What Happens When an Elden Ring Player Tries Bloodborne For the First Time?!

An Elden Ring player tries Bloodborne for the first time!
Today I tried playing the hit souls-like game for the very first time, Bloodborne. I have only beaten Elden Ring and Sekiro before. Do I have what it takes to beat one of the most beloved souls games of all time?

Don't forget to find the Cleric Beast, it's an optional boss down the path with two werewolves. It was its scream you heard while climbing the ladder that led you to the first lamp.

[@itsSpicyGaming]

I'll be sure to do that first thing in the next video!

[@greenhydra10]

​@@itsSpicyGaming That's definitely a good idea, otherwise you *will* be over-leveled for it.

and don´t forget to bring some molotows, the cleric beast loves them so much :D ;)

[@Kain79]

⁠@@AhmadAli-wq6euthere’s also a limb break mechanic for bosses that are not parry-able, mainly the giant bosses like the cleric beast. When u focus damage on a specific part of their body, it’ll stagger them and sometimes allow u to hit a visceral attack.

This one of this rare situation where the first boss of the playthrough is not a Cleric Beast.

[@TemplarOne]

Love when a boss does exactly what its designed to do. Teaching players to stand your ground and stay aggressive like him, to be less passive. Really just such a good first mandatory boss that can set you up for success for future fights. I was honestly expecting you to accidentally back up into the cleric beast fight while fighting the two beasts.

[@GURGLEGUY12345]

Which is funny when he won the fight by being _less_ aggressive and letting the boss attack to parry him.

[@Dualities]

Nice bot comment u got there. Almost watched your video

[@adrianavv3]

for your first time playing, you did really great and it was a fun watch. one important thing is to level up your builds. you do this using the doll in hunter’s dream. she wakes up after you gain 1 insight. and i’m glad you figured out the importance of timing your parries. eventually you can get a rune that when equipped lets you gain health when performing visceral attacks. if you do more exploring in central yharnam area like the sewers you can find another weapon as well as new clothes that give you better stats. and while it’s only an optional boss, the cleric beast is a pretty good fight. also when you take damage hit as much as your stamina allows to regain as much health as possible. this game is way more focused on offensive game styles and it encourages you to be more aggressive with your attacks. i’m looking forward to your next video :)) happy hunting!

[@cesarsain3731]

I left a pretty lengthy comment. I wasn’t impressed with the beginning though coming from someone that literally started this game as your very first souls game. It’s kind of crazy that the basic mechanics you are told to the beginning he overlooked or didn’t even really pay attention. I was able to switch my ex to the long necks and I was waiting for this meant to turn the cane into a whip. Over all I like the guy to he’s funny. Just I thought he’d played souls games this should be cake. Which lead me to why am replying to you but yeah, he hasn’t realize yet that he can regain his health by attacking him and it hurt me every time he used his vials when he could literally regain the whole thing back. By attacking 😢😢😢 but I want to see how he gets into the groove of things 😉😉

[@giovannipanighel2761]

Remember to use the doll, should it please you

[@Crowvoran]

I have to say that you got quite quick into the gameplay, actually. I as a souls- and elden player still have a really hard time to adjust to this much quicker and more aggressive style of gameplay. Thumbs up and good luck on your journey through London Souls.

[@trixenzo3398]

Super funny video, as someone who got the platinum for bloodborne I’m happy to see people trying it out. This game has a big learning curve but the more you play the more you’ll get used to it. I recommend searching for blood stones to level up your gun and cane!

[@TA-hf6si]

What a nice little throwback to the first souls game I ever owned. Father Gascoigne to this day remains the hardest souls boss I've fought. First vid from you I saw. Genuinely liked it! Keep em coming!

Just discovered your channel through your randomized bloodborne video (which was amazing by the way) and am about to binge this playlist.

[@LuckbeaSladey]

Genuine excitement when I saw this video posted! Very selfishly wish you were doing a let’s play just for more content, but totally get that you don’t have infinite time to make KZbin videos. Whatever Fromsoft content you put out, I’m here for.

[@Tasytot]

You did really well. Bloodborne was my first Fromsoft and it took me many, many tries to beat Gasciogne as I learned to parry. I think Bloodborne has really good level design in that initial area as it sets the groundwork teaching you everything to expect out of the game. Getting to the first boss is a lesson in how to navigate the whole game

[@Jarzula]

I love this game. The dialogue, the sounds. It’s too perfect. My friend said he hates the sound of the boots when you’re walking/running but it’s my favorite. Nostalgic af, think ima go back to it and finish.

[@mehrshadmehranfard755]

Sir, welcome to Bloodborne, It'll be a wonderful experience. & as a welcoming gift here's a small tip: Try to backtrack & pay as much attention to detail as possible, this game is a lot like ds1 & metroidvania games in the sense of exploration & game progression, there are a lot of shortcuts to be found & a lot of paths that u need a key item u find later on to unlock; also, try & read the item descriptions as much as possible, a lot of the game story comes from those( unlike sekiro or elden ring which have a more narrated & voiced out story); I won't spoil anything but for example the boss u just beat, has a side quest & some story which u'll find if u search the area before him well enough. Anyways, wrote a bit too much, hope u enjoy the game!

It's awesome and hilarious to see someone new to the game but who has played /other/ similar games. I came into Bloodborne as my first soulsborne and it is seriously cracking me up to compare how the paranoia levels were about the same but the skill and reaction time is NOT. Super fun watch, lost it coughing from you surviving the fall and then the flaming ball only to get smacked right after lol

[@zaviersyed8483]

its so interesting to see your approach to this game having experienced sekiro and elden ring w/o dark souls

[@Drawfill]

I just love how you took cane for your first playthrough. Welcome to the club pimp!

[@BigBadBalrog]

I really appreciate all the little things, like walking up to a random door that looks important, getting lost in the Hunter's Dream, and trying to mix shooting into a melee combo that prove this is actually a blind run. So often "blind" videos just so happen to wind up making all the optimal choices and all looking the same.

[@el_loco7798]

[@shmvlogs8668]

[@deconstructyourlegotower9252]

I have spent around 300 hours on Elden Ring and have platinum. Now I am about halfway or past halfway into the Bloodborne story. I have really enjoyed it. Each boss encounter is either easy (somehow managed to beat them first attempt) or excruciatingly hard, and the music is constantly there to keep the player on the edge of their seat as they reach the second/third phase. I cannot wait to sink more hours into Bloodborne and it’s dlc.

Remember to use the transforming attack. Press L1 while attacking, rolling, or quickstepping to transform the right-hand weapon while attacking. Big damage

[@cesarsain3731]

He didn’t read any of the tips I think cuz I was doing all that and this was my first souls game. I read every single note on the floor and explored what I call the training area a whole day. Yes I played 22 hours that’s how much I loved the game it was stupid hard at first cuz I hand only played FPS and button smashing games. This game changed the way I play every game since. In the first day found new suit and weapon took me even longer to pass the first boss not the guy wolf but the actual boss that opens up the world.

[@thetoyodacar2264]

@@cesarsain3731 some people just steamroll games without properly trying to understand the game. I also read all the tips in the hub, they were all very usefull.

Sekiro is my favorite FromSoft game. It makes me want a new Tenchu entry so bad.

[@thanomusic4697]

One can alternate light attacks with weapon transformation to do like a transicion attack that can come in handy. And backstabs aren't as simple, you can do a charged heavy attack before doing a backstab, if not you will just light attack the enemy. Good luck on your first run! I hope you enjoy the game a as a whole.

[@georger8133]

Still remember my first playthrough (first soulsborne game for me), I too chose the threaded cane. It was rough and a struggle. I promise if you take the time to learn the cane and its whip form, it'll dominate hordes of enemies.

[@KiYoshi6]

ah man the vid is amazing and hollow knight music just got the watching experience in another level

[@RyanCogar]

You seem to be picking up the combat quirks pretty well, my few tidbits would be: 1.) Explore friggin everywhere, there's literally so much helpful stuff to be found. If not useful or wanted then it can be sold for some ez echoes. 2.) Some weapons charged R2 attack sometimes have a follow up R2, for the most part this is for a specific version of a weapon...not both forms of the weapon. Stamina heavy though of course, so to be used with some caution for sure. 3.) You can also do unique R1 moves after a roll/dodge & unique R1's/R2's after a quickstep (circle button by itself, no direction input). There are also different R1/R2 attacks while sprinting. I'm sure somebody would have mentioned the obvious L1 transforming attacks too (I hope) 😁 4.) If you do pick up any weapon that has a 2-handed mode, just remember in 2-handed mode they'll have an L2 combo too, instead of your usual blam-blam initiator 😉😂 Many people have fallen victim of trying for a parry & then realising what happened after their hunter goes swinging 😅

[@MadMadNomad]

Subbed for the Diebuster music at the end 👍👍

[@joels5150]

I too walked into my first Gascione fight by mistake while trying to find a lantern. RIP the 7k echoes I had on me, (I only learned a few days later that the echoes were somewhere on the ground in the boss arena and I could have recovered them). There were a number of things you missed in Central Yarnham before beating Father G (free armor, weapons, optional boss fight and a few lore bits like talking to his daughter and getting a special item). It’s worth going back even after killing him. (Or making another character and doing it before his fight).

[@ellythethird10]

I died laughing when you entered the father casgoine fight and immediatly died, really good video. Where is that outro video from?

[@cosomarino3092]

You did great! One thing though: parrying isn't the only way to stagger enemies. If you sneak at the back of the enemy and hold R2, you can stagger it to perform a visceral attack. You can also do it while you're already fighting an enemy if you roll at its back and hold R2, but it's much harder and some bosses can't even be staggered by it

[@nexdroid1486]

Bloodborne was my first souls game and I love it so much, I struggled my ass off at first until I made the effort to learn the game, now I have the platinum trophy for multiple souls games, demon souls is basically done aswell so that would make 5
