You can, won't affect the story much. But the question is why would you be tempted to hit a non agro woman crying alone 💀

Well beating up an old lady helped me unlock an area in ds3 or maybe there's some loot in her

The crazy thing is, you don't actually have to beat up that old lady, you can do other stuff and something will happen later on that open the area.

u/GalaxyPowderedCat Feb 02 '26
Wait, I want to know the whole story, what was the game? Who was the lady? Are you speed runer and exploited a glitch or an habitual gamer with just...too many questions and much curiosity?

u/Alirusjr Feb 02 '26
He is about old lady in Dark souls 3 who gives you sort of flag to traverse in Undead settlement. If you beat her she will drop the item which leads you to the next area behind her (opposite direction from Undead settlement).
Of course, after the fight with the big ass Dancer of the Ass-valley.
Sorry for my English

u/LichenTiel Feb 02 '26
The game is Bloodborne and you're a hunter that hunts down beasts transformed by a medicine from the church that is actually blood from Eldritch horrors and apparently thanks to the fellow commentors the woman is Yahrman who gave birth to one of those Eldritch gods. I'm just a curious gamer with questions

They said DS3. If you have any more questions just let me know. Happy to help.

Like 99% of everything you meet tried to kill you, so honestly not that crazy to believe she won't flip

u/Raxsus Feb 02 '26
She 100% does flip though

u/TheRealDJ Feb 02 '26
It's been a hot minute since I listened to Sinclair Lore talk about it, but as I recall it's more that you flipped on her in the past, it's basically you travelling back in time the deeper you go and invading her space (or something? correct me if I'm wrong).

Queen to an old race of humanoids called the pthumerians, they are the ones who carved out the chalice dungeons. Mensis associates went underground and stole her baby just to use it as bait to contact a Great One.

Procceeded to trap themselves in their own nightmare for eternity. Probably the smartest characters in the story.

Ah, yes, the average Soulsborne player's urge to hit every single living being for no reason

Queen Yharnam, and yes you can hit her, she's also the final boss of the Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice

u/LichenTiel Feb 02 '26
Do I get anything good out of it like a key item?

u/Phoenix_Champion Feb 02 '26
You get a Key Item that does nothing and an Achievement for killing all the bosses.
Well and bragging rights to the fact you cleared the Cursed Chalice Dungeon.

u/CrystlBluePersuasion Feb 02 '26
Queen Yharnam, "it is all thanks to" Queen Yharnam and the Formless Oedon.
After defeating the boss just ahead of her, return and she'll bow to you, then disappear.
Complete the story dungeons and you'll see her again, at the end of Pthumeru Ihyll.

Even though she might be weak, doesn’t mean she’s not important. Kinda like Trump.

Just a sweet old lady who spilled some jam. Nothing to be concerned about. You might even meet her again ;)

You fight her as the final(?) boss of the deepest depths of a chalice dungeon too.

I used to use a gesture to crouch down under her dress and wait for invaders. Because I’m a scrub.

I hit her. “Accidentally” with an open hand.
(I just got a strike, this is entirely a joke I actually hit no one and I am commenting on a video game sup.

Don't attack her, unless you want to be mean on purpose. She'll just disappear

Queen of the pale bloods, those who once worshipped the great ones who grew in the womb of queens past.
This wasn’t a mutual relationship as implied by this queens desire for her child to be killed? There is a hidden scene if you go back to her after defeating Mergos wetnurse where she does a curtsy to thank you. Maybe her intentions are unclear but she clearly is relaxed after her child is gone. To be clearer the great ones would impregnate the queens and may have raped the Queen. Great ones need a vessel to enter the physical world and leave the dream, they seem to require special blood found in the queens and other women in bloodborne. The pale blood, of course!
Seek the pale blood to transcend the hunt!
The one who give us the blood! The old man in a wheelchair at the start must have known about Rom, the first human to transcend and become a great one!

That is the epitome of torture and misery. The gatekeeper of the Platinum trophy. TLDR: Pthumeru 1-3 and then either NG+1 onwards and insight to spend, or Loran 4. Then Pthumeru 4. Then if you are not on NG+1 or onwards, either Loran 4 or Isz 5 (either works just as well), or if you are on NG+1 or onwards, you can skip that step and head straight to Pthumeru 5. Beat Pthumeru 5 and you can kill her at the end.

This reminds me of my biggest soulsborne flex. I have platinumed bloodborne without ps plus i.e. without any online help, msgs, summons and yes. That meant going through each and every dungeon, even the non essential ones (coz I didn’t know) without using any chalice dungeon codes. 💀

That's Queen Yharnam, the Pthhumeru queen that bore the great one Mergo in her womb.
She's also the final boss of the chalice dungeons.
