Who is, or was, Queen Yharnhm’s baby? Was it a Great One? Or do the blood stains indicate a human death? This is indicative of a complication during the birth process and leaves a rather important question unanswered. When Queen Yharnam appears in game, she is wearing what appears to be a white wedding dress that is bloodied and torn in the center of her abdomen. If it is possible for the Queen’s consciousness to transcend death, that suggests she was involved in a ritual birth process involving a Great One. Kill her and she will drop the Yharnam Stone, which reveals: One of the places Queen Yharnam appears within the game is as a boss in the final layer of the Great Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice Dungeon. The Pthumerian Queen Partakes in Blood Birth Ritualĭespite the fact that Queen Yharnam has allegedly been long dead since the time of the Pthumerians, she makes several appearances throughout the game’s story. Once the Great Ones ascended, the Pthumerians were left behind with whom and/or what remained. Together with the left behind Great One,they look to the skies, in search of astral signs,that may lead them to the rediscovery of true greatness.”īut before understanding the Healing Church and the Choir, there is an unresolved issue. This is also suggested by the choir garb description, “Members of the Choir are both the highest-ranking clerics of the Healing Church, and scholars who continue the work that began at Byrgenwerth. The initial encounter marked the start of an inquiry into the cosmos from within the old labyrinth, and led to the establishment of the Choir.” Only a minority of Great Ones were left behind or abandoned, as we are clued in from the augur of Ebrietas description, “Use phantasms, the invertebrates known to be the augurs of the Great Ones, to partially summon abandoned Ebrietas. It is possible that “slumbering” implies that the Great Ones left their bodies to hibernate in this reality while their minds ascended to higher planes.
The Great Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice reveals that, “…early Pthumerians were mere humble guardians of the slumbering Great Ones…” From this it is known that to some extent, they co-existed with the Pthumerians. If the Queen and the keepers can transcend death, then it is likely that The Great Ones also evolved their conscious existence beyond the limits of life and death as we understand them in the third dimension. “The Queen lies dead, but her horrific consciousness is only asleep, and it stirs in unsettling motions.” “The keepers who mind the slumbering Great Ones, gained eternal life…” Since the player fights and slaughters a few of The Great Ones throughout the game, it can be inferred that they do experience a certain type of physical existence. “Master Willem looked to beings from higher planes for guidance and sought to line his brain with eyes in order to elevate his thoughts.” Unlike humans, their consciousness is not three dimensional, but rather exists at the level of a higher plane. These mystical beings are not entirely understood, but one of the most unique features the story divulges is that the consciousness and existence of a Great One transcends time, space, and death. The oldest conscious beings in the realm of Bloodborne are The Great Ones. The Great Ones Evolve Beyond the Third Dimension So if you really want to understand Bloodborne, the best place to start is as far back in the timeline as the information provides, which is the time of The Great Ones.ĪGAIN, SPOILERS AHEAD.
