The Secret Religion of Old Yharnam | Bloodborne Archaeology Ep. 1

I'm not surprised at a connection between Cainhurst and any part of Yharnam as I always thought that "Cainhurst" was the name of the castle, not another country, and the inhabitants of the castle used to rule Yharnam (castles nearby cities usually housing the feudal lord, right?) until the Healing Church launched a revolution to get rid of them.

Something I absolutely love about this channel is how we get to learn about history in the context of how they are masterfully iterated by Miyazaki and his FromSoft mythos creators in these games. Thank you for all the takes you bring to the table for these games!

It's worth noting Gascoigne does also reference the player characters smell during his fight "what's that smell?" And although Djura doesn't mention your scent he seems to recognise you're a hunter of the dream, so it might not just be a female thing.

Other lore YouTubers: takes notes furiously

Moonlit Melody is legitimately one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in a video game. It makes me cry every time. The doll was always singing it. But it took killing Rom for you to be able to hear it.

Bloodborne lore may the most deep, disturbing, and fascinating of all to me. Seeing this channel start to cover that is extremely exciting

When I first played Bloodborne and watched all the lore videos, it spun me into a psychosis. I was so broken by this perfectly written story that had so many puzzle pieces that fit together in such an impressive way. I couldn't stop studying it, thinking about it and playing it. It was a wild time in which I was already getting clean from longterm serious addiction. I wish I could play Bloodborne for the first time again. It was such a great discovery that I then shared with so many other people introducing them and finishing it with them to see their amazement to it. Art that impacted my soul, that I had to spread to everyone I could.

Me and some friends are drunk, just arived home. Ordered some burgers, they just arived. I open up youtube, and this video’s here. Thank you for providing us with not only 30 mins of enterteinment, but hours of afterchat, you are one of a kind

TA always hits. Some of the freshest lore takes around. Easily in my top tier of FromTubers

Please do Ailing Loran! I have been obsessed with the dark sandy dungeon. Electricity flows through the air as well as gale winds. Dark beasts also produces these aspects in the game. Everything about it is so interesting.

Those giant nose statues in the Church of the Good Chalice have always stuck in my mind. Another brilliant video, can't wait for more of this series!

Thank god he’s covering this game. Hands-down the best lore in From Soft’s catalogue

Damn you had my on the edge of my seat on this one… and I’ve played this game 20 times and seen practically every lore video. Truly a masterpiece in archeology.

19:44 love me some medieval "tiny men as babies" art

Im quite excited to see how you explore the Pthumerians and their relationship to their surviving descendants in the Vilebloods of Cainhurst, the wandering Pthumerian populace in close proximity to the foundations of the Healing Church throughout catherdral ward, and their interactions with the "humans" as we know them of Yharnam. The fact that 2 of the 3 women that describe being able to pick up your "scent" are of blood relation to the Pthumerians, and the last one a scientist studying how to incubate a child great one is quite interesting to me. I wonder what it suggests about humanity at large in Yharnam, or at the very least the close in connection you are to a great one, the more conscious of the scent of the others you become. Also quite curious that sp many Pthumerians are depicted chained or bound in one way or another. Yharnam is bound, Queen Annalise is sealed away, all the giants in Cathedral ward are chained... Even the snatchers are bound in rope. Perhaps relics of an ancient culture adopted to their new religion wasn't the only thing exumed from the chalices?

I'm stoked that you're doing Bloodborne lore. If this is what can be gleaned from a few statues above ground, then the Chalice Dungeons are going to be of truly epic scope if you cover them. Either way, I love how you can glean so much context by linking these statues to Queen Yharnam and the countless civilizations that rose and fell where the modern city now stands.

I loved the Elden Ring content and I'm super glad you decided to tackle other From titles, thank you SO much for lending your considerable intellect to interpret and share history with us - fabricated for a video game or not. You are consistently methodical, insightful and, most importantly, believable. This is always the new content on YouTube that I get most excited for, please never stop!

I always felt there was a pretty gaping hole in the knowledge base of yharnams history. So psyched you guys are looking into it, I'm sure we will get some amazing insights soon

Just now, thanks to your editing and narrative skills did I notice how the Hunter stares at the moon after slaying the Spider, likely because the Moon Presence was manifesting, but you didn't have enough insight to gaze upon it. But when the moon makes a new appearence in the Hunter's Dream, you can indeed see it. That is brilliant. I knew the moon was important but this video makes me rethink WHY it was so important. It's not just a celestial body that manifests a Great One. The moon IS the Great One. It's not just a rock, it's more than that?

I have always wondered about the damn hunched statues everywhere. No other lore hunters seemed to care about them.
