20:36 "I legitimately thought I chose the Bad Ending." You did. Defeating Gehrman did release him of that terrible nightmare of his, being trapped forever in The Dream, letting some leave and having to bury others, but now that Gehrman has been relieved of his duty to watch over The Dream for The Great Ones and The Moon Presence, someone must take his place in the chair: You. You assume the rank that Gehrman once had, watching over The Dream before finally being relieved yourself by another Hunter. The other Bad Ending is letting Gehrman release you from The Dream and returning to The Real World. The ground you walk on is very real, the air you breath too is very real, and dawn you face as you awake is very real, yet so too is The Nightmare that shall come after The Dawn. Yharnam will inevitably be plunged back into The Nightmare, making beasts and Hunters of men alike. You will be one of those Hunters, as you were once before, so too will you inevitably be again, as it was predicted and even decided upon by The Great Ones themselves. The True Ending is that you defy Gehrman as done before, but having consumed The Three Thirds of The Umbilical Cords beforehand. Doing so will allow you to defy even The Moon Presence itself, placing yourself above The Great Ones and even The Moon Presence itself. Slaying The Moon Presence shall allow you to ascend to a sort of Godhood, if you will, turning your mortal form into that of an infant Great One. Having usurped all The Great Ones, The Moon Presence and even The Dream itself, you unmake The Dream, rewriting history in the way you deem fit. But, as all things are, you shall, inevitably, begin to reminisce. Of the days gone by. Of your time as a Hunter. Of The Dream. Of Gehrman. Of The Dream. Of The Great Ones. Of The Moon Presence. Of the Blood, and how it sang to you. You will pine for those days once more, and make your reality of the one you usurped long before. You will repeat your same decisions, good and bad, but will do so willingly and consciously, fully aware you are repeating what has already happened. But maybe this time, you'll do something different. Try something new. Go somewhere you haven't. You may look to the future with your eyes truly open. Only then are you truly free. But you must never forget your past. For we are born of the blood, made men of the blood, undone by the blood. Fear The Old Blood.

Moon Presence AKA Flora is one of my favourite bosses. She’s tough and has her gimmicks that will decimate an inexperienced player (which anyone who’s gotten to her really shouldn’t be at that point) and anyone that struggles against the beast playstyle will likely get splattered across the garden, but to an experienced Hunter she’s a lot easier of a fight. The game even goes so far as to actually make your character stronger for her fight by making her glare not instant kill you. If you’ve ever watched Garden of Eyes Boss VS Boss videos, you can see just how ridiculously strong she truly is against anyone that isn’t the newly Ascended Player, and I think that just heightened my appreciation of her. She’s a God, sure, but the Gods don’t need to fight, so she doesn’t really know how and it shows. She just uses her Godly powers to fucking smite things that piss her off like a Mage build in Elden Ring using Comet Azur. Your character is *now a God* but has experience fighting Gods and, as a result, can turn her Kyuubi looking ass into paste while also resisting her attacks. You are the boss now, and that’s just so cool I love her more for it.

Paarl is *SO* freaking annoying in the Chalice Dungeons. Hardest boss in the game in the game IMO (not counting NG+ cycles). What a mess of a fight! Fast and unpredictable, hard to hit beacuse its legs are so skinny, camera movement is pure chaos, and many of its moves can 1-shot you if you mess up your dodging and get the counter-hit damage multiplier, not to mention the BS projectiles it gains on its basic attacks during phase 2. I've beaten this game more than 12 times now and I still dread fighting this thing. Many bosses (Laurence being a prime example) used to completely destroy me, but now I can usually beat them on my first few tries, only getting hit more than 4-5 times in many cases. With Chalice Paarl on the other hand... each time I beat it just feels like I got lucky for it not abusing its outrageous mobility, and it really sucks.... If a remaster ever happens, they need to fix the camera and make its legs easier to hit, that would go a long way to make the fight actually enjoyable since this boss looks really cool aesthetically, it really deserves better.

This boss scares me more than Orphan of Kos, just the way you have to sprint past werewolves on the walk down, and the way it is lumbering towards you slowly at first and then becoming more aggressive as the fight progresses. Even during the cave in Old Hunters, I knew there was one in the cave that I would probably kill in 8 hits, but I was so traumatized from the original boss fight my hands were sweating walking through to the end of the cave

[@scottbecker4367]

Father Gas Can is cool, but there are many better bosses. He deserves to be a little higher on the list but not much more.

It is 12:30 at night, and as I am lying in bed underneath my covers, half asleep, I take a look at my phone and see “Mr. Cheekflaps,” making me let out a hearty chuckle in the middle of the night. Thank you, Rusty, for what you do.

[@AC03115]

Great video, Bloodborne is easily my favorite SoulsBorne game without question. My 3 favorite bosses would have to be Vicar Amelia. You literally gave the perfect explanation for why I love her as a boss. It's like you took the words out of my mouth, couldn't have said it better myself. I sum her up as this: The Cleric Beast teaches you how to play Dark Souls, Father Gascoigne teaches you the basics of Bloodborne, Vicar Amelia turns it up to 11 and truly teaches you how to play Bloodborne. She's such an underrated boss and by far has the best design in the game in my opinion. I do wish she had her own theme instead of sharing it with The Cleric Beast but that track is good so I let it slide

[@MartinJHenebury]

I also love the blood-starved Beast I think it's a perfect Melee character that ultimately discourages passive play style if even after father gascoigne you have tried to just sit back and parry. However having to pop antidotes every time you get near it is unfair

[@jacthing1]

I find him incredibly annoying to fight personally. And really annoying to parry because of how thin he is and how much he moves. Except for the move where he...I think is biting you a bunch? He brings his head down and hits you eight times.

[@codysykes5568]

Gehrman was actually a hero, imo. The more lore I dug into the more I came to realize he was fighting to keep you from having to deal with the traumatic shit of being stuck in a permanent beast killing Limbo. If you come back to the Hunter's Dream often you'll eventually hear him crying and basically bemoaning being stuck in an endless cycle of watching Hunters come and go - that's why I devoted myself to fighting him in old fashioned Souls one-on-one rules; no healing items, no buffs, just skill versus skill and blade versus blade. I felt I owed him that much.

[@crystalrelic_art]

I actually managed to beat Martyr Logarius first try during my 3rd playthrough(on a new character, of course) Most proud moment of my life. And also, you were quite right about the Amygdala fight being insanely easy with the right build lol I have a lvl 85 arcane build character; 3 hits of my Call Beyond tool and Amygdala was as mobile as a squished spider.

[@firstviicar]

I just got back into bloodborne a few months ago after finally getting a handmedown ps4 from my best friend, and this game has consumed my life again. This list is p damn spot on, but I really like how you explained Laurence and Ludwig. They're my favorite bosses in the whole damn game, and laughed too damn hard at "Because he's fuck mothering Laurence and you're gonna do what he goddamn tells you to." Definitely earned a sub for this one

[@Jungbeck]

Ludwig is my favorite by far. Most epic OST, 2 entirely different phases, epic cutscene, disgusting arena, awesome boss design and just hard enough for not being over in 5 seconds or taking 10 minutes.

[@lethanako]

I've played Bloodborne about 5 times through now. I can't help but absolutely love Lady Maria's fight because it truly feels like a Hunter vs Hunter kind of battle in PvP. Taking her down was my greatest accomplishment in the game since it took me a few tries.

[@chaoslacroix7180]

Dude this is as funny as your original version of top 10 most hated hollow knight enemies.

[@LSC-hd1rx]

I just love The One Reborn fight so much.The grotesque yet amazing and creative design of the boss, the concept behind of it(Basically a horrifying failure of an attempt to create a god), the introduction cutcene of this unholy abomination beeing sumoned out of a sphere in the sky and the take of it standing up with that beautifull red moon in the background, the soundtrack, everything is amazing.

[@VergiliosSpatulas]

[@scottbecker4367]

The orphan of kos was the boss that solidified this as one of my top 3 games of all time.

[@danlorett2184]

Probably the boss in all of soulsborne that punishes both greed and panic rolling the hardest. Learning Orphan was like learning Nameless King on steroids. You got greedy and went for one extra swing? Lose half your HP. Panicked because you're now a one shot and you dodged an extra time? Guess you'll need to try again. Only thing I don't like is how big some of his AOE attacks are in the last phase - just annoying to deal with. Still a great fight.

[@2dogg228]

[@Xtrendence]

Great video, but I think you missed the point of the Moon Presence along with most people who found it easy. The point is that once you've gained enough insight to repel it, you've become MUCH more powerful than it, or any Great One for that matter. At that point, although the Moon Presence isn't weak, it stands no chance, and it makes sense. It's nowhere near on your level at that point.

[@erickmorris6530]

Ludwig was absolutely the best, the pacing the music, the lore.... I literally spent a week playing only Ludwig battles over summoning.

[@fine_ol_chap]

To be honest, one flaw I saw at Martyr Logarius was the fact that you didn't charge a heavy attack behind him during his 2nd phase transition. It's a life saver for the rest of the fight as your bullets won't get thrown in a different direction if you try to shoot him at the right timing

[@lezworkshop]

Ngl Ludwig the accursed is my favourite boss, because he’s just so chad and barbaric at first but also has finesse in the second part of the fight

[@maximilianovergarapaz5056]

That thing with the add is just so cool 👏

[@ooohheldenring9770]

Tip for the Shadows. Target the pure range one first. He's a pain in the ass if you're taking down the other two, and unlike them can just be stunlocked into oblivion with enough DPS. The best way to do this is to pass through Cainhurst for chunks before the fight, then just spam until they start turning into snake heads. During the transformation, just keep spamming him and he should die before the animation is over, leaving you with the close range guys.

[@RoseAltro]

Yeah, sure thing chief.

[@Rusty._]

ight cool

[@gustavoalverez6934]

[@michaeljesuscaboose3071]

Logarius is cheesable. Stagger him while he's charging for second phase - he's melee from that point on and you can keep staggering that ass with the pistol. Easy-peasy.

[@justynromanoski693]

That sneezed line had my rolling at midnight

[@greathoonta3461]

Ludwig is actually an extremely easily right if you fight aggressive. In first stage: -when he does that arcane goo spray at you literally just dodge through it and tank the hit cause you will earn all that health back by hitting him. -when he swings at you with that right arm when he’s running at you just dodge forward and get 3 hits in. -when he starts flailing around going crazy just back off a couple metres Just keep running behind him, and when he kicks at you back step. Second stage: -run right at him, he won’t jump on your head if you are next to him and attacking him. That move is made to punish hesitance. -when he does his sword wave slash (the same one your R2 transformed attack with the sword does) side step forward. -when he swings horizontally at you dodge in toward his chest, that move is made to punish side steps and back steps. -when he does the AOE run behind him and back about 10 metres. -when he starts slamming the ground in front of him just dodge left whenever he raises his arm. The main strategy is to stick behind him because that BS one shot, even if he uses it the tracking ground explosions won’t even come close to you. Also, don’t take the visceral unless you have a really good bloodtinge build because it’s more more rewarding to stagger him by hitting him in the head a bunch of times.

Well that felt pretty bad...

I can kind of understand where you're coming from with the shadows, but... I guess i just liked them? Give me a dozen shadows of yharnam over a lawrence any day, will always be easier and more satisfying. You don't win against laurence, you survive him. Gascoigne instead was just plain cool to me while amelia is one of the big bosses i actually like, as i prefer humanoid bosses as they give you more options of approaching them. P.s.: and i guess i kinda like thw bsb too? Though that's only after i mastered parrying her...

[@amidalaprin4846]

Tip for shadows of Yharnam: keep one of the ranged ones in-between you and the giant headstone in the arena, and keep the other two in your FOV. Focus on killing one because phase changes are dictated by their total health as a group. Also let the other ranged one buff it's weapon w fire, so it'll swing it more than shoot ranged.

[@alexbenavidez4500]

I fucking love the commentary in these videos, oh God. I only just discovered this channel. I've found my tier list with Bloodborne enemies in terms of difficulty and enjoyableness will vary to most, as I played the entire game, fighting every boss with the blade of mercy This made me weak to multiple enemy bosses The Shadows of Yharnam and Rom the Vacuous Spider fucking destroyed me for so long. All the three enemy bosses like the shadows of Yharnam you encounter in the chalice dungeons were similarly difficult I found that eldritch beast enemies were actually the easiest for me, and humanoid enemies were the most engaging challenge Despite facing three enemies, I beat the Witches of Hemwick on the first go, because I knew beforehand there were two and you had to ignore the spawned enemy I fought them with zero insight, so only one spawned in and was easy to ignore Super easy battle. Especially since their AOE can injure one another The only difficulties were the eyeball scooping attack they do. I got stunlocked into that three times, and nearly died close to the end Recovery was fast afterwards though, and one of the Witches managed to kill the other for me with her area attack like a dumbass

[@ryla22]

I beat vicar amelia 2nd try on my first playthrough but spent literally 2 hours on gascoigne. Vicar amelia is easy if you use the saw cleaver in its untransformed state (as I did because I didnt understand the point of transformed attacks) you can also use the saw spear in either mode as it has lacerating damage on both modes unlike the saw cleaver

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

Tip for Logarius, he's actually kind of easy to cheese. Phase 1, every attack you do makes him flinch so a fast low stamina cost weapon melts him. Then in phase 2, standing close makes him swing his sword every time so you can parry his guts out.
