Summary

The Forgotten Madman and Madman's Escort are Chalice Dungeon Bosses in Bloodborne. They are former members of the Healing Church that have been driven insane in the Hintertomb Labyrinth. While they wear tattered rags, their weapons are as sharp as they were on the day these two Tomb Prospectors entered the Labyrinth. The Madman’s Escort wields a Kirkhammer, a weapon of the Healing Church Hunters. The Forgotten Madman himself wields a Holy Blade and a Rifle, and uses an Empty Phantasm Shell, an item of high-ranking Church Members, to empower his Holy Blade with Arcane strength. But the most absolute telling weapon wielded by the Forgotten Madman is A Call Beyond, the ultimate weapon of the Healing Church, used only by their highest-ranking members.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Rally: A core mechanic of a hunter's fighting style, the ability to heal for part or all of the damage taken from a recent attack by retaliating with their own attacks. This allows a hunter to use an offense-centric, high risk/high reward style of combat, giving them the ability to sustain themselves by constantly attacking and counterattacking the enemy. However, this ability requires the opponent to be biological in some manner, as it is done in part by 'bathing in the opponent's blood' and does not work on inanimate targets or spirits^[4].
• Visceral Attack: A unique and brutal technique in a hunter's fighting style, using a firearm or projectile Hunter Tool such as the Blackskye Eye or Augur of Ebrietas to parry an incoming attack, The Hunter briefly staggers the opponent, leaving them open for The Hunter to drive their hand into the opponent's torso or skull and tear out large chunks of their organs, dealing a large amount of damage. This can also be used on an unsuspecting enemy, hitting them with a fully charged heavy melee attack to stagger them in the same way^[6].
• Blood Bullets: A technique used by hunters as a means of conserving or creating ammunition for firearms in place of Quicksilver Bullets. Using their own blood as a substitute, a hunter is able to create a seemingly limitless number of Blood Bullets so long as their vitality holds out^[2].
