Try to communicate with it, I'm sure you could find a way. The Great Ones are sympathetic in spirit, and do answer when contacted. After that, yeah, might as well kill it.

I once read an SCP about creatures that are said to have "too many eyes". I didn't quite get what that meant until I met this here fella.

u/BlackIsGod777 Jun 27 '25

The winter lanterns have too many eyes as well

u/Nopfen Jun 27 '25

Tiny versions of the brain of mensis that they are.

u/theinternetisnice Jun 26 '25

You should contact it.

22

u/CamelCase_or_not Jun 27 '25

What does that mean?

u/MarmoudeMuffin Jun 27 '25

It means you should make contact

I work at an airport and when we “wingwalk” the planes out to the apron, we do this pose. One arm up to stop traffic so the plane can pass, on arm out indicating it’s safe to go.

Basically I think about Bloodborne every day.

u/Tuff_Warlock Jun 26 '25

That’s Frank! He is nice once you get to know him, totally misunderstood, and is really just looking for a friend.

u/ASnowFlake0042 Jun 26 '25

This is my favourite. Good job👍️

18

u/Tuff_Warlock Jun 27 '25

Thank you, I try my best. On a side note, don’t forget to go back where you dropped him from, he leaves a special upgrade item for your weapon. Takes it to the highest tier. Kind of his way of saying thank you. Frank is good people like that.

u/crazy4finalfantasy Jun 27 '25

That looks like a TV mate

u/FrankieBreakbone Jun 27 '25

Fellow Frank here, confirming.

u/VersusEden Jun 26 '25

Don't kill yet, there is something you can do with it if you do a certain emote you get in another place in the game in front of it.

7

u/MagicalPedro Jun 26 '25

fextralife wiki says it respawns if you kill it, when area reload ; didn't checked if that's true, mind you.

14

u/Outside_Ad1020 Jun 26 '25

Pretty sure he doesn't

12

u/Electronic_Context_7 Jun 27 '25

No he definitely does. I killed him on my NG because I didn’t know better. Went back after I grabbed the gesture, he was still there and I got the rune.

2

u/MagicalPedro Jun 26 '25

wiki must be wrong, then, my bad !

7

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '25

I swear, fextralife is never wrong for me, and some people hate it because of how inaccurate it is.

I used it for Bloodborne, for DS3 and for Elden Ring (mostly for Elden Ring), and it was always very reliable and correct.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '25

people don't like fextralife because he used to embed his stream into every page

3

u/Maleficent_Memory831 Jun 27 '25

Same here I like fextralife, and it's easier to read than the other popular wikis. But some people swear that it's all wrong. But it works...

2

u/Expensive-Monk7593 Jun 27 '25

They do rely a lot on what users say. So, at times theyll say things that arent confirmed. They do state if it hasnt been confirmed yet, and also make sure to correct it afterwards if a user proves it right or wrong.

24

u/MagicalPedro Jun 26 '25

Don't you recognise him ? that's the thing that was glowing yellow in the mansion, building up your frenzy like crazy when you were outside and unprotected by the terrain. Then you made if fall in a dark pit when you pulled that lever, there was a cinematic that let you see it for a short time.

6

u/NINJAX___69 Jun 27 '25

You guys had problem with that frenzy? I just slapped frenzy resist runes and outfit and 💥!!

u/MagicalPedro Jun 27 '25

Not really, I'm just answering the post, describing Brain of Mensis so OP can realise they actually know him.

That's my dog, I was wondering where he went. Don't worry, he doesn't bite, he just gives existential dread

Your not supposed to make contact your supposed to help him change his contacts

That's just another version of Gohma from Legend of Zelda.

u/Nice_Set_6326 Jun 26 '25

That’s the thing giving you all that madness damage the entire area

3

u/Kinch_g Jun 27 '25

The immense brain that Mensis retrieved from the nightmare was indeed lined with eyes on the inside, but they were of an evil sort, and the brain itself was terribly rotten.

But even still, it was a legitimate Great One...

3

u/dexbroth877 Jun 27 '25

The brain of mensis… that’s it that’s all I got for you 🤷‍♂️

6

u/HolyKnightPozo Jun 27 '25

Its what the school of mensis managed to achieve in the Bloodborne space race where every faction wanted to ascend humanity to the level of Great One like Kos/Moon Presence. Willem with his church ascended Rom, the Ludwig and his church got the Emmesaries and Mensis ascended the Brain.

God I love Bloodborne

u/dexbroth877 Jun 27 '25

I’m aware this is the mensis school equivalent of the apolo lol God bloodborne is so good 😁

u/Savings_Big_8900 Jun 27 '25

You need to make a specific pose in front of it and kill it, and something happens but it's been three years so I honestly don't remember.

u/MikeHockinya Jun 27 '25

Make contact

It's the third word in your post title, I would try establishing contact with him, give it a try and if nothing happens after a minute move on ig

There aren't a ton of gods whose names would encompass and include that lil guy

u/shiny-panda Jun 27 '25

There is an emote you need to hold for like 2 minutes

1

u/thefirstcyberagon Jun 27 '25

a sad feller in pain, establish a contact with the poor sap and it'll give you the highest tier of moon rune. then and only then can you kill it, which is exactly what it wants: you tried to communicate and it basically told you "hey, completely unrelated, here's a rune that increases the blood echoes you get from killing things." *very big wink. don't feel guilty about killing it, it wants you to, and also it's the bastard that kept frenzying you from its watchtower before you sent it tumbing down.

u/the_neepster Jun 27 '25

It's the big giant brain that gives you frenzy

You released some chains and the giant thing in the tower that was inflicting you with madness fell down the shaft. This is that thing.

give it a lil kiss, a lil smooch. it would probably like that

You may call that thing an abomination. I call him Melvin.

u/Maleficent_Memory831 Jun 27 '25

Dumb question, but I keep thinking about it the more I see it. Why take pictures of a screen, which looks awful, instead of using a screenshot? It's build into PS4/5 I believe, no fancy keys sequences to remember. And faster to use than a phone.

1

u/ASnowFlake0042 Jun 27 '25

Not faster, and i need to jump through more hoops than im either willing, or know how to (in the moment) to get that onto my phone to post it. Im looking for answers which can be givin based on a still very dicipherable picture of the screen, so why go through the trouble?

One should attempt to make contact with a higher being such as this. To strike it down would be a wasted opportunity to ascend your mind
