Remember than in addition of that, he actually does learn how to use many weapons all by himself, slaught dozens of eldritch creatures, some cosmic gods, and all you said before in ONE F*CKING NIGHT.
Not a week, not even 24 full hours no.
He started at dusk and finsihed his shift at dawn.
This is my main character's build, I love it so much.
Throw on some visceral runes and just obliterate anything on a parry
Or just gun things down with ash shots
brb playing some more bloodborne
Best thing to do is stay directly in front of him and bait the head swipe attacks, giving you 1-2 hits each time. Just keep walking straight back. Its not fun, but it works. An exercise in patience. I used the burial blade.
Nah, I go with this disgusting setup:
"Parry with the 'Pallash and then rekt a fool with a Bone ash Cannon"
-Epic Name Bro
Power up the Bass Cannon, FIRE! Guaranteed to mine as much salt as Giantdad's first inception. Broke the game so hard, Fromsoft had to nerf it by increasing Ammo required to fire the cannon but that didn't stop players from sacrificing their HP before parrying for more ammo.
I’d lose the fight immediately afterwards cuz I would have jumped and screamed from hype, enough time for Malenia to sneeze on me, recover half her health, and nuke my health bar.
i like to imagine this is a Great One Hunter in the true ending who can shapeshift from >!squid!< to Hunter. Malenia just killed The Doll. Great One Hunter is mad.
I suspect not. Maybe the blood of the eldritch things (the fingers maybe) could compare?
But the old blood flows in the Hunter's veins. The transfusion is what made them the Hunter after all.
I actually suspect so. The rot is >!a manifestation of divine influence. Otherwise the unalloyed gold needle wouldn't have had an effect on Millicent!<. Additionally, the Hunter can still be afflicted by poisons in Bloodborne, so being transfused with the old blood probably wouldn't give an inherent immunity. Also, there's a line in an item description somewhere in ER that says even the demigods had to deal with the scarlet rot affliction.
The hunter is on another level of strength I swear he could rule the From Soft multiverse if he wanted
Like yes all protagonists have their strengths but idk, the hunter is dealing with some crazy shit and doesn't even flinch, he sprints at the bosses
Not to mention he is the only one to fight and usurp a god in its prime while transcending himself into godhood. Like, yea in DS1 you fight Gwyn, but he is a shell of his former self.
Yeah it's implied but nothing is confirmed of course. But we do know that pale blood was used to treat illnesses so we can draw our conclusions from that
Yeah thats true. When defeating Bosses you get the notification "Prey slaugthered" wich is proof enough that you actively HUNT for everything inside the Bloodborne Universe.
Not The Hunter is scared of the Beasts and Bosses. They are scared of The Hunter wich can be inspected by the reaction of some monsters and even bosses who despise The Hunter. Some eve cower in fear when they see The Hunter.
And he will.
Joking aside, honestly they feel pretty easily matched. Both can counter an attack and take advantage, both are quick and can dodge easily. I think the Hunter has faced more daunting enemies, by a margin, but at the end of the day I think the Hunter has the ability to be more adaptable than Wolf.
Ds3 is as fast as Elden ring if only a tiny bit slower. I think the ashen one could do it
Non of the other protagonists aside from the tarnished have any way to deal with scarlet rot so they’re kinda fucked if they get hit with it
The Ashen One is just the Tarnished without all the badass Ashes of War (weapon arts can’t hang). He’d have the easiest time of the souls protags, but he’s going to have a hard time winning with his usual r1 spam.
It was actually a big topic for a bit that Malenia's combat style feels like it would pair against Wolf really well. Being able to parry the entirety of waterfowl and then have a broken stance opening would be cool
Let’s not forget the minigun , the literal cannon , the crazy hunter tools that lets him dodge super fast or use an eldritch slug to create a small star explosion that wrecks , or turn into a literal beast or cauliflower man . She got no hope
Meanwhile, in Bloodborne:
Interior, Nightmare of Mensis. Mycolash is curled up into a fetal position, being kicked by the Tarnished and their Mimic Tear.
Tarnished: Layer of thy mother!
Mimic Year: Maidenless wretch!
Both spit on Mycolash before carrying on towards the exit.
Malenia: I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella, and i have never known Defeat.
Tarnished: *Rings the bell*
The Great One Hunter: *Appears*
Malenia: 'Why do i feel Dread?'
(LATER)
Malenia: And thats how i ended up here...
*Malenia is seen in the afterlife with other people afraid and defeated by the Hunter*
Micolash: You got off easy...
It's like the elevator fight in Chainsaw Man.
Malenia and the Hunter trading blows in a battle of attrition. Material healing of hits, and the Hunter rallying the health right back after.
I’m uh, I’m gonna say no. ACs are anywhere from 10-15 meters tall and made of hyper strong and durable metals, not counting energy shields and other protective barriers.
Yeah makes sense. Just wanted to be sure since i didn't read bloodborne lore yet so i didn't really know anything about how powerful the hunter is i just kinda thought "if he can kill cosmic horrores can he fuck up an AC?"
The cosmic horrors in question are weak asf physically, they only have strong mental powers, kos was killed by harpoons but then brought an entire village to hell with a final curse before her death. We don't really know if hoonter can do anything like that. Pretty much everyone in soulsborne gets whooped by an AC
When3ver i see this image i can only imagine kais theme from kung fu panda 3 playing with the hunter changing the weapon form to the beat the way kai hits the ground to the beat with his chain blades
Hunter is the strongest protagonist in any FromSoftware souls-like. Like, dude can carry a literal cannon in one hand and a greatsword in the other like its nothing
Tbf in terms of physical strenght i'm pretty sure Tarnished carrying 2 literal man-sized hunks of metal and doing frontflips (lion's claw) with them is more impressive
It's a German hunter
"Scarlet Rot!? Your gimmick is RED RED! Well, you'll be seeing it drip down your forehead before this is over" *starts unloading bullets" , before visceral hitting with switch saw.
Just gunna leave this here lol
[https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/upis24/ah\_yes/](https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/upis24/ah_yes/)
Okay it took me a long time to beat OOK, but I have never felt anything like the despair Malenia invoked in me when, on try 100 or so, I thought I'd beaten her by the skin of my teeth... Only to discover phase 2.
I did end up soloing her, but try #100 was nowhere near the final...
When Malenia start waking up from her sleep while gazing at The Hunter she hear "Oh, don't you worry. Whatever happens...you may think it all a mere bad dream."
The Hunter really do be lookin’ like he’s taking this one personally xD
The hunter just clapped an orphan, dozens of furrys and some cosmic gods who are beyond human imagination. Waifu with sword is in danger
I like that you just said "orphan"
You knew what they were talking about didn’t you? Then it works.
Of course I did, that little bastard gave me hours of glorious trauma
YYYYYYEEEEAAAAOOWWWWWW
That’s… a good way to put it
Not his first "waifu with sword" rodeo either
Hahaimindanger.gif
He doesn’t give a fuck where they can park
Remember than in addition of that, he actually does learn how to use many weapons all by himself, slaught dozens of eldritch creatures, some cosmic gods, and all you said before in ONE F*CKING NIGHT. Not a week, not even 24 full hours no. He started at dusk and finsihed his shift at dawn.
Its a tall woman with a sword, *De javu* make him lock in.
r/boneappletea
You know its déjà vu, right..? right??
Ye
De what now??
De Javu is like a cross between Taekwondo and Jiu Jitsu.
Deja vu ive just been in this place before
Higher on the street and I know it's my time to go
Calling you and the search is a mystery
"Like they owe you money, good hunter. Like they owe you money" *The Doll*
Except the money that they owe you is actually blood.
Oi tart! I 'eard you's givin my bruv grief.
I’m not feeling well. Reading on the can. This made me laugh hard enough to get the last of the shitwater out of me. Thank you, so so much
He channels the frustration of being ignored by Sony
If one thing should be animated… it’s this fight.
Agreed
The Chad Hunter has had his beast blood pellets.
And don't forget the thunder paper
It bolt you fool
this goes unimaginably hard
*Nightmarishly hard
“We’ve been ringing this bell forever, we have!”
Waterfowl dance getting parried by a shotgun would be hype as shit.
I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella, and I have never known defea- *gets shot in the head*
+10 evelyn + 60 Bloodtinge + bone marrow + parrythisyoufilthycasual.png
This is my main character's build, I love it so much. Throw on some visceral runes and just obliterate anything on a parry Or just gun things down with ash shots brb playing some more bloodborne
Gatling gun go brrrrrr
I’m suffering my way through the defiled chalice trying to platinum. They were joking about amygdala.
Wait till you meet the Defiled Watchdog
That’s what I’m fighting right now.
Idk if it will help but this was my Watchdog kill, I have other bosses up on there as well: https://youtu.be/Ij947czdSfE?si=uvQ3pfnghqQB2p1x

Afaik evelyn works too, but i guess the canon deals more *slams table* EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
"...And I have never known def-" *Click* Hunter: "Say that again?"
This is how you makes Defiled Amygdala a joke.
Better yet, Reiterpallasch parry into a BMA-buffed Evelyn shot for the sweet, sweet 5.1x multiplier
Fucking executed
I’d lose the fight immediately afterwards cuz I would have jumped and screamed from hype, enough time for Malenia to sneeze on me, recover half her health, and nuke my health bar.
That life steal should be considered a war crime
I need Waterflow Dance to be parried by a shotgun and her thrust attack to get Mikiri countered.
i like to imagine this is a Great One Hunter in the true ending who can shapeshift from >!squid!< to Hunter. Malenia just killed The Doll. Great One Hunter is mad.
That’s pretty interesting. Think about it, a Great One that still works as a Hunter, who is now even stronger.
Holy shit, if the Hunter is like Batman then that would be like fucking Superman in Yharnam.
Yharnam cardboard speech
The Great Hunter
Noden made manifest! A hunter without peer that hunts the old ones for the sport.
My name Great Hunter… you killed my girlfriend… prepare to die…
Someone is about to taste defeat for the first time
# NIGHTMARE SLAIN
“Prey slaughtered”
Chat, does antidote cleanse cosmic rot?
No, but the old blood does. Fear the old blood.
Are there blood vial equivalents in ER?
I suspect not. Maybe the blood of the eldritch things (the fingers maybe) could compare? But the old blood flows in the Hunter's veins. The transfusion is what made them the Hunter after all.
Does cosmic rot affect a cosmic being?
Hmm, probably not, but the Hunter pictured there clearly hasn’t ascended yet.
I actually suspect so. The rot is >!a manifestation of divine influence. Otherwise the unalloyed gold needle wouldn't have had an effect on Millicent!<. Additionally, the Hunter can still be afflicted by poisons in Bloodborne, so being transfused with the old blood probably wouldn't give an inherent immunity. Also, there's a line in an item description somewhere in ER that says even the demigods had to deal with the scarlet rot affliction.
No.
This goes Nightmarishly hard
You know Hunter has the beast arm on backup without having to worry about carry weight.
I won't lie I've wished for just one round against her with my precious Evelyn, see what Waterfowl thinks of hot lead to the face
*Quicksilver >_>
The hunter is on another level of strength I swear he could rule the From Soft multiverse if he wanted Like yes all protagonists have their strengths but idk, the hunter is dealing with some crazy shit and doesn't even flinch, he sprints at the bosses
Not to mention he is the only one to fight and usurp a god in its prime while transcending himself into godhood. Like, yea in DS1 you fight Gwyn, but he is a shell of his former self.
Bro did all of that cos he wanted some pale blood and to pass through the city 😭
I think it's even implied that the hunter just wanted some blood treatment for an illness and ended up in this shit.
When you can't afford healthcare so you instead transcend to godhood.
The ultimate power move. Can't get sick if I'm incorporeal
I just came in for my Dialysis and I woke up here....
Yeah it's implied but nothing is confirmed of course. But we do know that pale blood was used to treat illnesses so we can draw our conclusions from that
Actually no, Paleblood is the Moon Presence. We were after the Moon from the start.
Bro was just tryna get free healthcare. That’s what he gets for visiting England.
Hey buddy I'm English! I'm not a god... Yet... 😒😒
MFer rips out his own blood, forms it into a bullet, and shoots a MFer MFer is apart of the Bloods and all the way down in the Crypts
MFer stabs himself with a spiky mace to make a bigger bloody spiky mace.
Yeah thats true. When defeating Bosses you get the notification "Prey slaugthered" wich is proof enough that you actively HUNT for everything inside the Bloodborne Universe. Not The Hunter is scared of the Beasts and Bosses. They are scared of The Hunter wich can be inspected by the reaction of some monsters and even bosses who despise The Hunter. Some eve cower in fear when they see The Hunter.
Sekiro also could rule fs
Do you think Wolf could beat The Hunter
Shadows die 2 times bruh
Good thing the hunter took out 3 of them in the forbidden woods
Good point...
And he will. Joking aside, honestly they feel pretty easily matched. Both can counter an attack and take advantage, both are quick and can dodge easily. I think the Hunter has faced more daunting enemies, by a margin, but at the end of the day I think the Hunter has the ability to be more adaptable than Wolf.
Depends
Also he got a gun
John Bloodborne about to beat her ass !
I'd R2 spin to win the extended Hunter's Axe on her and recover 80% of my health in one combo *HOW'S IT FEEL TO GET RALLIED ON, MALENIA? HUH?*
ITS RALLY TIME!!!!
Sekiro would also flatten Malenia
Every protagonist would flatten Malenia. Why? Because I’m in control
Every protagonist would be flatten by Malenia if I'm in control
Every protagonist would be flattened by Malenia if E621 was in control.
E621? buddy that’s a completely different thing
We talking about C4-621 or Malenia as a uh, catgirl?
Every control would be flattened by protagonist if I’m Malenia
Both would wreck Malenia, they’re just perfect counters to her. The dark souls and demon souls protagonists would get wrecked hard.
Dark souls Pyro wrecks Melenia.
The souls protags are too slow, she would easily dodge anything they throw at her. The only way I see them winning is being a parry god.
Ds3 is as fast as Elden ring if only a tiny bit slower. I think the ashen one could do it Non of the other protagonists aside from the tarnished have any way to deal with scarlet rot so they’re kinda fucked if they get hit with it
The Ashen One is just the Tarnished without all the badass Ashes of War (weapon arts can’t hang). He’d have the easiest time of the souls protags, but he’s going to have a hard time winning with his usual r1 spam.
the only protagonist I could think of that could maybe ignore scarlet rot would be C4-621
God I’d love to see Malenia take a chaos bed vestige to the face
It was actually a big topic for a bit that Malenia's combat style feels like it would pair against Wolf really well. Being able to parry the entirety of waterfowl and then have a broken stance opening would be cool
Malenia and Demon of Hatred swapped games with each other
The parry and visceral would make easy work of her.
r/hardimages
Sauce?
I looooove the composition of how the hunter is spawning in at an angle towards the "camera" 😩
“You will witness true horror” “You ever been to Yharnam, lady?”
Let’s not forget the minigun , the literal cannon , the crazy hunter tools that lets him dodge super fast or use an eldritch slug to create a small star explosion that wrecks , or turn into a literal beast or cauliflower man . She got no hope
Meanwhile, in Bloodborne: Interior, Nightmare of Mensis. Mycolash is curled up into a fetal position, being kicked by the Tarnished and their Mimic Tear. Tarnished: Layer of thy mother! Mimic Year: Maidenless wretch! Both spit on Mycolash before carrying on towards the exit.
“This Malenia… she’s a Demi-god, you say?” “Indeed, good hunter. A truly dangero-“ “Is that all?”
Malenia: I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella, and i have never known Defeat. Tarnished: *Rings the bell* The Great One Hunter: *Appears* Malenia: 'Why do i feel Dread?' (LATER) Malenia: And thats how i ended up here... *Malenia is seen in the afterlife with other people afraid and defeated by the Hunter* Micolash: You got off easy...
Fear the old blood.
Made me smile when I discovered the summoning bells 😁
What’s the source for this image?
Malenia would be so easy to parry
Whoa calm down good hunter, don’t pull out the 9
All I’m saying if I had my good Hunter build, she would be in Evelyn parry and Chikage hell!
One of my favorites 💚
ARISE
Me after getting obliterated by Ludwig for the 1700 time
John Bloodborne solos Melania
i truly believe that the hunter is the strongest protagonist of all souls
It's like the elevator fight in Chainsaw Man. Malenia and the Hunter trading blows in a battle of attrition. Material healing of hits, and the Hunter rallying the health right back after.
Why do bloodborne outfits go so freaking hard
Yeah The Hunter would ragdoll Malenia trough the entire Kingdom. Dude is on another level.
Bloodletter goes brrrrrr
I'd genuinely love to have this fight. Fear the old blood, b*tch.
Hunter's rally + Malenia's lifesteal = long boss fight
A Hunter… *must hunt.*
The Hunter would hit the lands between like the meteors that radahn was holding up
Lore wise does the hunter stand a chance against an armored core? I like to think that he does but i dont think its easy.
I’m uh, I’m gonna say no. ACs are anywhere from 10-15 meters tall and made of hyper strong and durable metals, not counting energy shields and other protective barriers.
Yeah makes sense. Just wanted to be sure since i didn't read bloodborne lore yet so i didn't really know anything about how powerful the hunter is i just kinda thought "if he can kill cosmic horrores can he fuck up an AC?"

Id rather summon Sekiro for Malenia
bro be like me going to the koz elevator that i self cared
Holy shit what??? This image is old af
Man would shoot that woman midair with a shotgun
Time to go to work
Something I’ve wondered with this drawing about, is the hunter we all know and love or is he the grown hunter after he became a god?
Someone's about to take a knee, many times in a row
Very cool
This shit’s like SpongeBob drawing Doodlebob beofre he beat the shit out of Squidward

Its him! John Borne!
If its with my build then shes dead
And then the hunter went on to kill Malenia, drink her blood and turn into a squid
I mean The Hunter would utterly Humiliate Malenia
I'm now imagining the hunter baby shaking Melania like Toji V Megumi

Naw the Hunter really is him though 💥🪚
How is the hunter stronger than tarnished? Just a genuine question not trying to be rude
They're not really, although I suppose eldritch gods are typically considered more powerful than demigods
It's a German hunter "Scarlet Rot!? Your gimmick is RED RED! Well, you'll be seeing it drip down your forehead before this is over" *starts unloading bullets" , before visceral hitting with switch saw.
I just need SHF to put their Malenia up for Pre-Order and the. I can recreate this image lol
Ok, but, isn't sekiro gonna be better against malenia?
Just gunna leave this here lol [https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/upis24/ah\_yes/](https://www.reddit.com/r/bloodborne/comments/upis24/ah_yes/)
The Hunter looks like David in the Cyberpunk intro 🎶this fire🎶
nah, She'd win
I would have summoned wolf from Sekiro instead.
Insight overdose
That would be a like second till end for boss
Yo, Hunter would have this ass clapped in 10 seconds on god.
The Elden Lord appeared.
Okay it took me a long time to beat OOK, but I have never felt anything like the despair Malenia invoked in me when, on try 100 or so, I thought I'd beaten her by the skin of my teeth... Only to discover phase 2. I did end up soloing her, but try #100 was nowhere near the final...
hunter proceeds to solo her with a gun
hunter proceeds to solo her with a gun
Rip Hunter 😔
When Malenia start waking up from her sleep while gazing at The Hunter she hear "Oh, don't you worry. Whatever happens...you may think it all a mere bad dream."
HELL YEAH
“I’m built for this fight!”
wholesome ending: the hunter looks beyond her, and kills the connection between her and the god of rot
