From Software

I started this with a FromSoftware game and by golly, I'm going to round it out with one too.

As I said in the Sekiro entry, From like putting in difficult, optional endings, often revolving around fetch quests. Bloodborne is no different, but it's way of enticing you is particularly crafty.

You see, you need to find and ingest three of the four Umbilical Cords found in the game. Normally, most optional endings would go unnoticed, but Bloodborne changes that.

It gives you one of these pieces from a main game boss fight. So, for those curious, it sows the seed to hunt out the others. That this is a late game boss means nothing, as finding the others is more than a test of character level.

Oh, and one of these involves killing a baby. Yeesh...

The others require some dexterity and platforming. Which, in any Souls-like game, is never easy. but even if you get all three, you're not done yet.

No, you have to take on one more additional boss right at the end of the game. With the same Blood Vials and health you fought Gehrmann with.

You didn't want to make this easy, did you FromSoftware...?
