Description
Bloodborne is ALMOST completely flawless as a game and has been my all time favorite game for the longest time. However the game has one severe flaw in my opinion... a SEA of missed opportunities.
Firearms having actual range
Additional weaponry
More freedom for build creativity
Better designed PVP
And more than I can list here.
However one thing I do wish Fromsoft did was make actual BOSS weapons. After beating a boss, you get an item from them that allows you to transform it into a weapon/spell/item of use that's relevant to the boss themselves.
So, I decided to design my own boss weapons for this game, to sort of dream on what could have been possible.

Do you have your own ideas for boss weapons? Sound off in the comments! Or tell me what you think of these ones.
And without further ad-EUGH, let's get talkin' about these weapons.

Cleric Beast: For beating the Cleric Beast, you'd get one of his horns. Which can be transformed into his left FAPPING Bludgeoning hand. This will serve as your offhand weapon rather than a firearm for those players who just don't feel the need to use firearms or lack the skill. This purely exists to show that you don't always need a gun, without needing to wait for the DLC. The Cleric Beast Hand is a basic swiping attack, scaling a D in Strength and Arcane.

Father Gascoigne: My idea for this was that you actually get the hunters axe after this boss rather than in the dream. Because it is the OBJECTIVELY BEST STARTING WEAPON IN BLOODBORNE, why not earn it instead of just picking it? So this weapon has no actual difference to the original axe except for how you get it.
OR
You could instead get his pistol. Now in my version of Bloodborne, Firearms would actually deal damage and have better range than they do in the actual game. This pistol is a double barrel, sawn off shotgun though, so in exchange for pitiful range, it deals the most damage for close ranged firearms (save for cannons). This would allow you to effectively become the DOOMSLAYER, especially with Bone Marrow Ash.

Blood-Starved Beast: The Scrub Slayer would offer you the first new Trick Weapon in my line up of boss weapons. And I have to say I'm too proud of it. Some Madman took the liver of the BSB and attached its small intestine to both that and a flail hilt. The liver and intestine are made of such impossibly strong muscles that being struck with these causes great physical trauma. Somehow this abomination is able to transform from a one handed club into a two handed flail. Of course because it's the BSB, it's going to be oozing poison and deals slow poison build up per hit.
In its first form, it bases damage purely on strength, but in the second form it's all skill based (because if you ever tried using a flail, you need immense discipline to not harm yourself). Its got good reach in its two handed form and has plenty of sweeping attacks. Its L2 attack is to stretch and throw the weight before slamming the liver down. The force causing a large eruption of poison. Causes much higher poison build up and with a great area of effect.

Witches of Hemwick: I could have made a magic stave perhaps, but instead chose to just give players their tools of chaos. The witches brew is an arcane tool that the user holds up and in a few moments creates a small arcane ring to erupt around them. This damage is purely arcane based, but doesn't knock foes back unlike Beast Roar. Instead, it staggers but with the trade off of dealing a full ring of damage. Effective if used right as the cast time is rather slow.
OR
You could have their own hook tools. This is not a weapon but rather a usable item, and can only be used on human enemies. The end result is the hunter pulling it out and grabbing a victim by the head. If you land it, you use this tool to carve out their eyes just like the witches. Only instead of just doing flat damage, you also extract insight from your victim.
I thought this was fitting as the witches covered themselves in eyes to gain insight, and the theme of Bloodborne is that you need more eyes to collect otherworldly knowledge.
So basically it's like the Dark Hand of Dark Souls 1.

Vicar Amelia: Again, maybe I could have taken the time to make a more human weapon to fit Amelia, but I couldn't think of one at the time. So instead, we get her golden pendant that now has an ACTUAL USE...
This arcane tool does exactly as it does for Amelia in her boss. You clutch this tool close and assume her kneeling posture. At the cost of one bullet per second, you begin to heal for as long as you hold down the square button. This tool is a complementary healing item to the Choir Bell for a few reasons.
1. Numbing Mist does prevent the use of this tool as it does for Amelia
2. This item only heals the user, not comrades
3. The animation is longer
4. Instead of having to use seven bullets, you consume as many as you're willing to part with. Which is also useful if you need to save your few remaining vials but are at 75% health, this lets you save up on more bullets.

And there you have it. The first five bosses have boss weapons.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING THOUGH.

EDIT: I've been experimenting with my bloody Printer, and found out that there's not a thing I can do about Vicar Amelia's Pendant use drawing.
You see, in the actual drawing, there's a lot more yellow and light pink going on around the kneeling church doctor to show the aura of healing. But my scanner and phone CANNOT pick it up. I even changed my resolution to a whopping 1200 and it couldn't pick up such light colors. I'm guessing that because there's so little of actual color in those spots, it can't detect it. This presents a problem...
