Powder Keg Hunter is an enemy in Bloodborne.
Powder Keg Hunter
"I conceive of no reason why the gunpowder lot should ever be forgot."
Brandishing an exploding hammer, the Power Keg Hunter is visually stunning and deadly.
He has a red-eye version who will show up when you attack the 4 passive Beast Patients to the left of the stairs leading to the cathedral.
Like all nightmare hunters his moves are accompanied by a smoke like dark aura and he wears the Old Hunter Set.
Strategy
- He lacks a firearm unlike his fellow Powder Kegs, but makes up for it with extreme aggression. He will often run after players instead of walking
- His hammer deals a lot of Fire Damage, so equipping defensive Runes can help mitigate damage.

"He has the largest hat of all known hunters" - Judge not a hunter by the size of his hammer, but by the size of his hat.

Lol, that last picture makes it look like the player is kissing this clearly superior hunter's boots.

His grunts are the singular reason the boom hammer is so cool.
