Friend , you need to read up on the lore you ' ve got a lot of pieces wrong . Hisher ability to simply ressurrect on death isn ' t explained by the narrative the Hunter just does . It very much is . Gehrman the First Hunter made a deal with Flora the Moon Presence to create The Hunter ' s Dream with the purpose of helping other Hunters , using Gehrman ' s memory of the original workshop , and the Great One ' s ability to shape nightmares . All other hunters just STAY dead after being killed or transformed . In ending 1 , Gehrman kills you in the Dream , and you accept death . So you cannot return to the Dream afterwards . All other Hunters have gone through this before Eileen says upon killing you You still have dreams ? . Tell the little doll I said hello Djura says upon killing you I should think you still have dreams ? Well , next time you dream , give some thought Blood infusion is known to cause eventual madness , then transformation into beasts the more one uses it except for the Hunter , who seems immune . Madness isn ' t an instant thing for Hunters . It ' s instant for normal humans . Gascoigne and Eileen both had a ridiculously long lives before starting to turn . And Eileen could have never turned mad . This isn ' t true for NPCs or other hunters we meet in the game Gascoigne , Henryk . Who both had tragically long lives as Hunters according to their descriptions . The Hunter is free to use as much blood as he sees fit there ' s no real sign of madness . The PC Hunter was a Hunter for all of 12 hours . The other Hunters were Hunters for years if not decades . Beasts also seem to be massively powerful and likely immune to conventional damage . Yup , that ' s what blood transfusions were for to make humans superhuman , because Gehrman and his apprentices weren ' t strong or fast enough to keep up with the Beasts that were progressively becoming more powerful . Your weapons ? likely the same thing . No one really knows how they were forged originally . The vast majority were given pretty clear origins . The cane , saw , axe and so on were forged by Gehrman in the workshop . The spear , Whirlygig , Boomhammer and so on were created by Djura and the powder keg workers . All of these were just really well made , and fortified with blood . There ' s a lot more , but they all have clear origins . The ones without clear origins are Gehrman ' s scythe and Eileen ' s blades were both created by metal either given by Great Ones , or from a magical asteroid . The Holy Moonlight Greatsword just appeared out of nowhere to Ludwig . Some people think that Ebritas gave it to him . Without blood magic and reinforcement . Blood stuff in game isn ' t actually magic that you need to have . It ' s blood infected by Great Ones that anybody can use . with the inexplicable exception of the player . If the PC Hunter was a Hunter , killing cruely for a few more years he might turn like others , which only might happen in ending 1 .
