Bloodborne’s Hidden Backstory Finally Explained

The following content was originally posted here by Ian LepkowskyI'm a little (very) late with this one, but it is a good piece! Note: This was written prior to The Old Hunters, but I don't think that invalidates anything in the article. 

This article discusses the history of Bloodborne, from the ancient Pthumerians to the Healing Church and the Hunters.

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 Story So Far: Oldtown

This article covers the information released so far about Oldtown. For an overview about the story so far, see this article.




Oldtown


In the valley of Yharnam, the disease of the beast was particularly prevalent. To combat this, the area was abandoned and burned down. Now referred to as Oldtown, this district remains largely quiet, with an occasional starving howl reminding those who hear it of that sin. There is another whisper in Oldtown; a rumour that the veteran hunter Gyula, unseen since entering Oldtown, still resides within the district.



Questions

  • What is Gyula doing in Oldtown?
  • Is that a gatling gun Gyula is wielding??
