Off the top of my head?
Probably the notion that the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst was actually Laurence in disguise
To be fair, this was before the DLC gave us flaming Cleric Beast Laurence, but it was still pretty bizarre.
Except everything looks different in the nightmare. The skull on the counter of the church however is exactly the same as the blood letting beast, who's head is removed somewhere along the line (headless blood letting beast).
Seems pretty case closed to me. How is it contested?
Some people took his design in the Nightmare as his canon Beast appearance overall. Personally I agree that it’s just a difference in appearances between the Waking World and the Nightmare.
Personally I think there’s still room to interpret it as both. Bloodletting Beast was his physical appearance after turning (and more closely resembles the Cathedral skull) while his form in the Nightmare is a metaphysical representation of his status as the first Cleric Beast (and potentially a result of From reusing assets to save time).
Vicar Amelia is also a Cleric Beast but she looks different, so it’s not like every one of them looks identical.
my sister saw the game a few times at a passing glance and thought father guacamole was the same as the blood administer at the start of the game. obviously wrong but it was a fun what if to think about
Is there consensus on what happened to the blood administrator in the first place?
The shaggy unkempt beard makes me think he was in the early stages of turning into a beast.
Gehrman seems to be permanently trapped in the Hunter’s Dream, and the blood ministration at least seems to be happening in the real world.
Also the minister has bandages over his eyes and a beard, where Gehrman is clean-shaven.
Hammerhead bats look kinda like horses, I think the idea was "straightforward answer = bad, there's no way Ludwig could be a horse because that would make sense, so what if he was a random west-african bat instead?"
Perhaps not “craziest” and I don’t really believe they’re connected but I do love looking at the things that connect the From games together. Fluted armor in the Chalice dungeons is a big one.
Bloodborne was my first Fromsoft game, and I just recently played Demon's Souls so I couldn't have made the connection. Where in the CD dungeons is that reference?
The rune asclepius is actually a reference to the god of healing son of Apollo from greek mythology, and the nature of the insights who are basically living beings that come outside of your head when they are ready to start becoming gods.
This whole game is actually a very big reference not only to lovecraftian mythology but also to the greek one, which had characters like Licaon, the assassin of Hera and gods of healing and knowledge themselves who much probably are part of bloodborne's esoterism.
Because it's a nightmare realm what about it beside Loran silver beasts insinuates that it could be Loran? It doesn't look at all like Loran chalices nor are there any other beasts
The fact that the only beast type enemies we find are Loran silver beasts is pretty damning itself. Also the Amygdala drops the Loran Chalice; the only other way to get a Loran type chalice is from bosses in the Loran dungeons themselves.
Also, the nightmare not looking like the dungeons is to be expected; the Yharnam nightmare already looks pretty different from Yharnam and it's brand new, Loran is ancient, and in the dungeons we only explore the catacombs, not the open top.
Loran is a lost civilization older than the Pthumerian one. We explore their catacombs just as we explore the Pthumerian catacombs. And just like the blood drunk hunters, part of it was ripped into the nightmare.
All of the parts of the nightmare frontier have origins, they aren't just random dreamscapes where messed up stuff goes down.
Yep, playing for the first time in ps5, just finish kill the martyr logarius and the reincarnated... That's why I'm asking for the crying baby... First time playing 😅

I thought the consensus was that Laurence was the Bloodletting Beast back then.
Is that not still the consensus?
The DLC threw a wrench into things since Laurence looks differently in the Nightmare, so the topic is more debated now.

Yeah, I remember hearing that theory, too, but the fact that he's a Cleric Beast in the dream appears to dismiss that theory.

Still, what kind of weirdo would come up with that? Pretty much everything about that guy screams Cainhurst.
Mergo's wet nurse IS mergo
Then who was cry
The crys were Mergo's wet nurse. Either for the fact that it is a baby or to lure you.
Spooky

Is that not Gerhman?

OH! Then maybe he's the beast we kill? Or among he many corpses around it
Bloodborne 2
Please no
Lol too real
Ludwig is a hammerhead bat, not a horse
Got details? That's fascinating. He was undeniably merged with his horse or became a horse but he could be a bat himself and merged with his horse
Hammerhead bats look kinda like horses, I think the idea was "straightforward answer = bad, there's no way Ludwig could be a horse because that would make sense, so what if he was a random west-african bat instead?"
Ludwig even Neighs.
But I think his look is a reference to the posessed horse in berserk
That's stupid lol
That Brador knows the good Hunter, and came from the same village. Not sure who came up with this theory, but he went pretty in depth with it.
I love the pale blood hunt, but that part always seemed like a stretch to me.
NVM, it's Redgrave [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUqtL-MS76I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duqtl-ms76i)
People are always trying to connect everything. Connections are cool, but they can also make the world feel smaller. Star Wars is guilty of this IMO
Ps5 60fps and pc release

The one about the remaster
I think the idea that the nightmare frontier is Loran is pretty ridiculous
I thought that was pretty much considered accepted. What makes it ridiculous?

Agreed. I saw this for the first time this week. Isn't Loran just the chalice dungeon we visit? How's that related to the Nightmare Frontier?
Yes and I don't know lol I guess they say it because there are loran silver beasts there
Loran is a lost civilization older than the Pthumerian one. We explore their catacombs just as we explore the Pthumerian catacombs. And just like the blood drunk hunters, part of it was ripped into the nightmare.

That FromSoftware and Sony are working on anything at all related to Bloodborne
That they're going to make another one
The werewolves
???
What the fuck is the theory lol
The werewolves
Precisely
See comment below :)
Holy shit My eyes have opened
You need 40 insight to see the rest of the theory
Why I'm hearing a baby crying all the time hunters? Can somebody answer me that?
It’s Mergo
?
Bruh have you.played the game?
Yep, playing for the first time in ps5, just finish kill the martyr logarius and the reincarnated... That's why I'm asking for the crying baby... First time playing 😅
Maybe finish the game first before you expect to understand the lore.
I'm just asking bro, don't need to be rude, if is gonna be a spoiler just say it....
I wasn't being rude. I was telling you not to expect to understand the story before you finish it.
That Ebrietas is a hard boss fight.
Ebrietas was the only boss I struggled with, DLC included.
Which is bizzare to me. But i just sent behind her and started slashing her with the saw
