Bloodborne

Who's the Great One now?

I completed a new Bloodborne playthrough for the sole purpose of earning the "Childhood's Beginning" trophy, which unlocks after the player defeats the Moon Presence to earn the secret ending. Of course, to start the battle with the Moon Presence, one must first consume at least three alien umbilical cords; the only hint that this does anything at all is an easily-missed note in the Lecture Building. You'll get one cord automatically after defeating Mergo's Wet Nurse, but the other three are quite well-hidden.

Finalized. Fantastic.

Just in time for the remake!

Another day, another game moved to my "Complete" collection in Steam. Final Fantasy VII isn't too hard if all you care about is completing the story, but unlocking every achievement is another matter entirely. Before we begin, special thanks go to ThunderPeel2001, who made a mod to improve the game's compatibility with Xbox controllers, and mira, who wrote a guide listing the many things that can be permanently missed in a playthrough.

Behold my first ever platinum trophy!

I've earned 100% in a couple of other PlayStation games, but neither of them had platinum trophies.

This one was surprisingly easy. I had actually earned 97% during my first run through the game, but only now got around to picking up the last two trophies. All I needed to do was buy the Ancient and Traveler armor sets, which was trivial, as I had long ago completed all of the requirements to unlock them in the item shop. A few purchases later, I have completed every challenge Dad of Boy has to offer.

My next platinum trophy will likely be from Bloodborne: I've completed everything in the game (including The Old Hunters) except the Moon Presence, and am currently sitting at 92%. Unfortunately, that's going to require another complete playthrough, so don't expect to see that anytime soon.
