Oh wow... Such an atrocity is unprecedented for the church... Especially considering their stellar reputation with the populace...

Which genius thought this shit up?

>expecting any jap shit to have any sort of coherent narrative at all

Blame H.P Anti-Semite.

It's less what they did at the time and more the consequences and what they did afterwards while researching.

>jap game
>the church is evil

well they basically committed mass murder, human experimentation, mass torture and deicide. I mean can you come up with something worse?

Man OP, you sure are fucking stupid.

the church didn't publicly announce that they went to a small fishing village, murdered everyone there and then scraped around inside of their heads for eyes
then proceeded to do human experimentation and deformity for their own purposes

they are the reason why the beast curse exists, because they were such cunts in the fishing village

the secret that the PLAYER might not want to learn is that the hunters workshop was in on this and willingly partook; even if Gherman and Maria regret it for the rest of their lives

Given the history of Christianity and Japan, not much shock.

also there's the theory that the secret Brador was keeping was actually "Brador's Testimony" which is the cleric beast horns which might be Laurence's the first cleric beast. The theory goes that Laurence was the first one to ever go beast because of the old blood and Brador witnessed it and killed Laurence so the church imprisoned him to cover it up, eventually the scourge happened anyway though.

I was under the impression that people were in love with the church considering they could actually heal people and the city began to revolve around it and had no idea ayylmao blood and crazy experiments were behind their problems

most badass soulsborn npc?

So why did they want rot? Do the flies give great blowjobs or something?

oy veeey

>Coldsteel the knight
Is this DS3s lady maria?

They experimented on the body of what was essentially a god. There's probably nothing worse or more taboo in the Bloodborne world. Sure, following that they did all sorts of awful shit to children and entire towns, but the point was that experimenting on Kos was their original sin. It was the peak of their early atrocities.

I'm still confused as to what the Orphan of Kos is though. Is it genuinely her child or some guy (because it looks pretty human) who was transformed into that thing via experimentation?

This pretty much sums up yharnamites and the church

probably just gave up since they cant escape the cycle of fire and dark.

>He thinks they just "killed" Kosm

Christianity and Japan have a great relationship, there are plenty of Japanese Christians. What are you talking about?

yeah the church had created a narrative that they were the good guys who try to stop the scourge and heal people, basically Ludwig armed the general populace to participate in the hunts, they basically made the victims of a disease they spread the bad guys (the beasts). People were fearful of their power all the same though.

>they are the reason why the beast curse exists, because they were such cunts in the fishing village
>the secret that the PLAYER might not want to learn is that the hunters workshop was in on this

So the hunter's workshop predates the fucking beast curse? Did Kos curse blood-crazed hunters to damnation in the hunter's nightmare BEFORE the beasts existed?

What the fuck are you talking about?

But the Christians didn't do anything in Japan. In fact the history of Christianity in Japan is mostly a Brit, some Portuguese, and some Dutch walking into a rice paddy.

Christianity literally got banned before they could even pull missionary stunts.

Church did not kill those guys the old hunters did this why Maria is still trapped in Kos nightmare.

>curse the fiends, their children, too. And their children forever! true!
Sounds like more than just the culprits.

So what if they took turns fucking the face on the dead fish god and played jump rope with it's intestines? What's the point in implementing so many lines of defenses against hiding an atrocity nobody cares about on a thing nobody knows about? If a regular hunter did accidentally find out, they would understand what it was all about?

The hunters as a group of normal people working for the church and the physical hunter's workshop that you find in the church predates the curse.

it was the byrgenwerth hunters who are the precursor to the church, well those that went with Laurence after the split with Willem. Maria and Gehrman are the only two we know for sure participated in the fishing village massacre. Laurence was probably there as well though.

The Hunters Workshop was part of the Healing Church

Yes but it was implied the hunters did not know what the church was up to. Seems like some hunters like Maria and Gehrman knew it and did nothing against it.

What did they hunt before the curse?

pssh..

what's the most fun skill weapon

i'm using the saif and the ryuko whatever it is

Well we know the old blood and the scourge had destroyed previous civilizations like Loran and the Pthumerians. Still it sounds like hunters as they are known in Yharnam weren't formed until after Laurence started passing out the Old Blood. When they raided the fishing village they were basically students and scholars committing massacre in the name of science and progress.

Pizza cutter is overrated
Ludwigs holy blade.

blades of mercy?

Rakuyo is my favorite. R2 spam stabs, L2-L2 spin2win, fun moveset. Saif is my 2nd favorite, that R1 slide step and transformations that backstep and close distance are awesome.

like literally less than 1% of the Japanese population is christian...

Just use the Church Pick.

things in the Pthumerian labyrinth

I can't remember which item it is, but one of the descriptions talks about how they sent guys in full suits of plate armour who got WRECKED (you can see their corpses on the floor of some rooms); then Gherman started using light armour, speed, and transforming weapons, and made it out alive, so people started following his example
