I think the story of the game is meant to be kind of meta in that people are driven crazy trying to figure out what shit means and they're full of questions even long after playing. Gehrman even says "don't think about all this too much, just go out and kill some beasts" and when Maria tries to stop you from going to the fishing hamlet she might as well be saying "pls no more lore videos"

Why dont I have the trophy for having all hunter weapons?
I found all weapons and guns including beast claws, wooden shield and torches but still no trophy.

It makes perfect sense, youre given bits and pieces but not everything is made known because it isnt really relevant. Zoom out in Space Engine and feel how small you are. Thats the structure in a nutshell.

>>324253980
I heard DLC glitched the game to not give the trophy. Idk if this was patched yet but there was some fix like buying a weapon from the shop will pop the trophy. Honestly you are a fag for not having it done like 6 months ago

>>324253923
Not him, but that's a huge element of eldritch horror. I guess it can be seen as kind of a narrative shortcut, but verbal exposition or ancient tablets or whatever would've stunk. Humans don't get to know what's up, and the game spent a long time establishing that.

>>324253818
They do have motives that are easily explainable. Most of the Great Ones want children and use humans as surrogates for their parental feelings. This fucks up humans so Moon Presence wants the other Great Ones dead to not fuck up humanity.

>all these retarded as fuck theories
Jesus. And I thought the /vg/ was stupid.

Anyway, what weapons do you faggots like the most?
I was prone to the Pizza Cutter when the DLC first released, but honestly, it's a pretty boring weapon. It's overpowered as fuck in PVE, but boring.

Lately I've been using Amy Arm and Based Cutter. Both are great fun.

>>324253980
Sometimes the game doesn't count the initial hunter weapon you get so go and buy the one you choose and see if you get it.

>>324254207
Moon Presence doesn't have an active motive. He's perfectly happy with his surrogate.

The only reason you kill him is because he is the entire reason the hunt (the dream) and the beast plague (red moon) persist. Paleblood refers to the sky that looks like "a body drained of blood" during the red moon, which is also noted in the Laurence note. By killing MP, you stop the endless cycle of beasts and hunters. That's what it meant by "transcend the hunt", you don't just stop one night of the hunt, but stop the cycle. However, the only way you can feasibly kill him and not get possessed was to become a great one, which is why you needed the cords.

>>324252071
He's never officially trained

That's why he can't used the art of quickening for example without the old hunter bone

I think you missed the point somewhere. Those volunteer civilians aren't real hunters, as they aren't connected to the Hunter's Dream. Hell, all the Hunters you meet in the base game are not connected to the Hunter's Dream anymore.

>>324255578

Only someone that is a hunter can enter the hunters dream. So the hero possessed some hunter-like character traits before the ministration.

The hunters were obviously flawed to begin with considering every single one you meet is either insane, a beast or suicidal. The only one that isn't is Eileen the Crow and that's because she's specifically a hunter dedicated to killing hunters.

You need to pay more attention. The MP doesn't give a FUCK about whether or not you kill the following Great Ones:

>orphan of kos

Which means that it doesn't care about you assassinating 2/3 of the Great One roster.

The MP wants you to kill the Wetnurse, AND ONLY the Wetnurse. It's being beckoned by Mergo and the Wetnurse is preventing the MP from claiming it as a surrogate. All other deaths, and the entire hunt, and deemed acceptable collateral damage in pursuit of this goal

I don't buy it. Just because the blood drunk Hunters in the nightmare used brutal weapons doesn't mean all the old hunters were just fuck mclargehuge beast crushers.

Yes they have the bone and they use it so they can temporarily quickstep, but Maria can do it whenever she wants, she doesn't need a tool.

Rom prayed to Kos (or perhaps the Orphan), and was granted eyes as a gift. However, like all Great One gifts, the gift was poisoned, and Rom became a potato in the process

>>324259387
Also it explains why she feels freed after you kill Maria.

>>324259329

No idea. All I know is the Doll was made as a replica of Maria. Maybe Gehrman fucked the doll since he didn't have the balls to fuck what was basically his daughter. Gehrman's lines about how "even the doll" pretty much confirms either he or previous hunters have gotten freaky with the Doll.

>>324259694
>the Plain Doll was a Great One the whole time
More like the doll became a great one due to all the blood echoes she was given from Hunters since the beginning of the Hunts

>>324259486
It could also be a hunter joke. When he says "Even the doll" she's just a doll but once you get some insight she comes to life and you can actually use her to level up. Only experienced hunters would know what was up with the doll so it could easily be something to mess with the new hunters.

>>324259818
No, it tells you what she did with it, same as how Marvel wiki tells me what Spidey's gauntlets do and how he built them.

Actually no. All those blood echoes were yours to consume not to trade. You just don't have the ability to do it like the doll. Just like in the previous games except DaS which is the bonfire instead of a waifu.

>>324259694

Isn't the Doll also one of the very few NPC's in the entire game that has pure white blood (NOT clear)? Last I checked, only the Great Ones had pure white blood, while Kin and lesser beings had clear blood.

>>324258718

That's true, but they're all heavily implied to have been fucked up well before that.

>The Old Hunters
Went insane and blood-addled a long time ago and were banished to the Hunter's Nightmare.

>The Healing Church Hunters
Murdered and kidnapped people so the Church could perform its experiments in peace. Also almost always turn into hideous beasts like Ludwig, Gascoigne, Amelia and Laurence.

>The Yahar'Gul Hunters
Were just thugs that kidnapped people for the School of Mensis and worshipped the Great Ones.

>The Powder Kegs
Implied to have gone blood-addled through their hatred of the beasts except for Djura, who goes batshit and starts killing humans to protect beasts instead.

>The Crows
Dying out as evidenced by Eileen's advanced age, with the only other Crow betraying them to become a Vileblood.

>Executioners
Absolutely insane and genocidal, evidenced by Alfred killing the Queen and committing suicide.

The only ones that aren't fucked up are the Workshop and that's only because Gehrman is using you.

>>324260371

The Vilebloods technically aren't hunters because the people of Cainhurst didn't turn into beasts. They turned into vampires instead which is why the Executioners want them dead.

You're right about Simon though, I forgot all about him.

>>324260694
>hunters trying to cooperate to do their job during the Hunt
>asking for some random asshole to murder them
Sure

>>324260802
But there are beasts in Cainhurst, the Knight Set explicitly states this

>Gascan is a foreigner
>Gascan is a hunter
Clearly there can never be any overlap between the two. Your character must have just been an average townsfolk with no combat training in their life who suddenly goes on to kill gods several hours later.

I would be having a blast if I didn't want to fucking play with my pal.

>>324261054
The bell maidens are in the employ of the Mensis, by killing hunters in the Nightmare you are indirectly serving their interests and contributing to the towns destruction

>>324260802
Cainhurst still suffered from beasts, it's just that the blood they imbibed was from Queen Yharnam and was teeming with vermin. It's possible that instead of lychanthropy, the vermin caused people to transform into bloodlickers (and the heavy usage allowed the women of Cainhurst to become "ghosts"*).
It allowed Annalise to achieve immortality, and Maria to attain mastery of blood magic.

Basically, the church didn't want such powerful stuff falling in the wrong hands.
Why they didn't research it themselves instead of just forbidding it, I don't know.

*My personal head canon is that the "ghosts" have imbibed enough forbidden blood to survive death, but not enough to achieve immortality like Annalise.

>>324260936

You're right. They're still pretty fucked up though, I'm not sure how you could say they're not. They're all about killing hunters to feed their vampire queen tainted blood.

>>324261501
I think we can all agree they're better than the Church, though, including the Executioners.

>>324261501
They're about killing blood addled hunters whose veins are rich with echoes due to imbibing mass amounts of blood. There's little difference between the Vilebloods and the Hunters of Hunters.

Which may be why the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst subscribes to both.

>>324261501
I never said they weren't fucked up

>>324261405

Would depend on the nature of the undead in Bloodborne really. The only places we see them are Cainhurst, the Chalice Dungeons and Yahar'gul, all of which have direct connections to the Pthumerians. As far as I know it's never directly explained why they exist.

>>324261635
Everyone is better than the Healing Church, and the Executioners are just a bunch of self righteous hypocrites who blindly follow orders from literally the most evil group in the game.

>>324261687

Where did I say "blood-drunk"? I said blood addled, which is explicitly stated.
They went after those whose blood was rich with echoes, i.e. those who have imbibed lots of blood aka hunters.

No hunter stays pure, anon.
If you imbibe blood the way they do, you succumb sooner or later.

>Your character must have just been an average townsfolk with no combat training in their life who suddenly goes on to kill gods several hours later.

You can pick a backstory where you're a dainty little prissyboy. You coming into Yharnam with the martial skill to fight giant monsters is just as valid a backstory as you coming in Yharnam having never fired a gun in your life. Your character could totally have been an average person with no combat training because it doesn't matter.

No amount of training justifies being able to kill giant dragons and shit in any Souls game (even the excuse that you come in after everything is fucked and in decline only goes so far) but you can still do it anyway because guess what videogame. Even the backgrounds with the most combat implied combat experience ranges from "you could have been a shitty bandit" to "you were the bandit god king". The backstory for your characters matters fuck all which is the entire point.

You go in as some guy and end up killing everything left alive in X location. Whether you were a knight or a wizard or a baker matters fuck all and are all equally valid. The closest you ever get to the player character background mattering is BB where you're actively seeking Paleblood and got a summons to vampire town before the start of the game and even then the end result is still "whatever your background was before you started the game doesn't matter".

the Mensis ritual is trying to beckon the Moon (which includes the MP), and they're using an infant (aka Mergo) to do it. The only way you wouldn't draw this conclusion is by a catastrophic lack of attention to the item descriptions and lore notes that you come across.
>how do you know that the MP doesn't care about the others
by the fact that it allows you to exit the dream while leaving all of them alive. if it wanted you to kill them, it wouldn't let you leave until you did

Why do you think he had no bloodborne lore stuff up near the launch while ENB was doing a bunch of lore? Everyone was too busy shitposting NEVER EVER to start working on lore theorys.

>>324253396
Your "contract" is complete and Gherman frees you from the dream when you kill Mergo. Seems like that's what you were there to do.

Also they never really outright explain why Great Ones' children are always stillborn, but considering your "mission" in the Hunters' dream (which the Moon Presence has dominion over) is to kill an infant great one while it's being conceived and other hunters have been in the dream like you have, you might theorize that this is something the Moon Presence does a lot.

>>324264776
She's an immortal being that has probably had a couple potential suitors in the past that always wound up dead. It's no surprise that she'd dismiss your advances because she probably thinks you'll end up dead just like all the others while she's left on her throne alone as Queen of a dead kingdom.

She's just a lonely woman that figures she's better off alone than seeing the person she loves eventually die. Classic immortal dilemma.

>>324265705
There used to be a video where a guy compared one of Vaati's lore videos to some other guy's that was made before Vaati's and Vaati clearly plagiarized a lot of it. The video has been made private since though.

>>324265724
it's not that they're always stillborn, it's that the Great One always loses it. so it's either stillborn, or it dies/ is killed. to an immortal Great One, they would always "lose their surrogate" regardless of whether or not they're stillborn, since some asshole hunter always comes along and murders them

so did the old ones really care about humans or did they just pretend to like humans because they needed a human woman to bear their children?

I see.

But it's clearly more suffering to become strawberry jam than just to go to oblivion.

Alfred REALLY is hardcore

>>324265886
Or they could just lose track of it. I mean, I expect that since Great Ones can create dreams and dimensions that it's not unheard of that their child could move between them easily as they probably don't know how to control their abilities yet.

>>324265724
>Also they never really outright explain why Great Ones' children are always stillborn,
Not necessarily stillborn(Kos dies to give birth to Orphan, another way of losing a child), but I guess it's based on the concept that the more complex a creature, the fewer offspring it has. That would mean an incredibly advanced and higher dimensional being would be doomed to almost always fail at reproducing and must resort to other means.

>>324265978
Most great old ones were sympathetic to humans, hell some might have even been humans in the past, but humans can't comprehend them. The best they could do was make contact and hope one of the old ones planted a rune in their brains.

>>324263548

Vaati had early access to the game as well. Still didn't do a video until some dude wrote a thesis on Bloodborne. Suspicious, huh?

>>324268326
Anon that is very true, but the least the faggot could do is say "I didn't come up with this idea", but he doesn't.

>>324268478
I mean im not gonna lie if i could make money by stealing shit i see on /v/ i would do it without a second thought

Doll is the cutest level up waifu.

Im no expert on the subject but Im preety sure not everyone can instantly make videos

>>324268582
Ok I guess.

But ENB had access to the full game before most did. it's not weird that he then had ideas for content and theories already lined out before anyone.

>>324268676
Full access like what was given to the guys working on the guides? Or demos?

>>324268676
he also started with the exact same fucking HP Lovecraft quote

>He just rolls into pots and crates for hours
>Better stay inside, clearly insane

I agree.

>>324268851
Think this just shows that Bloodborne isn't as open to interpretation as most claim.

A bunch of people reaching the same conclusions about a limited set of information isn't all that weird.

>>324268839
f@m it doesn't take that long to clear BB, it's less than 30 hours. Even if ENB had early access, we would still expect to see the lorevideos start coming out in waves around the first ~1-2 weeks post-release. but this didn't happen. because either the ENTIRE youtube community gave up because ENB's vids were popular (which is dumb to assume, since this never stopped anyone before) or they were all waiting for others to supply their theories for them, since they didn't understand it

>>324268839
Vaati had a review copy.

>>324268970
You should go visit that giant pig in the sewers

>>324268326
>>But nothing posted on /v/ belongs to anyone.
What was that old 4chan disclaimer stating that all posts belong to their respective posters?

Why do the Doll's hands and fingers make me exetremly aroused?

>>324269030
it's one thing to reach the same conclusions

it's quite another to quote the source word-for-word without crediting the original author

you unbelievable Vaati shill

>>>/youtube comments section/

>>324269030
He had access to BB for a long time, and didn't release this summary video until shortly after The Paleblood Hunt, and it started with the same exact quote. It's not even the only instance of stealing, it's just the most damning.

He could at least give credit and say he may have had inspiration from it but he refuses to even acknowledge it and continues to profit off of other people's ideas.

>>324269030
I don't see how interpreting BB similarly means you have to use the exact same goddamn H.P. Lovecraft quote

>>324269196
because the cute segmented doll hands just make you want to hold them in your own hands

>>324268970
Kill the giant pig thats below the bridge where the flaming boulder rolls down.
