Hyakumantenbara Salome Finally Beats Ebrietas in Bloodborne, Then Takes On Ludwig

NIJISANJI — Hyakumantenbara Salome beat Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos, the Bloodborne boss that had held her up for about six hours by her own count, in the 13th installment of her Bloodborne series on Sunday. The boss, which she calls Ebu-tan, fell about 14 minutes into the stream.

Salome opened by saying she had lost before because she wasn’t wearing her ojousama clothes, and she came back in her “battle outfit” with her level and strength raised. Her first try ended almost at once and she joked that it should not count. After a few quick losses she turned to the viewers and called her frustration “fresh yatsuatari,” venting at the moment it happens, with a shelf life of about 30 seconds. Then the fight turned, and she announced the win with a string of thank-yous. Chat filled with applause, and 61 paid messages came in around the victory.

“Yeah, you win if you sleep on it.” — Hyakumantenbara Salome, after beating Ebrietas

With Ebrietas down, she collected the rewards and headed into the game’s downloadable content. A hunter who kept firing a gatling gun gave her trouble, and after she finally dropped him she declared the weapon banned in Yharnam. She also tried the limb of a small Amygdala as a weapon, found it weak and said she felt sorry for it, which sent chat into jokes about a “mini Amygdala.”

About an hour and ten minutes in she came face to face with Ludwig, the first hunter, now a beast. She judged it better to retreat, going back to the main game to earn blood echoes by letting pigs and hunters fight one another and to buy items before prices rose. She then took on Mergo’s Wet Nurse, lost her first attempt, and beat her roughly two hours in.

Returning to Ludwig, Salome spent the final hour learning his moves. Midway through she said she saw no way to win that night, but by the end she had found that running through his lunging attacks worked, and she called the fight fun even in defeat. At level 74, she said she would raise her stats only a little, sleep on it and try again, and she told viewers she would see them the next day.
