One Bloodborne player has spent 11 years and 3,500 hours helping people with one of FromSoftware's hardest bosses, but he's finally giving up because nobody plays Bloodborne anymore

Terrifyingly, Bloodborne was released on PS4, a console apparently doomed to be the game's forever tomb, on March 24, 2015. A substantial DLC, The Old Hunters, hit the game in November. Ever since, one player, who goes by Noahman90 on Reddit, has been up to his eyeballs in The Old Hunters for one specific purpose: the Orphan of Kos, one of the hardest bosses on FromSoftware's roster, absolutely must die.

Noahman has spent over a decade, and some 3,500 hours across multiple characters, playing Bloodborne. The vast majority of that playtime was spent helping other players fight the Orphan of Kos, much like Elden Ring hero Let Me Solo Her's famous Malenia support. But with the Bloodborne population dwindling to the point that Noahman doesn't even "get summoned anymore," it's finally time to hang up his hunter's hat.
