Think Bloodborne is hard? Try beating it without leveling up.
One dedicated – and apparently masochistic – gamer has beaten From Software's uber-challenging title without leveling up or using guns. Hell, he even opted to play as the game's weakest class.
BOYvsVIDEOGAME has tossed up a series of videos recording his 10-day run through the evil-invested city of Yharnam. He chooses the "Waste of Skin" class, which holds the description: "You are nothing. Talentless. You shouldn't have been born." As you might expect, this dude's stats kinda suck, so that makes this particular run all the more impressive.
On top of which, BOYvsVIDEOGAME never uses any visceral attacks, which are almost essential for some of the game's toughest foes. Obviously, he dies quite a bit but he eventually conquers the adventure; here's the first of over a dozen vids chronicling the feat. It's pretty nuts.

Holy crap.
Wouldn't be wrong to call him the best Bloodborne player on earth.
He is the best Bloodborne player on earth…

What weapon did you choose?
If you went with the Saw Cleaver you will likely struggle its Range, Damage, and Scaling are all sub-par.
The Hunter Axe is arguably the most well rounded weapon in the game and will never be outgrown, its spinning R2 is devastating to almost every enemy.
The Whip is very good but struggles until you get it to about +5 or +6 where its scaling and damage finally hit a good stride at +9 it is a beast.
If you are struggling too much look for a Mad Man's Skull to unlock the Doll to level up a bit, won't say where but there are about 2 or 3 in the first zone.
If you chose the Axe just two hand it and stick right to the Beast's legs only dodging when necessary and let him have it with the R2 and L2 attacks.
If you chose the Whip you will need to dance a bit more but similar idea.
If you chose the Saw Cleaver, arguably the worst weapon in the entire game, you may want to start over from scratch or hunt down the Saw Spear which is hidden somewhere in the first zone. Or find the couple badges hidden around the first zone which allow you to purchase weapons in the dream.
Eh, I beat it with my saw cleaver on one try so…
Wait, what? I LOVE the saw cleaver.
This guy just disrespected the Saw Cleaver…the move versatile weapon in the game. That thing is beast just like all the weapons are or can be. Just find one you're most effective with then KILL. Out of the starter weapons, the whip is a little too skill based to handle and the axe might be a little too complicated for newbies to use. The saw cleaver though is the best of all worlds. SAW CLEAVER GANG!!! lol 😉
I am currently using the saw cleaver hahaha! You are right about the range, terrible. I am pleased to report i beat him today! Oh my goodness, the satisfaction. It was due to well timed shots with firearm and hitting him with that critical hit. After beating him i grinded for blood echoes so i could get the kirkhammer. No regrets, what an awesome weapon!
Gotta love how no matter how well we feel we do on these games, no matter how much we try to challenge ourselves, there's always someone to make us feel like a bunch of pansies anyways.
This one time when I got a really good time for the GT5 demo time trial, I thought I did good.
But then…….I didn't even make the top 1000.
I always knew many gamers out there are good, but I never realized I was THAT bad.
Snake, it's worse when I'm sporting a wheel and pedals, yet am outclassed by someone with a freaking controller! I'll admit that it hurts my ego a bit being one who participates in road and SOLO racing. Haha
I haven't watched the video, but if he does it fair & square I have a lot more respect for a guy like this than one of those speed runners who uses glitches & exploits to claim they finished the game really fast…
dam thats a sobering thought isn't it
happy gaming
