I think its funny fromsoft didnt even bother making a phase 1 death animation which means they didnt think anybody would be able to kill him before phase 2😂

@swagwolfgang It's probably just that this boss didn't have enough playtesting before release, and this loop wasn't discovered lol. Outside of this loop Orphan is pretty good at initiating the second phase.

i did it to him and made it my ps background

Next: including all chalice dungeon boss fights :)

You are an absolute saint!

what about the timers for ALL bosses? Why specifically these listed in your comment?

Emi/Ebi 49:35 Cleric Beast 52:15 Ludwig 57:30 Failures 1:00:35 Maria 1:01:35 Orphan 1:05:00 Laurence 1:08:00 Witches 1:12:15 Logarius 1:16:30 Ghermoon 1:17:30

you're a beast

It gets easier when you practice it a lot.

the saw spear only reaches AR higher than the saw cleaver at around 70/70 strength and skill. anything less than that, and the saw cleaver has higher base AR. because this is a speedrun, there is no reason why we would ever reach this level as it would be too slow. additionally, at max strength and skill with both weapons (99/99) the saw spear is only doing about 8 more total AR than that saw cleaver. that kind of investment is barely worthwhile for most builds anyway as most players are not maxing all their attributes in any kind of playthrough, speedrun or otherwise, unless you're a PVPer playing at/around max level.

I just watched a run and copied what I saw.... This category is incredibly straightforward. Make save files and practice the fights a lot. Best of luck.

I sold them at the dream for 30000+ echoes.

I only know the gems that I picked up for this run. If you're looking for really powerful gems for NG+ you'll have to farm them in the chalices.

to pick up the gem.

@@lGenso apparently i didn't notice that happen lol. thanks for the answer.

Your stats are fine. The beast blood pellets require you to build up the meter in order to deal the majority of the damage. Just eating the pellet alone is not enough. The gems are found in the room with the wolf in yarghul, by the winter lanterns in mensis, and before the pair of pigs in mensis behind a tree.

@@lGenso thanks a bunch!

@@lGenso i actually tried beating laurence but havent done most of the main story

I only used the saw spear for about 10 minutes of the run. I used the saw cleaver for 90% of run. The reason for grabbing the spear at the beginning is because it's on the way to Gascoigne anyway. If I stopped at the lamp and returned to the dream, it's an entire extra trip to the dream that is completely unnecessary when the spear can kill the first 3 bosses almost as efficiently as the cleaver does.

Ohhhh thanks for the info

Maybe a few days. Best of luck to you.

After you speak to the doll the first time, she starts moving around the dream randomly each time you exit and reenter. If you never speak to her, she stays in that same location, and you don't have to search around to find her.

Bloodborne speedruns are measured using In-Game Time (IGT). The timer is only used for myself personally so I can easily track what pace I am on. We cannot integrate the timer into Bloodborne because it only runs on console. The only time that matters for the run to be verified is the final In-Game Time which I clearly displayed after receiving the souls for killing the Moon Presence and exiting the game at the end of the run, which is in accordance with the ruleset listed on speedrun.com.

Cool, thank you for the explanation.@@lGenso

*makes comment about bad boss, completely maintaining composure* random YT comment: "SoMeOnE ReAlLy HaTes LoGaRiUs HyUcK"

There isn't a category that involves fighting any chalice bosses other than All Trophies, which I have no plans to run. Glad you enjoyed the run.

When you press the X button in this game, there is a small chance the game will register the press too long and cause a motion gesture to trigger. When this game was released in 2015, the Dualshock 4 was still fairly new and my guess is From simply overtuned the motion controls because they didn't fully understand the hardware or didn't care. Likely both. From has included motion controls in their games dating all the way back to Demon's Souls on the PS3, but you never do them errantly in any title save this one. It was also cleaned up a lot in the release of Dark Souls 3 but never patched or fixed in Bloodborne. TL;DR The slightest movement of the gyros inside the controller while pressing the X button can potentially trigger a gesture because of a lack of effort by the developer.

@@lGensoQuite surprised that the older fromsoft titles didn’t have an option to turn that off. I think I remember an option in elden ring. Such a useless mechanic to implement in souls games.

You need the item from the altar after killing Amelia.

I have played Dark Souls 3 many times...... just haven't found 2000 hours in my life to commit to speedrunning it since I basically do this for free.

@@lGenso It’s just that I don’t see videos of DS3 on your youtube channel 🤷🏼, you have a twitch account?

@sega62s I haven't played DS3 in several years. Link to my Twitch channel is in the description.

Cela n'a rien à voir avec la construction. J'utilise des boulettes de sang de bête pour augmenter les dégâts.

Grinding runs for months, 6-8 hours of failed attempts daily will desensitize a person. Sorry it bothers you.

that's all speedrunners

Can't say I know what you're talking about without a timestamp, but I don't ever use any blood vials for no reason.

No. OBS is recording at 60fps, which may make for a slightly smoother viewing experience, but what is being recorded doesn't affect the game itself, which is still running at 30fps on the console. You can watch plenty of other Bloodborne videos on YT and probably see the same thing. I personally don't notice it at all.

Bloodborne speedruns are timed using In-Game Time, which I displayed at the end of the run...... my timer is just a tool for me to keep track of my pace. I don't pause and unpause the timer for every individual loading screen in the game because I have to do each pause manually, which A. is entirely too much effort given the RTA is irrelevant anyway, and B. I have tens of thousands of resets in this game, and if you add up the number of times I would be pressing the pause and unpause keys on the timer is just positive contribution toward carpal tunnel that I would rather avoid. Yet people like this will still comment and say the video and time is fake when it is verified on speedrun.com by a moderator 🤷‍♂️ Laughable.

@@lGenso Sorry for the bad English, I'm from Brazil. I understand your frustration, everything is recorded, also have the stream with many attempts (I saw your comment on WR any%), and even then they try to discredit it. I understand the point of the live timer now! you play a lot, I enjoyed watching both WR

The only thing that gets counted when the run is verified on speedrun.com is the In-Game Time I displayed at the end of the run. If I were to let the timer run nonstop, and had to quitout for any reason whatsoever that is not a scheduled quitout, my splits would then be more than 30 seconds off for the entire remainder of the run, and I would have no way to keep track of whether I am ahead or behind because this is a console game. In all likelihood, you won't even understand this explanation or why it matters for me to pause the timer so that I can keep an accurate count of my time and whether or not I'm wasting it on a run that has no chance to PB.

Sub 1:10 is roughly within 20 seconds of tying my Sum of Best. That means perfect RNG on every segment for the entire run. While theoretically possible it isn't something that's realistically attainable for a human being.

@@lGenso gotcha. Thanks for reply

The quality of image of this game is all a matter of perspective. There are no settings on the system that affect the way this game runs. That said, I don't have any issues with how this game runs. On PS5 and PS4 pro with SSD, this game maintains a very stable 30 FPS.

@@lGenso y, i just wish it was possible to play with more than 30 fps. i have played DS remastered on Nintendo switch, after that Elden ring on a very good PC. now, Bloodborne just looks inferior to them. despite that i love the atmosphere and details. i love to watch gameplay and walkthroughs of the game. i wish You a lot more successful speedruns! p.s. i think its time for Bloodborne remastered / remake !

because extra level ups don't correlate to time saved. this run has been thoroughly dissected for efficiency by all of the best speedrunners of this game.

@@lGenso cool. me and my buddy have been doing Gascoin runs where you start the timer at new game and end when you kill Gascoin

I bought it from the bath before going to the DLC for 60 insight........

Oh god! It’s always too fast. There was a time with the Winter Lanterns that you gonna take the blood rock! But you gave up…idk. By the way awesome run, great skills, congratulations!

@@dramithai Didn't give up on anything....... running down to pickup that blood rock is a massive waste of time.

@@lGenso but why did you go moving through that 3 Winter Lanterns and the used the hunters mark? You did half the way to the BR

@@dramithai to pick up the gem..........

I'm running Bloodborne. It's basically the same thing.

@@lGenso dang that’s cold as ice! 🤣

Nope, just my normal demeanor. Thankfully that's my one flaw, and I'm not the person who laughs at my own jokes and upvotes my own comments.

Thanks for the insult.

@@lGenso Take as an insult if you want, it certainly wasn't intended as one. I don't understand why you get so annoyed at random elements in a game or let yourself get so pissed off at them. They are random therefore are obviously going to happen at some point so what's the point of letting them get to you in the way you do. I watch a lot of speed runs and that's the first one I have saw when someone just looked so miserable the whole time. That's all I was saying, just my opinion and nothing else which means you can very easily ignore but it's not intended as an insult. Good luck with your career, you're obviously a very talented player.

I'm so lucky to have someone like you looking out for my well-being.

@@stevemac6707 Its obvious you have never played a soulsborne game, an inherent part of the game is frustration. Its overcoming that frustration that is enjoyable, he has just taken it past the next level of a normal play-through. Try the game out yourself im sure your gonna be saying I fucking hate this game way more than once.

@@Markusbarkus111 I have played them, I have also watched many different speed runners play it. I have never seen anyone look like they are having so little fun ever, that was my point. It wasn't an insult, merely an observation and personally if it was me doing something that apparently annoyed me or got to me as much, I would find something else to do but hey what do I know. Thanks for jumping in to his defence though, not sure why you feel it was needed but obviously you did in some way. .

There is no emulator that plays bloodborne. All runs of bloodborne are always done on PS4/PS5. There are no differences between regions for this game, as patches for games eliminate anything like the region the game was released in mattering at all. Speedrunners use a tool called LiveSplit to track the pace of the run. Because bloodborne is a console game, we are not able to use LiveSplit to time the game in IGT, so we use RTA merely as a guide for our own reference. The only time that matters for the run to be verified is the final IGT shown at the end of the run on load screen.
