What does the “Kos, Or Some Say Kosm” meme mean?

The quote conveys mock madness, esoteric rambling, or obsessive fixation on obscure lore. Internet users deploy it to parody intense mental confusion, to make an inside joke among FromSoftware enthusiasts, or simply to mimic an unhinged, repetitive monologue in comment sections.

Where does the “Kos, Or Some Say Kosm” meme come from?

The quote originates from the video game Bloodborne, released on March 24, 2015. During the Nightmare of Mensis section, players must pursue Micolash, Host of the Nightmare, through an intricate maze. While fleeing, Micolash continuously recites theatrical prayers to a being named Kos—or Kosm—pleading for insight. The relentless repetition of these lines during the chase quickly turned the encounter into community comedy. On June 17, 2015, user NPC_Invader created a lighthearted poll on the Fextralife Dark Souls wiki discussing how to pronounce the name. This marked an early documented instance of the dialogue spreading as a popular copypasta across web forums.
