For one Bloodborne<\/a> fan, it is the end of an era. After helping thousands of other players across over a decade beat one specific and tricky boss in FromSoftware\u2019s beloved PlayStation 4 exclusive, Noahman is finally retiring because he just doesn\u2019t get summoned anymore. He\u2019s even stopped paying for PlayStation Plus as a result and is now determined to move on with his life.<\/p>\n

On May 27, Noahman posted on the FromSoftware subreddit<\/a> that it was \u201ctime to say goodbye to Bloodborne.\u201d More specifically, Noahman was saying goodbye to The Orphan of Kos, a boss that he had been fighting over and over again for over a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThousands of fights, Thousands of kills,\u201d posted the dedicated Bloodborne fan. \u201cBut the playerbase has shrunk to a point where I don\u2019t get summoned anymore. If you ever summoned me, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gamesradar chatted with Noahman<\/a> after he announced his retirement from the game. He explained the reason he focused all his Bloodborne energy on Kos, saying that the boss is \u201ceasily the highest demand boss in the game for summon requests.\u201d So it is the fastest way to get back into the action. After playing the fight over and over and helping people out, he \u201cstarted to really like the boss even more than I already did. Fighting the Orphan was so, so much [fun]. I started to get good, and I liked the feeling of helping people out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Noahman tells the outlet that this was his first FromSoftware game.<\/p>\n

For Noahman, who mostly played on Fridays and weekends, multiplayer summoning in Bloodborne was the perfect way to interact with other people. \u201cThe relationship between Summoner and Cooperator is like two ships passing in the night. Except in this instance, I\u2019d help the ship get to port safely and be on my way.\u201d The dedicated player tells the outlet he has helped anywhere between 5,000 to 6,000 hunters defeat Kos over the last decade or so.<\/p>\n

As for why he stopped, Noahman explained in a follow-up post on Reddit that he was only paying for PlayStation Plus to help people defeat this one boss in Bloodborne. And now that he rarely gets summoned, he can\u2019t \u201cjustify\u201d paying for it anymore. \u201cI\u2019m basically paying to sit in a cave and not get summoned,\u201d said Noahman. Maybe he\u2019ll return for that remake that is totally happening one day\u2026probably. Maybe<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For one Bloodborne fan, it is the end of an era.
