Bloodborne: Custom Orphan of Kos Statue Is Terrific But Terrifying

An insightful Bloodborne fan has created an amazing statue of the game’s infamous Orphan of Kos boss. FromSoftware’s 2015 action role-playing game brought gamers to Yharnam, a monster-infested gothic horror metropolis, and placed an emphasis on aggressive fast-paced combat. Bloodborne’s hardest boss enemy is widely considered to be the Orphan of Kos, who serves as the relentless final challenge of the game’s Old Hunters expansion.

Bloodborne serves as a successor to other FromSoftware soulslike titles, like Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, but it puts its own spin on the genre. The game’s combat system emphasizes speed and aggression, with a unique rally mechanic allowing the playable Hunter to regain lost health by quickly attacking an opponent. Bloodborne offers a variety of firearms that can stun foes for a devastating Visceral attack, and the game’s versatile Trick Weapons can transform between two distinct forms. The ARPG also continues FromSoftware’s tradition of brutal boss fights, with the Old Hunters DLC introducing Bloodborne’s Orphan of Kos who is capable of slaughtering even the more skilled Hunter.

Paying tribute to FromSoftware’s cosmic horror masterpiece, Reddit user ExImryll has created a custom Blodborne statue of the Orphan of Kos. The revolting creature was first meticulously rebuilt as a 3D model, before being printed and painted with great care. The recreation of the infamously powerful Bloodborne boss comes complete with its strange placenta-like weapon, and its deceased mother Kos is also found laying on the ground. While the replica is incredibly faithful to the in-game version, thankfully it is unable to actually attack or produce the creature’s spine-chilling cries.

Bloodborne has maintained a loyal fanbase since launch, leading to gorgeous tributes from ExImryll and other artistic fans. As a complement to ExImryll’s Orphan of Koss statue, another gamer recently created a sculpture of Bloodborne boss Ebrietas out of clay. The Daughter of the Cosmos is a being encountered in the game’s optional Upper Cathedral Ward area, with the cosmic creature presenting a challenge for any Hunter. Like ExImryll’s Orphan of Kos statue, this recreation of Ebrietas includes every in-game detail and successfully reflects the boss’ unique personality and style.

The Orphan of Kos has become a popular FromSoftware boss due to its aggressive combat style, unsettling design and memorable war cry. The wizened child arguably serves as Bloodborne’s greatest challenge, capping off the Old Hunters DLC with a climactic clash between a Hunter and its godly prey. ExImryll’s custom statue manages to perfectly capture the Orphan of Kos’ power, rage and inhuman appearance.

Bloodborne is available on PlayStation 4.
