So! The Frenzied Amulet (the basic version of which can be found in the Monad Charity House Cellar, of all places) has a rather familiar looking face on it, if you ask me.

Lots of fun (i.e depressing) things we can infer from this! Given this amulet can only be found in the past, in the Charity House, no less, would to me suggest this is likely to be a cameo of Carlo rather than P (the term "frenzy" is something we are conditioned to associate with puppets by now, I know, but P obviously didn't exist yet at this point in time for this amulet to be made in his specific likeness beforehand.)

The flavour text about ignoring "even the most agonising wounds" brings to mind the fact that Carlo seems to have lost his left arm at some point—we still don't know if he lost that arm in life or post-mortem, though this amulet definitely gives some weight to the theory that it happened when he was still alive.

And let's not forget that these amulets are quite literally imprinted with memories and records of actual events and people (such as the Swordmanship Master's amulet, which tells us that a record of this individual's fighting style was imprinted into the amulet to make puppets more efficient with their weapons...to limited success.) So for an amulet to be decorated with an image of who we assume to be Carlo of all people would certainly imply that memories and records of his desperate struggles are the ones imprinted on this amulet. Who made this amulet and why it is now locked in a wine cellar in the Charity House is anyone's best guess though.

Obviously, this is just conjecture and my unhinged speculation lmao but it's pretty interesting to think about as far as theory crafting goes 🔍👀 (It's also the only amulet to feature someone's face on it other than the Duelist's Amulet, curiously enough.)

Another cool if not unusual detail to think about; there is a new photograph of P that can pop up from time to time in the DLC's loading screens 🔍👀

I haven't been able to figure out where exactly this photograph was taken though. All the locations I've checked don't seem to match up, so I'm not even sure where or when this was implied to be taken. Thoughts?

(Side note, it's pretty interesting that this implies the boss fog is a visible phenomena to other people and devices though lmao.)

Not sure if this has been pointed out before, but the stargazer in the hotel actually changes slightly during the game!

It starts off like this, with the seasons, months and numbers engraved on the rings arranged as normal and the main needle facing towards Eugenie and Venigni's side of the hotel.

Later into the game though (I believe after reaching Arche Abbey) the engravings for the months, seasons and numbers have completely inverted and the needle is now facing towards Antonia's side of the hotel instead 🔍👀

A pretty cool if not slightly unnerving detail, honestly! Especially considering that the time is always listed as "unknown" after beating the game.

So there's writing on the back of that brooch that the Legendary Stalker picks up in the story trailer 🔍

Beasthunter Saif (Transformed) for no particular reason whatsoever, definitely not because I hate drawing this thing.

This axe wielded by some of the Carcass enemies is genuinely one of the coolest weapon designs in the game and I'm deeply bitter that it is currently unobtainable

[eyelixir]

Hradi had a spectacular time in the Hunter's Nightmare, much to my amazement honestly. Poor Ludwig got decimated in one minute flat.

[eyelixir]

I believe this was on Carlo's profile but I remember so vividly how spectacular this revelation felt was when I first played the game lmao so I of course want a screenshot of it

i don't have a ps4 but i love bloodborne with all my forces

seeing your screenshots of the game is like putting a giant meat in front of a starved dog who can't reach it

This is why I and many others genuinely wish Fromsoft would just release Bloodborne for other platforms 😩 Having to buy an entire console is a pretty unreasonable requirement for a lot of people and that's probably the biggest barrier to entry that Bloodborne has. It's a damn shame! I can only hope that we finally get cross-platform support for BB in the future, even if not an actual remake or remaster.

Though to be honest, I strongly believe BB would benefit a huge amount from a total remake. For as wonderful a game as it is, there's a lot that feels a bit lacking content-wise, especially after seeing how other Souls games are made and what they can offer. Bloodborne loses out on a lot of components that would have really helped to make it feel more complete and well-rounded, and sadly, a lot of those things were actually planned to be included but for some reason just got totally scrapped. I have to assume due to time constraints, but I don't know for sure. A remake that not only improved the game's appearance and functionality, but also allowed for some scrapped scenes, items, mechanics and such to be finally implemented would be an absolute treat! But whether it happens or not is another story 😓

In any case, I hope you are able to experience the game for yourself one day, one way or another! I must continue posting screenshots here however in the meanwhile, for an artist's work is never done and I need as many reference images as I can get 😂

[eyelixir]

Some spicy hot cheeto hunters while I'm at it because I love how intentionally vivid and saturated blood always looks in this game to offset the drab gray scenery and I wanna draw more adjacent things to that amen

[eyelixir]

More various visits about town for my own nefarious purposes. I always loved that giant amygdala statue just chilling in Yahar'gul lmao.

[eyelixir]

Casual shots of Cathedral Ward and Central Yharnam on here for my convenience, mainly because I will want to do some art studies with them lmao ✨
