@@Kazuhira2249 Yeah, Elden Ring has outer gods, but the game doesn't embrace the eldritch horrors like how Bloodborne does. It does the eldritch themes better than the the games, like Call of Cthulhu and the Sunken City, does. And that's saying something too.

A very crucial detail worth pointing out. Iosefka only gives the Hunter Blue Elixirs after you've entered the clinic through the back at least one. Before that, she gives you Numbing Mists(an item from Cainhurst?) for every person you deliver to her. I assume this is because if you enter the clinic, see her work, and still send her "patients" then you are knowingly supporting her work. She rewards the Hunter more generously as they also recieve more Insight for sending people after this visit as opposed to before. This also directly changes all future dialogue with her. Before, you were her unwitting pawn. Now, you're her partner in crime.

@@JayBritton I didn't even realize the difference in rewards myself until you meantioned the elixirs and though to myself "Wrong!!" I recently started a new playthrough and havent left Yharnam yet, so Numbing Mist being the reward was still fresh in my mind. Went to look it up to make sure... Turns out, we were both right XD

@@JayBritton Yes you're totally right props for Redgrave for such incredible work :D I've spent so much time pondering the lore and reading item descriptions, but there's so many things that didn't sink in until watching this. I especially loved the chapter about Vermin and the League. Almost no one talks about those aspects of the story, yet the implications of this analysis are so much larger than one initially considers.

The man sounds like a bloodborne character himself, the clever editing in that he uses the actual voice lines instead of just quoting them with his voice, showing the item descriptions as he mentions them, and the occasional music that makes important moments exciting. This is absolutely perfect. I've been wanting to read the Paleblood hunt for a while but I was never a fan of reading so I only read a page and then stopped. But then somehow the algorithm grants me the greatest gift of all time, this video

I think that the reason Amygdala doesnt "die" when you slay it is because all of the Amygdalae are just parts of the whole, poking through into our reality. As though we were fish in a pond, and a human dipped their fingers into the water. To us they look separate and independent, albeit identical when they are in fact just the only parts of a whole that are visible to us

I love this, but there's nothing in the lore that incidcates this as such. Yes, great ones exist with physical avatars that can be killed, but still exist spiritually - Mergo, Orphan, Moon Presence, but there's nothing that indicates Lesser Amygdala is the same as the Amygdala god. I think what really is happening here is that Amygdala is sort of like the queen and, and all the lesser Amygdalas are like worker ants. I suppose we could say that the lesser Amygdalas respond to/are extensions of the will of the Great One Amygdala who exists in a separate plane than our physical world, but they are not the same.

I did some thinking with the Doll. She loves us as a human loves Gods. What if the way we see the doll, always there for us, even if we kill her, even if we abuse her, always her pretty self, is how WE look to the Great Ones. And vice versa, a doll cannot tell the difference between hunters. Every single one of us is given the same respect no matter our treatment of her. All Amygdala look the same even though by lore accounts, all great ones are so different they can't breed together. What if that's because even with our insight, we still can't see the difference between them, save for only truly exceptional ones like Kos or Flora, similar to how the doll only knows us and Gherman? And this last part about us being a doll, what if to the Moon Presence, we are nothing but a doll. The way it holds the player reminds me of how a kid holds a Barbie. It only tries to break its new "toy" when it realize we aren't a doll like Gherman, but a being of personhood like itself? Wouldn't it be so thematic if the Hunters Dream was actually a Doll House? Complete with a Barbie, and if you're a male character, or even Gherman himself, a Ken Doll.

I always thought the girl saying "when daddy forgets us" was referring to the beasthood slowly taking over him, but nope it's dementia or something of the like. Also had no idea about Henryk and Viola. Amazing video dude, your narration is spectacular!

I’m currently doing a BL4 run of the game and am noticing more things than previously (being this low level forces you to pay closer attention) and the lore just feels so much larger and in depth than previous playthroughs. I’m so glad I found this video. I listen to this while drive home from work every day.

Watching this for the first time this month was a phenomenal experience-there weren't many areas in which I learned something or saw something in a different perspective, but there was at least one such moment in every chapter, and I very much appreciated the "oh shit" moments they all provided! Specifically the end of Chapter 5.

I enjoyed the book by Redgrave and can’t believe I’m just finding out about this audiobook! You did an outstanding job on this, I am heavily impressed. Your voice is perfect for stories of similar themes such as works by HP Lovecraft’s or Edgar Allen Poe.

The connection between the vermin and Cainhurst just hitted me like a train. Like many others here I have studied the lore of Bloodborne a very long time now and I would have never, ever thought that I would see such a majore lore-breakthrough again, that it would make me stare into nothingnes, trying to make sense of what I just heard just to realize that it all makes sense! Cainhurst is my favorite piece of lore and I always wondered where they would fit between kin/beasts. They way you/the document teased at what this way of thinking about the vermin could imply made it that much more delightful for me, thanks ♥️ Fear the old blood.

It took me a week, but all 5 hours and 27 minutes of it was worth it. Incredibly detailed, wonderfully narrated and a pure love letter to a modern classic. Easily for me the best Bloodborne lore video on KZbin. Thanks for the effort!

@@JayBritton yeah I think they were named Storage? Actually nevermind pretty sure the character was played by a lady named Bri, my bad I think my brain's still hemorrhaging from that last episode, makes the details a bit fuzzy 😆 On the core topic, you should pressure someone at Tablestory to run a game heavily inspired by BB or perhaps do so yourself!

This is a really amazing work. I spend a great bit of my free time listening to audiobooks (it works really well while playing Soulsborne games too, I recommend it) and this is some of the best I have listened to. Your pacing and tone remain consistent, with the right emotional nuance when necessary (and recognising that for this type of read it should have little of it for the haunting atmosphere). This is truly is amazing, I even ended up looking up what stuff you have done on Audible after I listened to this, I am seriously impressed. Thank you! This is such a great gift, I love you almost as much as mum and dad! And granddad!

I remember going to Yahar'gul for the first time after being kidnapped by the snatcher just outside of the chapel. Incredible moment. The Hypogeon Gaol is my favorite level in the game for the atmosphere alone. It was awesome to go back there after killing Rom and exposing the Blood Moon. Seeing the aftermath of the Ritual of Mensis was what made me realize I was not playing a game about werewolves and beast hunters. Thank you for doing this. I've been dying for more lore on the Ritual of Mensis and this delivered in spades.

Of all the From Software games Bloodborne is the one game I felt actually changed my perspective. I always felt the meta conclusion was something often overlooked. When you first play the game and finally beat it with the first ending, you feel utterly accomplished and you, like the hunter, step forth into a new day; ready to face the hunt once more. When you’re more skilled, and experienced, you refuse to wake and in the end take over the hunter’s dream. Just like you, the Hunter ascends the waking world, and like the player becomes one with the game. Finally when you defeat the Moon Beast, the Hunter ascends to become something more than human. In doing so you essentially beat every boss in the game and in doing to, you’ve proven to yourself you can and have overcome every challenge the game can throw at you. You e transcended the challenge before you and have become something more.
