This video is an appreciation for Bloodborne as much as it is a lore video! I had so much fun making this, and I hope you enjoy it.
(Hopefully the PS4 quality is bearable, the old girl did her best recording these videos)

Bloodborne is one of my absolute favourite video games and I really loved this video. Your analysis was spot on and felt like a love letter to Bloodborne and its immersive world. Thank you for making this <3

I personally really love Oeden Chapel, it's so eerily beautiful!

Congratulations on having the most bizarre YouTube channel I have EVER seen. It's a 12 year old channel with 332 subscribers, 3 random shorts, a Dua Lipa music video? And this one really well made video about a building in Bloodborne with 17k views on it. What?

If you look at the rune for guidance, it describes Ludwig's guidance as the "light behind his eyes". Phosphenes.

New dedicated Bloodborne content is always welcome. You earned yourself a sub fellow hunter.

As someone who finished Bloodborne a couple of weeks ago and loved it, i’m in my ‘searching lore videos everywhere’ phase haha, and this one’s a great video!!! Thank you!!

This video is easily close in quality to Vaati or any other souls YouTuber for that matter. Keep em coming man

@blackfrost9011 2 years ago

The level of quality of this video is insane. I was shocked when I saw how new you are to making videos like this. Excited to see what you do next bro

@angelkennethtolentino8261 2 years ago

You only have 90+ subscribers? This is a 100k subs levels of quality video! I look forward to your channel taking off. 💪

2:15 small correction, the prayer character came to yahrnam to seek paleblood, not the healing blood. the note in the clinic where you wake up is actually written in the players own handwriting, according to the original japanese.
this is one of those important lore details that is lost in translation.

@TheVojvoda 8 months ago

There actually is mention of a governing body in Yharnam. The queen of Castle Cainhurst. The church declared her and the noble caste as heretics and enemies after giving them healing blood. The church basically held a coup against the royals.

This is the most beautiful 3d model I've ever seen!! I want to live inside it! You have to print it.

I would do a huge 1/100 print and paint it and display it as a centerpiece in my apartment lmao

This one makes me very proud — Canberran here and it’s always awesome to hear an Aussie explorer of Bloodborne’s world. Channel has a great atmosphere, will definitely grow and find its people. Be well and keep it up mate

I freaking love Bloodborne and lore videos

@Dabombster342 2 years ago (edited)

felt like you were teasing a an upcoming video talking about the alternate ending related to the moon presence at the end there, can't wait for it :)
I feel like there's a lot you could get into, as well as other specifics in the game!
