Attempting to add a little more content to the sub and a little more useful information to Lemmy in general, I thought I’d “cross-post” /u/artiih’s comprehensive BL4 guide. I used it myself to a T for my own BL4 run, and it made it a lot more manageable and fun.

Not taking any credit for this since this is not my content. All the credit goes to Arti.

Greetings, hunters!

Some of you may know me from a few challenges I’ve done, and particularly from this Ludwig kill that went viral last year.

I’m really connected to the Soulsborne challenge run community and, for a few years, people have been asking me to write a guide on Bloodborne’s BL4 run since it’s my favourite game and the one I know the most about. For those of you who are unaware, a BL4 run consists of starting the game with the Waste of Skin class and beating it without ever levelling up.

So, after about a month and over 80 hours of working on it, I have finally finished my guide! It consists of:

  • 63 pages, over 30k words and 22 videos

  • What I think is the best route to take at BL4

  • Where to get all the important items

  • Detailed strategies to get through areas

  • Very detailed boss strategies with video showcase

This is the biggest project I’ve ever worked on in the Soulsborne series and I’m very excited about it, so I hope some of you will find some good use for this guide!

So… why should you use this guide instead of any other? Well, the answer to this is also the reason why I decided to write this guide. The guides that are currently available for BL4 runs (which aren’t many) aren’t as in-depth as this one and I wasn’t satisfied with their quality. That’s not to take away from anyone else’s work, though, they should still be praised for spending so much time making helpful resources for the community.

It also is one of the most complete pieces on bosses that you can find anywhere. In fact, this guide is most likely extremely useful even if you’re not doing a BL4 run, as all tips for areas and bosses can be applied at any level.

Even if you’ve only played through this game once, I firmly believe you can complete a BL4 run from start to finish if you follow this guide.

So, without further ado, here’s the full guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZE5IcFiYghC6_s26NGPM9uxnqi1mIH5R_QP5N_lGRu0/edit

I really put my heart into it and I hope it’s useful for some people!

If you have any question at all, feel free ask. I’ll try my best to answer every comment throughout the day.

Cheers!
