Baldur's Gate 3 - The Bloodflame Hunter (Bloodborne Inspired Build)

With this build, I set out to make a Bloodborne inspired build for Dark Urge that focused on the bleeding status condition and fire attacks. But in the process of trying to make a Bloodborne Hunter, I accidentally ended up making a build that is actually it's own 3 stage boss battle!
You roleplay this build as a hunter who is slowly going mad from using the Old Blood, represented by Dark Urge cutscenes, the tadpole powers, and the Slayer transformation to complete the evolution from man to beast! Also I based this build primarily off of Lady Maria, but I mixed in some concepts from other bosses as well!

Beware the slightly out of date blood
-
Another name for this build is the Bhaal-Born
-
Don't forget to pick up BOOOAL's Benediction to gain Advantage against Bleeding targets.

This might be. The COOLEST build you have ever done. THIS WAS AMAZING. I haven't beaten Bloodborne, because I am sadly not as good at the game as I'd like, but I LOVE the setting and aesthetic and the STORY is so good! Also I love those transforming weapons. They tickle something in my brain that just goes YAAAAAAS. Wish more games had those sorts of things XD
-
Soulsborne and Baldur's Gate 3 crossovers are golden and need to happen more often in both communities. I definitely plan on using this for a Redeemed Durge run. However, if you want to go full thematic and mirror the best ending of Bloodborne, you would use this build and become a Mind Flayer at the end of the story.
-
The main + prone combo definitely works. Tiger barb with radiating orb and reverb makes may boss fights trivial as most of the enemies spend the entire battle on the floor!
-
This build is also very fitting given Sceleritas' line in act 3 "For she who fights with monsters should look to it that she herself becomes a monster."
-
Ive been looking for a lady maria build for so long THANK YOU
-
I love this idea! Bloodborne is one of my favorite games, so to see a lady Maria build in BG3 is awesome Getting to the end of the video now and seeing all the synergy and boss phases, I think this is one of your best builds yet! Love it!
-
Soon as I hear that "alright" I know I am going to enjoy the video and hit the like button 😂
-
dual wield barbarian build lets gooo! ive been wanting something like this for a while now, thank you!
-
Sure the maim effect with the prone works, that's why tiger barbarian with reverberation gear is a great control build
-
I was already planning a resist durge run as an oathbreaker sorcadin. But after this video I'll definitely also be going for an embrace durge run on the side! That's 3 runs ongoing... And I still have Dawntrail to get through in FF14... 💀

For the hat, if you really want it THAT bad, to the point you don't care about the effects of the hat, then the closest you are getting to it is Birthright.
-
Dude this makes me wish we got some Baldur’s Gate 3 or some of Larian’s games like Divinity Original Sin references in here for Elden Ring or some other Souls games man it be cool. Also I just saw your Dragonborn of Bahamut build sorta doing something different with my character being a bard and a Paladin I guess it works in a way as RP for Dragonborn of Bahamut (haven’t reached the point on multiclassing proper yet).
-
Ahh bloodborne it surely didn't give me ptsd 🥲🥲🥲🥲
-
So, you made the "is this blood? No never mind" build official 😂
-
SPOILERS There's a permanent buff you can get in act 3 called Unstable Blood that makes the blood puddles that form when your character gets hit become flammable. If they get touched by fire, they become fire surfaces. It is obtained by giving Araj Oblodra a sample of your blood in both act 2 and act 3, she will give you a mysterious potion to drink which gives you the condition. Just one more way to punish your enemies for daring to make you bleed.
-
Although I unfortunately don't know Bloodborne, this build makes me want to play BG3 again.
-
Awesome build! I love Bloodborne. This is perfect.
