Going from Bloodborne to Dark Souls 1 is like going from an ecstasy-induced shoe-stealing spree at an abandoned warehouse rave to a Sunday family barbecue in the suburbs.

Incredible how even in a depressing nightmare horror world Shenpai still manages to be thirsty. Forget the Blood-Starved Beast, at this rate she's gonna transform into the Himbo-Starved Her. Edit: she's accompanied by the Bread-Starved Beast apparently lmao
That moment where she says "isn't this a necessary boss though?" followed by "Then what do you mean that 50% of people haven't gotten past this boss?" really just shows how brutal this game is, even for a Soulsborne game. It's kinda like how on the Steam version of Sekiro only 31.5% of the people who own the game have beaten Sword Saint, Isshin but I guess he is the "final" boss. And that's a global stat.
the global stats are fun, because it shows you how many people bought the game without even opening it. 30% of terraria owners haven't cut down a tree, which is the first thing you do.
"I'm gonna be honest: I have no idea where I am." Don't worry Shen, that never goes away. I have multiple saves on NG+9 and I still just kind of stumble through the second part of the forbidden forest.
Love that Lady Maria's name isn't just Lady Maria. It's "Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower". Which has to be one of the coolest boss names in videogames ever.
This is based on the hypothesis of 'water memory', which is a cornerstone of homeopathy, which is disproven by the fact I threw a bottle of aspirin into the ocean and headaches still exist.
Vicar Amelia is an absolutely beautiful boss, truly an amazing design. I also hate her boss fight with a passion because every time I replay bloodborne, it’s one of the only ones that gives me trouble. (besides Orphan and macaroni head.)
I don't know if it's just me, but something about her friends talking just isn't funny or interesting to me. I only really come for shen, she's the actually funny one.

It really makes sense that the Orphan of Kos is considered the toughest boss in the souls borne games, because it is basically a great one's attempt to create a hunter- its an eldritch horror's attempt to create a soulsborne character, no wonder it turned out like this. I heard that one of the original ideas for Micolash was that you would have to chase him through parts of Yharnam proper, he was supposed to lead you to certain setpeices, that is why running away from the MC is his default. In the final product it makes sense since he just doesn't want to die and wants to stay in the nightmare... because he is immortal there? or closer to a great one? I never got his motivation but the Nightmare is his doing (via summoning mergo or something) and thus all the rest of the most fucked up state of the city is due to its influence. I think the Childhood's begining is actually a good ending- after killing a bunch of Great ones, or at least Great One adjacent beings, you get to be a new one, and Hopefully do better than they did- Imagine someone trying what bergenworth, the healing church or mensis did, but the MC great one is the target, knows what is going on, and can either refuse, explain, or do it in a way that doesn't ruing everything and turn it into a gothic horror/ cosmic horror story.
I think the description for the squid ending is something like "help humanity ascend to the next step" and that sounds pretty good to me. Better than slavery to moon tentacles at least
I think that was very much the intention behind that ending. Pretty sure the trophy description says something along the lines of "Ascend humanity into its next childhood."

Surprised that Shen didn’t take AT LEAST two hours in designing Dilfsworth. No one person can create such a majestic, DILF-swooning creature in that short amount of time.
The endings being good or bad really depend on your view. There really isn't a "good" or "bad" ending period. The first ending you wake up and go on with your life... which is going to be very short since you're sick. You came seeking Pale Blood to cure yourself of *something* after all. The second ending you essentially become immortal, but are trapped in the dream with only the Doll, the Moon Presence, and any hunter that shows up as company. On the other hand you've freed everyone else from their own nightmare and know that one day someone will step in to take up the dream and set you free too. It's the worst ending for you personally, but you at least put everyone else to rest. The last ending is really only bad if you view being human as special. You pretty much trade you're humanity to become a god. You're really freer then any human would ever be and understand more of the world then any person could ever manage. Even with the inhumane aspect the Great Ones *aren't* evil. Everyone that knows anything about them in game says they're sympathetic in nature and will *try* to help if they can. Key word being try. The whole game is actually them trying to help people and their lack of understanding humans making their help backfire horribly. Presumably you, as a Great One, wouldn't have this flaw since you were born human.
I would like to correct this 1 year old comment The character already got cured of whatever they were sick with when they received the blood transfusion in the start of the game if they were sick at all Paleblood isn't the same thing as the old blood, the old blood is the blood that makes people turn into beasts, cures diseases and injuries Paleblood however seems to be specifically related to the moon presence; meaning the hunter doesn't die from sickness in the first ending, but they still failed their main objective because they didn't confront or meet the Moon presence
I'm glad that Shen had a lot of fun in this series. However, the thing that cracks me up the most is KT being the mentor when they were once the wide eyed hunter in this game. Now they're so used to the BS and fuckery Bloodborne offers.
Bloodborne isn't just my favorite Soulsborne game. It's my favorite game ever. A setting that transitions from monster hunting to Lovecraftian horror while still giving the player the power to fighting back. Trick weapons, creepy enemies, horrifying bosses, awesome music, and excellent level design.Absolutely nothing like it. Story is very well made if you have the patience to listen to lore tellers like Vaatividya.
I played this shit when it first came out and I fell in love immediately. I recently got my PS4 fix (Due to my brother breaking the HDMI port). I got back on and still enjoying it so much and rewatching lore videos. I'm trying to platinum the game.
I feel like it's the reason she always ends up underleveled in later areas. She still beats them which is impressive, but there's a part of me that is just continuously nervous because she has that many echoes
I feel like going from Orphan of Kos and admitting defeat and then going to fucking Micolash of all bosses is like going from living in the trenches of WW1 as the guy who was sent to no man’s land every day from sunrise to sunset to chasing your cat around the room cause he has something in his mouth
The thing about cummmpfk is there's a hunter enemy that spawns on a bridge with swinging axes. But because of the distance, he is in what is called Omission Mode and has no movement or AI.
Fun fact: because of how the "phase" works, the purple fog that Mergo does that makes copies of herself functions like an invisible explosion that deals no damage and takes up the entire stage. But because of this, you can dodge thru the "attack" with the most precise of timings and skip it entirely!
@@EldenMergo Wait...if Kos can assist its Orphan by summoning lightning...and the recently discovered rollback of the Wetnurse cutscene shows the Wetnurse/Succubus picking up and basically hiding away/absorbing an invisible Mergo...couldn't Mergo have technically participated in the Wetnurse Bossfight without us knowing? Maybe some of the Arcane magic/teleportation/fog is his doing? .... BUT THAT'S _JUST A THEORY!_
Watching shen kill the first 2 bosses while having only died around 8 times really destroys me. I played for like 3 hours yesterday and all I managed to do was get lost and die like 40 times.
I think a lot of the difficulty with Kos is that you weren't able to spend time grinding the chalice dungeons. While it's not needed to defeat Kos, the upgrades you get from the dungeons can be very powerful. Like getting a free 25% or more attack boost or granting passive health regen.
I swear, Shen's editors are like old timey miners. They dig through a mountain of dirt to find the shiny bits, melt them all down, polish it up and somehow manage to make gold.
Sees Shen absolutely bodying Ludwing: wait, something is not right Sees Shen getting absolutely bodied by all other DLC bosses: it's all coming together
4:16 Absolutely nothing. I also adore Bloodborne's Trenchcoat-Tricorne style. My amount of adoration for it is probably on par with yours, since I bought both IRL and now wear it essentially whenever I go outside. I was late to Bloodborne (and this video) but I just love the game so much. Shame I spoiled the story for myself due to watching Vaati's videos on it a lot. On another note, I WANT MORE GAMES WITH TRICK WEAPONS.
Shenpai I just wanted to say thank you, as I've been suffering from a previous relationship mentally but watching this made want to play Bloodeborne and Bloodeborne has really been helping me getting over her, so I wanted to say thank you, also now I've figured out that I really like the souls born franchise
I relate to Shen's plight. I killed Ludwig my first try using only one blood vial, but had multiple attempts on the Living Failures, for some reason they were just hitting harder. Maria is a great fight, but her parry windows are the size of a jumbo jet, so I didn't really have problems with her either.
For me it was: DS1 - I like this game -> I LOVE this game DS2 - I like this game -> I hate this game -> it’s not bad DS3 - I LOVE THIS GAME -> I LOVE THIS GAME BB - I HATE this game - I LOVE THIS GAME
For me bloodborne was an instant like. I had trouble getting into dark souls because it was slow and punishing, and encouraged too often patience when i like agressivity. Of course i loved it later on, but bloodborne immediately gave me a feeling of balance : i still had to be careful but i was much more rewarded for being agressive. Not to mention the parry is my favorite in any fromsoft game.
"People who are afraid of snakes will hate it here!" Fun story! I was going through this game with my buddy who has a plat trophy for it. He told me that there was a very good rune in a certain location and all I had to do was jump and run for it. I was instantly jumped by the snakes as I picked up the item. To this day I have never felt more fear than I did that instant.
I stumbled on this video and i have to say, not at all what i was expecting but i got some good laughs. 10/10 content! Also great to see a wonderful game still get love.
Shenpai out here speaking the horny truth of the trick weapons. That and the gothic aesthetics are what drew me to this game in the first place. Glad you're loving the game and the souls series in general Shenpai!!
@@smoker5989 it's still always funny to see gamers react to an enemy use a mechanic that gamers abuse to the heatdeath of the universe & go "well THAT'S not fair."
Can I say how much I love Shens laugh? They make me laugh from just laughing! Does anyone else have this or is it just me? Keep doing amazing with the souls games Shen and may the stubbornness keep your blood boiling with pure skill and stubbornness.

The last ending is really only bad if you view being human as special. You pretty much trade you're humanity to become a god. You're really freer then any human would ever be and understand more of the world then any person could ever manage. Even with the inhumane aspect the Great Ones *aren't* evil. Everyone that knows anything about them in game says they're sympathetic in nature and will *try* to help if they can. Key word being try. The whole game is actually them trying to help people and their lack of understanding humans making their help backfire horribly. Presumably you, as a Great One, wouldn't have this flaw since you were born human.
I would like to correct this 1 year old comment
The character already got cured of whatever they were sick with when they received the blood transfusion in the start of the game if they were sick at all
Paleblood isn't the same thing as the old blood, the old blood is the blood that makes people turn into beasts, cures diseases and injuries Paleblood however seems to be specifically related to the moon presence; meaning the hunter doesn't die from sickness in the first ending, but they still failed their main objective because they didn't confront or meet the Moon presence
We have been graced once again.
Guided by grace once lost?
I'm glad that Shen had a lot of fun in this series. However, the thing that cracks me up the most is KT being the mentor when they were once the wide eyed hunter in this game. Now they're so used to the BS and fuckery Bloodborne offers.
I'm just glad he's not recommending a Canon run again lol
@@ashikjaman1940 it wasn’t even cannon build, it was just a bayonetta pistol dual wield xd
Bloodborne isn't just my favorite Soulsborne game. It's my favorite game ever.
A setting that transitions from monster hunting to Lovecraftian horror while still giving the player the power to fighting back. Trick weapons, creepy enemies, horrifying bosses, awesome music, and excellent level design.Absolutely nothing like it.
Story is very well made if you have the patience to listen to lore tellers like Vaatividya.
Couldn’t agree more
I played this shit when it first came out and I fell in love immediately. I recently got my PS4 fix (Due to my brother breaking the HDMI port). I got back on and still enjoying it so much and rewatching lore videos. I'm trying to platinum the game.
The reason I love this game is because of the final boss with Gehrman effectively being a battle between who mercy kills who.
Paleblood Hunt is also very enlightening.
@@sleepysin9821 first and only game on ps4 that ive platinum. Still need to do the dlc quests for the weapons and laurence lmao i love this game
23:19 Watch her blood echoes, the summon is out there killing EVERYTHING
the contrast between her exasperation fighting orphan of kos immediately followed by milkys utter delight at mikolash fucking kills me every time
19:28 Shen picks up a madman’s knowledge. Appropriate for the absolutely batshit discussion they were having.
There are two bloodborne players
Shenpai: absolute h u n k
TFS: drunklstilskin
There is no inbetween
*d r i n k!*
Then wtf is KT
Why not both
@@stormhawkdude the duality of fighting Ludwig
I present to you a third option. Toucan Dan.
Shen just casually walking into a new area with over 100k echoes waiting to get her shit rocked
I feel like it's the reason she always ends up underleveled in later areas.
She still beats them which is impressive, but there's a part of me that is just continuously nervous because she has that many echoes
You gain enough levels 100k isn't worth it it's about 2 levels
@@cagethelonewolf while that may be true, Shen, definitely *_wasn't_* at that level though.
I feel like going from Orphan of Kos and admitting defeat and then going to fucking Micolash of all bosses is like going from living in the trenches of WW1 as the guy who was sent to no man’s land every day from sunrise to sunset to chasing your cat around the room cause he has something in his mouth
The thing about cummmpfk is there's a hunter enemy that spawns on a bridge with swinging axes. But because of the distance, he is in what is called Omission Mode and has no movement or AI.
"What do you mean only 50% of people have beaten this boss?"
Hearty chuckles were had.
WHEN YOU SAID SOON I WASNT EXPECTING THIS SOON I AM OVERCOME WITH JOY
Fun fact: because of how the "phase" works, the purple fog that Mergo does that makes copies of herself functions like an invisible explosion that deals no damage and takes up the entire stage. But because of this, you can dodge thru the "attack" with the most precise of timings and skip it entirely!
That's super cool :D
Mergo isn't the Wet Nurse, but yeah that's a pretty cool tip
@@EldenMergo Well, in some interpretations it is Mergo, or at least a manifestation.
@@Anarchomancer That might be true, but it's never explicitly stated
@@EldenMergo Wait...if Kos can assist its Orphan by summoning lightning...and the recently discovered rollback of the Wetnurse cutscene shows the Wetnurse/Succubus picking up and basically hiding away/absorbing an invisible Mergo...couldn't Mergo have technically participated in the Wetnurse Bossfight without us knowing? Maybe some of the Arcane magic/teleportation/fog is his doing?
.... BUT THAT'S _JUST A THEORY!_
I don't know who this woman is, I don't know how she got on my recommended feed, but I love her now
Two of the best parts are as follows.
1) The bread absorbing the memories of the soup analogy that I somehow understood.
2) The NO Rave.
Every time I eat soup, bread bowl or no bread bowl, that conversation plays in my head, word for word.
You understood that ?! I guess I don’t have enough insight
The bread bowl tastes like the soup because it absorbs the liquid, therefore the memories of the soup are passed onto the bread bowl.
The NO rave?
@@wilcowhiteheart807 Y'know, when Shen kept shouting no and the subtitles flashed different colors.
Shen: What, PETA is worried? They worried I'd get a higher killstreak than them?
Me: and that, kids, is how I learned to simp
“I feel like I figured out something I shouldn’t have figured out.”
I’m gonna go to Shen’s grave and harvest that Madman’s knowledge
(:
can we just talk about how cool the thumbnail art looks?
Thank you!!!
I didn't notice it until after finishing the video, but it's slick. Always love that kind of mask :3
Watching shen kill the first 2 bosses while having only died around 8 times really destroys me. I played for like 3 hours yesterday and all I managed to do was get lost and die like 40 times.
First time I played that game I was up fighting gascoigne from 10pm until 2am
I think a lot of the difficulty with Kos is that you weren't able to spend time grinding the chalice dungeons. While it's not needed to defeat Kos, the upgrades you get from the dungeons can be very powerful. Like getting a free 25% or more attack boost or granting passive health regen.
I'm glad someone else had the Maria experience of "yo this is cool" amd then dying 50 times unsure of what was done wrong lol
I swear, Shen's editors are like old timey miners. They dig through a mountain of dirt to find the shiny bits, melt them all down, polish it up and somehow manage to make gold.
Maria slapping Shen around made me very happy after she two-attempted Ludwig lmfao.
It's honestly what I deserved.
I hope you take knowledge that in a second file I tried to defeat ludwig again and it took me 27 tries orz

Let us all give thanks to Shen's editor for putting this together. For truly, we have been blessed. :D
At the "And then along came Zeus!" part i fucking LOST it

@Jobbert I went to that point in the video and an ad for a product named "Hercules" played. Along came Zeus indeed.

“I feel very lost, I don’t know where I am.” That’s how you know you’re going in the right direction in Bloodborne
Sees Shen absolutely bodying Ludwing: wait, something is not right
Sees Shen getting absolutely bodied by all other DLC bosses: it's all coming together
Ahhh...a new hunter joins the flock! Congrats shen. Good to find new fans
Shen picking up Madman knowledge during the bread soup lecture. best timing
Shen is the bread the knowledge is soup we are the ones eating
4:16 Absolutely nothing. I also adore Bloodborne's Trenchcoat-Tricorne style. My amount of adoration for it is probably on par with yours, since I bought both IRL and now wear it essentially whenever I go outside.
I was late to Bloodborne (and this video) but I just love the game so much. Shame I spoiled the story for myself due to watching Vaati's videos on it a lot.
On another note, I WANT MORE GAMES WITH TRICK WEAPONS.
Shenpai I just wanted to say thank you, as I've been suffering from a previous relationship mentally but watching this made want to play Bloodeborne and Bloodeborne has really been helping me getting over her, so I wanted to say thank you, also now I've figured out that I really like the souls born franchise
When milky said " max your bimbo is showing" i felt that in my soul
46:12 "I feel like I figured out something that I shouldn't have figured out"
That's the game!
Also HP lovecraft books in a nutshell.
Basically eldritch horror 101
I relate to Shen's plight. I killed Ludwig my first try using only one blood vial, but had multiple attempts on the Living Failures, for some reason they were just hitting harder. Maria is a great fight, but her parry windows are the size of a jumbo jet, so I didn't really have problems with her either.
"What he is isn't important. What he does, now that's important"
such a good line
"The bread absorbs the memories through the soup."
This is your brain on Kingdom Hearts
props to this editor, this is amazing
Going from "I hate this game", to "I love this game" is the true SoulsBorne experience.
For me it was:
DS1 - I like this game -> I LOVE this game
DS2 - I like this game -> I hate this game -> it’s not bad
DS3 - I LOVE THIS GAME -> I LOVE THIS GAME
BB - I HATE this game - I LOVE THIS GAME
For me bloodborne was an instant like. I had trouble getting into dark souls because it was slow and punishing, and encouraged too often patience when i like agressivity. Of course i loved it later on, but bloodborne immediately gave me a feeling of balance : i still had to be careful but i was much more rewarded for being agressive. Not to mention the parry is my favorite in any fromsoft game.
Shen: *Gets ahold of an axe*
Her ancestors: *!FOR GLORY OR FOR NOTHING!*
"The bread absorbs the memories of the soup" is going to live rent-free in my mind forever now, lmao
"Peta would like a word."
"What, are they worried about Shen getting a higher kill streak than them?"
DAMN! Target destroyed!
The reaction to the Micolash fight makes me absolutely crack up.
"People who are afraid of snakes will hate it here!"
Fun story! I was going through this game with my buddy who has a plat trophy for it. He told me that there was a very good rune in a certain location and all I had to do was jump and run for it. I was instantly jumped by the snakes as I picked up the item. To this day I have never felt more fear than I did that instant.
KT is now a Bloodborne expert.
The noob has become the veteran.
(sniff) I'm so proud.
I stumbled on this video and i have to say, not at all what i was expecting but i got some good laughs. 10/10 content! Also great to see a wonderful game still get love.
Shen being unable to tangle with Logarius even after being grossly over levelled is very satisfying.
Now this, this game, this youtuber
These two together
That’s a masterpiece

Shenpai out here speaking the horny truth of the trick weapons. That and the gothic aesthetics are what drew me to this game in the first place. Glad you're loving the game and the souls series in general Shenpai!!
For the record I 100% agree with Shen's version of "The Claw". I just find that way more comfortable

Ah yes then you realize what you figured out has no actual meaning
1:21:16 if Bloodborne's addiction to eyes wasn't obvious enough. Now there are eye spiders in the bottom right of the screen... Eyeders...
Can I say how much I love Shens laugh? They make me laugh from just laughing! Does anyone else have this or is it just me? Keep doing amazing with the souls games Shen and may the stubbornness keep your blood boiling with pure skill and stubbornness.
