A term used in the hit fromsoftware/Sony
game BloodBorne. It is a major part of the lore even though Paleblood is undoubtedly one of the most mysterious elements in the entire lore of Bloodborne. It is referenced in a few moments, but
never in a way that explicitly states what it is, what it does, or where it comes from.
When players finish creating their Origin, and after being administered blood by a Blood Minister, they awake in Iosefka's Clinic, in a room with a mere note that says:
"Seek Paleblood to transcend the hunt."
And so, regardless of its origin, utilities, or even the form it takes, Paleblood becomes the goal of the player. To transcend means to ascend or in the
world it means to become a god or a Great
One in the BB lore. Just
like the moon presence, orphan of Kosm and many others. That when consuming 3 thirds of an umbilical cord, you
will become a great
one after killing the moon presence and after the final
boss cinematic takes place.
Hunter: Hey I’m looking for this Paleblood stuff, have you
heard of it?
Gilbert: Paleblood? If you’re looking for blood
try the
church.
Hunter: Thank you.
