My favorite chalice dungeon enemy behavior is when a bloodsucker appears in a room you previously cleared, sucking on a corpse. It's a clever reuse of assets, it fits with the worldbuilding, and it makes the backtracking feel special.
It actually only ever happens when you kill an enemy with a riposte. And it's random on whether bloodsuckers will appear sucking blood of enemies you reposted or not.
(Edit): also in order for the bloodsuckers to spawn, you have to leave the room and walk back which basically unloads and reloads the room.
I was wondering why one would just be there after clearing a room
@@Boc_theSeamsterAre you 100% sure? Cuzz I play Rakyou on the dagger and sabre style most of the time and my off hand is flamer so I cant really parry but I still had some bloodsuckers appear in most of my runs, idk why that might be cuz your theory seems pretty much solid
@@KurdeQd You should look it up. You also don't have to parry in order to riposte.
@@Boc_theSeamster Actually yeah now that u mentioned ot backstabbing leads to visceral so that probably why
I always found it interesting how the chalice dungeons feature enemies that leaned more towards dark medieval fantasy rather than what we find in the main game.
It's also cool the see the many itteration of FromSoft enemies. A good number of those we see in the video can be linked back to some dark souls enemies, while some others like the Blood Letting Beast has a lot of similarities to the Guardian Ape in Sekiro.
The medieval-ness is to show how long the Hunt has been going on. The unhooded Yarhagul Headpiece also adds to this.
In chalise dungeons, if you look carefully, you can spot corpses that wear medieval style knights armor.
I'm fairly certain (though it could just be a rumor) that in alpha builds, the Chalice Dungeons were originally conceived as the remains of Boletaria from Demon's Souls. In the current game you can even spot some corpses wearing the Fluted Set
Bloodborne really has some of the most grotesque and disgusting looking enemies but also some of the more creative enemy designs.
I'm fascinated by the fact so many enemies are super hidden, have practically no lore, and only appear a handful of time, in completely optional randomized levels. That alone makes Bloodborne legendary.
It was literally Bloodborne’s worst aspect.
@@thebigenchilada678it literally isn’t, that would be the frame rate
Funny how thats in all the games lmao
@@HHTwice i’d argue the dodge mechanic’s is it’s fundamentally worst quality being based on the direction your character’s facing as opposed to the actual direction you input. Framerate sucks sure, but dodging the opposite direction you intended to because the enemy your locked onto has the forward momentum of an F16 and flips your character 180 degrees is far more annoying.
That aside, as far as gameplay implementations go, the chalice dungeons suck hardest. Nobody likes having weapon progression tied to a tedious and boring grind coupled with RNG.
Happens also in Dark Souls
I wonder how many people just skipped out on the chalice dungeons because they thought it was just a purely randomly generated mode.
it was like an endless mercenaries mode
I love them it gives that diablo loot felling
As much as I loved it i also hated it
For me, it was the spiders. Hated the spiders.
@@meloneatingwolf1882 i hate the Chime Maiden's. Especially when there's two of them in Depth 5 dungeons and 7 summoned spiders run towards you in a small corridor.

24:57 The madman is the most horrifying of the bunch for me. Its speed, moveset, screams and overall desing is frightening. Those Pthumerians were uncanny as hell.
It also wields a fucking corpse as a weapon.
@@Faude18 And that corpse is twitching and moving on its own. 💯
I remember how awesome it was to hear about the chalice mole enemy. I dont remember ever getting to see it myself.
Maybe I should explore a few root chalices sometime.
You're not likely to ever see it because 1. you'll only see it in a root chalice, and it is quite literally the rarest enemy in the entire game. Like finding the Noble Slender's Sword, just an enemy instead. Root chalices having randomly generated enemies means you may never ever see it lol as only a select few people have seen the labyrinth mole in their game.
@bishopjordan9482 as one of those lucky few, lemme tell ya, it's a magical experience
I mean, I didn't stumble into it randomly. I heard about it, and looked up a glyph. It would be quite a thing to just....run into, after you think you've seen everything in the game.
14:50 damn, the tomb guardian is SHREDDED
Okay, hear me out
@@gonzalo9585no…. Just…….no
Literally!
@@gonzalo9585
Speak! I'll hear you out!
This game is an art direction marvel. It is truly a masterpiece.
And yet, somehow people will claim video games are not art...
@@BaldorfBreakdowns I used to think that. I thought that games can have art IN them, but I guess a game itself could be considered art.
Huh, the faces of the Loran Clerics are strongly reminiscent of the Omensmirk Mask in Elden Ring.
So the scorpions have human features +👁 how insightful
I actually saw that they have human features a while back. Getting a closer look here and seeing that the faces on their heads are actually decoys, and that their real eyes and mouth are elsewhere made them a lot less creepy to me actually
i almost wonder if it is wearing a corpse as skin suit. It seems pretty taut across it and you can see where the scorpions actual eyes are. Also the babies don't look as hairy but that just might be a limit to the detail they can put on the model.
careful now, you might start seeing things
@@primeEmu16 I don't know, the spiders used to be human why not the scorpions?
@@happynihilist2573 WAIT THE SPIDERS WERE HUMAN??
Makes me wonder what kind of horrors the artists had to consult when making some of these models.
(Bloodletting Beast, Madman, Hole Digger)
Probably inspired by nature too. Sometimes reality is the best inspiration. Take something to the extreme and with darker twist and VOILÀ!
I mean, a lot of these are just extreme versions of things that happen naturally to human corpses with enough time in the ground. A significant number of our mythological monsters likely stem from people being understandably freaked out upon finding dead people in bizarre states of decay. (Werner Herzog voice) "Truly nature is the most horrifying monster of all."
Amazing how after all these years there's still some enemies I've never encountered.
24:35 - shout-out to the most terrifying, crackhead-esque enemy in the game.
Bloodborne is stil an unmatched masterpiece.
Peppa Pig the Videogame Better 🗿
Be careful you know what they do to pigs in Bloodbornerne.
Sorry I do not like being Bloodius Bornert in Birmingham.
19:35 Jerma...
The scorpion face is pretty interesting. It looks very similar to the face of the locus creatures from the Ringed City
My favourite part of Soulsborne enemies is realizing "Oh this was human once" (or Pthumerian in this case) and then having an existential crisis.
You’ve been eating Insight haven’t you? Drain out that stuff from your head and keep hunting, hunter. Thinking doesn’t get you blood echoes.
I will forever be salty we never got the Keeper of the Old Lords weapon.
Especially since we had a criminally short list of 1 whole fire weapon in the game lol
That and the logarious scythe n sword combo
I like the kinda castlevania/medieval look these enemies have compared to the ones in the main game. I wouldn’t be surprised if these where cut enemies that the devs just didn’t have the heart to throw away. Chalice dungeons are so much more interesting than I thought when I first played.
Wish the dungeon was connected to main game yharnam, so you could actually walk into the dungeons instead of magically teleporting there
thats the only thing a remaster could possibly address
That's what Fromsoft wished too! Entering chalices from the bottom of Byrgenwerth was scrapped. Byrgenwerth was planned to be a one big building with the lecture halls and the lunarium.
Heard that the collapsed tunnel in Cainhurst was going to be another way to enter the Labyrinth. Would make sense since the Vilebloods had their own source of Old Blood.
@@jacobhoover1654 which tunnel in Cainhurst? is it located in game or on files only?
@@DeadPig325I would assume the collapsed tunnel outside the entrance to cainhurst, where the worms come out of the wall, but I’m not sure.
The amounts of enemies in this game is crazy for how short is (or at least how short it feels to me, its like a fever dream). I have played BB for 1k hours and never seen some of these enemies in the dungeons, crazy stuff
alright yes ill revisit Bloodborne for the 19th time this year
Aight you convinced me.
I should really replay Bloodborne, considering I replayed all the other soulsborne games I own
Revisiting it 100 times a year is the bare minimum. It calls for you
Fun fact: all Watchers with dual daggers are bugged and have several times more HP than their counterparts.
Fun fact 2: In Loran you can encounter enemies with a red pulsating aura - they have less HP but regain health with their every hit. Corpse wielding Madmen/Sages with this buff spread poison mist with each swing, and every point of poison buildup they inflict heals them as well.
If it weren’t for this video I’d never of known what the loran cleric’s face looked like. It’s more like a goblin than a beast and that’s fascinating. I’ve never seen that animation either, I always kill them from a distance. Amazing work VN
Starting think why Bloodborne is my favorite is because every enemy is its own horrific nightmare.
Awww the gravekeeper is such a good momma keeping her babies on her back.
Even if they would only have one form, I really wish we could've gotten to use the chalice dungeon weapons. It would be awesome having them be arcane or some other neat effect, but because they lack a different form they can be balanced by having pitiful range or speed. The option to have them would have been nice
I'm side-eyeing the hell out of that Loran Cleric and the shape of his staff...
I remember when I woke up beast-possessed soul and ran away, and then I looted the chest I just noticed that it killed every single enemy in dungeon. That was creepy asf
Thanks bro, I hate the labyrinth madman more now, the only thing in the game that runs at 60fps
I had NO idea that the scorpion was so horrific. Possibly the most horrific.
Edit: Rite Keeper
I thought the Beast-Possessed Soul was also in the base game? At the bottom of the Healing Workshop tower thing. Anyway, great video BonfireVN! 😊
yes
Yep it's the only place it shows up outside of the chalice dungeons. One of the only enemies from said dungeons yo make an appearance outside of them. Pretty cool!
Abhorrent beast appears outside as well.
I can't take him seriously cause he looks like Goofy way too much 😂😂
When you look at them closely you can easily imagine that there was something like a cult of pain in Loran... All these chains, and bruises, and... terrifying changes of their bodies... It's just like they were used to feel pain, a lot of pain, and now they're doomed to exist like that for eternity and even more...
No wonder they've lost their mind... this is an awful existence...
the beast possessed soul appears in the main game, before the Hunter's workshop
Same for the Abhorrent Beast, as the Suspicious Beggar transforms into one when provoked
But the annoying pig boss got left out.
Beast-possessed Soul and Abhorrent Beast can both be found outside the chalice dungeons.
Beast-possessed Soul resides at the base of the Cathedral Ward Tower, below the real workshop banging on a door with their back to you.
Abhorrent Beast is the true form of the man in the clockwork tower that houses the cannon in the Forbidden Woods.
For some reason I EXTREMELY love the Beast-Possessed Soul so freakin cool
I just wanted to say: Your videos are really great and interesting. I think you and your videos are an important part of the Souls community. Please never stop making such great videos of character models and concept art. You have a great channel and deserve every single like. Therefore - as always - a big thumbs up. 👍👍
Amazing. I was thinking about this exact topic a few days ago, wondering just how much i missed by noy throughly going through the CD.
And here ypu are w this amazing video! Perfect timing and thank you!
Only wish i would have gotten some explanations w the enemies but thats just me being greedy.
One of my favorite things about bloodborne is how a ton of the enemies you can see that they were human once. It really adds to the horror in a more subtle way since you constantly hear about how people are turning to beasts and see it obviously early on with the yarhnamites but then you see something like the scorpion or the hole digger which still has these very human attributes and see just how horrifying the beast plague really is. Genuinely think bloodborne has one of the worst worlds to live in purely because of the off chance of catching the beast plague. Plus the fact that anyone can be trapped in the hunters dream seemingly unwillingly in a lot of cases
The keepers dogs are probably the most difficult dog type enemy in any fromsoft game
Yes and no. Like all Bloodborne dogs, you can knock 'em down with a gunshot, and get a few free hits in. The trick is to separate them from each other, and from their master. Dealing with all three at once is a bad idea. You gotta throw a knife or a pebble or something to lure 'em one at a time.
20:40 I found it. A being that has a number of chins that surpass my mother.
I must congratulate you for that is a truly difficult task
Wow very impressive underground ecosystem👁️👁️👁️
BonfireVN, I love your channel so much, I just had to subscribe!
You can actually find regular mobs of the pthumerian elder/descendant just roaming around in root chalice dungeons. I found that out by complete accident, I about pissed myself because I saw it at a distance and was confused about what it even was until I got closer. I never bolted out of a treasure cache so fast before.
I'm fascinated by the fact that the Loran cleric has the face of a Japanese Oni. With the wicked open smile and hollow evil eye sockets and teeth
I'm playing Bloodborne for the first time, right tonight going for the platinum I discovered Loran and I'm so amazed by it's setting, it's true that is something repetitive in general but so many things on the dungeons are worth to explore and see!
Edit: Labyrinth Madmen probably are the most unnerving enemies of the entire game😳 and I have a problem with snakes but they creep me even more
I don't want to nitpick, but I do feel the urge to point out that the Beast-Possessed Soul and the Abhorrent Beast do in fact appear outside of Chalice Dungeons. Admittedly it's somewhat easy to miss them, and they don't respawn when killed, but they're there all the same.
Tfw those giant naked mole rats have brains for jaws, meaning they were human once and this is what they "ascended" to
Mfw this is what we ascend to at the end of the game
I get a strong Omen feeling when seeing the horns petrude from these enemies, and the fire inside the watcher and watch dog. Makes you wonder if this game shares elements with the omen curse and lords of cinder in the hidden lore
Since the undead giants appear to be made of stitched together body parts, I wonder if they are related in some way to The One Reborn. Both are amalgamations of body parts, and both are related to the Pthumerians. Perhaps undead giants were an early attempt to ascend?
In all my dungeon trips in the past 9 years I've yet to see those moles
And this really makes me wish they brought more of these into Elden ring, bloodborne had so many damn enemies
That enemy's running animation is peak horror comedy 21:31 at 21:47
I don't mean to be petty but just as an FYI to people who are wondering/don't know, one Beast-possessed Soul and one Abhorrent Beast can be found outside of the chalice dungeons. Great video as always.
3:27
Do not hurt blobby thing
Bloodborne truly had some random horror creatures you see only handful of times.
I been telling players on the Discord that they are missing out on half the game by not doing dungeons. More proof here with your video. Thank you for your labor. Peace
Can you please continue doing this for other elements/parts of Bloodborne, I’m so used to seeing it in 720p so this is a treat
i love the video my favorite one is the keeper hunting dogs and the other two dogs besides hunting and rapid dog and including the silver variant in the chalice dungeons
The funniest enemy "actually not showcased here" is that one guy hidden in hintertomb that is an amalgamation of the hooded guys and the normal guys and dies in one hit for some reason....
Also chalice have the best fromsoft slimes cause they actually have a fun moveset as opposed to just being a walking gel sponge with one attack
Lastly the giants... The 2 cannon giants in the poison swamp... I remember screaming a bit when i saw that sight
As for bosses the bloodletting beast is an amazing fight in both of its versions and of course who can forget the watchdog... We all love and hate that puppy its 2nd encounter is a git gud momment and i lover it
Also pthumerian elders are such a cool concept i wish they do a similar fight but a but more polished like you know more moves cause he really has a limited moveset despite the fact he can wield so many fire weapons
Lastly queen of yharnam is such a great fight with so many phases "the most phases in the entire Bloodborne" if you never done chalices do it for the queen she is worth the time
Morgott is basically the successor to Pthumerian Elder, and yeah the slimes in BB feel more like slimes than Aldrich
@@altarf2582 i know but the elders have their whole teleporting around thingy which is what I wanna see, a guy constantly teleporting around and summoning different weapons with each teleport it's such a great concept but well as I said their moveset are limited so it gets predictable... Imagine if they had morgots moveset how scary they would be your heart would clench at every teleport which fits Bloodborne perfectly
I always liked how one of the dungeon hunter summons, Queen Killer, has two meanings in his name. One from the fact he’s in the Pthumerian Queen’s domain and the other from his Executioner’s helmet given to those who oppose the Vileblood Queen
12:20 - that's John Darksoul the III on his vacation in London he mentioned going to catacombs there.
17:30 - vermin ridden carcass of a beast like this one were the source of blood that turned most yharnamites into werewolfs, and their blood was from great one beast, blood of ebryatas made celestial emissaries and living falures.
thanks for the video, you are great
I still play this game doing random Chalice dungeons to this day. Love this game
Theory (though I don't know if anyone has postulated this before): The Loran Cleric and the Beast-Possesed Soul are both from Loran and have interesting lore implications on how the Loran viewed the Beast Plague. So first of all, I posit that both are related due to having very similar ram-like horns and both appearing in the Loran Chalice Dungeons. So what are the implications? I posit that similar to the Healing Church, the Loran had a priesthood/religious element when it came to the Old Blood. However, unlike the Healing Church and their predecessors the scholars of Byrgenwerth who viewed the Beast Plague from a somewhat scientific viewpoint and medicalized the Beast Plague the ancient Loran viewed it as a matter of demonic position. Hence the moniker of "Beast-Possesed Soul" rather than Beast Plagued or infected. I further theorize that the Loran clerics acted in a similar role to the Beast Hunters who rather than hunt attempted to exorcise the Beast "Spirit" from their countrymen. And like the Beast Hunters became Beast themselves over time.
Bloodborne was the peak of the Soulsborne franchise.
I said before and i say again, best game ever
Gosh, these are terrifying... I love them!
Nice! I just completed all chalice dungeons a couple days ago! 😀
29:55 You can see a bloody spike drive itself through Queen Yharnam's back whenever she stabs herself with the knife. It goes right through the opposite side of her belly. Very disturbing and sad imagery given that she is, or was, pregnant. Just another torment for her.
While I agree with the sentiment, I think that's actually the spike that would normally appear to attack the player, but because it's being viewed in isolation in whatever software this is, it's just appearing at the same position as the queen herself
Beast-Possessed Soul, the werewolf with horns, actually appear in the normal game, on the alternative path to the Cathedral Ward through the Lower Cathedral Ward.
You can see the beast possessed soul at the bottom of the Workshop Tower
Beautiful.
Bonfire no Maiku delivering good content
I’m sure dozens of others have already mentioned this but you can find a Beast-possessed Soul and Abhorrent Beast outside the Chalice Dungeons. (Technically Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen as well, but she arguably doesn’t count since she can’t be fought)
Labrynth madman really needa run track 💀 fast ah
8:42 never got that one before.
Does anyone else have the feeling that the Chalice dungeons were a way to reuse already made enemies from an earlier build of the game's life cycle? It would explain why they seem to fleshed out and relatively complete.
I love those enemies. They're such fun to play against.
I wish there was npc fights of the Pthumerian bosses...
I remember the first time I played through Bloodborne I didn't even realize there were Chalice Dungeons. I was so confused why the game that felt so small was praised si high by everyone. Then I found out there was a roguelite built into it and I was like "oh"
Could you do one like this for the weapons of Bloodborne? Maybe even show in slow motion how they mechanically transform. I think that be cool to see.
20:20 holy shit fear and hunger
The models in bloodborne are so detailed and complicated, it's amazing, these are the kinds of things I'd expect to see on a ps5 game, but this game was released in 2015!
Never knew the Yharnam at the Moonside Lake and right before the Wetnurse are actually different.
OK the hole diggers.... WHAT? I've never seen these. And the pilgrim i saw ONCE after about 40 hours in the chalice dungeons. I was so taken aback when i saw it.
15:05 GYATT!!!
30 minutes?! We're eating good tonight.
I wonder what the lore significance of Bloodletting beasts back being split open is, also interesting to see the visual similarities between the larvae/centipede thing coming out of it’s head and the hole digger.
It looks like they took a lot of inspiration for the omens for elden ring from this game
Thanks man
12:05
“Hey I can almost see straight down the barrel “
New Vegas kid reference?
The tomb guardian has some cheeks ong
3:53
It's an eldritch cat dog
Alone in the world is an eldritch cat-dog.
Absolute godtier showcase. The chalice dungeons are still so fascinating
They certainly nailed the horror theme with these monsters. I could imagine these Eldrich abominations in Lovecraft or Stephen King stories.
Hi!
Do you have any idea of how to load "human-shape" npcs in DSAnimStudio? I'm trying to load Alfred, Annalise and some others but I can't find the files.
Прошу, нам нужен детальный угол обзора на охотников! Я хочу увидеть лицо Витуса....
В чашах очень много интересных охотников, это нужно для Лора, я бы очень сильно хотел взглянуть за завес тайны, заранее спасибо, Вы сделали очень большую работу.
I found the undead giants especially creepy. It’s like Frankensteins monster but dialed up to 20
You also forgot about the Church Giants and the Guys that wear the white robes with the metal canes. They are also of the Pthumerian Race.
Are they? Do we have lore for that or is it that they just look similar?
@@yourdad5799 yes, the Church just took some of them of their underground City's and used some of them for experiments because in the old hunters dlc we can see some of the in the Lab where the healing church did their experiments. It also makes sense because the Pthumerians knew and worshipped the old ones. I can also see the healing Church getting a bunch of them and converting them to their faith and with the beast Plauge they probably used them as extra muscle
I didn’t know like half of these existed
