[@whitefanful]

this is such an interesting way to frame the lore it is rare to see videos covering everything is order like this rather than several videos on each a different topic.

[@CSM100MK2]

untrue...lots of the lore videos go in order of, you know, lore.

[@teapuck2530]

@@CSM100MK2 i actually agree with them tbh, bloodborne is usually segmented not in order or from what i have seen/remember. probably because it usually gets confusing to not backtrack

[@canadian_american84]

Hey. Hey. How you doin'? Let us remember that we're here for the love of lore and storytelling. Big thanks goes out to Justin Bregg (www.twitch.tv/justinbregg ) for acting as the Bloodborne Guide Guy. Another thanks goes to Viryl (www.twitch.tv/viryl_tv ) for helping capture Chalice Dungeon footage. More to come! -Tip

[@RD1R]

Thank you a ton! I found you randomly while trying to decide whether to buy HZD a few years late. You really nail storytelling, and you recognize the good stuff! And you have now covered the single best lore/story/gameplay combo ever released. Imo the deep yet deliberate implications of Bloodborne lore are greater than Dark Souls or Elden Ring, it's a small slice of a larger story and setting that are cosmic in scale. They had to write so much unseen supporting lore just to have continuity for 2 random items or characters. So thank u for doing the best game ever. (I may be a bit biased) A hoonter is never alone.

[@deadfisher0000]

It's funny, I played the game, didn't get anything, watched one lore video. Apparently I'm now an expert, because I found myself wanting to "correct" you for any differences in interpretation. Silly of me, obviously. Thanks for the video!

[@nathanielhollas8471]

9:27 "They called it Kos..." Micolash in the distance: "or some say Kosm!"

[@PhillKaggitz]

There are some bits that I don’t agree with your interpretation but that’s the beauty of these games, everyone has their one story. But I really enjoyed your interpretation of the lore!

[@TiptoeTheTank]

Thank you! I deeply appreciate the acceptance of this comment. Hail yourself!

[@aquelesousa]

"everyone has their one story" Only in the english descriptions, that is unnecessarily vague and in Dark Souls 1 they straight up tell you another story. Japanese descriptions are half literal and direct, half perspectives of people related to those descriptions and it's never something related to the "whole of the story", and rather their take. But i will die on a hill before i see someone searching for the japanese texts. So yeah. "INTERPRETATIONS", i guess.

[@chibicthulhu4382]

Bloodborne holds a special place in my heart. When I was 16-17 my brother and I spent at least half of the summer playing through it. That was a great summer.

[@kiannedee31]

IT'S FINALLY OUT AHHHHH!!!! Definitely worth the wait! You set up the back story so so well! Although, one thing I would disagree was Ludwig calling for the execution of the Vilebloods. I would say it's mostly the higher echelon of the Healing Church (sans Laurence) who ordered it and Logarius and his men were more than happy to carry it out. Regardless, I'm liking your take on it so far. Can't wait for the next part!

[@Viryl_TV]

My first experience with Bloodborne was jumping straight into these Chalice Dungeons for the footage. It was rough, but fun to learn. Amazing video as always 👏

[@impactrc6427]

You found a subbed for life!! I work on the road 50-60 hours of week so I listen to a lot of podcasts and channels like yours! Can’t wait to binge all your content

[@centurioknuddel505]

To quote a tragic Sith Lord: "I was looking forward to this." :D The time of Soulsborne Lore is nigh! Bloodborne, such an amazing Lovecraftian game, I love the vague lore^^

[@johnsilverman656]

To be fair, I doubt the Pthumerians lived underground... it’s just all that’s left of their civilization are the dungeons deep underground (this isn’t an “um actually” because it’s totally up for interpretation, just wanted to show engagement... this is a great video!)

[@dalekslayer14]

I really enjoy this. The manner and cadence of the narration makes me think of a scholar, in the remnants of a crumbling library, regaling the tale of their research to the traveller who has stumbled across them. Very fitting for Bloodborne. Fantastic work!

[@lulufare1724]

Love how you tell the story, you got me hooked on bloodborne lore

[@Mutebuttons]

I love well crafted video game lore. Your channel is exceptional at telling the story of video games in a way that completely eclipses attempts by other creators. I appreciate your approach and that you avoid the pitfall of simply creating an “Explained”-type lore video like so many others. This is my new favorite channel and I’ve been binge watching. Kudos to you.

[@FourthRateDuelist]

I’ve rewatched this video easily 10+ times. Awesome framework and love the style. Totally looking forward to part 2!😎

[@zacharyhawley1693]

Kudos I enjoy how so many people have so many differing perspectives on this much beloved game.

[@set9034]

I gotta say I love your style on these videos after binge-watching all the way to this one while grinding out content in other games. The change of the tone and mood in how you retell the lore and narratives of these games based on whether they play out more as horror stories or children's tales (lowkey felt like I was six again during the Ori video) is all truly a nice touch in presentation.

[@nightmarecrazy23]

Cosmic horror has always had a special place in my heart, and a game like this just inspire me build upon it.

[@justinorbit902]

I'm glad this is your next project. I'm not super interested in playing Bloodborne myself, but I'm happy to hear about the lore and weird storytelling that it contains!

[@mitrabaskar2359]

I love hearing you talk about lore. Have you ever considered doing audiobooks?

[@AlleyFang]

Here's to you, algorythm gods, makes this channel more recommanded!

[@mondayadams8166]

The best game possibly ever? Gods i love this game so much ive basically never been able to put it down. Its basically the best survival horror game ever made

[@Theguyoverthere603]

Aaah I'm so excited for this series. Bloodborne probably has my favorite Fromsoft story/lore

[@solomonpider8196]

goshdarnit I wanted to put these videos on in the background and do other stuff but I keep getting sucked in and just listening and watching the video instead. Good stuff.

[@Ashamanknight]

Sweet Jebus... I was left utterly confused by this complete bonkers story.

[@jaredbowman7764]

It seems... that you need more eyes... on the inside

[@doctorae724]

The Eldrich Truth: The fact that there are beings who exist on higher planes directly layered on what we humans think of as reality. Such planes can only be accessed through higher brain frequencies (such as dreams).

[@justinbregg]

Amazing work as always Tiptoe! Great video!

That was fantastic, Tiptoe. can't wait for the next one!

[@vegaskullkid4503]

Ayy, it’s Bloodborne lore or as I like to call it the lore of the incredibly depressing eldritch abomination infested game. Great vid tip and can’t wait to see more

AAAAH, Tiptoe. You come at the perfect time. I need something to listen to as I walk to school. How reliable.

[@mattyspoons777]

Yes!! Thanks TipToe. Absolutely love your work. I always look forward to and enjoying listening to your content. Thanks again!

[@fmaaru571]

Rom was out here doing a solo run against all of the Great Ones and didn’t even get a “thank you” smh that’s tragic

[@TiptoeTheTank]

^^^This is the true lore of Bloodborne

[@jaredbowman7764]

Quite the contrary. The player character, in their ignorance, tears Rom a new one and unleashes the nightmare upon the waking world finishing what the School of Mensis started.

[@MrAngerissues1]

Great video! Thanks!

[@javedshhhh]

This is one of the best and most comprehensive, focused and entertaining bloodborne lore videos I have ever seen. Really well done! 👏🏽 waiting for the next one!

[@Vicstier]

I usually never comment on videos or channels but this hands down one of my favorite channels. The inflection in your voice is comforting and helps me sleep at night. Thanks for all you do ladies!

[@Kiranthia]

Yoooooo! I've been so excited of this! Bloodborne is my favourate game! Thank you TipToe

[@joshcastro8526]

Man, this makes me want to go back and give it another playthrough. Great video as always, Miss Tank 👌

[@Buddy-pq2vz]

Just discovered your content and this is amazing in so many different ways, and thank you for explaining things the way you do makes it much easier to understand the stories and lore. Please keep it up this is awesome stuff you’re doing !!

[@ReaperGrimm5594]

If my understanding is right, "The Eldritch Truth" is just "Space Squids are a thing."

I love your content...I'm definitely going to be binge listening to it

[@captainlovebug]

I love this! Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time. With Lies of P coming out I have been CRAVING new Bloodborne content. So happy I stumbled upon this Eldrich Truth! Bravo!

[@henry7001]

I'd like to point out to all those interested in Bloodborne lore, I suggest checking out Redgrave's The Paleblood Hunt he really does not get enough credit for his work.

[@kyddkreature9801]

But.... Does he have the liquid gold voice that Tip does??

[@MidnightatMidian]

lol the Paleblood Hunt is the most knowned and overated lore post since the hunt began on Reddit. Can relate, I was there.

I've been watching different bloodborne and darksouls lore vids (outside of playing the games) for a long time, but this is the first lore video I've watched that actually made everything click and make sense inside my head. I feel like I finally understand everything lol 🙌 the storytelling-style this channel uses is suprisingly helpful at breaking things down for my adhd brain while still being entertaining and relaxing to listen to. Absolutely love this channel ❤️

[@truthache8560]

Not only do you write a great script but you are a Phenomenal storyteller. I started with you on SOMA and will stay as long as you’re here. Thank you for all the hard work TipToe! Fear the Old Blood

[@kylehogan2247]

Please do a storytelling of the Legacy of Kain. I feel like you would genuinely enjoy the story there is to offer, as it is on a Shakespearian level, and the series is underrated and fading from knowledge

You'll be happy to hear the Blood Omen/Legacy of Kain series is on the list 👌
