Fan Art [Megathread] Share Your Ink Here! Bloodborne Tattoos, Vol 1

22 Upvotes

Greetings, good hunters.

I'll keep it short: we will gradually be refining/clarifying/updating some of the rules here on r/Bloodborne. This is to hopefully provide a clearer/better experience for users. Most changes should just be small tweaks that won't really impact the general user's experience too much, though some (like this megathread) may be bigger.

If you have any comments or concerns, please send us a Modmail.

Circling back to this megathread/bigger changes, tattoos may now be posted! To prevent a flood of posts though, please limit your tattoos to this megathread.

So without further ado, you are welcome to share your Bloodborne related tattoos below!

I could never find wallpapers I liked of bloodborne, so I decided to make some of my own.

I've also added a few to wallpaper engine if that's what you prefer. I'm pretty new when it comes to wallpaper engine, so don't expect anything crazy. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198165116379/myworkshopfiles/?p=1

If you have any ideas or locations for wallpapers, I'd love to hear about them.

Some of these photos were taken with the BB Reborne mod.

Edit: The quality looks awful so I uploaded them to Imgur https://imgur.com/gallery/bloodborne-NmuqMfu

This is a hot take, but: I kinda wish we had a Pthumerian boss like these in the main game - but better executed.

When I did my Platinum run, the Descendant version was a fucking roadblock because of his relentless attack pattern, made me curse the game more than most bosses (until I noticed his weakness), I'm sure a lot of hunters here relate.

But I think if he had a different arena and his combos were a little different, we could have a stunning fight. Like, a really fast, exciting duel between two creatures.

(Obviously his weird hitboxes would need some fixing too, why does his sickle go through pillars and why does one of his combos look like someone spamming R1?)

Not to mention their gorgeous, detailed design. One of my favourite enemy designs in the game, kind of vampiresque, but the 1800s horror classic kinda way.

Anyone else feeling the same? Or do you have other enemies/bosses you feel deserve a bigger stage?

My Doctor Iosefka cosplay!
Photo by CHATSKYPHOTO

I genuinely love the Bloodborne universe, I’ve even earned the platinum trophy for it. I’ve always admired Doctor Iosefka, as she tried to do everything in her power to save both people and science.

I hope I managed to capture her spirit and character <3
And remember: fear the old blood!

I recently designed and painted this Bloodborne themed controller to give to my friend as a birthday present. It’s not crazy detailed or elaborate but I thought some of you here might still appreciate it!

The left and right sides where your hands hold it originally had a hammered metal look but unfortunately the clear coat I used to finish and protect everything seemed to fill in the texture, resulting in it looking more matte black.

Sorry the lighting on the photos is not the best, I was having trouble getting good pics without shadows.

I checked their catalogue frequently to see if they added the game. Months went by, and I thought one of the techs took it home instead of put it in the system. Checked on a whim today and I was pleased to see it's coming soon!

May more good hunters join us. Shout-out to libraries!

Story Finally Completed Bloodborne first playthrough!!

19 Upvotes

I finally completed the game for the first time including dlc... it was an amazing experience and i enjoyed the whole atmosphere and the combat system.. took me 35 hrs to finish.

I was recording how many attempts each boss took so here it is:-

# Boss Attempts
1 Cleric Beast 2
2 Father Gascoigne 3
3 Blood-starved Beast 3
4 Vicar Amelia 6
5 Witch of Hemwick 3
6 Darkbeast Paarl 1
7 Shadows of Yharnam 3
8 Rom, the Vacuous Spider 1
9 The One Reborn 1
10 Amygdala 3
11 Micolash, Host of the Nightmare 2
12 Mergo's Wet Nurse 1
13 Martyr Logarius 6
14 Celestial Emissary 1
15 Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos 2
16 Gehrman, the First Hunter 1
17 Moon Presence 1
18 Ludwig, the Accursed / Holy Blade 2
19 Laurence, the First Vicar 7
20 Living Failures 1
21 Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower 2
22 Orphan of Kos 2

Gehrman and moon presence felt very easy probably because I was overlevelled by doing chalices... hated the defiled and cursed chalice a lot 😄 ...Now time to go Plat!! I was not sure what flair to add...

Help Think I might've accidentally fucked something up with iosefka?

Upvotes

New player here; I'm playing bloodborne for the first time rn, but i have seen playthroughs of it before, so i'm not exactly going into it completely blind.

basically ik that there's an imposter iosefka and that you can find and kill her after accessing the clinic through the back via that weird tunnel thing in the forbidden woods.

the thing is when i got to the clinic, i found the celestial emissarys no problem, but there was no iosefka. i got to the room where she usually is and there was nothing, unlocked the door, reloaded the game, still nothing.

i'm not entirely sure what happened here because after the point where real iosefka dies and we're left with this one, i sort of just left her alone (sent the weird cannibal man to her though godbless), so i'm not sure what i could've done to make her go away?

any advice would be appreciated thanks!

Help I'M ON MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH OF BLOODBORNE

16 Upvotes

Bloodborne has been on my playlist for ages. I finally got the chance to play it. Right now I love the weapons and the atmosphere and the bosses, but man, the camera is horrid in my experience, especially in the father Gascoine fight. The blood vial system is really tedious same with the bullets. Also because the loading is very long going back to the hunters dream every time gets really frustrating really fast. I love difficult games don't get me wrong, but my frustration from this game isn't the difficulty, it is the tedium that comes after the fights.

I do really want to keep playing, and considering this sub exists I'm assuming you guys have found a way to play through it. Is the game just not for me, or do you guys have any tips so I can keep going, I'm still very early in Central Yharnam on the Gascoine fight.

Help Did anyone here ever uploaded data from the ps4 to the ps5? I need to know something.

6 Upvotes

Recently I realized I'm only a couple trophies away from the platinum. I usually don't cara about these things but it'd be cool to do it with my favorite game : )

The thing is, it would help me a lot to upload the data from my old ps4, but I don't know if doing this, it would delete the progress I made on the ps5 y'know?

Just wanted to flag this to the community as it seems that not many people are aware of this. Did a search and there has been no post mentioning this in this sub.

Don’t want this to look like an ad, so please search it by yourself. Just Bloodborne playing card will do.

I recently got my decks (both the standard and old blood editions) and the quality is quite good. The artworks are absolutely gorgeous. It is slightly pricey if you are not a card “collector” per se, but given how scarce Bloodborne merchs are I feel it is easily justified :)

Btw there are some other Sony IP playing cards made by the same company if you’re into those. I also like and got the God of War cards.
