Specific Rules for Bloodborne

• Initial ticks of damage from Frenzy build-up do not count as a hit. However, getting damaged by the full proc from Frenzy counts as a hit.
• Getting sent to Wet Nurse’s Nightmare phase does not count as a hit (even though it can be avoided). Any attack received within the Nightmare phase counts as normal.
• The Moon Presence’s 1HP attack is not considered a hit.
• Ebrietas’ second phase damaging aura is not considered a hit.
• Getting grabbed by Amygdalas outside of Oedon Chapel and left of the Cathedral without the appropriate item (Bloodshot Eyeball and Tonsil Stone respectively) is a hit.
• For X Only runs, e.g. Weapon X Only, attacking and/or damaging enemies is only allowed with the X Only Restriction, fists, consumables and +0 starting pistols (for right hand Weapon Only runs). Usage of Bone Marrow Ash on said +0 Hunter Pistol/Blunderbuss is forbidden.
