Fear the old blood. By the gods, fear it.
The Beast Claw is a weapon that can only be found in the Chalice Dungeons. And we're not talking the first few - you have to go DEEP into the dungeons to find it. Which is a shame, because this is easily my favorite weapon in the game.
Let me show you why.

Llllleeeeeemmmmoooonnnn im about to go hollow without the full youtuber challenge one shot video
my man, that whole last straight of the video (the chalice dungeon one) was absolutely amazing, your writing and your voice acting throughout the video was simply incredible
*drops a humanity and returns home*
do you want meeee
or do you want me deaaad?
lemon are you ok my guy
It’s always weird hearing CZcamsrs getting stuff like jury duty.
Imagine showing up to court and hearing “Hey, it’s Lemon. Welcome to the Courtroom. Today we’ll find out if we can find this person innocent or guilty with only a gavel.”
"...So no, you can't find this person innocent or guilty with only a gavel, however, We may be able to cheese the jury into believing they've already leaved the courtroom"
@@guilhermeserao9401”and with a speedrun cheese called COOKIE we can leave the courtroom before theyve even started”
A++++ Comment.
🎉😂😂😅
Or nullify the law even if the person is guilty of it because it's a bad law.
Reminder: The average American is guilty of three (3) felonies _every_ day!
"words without conviction are just noise" goes so hard
"I am not Hercules. I'm Sisyphus" was equally godlike, in a twisted way befitting Bloodborne
@@Lazergician Is he Sisyphus? Or is he the boulder?
@@VeryPeevedhe's both, he endlessly rolls himself up the hill to prove he belongs at the top.
"'That' was truly unkind. Allow me to return your kindness in full." Was my favorite line out of that ending bit. It's like what you'd hear said when a truly kind and warm-hearted character gets pushed past their limits and something within snaps. I love the kind of mood that stuff sets.
Thats even better is that tonal shift from lemons usal jokey cheery self to that cold line
Lemon’s deranged monologues at the end of his videos are becoming my favourite thing about this channel. The poetry, the music of the words. Beautifully done sir.
Agreed and he played a build that is honestly my favourite in the game but I'm a sucker for fist/claw weapons in from soft games, actually just any game ever! Hand to hand is the only way!
@@Ghostgate611 imagin being an eldritch monstrosity that's hundreds of years old and some fucker breaks into your ancient holy ground, breaks both your knees before snaping your neck and walks away with barely a scratch
As a writer I absolutely love the poetic storytelling Lemon puts into these videos. He doesn't need to, but it adds so much to the video and helps make his challenge runs feel like they fit into the world through his storytelling.
I personally think its extremely pretentious. And repetitive after watching all his challenge runs.
I like it too, he surprises us everytime
@@golemgolden4670 How is Lemons little stories pretentious? I'm kinda confused about your logic and would love an explanation please.
Why are you here then bud?@@golemgolden4670
@@Umbra-oj2vk Comparing yourself useing the beastclaws to vicar amelia getting transformed into a beast is... well i dont have a better word for it, its just pretentious. Challange runs arent high art, this sort of language simply doesnt fit without sounding pretentious to me.
The quote "I'm not Hercules, I'm Sisyphis." Is unreasonably epic. Well done
Yeah dude, I thought the same. It goes hard
It fits the game of Bloodborne uncannily well. That quote alone gave me chills.
I mean... Isn't Hercules a Roman rip-off, and Sisyphus is a Greek king? Thus "I'm not Heracles, I'm Sisyphus" would've been better?
Okay, jokes aside, this line actually kicks ass
@@nolanstrife7350 Yes, but the line relies on a segue from the expression "Herculean effort," and "Heraclean effort" is not a thing people say. Also, it's reductive to describe Roman mythology as a rip-off of Greek mythology, but whatever.
I came for this channel because it seemed like a good dark souls challenge runner, and now i am watching a man writing his journey through not a challenge, but a way to play the game, and display it by creating wonderful lore based on his playthrough, not only the dramatic parts, he included his struggles, his victories, his feelings, his jokes and most of all his passion for doing this.
Lemon is an example of great content as he does things his own way, he's not afraid of cheating to do a challenge run, he makes these stories, he plays games that aren't very talked about, he references jokes made in previous videos and some of these jokes become lore.
This channel is severely unknown, support The backlogs and help it grow bigger and better
I love how absolutely unhinged he becomes at 13:02
It’s a hilarious change that I wasn’t expecting, as we don’t usually see “Teetering-On-The-Razor’s-Edge” Lemon
Sh*t just went from "Almost done," to "What the f**k?" REAL QUICK.
The Beast Claws went from yeah I know they can do that to what the hell you can fully transform!?
I love how the video goes from "heres a silly challenge run" to "master class in storytelling" in an instant.
>master class in storytelling
Zoomer
This is not a challenge run. The Beast Claw is one of the most OP weapons in the entire game.
Master class in story telling?
No its horrible, look i really enjoy the guy, but the tonal whiplash is huge, and thats not good story telling. You cant just go from happy go lucky, to deep dark philosophical questioning about existance without a good transition and he isnt doing it well as of now (not saying he can't improve) same with going from 3rd person as a player to first person as the character
@@sonofliber that is the very essence of eldritch horror though, everything feels normal, happy even..until its not and the world takes a major tonal shift. it is excellent writing and roleplay.
@@grrrr255uses > to start sentence

Lemon has such a talent for slipping in subtle foreshadowing. It takes a keen eye to pick up on the hints he sprinkles through the vid
😂😂😂
Ah yes, the very subtle "THAT'S FORESHADOWING BY THE WAY". Very subtle.
I love the faint talking during the chalice dungeon stream, how it just adds another layer to the ambience of madness, like insane whispers
I thought I was going mad when I couldn't find anything playing on the background of my computer........
Now that I turned up the volume, I just started hearing it. Damn
Your videos always gave me the impression that you are fighting to make the script shorter and there is a writer screaming to get out. I am very happy to see you flex that muscle with the Chalice Dungeons segment. Great job and awesome flow and storytelling. Keep up the good work
...huh. This hits me harder than it should.
I find the speech during the chalice dungeons very befitting of this channels Bloodborne runs as a whole. Each time, the same. Each time, different. Each playthrough a new soul with ancient memories, played back on themselves. A new weapon, a new twist. And yet. The same madness pervading your mind. Each delve into the dark abyss of this game bringing out a new story, and the growing insanity-so crucial to the soul of a storyteller- drags itself a little further forward with each journey. Less of the game. Fewer stats. Fewer side notes on the mechanics. Some bosses a mere footnote, others entirely unmentioned. In their place, the heart of a story beats stronger. More breathtaking monologues. More mystery and missing footage, set aside for the sake of what must be done, what must be told, that you may rest.
There is a storyteller in all of us, Lemon. And yours seems to be awakening. We'll be waiting for you, in the depths past your inner core, when the long dream is over. But dont worry, you wont be alone in the suffering your stories have caused you.
After all...
We're all mad here.
@@JACandQuill That is indeed true after all what is normality but a different flavor of insanity
@@TheBacklogs Honoré de Balzac Quote: “Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.”
We are all Fools… here in the Colosseum… trying forever more… never to see an end… one task to another, one challenge before another… the never ending spiral is the ride of a lifetime… or… perhaps the lifetime itself… never ending… our mortal coil… our forever box… I wonder what lies beyond its confines… but that will come at the end of the line… where it is, no one knows… but when it comes, if your not ready, it’s going to be a slow journey through time to the other side…
That naration at the end. so perfect. so clearly discribing what the chalice dungeons are.
I'm not too familiar with Bloodborne, do you have to do this before you fight the final boss, or is it just the optional content he put in for a narrative?
@@themistake8904 it's all optional stuff, lemon just put his own narrative spin into the run that's all
@@themistake8904optional if you just wanna play, mandatory to get the platinum
I found it pretty cringe myself. I always hate edgy narratives. Also, chalice dungeons are fun and, to me, they are not optional. If you haven't beaten Yharnam with that character, then you haven't beaten Bloodborne. So, I give Lemon kudos for being one of the only challenge runners to actually do it.
@@nolongeraperson you're about the only person I've ever heard describe the chalice dungeons as fun, so I don't really blame people for not playing them. It's cool someone likes them, but claiming without them "you haven't beaten Bloodborne" is its own flavour of edgy :P
Whether it's intentional or not, I love the moments when you get really angry and start yelling. It makes your descent into beasthood seem more real, like it's making you more irritable and violent.
It's a lovely detail! Or, just a fun coincidence.
That 'What do you want?!?' at 13:16 was unsettling and chilling. Like Ledger's Joker's 'Look. At. Me!'. Very good stuff
30:00 "That was truly unkind" god that gave me chills, the idea of being trapped in your mind for eons that take place in only a second, im not sure if i can imagine a worse hell, and the calm bitterness the line was said with says so much with so few words. Chills fucking chills
Seeing the beast claw in the vicar's skull cutscene was... wicked cool with the narrative
Gotta love how all the challenge runners have a thing that makes them unique. Excessive, unbridled puns. Unbelievably catchy tunes.
And stories that truly captivate the mind.
ik the tunes are baron and stories are lemon, but whos the puns?
@@chaotik7853press continue? The one who never knows which witch is which witch which is a bit of a bitch.
@@chaotik7853 Gamer's Weekend, I think
@@chaotik7853 JK Leeds basically turns the challenge runs into a challenge of how many dad jokes he can put in a video :)
@@Ironica82Press Continue is also very very full of puns, but is decidedly more crude haha
'Words without conviction are just noise' goes unironically hard. Great video Lemon, gave me chills at the end
Seeing Lemon's Insight climb towards and actually reach 99 on a BEASTHOOD build very nearly gave me an aneurysm. At the same time, very enjoyable run!
why? is it bad?
@@alicepbg2042 the higher your Insight, the lower your Beasthood cap, and the effect is not small. You can see through the video that with 99 insight his Beasthood meter is less than half what it is in the early game, which also translates to significantly less damage dealt. Now, that does also mean that his defense won't drop as much, but it severely limits his damage output.
I was confused why Lemon was getting so much insight, and all I know about Bloodborne is from his videos and little from the wiki.
It might have been for the sorry telling narrative rather than the build
@@koopatroopa6412 I imagine he would have made more of a point of it if that were the case.
13:05
Alright there, Lemon? Has work been stressing you out? Lol
its out 11 minutes ago for me, you got early access?
Members get early access, likely how this comment went up then
Yeah, that caught me off guards pretty hard
To be skilled enough to do these challenges? Crazy. To do that AND write intricate stories lines, with some truly beautiful and artistic editing, is ridiculously crazy. You should be proud, Lemon
My dude, you really went off with this one! That narration at the end when talking about the chalice dungeons is one of the best you've done so far! Keep up the awesome work!
SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A VOICE ACTING ROLE
ASAP
That ending, that's the single most vivacious, legitimately awe inspiring thing I think I've ever heard from you. You have my condolences, since that sequence will never be adored by enough people, nor will it be given the praises it deserves. Good day and good show, Sir Lemon.
The storytelling is amazing , like idk what to say because I feel everyone else has said it. I’ve played this game countless of times but watching your videos is like watching complete different story from blood borne. You’re awesome man you deserve everything good thing coming to you
That was solidly the best 'uncanny valley' type video you've made in my opinion. I love your videos and I can't wait to see where the year takes us!
I love how even narrator Lemon is more beastly this go-around.
Could you imagine if there was a ring that for every percentage of nerf you get from debuffs your power was boosted by that same percent? Honestly that would be amazing
The closest I think was the Calamity Ring, but that only made you take double damage
The Ring of Vigorous Retaliation
I love the vibes the challenges in BB give.
The narration is on point. It's like a mini story for each new soul that enters yharnam. Them either falling into utter chaos and madness or giving up themselves for the better.
The background noise during the phterum chalice was... I don't know how to describe it... It gave the whole part a atmosphere that was suffocating, dampening, kind of... Mind breaking on its own.
Thanks for doing this video lemon. I hope the author in you has more of this in his bag. It's absolute great content, that would also fit great as a book.
I follow a number of challenge runners. None of them put in the effort that Lemon does. More than just doing a challenge run, he tells a story. And it makes what could be just another formulaic video into something truly engaging. Well done, Lemon, and keep up the good work.
I'm loving how you spin a story with each of these challenge runs now. Especially with the bloodborne runs. And using moments out of order for different purpose like the brain of mensis at the end, amazing job Lemon
Yours are one of the few Sponsored segments I never fast-forward through. You always give it a nice spin and it never sounds like you're just reading off a script. Just as entertaining as the regular vid. Keep up the great work
I've been watching you since you did salt and sanctuary runs and is so great to see what direction you've taken your videos in I think it is awesome all the story you have added into your videos. Also thank you, you have gotten me out of some pretty rough spots with your videos being funny and intriguing I'm happy to see you changing.
I LOVE your speeches at the end of videos like this
everytime Lemon goes fully story telling mode in one of these. There are just chills down my spine, always leaving me wanting more of it.
And this one, not only is it no different, but for some reason really struck a cord with me. That idea of the spiralling beast-blooded hunter, it's so right. It's so fitting and so... so very bloodborne.
Definetly work above and beyond, exeptionly well done!
I usually put these videos on for background watching while working or playing. That whole last part got me so hard I died in Elden ring and didn’t even notice. Bravo Lemon.
I've watched so many of these challenge run videos and I love how they start off as a normal challenge run and the it descends into madness, it's really dark and I enjoy the storytelling that you put into it. Nice one Lemon, keep being awesome and making great videos.
the part of all your videos that I love is when it feels like you RP the challenge run in the world and you turn into the inner thoughts
As someone who studied drama in my later years of high school and did solo renditions of truly touching and deep solo monologues this has to be one of the best I have ever heard and if I had the chance I’d have done it as my final production
Lemon you truly are a wizard with words and your monotone yet deep and emotion filled tone actually had me listening to every word with utter focus
This was amazing and I would love to hear you do some other monologues but that is maybe asking too much
Keep up the good work my guy and please take a break if you need to as your mental health is very important
I think I like the weapon showcase videos the best because its similiar to how I play these games. Most of my runs are built around a weapon, and sometimes its silly obscure ones. Its awesome to see someone take these weapons to the next level. Great work as always Lemon.
13:04 Holy shit Lemon your voice acting has gotten so good over these years. That scream was perfect, the anguish under it is *palpable*
I am absolutely in LOVE with your writing in these. It's a really unexpected but entirely welcome twist on the normal fromsoft challenge run videos and I am HERE for it! ❤❤❤
Hey lemon, i love that in every intro nemesis from re3 says "stars" very cool. You can almost make him saying "start"
That's Nemesis at the beginning?
I don't think that's Nemesis. It's just similar sounding and is just a tuned "Start" through a mixer of some sort.
In the beginning of the run it's all light-hearted jokes, slightly goofing, yet as the run goes on and the story builds, you feel the suffocation almost as though you're there with it. Absolutely amazing Lemon, well done, I felt the spiral, and I gotta admit this is one of my favorite vids so far ♥
This definately became another favourite of mine from you
Right up there with Miracles only, Ds1 crossbow and the tools only in Grime videos.
Your writing is just top notch
The entire chalice dungeon monologue was unwell. Incredible work and so on-tone with my understanding of Bloodborne. You are an excellent writer and an unbelievable voice actor
Phenomenal Storytelling on this one
Been working through the chalice dungeons myself to answer the ultimate question: Would the doll still love me if I was a worm?
Yes, yes she would
The storytelling of Lemon is simply a masterpiece, the story he tells with each run not only helps the video stay fresh but also fits with the narrative of the challenge run. It almost feels as the storytelling and narration is getting more and more beast-like, more insane as the video goes on. Bravo.
Man. This has got to be the best video you've done yet! What a rollercoaster, phwoar
I've always loved the storytelling in your videos. It's just crazy how well you can change the shift and tone from goofy and light-hearted to dark and introspective. I can't wait to see the next video you come up with.
I absolutely love the commentary of your vids Lemon, and hope your jury duty went swiftly! I would love to see you beat the Souls games completely left-handed, sounds like a fun challenge, especially for DS2.
Also under ten minutes gang! Let's goooo!
I love it when Lemon gets into his poetic Lovecraftian existential philosophical supernatural tellings of his story. They are always so amazing to listen to
the whole bit at the end was icing on the cake Lemon. honestly knowing bloodbornes story that like mental break down fits perfectly into the universe. you executed it nicely :)
That was amazing Lemon! You have such an amazing way of telling a story through your challenge runs and I love every second of it!
The monologues and narrative are such a fantastic trademark of these runs, I love them lol, great vid Lemon!
Man that end really filled me with such dread, i don't even know how to explain, but your narration was so on point that i got shivers sometimes
I am always glad to see your amazing work, but damn, i think this video might be one of my favourites
I absolutely love the little storylines you create and act out along with these challenge runs. So cool~
I so appreciate when these videos have serious moments. It catches me off guard everytime, but in a good way. Keep up the amazing work!
The storytelling and the frantic yelling scared me, plus just an amazing video . 100/10 Mr. Lemon
Lemon, my first souls game was bloodborne and when finished I was so happy. After that I played dark souls then Elden ring. During my dark souls play through I discovered your channel and loved the story telling, jokes, and most of all your poetic moments. And this was truly the best video for your poetic moments! Keep going man 🎉
Man, your videos are always a blessing, especially after a long day of study. Your voice just manages to calm me down and forget my problems to enjoy your runs.
Guys wake up a new lemon video is up.
Imagine being a criminal and lemon there in the jury ready to chuck a firebomb at you
That was awesome! I always love when you mix in such creative writing where so many others make a joke run or give little insight on the experience.
I always love your runs because you usualy stick with a theme and tell a story around it, this time you've outdone yourself dude, from writing to acting, a wonderful story
Lemon I must say I've really enjoyed the newish style for your videos, how you narrate them like each being their own story so they feel like how they truly always should have been they were there in spirit before but now they're here in body and spirit almost like you've taken a page from vaati's book
Also watching the challenge dungeon portion on the final video after seeing the stream made the video experience so much better
One day, if the moon is right and the great ones have mercy, Lemon can make a Bloodborne video without going insane. However, until that day comes, it'll still be fun to watch him lose it
I freaking love this narratives u creat for the runs. It makes the videos so much more than just a challenge run
The way you just make lore for the characters you play during your challenge runs holy moly dude. you are an artist as always.
Your stories are always incredible, the amount of emotion you put into them really takes the video to a whole new level
Truly these claws gave you insite from the old ones embrace the madness
Going down the path of the Beast while keeping your feet upon the Hunter's Path while the Kin and Great Old Ones gnaw at the mind. Forgoing firearms or other assorted weapons, just the Beast Claw and the Beast Rune etched into you and the ultimate constant of the Hunter: Kill to survive the night while waiting for sunrise. The man and the beast rip and tear through their fellows and the Kin alike without mercy for they do not know mercy, so why should you? Keep in mind that Beast and Hunter are alike in that they must kill to survive, but for different reasons. Beasts kill to feed with any lesser beast or unfortunate soul, hunter or not, with the cobblestone as their dinner table. Hunters kill to cull them for it is merely their job over it being instinct, but should they be blooddrunk, they become lesser than Beasts. Beasts born of the Scourge kill to feed as animals do (provided the madness it inflicts doesn't get someone first) and Hunter kill for it is their duty. The blood-crazed Hunter kills either for sport or for absolutely no reason at all. When it comes to Hunters that killed their fellow hunters and men that full become beasts of the scourge, is there really any difference other than mindless slaughter on whoever they see or smell without a care in the world?
I'm so happy you made this video. This is essentially what my first bloodborne run turned into, so I'm excited to watch you do it too. I love the beast claw.
Absolutely beautiful. I loved the storytelling you did, I’m sorry it might seems that I’m asking too much but a vid with koz parasite in the same premise would be something else. No pressure and much love bro.
I love auto generated captions! 29:43 - "Surely something should pee here..."
Oh my God I love when fucking lemon goes off and starts talking in that voice when you know he's going to start being all crazy and sad and poetic and shit.
Dude, I always walk away from your videos in pure awe. The lore bits, the storytelling, all of it is a masterclass.
Love this video. You're becoming someone I like watching challenge runs for. So much more creative than the norm. Honestly reminds me of the nuzlocker Flygon HG, since his runs always have additional story.
Holy shit Lemon, this has to be one of your strongest narrative videos yet. The constant Yharnam jumpscares with the way you act in them is CRAZY. Absolutely wild to hear your normally pretty soothing, quiet voice screaming "WHAT DO YOU WANT" at Yharnam with the jump cuts and the distortion, your descent into madness in the chalice dungeon, the ending which, frankly, was chilling. God damn.
I have the utmost respect for the way you expertly weave an emergent narrative in with your procedural gameplay. You're creating something very unique here and I admire it so much.
i cant tell you how much i appreciate you running all your challenge runs and only using this and that but i have spent countless hours on watching your videos. You restored my love of the Dark souls series with your fun and knowledge of the games. you make it look really easy playing all these games back and doing runs no one would think about doing. You Lemon in all your might push through it all and I would just like to say that even though I am just one person, that I appreciate what you do and am so glad I saw your videos. Please keep up the good work. Firebomb academy for life! Lets go!!!
Yourre getting better and better at making these narrative runs, so cool!!!
Lmao “WHY WONT YOU SAY ANYTHING?! WHAT YOU WAN-.” Fucking amazing I was dying at that line delivery 13:20
Corniest fucking ending I've ever read but good run
Literal chills at the end. Both your voice acting and story telling are very obviously improving. Well done
WOW, this one was good, Lemon! The edits are on point. That bit where you yelled at the Pthumerian queen was the absolute worst moment to take a drink. I'm lucky to be alive. Furthermore, I'll come clean on this... I never gave this weapon a chance on any of my Bloodborne playthroughs. This run singlehandedly changed my mind. Well done!
Wasnt a fan of this one. Appreciate these runs but this one has problems.
1. Beast claws arent that hard
2. Your just being edgy, i get you like the whole “im in the story” thing but it wears thin and isnt that fun to listen to.
you seriously make days so so so much better, thank you so much for these videos Lemon
What a great monologue. I was not expecting that. Thank you and keep it coming.
I love when you take your videos and give your character a story of their own. Ot really adds to the run and the enjoyment of us viewers too. Thank you as always Lemon.
the editing on these is getting better and better, and the hybrid between experiential short film and challenge run video is just *chef kiss*
That was so well done every video I watch just keeps getting better it really shows how much he's grown with writing scripts and entertainment
I love the celeste music playing in the background sometimes
The way you tell a story in you videos always gets me. Such a simple concept like beast claw only turns into a story about madness.
another absolute masterpiece lemon :) had alot of fun with the chalice dungeon stream!
Hell of a job narrating at the end!! You had my full attention the entire time. Glued to my seat!!!!
VERY WELL DONE!!!!!!!!! Was blown away with that ending, didnt expect it in the slightest. Expertly crafted my guy
Its nice to see little Lemon get through an intro without injury, also holy shit that is so accurate to the themes and inspirations that Bloodborne is based on. Well done Lemon, well done
