Timendum est vetus sanguinem

Amelia always knew she'd be taking the position of Vicar from her mentor. She just didn't expect it to be so soon, nor did she expect to be the last Vicar to ever be.

Imagine… you are a student at Byrgenwerth trying to pass your classes as normal as posible, trying to pay attention in class despite the storm outside. The class is lit by the warm lanterns making it a cozy place to be in.

The professor is talking about some ancient rituals but you don’t really pay any mind, today you are rather absent-minded, the heavy rain creates a soothing rhythm against the tall windows that look down the class, it’s barely 4 but is so dark outside.

You look down to your notes, decorated with some silly doodles, you’ll ask for today’s work to one of your classmates. The class is quiet except for professor Willem and a few whispers from other students, time passes slowly but you don’t care, it’s comfortable here.

You think about the last time you visited the Cathedral Ward, there are some good cafes there, you wouldn’t mind going anytime soon with some friends, or alone, to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and a delicious cake. The narrow streets of Yharnam hugging you in and seemingly not letting you scape its beauty, to you the city feels intoxicating, so full of life and people.

You, however, dread the knowledge that the hunt is once again approaching. You will lock yourself in your room and not get out until it’s over, not wanting to risk anything.

May the good blood guide the brave, or rather, foolish who dare go out that night.

Sighing you turn your attention back to professor Willem.

Part 1 Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6

Let me share my screenshots and experiences with Bloodborne :) I started the game in 2020, but had to put aside bc of school/work. After playing Lies of P I thought I'll give it another try with my brother-in-law (who was very hyped to play together) :D

Starting with my guy, he's Zeke, I don't remember the base story/stats I chose for him. Back then I thought he looks fine but now...well XD he has pretty eyes at least! (not pictured) More under the cut!

Fresh, little hunter ready for the trauma!

I chose the biggest weapon possible, like I usually do, and went for hunting. This game look extremely good, so I was admiring the architecture a lot.

Ngl this first area was very stressful and scary for a first timer, like myself. I had to go around a lot bc of dying, then bc of farming to get stronger 😓

Finally an outfit! And him eye!

God, I love her already <3

I don't wanna tell mow many pictures I have of his eye :'))

When little old me didn't know who is the actual boss of the area,so hired an old hunter for the Cleric Beast. I thought, "wow Daddy G you're so nice thank you <3"

💩

Took me an embarassingly long time to reach this point, even with the tomb cheese :/

Very pretty arena though

On to the next part where I, yes, leveled up a lot, again and started to gather people to be mean to me.

Zelda instincts, but there was nothing :(

umm hiiii you look like a totally normal, not unhinged man, who would not kill others then himself for martyrdom,haha (pain)

Moments (+ chin)

Why thank you ma'am! I worked on it really hard!

Unfortunately, I failed Eileen's quest and we both died 😔

Thinking about her...

Nevermind, what's that?

Going to end a bit early, but join me for more Bloodborne deep dive!

In case you were curious about the dialogue Oedon Chapel Dweller has to say if you send all the survivors to the clinic instead.

Made it into old yharnam!

Cathedral ward is pretty blocked off for now, I've got just enough leg room to run about and grind the enemies but that's about it. Met Alfred!! He's got a way smoother voice than I remember, but knowing what I do of him gives me the creeps. Helpful enough though - I can summon him at the entrance of the blood starved beasts church.

The funny thing about playing this game with great general knowledge of it is that I recognise many rooms and important locations, but I don't know where on earth those places are, so I'm still stumbling blindly onto them. There's a lot of stuff I know, surface level, like the history of Queen yharnam and the vile bloods and the healing church, but I'm uncovering a lot of smaller stuff that adds to the richness of the world.

The gatling sniper on the tower uses a boom weapon, which means he's a (remnant?) member of the crazy explosion sect of hunters. And I can't put it into words, but I feel like that makes sense with the heavy and thankless duty he has taken on, almost sacrificing himself to protect and guard the quarantined community of old yharnam where no one else would stand for them. Something about the bull headed determination despite what society might say, a deeply emotional morality and a lifetime among monsters and men.

Like I would not make it as a hunter because I read the sign and was like 'welp none of my business let's turn back' but unfortunately that's the only way to progress!

Old yharnam is pleasingly vertical, very easy to get around despite being very disorienting. I don't know how they managed to make an 'old town' area in the gothic cobblestone wet dream of an old town but they did it and they did it WELL.

I did get stuck on getting the messenger bandages in that one corner of the beast church like seven/eight times (why so harrrrrd) but I only died twice to the frenzied mob of parishioners, so, win! I felt so bad each time, though, like I'm not here to kill anyone I just want to loot the place (and interrogate the sniper) I'll be on my way! Their singing was almost nice, shame they kept spotting me (how?!) and starting up those awful screeches. And then they chased me to the ends of the earth!!! Glowing red eyes!! Very scary!!!!

I've reached the blood starved beast so far, but I know that she's a tough one (and FAST, killed me quick) so I'm going to grind the new areas and crank up the levels. Learn my way around them like I know central like the back of my hand. I'm really good at parrying to visceral (thank you zelda breath of the wild) but bullets are SO EXPENSIVE. WHY.

"As regards women whose monuments depict a livery collar, the traditional supposition which saw ladies as appendages of their husbands should be revised. It may be true that some women did have livery collars depicted on their memorials in right of their husbands, but there are examples of those who were probably awarded a collar for their own royal service [...] Elizabeth Donne, wife of Sir John Donne, is depicted along with her husband wearing a collar of suns and roses with a white lion pendant in Hans Memling’s Donne Triptych. As she was one of Queen Elizabeth Woodville’s gentlewomen, receiving a £10 annuity, it is likely that she received a collar in this capacity. The same can be said of Margaret, wife of Nicholas Gaynesford (d. 1498), whose brass at All Saints’, Carshalton (Surrey), survives. Although her husband has no collar, Margaret is depicted in a ‘choker’ collar of suns and roses. According to the tomb inscription, she served in the households of both Elizabeth Woodville and her daughter Elizabeth of York."

Part 2!

Part 1 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6

Pictures and experiences under the cut!

....I'll just... act suprised when I go there...

I'd like to thank Alfred this succes :)

(admiring continues)

Doll at home:

Is this THE Micolash? I've seen waaay too many very....interesting fanarts of him. Don't keep him to yourself game, I wanna meet him.

And now, this is the part we picked up the game again. Meet my brother-in-law! His character is Nic Cage :D

I did a lot of running around alone, defeated some bosses, but I didn't want to progress to Amelia until I wasn't strong enough, so

OK

I made friends with Djura, all shooting forgiven (didn't get hit that much,so it's fine)

My guy just looks so goofy next to Nic Cage, like a cartoon character 😭

His silhouette.... Didn't make any pictures of it, but Yurie was very tough for us, we had to try to kill her like 3 times :') Even summoned Damian for that, and he lived! To die to Rom :D

Now, this is the best color so far~

I went a couple of days without playing lies of p and somehow in that time my brain reverted to bloodborne tactics and I tried to press L2 to shoot an enemy as he was attacking with a gun that I do NOT have
