10 Secret NPCs Hidden In Video Games
2. The Blood Corpse Survivor - Bloodborne
Given the attention to detail that FromSoftware puts into all of their games, it's little surprise that there's a sneaky NPC included in Bloodborne for players to look out for.
While playing the game's The Old Hunters DLC, YouTuber VaatiVidya discovered that it's possible for one of the blood corpses visible during the Ludwig boss fight to actually survive the encounter.
In the pre-fight cutscene, one of the skeletal creatures will beg the player to help them, yet in the overwhelming majority of cases this poor fella will be destroyed by Ludwig during the course of the fight.
However, if you can complete the boss fight without having Ludwig rampage over the pile of corpses where the guy is standing, he can actually make it out "alive" - whatever that means when you're a blood corpse, anyway. Ambulatory and in one piece, perhaps?
Considering how aggressive and destructive Ludwig is throughout the fight, it's incredibly unlikely for most players to ever stumble across this NPC, who can be greeted more through luck than skill.
