What's Really Going On In Bloodborne - The Hunters and The Heir

Rich Stanton of Kotaku wrote a very extensive interpretation of the narrative of Bloodborne that you can find here. The following is an excerpt from the article in which Rich presents his interpretation of humanity's motivation to commune with the Great Ones, and I highly recommend reading the original article in it's entirety. All content presented is the work of Rich Stanton and Kotaku, with only minor formatting changes made.


The Hunters and the Heir

One of the Caryll runes, Heir, says: “Perhaps the 'Heir' is a hunter who bears the echoing will of those that went before him.” We've already touched on the idea of the Great Ones requiring a surrogate but what exactly does that mean? We know that every Great One loses its child and yearns for a surrogate, which implies that though these beings can impregnate humans the resulting child never survives long. This can be seen lategame when the prostitute Arianna gives birth, an event precipitated by the encroaching red moon, and the 'child' is briefly alive.


What's Really Going On In Bloodborne - The Hunt and Old Yharnam

Rich Stanton of Kotaku wrote a very extensive interpretation of the narrative of Bloodborne that you can find here. The following is an excerpt from the article in which Rich presents his interpretation of the hunt and Old Yharnam, and I highly recommend reading the original article in it's entirety. All content presented is the work of Rich Stanton and Kotaku, with only minor formatting changes made.

The Hunt and Old Yharnam

The residents of Yharnam are familiar with the tradition of the hunt. When the moon comes close, the most blood-addled become beasts, and doors are closed for the night as hunters sweep the streets and slaughter their prey.

Gehrman was the first hunter, and the host of the Hunter's Dream, but we'll return to him later. What matters historically is that he inspired other hunters, some of whom followed his methods and some of whom diverged. The Healing Church had its own line of hunters, began by Ludwig, a necessity because as the most blood-addled citizens of all, clerics would turn into the most hideous beasts. It even began to create special blood gems for the task.

The Lore Hunter: A Resource for Community Lore & Story Content

Welcome!

The Lore Hunter is a site I originally created to archive and organize my own lore and story speculation for Bloodborne. While this site has been received by the community in a really positive way, I thought I could do better. While it is fun seeing my own content, I enjoy poring through the thoughts of the entire community. However, there is not one place where you can find all of the lore and story content the community produces.

Until now. 

Moving forward, The Lore Hunter is now a community resource. This site will aggregate all of the content the community generates for you to look at in one place. I will still provide my own thoughts, but it will only be one of many hosted on this site. I have laid the foundations, creating pages for all of the known areas, characters, and topics we know of (the rest to be added post-release), with a link to the community content at the bottom of each page.  It is a work in progress, so please bear with me while I hunt down community content for each subject.

I am really excited with this change, and I hope you all are too. Thanks for your support so far!
