Oswald of Carim is my favourite Dark Souls character and I want to make a cosplay build in Elden Ring. Predictably, the Mask of Velka is not in Elden Ring. Does anyone have any possible alternatives I can wear? And maybe some suggestions for the rest of his clothes, too?
Patches is notably different in this game. In most other instances, he's a cleric-hating cynic who repeatedly tempts you with treasure and then punishes you whenever you actually go for it - almost consistently by pushing you off a ledge into a hole
He is none of these things in Bloodborne. The only thing that stays the same is pushing you into a hole. He's religious ("The gift of the godhead cometh!"), he's hardly cynical, he never actually tempts you with treasure (there is a message by the trail of shining coins but it only says "This way, to witness a miracle", and it honestly just seems like all he's trying to do is kill you
The only semblance of Patches's original greed and hypocrisy is that emerald pendant around his neck. Besides that, all he does is make several efforts to kill you or get you killed, and he even talks different ("Oh, doubt me not, sweet compeer. What is friendship, but a chance encounter?"). Anyone got any ideas on why he's like this?
First playthrough, no spoilers in the comments please
pretty self-explanatory, but i feel i should elaborate so my friend and i can settle a debate. i don't know how likely i am to find people who have both played dark souls and watched jjk, but it's worth a shot
typically, the idea for any fight with gojo is: if they can't bypass infinity, they can't win. gojo is too powerful a sorcerer, and limitless is too powerful a sorcery. fairly simple
however, the chosen undead has access to a certain miracle called vow of silence, which shuts off all magic in a given area. it works in pvp and pve alike, and essentially prevents any caster from performing anything of substance while it's active
to expand on the question, would vow of silence be able to disable cursed techniques, and if so, could the chosen undead beat gojo in a physical fight?
so BonfireVN on youtube has been datamining bloodborne, and they've reached the wheelchair huntsmen of yharnam
why is it that they look mostly normal?? yes, they're kind of creepy, ugly, and have messy teeth, but they genuinely don't at all appear to have taken any old blood. the images shown above are just huntsmen with the hats, bandages, and hair taken off, but besides the weird gray skin on their necks, they don't appear to have any beastly (canine?) features that we see on the rest of the more able-bodied huntsmen
memorably, they're batshit crazy. they either hold rifles and shoot manually or just have gatlings and flamethrowers mounted to their wheelchairs. and they cackle or scream while they empty their guns at you. but without beastly features, it implies that really is just what they are: batshit crazy.
you could say they're just crazy, paranoid old men who shoot at you because they mistook you for a beast. but they also mingle with other beasts and normal huntsmen, such as in the upper cathedral ward. and they don't attack each other, which is probably intentional, as fromsoft has shown that they're capable of having enemies infighting
and though i don't know if from had figured that out by 2015, they could also just have made it so that these guys are never around real beasts. give the high-powered weapons to the able-bodied huntsmen (which probably would've been harder) and be done with it
are they beasts or not?
