If you’re a fan of Bloodborne, it’s more than likely you’ve delved into the rich lore and may come across dataminer Lance McDonald who has helped to uncover a lot of cut content that exists in past FromSoftware games. His latest unveiling is not to disappoint as it concerns the Yharnam Stone.
Bloodborne Dataminer Uncovers the Purpose Behind the Yharnam Stone
Lance McDonald has shared anew videothat uncovers a cutscene that never made it to the final rendition of the game, as well as some voicelines that are spoken by the Fishing Hamlet Priest.
TheYharnam Stoneis collected after defeating the boss in Bloodborne called theYharnam, Pthumerian Queen. While this item serves no real purpose in Bloodborne except as an accolade, it once however could be used in-game.
McDonald shares a recap of the character theFishing Hamlet Priestwho is found deep within theHunter’s Dream, he paces back and fourth in the Fishing Hamlet while reciting a few lines. He also shows what happens if a player’s character usesMilkweedRune, causing the priest to recite a different poem. Other interactions in game include after defeating the final boss in the Fishing Hamlet, the priest will also share a different poem bidding farewell to theOrphan of Cos.
But what players haven’t seen is a cutscene that is buried in the game, which never made it the final version. McDonald uncovers that the Priest once upon a time had a different home than the fishing hamlet, he was supposed to appear in theResearch Hallmap. While his speech appears mostly the same, there are two variations, a new voiceline is triggered after defeating the Orphan of Cos, as well it was suppose to be spoken directly to the player.
The next unveiling are menu options that were never translated into English, one to offer the Yharnam Stone to the priest or to refuse. By giving him the stone he speaks a new piece:
Kos! Fair child of Kos!
Time is not, and the sea rumbles afar.
And yet, a mother’s pungent devotion can still be felt.
Ahh, thank you, messenger,
I exude gratitude for one such as you.
Kos, bless this messenger, this visitor from beyond.
This brings up the question of why this action was removed from the game?
