Can I Beat Bloodborne With Only The Rosmarinus?

Can you beat Bloodborne using only the Rosmarinus? Which is the arcane damage mist spraying counterpart to the flamesprayer. And the pure arcane damage that it shares with hunter's tools and the Kos parasite tentacle, makes for a very situational damage type.

You're the best! Thanks for the early Christmas present. Now we have something to watch while we wrap presents.

That KZbin icon looks really good on your wall

The medical parallels were fascinating, where did you learn about those things?

underrated channel 11/10 content least I can do is stay subbed and drop likes Also happy new year press I hope it will be better than the previous one

[@PressContinue]

I actually didn't even plan on doing this run. I was experimenting with save wizard to see which items can be turned into items from other categories. The rosmarinus was kind of a random choice, but then it suddenly turned into an actual playthrough... so here we are.

[@TheVeiledMonarch]

Just got to playing DS3 and I’m having what seems to be a stress response. Going to the Ringed City through the painted world

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

Is it smoke-k if I ask a question? I'd hate to mist this chance... or should I just fog off? But can you stop being so funny and cute?! 😂😊☺😋

[@Ludwig7231]

So not even you originally wanted the smoke? Or maybe your brain was just foggy at the time?

[@LitchGaming]

The most brirish way to complete the game: Victorian suit and teapot 🫖, sir 🤣

[@user-hx8hi1rz5w]

Haven’t you already done this run?

[@ImKingRs]

I actually work at the hospital in Glasgow (Scotland) where Joseph Lister worked for many years. Although the listerizer was unsuccessful lister really was the father of modern surgical infection prevention and a bit of a legend in the field

[@hombreg1]

Wonder if listerine is named after him.

[@davidpotts7116]

The weapon's name is the Latin translation for rosemary, being formed of the words "Ros" meaning "dew" and "Marinus" meaning "of the sea," so the question of how to pronounce it is exactly like how you think it would be - "ros - marinus." It really does fit even more with the ocean theme of the Cthulian mythos, as well as the fact rosemary was once believed to be a psychostimulant, thought of as a way to help people remember things that were long forgotten. Rosemary was also once believed to be able to purify disease, being hung above doorways during the black plague to fend off sickness as well as being part of the herb mixture that doctors would wear in their billed masks, so the in-game description takes quite the literal interpretation from historical superstition. A fun fact, if you look on the belt of the Choir set you will actually see a small plant with white flowers attached to it. That's actually what rosemary looks like in real life.

[@juanausensi499]

It's also a culinary herb, in Spain at least. Good for rice dishes, rabbit & hunt.

[@Bluecho4]

@@juanausensi499 It's as the bards say: "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme".

@@PressContinue I had to make a clean break to focus on IRL stuff, but the videos are still floating around on some other channels and the Internet Archive. I only reactivated my account recently so I could comment on videos from time to time. Thanks for keeping the medical metaphor alive! :)

Something about treating every enemy in the game like a misbehaving cat by spraying water on them is really funny to me

Fuck, it never occured to me that Rosmarinus is a Lister's sprayer reference. Even though I've read about that device. BB is a gift that keeps on giving. Truly sublime game.

[@darianclark3980]

Another Amazing Unexpected Video! Definitely a good watch so i wouldn't mist any of your humor, which i needed in this cloudy day. Mmm, if you ever do another Bloodborne vid or mainly a livestream, you should do the "Shotgun Only Run" 1 Simple Rule: Use Only Blunderbuss, Ludwig's Rifle, and the Rifle Spear(Gun Only). Its actually really fun, challenging, and Amurican!

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

the rosmarinus is one of those weapons where, when I encountered a hunter in the nightmare mensis that used it as their sidearm it did absolutely shitloads of damage to me but, I could never replicate those same levels of damage whenever I used it even though I had the stats and upgrade materials that should have in theory made it great. so whenever I see a challenge run with one of these weapons I am always very curious to learn what it was I did (or didn't) miss or did not have to really get the most out of it and, in that regard, this video did not disappoint. p.s. I have always gone out of my way not to hit the chapel dweller & I gotta say hearing his dialogue when you sprayed him was just... so incredibly sad. I love that guy, he his a beacon of hope and humanity even though he knows both the night and the hunt are long and hearing him plead for his life honestly hurt.

[@mertgurcan2112]

Nice, a new bloodborne video! I just started getting into this game 2 months ago and I’m glad people still create content for it!

[@Karanagi]

Ah yes, the weapon everyone mist out on! Just spray and pray.

[@Oakeybloke]

Quality video, great editing and amazing puns - passing Gas-coigne is a keeper 🤣 Your skills in this game are amazing, the timing of the dodging looked on point when not getting greedy. I think an all boss no hit run is doable 👌🏼

[@86fifty]

Heyyy, the silver plaque on the wall in your CG background! 101k subs, congrats dude! You're so creative with these run ideas, and ALL the puns! Well deserved! :)

[@lobstrosity7163]

Thanks for the history lesson, Press-Chan! And Merry Christmas.

[@thekaz5225]

Merry Christmas Press. This video was like an early present to me. I don't know if it's because I hadn't had a chance to watch your runs in a while but by the time you got to the line "Spray Spray Spray Witches Go Away" I was laughing so hard I had to pause the video to catch my breath and give my stomach a break XD I was actually hoping you would do this run for a while too btw, and by the misty spray it took my breath away. Happy Holidays and much love my dude.

[@fede1101.]

Bloodborne runs are so fun to see, they always feel so MISTical

[@Rattlehead62]

[@FarsLegendary]

Good to the all the references to the An Agony of Effort series in this video! That series of Bloodborne analysis does deserve more recognition

[@user-ho8cu7ix6p]

This video felt like a fever dream and I love it! Came back to home town for holidays just to catch a fever and be completely delirious for a whole day and finishing it off with this video. Felt like I entered a purgatory or something.

[@symphoricquoz3763]

The brief explanations of relevant historical medical practices alongside the usual recital of the word "puke" multiple times is a very nice addition. Nice work as usual, *and* more!
