your weapon in these areas the particles will drift it the direction of your attack. 7 years and I just noticed this small bit insane detail.
I remember being able to see the unseen village from above, somewhere in yarnahm? does anyone know where you can see it from
I normally dont care about trophy’s but i really love bloodborne, so i made myself get platinum cuz i wanted to see everything the game has to offer. I’m proud of myself! ( i have a picture but it doesnt let me post it )
Fear the old blood ! 🩸
For me it had to be the research hall. The medical equipment, crazed patients, the height, and the depressing blobs you get the brain fluid from, all created the most chilling atmosphere in my opinion.
I’m heading into the end section of the game and wondering is there any better weapons to pick up over the saw cleaver?
I am losing my mind over this Chalice Dungeon Boss. Like all I’m trying to do is get the Queen Trophy so I can get the plantinum but I just somehow cannot get past that boss…
I have my saw cleaver on +10 and Blades of Mercy at +9 and my stats are pretty high so it’s truly a skill issue but like… how on earth… 💀
So if anyone got any help on how to beat that boss, I appreciate it!
I'm trying to get the blades of mercy and looked up eeilens quest line and saw that because I hadn't talked to her she should be hostile in grand cathedral but she hasn't appeared I've beaten gherman but haven't beaten moon presence and am just starting the dlc
What is the most effective strategy you've used in being successful at this game, beyond learning the timing? Curious what strats are used. Using L1 has helped me a lot
I think I'm near the end of Old Hunters but I can't beat Laurence. I already beaten The Orphan of Kos and it was easy but Laurence is giving too many problems since I can't do more than 3 parry against him before ending the ammos. Can someone log in and help me beat him?
Anyone available to help with Micolash? This fight ruins the game for me.
I've beaten Rom and now I wonder how much of the game is left? If it matters I've done the first possible chalice dungeon and two layers of another one.
It's sad I can't play Bloodborne because it gives me nausea, headaches and dizziness. It's because blurry background and flickering.
I am currently in Nightmare of Menisis and it is my first playthrough for most of the game the axe helped Mr but I am starting to shit towards the holy blade with a bolt gem on it so the point being which weopn is better to use the blood rock on to make it +10 NY of both or any other suggestion for a weapon to use for a strength build
The help is appreciated Thank You Hunter

I am 3/4 through my NG+ in my attempt to platinum the game, but it has come to my attention that the only way to get this weapon is on a NG+ after fighting Gherman in the last game cycle. Although I did this, I savescummed to get both default ending achievements on a single run, and entered NG+ via the one where you accept his offer. So, my question is, if I want to get the achievement that requires you to obtain all trick weapons, would the Uncanny/Lost versions work for the achievement as well? Thanks
Can anyone please tell me, what the fuck do all the stats on my character mean? Its explained so badly, its pretty much useless.
How do i parry and can i parry all enemies? I know you have to shoot them, but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
How can i get better weapons? So far im at the point where this guy is shooting me with some kind of auto-gun-cannon, from the top building and the only weapons ive come across, were the ones you can buy at spawn.
Is side stepping the only way to dodge when locked on to enemies? I played dark souls before and you roll in that game and it was much better than in bloodborne.
Any other tips would be appreciated and please NO SPOILERS!
Bloodborne Theory: artorias was kidnapped by patches who proceeded to hand him to Seluvis’s personal use.
Artorias was revived using mods then kidnapped by patches who was paid by seluvis. Seluvis got artorias sedated body and turned artorias into a puppet somehow. Seluvis proceeded to lick he armored artorias puppet and bite parts of it. Seluvis would get tired if using it after 2 days and had it stored in a secret room he had in eochaid.
Theory: nerijus and the ds3 hag proceeded to kick the gehrman who varre called maidenless while repeatedly stabbing the doll with a knife made from armoured core parts.
With the help of mohg who was paid by someone, nerijus, DS3 hag and varre enter hunter dream. Also varre bought some armoured core parts from patches which varre used to make a knife dealing blood damage. Gehrman is questioning his life choices when he is jumped by the ds3 hag and nerijus who kick him. Gehrman realises patches disabled his movement so gehrman is helpless as he is jumped. Varre grabs the doll and repeatedly stabs her with the knife and calls gehrman maidenless. After doing this for 3h Mohg shows up and sends everyone back saying, that someone paid him to go this for only 3h. Mohg does not enable gehrman movement again so he is just lies flat on the ground. Patches undoes Gehrmans lack of movement and quickly leaves.
Theory: ghiza was paid to use an armoured core to slice sulyvahn who had somehow turned micolash into a plastic bag
Sulyvahn had somehow travelled to the hunters nightmare and used mods to turn micolash into a plastic bag which sulyvahn proceeded to crush. Per patches suggestion, ghiza was paid by tanith who rykard pressured to slice sulyvahn using an armoed core patches got. Patches had ghiza enter the hunters nightmare where The armored core ghiza piloted immediately crashed. Ghiza tired to slice sulyvahn who was preparing to leave but sulyvahn killed him. Ghiza teleported at the nearest save point where patcehs was waiting. Patches saw a nearby plastic bag and used mods to turn it back to micolash, who had been presen the entire fight, just appearing to be a plastic bag. Ghiza and patches exited the place and returned to volcano manor.
I started playing bloodborne about 3 weeks ago and it’s going along well, and Ive been enjoying the game. One thing that was confusing me is that I didn’t get why people talked about the guns so much because they did absolutely nothing damage wise. Then after clearing what I would guess to be about 1/2 of the game I find out they are basically only used as a parry. How the hell did I manage to get this far without realizing or finding that out. Is there anything else obvious that I need to know?
I'm not exactly knowledgeable on the lore, I only know bits and pieces from my two total playthroughs, so I'm wondering if there's any in game explanation for how a Hunter is able to gain insight through using Madman's Knowledge. The description states "Skull of a madman touched by the wisdom of the Great Ones. Use to gain insight" so that makes me think it's the same process as when you touch Laurence's skull after Vicar Amelia. But why is the Hunter able to see these things when touching a skull? Is it a result of the blood of Yharnam and everyone can do that? Is it just a similar vague magic like the hunters dream? I'm sure there isn't a concrete answer but just wanted to check with those who might actually know.
Could anyone help with the moonlight horseyman please? Code is PBJ666
Do you continue to play or have you dropped the game?
I completed the DLC and got my plat back in June, but I haven't stopped playing. Besides going to Dark Souls on PC in between, Bloodborne is the only game I've continued to play on my PlayStation. I loved trophy hunting, and Bloodborne was my 48th. Since I've attained the platinum though, I still can't put this game down. Usually after getting the last trophy for a game, it's uninstalled immediately and I move on to the next. I enjoy the game so much that I try different challenges. Currently, I'm trying my first playthrough with a bloodtinge build and going through the chalice dungeons to get the Lost Chikage and I'm still finding a lot of enjoyment out of my experience. I was wondering what are the thoughts and feelings of others who got their platinum. Sorry in advance if formatting is bad, I'm posting on mobile.
