The worst part is when you fall down the hole while running with anger to the boss area because you didn't activate the elevator

[niggypolice]

People say they feel bad when they kill the orphan, but remember. Killing him frees him from the nightmare. The hunter technically is doing him a favor.

[shauros]

Love that feeling when you parry him but get hit so you get a bit stunned, then you dash towards him to make the visceral attack but instead you make an R1 normal attack cause you're already late. You know you're dead in that exact moment.

[Thomas-wwtp]

This is one of those “imagine how tough it’d be as an adult” situations

[TheDankShrimp]

Kos: Are ya' winning son?
Orphan of Kos: Yeow.

[leiderhosen]

The first half will make you feel sorry the boss has to fight you.

The second makes you feel sorry you have to fight the boss, the moment the wings come out he becomes fucking hellish even by Souls standards.

[FreddyChoppins]

Bosses like Maria and Orphan of Kos make me wish there was an option to re-fight bosses without having to start an entirely new game.

[mymagicalfries]

fun/strange fact: if you enter the boss arena and don't walk towards him, he will just stare at the sun... thingy...

[willofthefumes]

You have to think, by the time you face this thing, it probably only knows three things: It exists, its mother is dead and you're running at it with a weapon. It's really obviously shown that the only one who wants to continue this fight is you. After all, it doesn't attack you unless you approach its mother's corpse. It doesn't know that its existence is responsible for so many mistakes on the part of the Healing Church, the Choir and the School of Mensis. So when this screaming sod kills you for the fiftieth time, just remember that you're the only one making this continue. Maria warned us, and we killed her, Ludwig and Laurence were taken by the plague they tried to stop and they both died at our hands. Simon died trying to save the hunters from the fate their precursors caused so long ago, and we killed Brador for what he did to him. Short of Gehrman, no-one will care that you killed the Orphan again. Secrets are secrets for a reason, after all, and this one was so well kept that it fell into a nightmare, for what other name is there for what occured in the Fishing Hamlet but a nightmare? If the Orphan lives, no-one will be free from the old blood. If he dies, you free one old man of his regrets and no-one will be free from the old blood. Sins can be atoned for, but that doesn't mean those sins never happened. Laurence and his associates will still take blood from the Chalice Dungeons and cause the plague of beasts. Gehrman will still be taken by the Moon Presence. Even when you slay a literal newborn god, your actions are ultimately in vain. That's a new layer of depressing on top of the harrowing situation of killing a literal baby.

[basherlyfe]

I still remember my words when I looked at this boss.

"Maybe he just...needs a friend?"

...he didn't want to be my friend

[JillLulamoon]

I love how the fight starts with the Orphan crawling from it's mom's womb, taking it's first breaths, it stands on shaking legs, like a newborn foal. It stares into the sky, alone, and weeps.

The fight begins and for the first few seconds it doesn't react to you, until you begin moving closer. It turns to you, a Hunter, dressed in black, with frightening weapons. A hunter with murderous intention, part of the same order that killed it's mother. Now come to kill it.

It shrieks and attacks you with every ounce of strength it has. The Orphan attacks you because it's scared, from my interpretation. It's a terrified baby that is lashing out at the first thing it sees.

Bloodborne is fucking amazing.

[extraspooky]

All I have to say is, if you beat this DLC, just take a moment to give yourself a good pat on the back.

[kyleallen]

Has anybody else ever listened to just the scream that summons the lightening? The pure hatred and sorrow in that scream is haunting.

[crowofcainhurst]

To this day, I have only ever beaten this thing once. Hearing the Orphan screaming for 45 minutes straight is the closest I've ever come to experiencing real insanity.

[TheDaringstDo]

Is it just me or did this boss invoke a horrible sense of fear in anyone else? I can't even begin to try to explain the feeling of legitimate dread I felt when I saw this awful half humanoid monstrosity crawl out its dead mother. I just thought to myself, *There it is, that Lovecraftian horror that everyone has been talking about, that real sense of "I dont even understand what this is and thats why im so scared of it" feeling* And when it started evolving mid boss fight, that is when I realized exactly how dangerous this thing was/could be and why it was that way. This is a newborn infant of the cosmos just taking its first steps out into the world and what does it awake to? Its mother, dead on the beach... and you. A whole culmination of emotions ranging from confusion to sadness and then to blinding rage towards the one it can only assume killed its parent. While I was fighting this thing, watching it test out its newborn powers, watching it evolve and get stronger and more angry I realized that this boss was a threat to everything in its path because the most natural emotion it knew was rage and that, to me, was god damn horrifying.

[Aknaught]

Me during the fight: "Stop throwing placenta at me dammit!"
Boss enters phase 2:
"More placenta!"

[darkbornelines]

When you realize, that you are fighting a undead orphan on top of its mothers corpse - good guy Hunter

[Firehawk]

I finally did it, my hands are shaking and I have two vials left.

[AlrikMetalhead]

I wish there was an alternative way where you just slowly walk to him unarmed, pat his shoulder and say "Sometime life is hard buddy, wanna drink something?" And he becomes your best pal, going on vacation to Cainhurst castle, Hemwick, taking photos and sharing good times instead of having my ass ripped this bad :(

[nineball]

So İ'm fighting a new born great one? well this can't be too har-
*Grows Wings and starts summoning Lightning*
Oh.
