So in regards to players wanting to help the characters, one of the recurring things in these Fromsoft games is that often times meeting the player is the worst thing to happen to the character.
Numerous NPCs in dark souls end their quest lines losing all sense of purpose after accomplishing their goals and go insane afterwards.
Yeah, but there are a few questions where meeting the player is a good thing and helps the NPCs reach their goals such as the NPCs in dark souls 3 and Elden Ring.
@@senatorarmstrong4662 don’t think too much into those quest when it come to them...I guess, surviving being around us for a whole FromSoft game. It’s those quest that tend to mirror our own journey or makes us think about the journey we’re on. The ones that fail and die because we intervene in some way, has this feeling of “Should I have done anything for them” cause they would not be the same situation, if we never met them 😂
I do believe that the worst of such cases for me were Solaire and the Onion knight.
@@tysonatua6671 for it was LUCATIEL OF MIRRAH I don’t know seeing her slowly lose herself really made me sad and I wish I could’ve saved her. And Soliar unfortunately I had no idea you could save him from goin insane but when I did I restarted my entire play through just to save him.😂
Its not THE worst thing, its just that these worlds are impossibly depressing so an happy ending is equally as impossible including for the player character, the only happy ending they gave us was in sekiro after all
The realization of what happens to Gascoigne's daughter was so heart wrenching
Yeah playing through the game that fucked me up and had me second guessing whether I should interfere with the NPCs at all
I read that first as *"heart warming"* and was like WHAT?!?!
@@jorgegutierrez8588 yeh... in souls games if you want to help someone just don't talk to them, if you talk you are just doing worse for them.
The voice acting of the little girls too was so innocent that it added to the heart wrenching as well.
For years gamers have said no to escort quest. Well that's the result.
should be noted that the second "sister" probably isn't who she says she is. The first daughter claims that she's all alone and only asks you to search for her mom and dad, not her sister. Whenever she mentions her family, mom, dad, grandfather, she makes no mention of a sister at all. You'd think that if she had someone waiting for her, she wouldn't be so eager to leave home without them. The "sister" also tells you that she went outside, but as is stated in the video, this is the longest night of the hunt on record. A little girl would have had no reason/business going out alone. When you give her the ribbon from the little girl she's overfilled with joy "…What a perfect ribbon, and now it’s mine… I can’t wait to try it on. Heh heh…. ... Oh, it’s wonderful! Heh heh..." She never mentions her family at all beyond her "sister" and when she finally inquires about her fate she says, "Oh, how did this happen? Why would she go outside?" If she were her sister then it'd be presumed that she'd left for the same reason she did: to find Viola and Gascoigne or to seek shelter in Oedon Chapel. Why wouldn't she know that if she were her sister? Why wouldn't she take the music box with her? Also there's always been a bit of contention as to how exactly the "sister" died. The ladder she's lying next to isn't nearly high enough to actually kill anyone, I don't remember exactly but you take either no damage or a very negligible amount from it. But there's also a large troll standing right next to the ladder so it's far more likely that in her glee from finally acquiring the ribbon from the girl, she wasn't careful enough to avoid being killed by it.
Smif sniff ah what's that smell it's MORE LORE ohhhhh it sings to me.
The older Sister is very reminiscing of the fake iosefka, as in their replacing someone, so firstly the young Sister might had an older Sister that didnt survive "the scourge", so didnt feel the need to mention her.
And weirdly enough, you get an umbilical cord from iosefka which i always chalk up to her creating one from her experiments but maybe it was a hint of iosefka's origins and if that were true, then there might be a great one that specializes in replacing people with fakes versions of them. now i just Cooked all of this up in my mind so theres probably three redit thread about this and just take it with a grain of salt, just me admiring this gem of a game again just because
😮🤯
FromSoftwares games tend to have really depressing stories and the story of this family might be the most sad. Ironically enough, yeah, if you avoid doing the questline, nothing bad happens to the children. You never speak to them, but at least indeed, you can hope they made it to the morning. Bloodborne nails its atmosphere and I can't help but love it. Can't wait more of your reactions to this game, it gets wild!
Actually i can speak to at least the little 1 just dont give her the box or tell her where to go thats all
Actually......she dies either way..She gets visited by some girl who was her neighbour and was like a sister to her but this girl has been corrupted by the beast blood and eventually kills her for her scarf. This is the girl who states that she was the little girl's sister when you return there after you found the little girl dead.
He's definitely more of a gameplay fight rather than a lore fight, hes the first roadblock for people who played other souls games since he's set up to punish running away to heal and his attacks are slow enough for you to get good use of the rally mechanic, he has a little gimmick to make him easier of you explore and is a multistage boss to get the player used to learning on the fly.
He has one of if not the most depressing story's, you can summon him though and play the box for him and he chuckles.
An important detail that vaati left out: After you give the bloodied ribbon to the sister and hear her cry, she starts giggling and exclaiming how the ribbon is all hers now as you start to walk away. This means shes either a sadistic piece of trash or maybe not even the girls sister at all considering the girl never mentions having one. Also it’s possible she didn’t jump to her death and was instead killed by the big ogre monster guy that sits at the bottom of the ladder right next to the window we talk to the girls at. When you go to her corpse you can retrieve the ribbon that has now been cleaned. Also there really is no guarantee that avoiding talking to the girl is a good ending (granted probably still better off for her). When you give her mother’s red jeweled brooch she still ends up getting eaten in the sewer. If you do nothing there is a moment halfway through the game where all the people you can talk to from behind their doors or through their windows will leave you with a “no response” prompt. In terms of the fight, Gascoigne is the first required boss of the game and so he’s not all tough after the first time through the game which I’m assuming the dude who made the video was well aware of how to beat him. I played through bloodborne after getting elden ring for Christmas and absolutely adoring it as my first souls game. Then I went into bloodborne thinking I was just gonna breeze through it having been accustomed to the gameplay of souls games. Boy was I wrong, took me a week just to beat Gascoigne 😅.
Or like many others when faced with such a degree of grief having lost all her family. She goes mad
@@WaterLockser I bet that's the case.
@@WaterLockser To add to that, it's around the time in the game where the rest of the Yharnamites inside the doors go insane as well, as far as I remember.
Damn. That’s dark. And yeah we heard Elden Ring is a good started game for FromSoftware being on the easier side for their games 😅 another reason we want to try it out
That's called a coping mechanism. People deal with trauma differently, and some, even irl, use laughter and making light of events as to avoid or push away the emotions brought by the trauma. Just because the sister laughed and said that the ribbon was hers now, doesn't make her a sadistic a-hole who wanted to kill her sister all along for a piece of cloth. It's more likely she's one of those people who can't really process trauma too well and resort to a coping mechanism such as laughter and joking about it to make herself not feel the pain as much as she would if she just acknowledged what happened. I know because I'm like that, too. Not to that extent as luckily enough I haven't experienced a traumatic event to that extent, but when I'm starting to feel upset or any negative emotion, I deal with it through jokes and comedy.
I remember my first playthrough and learning what happened. I remember saying aloud "I only wanted to help.."
All subsequent playthroughs I NEVER talk to the little girl to tell her what happened. I just tell her to stay indoors.
Regardless everyone end up dying when the blood moon appear. The only way for her to keep her life is to be sent to the clinic. As to wether that's a life worth living though...
vaatividya's ability to narrate is next level, love all of his videos.
Agreed 🤩
One of the worst parts that they dont touch on is that the older sister goes insane after she gets the ribbon, mumbling about how the little girl's death was a good thing because she was always jealous.
If that was even actually the girls sister and not just someone that broke into the house. Considering she never mentioned having a sister
😱😨
You've got to do Lady Maria or the Orphan of Kos. Or maybe even some Elden Ring bosses!😊
The Orphan of Kos seems an awesome idea
Lady Maria is such a badass but I hope they do dark souls 2s story.
Laurence, especially with that OST and the accompanying lyrics!
@@Metalton95 Best theme of any boss fight in the series, I don't care!!! To bad the fight itself is...meh..
Lots for us to check out 😅
I feel like you did the right choice with looking at the lore before the fight. sometimes the lore explains a lot about a boss and often there are items before a fight that describes the boss in a way as to give some beforehand info about them.
It was nice to see you react to Papa Guac's lore!
For the fans: "Hoonters must hooont."
Doll: 👏
To be fair most people who play these games experience them by fighting the boss first then finding out the lore later
That’s makes sense. Probably a good way for us to do it as well then 🙂
Chalk up another vote for the full Bloodborne story explained by Vaati, fantastic video.
😎👍🙂
Important note: Gascoigne's battle is not usually that easy and short, you just watched someone that really knew what they were doing
YOU GUYS HIT 200K IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS ITS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS WHEN I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL MUCH LOVE
Thanks so much! 🤗🥰🥳
in regards to what order you should watch these in, id suggest the fight first and then checking out the lore. i personally played the game first and then caught up on the lore and the way the information retroactively affected what i thought of my playthrough was quite impactful. really put into perspective what i had just done in and to this brutal world
For FromSoftware bosses, i think it's rad. You can totally learn the lore and see the fight.
😎🤟
I think this was the first prepare to cry i ever watched
Bloodborne Is literally my favorite top 1 game I love this game so much thank you , I love the lore for the gane even it is pretty sad , again thank you
Our pleasure. It’s an interesting game to check out for sure 🤩
I love bloodborne lore, it has so many interesting concepts borrowed from many different sources, hope you get to see at least a little bit more of it if you liked it.
We will for sure be checking out more 🙂
Fear the old blood…😖
By the gods, fear it, Laurence
Remember how a few of us have said that From Software likes to tell us tragic stories? Yeah... Bloodborne is one of the heavier hitters in that department.
But I'd recommend experimenting in terms of wanting to watch the fight with the lore! I could see it working well both ways - you could even see what you're able to glean about a boss *from* the fight and its non-verbal storytelling of the character/environment, and discuss that before going into the lore! That could be an interesting way of going about these videos.
One video I personally think the two of you would get a kick out of is "Ranking Every Elden Ring Armor Set From Worst To Best (...In Fashion)" made by a creator by the name of Rusty.
Your guys following is insane, haven’t seen a video in a while but I subbed back when you had 12,000 subs, you’re now at 200,000. Good work guys, keep uploading and trying hard and you’ll get to 1,000,000 one day
Glad to see you react to more vaatidya! Though I would love to see you react to more boss battles of Bloodborne or Elden ring
PRAISE THE MOON! AND THE GREAT OLD ONES!
More boss battles will come 😅
Every from software game has sad stories but Bloodborne for me hits the most
This is why I love bloodborne It has so many twists and turns you don't know what's going to happen next I really hope you guys continue to listen to the bloodborne lore it's the best in my opinion
You can also send the little girl to a second location where she won’t be eaten by a giant pig, and while she will actually reach the clinic you send her to an impostor doctor takes the place of the doctor that was originally there and uses everyone you send there in her very… unfortunate experiments. Yeah unlike dark souls or Elden ring where there is still a chance to save everything in Bloodborne that chance passed by a LONG time ago for multiple lore reasons. The best thing anyone can do is leave cause the entire city is screwed.
I don't know if you've already seen Radahn's Story from Elden Ring,
But if you see that, fight-first and then the lore, that fight alone is awesome to the core,
You can safely test your preference with Radahn...
In Fromsoftware games, you can only uncover the lore after beating the boss. Before that point, there might be hints or a couple namedrops, but the whole story is always set up with the item descriptions they leave behind like the one Vaati put in the video.
Reacting it to these with fight first then lore after is the same as how the story plays out in-game, minus all the frustrations of dying over and over.
Always love me some Bloodborne. Max0r's Bloodborne video is a great time if you are wanting some more BB
We will be checking that one out 😁
Yup I’m redownloading this game right now
Here’s a lore detail. If you notice, Gascoigne’s eyes are covered, the reason for this is that every Hunter is cursed to eventually go “Blood Drunk” and once they do they will be transported to the “Hunters Nightmare”(The place where Ludwig is at) where they will be trapped for all eternity. The reason they remove their eyes is because the eyes are what go blood drunk and once that happens you’re pretty much guaranteed to go to the Hunters Nightmare so in an effort to prevent this, many hunters remove their eyes. There is also another reason characters in Bloodborne remove their eyes but it’s big spoiler territory so I won’t get into it.
Are you sure they remove their eyes and not just cover them?
@@Tony-The-Motherfucking-Tiger They remove them, because as stated, The eyes are what causes you to go fully blood drunk and sent to The Hunters Nightmare.
I totally forgot about the second sisters ending. I was so shocked when I found her. I must’ve blocked it out 😅
For good reason 😱
Sometimes helping is the worst thing you can do
About the Sister, after giving her the ribbon if talked to again, you can hear her talking to herself saying things along the lines of:"it is finally mine"(paraphrasing) and then creepily laughs, talking about the ribbon. Also there s a theory that the girl tries to leave the place but gets killed by a monster right down the ladder. Also there s a chance they never were Sisters.
Creepy 😨
I remember doing gascoigne’s daughter’s questline. I didnt find the mother’s dead body so i marched on to the Oedon Chapel and instantly when i heard i could send survivors there i went to the little girl. Her saying “i love you almost as much as mom and dad, and granddad” made me happy. Then she never showed up. Needless to say when i looked up where she was i wasnt very happy.
From software are really good to depict stories of characters with too much ambitions
Hmm, the one constant in both Bloodborne and Dark Souls: there are no happy endings.
He the first boss fight that I beat only once I was so happy and determined to beat the game after awhile I decided to look up lore for him
Wow I felt so sad that I wanted to help him but at that point it was already to late at least he will be with his daughter
We hear he is a tough boss battle 😮
Bloodborne is like Dark Souls, there just isn't a happy ending for those involved. Glad to see you react to Bloodborne, specially in such a way.
"that was a sad story"
Gherman's story: 💀💀💀💀
Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower may be a good one to react to :)
one of the absolute best games I have ever played. Gascoigne story is super tragic. there's a lot of lore throughout the game between factions and characters
Welcome to the fantastic, happy world of the Soulsborne series! Where everything's fun and shiny!
Damn, 200K. Well done, guys.
Father Gascoigne is a dedication for Ken, now check out the one that belongs to Bethany: Lady Maria.
If you're interested, here are some of my personal favorite Bloodborne & Dark Souls bosses with interesting lore you could look into:
Bloodborne - Ludwig the Accursed, Lawrence the First Vicar, Living Failures, Gehrman the First Hunter, Micolash, Lady Maria
Dark Souls trilogy - Gwyn, Aldia, Sir Alonne, Abyss Watchers, Yhorm the Giant, Nameless King, Slave Knight Gael, Lady Friede & Father Ariandel.
Sometimes I boot up bloodborne to just make my way to papa G, watch the cutscene “beasts all over the shop” and that music is so haunting and pressuring
Fun fact: that breath that comes out of Gascoigne's mouth when he goes "grahhhhh" in that cutscene was an unused breath weapon attack. They gave him a breath weapon JUST for that cinematic cutscene and I think that's beautiful
If it alters your decision on fight before lore, most times in game you only know slight snippets of info before the bossfight. Most of the time in game a lot of the lore comes from item descriptions, the bosses Soul description, and environmental storytelling, most of which comes after the boss fight. I'd list examples, but don't want to spoil any potential future videos on you two
Going into the fight mostly blind is typically how these things go.
I really need to see the reaction of story of gherman, the first hunter, i so iconic
oh that's nothing, wait till you get to "the orphan of koz", that one is beyond the definition of "messed up"
You can try to fight or contain the scourge but… you’ll soon find yourself becoming drunk with blood and turning into the very thing you hunted. It’s a rather tragic end for those hunters and huntresses who couldn’t remember who they were.
yessss more VaatiVidya's Bloodborne reactions pls!
More will come 😎🤟🥳
One of my favorite games of all time.
GAS-CONE-YAY!
The idea to watch bossfights firs and lore second, can be a way to simulate at least part of the experience of playing the game. As most players won`t find half of stories elements before meeting the boss.
Its Father Gascoine quest that will make u hate pigs
"There are no happy endings in Bloodborne. There are just endings." This goes for the endings of the game, as well as the endings of the game's quests. There is no happy ending to the tale of Gascoigne's family: Before you even start the game, the father has already gone mad, the mother is already dead, Henryk is already doomed, the daughter is already alone... maybe the best ending you can give them is letting them rest in peace together... ... ...There is one very strange detail about Gascoigne's family though: The music box that was used to restore Gascoigne's memories. The tune it plays is the theme of one of the final bosses in the game: An eldritch deity residing in a nightmare in which it tries to take care of its stillborn child... In a way, that boss's situation strangely mirrors that of Gascoigne's family...
The ONE time in gaming I would have fought tooth and nail to complete an escort mission 😩
Check out tarnished archeologist think y’all would dig it
The most uncommon stories in a Soulsborne game is a happy ending.
Father Guacamole
Gascoigne with a fancy mustace and sombrero.
Congrat!🎉🎉 200K SUBSCRIBE🎁🎁✨✨🎉🎉
Yep, that's Bloodborne for ya
I'm assuming you guys are working up to it, but you guys might also want to watch the full Bloodborne main story explained by Vaati as well.
I was thankfully spared of all the depression that will be inflicted upon me should I play the Bloodborne game. My current physical health are now closely tied to my mental health.
I truly appreciate YT channels like VaatiVidya.
Happy Monday! This game is good!
YEAHHHH YEAHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH
I think this lay out works! I mean his final words that Vaati mentions. if you saw that before the lore video you would have no idea about. i guess you could still miss it or forget about it. but having the backstory before the fight i think is always good. Then about it being anticlimatic yes after a lore video going that deep most fights might be. However that is a common thing with the souls games! I think bloodborne is alot better at giving you some lore from interactions and leading you down the path for more. Although i can only remember the Gascoigne stuff being like that. By the way sorry about the spelling, english is my second language! I think i did okey but just to be safe!
Thanks so much for your feedback! Really appreciate it 😀
Definitely... did not need to know what happened to her sister.
Keep it up definitely not definte for real
Something that I've always found interesting about Bloodborne, in a somewhat morbid way, is that even if you accomplish all your goals and eradicate the source of the plague, everyone in Yharnam is already doomed, regardless of your actions. By the time you fight the final boss, everyone you've met throughout your journey is already dead, gone mad, turned into a beast, or a combination of all three. The only thing your really doing is making sure the night and the hunt don't go on forever.
Wait till they learn of Iosefka.
plss honkai star rail trailers next :D great video
I think fight first lore second works cause that's how most Souls players consume the content. I always go to Vaati to learn more after beating a Fromsoft game.
wow
I finished Bloodborne 5 times, and I didn't knew about these 2 sisters, and how the 2 older sisters died
I don't think there was a second sister. Otherwise the younger one would have mentioned her.
If you send the little girl to Iosefka's clinic, she makes it, but gets turned into a monster you have to put down. Also the older sister was going insane because after you give her the ribbon of her sister and you start to leave you hear her say, "Such a pretty white ribbon... and it's all MINE now hee hee hee...". Rom the Spider was doing their best to keep everyone covered in a barrier (not accurate but will give you an idea what I mean), but you have to kill Rom to find the source of evil that plagues the town because Rom's barrier keeps it concealed, which unfortunately removes that barrier so the whole town starts to go crazy. That's about the time you give her the ribbon, so the older sister was already starting to lose it. Yeah... Fromsoft is not known for happy outcomes. Even the "best good" endings you can get, are not that great, but it gives you an end. Whether it be bitter sweet, or just ending the issue at hand to give possible hope for a new beginning.
She drank the blood 😭
Each of my friends that have played Bloodborne always runs into that little girl. And they always ask me how they help her and I always give them the same answer easy DONT HELP HER AT ALL. In fact, don't talk to her either.😂
Please view the other prepare to cries of elden ring. The blessing of despair and the age of the duskborne both require a watch
I believe his name is pronounced “Daddy Gas-cans”, but that might be a regional dialect
😂😜
Gascoigne is the technical first mandatory boss of the game. As such he is pretty easy if you get the gist of the game down.
Idea persona 5 but you look at all enemies,bosses and personas description what they represent
Yesss Bloodborne
If you guys ever had the time, watch Max0r's Bloodborne video, it's one of his best works.
Bloodborne is a world where the horror genre as a whole has infected the soul of the world. This prevents anyone from having a TRUE good ending. Everything continues the ruinous cycle within the world. Become a great one, congratulations you now are part of the problem. Leave the hunter's dream, the world hasn't changed and you have one life now.
This world is infected with intrigue, despair and an unknowable future. This makes Bloodborne my favorite game of all time.
I'm sure it's not at the top of the list. I was wondering when you guys would start reacting to the lore of Destiny 2?
yea def not a bad idea on having the boss first so the story isn't weighting you guys down cuz of how sad it is lol
Haha, do a quick pick me up before getting brought down 😂😭
New helluva boss episode out
A good video to watch if you want to get the overall feel of bloodborne would be Bloodborne: A World Without Hope. Highly suggest watching it.
I think you should take a look at all of the skills from one piece odessey
I hope you'll react to Bloodborne's lore in it's entirety, like with Elden ring
Do the lore of Ludwig he’s is truly sad 😢
You guys should react to eldin ring all boss battles
When I first played BB and completed this storyline, I was so genuinely distraught after finding out the little girl was killed by that damn pig that I actually looked at guides to see if she could've been saved. I have a policy to not look at guides when going through a game for the first time, as I want my experience to be my own, but I couldn't let it go that she was killed.
When you're from the US and so used to weirdly spelled names that you think a normally spelled name must be somehow weirdly pronounced lol. "Gas-coy-nyeh"?
what
8 Year ago. First Time playing. No thanks
2 years ago. Second time playing. Am done with this game.
A week ago: Where is Bloodborne II ?
I admit.. i was completly wrong, played it wrong. The Lore is rich and the design is outstanding. + Thanks to good lore videos.
