Also notice how the slug like creatures in the upper cathedral ward move towards facing where the Daughter of the Cosmos is? Do you think those things are offspring of choir members?
Question: Why do most statues and some NPC's have their eyes covered?
Ebrietas is probably my favorite create design in Bloodborne: http://i.imgur.com/IQhqnWC.jpg
She's like an evil living macaroni bowl... Can't stop staring at the "noodles" growing out of her face.
So, is the Wet Nurse a version of Eileen? If it's a nightmare that's supposedly keeping the child from Yharnam, does that mean Eileen took/killed Mergo from her? Or the host of the Nightmare fears Eileen and simply sees her as the biggest threat? Perhaps the cloning means something......(or nothing)
Also (much less likely a coincedence) but does anyone think there's any connection between Gherman and Logarius? They had similar fighting styles and do the same powering up bullshit AOE move to go super saiyan.
Whoops, I meant it was likely just a coincidence that they fought similar.I'm mystified by your first point but as to your second it's possible they were both hunters at the same time I guess.
It's prob more due to the latin meaning which refers to month. And later down the road in language history, it is refer to moon as well.So, just came across an interesting thread over on reddit that's starting to change how I see certain things about the game.
Bloodborne is all periods.
While I wouldn't say it's the most concrete analysis out there it certainly has opened my eyes (Heh) about some things. Women NPC's giving you more effective Blood Vials. Use of words like "Mensis". What blood dregs are. Even the moons cycle in relation to menstruation.
Speaking of which, the mention of the moon had me curious so I did a bit of googling about full moons. You know what the first moon after the harvest moon is called? Hunter's Moon, or alternatively a Blood Moon.
All of this could just be pointless speculation and even if it isn't I couldn't tell you how all this connects together cohesively, but then again, maybe somehow Miyazaki has just managed to correlate the concept of wolves transforming on a full moon with menstrual cycles, if that hasn't already been done before.
Guide is out right? Any reference to this guy?
I need to know who the fuck this guy is. It's driving me crazy since day 1
Whoops, I meant it was likely just a coincidence that they fought similar.
But yeah, as soon as I saw MWN drop down I made the crow connection, and later was like "wait....her blades were the same too!" I saw a few pages ago someone else brought up the connection but didn't seem like anyone picked up on it.
Lots of fascinating stuff going on in this game. Looking forward to whatever DLC they have planned, maybe it'll shed some light on stuff (or just add to the mystery)
Aaaaaahhhhhhh someone pointed out to me that the pebbles were eyeballs aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
A question for those who have the guide- what's the official name given to the "Cainhurst Hunter" in the grand cathedral at the end of Eileen's quest?
I don't think so,but I belive that Annalise drank the blood of the Queen and that's how she got her immortality.Could Annalise and Queen Yharnam be related..by blood? As in Annalise and I guess the Yharnam nobility (which it's probably mostly gone) are Pthumerian descendants. Both of them are sort of immortalish, have personal guards (Shadows of Yharnam, Cainhurst Knights), the Child of Blood stuff seem to be relevant for both. I don't know.
But what's weird to me is that the phrase keeps mentioned that a Great One loses its child and yearns for a surrogate, someone else to bear a child for them. One confusing part is the loss of their child. How and why does that happen? Is that process important? It's weirdly vague in that manner.
Even Alfred can't really kill her.The remaining flesh still lives on.you could actually kill Annalise even without Alfred's help...lolt!
maybe they're incapable of reproducing in general which is why they've turned their attention into our women/species
toucheEven Alfred can't really kill her.The remaining flesh still lives on.
This is real heavy speculation but it might be a translation thing. Maybe it's meant to say they are simply unable to reproduce? But there's 0 evidence one way or the other so it's just a leap. Would like to see some others try to translate from kanji or whatever it's written in for Japan.
Yeah there are a few continuity quirks like how you can see the "Behold! A Paleblood Sky!" message before the Palebood Sky actually appears.From Software I'm one step ahead of you baby

EDIT: whoops, forgot this was the unmarked spoilers thread.
Something that has been on my mind after recently completing the game with the "true" ending is the goddess Artemis / Diana. She's the Goddess of the hunt, and of the moon, that watches over childbirth and is associated with fertility.
I need to go back to the Iliad and find some other stories with her and let it bang around my head a bit. It might be worth seeing how she's incorporated or subverted, if at all.
Hmm, how does Alfred react if you kill her before giving him the summons?you could actually kill Annalise even without Alfred's help...lol

I need something on Iosefka and her imposter, man >_<
I don't think there's enough solid evidence in the game, but even a convincing theory would be enough for me.
How does the imposter know so much and have Willem's cord, and what is the importance of the real Iosefka, for her blood to be in the Nightmare?
I guess a simple "she's an special blood saint of the Choir" would be enough for the real Iosefka, but the imposter, she's possibly from Cainhurst (makes Numbing Mist and could be related to Annalise and Arianna, since she also gets a baby stand), dresses as the Choir and even use their tools, which could be easily explained by her just taking it from Iosefka, but also makes more Celestial dudes, which is Upper Cathedral knowledge.
How/why does she know so much? Could the removal of Willem's cord be what left him in that state?
About translations, I was thinking about that yesterday, about what if the Third Umbilical Cord is actually the correct one, instead of One Third of Umbilical Cord? The Lecture Building note says "Three third cords", after all, and it seems quite silly to me that no one before you would have the brilliant idea of making one entire thing using three thirds of thing. If it's just a "Third cord", instead of "One third of a cord", then using three of them to be able to transcend the hunt could be harder to figure out.
And Hunt the Great Ones. Hunt the Great Ones, that note still makes no sense to me.

I believe iosefta and the imposter are from the choir, one dediced to heal people while the other one continue to experiment on her patients to reproduce more celestial with an unknown propurse, you can see countless discarded experiments when you climp up the ladders.
If you send her survivors, those celestial will be neutral unlike the default hostiles ones so she was close on her experiments to become pregnant
About the cords maybe there is an extra one because one can be easily missable and you can no longer get it after the red moon phase so they added and extra one just in case.
I'm playing the Japanese version and it absolutely is "Third" (as in "the third" among multiple umbilical cords). No idea where "one third" came from. Maybe it's because you need only to consume three of them?
My understanding is that it's just another umbilical cord that connects the person to the old blood or the aliens or whatever. No idea what the "second" umbilical cord would be in this case, though.
There you go, that makes a lot more sense, then.
Third Umbilical Cord is the UK version, IIRC, while the US version calls them "One Third of Umbilical Cord", which makes no sense.
"The Third Umbilical Cord" is how this Great One umbilical cord is called. The image also looks like an entire thing, it doesn't look like 1/3 of anything.
Really strange... did they have different editors for the US/UK versions? Maybe it was just a case of a translation being updated and not getting reflected onto the US text files.

"there is an enemy in the game with its back cut open and stretched over its head"
which enemy is that??
Blood-Starved Beast.
no direct connections anymore. anything resembling something from Demon's is just Easter eggs now.
If they did, it was probably a mistake. Miyazaki refers to Rom as "she" in his interview.
This shit needs to be consolidated so I can follow it all. This thread is raising my insight and driving me to madness.

Oh I see, that's a pity.like nothing happened :/
it's a shame, because it would've been nice to fight him because I denied him the chance of avenging his master or something
I tried avoiding spoilers on the OT thread but no one answers so I'm coming here. Can anyone explain The Old One to me? It's gross. I mean, the story goes over my head in this game anyway but I'd like to know that guys deal. Plus the maidens in that fight, nice homage to the Tower Knight in Demon's Soułs.
