    Glad you finally figured it out, but yeah those added elemental gems don't work the way anyone thinks they do. Rather than adding a flat elemental buff like the fire and bolt papers do, they more or less convert your damage entirely into one of the elements, which then means your weapon starts to scale almost entirely off of your arcane stat and not any of your others. It's why your damage was so low for the late-game bosses.

    So, how the boss encounters work is essentially each of the bosses' limbs have a certain amount if health. Depleting the health of one of them staggers the boss, and makes that limb take more damage. The gun parry timer I'm not very familiar with, I think you need to shoot wither as soon as you see their arm move or right before they make contact with you. But most, if not all, enemies are parriable (I think).
    Insight changes the world around you, opens your mind to more things. Getting over certain insight thresholds reveals new enemies and such, like those giant boys (Luke thr Amygdala boss) sticking to walls and crap you can only see over a certain level of insight.

      I def need to use fire more. I usually don’t like using resources. When Blood Starved beast poisoned me I just ate the damage because I didn’t think I would have to use Antidotes. I used oil and Moly to do a ton of damage but didn’t use fire paper because meh I play on hard mode sometimes. Killed 4-5 bosses so far and didn’t die. But I aim to kill every boss in all of Fromsofts games. Beat Sekiro, DS1-3 and working on Bloodborne. I’ve killed about half the bosses in every game on the first try and died max 4 times.

      ER is kinda objectively the peak, if anything in sheer terms of development and what they achieved. BB is amazing but also I feel like it's a bit overrated due to the forbidden fruit effect, as the game is stuck on the PS4 and hasn't had an accessible modern release in 9 years. I expect the community feelings of sheer adoration for it to shift to more realistic levels once it gets a proper modern release like a remaster or PC port.

      ​@steel5897 no bloodborne is definitely their best game.
      You're arguing in favor of elden ring based on technical achievement. Aka how impressive it is that they made the souls formula work as an open world, and did a good job at it.
      However arguing in terms of artistic merit and just simply how the games feel, bloodborne easily wins this. It's a much more stylistically distinct and creative game.
      They basically made the best cosmic horror material out there when they created bloodborne.
      Music was easily the best in bloodborne. Fromsoft usually falls into a trap with their music where they have really loud overbearing orchestras that sound very messy and poorly composed, with occasional gems of songs that shine through. Even dark souls 3 suffered that trap.
      Bloodborne however has incredibly cleanly orchestrated music that is hardly ever overbearing. Each song sounds distinct too. It's the only game of theirs where they clearly considered the style and asthetic of the world of the game and allowed it to influence the OST.
      Elden rings music essentially plays 2nd fiddle to dark souls 3's music, and both are beat by bloodborne.
      As for combat, trick weapons are both far more impressive on a technical achievement level, and are stylistically way cooler and more interesting than ashes of war.
      I can turn a cane into a chain whip, enough said.
      And obviously the art direction, asthetic and area design is much better in bloodborne.
      The 1 area bloodborne falls short is its bosses. Only the dlc bosses are exceptional, and the majority of the base game bosses are lame. Very few humanoid bosses.

    1)Fishing Hamlet location - go down the well where you meet big shark boy thing, at the bottom of the well lies Lady Maria's boss weapon - Rakuyo, and two big surprises for you.
    2)As mentioned above, find and eat 3 umbilical cords in order to fight another boss at the end of the game.
    3)It's also worth a stroll through the dungeons, at least for a couple of interesting bosses and challenges there. I remember the Cursed and Defiled Chalice. That was a good one.
    4)Also, mentioned by people, Eileen's questline, at the end of the stage, has very challenging npc fight, deserves attention.
    BTW, my first souls like game, still fav one. DS3, second for me, gorgeous game also. Now i'm finishing sekiro and then go play Elden Ring, I hope I get the same emotions that I had with DS and BB.

    I've never played a FromSoftware game before, i saw a friend of mine playing DarkSouls 1 once and i got turned off by it (wasn't my type of game), forward AUG 2023 i saw Bloodborne GOTY edition on sale for $20 (disc verison) so i thought i'd give it a go since i was intrigued by the lore and setting so i bought it and started playing it, 1st 30 mintues in and 8 years later i was stuned., by the visual presentation, the designs of the city and atmosphere is like nothing i've seen before. my road to my first boss (Cleric Beast) wasn't easy it took me more than 2 hours and 25 stupid deaths to find him, i died at least 10 times fighting him which made me think (if this is the first boss of the game this is going to be a wild ride) and it was i'm currently 90 hours on my first playthrough i've beaten almost every boss including the nasty ones in the defiled Chailce (Cursed Watchdog was the toughest one i came across and almost broke me) now only The Blood Queen is what standing between me and the platinum, i'll probably keep going about it for hours but what i would say about Bloodborne is one of the greatest games i've ever played in my 35 years of living. no game gave me that feeling of joy after beating a tough boss and it definitely made me a better gamer! Truly a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

      gosh I have such a similiar feeling with elden ring for me, I also saw people playing dark souls and even purchased dark souls 3 myself and when I tried it was like "ah, this just isn't for me i guess" elden ring came out and I fell in love and have been loving everything that fromsoftware has put out. Bloodborne is now one of my favourites after this playthrough!

    Started with Demon's Souls and Bloodborne is still my favorite souls game. No shields, fast dodging, weapons that change their move set depending on what form they are in, being able to switch their form in combos. Just amazing amount of customization with playstyle. Granted there are faults too, Blade of mercy's only good move is tricked dodge R2, Ludwig's is just too damn strong, some of the Chalice Dungeon's monsters are stupid (crazed guy with two scythes in a cursed dungeon im lookin right at you).
    I've spent far too much time helping people and playing it over the years and would be willing to do so again if they ever get around to porting/remaking it to PC.

    Maybe just the , but having play Bloodborne, it really feel like it wasn't his first time. It could be the editing and the calm (post?) voice over, but it really feels (to me at least) that you already know most of the game and that you don't really discover/explore.

    One thing this game never tells you besides everything. You have this thing called insight. It's the eyeball on your hud. If you have no insight, you can't see invisible enemies. Once you get enough insight you see them. Like the Amygdalas around the map, you can see them when your insight is high enough. During the witches of hemwick fight, if you have no insight, you don't have to deal with the shades because your character can't see them, so they don't exist. Which makes the whole gimmick point less. And there are other cheeses too, like the blood starved beast. If you throw blood they go after it instead of you cause they are "blind" there are some other enemies that works on too, specifically ones that have blood something in the name. I think they are only chalice enemies as i don't remember them in the man story.

After killing Orphan of Kos (he's tough AF) I played Elden Ring again with a new character and realized I wasn't using my shield anymore! I liked Bloodborne style so much that I'm playing Elden Ring in the same way, and it works amazingly! It's so much fun just learning "the dance", every boss has a certain pattern, once you learn how to read those patterns you can dodge and attack and it's just the best way to play IMO

    160 damage per hit on Mergo with LHB is crazy. Either no good gems or wonky stat allocation
    In any case, it will forever be the best Fromsoft game in my eyes. The world, weapons, gameplay and bosses are just like nothing else
    Also just in case no one else mentioned it so far, you missed your chance to fight the final boss, the tentacle creature that appeared at the end. For it, you must consume three one third umbillical cords, one of which you got from killing Mergo’s Wetnurse, another you probably picked up when entering Iosefka’s Clinic from the back door and the third (or fourth, don’t as why there are four one thirds) can be found through a side door halfway down the platforming tower puzzle from early in the video. The last one, you find in the sewer room just after Gascoigne’s arena, after having killed the Wetnurse

    The experience you had with the DLC bosses was similar to my own first playthrough. Really struggled with ludwig for an age then steamrolled him randomly. I still struggle with him, it's a very learnable fight, but even learning it i just tend to miss time my dodges (I blame the 30 FPS) Laurence gets a lot of traction online as being one of the hardest bosses of the DLC and like you I find him a piece of piss. Orphan for me was a second try and I haven't lost to him outside of multiplayer in over 15 playthroughs, so take what you will of that xD.
    Glad you enjoyed the game. Hope you get the urge to play through it again and go for a thorough go over of it to learn the ins and outs of the story, meet some more of the NPCs and do their quests and the chalices of course (probably the weaker part of the game really, but i enjoy them at least)

    Father Gascoigne staggered for you every hit but not for me (same weapon). Cleric Beast refused to get posture broken for me (I hit him none stop) but posture broken for you. Father Gascoigne so hyper aggressive on me for you he would pause between his attacks and staggered for you. For me his ass was non stop attacking he had no moment of rest I was having to attack while he attacked. If he did pause which was only twice the entire fight the second my attack landed he immediately quick attacked me and then dash into me doing his blunderbuss which did more damage to me then you despite my armor being better than yours. My only moment of rest was when I rolled away to heal however after his attacking combo despite being two dashes away he would quickly close the gap on me always attacking it spamming his Left hand weapon. His aggression in his third phase for you was how he was in his first phase against me…his beast phase for me was constant leaping attacks if I rolled away or a dash attack. He not once walked towards me. Still killed him first try but he was too aggressive for me to want to attempt a parry because I was constantly healing and having to dodge away. He would shotgun me then dash attack and shotgun again followed by a combo immediately following a shotgun or two followed by another attack either dash or regular attack. His shotgun is what did most of the health drain on me. Some people he is beyond hyper aggressive and rarely is not as aggressive. You got lucky with his aggression. After Father the next two bosses were easy as I got so used to his aggression.

Then my game save got corrupted so I started again well this time he is really agro in second form constantly attacks and does bullshit blindsided hyper jumps that land directly on you, no time to heal, was the hardest boss fight

    It's really funny to see how you figured out to defeat Micolash just by poking him instead of chasing him into the little room.

      If you put 1000 hours into a souls style game you tend to be accustomed to how fromsoft does things.

    I swear I never watched a whole-hour video before, but with yours, I watched the whole video from start to end.
    your playstyle, commentary, and edits to shorten the length of the video caught me to keep watching
    I enjoyed this video a lot
    keep going I hope you get what you truly deserve
    edit: plus Bloodborne is my number 1 souls game so this may be another reason hehe
