It moves in, embraces you, and entraps you in the dream in Gehrman’s place. Then, you turn around and gaze upon the Moon Presence.

So you defeat Gehrman, and free him from his prison in the Hunter’s Dream. This is the classic Lovecraft ending, and likely the ending most players saw: you dug deeper, explored the whole world searching for clues and for larger monsters to hunt, but in the end you missed a few crucial details. You’re done fighting.įor the second ending, you refuse to let Gehrman kill you but have not eaten the three thirds of umbilical cords. But there’s something more, something nagging at your mind…and after all, is what you’re experiencing real, or just another dream? You’ll never know. You’ll forget the hunt, the dream, and all of the horrors you witnessed. This is you facing the nightmare, uncovering some details, and saying, “you know what? Nah, I’m out.” You did only what was necessary to complete your task, and as a reward, you’re given a new life. The first ending is the easy one: allow Gehrman to take your life and awaken from the terrible dream, emerging in Yharnam as day breaks. Bloodborne’s endings, and its entire lore really, fit this theme perfectly. This follow’s Lovecraft’s themes pretty well most of his stories feature a protagonist who uncovers some deep, dark truth, and as he investigates further he learns more and eventually succumbs to madness or some other twisted fate. However, the truth slowly drives them insane, sometimes to the point that they’ll blind themselves to keep from witnessing the horrors of the world. Throughout Bloodborne, there is a theme of opening one’s eyes to awaken from a dream or to gain divine knowledge of the cosmos. It is backed by evidence within the game, but nothing is concrete-it is simply myself and many members of the community theorizing about the game’s story. As we go forward, I should warn you: everything you are about to read is purely speculation. Still, the community has a few things figured out. Nothing will be spelled out for you, and a lot of finer details are left solely to speculation. These questions and more can be answered if you search the game for clues and piece them together.
Why was that Micolash guy chanting that weird prayer while he fought you? Was it all really a dream? What the sweet loving hell was that thing that hugged me at the end?
Seriously, give yourself a pat on the back-the game isn’t easy, and only a small percentage of its players have made it this far.īut now you might be wondering what the hell just happened. You reached the final boss, made your final decision, and completed the game. If you’ve not played Bloodborne and you want to see what some of the fuss is about, you’ll find it here-but I do recommend playing it first yourself if you can. Warning: This analysis is going to go in-depth with the game’s story.
