Hello, good hunters! Happy 11th birthday to this dearly beloved game of ours, originally released on March 24th, 2015. Join us in celebration by participating in the annual Return to Yharnam event running from March 24th through April 7th!

• Create a new character and play through the game.
• Summon as many random cooperators and invaders as possible.
• Ensure that your matchmaking region is set to Worldwide.

• Finally, and most importantly of all, have fun!

This mf is BY FAR the DUMBEST FUCKING THING in the game. 90% of his attacks are UNDODGABLE and have like 3 km of reach. He fucking STUN LOCKS and two shots you. The parry window is almost fucking non existent half of the time. And just to get the Rakuyo they put 2 of them in a cave. Once the second one comes it’s over, you can’t do anything, they just spam launches and instakill you. And before someone says “skill issue” nah fuck you, this is a dumb enemy with dumb design that is difficult for the sake of it and unfair.

After 10 years I've finally been able to play Bloodborne, I know it's not gonna be of use to most people since the game launched a decade ago and there's a great world map already made by HYPN0TYK (which I used in my first run), but I love doing these, so a made one.

It took me 3 weeks, (~120hrs in photoshop). I started by cropping every area map from the official guide and "assembling" them in different layers before drawing over each one, the overall shape is "ok" but I feel like I could've done a much better job if a 3d collision map viewer existed for Bloodborne like it does dor Dark Souls 1, at least I didn't find one.
For example, you can see Iosefka's Clinic from the Forbidden Woods entrance but it's really far away unlike in the map, and if I move one part of an area, it disconnects in many other places and it's a nightmare to connect everything without misshapin the whole layout.

But overall I loved doing it, am proud of the result and hope it is still of use to some people.

Edit: I should've expected this would come up but was too eager to post the map somewhere, but regarding u/Hypnotyks map: The thought of what I was doing being redundant was present the whole time, I'm fully self aware of that, after all it's just a reference map, maps like Lecture Hall and Nightmare of mensis are almost useless if seen from up top but it's nice seeing the whole layout from above like this. So why did I do another one years later?

Because I like it. It's a hobby. For some reason drawing maps, charts, infographics while listening to podcasts is therapeutic for me, soon as I saw there were very beautiful maps in the official guide, even if separated in small chunks, I started stitching them together to make one big overlay map, but highly detailed. Would it serve the same purpose as the one Hypno made? Yes. But wanted to see what the detailed version would look like. I did it, and loved every second of the process. I often see the Dark Souls Map I made almost 15 years ago and think "damn, I would've done a MUCH better job today" and I guess I wanted to scratch that itch.

It's a very niche thing to do and not many people share that weird braincell, I often wondered about Hypno's process as well while doing mine, "Did they use the guide as a reference?", "Did they do it by observing the places in-game and struggled to connect them after?", "I get the green for forest areas, light blue for Byrgenwerth, but why they went with blue for Yharnam? Why green for the Research Hall?" stuff like this, I could nerd out about the details for a while here but what I'm getting at is:

I get someone scrolling trough Reddit , seeing this post and without zooming in going "eh, similar to that other one that's in the wiki" - Fine by me.

But when someone is scrolling trough Reddit, sees this post and without even zooming in goes "stolen", that hits different in my side of things.

For the love of Oedon, be very mindful and make sure you're right before accusing someone of plagiarism.

Good thing is, I've shared the .psd file in the post, if someone wants to do individual maps, separate floors, change the background to whatever they want, just go ahead, cause it was done over the course of three weeks by cropping, cleaning, resizing and fitting every walkthrough page from the strategy guide like a puzzle and traced over, connected and organised with much love and care, not for you, but for me, it being useful to you is a bonus. A nice one at that.

My buddy tells me that Bloodlickers are really just giant fleas.

I’m convinced they’re really just giant trashcans.

Would appreciate any additional expert opinions.

I tried Lies of P (which I enjoyed a lot, but was its own thing), Elden Ring obviously (the closest I got from that particular Yharnam madness) . I loved Control for it's cryptic weirdness and extensive lore, Dead Space for its slow descent into madness etc... but now I need a new fix 🙏🏻

I’m Trying to defeat ludwig bl4 + no heal + no beast blood pellet, i keep dying to this attack and it comes up super fast and its unpredictable and kills me instantly, i want tips on how to avoid this attack

EDIT : I GOT HIM FINALLY

She doesn't talk and all she does is cry, do I hit her?

First time player how do you defeat him

Ok, before you down vote me into a oblivion for how passive am playing and the obvious skill issue, can someone please tell how am i supposed to fight this. I have almost no troubles breezing pass phase one of OoK, besides with some minor hiccups. But when he gets into phase 2 his iq drops from a fucking 1 to 0, because half the time I have no idea what's happening with all of the effects thrashing around in my face, along with all of his moves becoming even more unpredictable than before. And then he js starts jumping around and running circles around me, rendering the assistance of lock on useless as he is to fast. I haven't felt way since the first time I've fought gherman 🥲

So, a few months ago, I asked for help and some tips on the game and received a lot of support, which helped me a lot.

I was helping a boy from the cathedral to bring people there, so I tried to bring as many people as possible.

I confess that sometimes I'm a bit absent-minded and didn't notice that there was something strange about a man I met in the forbidden forest. He asked for a place to stay, and I told him the cathedral. I saw some bodies next to him, a family, but I thought he was just looting corpses, nothing more.

So I continued playing, did several dungeons, leveled up a lot, and when I returned to the cathedral, there was a pool of blood where the old lady should have been. Does anyone know if he did this? And will this somehow affect my gameplay and my attempt at the platinum trophy?

Does anynody knows how i reach there???

It's in a tower behind the cathedral district

A lot of people knew who we were, but we also got called Twilight Volturri vampires, the Avril Lavigne band, and generic pirates lol

Doll is @saintiyla

Lady Maria is @grayoranges

Hunter has no socials

So I talked to an old lady in a tower and then jumped in to a shiny spot in the lake. Now I'm just sitting with this thing and since he's not attacking me, I'm not attacking him either. Do I have to? Or is there any other way?

So, I started playing Bloodborne for the first time; it's my first soulslike. It's always been a genre I've been very fond of, but I never had the opportunity to play it. So after playing some games, I noticed it was time to start my journey, so I decided to start with Bloodborne first. I created my character and tested the three initial weapons, but the one I liked the most by far was the cane. Being new, I'm suffering and having a bit of trouble because it does very little damage. Do you guus have any tips to improve my gameplay, or am I simply not worthy of this weapon?

I passed the first scenario perfectly and faced a certain very stylish priest, but I feel that upon reaching the second area, it's as if I were a kitten in a den of lions hungry for pale blood.

(Ah, and a certain clerical beast crushed me like I was a baby, I don't know why but I found her more Oh, and a certain clerical beast crushed me like I was a baby; I don't know why, but I found her more difficult than the priest himself. than the priest himself. btw, thanks for the attention! 😎
