I'm back. This video was meant as a replacement to my original Arcane "Only" video, as that atrocity had way too many flaws to even be called a tutorial. I've hidden the video, as I'm not too proud of it (or the fact that it's my best performing video to date). If you still want to watch it, you can do so from this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqWcaH2XaN6Soa8 Also to the people who'll accuse me of stealing challenge run ideas from ymfah's latest video and community post, I started making the script for this video about 2 weeks after the BL4 Threaded Cane video. I don't wish to steal views or audience from him, I'm just doing tutorials for stuff that I wish had them. PS. Lady Maria's phase 3 doesn't have DS2 hitboxes, it was just a joke.

[@KEYBLADE4BUY2]

Thanks for not deleting the original! Also I imagine the majority of us don't think you're "stealing" from ymfah friend

[@Pihsrosnec]

Just a question, why go for the uncanny saw spear instead of the uncanny ludwigs?

[@spiffyboi834]

I love the hellsing OST! I hope this channel finds success

[@TheDaxter11]

You made a good first impression on me with using Alucard's theme from Hellsing Ultimate at the start. This video's pretty good, and if there's more Bloodborne content to come I'm definitely gonna sub.

[@derigel9783]

Its not from Ultimate.

[@connergalles7106]

Lol it's from the original hellsing

[@barbarabenedict3971]

Just sub man. Like the vid too. Costs nothing. Will help the guy 💐

[@zzodysseuszz]

That’s the theme song intro for the original hellsing

[@DarksteelHeart]

The funny part is you can farm that first root chalice a little bit if you're at between 30 and 40 arcane. Spells can 1 or 2 tap everything but the Snatchers or Big enemies and all the little mobs in that dungeon are worth like 15k echoes a pop. Just a fun tip from a Mage main

[@MrMannerless]

Bloodborne. A true masterpiece barely realized by the vast majority of players who have the platinum, myself included. Players like this are special, for the get to taste the true ways of the game, indulge in its every moment and whim and ultimately become masters of their destiny. This video would have taken a monumental amount of time and patience, as well as energy, please give it a like and help this channel grow, it is surely a worthy one.

[@llasyche4358]

As someone who is new to Bloodborne, i am very thankful for this video. Not only this show me how a proper arcane only build would be, but actually guide me through the mess that is chalice dungeons. Like, i was overwhelmed with so much informations at first, what the hell is FRC ? How do i get one, where do i even start ???? Ofc i did some research and was very confused with all the glyphs and spreadsheets and overall was too much for me. But you slowly guided me through every steps needed to be done for the build and i even fully understand how the chalice dungeons work after following your video. Showing me which glyph i should use ( pls i dont want to look at the list on a spreadsheet for a particular gem that i couldnt know which is which ). You showed me tips and tricks to utilize the hunter tool, if i was to do this myself, i wouldnt even perform as good. In conclusion, this is a very informative videos to me, it has almost everything i need in one. Thank you so much.

[@thereseemstobeenanerror1219]

Just never forget the 2 most important rules of running an arcane build. Have fun, and try not to go insane.

[@osohista]

hellsing ost, pog. takes me back.

[@babayaga9805]

The amount of efforts you put into this video is just amazing...i don't know if i can be arcane master like you but will try...thanks for sharing

[@thelian_]

Maybe hundreds of hours in the making of this superb video. Nice to watch it, please keep it going!

[@dayokii]

Its just so good to watch. I didnt get bored one second! Keep it going. Your doing a good job.

[@megaultradamn]

Ah, an arcane-only run... Truly, the most cruel of fates

A masterpiece of a video. Thank you for gracing mine eyes with it

[@toyvania]

Dat sweet, interdimensional broccoli intro, amazing! Instantly suscribed.

[@Beatjoy5511]

i slept on the arcane build, but once i got the eye of black rock that shit was a game changer, rn i have 56 arcane in new game but man the range and power on that is insane… i’ve seen what the executioner gloves can do with max arc and that inspired me. y’all don’t sleep, main weapon stat plus arc with the empty phant shell is a deadly combo plus spell casting is mad fun

[@597das]

god damm the music choices are hot. great guide! tempted to make a pure arcane character now...

[@Wacck]

Really proud of you for making this and correcting the shitshow of that first vid. I can think of a few big souls content creators who just aren't willing to acknowledge that they've made mistakes. Cheers, and best of luck to you in the future ^^

[@SneakybeakyScrub]

the reason he got stuck on the houses is that you moved a little before rolling which changed his tracking, for the trick you're supposed to only move at all at the last moment

[@Issaviewer91]

Fucking bravo man, this video was so damn entertaining, i loved the music the presentation and i know you put in SO much work into it! Amazing job!

[@BeezKB]

great video , great editing. Liked and Subbed🔥

[@ZoeBateman]

**20 mins in** ...wait a second, this isn't ymfah! All joking aside, this quality of content is surprisingly great for someone with less than 1000 subs, would have guessed from the production quality that you had 10x more at least, you've definitely earned a new sub!

[@oliverjoel5870]

Amazing work on this video. Would be keen to watch a Gun only run that doesn't rely on reverse depth dungeons to be super OP for mid-late game. Currently doing a similar run (no melee weapon attacks but allowed items and hunter tools aswell) and it has been great fun relearning bossess and npcs. Some are easier but most far more challenging despite the range of the attacks.

[@jonnymario771]

Honestly you wont need the dungeons but id use them just to get bullets and vials cus farming is a pain. I was able to cannon only until like ebrietas. Wet nurse, micolash had to use gattling. And shadows of yharnam and one reborn spent the cannon shots and them finished with gattling.

[@xox-ghost-xox3871]

I used the reiterpallasch to parry bosses and then shot them with my gun buffed with bonemarrowash

[@mikekenny1698]

Arcane had so much potential to be a cool different way to do sorcery in a souls game, it needed a separate resource and not rely on bullets as those resources are stretched very thin as it is, you could use hp for bullets but it’s very risky and if you’re gonna heal after it’s two actions for only 5 bullets

[@suigetsuh17]

Nicely done! It was a very classy video🙂

[@cantharelluscibarius2244]

Love the Dorohedoro music! Great choice and great taste in anime my guy ;D

I was amazed when you used Castlevania Castle Corridor theme for Cainhurst 😂🙏🏻

Oh my god the Hellsing ost is not something I'd thought I'd ever hear in a Bloodborne video but I'm so glad about it.

[@williamminsinger9956]

One of my favorite tracks off the hellsing ost and its so fitting. I like it already!

[@Super-pp6qz]

Very well made guide, good job!

Hellsing music? You earned my subscription on that basis alone

Aw hell yeah this channel is dope! I feel kinda bad for saying this, but I'm down for ymfah clones! Always need more content like this!

Always good to see the deadliest thing in any souls game help this run gotta love gravity

Wonderful first few minutes

You could have also used the Madaras Whistle for gascoigne. It deals arcane damage eventhough it scales with bloodtinge.

Never thought I'd hear Steely Dan, let alone Peg, paired with Bloodborne. Now I want a blood filled game using Yacht Rock tunes instead of chaos Choral music. 😆 Very fun!

This guide really helped me find sole good fucking gems. Thanks bruh.

[@marcus6186]

Your videos are amazing. Any chance of a bloodtinge only?

[@3meraldo5plash]

I mean, would it really be a challenge run? Also ymfah already did that with the firearm only run, since firearms deal blood damage.

[@oliverjoel5870]

@@3meraldo5plashThe Gun only video by ymfah is very entertaining, but the latter part of the video is abusing reverse depth chalice dungeons for gems/echoes etc. The only other decent gun only guide uses empty hand charge R2 attacks as well as visceral attacks. Would be great to see a run without exploits in order to maintain the 'challenge' part of challenge run and without relying on visceral attacks or empty hand physical attacks. I have personally been doing a gun and hunter tools only run and has been great fun. Gives me the same sense of terror and satisfaction as my first playthrough. So there is definitely room for a more grounded gun only guide. Just a thought...

[@jayrob1628]

Brooo this soundtrack thoooo 🔥

[@trickstertris]

Btw you can actually get a +3 early sense arcane gives u item discovery the hunched batsmen have a high chance of dropping it just focus your arcane stat but u kinda cant unless u wanna cheat 😂

[@kingjohn8980]

Now you just need to beat bloodborne using only bloodtinge

[@issa3220]

S tier video.

[@tommen.baratheon]

I didn't understand the bit where you farmed 3mil echoes tbh. Was that just in the prison? I haven't beat the game yet but I'm slowly making progress. It just had a lot of confusing mechanics when you've never played these games yourself before :D

[@YaBoyUneven]

-likes the thumbnail -clicks the video -hears Alucard's theme -stays and watches the whole video

[@bencesandor7114]

Btw Arcane things scale very good they not have a soft or a hard cap they can go past 70 until 99 they still scale perfectly as other stats stop at progressin at hard cap
