  • Chunks and Rocks: Blood Stone Chunks and Blood Rocks (max upgrade materials) had their drop rates slightly increased in Depth 5 root chalices.
  • Bold Hunter’s Marks: The shop price was lowered, encouraging aggressive farming runs.
  • All balancing and bug fixes (no more OP Rifle Spear glitch).
  • The Old Hunters DLC (integrated into the GOTY edition – this is non-negotiable; you want it).
  • Server maintenance – online works, but activity is lower than at launch. You’ll still find co-op and PvP, especially during community “Return to Yharnam” events.
  • No 60fps patch – still locked to 30fps with uneven frame pacing. On PS5, load times are much faster, but the frame rate remains unchanged.
  • You cannot access The Old Hunters DLC at all.
  • You cannot summon co-op partners reliably.
  • The game soft-locks if you kill Rom the Vacuous Spider too quickly.
  • The music in the Cleric Beast fight has a looping error that cuts out the second phase audio.

At its core, Bloodborne is a departure from the methodical, defensive pacing of the Dark Souls series. It prioritizes aggression through its "Rally" system, which allows players to recover lost health by quickly striking back at enemies. Version 1.09 refined this combat loop by balancing weapon scaling and stamina consumption, ensuring that the game’s vast arsenal of "Trick Weapons"—implements that transform between two distinct forms—felt unique and viable. Whether wielding the iconic Saw Cleaver or the complex Holy Moonlight Sword introduced in the DLC, the combat in this final version feels responsive and visceral, rewarding players who master the dance of the dodge and the parry.
