History NightmareFuel / Bloodborne

* The Amygdala, a gigantic GiantSpider featured in the [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whydidithavetobespidey_6930.png background]] of the city, grasping a tower with its massive legs tipped with ''human hands''. [[http://i.imgur.com/tdLr9ie.gif A closer look]] shows that its looks like an unholy cross between a spider and ''Cthulhu''. The best part is that, due to the nature of the Beast Plague, this bizarre and hideous monster WasOnceAMan! And then you get to fight it...

* The optional boss, Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen, is just horrifying as all hell. Mostly for the fact that she appears to be heavily pregnant, combined with how you can hear a baby crying every time you hit her, and how her stomach just gets bloodier and bloodier throughout the fight...

** When you get close to the Wet Nurse to attack her, [[spoiler: you can hear [[FridgeHorror the baby is ''still'' crying]]!]]

* Vicar Amelia's PainfulTransformation prior to you fighting her.

* [[EldritchAbomination Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos]] is an optional boss that lurks beneath the Great Cathedral. You can find her after you've beaten the boss in the Upper Cathedral Ward. Of all the strange and gruesome creatures that walk the streets of Yharnam, "her" bizarre [[https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/9Yox7Ad9cOqYTbWAR3LrZzdR3GE=/28x0:2843x1583/1280x720/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/45995234/Screen_Shot_2015-03-27_at_6.10.59_PM.0.0.png appearance]] stands out as something [[StarfishAlien truly alien]]. Her bulbous head is covered in fungus-like growths. Her slug-like body has a set of arms, two sets of tentacles, and with a pair of huge, membranous wings. She's an intimidating fight, as well; [[spoiler: she's much quicker than she looks, hits hard, AND has devastating long range spells she can fling at you.]] Any Hunter who wants to bring her down had better be prepared. [[spoiler: She is apparently a celestial being from the cosmos that the upper members of the Church, known as the Choir, commune with for guidance and, in turn, lead their followers in worship of her.]]

* The introductory cutscene of Mergo's Wet Nurse. You are guided by the wailing of a baby, and when you stumble into the garden where said baby's voice is coming from, [[spoiler:the Wet Nurse swoops down on the baby's cradle and appears to devour it, before turning her attention to you, armed with six blades and deploying dark, grim reaper-like wings]].

* The whole theme of disease mixed with the use of blood is utterly nauseating. Injecting yourself with blood is a gameplay mechanic which you will almost certainly use several hundred times before you finish the game, and you will ''not'' be acquiring it via sanitary means; you consume it directly from nightmarish creatures, who were [[CannibalismSuperpower formerly human]], in the midst of a rampant plague zone. Anyone even remotely worried about infection or [[TitleDrop bloodborne]] taint will have trouble just making it through the first act.

* The Blood-starved Beast: That thing's skin has been ''flayed'' off its back, and what remains hangs off it in horrible fleshy flaps. And it's called 'Blood-starved' for more than one reason. It's hard to say ''what'' comes out of it when its hit, but it sure the heck isn't blood!

* People have spotted a '''massive''' GiantSpider in the [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whydidithavetobespidey_6930.png background]] of the city, grasping a tower with it's massive legs tipped with '''human hands'''. What even is this thing?

*** And only reason it doesn't smash you like a bug? Even though you are fighting for your life against hordes of vicious monsters, it is so massive that doesn't even ''notice'' the unholy racket you are making. Just prey you don't do anything to catch it's attention...

* The whole theme of disease mixed with the use of blood is utterly nauseating. Drinking blood is a gameplay mechanic which you will almost certainly use several hundred times before you finish the game, and you will ''not'' be acquiring it via sanitary means; you consume it directly from nightmarish creatures, who were [[CannibalismSuperpower formerly human]], in the midst of a rampant plague zone. Anyone even remotely worried about infection or [[TitleDrop bloodborne]] taint will have trouble just making it through the first act.

* ThePlague infecting Yharnem. Its victims slowly turn into mindless monsters, and eventually the victims mutate into beasts.

[[VideoGame/BloodBorne Bloodborne]], as a spiritual successor to VideoGame/DarkSouls and VideoGame/DemonsSouls, is bound to include things that can be nightmare-inducing. While the game itself hasn't been released yet, the alpha demo and previews give us a peek as what kind of horrors we should be expecting...

* The Cleric Beast. If its [[HellIsThatNoise scream]] doesn't intimidate you, it's ruthless attack pattern WILL.
