PYRAMID_HEAD'S PROFILE

Can't say I'm too psyched about it, only 'cause I don't like Cloud as a character.

It wasn't a case of 'git gud', the Orphan of Kos was hard. If you dodged to his left side, then most of his attacks skipped you, but he is a very fast, violent, and semi unpredictable boss. only way I could beat him was through summoning. So I understand your pain.

Of course the DLC asks more questions than it answers, so Kos, or Kosm has been introduced but by no means established. Is Kos the first Great One the people of Yharnham came across? Was it Kos' blood that started the beast scourge? Did anyone get their ass handed to them by the hunters in the first area of the Hunters Nightmare as many times as I did?

I have to admit though. As good as the DLC is, minus one point for reusing the Cleric Beast model for Laurence. Not aesthetically, but thematically, it's supposed to be that those higher up in the Healing Church become the most vicious and twisted of beasts. Vicar Ameila turned into a hideous beast. Ludwig... well speaks for itself, but Laurence? Who left Byrgenwerth to founded the Healing Church turned into a Cleric Beast? It just didn't sit well with me.

I like Transistor too. I'll have to disagree with Craze. I think Bastion is better, story wise (and Logan Cunningham as the Narrator is pretty darn sexual) But the soundtrack for both games are amazing.

I'm slowly making my way through Persona 4 Golden. And in my opinion, Persona 4 Golden is to Persona 4 what Scholar of the First Sin is to Dark Souls 2. A chance to rediscover the game, and fall in love with it over again.

I also got my hands on a hitherto unnoticed by myself called Aeterno Blade, and I'm convinced it was somehow made by the same team that made Dragon Valor, as there are so many similarities.

I don't know about her not wanting to be a hunter, but she was a Vileblood, so maybe that is something that kept them apart, eventually she grew tired of being a Vileblood, and threw her weapon away. I won't say where, as that would be spoiling.

But the best of fucking luck trying to get it :P

While the DLC adds to the story, the base lore is where it's at for me. I didn't really appreciate the works of H.P. Lovecraft until I got older, and the way Bloodborne obviously borrows from Cthulhu, and Nightmare Creatures without lavishing both in a tongue bath is really awesome.

The Winter Lanterns intrigue me the most, as they are dressed in the Plain Doll's clothing. And their 'brain' is a mushed together mass of Messengers. And my interpretation is, they don't cause frenzy when they look at you, they cause frenzy when you look at them.

EDIT: Is the hypogean gaol not the creepiest place you've ever been to. First time I set foot there after being taken there. I was genuinely scared, as nothing prepared me for what was there. That, coupled with the chanting that plays in the background made that area trouser-shittingly scary.

Lady Maria is one of my more favourite fights in the DLC. More for thematic reasons than anything (also, she shares the same voice actress as the Plain Doll).

I think the Amygdala corpses are there because it's a nightmare, which is meant to instill fear, so if the hunter sees Amygdala corpses (presuming one hasn't slain the Amygdala in the Nightmare Frontier), then the hunter would think "What the hell is here that's so powerful it can kill one of those assholes?"

But again it's my own understanding of the game.

Have fun with the next part of the DLC >:)
