I've been playing Bloodborne for a few weeks now, and I've had a very love/hate relationship with it.

In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, there is a status effect called 'Terror', which works similarly, in concept, to Frenzy, the only difference being that it outright instantly kills players if the bar fills to full.Bear with me, because I'm still riding an epic wave of rage here.

This might indicate that they are closer to beasts then some of the people of Yharnam.

Church Attire has Low Frenzy resistance and high Beasthood.

This suggests that frenzy also has some sort of physical manifestation rather than a mere mental effect. The corpse from which the player can pick up the first Frenzied Coldblood appear to be pierced to death by thorny blood spikes growing from the inside of his body.

Those who died to frenzy will form Frenzied Coldblood in their body.

Even when compared with status effects within the rest of the Souls' Series.

Frenzy is widely recognized by the Bloodborne community as the most dangerous status effect in the game.The Brain of Mensis' Frenzy can constantly deal moderate damage to the player and other enemies in Nightmare of Mensis.This will cause the special Frenzy of the Bloodletter to nullify the pre-existing one and losing only 50% instead of 75%, thus saving 25% health in the heat of the moment. The trick here is to use it after being frenzied by any other source when it's near activating.

The Bloodletter's special attack can actually be used to save the player’s life, or at least save on Blood Vials.Deep Sea runes and Great Deep Sea runes.The following will aid in resisting Frenzy: This version of Frenzy, however, is actually very tolerable, as it will cut only 50% of a player's health instead of the usual 75%. Bloodletter - Bizarrely, the Bloodletter's transformed state has an attack that will deal a Blood blast around it at the cost of inflicting Frenzy upon the player.This could put the player’s health below 75% without taking damage, allowing them to die once the frenzy builds up. Note that its frenzy gaze can constantly deal damage even when the frenzy isn't fully built up. Upon reaching the floor it's on, players should instead turn back as there are not enough Sedatives in the world to save them from death. Brain of Mensis - Not very dangerous in its direct encounter, but can still be a nuisance while climbing the path that leads to the castle.Amygdala - The ones capable of grabbing the player with their hands will trigger immediate Frenzy.Chalice Ghost (Cut Content) - It can shoot out several Messengers which deal damage and inflict Frenzy upon impact.Hunter Tools that knock it to the ground are also useful, such as the Augur of Ebrietas and Beast Roar. As such, high poise damage weapons like the Beasthunter Saif, Ludwig's Holy Blade, Kirkhammer, or Bloodletter could be used to stunlock it to death. Since they have very high poise, they are almost impossible to stagger with regular weapons. Their presence is given away by their incessant humming, so proceed with caution upon hearing them. Winter Lantern - By far one of the most dangerous enemies within the game.Clocktower Patient - The patients that are only heads and move towards the player will inflict Frenzy with a spray of blood.Church Servant - The ones who wield the crucifix-like weapon will deal low amounts of Frenzy, but are still very dangerous nonetheless.Celestial Child - Their bites induce the Frenzy, and multiple bites will stack the Frenzy.As such, keeping a maximum of 15 Insight is always recommended when exploring areas that can trigger Frenzy.Ģ3 March 2015 Sources of Frenzy Enemies However, this only starts occurring upon having higher than 15 Insight. The higher one's insight is, the more susceptible they are to Frenzy. The level of Insight a player has will negatively affect their Frenzy Resistance.This means players need to be with at least 75%+ health in order to survive the Frenzy. Upon getting Frenzied, the player will immediately lose 75% of their total health.This means that the player has time to back away and heal if necessary, or cure the status effect all together, should players be willing to drink a Sedative. Instead, the meter will gradually be filled on the player continuously. When a player receives Frenzy, that amount of Frenzy does not immediately fill up the bar.However, there are some notable key differences between the two:

Frenzy is a very dangerous status effect that acts similarly to Rapid Poison, meaning it will build up and then deal a specific amount of damage to the player's health.
