Video Description

Support the channel by subscribing! Full spoilers for Bloodborne in this video. In time for the community event 'Return to Yharnam', I wanted to finally talk about my favourite game ever made - Bloodborne. From Software's descent into Lovecraftian, gothic madness is well-documented by now, so I want to take you on a personal journey through Yharnam and its outskirts, meet some of its crazed denizens, and discuss exactly what make the game so timeless. Chapters: Introduction - 00:00 My History With Bloodborne - 04:19 Bloodborne, the Perfect Souls Starting Point? - 12:57 What is Bloodborne? - 20:38 Yharnam and The Waking World - 23:16 Central Yharnam - 30:44 Cathedral Ward - 37:22 Old Yharnam - 41:00 Hemwick Charnel Lane - 44:33 Forbidden Woods - 45:48 Byrgenwerth - 47:27 Grant us Eyes - 51:27 The Eldritch Truth - 55:51 Yahar'gul and The Hypogean Gaol - 57:48 Forsaken Cainhurst Castle - 1:00:10 Upper Cathedral Ward - 1:04:42 Nightmare Frontier, The Lecture Building & Nightmare of Mensis - 1:07:11 Daybreak - 1:12:09 The Bell Tolls - 1:16:09 Thumbnail art belongs to the incredibly talented @anatofinnstarkillustration6949 - thank you for letting me use it. All gameplay was captured on PS5. Bloodborne gameplay is my own.
