You may visit some areas earlier than I have described describe although this guide was constructed in a way which allows you to visit every location and every place in every area and to help you unlock the best shortcuts which will allow you to travel fast if you will die.

Troublesome wolves - How to go past the Wolf Beasts on the bridge? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughTroublesome wolves

Shortly after beginning the game, you will reach a place where two Wolf Beasts are blocking your way across the bridge. At this stage, fighting them may cause you a lot of trouble. The thing is, the enemies are on your way to a gate that will provide a nice shortcut if you open it. However, there are two ways of going past them.

The ladder in the sewers, leading to the lift. - How to go past the Wolf Beasts on the bridge? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe ladder in the sewers, leading to the lift.

1. Going through the sewers (a longer and more dangerous way). When standing before the bridge, you can turn left (down). Destroy the crates on the left to unlock the way and jump down into the sewers using a few wooden platforms. Now you have to walk quite a long way straight forward, then left (in the place where you jump to the bottom). There is a Giant Boar in the tunnel so choose the ladder on the right. Go up and use the lift to the left of the bridge. Now walk straight, go past the enemies and open the door at the end of the path. Run through the building and open the gate to unlock a shortcut. To get to the other side of the bridge again, you just have to go back to the building, to the first floor and use the stairs on the left to go higher. You should have the Wolf Beasts on your right.

2. Go past the Wolf Beasts (a much easier way). A bit farther, turn left (an enemy will jump out) and enter the house. Downstairs, open the door on the left and leave the building not minding the enemies. Go up the stairs (to the right) and open the gate. Now you can go back to the building that you've seen before and eliminate the enemies. On the first floor, you will find stairs leading to the bridge and the Wolf Beasts shouldn't attack you. If the Beasts are aggressive, go back to Hunter's Dream, teleport to the lantern near the shortcut that you've unlocked and run to the bridge through the building. You will have the Wolf Beasts on your right and the path on the left should be clear. This strategy is a lot easier. You just have to quickly run past the enemies.

3. This tactic is connected to the previously mentioned way. When the werewolves will run after you, they will lock in the door of the house below. Now you can easily finish both monsters.

4 - How to go past the Wolf Beasts on the bridge? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

4. On the previous court with a fountain you can get off the main path. To do it, before the road to the fountain walk to the group of coffins seen on the screen. Destroy them to unlock passage below. There kill dogs, including the ones in cages (they can get out of it) and turn left. A while further you can walk to the stairs on the left or stay on the right side - pick the second option and go directly to the building. Open the door and quickly walk out through the next one, then use the stairs to get up - from this side, you can open the gate that leads to the Central Yharnam lamp.

Walking to the altar will change the day time and will give you access to the Forbidden Woods. - How to find Tonsil Stone? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWalking to the altar will change the day time and will give you access to the Forbidden Woods.

After defeating the Vicar Amelia and walking to the altar you will push the story forward. You will be able to go to many different places, including Lecture Hall and then Nightmare Frontier. But to safely travel to those places, you will require a special item called Tonsil Stone.

Important: You can reach the lower part of Lecture Hall from above, you will be given access near the end of the game, but visiting this location is possible without having the Tonsil Stone.

One of the houses in which you can receive the Tonsil Stone. - How to find Tonsil Stone? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughOne of the houses in which you can receive the Tonsil Stone.

To receive the Tonsil Stone you must defeat Vicar Amelia and visit the Forbidden Woods - at least open the passage. Then you will receive this item in each house in front of which door or window a red lantern is placed. But there is one condition: you won't receive the stone in house in which there were NPC's whom you have sent to safe place ("no response" dialogue). It means that, for example, if you have sent the old woman to the chapel you won't find anyone in her window.

You shouldn't worry about it too much as there is more than enough of such houses. Here is a few examples (you will receive the Tonsil Stone always during your first conversation):

- Cathedral Ward - turn right before the Grand Cathedral, to the spot where two hunters are fighting.

- Forbidden Woods - after reaching the village (before the gate) move slightly to the left, up, where a single house is standing.

- Hemwick Charnel - house between the first elevator and the fire.

In addition to these location, you can search for the stone in places where you haven't sent anyone to the safe spot: Gilbert, Viola's Daughter, Lonely Old Woman, Arianna or Skeptical Man.

With the stone in your pocket move to the Grand Cathedral and then turn maximally to the right - How to find Tonsil Stone? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Profitability of upgrades

Due to the Soft cap you never get much stronger than your opponents. - How to level up your character? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough Due to the "Soft cap" you never get much stronger than your opponents.

While upgrading, you need to remember about "Soft cap" and "Hard cap". They represent the individual boosts that you receive, while upgrading the specific ability. This means that from a certain moment, for each point that you spend on a specific ability, you receive maximum boost (e.g. +25 health points). From a certain point (at which you reach the level of the "Soft cap"), for each point that you spend, the number of health points will be lower, up until you reach the "Hard cap" level, which is the maximum level for the statistic. In Bloodborne, there are two "Soft cap" levels. After you reach the second one, it becomes completely unprofitable to invest in the ability.

At the beginning of the game, it vital to own an appropriate number of Blood Vials. They are dropped by various opponents, in Yharnam, however, there are locations, where you can farm vials, i.e. obtain a larger number of them, relatively quickly. Later into the game, it should be easy for you to obtain them but, in at least two initial locations, it is a good idea to spend some time on getting the right amount, before you head on.

Blood Vials - Central Yharnam

Werewolves tend to get stuck in narrow passages - How to obtain blood vials, blood echoes and quicksilver bullets, the easy way? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWerewolves tend to get stuck in narrow passages

To obtain Blood Vials, you first need to unlock the gate to the left of the lantern in central Yharnam (see the Walkthrough to learn how to do that). Then, with this point as the starting point, you can go down to the building below, and kill two opponents along your path. Then, above (two more opponents), you find a bridge access. On the right, there are two werewolves. Attract their attention and escape back into the house. The opponents will get stuck in the doorway, where you can kill them easily. You receive several vials for that. Then, exit and go left - there, among crows, you find another bigger opponent that drops vials. Finally, return to the house and cross the exit to the right. As you go down, go left a bit, where you find two more such opponents, in the yard.

Then, deal with the bigger opponent at the other end of the bridge. Climb up the stairs, on the left, where you encounter two, quite strong, opponents. For killing them, you receive more vials. This route, depending on your current level, should last 5-8 minutes and the number of the Blood Vials that you receive is going to be 15-20. If you find it difficult, you can focus on the werewolves at the beginning, which you will easily defeat, after they get stuck in the doorway. Taking the route several times will allow you to amass quite a few vials.

Blood Vials - Cathedral Ward

The beginning of the route. - How to obtain blood vials, blood echoes and quicksilver bullets, the easy way? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe beginning of the route.

Another location, where you can quickly get a higher amount of vials, and also quite a few Blood Echoes, is Cathedral Ward. The path is as follows:

1. Exit the chapel through the door on the left, two opponents in the yard.

2. Climb up, defeat the giant.

3. Go left, where you find two bigger opponents, one of them turned away.

4. Then, on the right, you find another giant, with a ball.

5. Return to the stairs and go to the main yard - there, you find two more giants, you can fight them one-by-one.

6. Cross the gate, at the foot of the stairs, kill two opponents and the vicious dog.

7. Then, take the stairs to the right, kill two more opponents past the gate, who are standing next to the bonfire.

Blood Echoes

With your progress, obtaining Blood Echoes will become more difficult. Although the locations mentioned here are perfect for that, for the majority of time, due to the ease to defeat the opponents (later), this may be not enough, later into the game.

You can then visit Mensis Nightmare. Starting with the lantern Mergo Flat: Center climb up and go left, then. You encounter three opponents that resemble Shadows of Yharnam. Climb up the stairs and in a moment, you run up into a wild pig. After you kill it, go ahead, where you are attacked by two more (it is possible to lure one of them away and fight them one-by-one, which makes things easier). Finally, at the end, defeat more "Shadows". There are 4 groups of enemies to defeat, in the case of this route. For this, you will be rewarded with several Blood Vials and quite a few Blood Echoes.

There are two ways, in which you can get to Yahar'gul, The Unseen Village. The first one is visiting the village earlier than it is required by the plotline. You can then only access the part of the village called the Underground Jail.

For this to be possible, you need to defeat the boss at the Old Yharnam, Blood-starved Beast - How to get to Yahargul, The Unseen Village? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

For this to be possible, you need to defeat the boss at the Old Yharnam, Blood-starved Beast. After you do that, in several locations, you will encounter opponents of a new type ((the screenshot), with bags on their backs. These bags are used for capturing you and the opponents are very strong. At an early stage into the game, they will easily kill you. And this is the point! Unusually, after you are killed by the opponents, you do not respawn in the location of the last lit lamp. Instead, you will respawn in the cage inside the Underground Jail.

Some of the locations, where you can encounter the "catchers":

- after you leave Odeon's Chapel (the entrance is across) go right before the stairs, as much as possible, towards the building. The catcher is lurking in the corner,

- at the Cathedral ward, on the right side of the chapel where there is the entrance to the Old Yharnam,

- in the lower part of the workshop, in the Healing Church,

- in the Forbidden Woods, in the upper part of the village.

In groups, catchers are immensely strong, in case of any problems, you can return here later. - How to get to Yahargul, The Unseen Village? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn groups, catchers are immensely strong, in case of any problems, you can return here later.

This location is swarming with strong opponents. If you have traveled to the village early into the game, you may have hard time here. To be able to return here, it is a good idea to exit the cage, right after you wake up, and climb up the stairs, where you can light the lamp at the altar. It remains lit, up until you have killed Rom, the Vacuous Spider. After you defeat him in Byrgenwerth, you will not be able to use it anymore.

Note: In the village, you can find Adella, who is connected with a side quest. If you want to save her, by telling her about the safety, you need to do this, before you fight Rom, the Vacuous Spider. Some of the items that you find here, during the first visit, are the same as the ones that you find later on - if you miss something, you will still have one more opportunity to visit here.

After the fight with Rom, The Vacuous Spider, approach the lakeside and you will be teleported directly to the Yahargul, The Unseen Village entrance. - How to get to Yahargul, The Unseen Village? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter the fight with Rom, The Vacuous Spider, approach the lakeside and you will be teleported directly to the Yahar'gul, The Unseen Village entrance.

The location itself will not be much different - all the some opponents disappear and they are replaced with other. After you defeat Rom, the Vacuous Spider, you gain access to the entire Yahar'gul, The Unseen Village. The entrance is on the right-most side, in Cathedral ward, you need to take a turn before the Church. In the spot, where you could earlier access the Lecture Building, there will now be opened door - this is the actual entrance to Yahar'gul.

The gate across which you access the main yard. - How to open the main gate in Cathedral Ward? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe gate across which you access the main yard.

After you defeat Father Gascoigne you will walk into the Cathedral ward. As you exit the cathedral through the left exit, and turn right, you make it to the large locked gate, after you climb the big stairs. Opening it is necessary to access the main yard and then, the rest of the locations. There are two different ways to open the gate.

The bigger the opponents, the more Blood Echoes. - How to open the main gate in Cathedral Ward? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe bigger the opponents, the more Blood Echoes.

The first one is not too demanding, nor time consuming. First of all, you need to defeat the Cleric Beast, the boss on the Great Bridge. You then receive the option to buy the Sword Hunter Badge from Messengers, in the Hunter's Dream. After you buy it, you can use it to open the gate. The only problem at this stage, is the price of the badge (10000 Blood Echoes). If you run out of opponents, you can respawn them, by returning to the Hunter's Dream, and back to Cathedral ward. You also receive lots of cocktails for killing the large opponents, which is why killing them is highly profitable. After you have collected the amount, effect the purchase.

The balcony that you get to, after you use the lift - by jumping off it, you open all the gates. - How to open the main gate in Cathedral Ward? - FAQ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe balcony that you get to, after you use the lift - by jumping off it, you open all the gates.

As a matter of fact, you do not need to open the gate at this side, which would require you to spend your Blood Echoes. This method is the easiest and the fastest, but there also is an option to open the gate at the other side. To do this, you need to visit Old Yharnam, where you need to defeat the Blood-starved Beast. This is when, at the Odeon's Chapel the door on the right will swing open - it leads to the Healing Church Workshop. After you jump off it, o the very bottom, and go left at the intersection (after you leave the building) you find a lift to Cathedral ward. Climb down from the balcony that you get to and open the nearest gate, and then another two, including the one leading up to the central yard.

Losing your life in Bloodborne is something natural and does not mean that you will lose the game. Death causes some annoying consequences although they are not cumbersome enough to significantly hinder your game.

The place where you turn on a lamp allows you to both respawn here and to use the fast travel option. - Death - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe place where you turn on a lamp allows you to both respawn here and to use the fast travel option.

You will die every time when you will lose your Hit Points (the red bar in the upper left corner) irrespective if it will be caused by the damage dealt by your enemies or if you will fall from a high altitude. You may restore your Hit Points by fighting with the enemies ("Regaining") or by using the Blood Vials. If you will die you will reborn in the last place in which you have turn on the lamp. Lamps are in many places in the areas where you will visit. You can fast travel from them and to them from the Hunter's Dream area. While visiting a place remember to always turn on a lamp to unlock the fast travel option.

You will find the Blood Echoes in a blood stains on the ground in a place where someone died earlier on. - Death - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou will find the Blood Echoes in a blood stains on the ground in a place where someone died earlier on.

Your death will also affect your collected Blood Echoes which are the in-game currency (thanks to it you may receive new items and increase your character's level). Echoes reflect your progress in developing your character however if you will die you will lose all the Echoes you have gathered. It doesn't mean (yet) that you can't get them back. In a place where you have died you may find a stain of blood. Interact with it to receive all the Echoes which have belonged to you. If you will succeed you may consider your death unimportant since you will not suffer any special penalty from it.

This process may get a little bit more complicated since some of the blood stains may not appear in a place where you have died - Death - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This process may get a little bit more complicated since some of the blood stains may not appear in a place where you have died. It will happen when the enemy responsible for your death will take the stain over. To receive your Blood Echoes you have to take revenge and kill the enemy which eyes have a specific purple light (compare to the screenshot above). Sometimes it will be quite difficult especially if you will have to find him in an area located far away from your respawn point since every enemy (beside bosses and hunters) will face you again. If you will die again without collecting your Blood Echoes you will lose the previous amount for ever. That's why it is beneficial to return sometimes to the Hunter's Dream area and use your extra currency to buy some items or to level up.

Death is not that scary. - Death - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDeath is not that scary.

In conclusion the death will result in:

  • respawning your enemies in target area (beside bosses and hunters),
  • respawning your character next to the last lamp which you have light,
  • losing the Blood Echoes until the player will get them back or (if the character will die again) losing them forever.

In Bloodborne, you can perform several special attacks. These actions are not only nice looking, but also make the gameplay easier for you in a lot of situations. You should learn when can you use the attacks to quickly and more effectively kill the enemies.

Stopping an attack + finishing strike

A very useful move that allows you to immediately stop an enemy attack and stun him. You can perform it on enemies that are of similar size as the hero. In the case of larger enemies, stunning them using guns may be impossible. A rifle is better for doing that than a pistol, because of the shot dispersion. In both cases however, the action is the same.

1. Approach the enemy from the front and aim at him.

2. Wait until he starts to prepare his attack. It is usually signalized by raising the weapon above the head.

3. Shoot ([L2]). If the enemy kneels down, it means that the attack was successful and if he continues to attack, you were slightly late. It is important to shoot when the enemy is in the process of performing his attack.

4. Quickly come close to the enemy and perform a quick attack ([R1]). When you do it perfectly in time, a short animation will appear and the enemy will receive a lot of damage. In the case of weaker enemies, they will be killed instantly. As for stronger hunters, it will surely not be enough to finish the fight.

You can also perform a finishing move on a stunned enemy of bigger size. This type of enemies can be stunned using strong attacks or other factors, individual to some bosses (for example in the case of Darkbeast Paarl, you can stun the opponent by hitting his legs). Just remember to approach the enemy from the head because you can perform a finishing move only from this side.

Approaching the enemy from behind + finishing move

This attack is similar to the previous one and it also ends with a finishing move. To perform this action, you only need a weapon and an enemy facing his back at you.

1. Slowly (!) approach the enemy facing his back at you. You cannot be seen or heard by the opponent (hold left analog button lightly when walking towards the enemy).

2. When you're close (do not come too close, because touching the opponent will ruin your plan), charge your attack to the maximum ([hold R2]). After a while (the edge of your weapon will start glowing), the attack will be performed automatically.

3. The enemy will kneel down. You can approach him and use a quick attack ([R1]) to perform the finishing sequence.

Remember that you can use this technique on moving enemy as well. You just have to lock the target, slowly come close to it and attack with full power. It will stun the enemy and allow you to perform execution. You should use this strategy as frequently as you can, because of the high damage it provides.

Jump + attack

This move will also be helpful when you want to shorten the distance between you and the enemy and to break their protection (shields). Using this technique, you can very quickly cover quite a long distance and attack the enemy. The hero jumps forward and strikes with his weapon above his head.

1. Lock the target.

2. Move forward and perform strong attack ([R2]) simultaneously.

Learning this technique requires to move the left analog and press the button responsible for attack simultaneously. You can use this attack when you want to finish an enemy without coming close to him and risk being hit.

Note: In most cases, hunters dodge this move and counterattack.

Quick weapon transformation

Have you ever wanted to transform your weapon during the fight and risked being attacked during the process? There is a quick way of doing this which doesn't require you to stop your sequence of attacks. The weapon will be transformed and you will perform the next hit.

1. Perform an attack. If you are transforming the weapon from short to long, it can be both quick or strong attack. Otherwise, this technique won't work every time (use a quick attack in this case).

2. When attacking, transform your weapon ([L1]). Thanks to such move, the hunter will finish the first attack, the weapon will be changed and another strike will follow.

You can also transform your weapon fluently a few times in a row. Just keep performing quick attacks ([R1]) and switching weapons one after another ([L1]). This way, the hero will keep attacking and switching weapons.

Air Attack

In some situations, you find yourself above the opponent, e.g. a cliff or atop a ladder. Normally, you take damage after you jump off, but you can kill two birds with one stone by jumping off on the opponent below.

1 Lock the camera on the opponent below.

2. Jump off, while having a weapon equipped.

3. While in mid-air, execute a quick attack ([R1]). Your hunter drops onto the opponent and kills him.

Situations, in which such attacks can be used are rare but, familiarity with such attack can make exploration easier and allows you to attack by surprise.

Combat is the most important part of Bloodborne. In every location you will find a huge amount of enemies which you will need to defeat. Obviously your enemies will deal you some damage what in result will decrease your Hit Points bar. However there is a way to regain at least some part of your Hit Points.

If you will take any damage a part of your health bar will become frozen - Regaining - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you will take any damage a part of your health bar will become "frozen". It is symbolized by turning the basic dark red color into a slightly lighter kind of red. You will also see on your health bar a tiny white line which separates both colors. The damage which you have just taken may result in shortening your health bar to this very line. However you have few moments to reduce the damage income or even cancel the damage taken and return your health bar to its previous state.

To regain your Hit Points you have to act quick - Regaining - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

To regain your Hit Points you have to act quick. The life bar will stay lighter only for a few moments and if you will miss the opportunity to cancel your damage taken you will be able to heal yourself only with a Blood Vial. To regain your frozen Hit Points you have to attack any opponent as fast as you can. If your attack will succeed for a short time you will see an orange sphere (see screenshot above) what means that you have regain some part of your Hit Points. This way game definitely supports an aggressive playstyle.

When you fight with weaker or isolated enemies you should always try to regain your Hit Points. - Regaining - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen you fight with weaker or isolated enemies you should always try to regain your Hit Points.

However there is one difficulty connected to this mechanic. During the regaining process you can get even half of your health bar if you have taken a strong punch however you can't be hit again while you try to heal. Taking another hit will lock the regaining possibility and will add some more damage to it. Also using a Blood Vail when you could regain your health cancels this opportunity. Another thing is that you can never get more health than you have lost before the last hit. And now something very important: you can regain health only after taking a melee hit. It means you can't use the regaining option after taking a shot from a gun or after taking a damage from a Molotov Cocktail.

All these things are very important during your battles since attacking in a good moment will help you save some Blood Vails and in result you will be able to survive longer fights. From the other hands this mechanic is very dangerous if you try to defeat a group of enemies. Don't try to regain health in these situations since one hit will interrupt your attempts and you will take even more damage without any benefit.

Insight is a special statistic that represents your familiarity with the rules that govern the world of Yharnam - Insight - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Insight is a special statistic that represents your familiarity with the rules that govern the world of Yharnam. To a major extent, Insight points are connected with online game (ringing the bells), and they also affect the surrounding and the opponents, to a slight extent. From Messengers in the fountain next to the door of the house in the Hunter's Dream you can buy items for Insight points, as long s you have, at least, 10.

The way Insight affects individual game elements:

- animation of the doll in the Hunter's Dream, which allows you to improve on your character,

- the amount of Insight that you have affects the effectiveness of the "Beast" mode (the more Insight, the weaker the effect),

- the more Insight, the lower the resistance to being frenzied,

- some opponents receive new attacks, which makes the game more difficult,

- you can summon other players, by using the Beckoning Bell or invade other worlds, after you use the Sinister Resonant Bell,

- the limit of Insight to be attained is 99 points.

The looks affects the attacks of the opponents. - Insight - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe looks affects the attacks of the opponents.

Additionally, after you reach a certain value, you can note the following:

1 point - in the Hunter's Dream the doll comes to life; you can then raise your level using Blood Echoes. Next to you, there appears a group of Messengers , who give you the Beckoning Bell and the Silencing Blank, thanks to which you can summon help.

10 points - in the Hunter's Dream there appears a shop, where you can buy items for Insight. If the amount of your 10 points drops below, the shop disappears and it reappears, after that value is reached again.

15 points - some of the opponents receive new attacks. Opponents with lanterns in the Cathedral Ward may now fire projectiles and the opponents with crosses and a scythe now have stronger attacks.

40 points - the opponents start resembling Amygdala in their looks and appear outside of the Oedon's Chapel and the room that you cross on your way to Yahar'gul.

50 points - the melody in Hunter's Dream changes.

60 points - you can sometimes hear a baby's cry in the background.

You can view Amygdalas kin after you have obtained enough Insight - Insight - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou can view Amygdala's kin after you have obtained enough Insight

You attain Insight automatically, with your progression. It reflects your familiarity with the world, so you receive it for finding bosses and defeating them. Each instance of walking into a new location, encountering a special kind of an opponent, or talking to some NPCs is also rewarded with Insight points. On corpses, you also find items such as Madman's Knowledge and Great One's Wisdom, which additionally provides you with one, or two points respectively.

You can also lose Insight, if only you use it to summon help or die in the world of another hunter. In the game, there also is an opponent that drains Insight - if he catches you and a cutscene, where he is trying to reach your brain with his tentacles, starts, not only does it mean losing health, but also the permanent loss of two Insight points (after you kill the opponent, you do not receive them back).

Running away on a ladder will usually work... but not always. - General advices - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughRunning away on a ladder will usually work... but not always.

1. Move carefully. If you're in a location for the first time, don't run all over it - sooner or later you will get attention of too many enemies or will fall in a trap. Only if you know a location well you can avoid some enemies, especially if your objective is to fight a boss.

2. Use various support items during combat - frequently Antidote will prove itself useful by removing poison effects. Other useful items are Molotov Cocktail, Quicksilver Bullets and Blood Vials.

3. Learn enemy behavior. Each of them has unique weapon, size, style and attack type. It will allow you to know when you should dodge and when you can safely attack. It is especially important when planning a tactic for defeating boss. Knowledge of his attacks might decide of life and death.

4. Enemies change their position. Some enemies will always remain in same place, but most of them are walking through various places. Some weaker enemies sometimes additionally group themselves and patrol a territory together.

5. There is no pause in the game. Combined with the previous advice, it means you are safe only in Hunter's Dream or wherever you have defeated all nearby enemies.

6. Items can be found only in shining bodies, large chests/boxes and in defeated enemies' bodies. You don't need to destroy barrels in order to find treasures, although...

7. ...sometimes you can find a hidden passage behind them, leading to previously unavailable part. Sometimes you should look for hidden doors or paths going beneath obstacles.

8. Items can be found only once. It means that after a death and respawn you won't find anything else in once looted bodies. In that case, you can count only on loot dropping from enemies. Remember about saving your items and not wasting them when it is not needed. You never know when they will be really useful.

9. Blood echoes is game's currency. They are given for defeating enemies, you lose it when you die. Because of that, if you have many of them, you should travel to Hunter's Dream and spend them on items or increasing character level.

10. Further in the game you will gain special runes that make you stronger. You should use them before fighting a boss, for example by increasing condition, health points or magic resistance if enemy is using magic attacks.

Well aimed cocktail might knock down few enemies at once. - General advices - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWell aimed cocktail might knock down few enemies at once.

11. There is a limit of quantity of items you have. For Blood Vials and Quicksilver Bullets its 20 pieces, for Antidotes - 10. Surplus is automatically transferred to your stock in Hunter's Dream. You can increase the maximum quantity, for example with runes.

12. If you're stuck at some point, don't force yourself to go forward. Instead, spend some time on fighting enemies. It will give you more items and Blood Echoes. The latter can be used, for example, to increase character level. That, and items obtained will make you stronger and will make beating the harder level easier.

13. Always have some supplies of Blood Vials. You will face some enemies that will force you to use this item very often. Quicksilver Bullets are very useful as well, just as Molotov Cocktails and Antidotes.

14. Remember about unlocking shortcuts. Sometimes there is only one or two respawn points in a very large area. By unlocking shortcuts (opening doors from other side, using elevators, unlocking mechanisms) in case of death it will be much easier to return to previously visited territory.

15. After you leave the game, you return in the same place you left. It's not a way to run away from enemies. If it gets dangerous, you can always travel to Hunter's Dream, even if enemies are nearby.

16. Plan your character's development. You can use a strong character that has slower, but powerful weapons or specialize in much faster, but weaker build. It means you must plan spending your attributes on further levels - you receive only one point per level, it would be a waste to spend it on useless abilities.

17. In darker places you can use a torch. It is used as a weapon held in left hand.

18. Keep upgrading your weapon, even if you don't like to fight. During the game you will find shards and Blood Gems that give you additional boost to various statistics.

19. The further in the game, the more Blood Echoes you receive for combat. But remember that prices of items increase as well. If you have many Blood Echoes you can sometimes make some savings for later.

20. Fighting a group of enemies is never easy. Most important thing that you must remember is not allowing enemies to surround you. It's hard to avoid hits from every direction (it's easy to block yourself when trying to make a dodge). Don't underestimate even the weakest units in a group. You can lure enemies away one after another using the Pebbles or deal damage to few of them at once with Molotov Cocktails.

21. Talk to NPCs. You usually find the hiding in the houses with lanterns lit in front of. From some, you learn information about the game world, whereas the others will reward you, with an additional item. Some of the NPCs are also connected with side quests.

22. Always perform one attack too much. Often, it may seem as though the enemy is already dead, whereas he still has some health left. It is better to land an unnecessary attack than to take additional damage.

23. Take care, while using lifts. In several spots, you can note holes in walls, a secret passage or wide windows. Usually, you can jump out of the lift, in such a spot, and discover a secret passage.

For the first time you visit Hunters Dream quickly after you start the game, when you die or light the lamp. - Hunters Dream - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughFor the first time you visit Hunter's Dream quickly after you start the game, when you die or light the lamp.

Combat is an inseparable element of Bloodborne. In every location, you encounter many opponents, that are represented in multitudes, all around Yharnam. The regular afflicted, larger creatures, giants, hunters, spiders are just a few. At the top of the food chain, there are bosses, which are unique in their attacks, higher strength and lots of health points.

Regardless of the types of opponents that you encounter, there are several useful hints that you need to keep in mind, and which will make it easier for you to survive - Combat - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the types of opponents that you encounter, there are several useful hints that you need to keep in mind, and which will make it easier for you to survive. First of all, carry around a supply of Blood Vials. With slight exceptions, health in Bloodborne does not regenerate spontaneously so, you need to replenish it on your own.

A quick counterattack allows you to retrieve some of your health. - Combat - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughA quick counterattack allows you to retrieve some of your health.

Another issue is exploiting combat mechanics to your advantage. The most important thing is to remember about the wide variety of tricks and hits that you can use. Using the same pattern of attack, over and over again, does not work in the majority of cases. You need to use combos with skill, combine attacks with dodges and stun opponents with shots. All of the combat elements are useful, there is no useless or unnecessary move here. Mastering the mechanics and controls, timing stuns well, timing attacks or dodges takes some time. Still, the reward is the ease, with which you defeat more and more opponents, as well as the satisfaction from the fight.

An accurate Molotovs Cocktail may kill several weaker opponents. - Combat - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAn accurate Molotov's Cocktail may kill several weaker opponents.

In fight, you should remember about the items that you can use to your aid, not only Blood Vials. Pebbles can be used to lure opponents away from the rest of the group, where you can deal with them only. Molotov's Cocktails will allow you to drive down the boss's health bar, or to eliminate weaker of the opponents (the burning effect is additionally increased with Oil Urn that you throw beforehand). Poison knives can cause slow poisoning and drop in your opponent's health, where you can protect yourself with Antidotes against this effect. Interrupt the healing process of the enemy hunter, by using the Numbing Mist, and apply Bolt Paper to your weapon, to increase damage dealt. There are many options, when it comes to the choice of items and various things are good for various occasions. It is a good idea to remember about the wide variety of gadgets.

If you can get the opponent from behind, do it. - Combat - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you can get the opponent from behind, do it.

Do not ever underestimate your opponent. Vicious dogs deal little damage, but they are very fast. The bigger opponents are easier to walk around, but they deal much more damage, after they hit you. Each opponent that you encounter is dangerous, in his own respect and underestimating them may end in losing lots of health. Of course, you can avoid some of the opponents, especially while traveling towards an arena with a boss but, watch out because they do not give up that quickly and they chase you for some time.

Sometimes, there are unconventional ways of dealing with opponents. - Combat - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughSometimes, there are unconventional ways of dealing with opponents.

Fighting against a group is a different pair of shoes. Even the weakest of opponents may quickly kill you, if you let yourself be surrounded. This is due to the fact that they can interrupt your attacks, if these have not been charged beforehand. Taking hits from several sides at a time, combined with the temporary interruption of an attack, ends in your death, in 99% of the cases. For this reason, try to lure single opponents away from the rest of the group and, if this is not an option, focus on eliminating one of the opponents, as quickly as possible, and take to another one, after he dies.

While fighting hunters, watch out for firearms and their quick attacks. - Combat - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhile fighting hunters, watch out for firearms and their quick attacks.

Hunters are much like yourself and you encounter them in several locations. Some of them are hostile towards you, by default, whereas the others need to be provoked first. Fighting them is different than fighting other opponents - they usually are much faster, can land a quick combo, dash away quickly and counter your attacks. Also, they can use attacks that temporarily stun the opponent. On the other hand, they are just as vulnerable to such attacks so, you can often use your firearm to stun a hunter. Then, you can execute a stronger finishing attack. In the game, you encounter weaker and stronger hunters, much depends on the weapons that they are using and their attacks. Ones packing a pistol or a blunderbuss seem to be especially dangerous, because they can easily interrupt your attack with a single shot.

A bit different is fighting against the living hunters, while invading the other worlds, or if your own has been invaded. There is no one set rule here - you do not know what type of opponent you are going to fight, nor what is his weapon, nor how his character has been developed. However, in such fights, try not to use Blood Vials. It is an unwritten rule that not everybody follows, though. For this reason, remember about the Numbing Mist, which you can cast at the opponent, to prevent him from healing himself. Taking a bow before the fight is also a welcome kind of behavior.

Using the Tiny Music Box temporarily stuns Father Gascoigne . - Combat - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughUsing the Tiny Music Box temporarily stuns Father Gascoigne .

Bosses are the most dangerous opponents that you encounter in Yharnam. Fighting them is often quite a challenge. However, there is a pattern to deal with each of the opponents and things are no different in the case of bosses. All of them, with no exceptions, have their patterns of behavior and attacks that they land during the fight. Learning them allows you to dodge them at the right moment and dealing damage, while the boss is regaining his strengths after the attack, or is getting prepared for another one. Learning those patterns is the most important thing, during boss fights. Also, keep in mind that boss battles have been divided into phases, in which the boss's behavior changes. Usually, the transition depends on how much health the boss still has left. The lower the health, the higher the odds that the boss enters another phase, where he uses new and more powerful attacks.

In many situations, you can try certain tricks with bosses - using the Numbing Mist while fighting Vicar Amelia, or the Tiny Music Box while fighting Father Gascoigne are just some of the options. In case of continuous failing, change your tactics, put on a different attire (e.g. Henryk's attire (it protects you against lightning and will do the job in the combat against Darkbeast Paarl) and pick appropriate runes. In critical situations, some of the (optional) bosses can be defeated later into the game, after you have progressed in your experience.

In Bloodborne, there are special runes that can aid you in certain situations. The runes play the role of gadgets and allow you to reinforce some of your attributes, attacks that you collect with the Blood Echoes or resistances against given types of attacks. You can find runes in several locations and each has a different effect.

After the fight with the Hemwick Witch, remember to collect the Rune Workshop tool, in the room at the end of the corridor, past the lit lamp. - Caryll Runes - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter the fight with the Hemwick Witch, remember to collect the Rune Workshop tool, in the room at the end of the corridor, past the lit lamp.

To use runes, you require the Rune Workshop Tool. You can obtain the items quite early into the game, after you reach Cathedral ward and open the gate to the man yard. You can then go to Hemwick Charner Lane and fight the boss - the Hemwick Witch. After you kill her, enter the room that you unlocked and collect the item from the skeleton.

After that, you can use runes in Hunter's Dream, in the chapel, at the table in the center (Memory Altar).

There are for available rune slots - Caryll Runes - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are for available rune slots. Three of them correspond to the runes that affect your character and his statistics, whereas the last rune corresponds to the oath (they are different in color and they are connected with the covenant you choose; in general, you cannot find them and you can only obtain them, by meeting certain requirements, regarding certain characters). Runes come in varieties - for example, a rune may have three different types of reinforcements, (e.g. to constitution by 10, 15 or 20 per cent). Some of the runes, especially the more potent ones, can be found in Chalice Dungeons.

You can change the active rune at any time, also the one connected to the covenant - however, to do his, you need to return to Hunter's Dream.

If you have any problems with the enemy that causes frenzy - use the Deep Sea, which provides you with more resistance to this type of attack.

While playing, you might have found an item called One third of Umbilical Cord. These items are among the items that you use often, such as Blood Vials or Quicksilver bullets. For this reason, you may view them as artifacts of little significance. However, you need these items, if you want to change the game ending and defeat the "truly last" boss- Moon Presence.

Pick the Decline option, during the last meeting with Gehrman. - Umbilical Cord fragments - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughPick the "Decline" option, during the last meeting with Gehrman.

You can find 4 umbilical cord fragments but, this does not affect the ending in any way - you only need to consume three of them, the fourth one changes nothing. Remember that you do that before the fight with Gehrman, whose offer to give him your life you need to refuse. This starts a fight with a single boss and, right after you win, a cutscene starts, after which you fight another one - Moon Presence.

Fragment #1

You find the first fragment at the Abandoned Old Workshop - Umbilical Cord fragments - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You find the first fragment at the Abandoned Old Workshop. To get there, you first need to defeat the Blood-starved Beast at the Old Yharnam,. Then, in the Odeon Chapel to the right of the lamp, there opens a new passage to the Healing Church Workshop. There, climb downstairs to the round room full of wooden platforms.

While standing on the main beam, you can jump down, to a location hidden below. You need to keep in mind that you lose some of your health points, as a result. You need to take two jumps, where the first one is more important. First of all, approach the edge on the left, right after you enter, right next to the ropes (the screenshot). Your goal is to jump over to the small platform a bit below (take a small step to aim the jump well). From there, you can jump over to the small platform right below this one (remember to use Blood Vials beforehand), a bigger one this time, and you will have reached a small door to the Abandoned Old Workshop.

You find the umbilical cord in the center of the chapel. - Umbilical Cord fragments - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou find the umbilical cord in the center of the chapel.

Right after you enter, walk into the chapel, nearly identical with the one you found in the Hunter's Dream. On the altar in the center of the room, you find One Third of Umbilical Cord.

Fragment #2

The door with Arianna behind it. - Umbilical Cord fragments - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe door with Arianna behind it.

To get another fragment, quite early into the game (starting with the moment of killing Vicar Amelia) you need to talk to courtesan Arianna and send her to the Odeon Chapel. You find her at the Cathedral ward. While in front of the gate to the main yard, climb down on the left. After you defeat the opponents, talk to the person behind the door on the left. As soon as you kill the three bosses, she asks you about safety.

Arianna, after she has the child. - Umbilical Cord fragments - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughArianna, after she has the "child".

Then, return to the Odeon Chapel after you defeat Micolash, Host of the Nightmare. You will not find Arianna at the chapel then. Therefore, go towards the Oedon Tomb. After you climb down the ladder, into the flooded room on the left, you find the courtesan sitting on the chair, with a strange-looking "child" next to her. Kill the little monster (you automatically kill Arianna as a result) and collect the One Third of Umbilical Cord.

Fragment #3

Iosefka in the clinic, after you have killed Rom, the Vacuous Spider. - Umbilical Cord fragments - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIosefka in the clinic, after you have killed Rom, the Vacuous Spider.

You find another fragment in Iosefka Clinic. You need to make it there by crossing the cave in Forbidden Woods. Then, after you cross Central Yharnam and enter the clinic through the window, go left. You find a closed door there. Behind the door, climb up the stairs. You find Iosefka lying on the bench, defenseless and neutral. After you kill her, you can pick up One Third of Umbilical Cord.

Note: Make sure that you go to the clinic after you kill Rom, the Vacuous Spider. If you do that earlier Iosefka will be hostile towards you and you will have to fight her. After you kill her, you lose the opportunity to obtain the umbilical cord fragment.

Fragment #4

After you kill Mergos Wet Nurse, you can pick up One Third of Umbilical Cord. - Umbilical Cord fragments - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter you kill Mergo's Wet Nurse, you can pick up One Third of Umbilical Cord.

If you have missed any of the abovementioned fragments, you still can get them. You receive one of them after you defeat the Mergo's Wet Nurse main boss.

Note: If you killed Iosefka before and failed to save Arianna/she was killed by Adella, you will be unable to get the rest of the cord fragments, up until you start New Game+.

The bar in the middle of the screen lets you know about the multiplier that increases damage dealt and received. - Beast Mode - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe bar in the middle of the screen lets you know about the multiplier that increases damage dealt and received.

The Beast mode is a special mode that resembles "berserk". In this mode, in the middle of the screen, a bar is displayed, which informs you of the current state. The more of the bar is filled up, the more damage you deal to the opponents. Each successive attack fills the bar so, the more you attack, the stronger each successive strike is. The bar keeps declining so, if you want to deal more damage, you need to keep attacking, which keeps the bar at a high level. To keep things balanced, the more damage you deal, the more damage you receive from the attacking opponents. This means that the price for increased attack strength is lower defense, decreased by the same value. By becoming more dangerous, you become more vulnerable to enemy attacks

This factor depends on the Insight points. The more of them you have, the weaker your bestiality is - the attack increase is lower, but also the drop in defense is lower. With lots Insight points, on the other hand, you will be able to increase the strength of your attack. Remember though that you will decrease your defense, at the same time.

The NPC in the Forbidden Woods will give you Beast Blood Lump after you kill each survivor at the Odeon Chapel. - Beast Mode - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe NPC in the Forbidden Woods will give you Beast Blood Lump after you kill each survivor at the Odeon Chapel.

In general, there are two ways in which to initiate the Beast Mode.:

1. The first one is to own the Beast Claw weapon. You can find it in Chalice Dungeons. For this, you will have to defeat Amygdala and obtain the Low Loran Chalice. After the dungeon is created and the first boss defeated, take the lift down and, before you light another lantern, in the middle of the corridor, turn into the vast network of rooms (across the door on the right).

Then, with your weapon equipped, you can transform ([L1]). Your character's hands turn into werewolf paws and you will enter the beast mode. The effect is permanent, until you un-equip the weapon or equip another one. Each attack with the paws fills the bestiality bar. This weapon is perfect for this mode, because it allows you to land very quick attacks.

2. If you do not have this weapon, entering the beast mode becomes possible after you have used a Beast Blood Lump. You can find them during your explorations, in various locations. Sometimes, you also receive them after you kill a werewolf. After you defeat Mergo's Wet Nurse, you can buy them for Insight from Messengers.

Note: If you have sent to Odeon Chapel, the mysterious man that you have met on the rooftop, he will start killing gradually the survivors at the Forbidden Woods. From him, you receive a Beast Blood Lump after each kill you make.

After you use a lump, the beast mode will last for around a minute. During this time, each attack fills the bestiality bar, just like in the case of the Beast Claw. In this respect, there is no difference: the more the bar is filled, the more damage you deal and the lower your resistance to damage. After you use a Beast Blood Lump, you can use any weapon. However, note the difficulty to fill the bar wit swift attacks - it is best to use several strong, preferably fully charged, attacks. Swift attacks, on the other hand, should be sufficient to maintain the level of the bar. After the time has expired, the mode deactivates automatically.

Each attack with the Beast Claw increases bestiality. - Beast Mode - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEach attack with the Beast Claw increases bestiality.

If you want to use this mode often, it will be necessary to get an appropriate weapon. Thanks to this, you will be able to load up attacks, without the necessity to own special items. Just remember to avoid the enemies' strong attacks, which may quickly end the beast mode, and you will be a real killing machine.

The tombstones for doing Chalice Dungeons. - Chalice Dungeons - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe tombstones for doing Chalice Dungeons.

In Hunter's Dream, opposite the graves, you can find 4 tombstones. They are used or generating Chalice Dungeons, i.e. randomly generated (to a large extent) locations with high difficulty level and various opponents, items to find and several new bosses. You can generate 4 dungeons at the same time, without the necessity to close a previously formed one.

To form a dungeon of a given type, you need, first of all, a chalice that allows you to perform the ritual. There are three types of dungeons:

- Pthumeru (you receive the first chalice after you have defeated the Blood-starved Beast)

- Loran (you receive the first chalice after you have defeated Amygdala)

- Hintertomb (you find the first chalice in the dungeons, created with the Central Pthumeru Chalice, at the second depth, in the chest. After you descend to that depth, in the corridor, tale the second door on the left. Then, in the middle, make your way to the drawbridge. On the ladder to the right, there is a switch that lowers the bridge, as well as a door to a large chamber. (note - there are lots of opponents inside) Clear the room and in the chest at the wall, you find the chalice).

- Isz (you receive the first chalice after you have defeated Ebrietas, daughter of the Cosmos)

Chalice Dungeons in a nutshell

Each level requires you to unlock the door, in the first place. - Chalice Dungeons - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEach level requires you to unlock the door, in the first place.

1. They are generated with the chalices that you find, with Blood Echoes, Ritual Blood and other materials.

2. They have their own difficulty levels, depending on the depth (1-5).

3. They have four Depths, where you can encounter various opponents and bosses.

4. Descending to a lower level requires opening the gate, by pulling the lever.

5. The Root Chalices always generate random dungeons, the rest always generate the same dungeons. "Sinister" , "Defiled" and "Cursed" provide you with a negative effect for the duration of the exploration (e.g. a decrease in health points by a half).

6. The materials required to generate dungeons of higher difficulty levels can be found in lower dungeons. Starting with the first level of the Pthumeru dungeon, you can get to higher and higher levels, by searching for the necessary materials and Ritual Blood. The latter has its level, which corresponds to the depth of the dungeon -e.g. you can find Ritual Blood (3) in dungeons of the depth of 2 and 3. You can buy the first Ritual Blood from Messengers.

7. In the dungeons, there are lots of rewards and items, as well as treasures hidden in secret chambers. The most valuable items are locked in chests.

8. You can do a dungeon created by someone else - for this, you require a special code (glyph). You can find them using the Makeshift Tomb or by searching them out on the Internet.

9. With root chalices, you can generate dungeons with the most valuable items in them. During the ritual, you can add various materials to them, which alter the interior of the dungeon and, e.g. make it open to an invasion, or strengthen the opponents.

10. The materials that you need can be found in dungeons. Search through chests, kill opponents visit various types of dungeons - some of them can only be found in, e.g. Loran.

The ones with the "Root Chalice" in their name always generate a different type of dungeons, with different opponents, bosses and items. The rest of the chalices generate the same dungeons each time they are used. Difficulty level of the individual Chalice Dungeons is not scaled to match your progress in the main storyline. Dungeons have their own difficulty levels, which depend on the tier of the chalice (1 - 5, easy to extremely hard).

Random dungeons have been divided into several different parts:

- Starting room - this is where you can light the lantern and get to a lower level, on the lift

- main arena - this is here that you find the lever for the door to the boss arena, there are many branches here, also up and down. The gate glowing in blue needs to be opened with the lever that you can, usually, close to it, surrounded by opponents. Also, you can find secret rooms with treasures here.

- the corridor leading up to the boss - the passage to the boss, sometimes, you can also find a side room with treasures here.

- arena - this is where you fight the boss,

- final room - if you have not got to the lowest level, you can take the corridor to where you light the lantern. Along your path, keep an eye out for door on the left or on the right.

In spite of their diversity, each one of the dungeons comprises the above elements.

What can be found in the Chalice Dungeons?

Nobody says there only is one boss... - Chalice Dungeons - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughNobody says there only is one boss...

- bosses that cannot be found anywhere else (or at least some of them) in the main storyline. Each dungeon has three depths with a different boss on each.

- special opponents (red halo). They are summoned by the mages around. Killing the mages kills the opponents automatically. They keep being summoned for as long as the mage is alive.

- several checkpoints lanterns identical with the ones that you find all around Yharnam,

- levers for doors to boss arenas and for doors to lower levels,

- traps, such as blades, projectiles from walls or crushing balls in narrow corridors,

- messengers from whom you can buy, just like in Hunter's Dream. Also, they can sell special items that cannot be found anywhere else.

Some items are dropped by specific opponents (e.g. Arcane Mist). - Chalice Dungeons - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughSome items are dropped by specific opponents (e.g. Arcane Mist).

- ritual materials. It is only here that you can get Ritual Blood of the tier higher than tier one. Apart from that, in the dungeons, there are many commonly found, and some of the rare, items that you need for crafting the highest tier dungeons,

- rewards that cannot be obtained anywhere else (e.g. better weapon types, strong runes or Blood Gems). Exploring Chalice Dungeons is often a good way of strengthening your character.

Cooperation

Remember to kill the opponents that summon red creatures. - Chalice Dungeons - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughRemember to kill the opponents that summon red creatures.

In Chalice Dungeons, you can cooperate with other players. For this to be possible, you need to meet several conditions:

- create, at least, one dungeon with the chalice that you would like to join. It is impossible to join the dungeon that you have not visited, at least, once..

- in dungeons, it is possible to join in cooperation and to invade the other hunters. It is only possible in Root Chalices and "Sinister".

- dungeons only save the host's progression. The summoned players disappear each time after the enemy boss is killed.

- you can share your dungeon with the other players, using a special code (glyph)that you receive after you generate the dungeon. Also, you can explore dungeons, with lots of treasures, which have been generated by other players.

- after you defeat the last boss in the dungeons, after you use the Hinterlands Chalice, you receive a Short Ritual Root Chalice. You can use it on the Makeshift Tomb to search out dungeons available for cooperation or invasion.

Pthumerian Queen

At the end of the Pthumerian Dungeons, you encounter a special boss, for the defeat of which you receive a special trophy. To reach the boss in the first place, you first need to cross several levels that need to be generated with the following chalices:

1. Pthumeru Chalice

2. Central Pthumeru Chalice

3. Low Pthumeru Chalice

4. defiled Chalice

5. Pthumeru Ihyll Chalice

Additionally, you may have to visit other dungeons to complete the required rituals in the first place (e.g. you need Bastard of Loran that you can find in the dungeon that you generate with the Ailing Loran Chalice).

The last boss is the final of the Pthumerian dungeon. - Chalice Dungeons - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe last boss is the final of the Pthumerian dungeon.

Before you start fighting with the Pthumerian Queen boss, you first need to obtain Antidotes. Her bloody attacks poison you, which is why a quick way to eliminate this effect will be useful. In the first phase, the Queen attacks with blood projectiles. After her health drops to around 2/3, she starts also using melee attacks. She can near you very quickly and attempt a thrust at you. Dodging this attack allows you to attack her from behind. As soon as her health drops to a half, the third phase starts, where the Queen stats summoning her doubles that are slightly different, through (e.g. they fire one orb of blood, instead of three). You can kill them in one blow. The more important attack is the one that the opponent starts using then - by placing her hand on the ground, she summons blood daggers from below the ground, which deal immense damage. At such a moment, dash up to the queen and attack. While doing that, remember one more thing - as soon as you hear a baby crying, dash away from the boss or you will be caught within a magic ring and you will be unable to move, for a moment. Also, poison daggers are good against the Queen - 4 hits poison her and this may make it easier to win the battle.

You encounter unique bosses only in Chalice Dungeons. - List of chalices - Chalice Dungeons - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou encounter unique bosses only in Chalice Dungeons.

You can also play Bloodborne online, where you can receive help from the other player5s, render such help yourself or invade worlds of the other hunters. Multiplayer is different from a classic one, in at least several places, which you need to know about, if you want to use it efficiently.

Insight

Insight is the only statistic present in the multiplayer mode - Multiplayer - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Insight is the only statistic present in the multiplayer mode. It represents your familiarity wit the world.

Insight is not connected with multiplayer only:

- the amount of Insight that you have affects the effectiveness of the Beast mode (the more Insight, the weaker the effect),

- the more Insight, the lower the resistance to berserk,

- the Insight limit is 99 points.

You see Amygdalas kin either after you have accumulated enough Insight, or after you kill Rom, the Vacuous Spider. - Multiplayer - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou see Amygdala's kin either after you have accumulated enough Insight, or after you kill Rom, the Vacuous Spider.

Additionally, you can note several things, after you have amassed enough Insight:

1 point - in Hunter's Dream the doll comes to life, and you can raise your level with Blood Echoes.

10 points - in Hunter's Dream, there appears a shop, where you can buy items for Insight points. If their amount drops below 10, the shop disappears and appears again, after 10 is reached again.

15 points - some of the opponents receive additional attacks.

40 points - opponents start resembling Amygdala and you can encounter them outside the Odeon Chapel and in the room, from which you enter Yahar'gul.

50 points - the tune in Hunter's Dream changes.

60 points - occasionally, you hear a baby cry.

You gain Insight automatically, with your progress into the game. It reflects your familiarity with the world so, you receive it for finding bosses and defeating them. Each time you enter a new location, encounter a special opponent or talk to some of the NPCs, your number of Insight point goes up. On the corpses, you can also find items, such as Madman's Knowledge and Great One's Wisdom, whose consuming provides you with one and two Insight points, respectively.

Multiplayer items

Watching ghosts of the dead players allows you to avoid making their mistakes - Multiplayer - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWatching ghosts of the dead players allows you to avoid making their mistakes

Apart from Insight points, you can use several items that have been designed for multiplayer only, and which allow you to summon other players, or to travel to their worlds.

Beckoning bell - you receive it after you gain 1 Insight point, from Messengers in Hunter's Dream. Use the bell only when you need help and you want someone to aid you in your world. Ringing the bell costs 1 Insight point.

Small Resonant Bell - you can buy it from Messengers after you have attained 10 Insight points in Hunter's Dream. You use this bell each time you want to help someone and travel to their world. Ringing the bell does not use up Insight.

Sinister Resonant Bell - you can buy it from the Messengers after you have attained 10 Insight points in Hunter's Dream. You use this bell whenever you want to invade another player's world and to fight them. Ringing the bell does not use up Insight.

Silencing Blank - you receive it after you obtain 1 Insight point, from Messengers I Hunter's Dream. After you use it, you end the multiplayer cooperation and return to your world, or send the other player to theirs. If you have found nobody yet, using the item allows you to end your search.

Notebook - you receive it from Messengers at the beginning of the game. It allows you to leave notes in various places. They can then be found and read by other players.

Conditions to make a connection

To be able to cooperate with someone, you need to meet several conditions:

- the distance between the player, who used the Beckoning bell, and the players who used the Small resonant bell (or the Sinister Resonant Bell in some cases) must be around 100 (in-game) meters. For this reason, you can most frequently connect by searching out players near lanterns and near entrances to boss arenas.

- the difference in levels cannot be higher than 10, both directions. Therefore, there is no option of teaming up a person at level 25 with a person at level 120.

- make sure that you have used the right bell. If it is active, every now and then, there will be rings appearing around your character and you will also receive an appropriate text message to let you know.

- there is a high-priority connection option. In game options ("Web") you can enter a password. If there are two players with identical passwords, they then meet the conditions for priority connection.

How to summon help?

Fighting a boss in a duo is a real pleasure. - Multiplayer - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughFighting a boss in a duo is a real pleasure.

To summon help, you need the Beckoning Bell that you receive after you have attained 1 Insight point. Ringing the bell uses up one point and you will be marked as a players that needs help. If cooperation conditions are met, you can expect that another player will appear in your world. You can explore a given arena together, up until either you (the host) or the summoned player (guest) die. Also, the cooperation is ended by the death of the boss of a given location, i.e. after the Silencing Blank is used (the summoned player returns to his world).

The summoned player appears as slightly weakened - he deals less damage, has less constitution and health points. This does not make the boss battle any more difficult (remember to use the bell before you enter the arena). The cooperation ends in the event of the host's death so, allow the other player do the majority of the work and attack after a dash. Surely, it would be very annoying for the summoned player, if you died right after you have summoned him.

To fight the boss, the host needs to cross the mist as the first, then the guest.

How to be summoned?

The guest attacks the boss and the host stays slightly behind. - Multiplayer - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe guest attacks the boss and the host stays slightly behind.

To render help, you need the Small Resonant Bell. It is free to sound it and it starts searching for the person that called for help. After conditions are met, you will travel to the summoner's world.

The main advantage of helping the other players is that you do not lose your Life echoes after you die. Therefore, you can easily fight in someone else's world, to keep the Echoes that you have obtained. In the world of another hunter, you cannot pick up other items. Also, remember that it is you, in the first place, who should bear the burden of the fight, to prevent exposing the host to any death threat.

How to invade the world of another hunter?

Remember to take a bow, before the fight. - Multiplayer - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughRemember to take a bow, before the fight.

Apart from rendering help, it is also possible to invade the other worlds. This is what you use the Sinister Resonant Bell for. After you ring it, you can travel to the player that wants to fight, but also, in some cases, to one that wants help. You can then attack without worry. At this moment, your world is also marked as ready to be invaded. So, it is possible that it will be invaded by another player, while "at home".

In some locations (e.g. Hemwick Charner Lane, Nightmare Frontier, Nightmare of Mensis) after the bell is rung, also the Beckoning Bell, you receive information about a woman that is ringing a bell. It is the opponent (priest/mage, identical as while fighting The One Reborn), who summons enemies to your world. This means that even if you want help, what you get is a player that wants to fight. Therefore, you can end up with a friend or a foe, or even both, at the same time. Finding and killing the ringing woman (usually, she is well hidden) makes your world impossible to be invaded.

There is an unwritten rule, in 1 vs. 1 battle, about not using any healing, because this unnecessarily makes the battle longer. If your opponent is using Blood Vials, you can cast Numbing Mist on him to make that impossible.

Covenants

In the game, there are three covenants. Two of them (Executioners and Vilebloods) are the opposing ones. If a member of either makes it into your world and you put on the rune that activates the other covenant, battle ensues. Even though the other player is here to help you. While in the third covenant Hunters of Hunters, as a priority, you will be joining the other players in invasions and killing the other hunters.

Regardless of the option that you picked, the ending of the game starts the game over. However, this is not a completely new start - there are some other rules, if you start the game again, as the same character. Although the game world itself is reset, you retain some of your progress and items. This advantage that you have from the very beginning is alleviated with a boost to the opponents, who now have more health, stronger attacks and generally higher resistance. This is especially discernible in the case of boss battles, who seem to be smarter and more aggressive. The hardships of the battle will be rewarded with the number of Blood Echoes that you receive after defeating them.

After the last battle, you automatically start New Game +. - New Game+ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter the last battle, you automatically start New Game +.

What is different?

- opponents deal more damage and have more health,

- you receive more Blood Echoes from killing opponents, the difference is more pronounced in the case of stronger opponents and bosses,

- bosses seem to be stronger, smarter and more aggressive, they now receive discernibly more health points,

- if you meet the requirements concerning the level of your character, a player that plays the game for the first time, may join your game; this is also true the other way around,

- all of the unlocked shortcuts and lanterns lit are now reset to their initial state, you start again at Iosefka Clinic,

- you lose key items, e.g. the key to the gate in Cathedral Ward,

- chests containing some if the item that you already have now contain different items, usually family death Blood,

- you lose all of the One Thirds Of Umbilical Cords that you have not consumed.

What is different?

- your experience level, you start the game at the same level at which you ended the previous game,

- quick items in your inventory (Blood Vials, Quicksilver bullets, etc.)

- Blood Echoes and Insight,

- the majority of your equipment, with items needed for weapon upgrades, Chalices, or gems,

- runes previously obtained and your level in the covenant,

- badges and the option to buy weapons that you have previously unlocked but not bought,

- owned weapons and clothes,

- the option to use Caryll Runes and blood gems, from the beginning of the game,

- Chalice Dungeons already generated and your progress in them.

Difficulty level in Chalice Dungeons is not that much higher because they have their own difficulty - New Game+ - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDifficulty level in Chalice Dungeons is not that much higher because they have their own difficulty

Starting the game over (NG+) allows you to make a quicker start, mainly thanks to the weapons that you own at the very beginning. Also, you can complete the missions that you missed earlier, or solve them in a different way. All this combined allows you to experience the beauty of Yharnam again, while retaining the items that you have earlier strived to obtain, and the progress that you have made in Chalice Dungeons.

With the chapel blazing, you need to make your final choice. - Endings - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWith the chapel blazing, you need to make your final choice.

After numerous hardships, it is finally the time to end. The fate of your character will finally be decided after you enter the Nightmare of Mensis and defeat Micolash, Host of the Nightmare and Mergo's Wet Nurse. Then, return to Hunter's Dream. There, you find the blazing chapel and Gehrman who is waiting for you. Take the service of the Messengers and go to meet the old hunter, whom you find on the vast glade, to the right of the chapel. It is on the last conversation that the ending depends on. If you meet the additional requirements, you get to unlock another game summary.

Ending #1 - Sacrifice your life

Talk to Gehrman and decide about the ending. - Endings - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughTalk to Gehrman and decide about the ending.

Talk to Gehrman and pick the option to sacrifice your life. This choice ends the game and is followed by a short cutscene. Your character will be decapitated to reborn in the place free of the beasts.

Ending #2 - Fight Gehrman

The refusal to defeat Gehrman. - Endings - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe refusal to defeat Gehrman.

You can simply refuse to grant Gehrman's request. This is followed by a battle, in which he takes on the role of the boss. In case of your failure, you can still take the services of the Messengers, or even keep exploring Yharnam. Only defeating the enemy, in the case of your failure to meet the additional condition, ends the game. Then, on the arena Moon Presence appears, whom you need to surrender to, to remain at the other side of the Hunter's Dream.

Ending #3 - Fight Gehrman + fight Moon Presence

Oh, good hunter... - Endings - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough"Oh, good hunter..."

This ending becomes available after you have met additional conditions - before you defeat Gehrman, you need to consume 3x One Third of Umbilical Cord. Then, refuse Gehrman and defeat him in battle. Right afterwards, the fight with Moon Presence starts. In the event of a failure, you can replenish your supplies, or even keep visiting various locations and raising your experience. Defeating that boss ends the game and a cutscene ensues, in which the last possible ending is shown. Fortunately, you will be take care of by the good, old doll.

In Bloodborne, there are a dozen-or-so new locations. In each, you can light several lanterns, which allow you to respawn in a given location. All of the lanterns, once lit, are available via the tombs in Hunter's Dream and they are used as fast travel landmarks. However, to light a lantern, you need to visit the location first. The above map presents all of the locations that you can visit and where you can light lanterns. To get to some of the locations, you first need to meet certain conditions (e.g. own the Tonsil Stone or Cainhurst Castle Beckoning), while the others become available after you kill certain opponents. Locations of bosses have been marked with a separate icon, just like the presence of hunters (not necessarily hostile ones).

Reading the notes will help you get some knowledge about controls and fighting. - Iosefkas Clinic - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughReading the notes will help you get some knowledge about controls and fighting.

When the game will begin walk through the only open door which you can see it in the left part of the room. Here you can read the notes left by the Messengers (they are focused mostly on the controls).

The first enemy will kill you pretty fast. - Iosefkas Clinic - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe first enemy will kill you pretty fast.

In the next room you will meet your first enemy. You don't even have to try and fight him since he will kill you instantly because you don't have any weapon.

Note: It is possible to avoid this death and reaching the first lantern that carries you over to the Hunter's Dream. However, you gain nothing this way, the effect will be the same as if you died.

Later on you may choose either the melee weapon or a firearm. You will also receive a Notepad. - Iosefkas Clinic - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughLater on you may choose either the melee weapon or a firearm. You will also receive a Notepad.

You will be transferred to the Hunter's Dream. It is a buffer place which allows you to perform several actions such as upgrading your weapons, trading, fast travelling and so on. While you are walking through this area you can read some notes which will reveal some information about control and fighting.

Your main goal, though, is to get a weapon. To do so you need to walk down through the stairs on the right side of the building. You will see the little skeletons called the Messengers. You will receive from them a weapon (you may choose between three melee weapons and two firearms) and the Notepad. When you will gather your supplies you may return to the game by using the Yharnam Headstone which you can find on the bottom of the stairs. Use it to travel to the place called 1st Floor Sickroom.

When you have a weapon you may stand against the first enemy. - Iosefkas Clinic - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen you have a weapon you may stand against the first enemy.

You will return to the room where you were killed by a beast before. You should notice few things. First of all fighting in this game is not so easy and every battle will require you to be focused. You can't just rely on one type of attack and smash a button in hope that it will help you defeat an enemy. Even though the beast is already weakened you need to watch out for its claw strikes.

Note: After you return from the Hunter's Dream, you can return to the stairs at the top of which, there is a locked door now. Talk to Iosefka and you will receive a Iosefka Blood Vial. You can use it to replenish health points that you lost in the battle.

Use the whole bunch of options. You may interrupt the enemy attacks in a right moment ([L2]) or dodge them ([wheel]), use your fast attacks ([R1]) or the strengthened ones ([R2]) however the second type of attacks requires you to channel your action and in result it makes you more vulnerable to damage. Don't forget about locking the camera on your enemy ([press the right analog stick]). Try to attack after your successful dodge. If you will take a hit you will see that your life bar will be reduced and your lost Hit Points will be marked with a white line. In this case you need to make a counterattack to "regain" a part of your health bar. If you will be to late you will be unable to heal in other way than by using some Blood Vials.

Dont forget about collecting the Blood Echoes. - Iosefkas Clinic - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDon't forget about collecting the Blood Echoes.

After the fight you should notice that somewhere around (in the place where you have died earlier on) will be a stain of blood highlighted with red color. Remember to collect these blood stains since they are the Blood Echoes left after your death. If you will be unable to collect them and you will die again - you will lose them permanently.

You will find various items next to the highlighted bodies. - Iosefkas Clinic - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou will find various items next to the highlighted bodies.

After you will defeat a beast you may loot its body to find some Blood Vials and collect another one in the passage leading to the next room. You should notice that you can find items only where are the highlighted bodies of your enemies and some humans as well. These corpses are in many places. Finally you can go outside. You will see a body in the middle of round square which you can loot to find few Quicksilver Bullets. Open the gate on your left.

Look around the place where youve started the game - to the right from the window entrance. - Iosefkas Clinic - after defeating Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughLook around the place where you've started the game - to the right from the window entrance.

You can return to the Clinic after defeating Vicar Amelia (you will gain access to the Forbidden Woods, from where you will head to Central Yharnam and eventually to the Clinic). After going in through the window, turn left and you will reach the place where the game has begun (a single enemy, Cainhurst Summons).

You will find a chest in the room at the end of the corridor. - Iosefkas Clinic - after defeating Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou will find a chest in the room at the end of the corridor.

In a room at the end of the corridor, to the left from the window through which you go in the first time, you will find a chest with a Communion Rune. When leaving this place, you can turn left and open the door. You will be at the bottom of a flight of stairs (you will also hear a warning from somebody upstairs).

You can avoid some of the attacks by standing behind the table, but you also risk getting stuck when dodging. - Iosefkas Clinic - after defeating Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou can avoid some of the attacks by standing behind the table, but you also risk getting stuck when dodging.

When going up the stairs, you will meet the person that warned you. The fight that awaits you is going to be difficult, but you can make it easier by focusing on avoiding one special attack that the enemy always signals. Your opponent will throw snakes from her hand, but if you dodge this attack, she will be stunned for a moment, leaving her body vulnerable to your attacks. As for the whip and the gun attacks - you can avoid them by standing behind the table or chair (note - being hit by the whip several times in a row takes you a lot of HP). However, when performing dodges, be careful not to get stuck somewhere, because it is difficult to control the hero in this small room. It is better to go outside and fight near the stairs, where there is slightly more space. For winning the battle, you will receive 3200 Blood Echoes and Oden Writhe Rune.

If you want to obtain One third of Umbilical Cord, do not attack Iosefka - come back here after the fight with Rom, the Vacuous Spider.

Avoiding an attack will allow you to hit the stunned enemy. - Iosefkas Clinic - after defeating Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAvoiding an attack will allow you to hit the stunned enemy.

Note: Your opponent can heal herself, just like you, so don't be surprised when her HP starts rising. Moreover, if you get hit by the missile that she shoots at you as you enter the room, you can forget about winning the battle - it prevents you from using Blood Vials.

Iosefka, after the fight with Rom, the Vacuous Spider, can be found in the same location. As you climb up the stairs, you receive no warning and, after you enter the room, you note Iosefka lying on the bench. She is neither talkative, no dangerous. Kill her to receive One third of Umbilical Cord.

The enemies with torches may painfully set your her on fire. - Central Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe enemies with torches may painfully set your her on fire.

Once outside you can turn towards a small balcony ahead of you. You will find a body with Blood Vials. Turn right and go higher. You will see there the first of many local enemies who use axes and torches. Watch out for his attacks and attack him right after your successful dodges. Remember that if you will stand to close to him he may set you on fire what will result with huge damage taken.

On the other side of the balcony you will find next two enemies who will stand up when you will get closer. Remember to lock the camera on one of them and try to kill him even before he will notice you by getting close to the overturned wagon. In the corner you will find a Molotov Cocktail.

In the middle of the square you will find another Blood Vial and you will be able to use a device which will make the ladder fall out. Climb on it and go to the lamp and light it up what will let you travel to the Hunter's Dream and will become your after-death respawn point.

If you will die you will reborn next to the lamp which you have lighten up. - Central Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you will die you will reborn next to the lamp which you have lighten up.

Now you can teleport to the Hunter's Dream to, for example, buy some cloths which will provide you a better defense.

Try to throw at them a cocktail from far away since they will almost surely attack you both at the same time. Try to focus only one of them first. If you will destroy it fast enough this battle will become much easier. The beasts are very fast and if you will be hit by his claws you will instantly lose some Hit Points. You can try to keep them on distance by spreading out your weapon ([L1]). In the case of the Hunter's Axe, you will not be able to use your pistol this way and striking will take some time to succeed.

Note: Due to the difficulty level, you can simply get around those opponents, dash quickly ahead and, behind the corner on the left, climb the stairs into the small house.

You should also watch out for its kicks (which initiates when the pig slightly rises) and the poisonous breathe which will gradually damage you over the few seconds. The pig will drop the Blood Vials and you will be able to enter the tunnel. Here you can find the Saw Hunter Badge (thanks to this, you can buy all the weapons offered by the Messengers) and a Coldblood Dew.

In the next square you will see two bigger enemies with melee weapons. One of them is turned back towards you and you will see him right next to you after you will get there and the other one is wandering quite few steps away on the right. Give an attention of the first enemy and try to fight right next to the stairs. When you will defeat him (watch out for the attack series) get closer to the second one and attack him with your strongest attack as soon as you can. In the end of the square, right behind the wagon, you will find a Monocular. Now you may go forward and on your way deal with a group of birds. A corpse under a tree contains a Blood Stone Shard).

The perfect moment to use your full-charged attack will happen when the enemy will slowly raise his orb. - Cathedral Ward - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe perfect moment to use your full-charged attack will happen when the enemy will slowly raise his orb.

When you will enter the next small square you will also find another big enemy. Unlike the previous one he uses an orb instead of an axe although he uses it almost in the same way. The most damage will deal his attack from above the head since it will stick your character into the ground. When will you dodge this attack you will have a great opportunity to counter-attack since your enemy needs to take some time to raise his orb and attack you again. Remember to watch out for his big attack range and to attack him when he charges his strike. After the fight you may loot a corpse nearby a barrier to receive five Blood Stone Shards. Behind the small building turn left and then go downstairs. Pass the corridor filled with amphoras and open a chest which contains a Tempering Blood Stone.

To open the gate you need an emblem which you can buy for 10000 Blood Echoes or you can open it at the other side, after you meet several more conditions. - Cathedral Ward - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughTo open the gate you need an emblem which you can buy for 10000 Blood Echoes or you can open it at the other side, after you meet several more conditions.

Finish exploring this area and return to the big stairs. On the top of them you will see the closed main gate. Better remember where it is. If you have visited every area you have access to you may respawn your enemies by returning to the Hunter's Dream and then return to the Cathedral Ward. Your goal is to gather 10000 Blood Echoes. You will get more Echoes for bigger enemies so the most beneficial is to focus on hunting those. When you will collect the amount you need you may return to the Hunter's Dream and then go to the Messenger. Spend 10000 Echoes to buy the Hunter Chief Emblem. It is a key which will open the gate to the Cathedral Ward.

Note: Hunter Leader Medallion - which is also a key - can be bought only if you have defeated Cleric Beast.

The balcony that you can enter after using the elevator - if you jump down from this place, you can open all the gates. - Cathedral Ward - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe balcony that you can enter after using the elevator - if you jump down from this place, you can open all the gates.

Note2: As a matter of fact, you do not need to open the gate at this side and spend your Blood Echoes. This is the easiest and fastest way, but there is an option to open the gate at the other side. To do that, you need to visit Old Yharnam, where you need to defeat Blood Starved Beast. Then, in the Oedon Chapel door on the right opens - this way, you get to Healing Church Workshop. While there, jump down to the very bottom, go left at the intersection (after you exit the building) and take the lift to Cathedral ward. From the balcony that you get to, climb lower and open the nerby gate and then, two more, including the one that leads to the main yard.

Opened door at the Oedon Chapel - the way to Healing Church Workshop

The door that opened after the boss battle. - Cathedral Ward - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe door that opened after the boss battle.

After the fight with Blood Starved Beast in Oedon Chapel, there opens a door on the right side of the room. Walk inside and take the lift up.

 

The view outside the window, right after you jump out of the lift; On the left, there is a passage to the upper part of the Oedon Chapel. - Cathedral Ward - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe view outside the window, right after you jump out of the lift; On the left, there is a passage to the upper part of the Oedon Chapel.

During the ride on the lift, you can note a small window in the wall (turn back after you walk onto the platform). At the right moment (it is easier to do that, while going up) you can jump out of the window. On the balcony, turn left and take the narrow passage between buildings. You will get to the upper part of the Oedon Chapel. Loot the chest for the rune Formless Oedon. In the corpse, there is an item for Messengers (which changes their looks) - Messenger Urn Festival. Jump down into the chapel, and go to the lift again.

 

In the next room (the screenshot), watch your step right past the passage - Cathedral Ward - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the next room (the screenshot), watch your step right past the passage. In the room, there is a guard with a machine gun. To prevent being killed, jump into the room quickly, get around the opponent and kill him swiftly (low resistance). In the chest, you find rune Communion - it increases your maximum capacity of Blood Vials.

In front of the gate turn left. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn front of the gate turn left.

When you will open the gate you may go to the central square. Before you will do that you should at first walk around it and unlock a patch which you may use as a shortcut later on. To do so you need to turn right after you will pass the first gate (even before you will get to the central square). You will find a body containing a Thick Coldblood. Now go in an opposite direction, for now on passing a round plaza.

Dont approach this enemy when he sprays out the flames. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDon't approach this enemy when he sprays out the flames.

Right behind the wagon on the opposing site you will be attacked by an enemy which you shall not underestimate. He possesses a "flamethrower" and in result one of his attacks allows him to spray fire towards you. If you will be catch by his flames or even worse stay in it for a moment you will instantly lose a lot of Hit Points. Better just patiently wait with your attack until the flame will extinguish or try to dodge the flame and interrupt his attack. Behind a tree you will find another Thick Coldblood. Now go ahead of you and pass a small gate where you will find another enemy. Go down and collect the Poison Knifes from a corpse nearby.

When you will get downstairs better prepare for a fight. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen you will get downstairs better prepare for a fight.

Downstairs (in the windows on the left, there are two NPCs that you can tell about the safe place- side quest) you will face a patrol of two enemies. If you can't not find them right next to the stairs, they will be not so far away deeper in the corridor. Especially watch out for the one who attacks from a closer range since he may initiate a powerful attack series. In the further part of the alley you will be attacked by another two common enemies however you still need to be careful since they will raise behind your back. In the niche on your left you will find few parts of Black Church attire (the garb, the hat, the trousers) and the Surgical Long Gloves. In the end, behind the fog, right after the stairs you will also find some more Poison Knifes.

From the place shown on the screenshot above you will be noticed from above by few enemies - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

From the place shown on the screenshot above you will be noticed from above by few enemies. Try to lure few of them out and defeat them on the lower level. After that enter the higher level and take care of the rest of the enemies. Watch out for the nailing attack of the biggest of them and for the bullets firing towards you. After the fight remember to collect the Blood Vials and the Thick Coldblood. From the small use a ladder to get higher and while doing that you may also read a note on the balcony on your right. Finally jump down on the roof below.

You will appear in a place shown on the screenshot above - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You will appear in a place shown on the screenshot above. Before you will jump down collect the Quicksilver Bullets from a corpse. Look for your next opponents and the gate, which shall be your main target since left from it is a special device which will unlock for you a passage for the central square which you have ignored before.

Right after jumping down you will be attacked by a wild dog who is hidden close to a house. His body will drop a Thick Coldblood. After that go toward the gate. If you have not find a patrol of two enemies yet better open the gate fast however if you did you may just take care of enemies around. Watch out for their attacks which are both fast and strong at the same time. Your last step should be opening the gate.

Now you can choose one of two paths. Go toward the stairs or turn right to stay down. The best choice is to turn right since it will allow you to open a new gate.

Before stairs turn right

While going outside you really should pick the Numbing Mist. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhile going outside you really should pick the Numbing Mist.

If you will turn right you will find a small square. On your right you may see a locked gate and a device right next to it. If you will open the gate it will allow you to use the shortcut (an exit ahead of the respawn point in the Oedon's Tomb). After all you may use the ladder to get up where you will find a body with a Numbing Mist which will help you a lot during a battle with the next boss which is Vicar Amelia). Jump down toward right and land on the roofs where you will find a Black Messenger Black Hat. Now you may return to the stairs.

You may get to the main stairs from the side as well what will help you to strike one of the enemies from behind. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou may get to the main stairs from the side as well what will help you to strike one of the enemies from behind.

Notice: On a square with an opening device there is also a path leading towards the main stars (a small stairs behind a tree) where you will also find a Thick Coldblood. It will also reward you with a possibility to sneak behind the enemy with a scythe and to eliminate him while he is isolated. This path will also allow you to avoid some other enemies if you will run fast enough. You will also pass a corpse containing six Blood Vials.

Stairs

On the main stairs you need to watch out for three enemies. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughOn the main stairs you need to watch out for three enemies.

Now look toward the big stairs. Right from theme there is a corpse in a corner containing a Thick Coldblood. You will notice a huge enemy with an axe and a smaller one with a scythe and also the third one with a firearm. This battle will be quite a challenge. At first try to eliminate the enemy with a scythe to prevent you from his attacks when you will engage the giant. There is a big chance that the enemy with a gun will not go toward you so you should try to keep the battle on the top of the bottom of the stairs. Only after you will deal with the axe-fighter (remember to avoid entering the round plaza since there is two more giants to kill) go up the stairs. The shooter is also very dangerous. He shots few quick bullets one after another in a short sequence so you should make a fast dodge immediately after you will see a weapon turned towards you.

The final group of enemies guards the entrance to the building with the boss. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe final group of enemies guards the entrance to the building with the boss.

When you will get to the top of the stairs (on your way you may collect the six Blood Vials from the corpse on your right if you haven't done it before) you will meet two last enemies who guard the entrance to the next boss (the bar that fills up after they deal damage leads to frenzy; once it is full, it ends in death in majority of cases). They are very difficult to defeat since they both have long range and their weapons deal a lot of damage. The most dangerous attacks are the knock up into the air and the thrust. The good solution will be using the items which you have gathered before such as Molotov Cocktail. When you will defeat these enemies you may open the gate and enter the building in which you will find the boss named Vicar Amelia waiting for you in the main hall.

Go to the alter and observe the item there to unlock the password necessary to enter the Forbidden Woods. - Cathedral Ward - Central Square - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughGo to the alter and observe the item there to unlock the password necessary to enter the Forbidden Woods.

After the fight (get closer to the item on the alter) and replenishing your supplies you may visit the areas located in the right part of the Grand Cathedral and after that you may go to the Forbidden Woods or the Hemwick Charnel Lane. From the Cathedral Ward you may get to three different areas and you may read about them in the following chapter.

Note: Defeating Vicar Amelia drives the storyline forward and changes the time of the day. It is a good idea to take care of the unfinished side quests (e.g. let people know about the safe place in the chapel or in the clinic), because some of them will become unavailable.

In front of the Grand Cathedral turn right - a path to the Lecture Hall

An example of the door where you obtain Tonsil Stone - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAn example of the door where you obtain Tonsil Stone

Note: To prevent having to backtrack, before visiting the Grand Cathedral, go down towards the locked door to the Forbidden Woods. Provide the password that opens the door. Only after that can you obtain the Tonsil Stone. You can get it in every house with a red lantern in front of the door.

Note2: In some cases, you can receive "no response". This is due to the occupant having been sent to the clinic or the chapel, in search of a safe place. In such cases, try elsewhere.

At the bottom you will face a difficult battle. Better try to deal with the enemies one after another. - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAt the bottom you will face a difficult battle. Better try to deal with the enemies one after another.

When you are in front of the building in which you have fought with Vicar Amelia you need to turn right in front of the last stairs. In the end of the road (you may find Frenzied Coldblood on the roof) or go downstairs. Your first try should begin with the stairs since on the bottom there is two almost immortal enemies (hunters) which you may consider mini-bosses. If you don't want to fight both of them at the same time (since it is almost impossible to win with them like that) you should take them down one at a time.

The first enemy has a weapon which deals a bonus electrical damage... - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe first enemy has a weapon which deals a bonus electrical damage...

To accomplish that you should go through the stairs and bait the first enemy who has a weapon which deals a bonus electrical damage. This battle is very difficult and it is still easier than the duel with the second enemy. Try to keep the same strategy which you used during the battle with Father Gascoigne - make a lot of dodges and watch out for the full charged attack of your enemy. Attack him right after your successful dodges. If this fight is too difficult for you try to collect a big supply of Blood Vials to heal yourself during the fight. For the victory you will receive a Bolt Paper and 3400 Blood Echoes. This enemy will disappear just as the bosses.

... and the second one uses a basic melee weapon although he often uses a frustrating firearm. - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough... and the second one uses a basic melee weapon although he often uses a frustrating firearm.

The second gentleman requires a different strategy. First of all you need to get an advantage by not approaching him from the stairs but instead jumping from the top on a roof below and from this place jumping on the ground. Now you can slowly get to the enemy and try to take him down by your strongest, fully charged attack. It will make him falter and will allow you to attack him again with your basic attack. It will help you damage him well even before the battle will begin. The fight itself is very difficult since this enemy has an access to a firearm which deals not a lot of damage if you will keep a long distance however it interrupts all the attempts of making a dodge or getting close enough to strike with a melee weapon. Because of that try to engage him only when he will try to recharge his weapon and will not be able to fire with it. You should also try to keep your distance and use only fast attacks since he may easily dodge the charged attacks. These tips will allow you to win although the entire fight will take quite some time. If you will use a ranged weapon and hide from his own bullets behind a tree or a well or even the Molotov Cocktails it will surely help you greatly. Killing this hunter will reward you with 3420 Blood Echoes and ten Quicksilver Bullets.

If you will run fast enough you may avoid the local enemies and (if you want) kill them of later on one at a time. - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you will run fast enough you may avoid the local enemies and (if you want) kill them of later on one at a time.

If you will keep going downstairs you will get to the tunnel where on the other side you will see an enemy with a chopper and the second enemy will fire at you from above. Few steps later you will meet another guy with a chopper. A good way to deal with this bunch will be avoiding the first two and get to the building seen in front of you (the enemies will not enter this place and you will find a Lead Elixir). Later on when these enemies will move away from the building you may take care of the enemy with a chopper and then with the second one. It will allow you to avoid fighting two enemies at the same time and will keep you in a spot safe from the sniper.

Inside the building you will find a big hall - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Inside the building you will find a big hall. If you have the Tonsil Stone you may get closer to the door and enter the portal shown on the screenshot above (it moves along the door). Only if you have the Stone you will be moved to the Lecture Hall (if you don't have the Stone, entering the portal will kill you instantly).

Note: In the same location, after you defeat Rom, the Vacuous Spider, a door to Yahar'gul, the Unseen Village will open.

In front of the Grand Cathedral turn left - a path to the Hemwick Charnel Lane

When you will be in front of the Grand Cathedral choose the path on the left. Following this path you will get a Bloodshot Eyeball (from the first corpse you will pass by) and the Brave Hunter Badge (from the second one). Pass the tunnel and get to the clearing.

Note: The witches mentioned here appear after you have defeated Vicar Amelia. If you visit the Hemwick Charner earlier, this will be easier because there will not be as many opponents here.

The witches will appear in few places. - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe witches will appear in few places.

This place is filled with the three kind of enemies. The main kinds are the gentlemen with the firearms, the wild beasts and the witches from the other dimension which you will recognize by the red sparkles which will appear when they will materialize. At first try to fight with one of the witches which will appear when you will get close to a campfire on your right and then attack the second one which will appear few steps further. Try to methodically clean this entire area by taking down the isolated shooters and their dogs. The corpses around will contain the Pebbles and the corpse hidden behind the rock in the right part of this area will give you the Twin Blood Stone Shards.

In the end go towards the campfire from the side shown on the screenshot above - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the end go towards the campfire from the side shown on the screenshot above. The open attack may easily lead to your death since all the enemies nearby will fire at you at the same time. If you want to try that move anyway you need to act fast and kill the two enemies on your left instantly. However the best way will be to use a Molotov Cocktail which will take almost all of the enemy Hit Points and you may easily just shoot them down. This way you may eliminate the two enemies on the left of the campfire and you may go to the campfire much safer. The bodies nearby will contain the Bone Marrow Ash and two Thick Coldbloods.

In the end of the road you will find the third witch. Few steps later you will get an access to the new location. - Cathedral Ward - after the fight with Vicar Amelia - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn the end of the road you will find the third witch. Few steps later you will get an access to the new location.

Go deeper into the forest and take down the shooter nearby as well as the two wild dogs and the witch which will appear in front of the gate. Behind this gate you will get to the new location called Hemwick Charnel Lane where you may activate the respawn point by lightning up the lamp.

Straight to the bottom

If you want to climb down you should beware of falling to the very bottom of the area. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you want to climb down you should beware of falling to the very bottom of the area.

You will get to the Old Yharnam from the Cathedral Ward. At first you should choose the path ahead of you which is behind the burning cross. Your destination is the bottom of this area where you can get by jumping from roof to roof. During your travel you may gather Blood Stone Shard and if you will kill the running away creature you will also receive a Twin Blood Stone Shards. On the bottom of the area you will be attacked by two hooded characters. In a small niche in the left side you will find the Hunter's Torch. After defeating them you may jump down from the edge.

In the next part you will unlock the shortcut (the grilles in the left part). - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn the next part you will unlock the shortcut (the grilles in the left part).

You will not find anything else what would be interesting here (although in the next part you will unlock the shortcut here) so you may pass the building and climb up the ladder to the top where you will find a Thick Coldblood. Now you may head to the main part of the Old Yharnam.

Turn left, pass the bridge

You will be attacked right behind the bridge. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou will be attacked right behind the bridge.

From the place where you will enter this location (at the very top) go to the barrier on your left where you will find a corpse with six Blood Vials. Now you can pass the bridge where on a small square you will be attacked by two fast although at the same time quite weak enemies. On your left you will find a building behind which you may find a single hooded enemy and a body with a Thick Coldblood.

You may run away from the firing or hide yourself behind the sculpture. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou may run away from the firing or hide yourself behind the sculpture.

Go down to another square. You will be attacked there by four minor enemies and two hooded characters. When you will go even lower a mysterious hunter will give you a warning and right after that you will be under fire. You need to instantly hide behind the firing since if you will be shot by a series of bullet you will instantly die. You may return to the stairs where you will be out of the bullet's range or hide behind the sculpture.

There are short breaks during the shooting - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are short breaks during the shooting. Go to the right edge and jump down. Use the stairs to go to a place shown on the screenshot above. There is a ladder leading to the bottom of the area. Right now hide behind the wall and go deeper into the room where you will find an isolated enemy and corpses with Antidotes and one corpse on the balcony with a Blood Stone Shard. Instead of climbing down and taking the risk of being shot you may slightly walk around the danger zone. To do so you need to leave the room and in the end turn right.

On your way you will pass a few rooms with some enemies inside. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughOn your way you will pass a few rooms with some enemies inside.

In the next room you will meet few enemies although you should especially watch out for the bullets from the outside and the exploding dishes. After taking care of them you may pass the bridge and behind a building turn left into the corner where you will see four birds and a Blood Stone Shard.

Here, right behind the entrance to the next hall, you will see how a hooded enemy will run out from the room on your right. Two minor enemies will attack you deeper inside the building. Watch out to not show yourself too much next to the open entrance or you will be shot. After eliminating the bodies you may collect some Antidotes from the corpses next to the door and get out of here still watching out for the firing. Once outside you still have to defeat few minor enemies although better keep fighting while standing next to the wall of a building ahead of you to stay out of the shooting range.

The hidden chamber

Regardless of whether you enter the square straight away via the ladder, or by walking around it on the left side, it is a good idea to explore this location - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether you enter the square straight away via the ladder, or by walking around it on the left side, it is a good idea to explore this location. To the right of the ladder, by the statue (crows are nearby) you can jump down (the screenshot), first onto the balcony and then onto the stairs below. Once there, enter the dark building.

Before you open the chest, kill the opponents to prevent being surprised from behind. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBefore you open the chest, kill the opponents to prevent being surprised from behind.

Inside, clear the rooms one-by-one, kill several hooded opponents (watch out for the poisoning) and several smaller opponents. On the corpse to the left, you will find 6x Blood Vial; in the chest, there is Tempering Blood Gem.

On the corpse upstairs, you will find an interesting set - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughOn the corpse upstairs, you will find an interesting set

Finally, climb upstairs. Along your path, to the right, behind the coffins, there is a corpse and on it, a weapon - Rifle Spear. At the very top, read the note and collect the Charred attire, gloves and Hunter's Pants from the body on the chair (they ensure quite a protection against fire). Your hunter will take an automatic bow and you can now exit the room - you will exit at the other side of the square.

After all you may pass the bridge to get to the place shown on the screenshot above - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After all you may pass the bridge to get to the place shown on the screenshot above. From here you may go up through the ladder on your left or use the wooden entrance to the big chamber by the broken window.

Exiting the ladder - Fight against Djura

At the top, you are going to fight hunter Djura. However, you can avoid that. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAt the top, you are going to fight hunter Djura. However, you can avoid that.

When you will use the ladder and then the second one to get on the top of the building you will find the hunter which was so desperate to fire at you until now. To defeat him you must focus on dodging his shooting since his firearm deals you the most damage especially if you will get close enough to him. You may also try to outsmart him by forcing him to step back a few times by a series of attack and push him out of this little area although you need to watch out to don't fall by yourself. Defeating him will permanently clear this area from the sniper's shooting and you will receive 875 Blood Echoes and Powder Keg Hunter Badge.

Note: If Djura falls down, you will be unable to pick up the badge dropped by him. To do that, you need to load this location again, climb the ladder and find the item next to the weapon that the hunter fired.

Note2: After defeating the shooting hunter you should return to the square which you have ignored earlier on (the area below the place in which you have been under fire). You will find here few enemies among which the strongest one will be a weaker version of a hunter (who will permanently vanish once defeated although you need to watch out for his series of attacks and the close-range firearm). On the bottom, under the balcony, on the left side from the ladder, you will also find two enemies and a Coldblood Dew.

Avoiding the fight with Djura

You do not necessarily need to fight Djura. To talk to him, during your initial stay in Old Yharnam, do not attack him (do not climb up the ladder), and leave the other hunter alone as well. Instead, deal with the Blood Starved Beast. Then, let yourself be killed by one of the opponents with a bag on his back - you will then end up in the Underground Jail in Yahar'gul, The Unseen Village. There, find the location where you can fight Darkbeast Paarl - there is no need to kill it, you only need to visit the boss.

A conversation with the neutral Djura, after several conditions have been met. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughA conversation with the neutral Djura, after several conditions have been met.

Then, get back to the location Church of the Good Chalice. Return to Djura from behind, thanks to which he does not spot you and does not start shooting. Climb up the ladder - instead of attacking you, the hunter stands in the center and it will now be possible to talk to him. For Djura to remain neutral, it is necessary that you pick the "Spare the Beasts of the Old Yharnam". You will then receive the Powder Keg Hunter Badge (if you already have one, you will also receive Bold Hunter Mark) and a gesture Brush Off Dust. Djura will not fire at you anymore if you do not attack anyone within his sight (the opponents in the front of the tower will attack you anyway).

Djura becomes hostile (permanently) when:

- you attack the hunter,

- during the conversation, you pick the "Hunt the Beasts of the Old Yharnam" dialogue option,

- you agree to spare the beasts, but you attack the opponents in front of the tower (this does not go for crows).

You may get to the main hall from upstairs however better watch out since it is easy to fall and break your neck. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou may get to the main hall from upstairs however better watch out since it is easy to fall and break your neck.

Now go to the very bottom or use the first ladder and then jump to the higher part of the chapel where you will find Madman's Knowledge if you will carefully walk over the bars. Jump down to appear in an area filled with enemies. The better way will be to quickly run through the stairs and eliminate the enemies in the entrance since they cannot surround you there. On your way to the bottom you should watch the platforms carefully since you may find there corpses with Molotov Cocktails, a Thick Coldblood and on the very bottom in a niche a Madman's Knowledge).

Note: By cutting the rope at the very top, you can clear the area below a little - the demon hanging below bursts in fire and kills several opponents.

Along your path, you may have some difficulty getting onto one of the platforms. For this to be possible, you need to run up, by sprinting, and press [circle] to jump. The jump needs to be perfectly aimed at the edge of the planks - difficult but possible. For this, you will be rewarded with the item that you find on the corpse - Sullied Bandage.

Entrance to the chapel

A hooded enemy will jump on you from above. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughA hooded enemy will jump on you from above.

You can get to the alter also with a different path. When you will be in front of the ladder which may get you to the sniping hunter you may turn right and go through the broken window to the room in which you will find two hooded enemies although you should watch out since right after your entrance you will be see how the third enemy jumps on you from above. You can easily deal with them all by fighting with one at a time. A corpse in the of the road contains an Antidote. Now you can go below.

Even on the stairs you will be attacked by a group of enemies. - Old Yharnam - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEven on the stairs you will be attacked by a group of enemies.

When you will be on the stairs you should prepare yourself for a small storm. On your way turn towards right to a small balcony and enter this place as soon as you can. A hooded enemy is hidden behind the door. If you will wait he will jump on you and poison you what will deal you damage over time. Additionally you will be attacked by a few other hooded and minor enemies.

The opponent gets stuck In the passageway, which makes it easier for you to deal damage. - Forbidden Woods - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe opponent gets stuck In the passageway, which makes it easier for you to deal damage.

Note2: As a matter of fact, he is not who he seems to be. You can tell him about the safe place but, at Iosefka Clinic, the Beggar turns into a monster, whereas in the Oedon Chapel, he will be murdering the other survivors (for this, you will be receiving Beast Blood Pellets). The reason for that is the actual form of the beggar - he is a huge monster, a miniature version of Darkbeast Paarl. To see that for yourself, attack him several times on the rooftop and you will witness his transformation.

Fighting this monster in normal conditions is very difficult so, it is a good idea to use a ruse. First of all, the opponent is vulnerable to poisoning - two Poisoned daggers should result in his gradual health loss, by around 1/3 of the initial value. The other issue is avoiding his attacks. Take advantage of the beast's size and hide in the corridor that you took to climb the roof. The opponent may attack you there, but much fewer attacks will actually deal damage to you. To sum up: Use poison and hide in the passage, where you can extend your weapon and attack the opponent stuck in the passage. For defeating him, you will receive quite a few Blood Echoes, and a strong rune Beast.

If you search this area well, you can find some Shining Coins, a lot of Twin Blood Stone Shards and Madman's Knowledge. After you explore the forest, follow the path to the other part of it, where you will see an enemy standing on the right, near a tree.

 

A bit further, where you can turn right, make that turn, towards the enemy that you can see in the screen above - Forbidden Woods - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A bit further, where you can turn right, make that turn, towards the enemy that you can see in the screen above. Get a longer weapon and kill it as fast as you can, as it can use a very powerful attack, also with poisoning effect. On the hill, you will find Thick Coldblood and Twin Blood Stone Shards. The most interesting item is hiding behind the large tombstone/altar - near the body, you can see Murky Deep Sea rune, which increases your resistance to poisoning. Lastly, go back on the track and head down the path.

Along your path, you encounter scores of opponents - Forbidden Woods - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Along your path, you encounter scores of opponents. Before you head along the main path by the big cluster of snakes (including a bigger one), you should take a left turn. Approach the escarpment shown in the screenshot. From here, you can jump over to the other side. Remember to run up (sprint) and to take the jump only when you are on the edge of the escarpment. If you do that, you can collect a Graveguard Mask from the corpse. After you jump down to the escarpment to the right, you can collect another item for your set - Graveguard Garb, Manchettes and Kilt.

Note: If you fall down, do not worry about that. You can use the situation to your advantage and unlock a passage. For this, run ahead, ignore the opponents and head for the cave exit. There, across a small swamp, proceed ahead and then take the path upwards (watch out for the opponent hiding behind the tree). Eventually, you unlock a lift.

 

Down the path, you will find an enemy and a rune (you can unlock the gate later). - Forbidden Woods - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDown the path, you will find an enemy and a rune (you can unlock the gate later).

At the very bottom, it is good to locate the niche that you can see in the screen above. If you search the bodies, you will find 3 Twin Blood Stone Shards and Deep Sea Rune. There is a problem though, because two beasts are guarding the passage. Get a longer weapon and use Molotov Cocktails to make the fight easier and eliminate the first enemy as fast as you can. Don't waste Antidotes during the fight, but use them once everything is over. After the battle, head down the path again (on the way, behind the tombstones, you will find Frenzied Coldblood).

 

From this place, you can go two opposite ways. - Forbidden Woods - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughFrom this place, you can go two opposite ways.

You will reach a flooded area and you will be attacked by a Giant Boar that you know from the sewers in Central Yharnam. Watch out for its charge and frontal attack (dodge and attack from behind). From here, you can go either left or right.

Watch out for the enemies strong attacks - the fastest way to deal with them is using Molotov Cocktails. - Forbidden Woods - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWatch out for the enemies' strong attacks - the fastest way to deal with them is using Molotov Cocktails.

From the cave, you can turn left again. After going outside, you will encounter a new type of enemy (don't let its size mislead you - a series of quick attacks coming from them can be fatal). You will find Madman's Knowledge near a tree and two enemies will attack you a little further. They are not very resilient, but their "laser" attack deals a lot of damage. Try to eliminate at least one of them as fast as you can and focus on melee fight (they cannot use the laser when close to you and their melee attacks are weaker). The battle is very easy if you have Molotov Cocktails - one such weapon can eliminate both opponents right away. Notice a rune near the body (Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis - boosts stamina). At the end of the road, you will encounter another two enemies and you will find 2x Madman's Knowledge.

Giant Boar fight, right turn

If you turn right and go up the stairs, you will unlock a gate. - Forbidden Woods - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you turn right and go up the stairs, you will unlock a gate.

Drag the enemy downstairs as soon as the battle starts. He fights using a sword and sometimes a whip. Also, watch out for the attack when he throws some powder at you (it happens when you stand too long in front of him), because it's the one that deals the most damage. Another special attack starts with the enemy crossing his weapons and summoning electric projectiles. What's the most important, try to avoid the attacks described above, focus on keeping your distance from the enemy and attacking by jumping towards him. When the hunter throws "tentacles" in front of him, it is a good moment to attack - if you dodge this special attack, you will have a moment to jump close to the enemy and strike a few blows.

Through the cave you will get to the upper part. There don't run too fast, instead stand behind the rocks and observe the enemy that walks through the road on the right side. When he turns around, start sneaking up behind him (move slowly) - it will save you the trouble with frenzy and the necessity to use Sedatives. When you will walk down, on the left you will meet another enemy (he attacks with his tail), and in his body you will find Blood Stone Shard. Finally, go to the bottom, on the way collect Madman's Knowledge (body on the right, watch out not to fall from the edge).

- you must have Cainhurst Summons found in the Iosefka's Clinic after defeating Vicar Amelia (the spot where you begin the game, passage to Yharnam through the cave in Forbidden Woods),

- you must defeat Witch of Hemwick.

Next step will be to go to the large gate that can be found on the left side from the lamp that you lighted at the beginning. While walking, you will be attacked by few mosquito-like enemies. Watch out - these creatures are very dangerous, they can use a quick and strong attack (a series of hits) and, what's even worse, they can jump. This attack stops player's preparations and temporary stuns him - usually immediately after the first one, another jump occurs. And another. If you won't dodge it, such combo might quickly lead to character's death. When you walk from the ground, you must jump to the side, as enemy's reach will easily get to you if you move to the back. Behind the fountain you will find 2x Numbing Mist.

Before getting to the gate, go slightly to the right - Forsaken Castle Cainhurst - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before getting to the gate, go slightly to the right. There you will meet a single enemy, and near the body 4x Numbing Mist. Now look at left from the gate.

Keep your enemies at distance, you can hide from their shoots behind a pillar. - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughKeep your enemies at distance, you can hide from their shoots behind a pillar.

It will be hard to face two enemies at once, try to have both of them in front of you to avoid being hit from many directions. You can also walk outside and attack them near the door, where you will hide from machine gun fire (you can do the same behind pillars). After cleaning the territory collect the Tiny Tonitrus from the chest and then return to the bridge you previously bypassed.

Before you enter the center of the court, defeat enemies that can be found on both sides. - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBefore you enter the center of the court, defeat enemies that can be found on both sides.

At first, get attention of enemies that stand on both sides of the bridge as it is quite crowded here (walk closer and let few enemies see you, then retreat from the court). By the monument, there is a corpse with Bloodstone Fragment. When situation becomes relatively safe, notice laser attack of the creature standing behind the bridge. You must run down the stairs in such way that you won't get hit - the spot, where the laser was aimed explodes after a short while. So wait before the bridge for the bullets to explode and then quickly run down, where you can light the lamp (Yahar'gul Chapel).

Note: Before you enter the chapel, on the big square, to the right of the fence (the screenshot) there is a gap that you can jump down across (carefully) - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Walk inside (two opponents), and jump into the locked cage below. At the corpse, you find Upper Cathedral Key, which allows you to get to the Upper Cathedral ward. You can open the gate from the inside without any problems.

Place where you jump down. - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Yahargul Chapel - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughPlace where you jump down.

There is only exit from the chapel, on the left of the lamp (if you do it quickly you will have a chance to kill crawling creature - 2x Blood Stone Shard). When walking through this road, instead of running down the stairs first go slightly to the right (next to the hanging creature), then jump down - here you will find a single enemy and Frenzied Coldblood).

Enemies are in a strong group, but if you move fast you can bypass them. - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Yahargul Chapel - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemies are in a strong group, but if you move fast you can bypass them.

When you go lower, two dogs will attack you and on the court ahead you will see a large group of enemies (one larger, one shooter, two using melee weapon and one with magic attack). If you want to defeat them without losing life, first eliminate the weaker ones to slightly change the odds (watch out for bullets, in close they deal great damage). You can easily bypass this group as well - no matter the choice you made run down the stairs (two enemies will probably follow you to the chapel anyway). On the way, in a body on the left you will find 8x Blood Vial. At the end of the road open the door that leads inside the building (inside another door ahead, they will become unlocked later).

Enemy turned back must be attacked with a finishing blow. - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Yahargul Chapel - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEnemy turned back must be attacked with a finishing blow.

Note: If you let yourself be killed by the catchers earlier in the game, and woke up in the Underground Jail, you could collect some of the items that, for obvious reasons, you will not find again. If, however, there is something that you missed - you can find it now.

Inside walk down and prepare yourself for fighting three hunters at once. One of them is using whip and pistol, second iron sword with a cannon, and the third has claws. Additionally, enemies can use flame thrower and electric attack. All of that combined makes battle very difficult and you should divide it into smaller phases, focusing on defeating single enemies.

After killing any of the hunters fighting after death will be easier - you wont met again enemy that you have already defeated. - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Yahargul Chapel - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter killing any of the hunters fighting after death will be easier - you won't met again enemy that you have already defeated.

First focus on the enemy that has his back turned on you, in the middle of the hall. You can easily sneak up on him, then make a strong hit and finishing blow (strong hit loaded to maximum and after him a quick one) - by doing so, you will start the battle with weakening your enemy from the beginning. The rest of the battle is unpredictable, enemies will jump to you from many sides. It is a good idea to remain in the middle of the hall, where you have more place to act than, for example, on the stairs. Try to focus on attacking one enemy (at first you should eliminate the one with claws) - if you kill any of them, after you die and return next time will be easier as you will have one less enemy to worry about. Fighting two hunters will be much easier, you will only have to watch out for their strongest attacks (cannon shot, flames, electrical bullets).

After the battle, you can collect from the bodies Moon Rune (more Blood Echoes for killing enemies). Additionally for the hunters you will receive 3x 5198 Blood Echoes, Clawmark Rune, Bone Marrow Ash, Quicksilver Bullets and Madman's Knowledge.

In the spot seen on the screen you will find 2x Blood Stone Shard in the body, but when you get close watch out for enemy jumping out of the carriage (make a quick dodge). When fighting that type of enemy watch out for being crushed and his quick series of attacks, try to attack enemy from the back and quickly jump away (enemy can quickly turn around).

Attack enemies from the back. - Yahargul, Unseen Village - Yahargul Chapel - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAttack enemies from the back.

The final place you should visit is the end of the court, behind the carriage from which enemy jumped. Now three enemies are standing there, luckily they are all turned to the other side. You can sneak up on them and with a strong attack with long weapon deal damage to all three of them or try to lure one of them (for example, the one on the right). No matter what tactic you use, don't let them get too close to you as with strong attack being surrounded by them might be fatal for you. Tonitrus weapon in a body near the wall will be reward for defeating them - now you can return to the chapel and pick the other road.

Chapel exit - right, boss

Return to the place where you fought the giant enemy. Under the wall, more to the right, you will see a ladder. When you walk down, you can talk to the "spider" that was previously blocking the door below. Talk to him once (you will receive "Beg for Life" gesture, open the door to unlock the passage to the lower part of Lecture Building), then second time - if you confirm that you don't have anything against the spider (second dialogue option), you will receive Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis Rune which improves your condition by 15%. You can find the spider in some parts of Chalice Dungeons. He sells the item at much higher prices than Messengers in Hunter's Dream.

Finally, you can attack the spider if you are not interested in what he has to offer - if you do this quickly enough, he will not even have the time to react. Otherwise, watch out for the attack similar to the ones that the spiders used while you were fighting Rom, the Vacuous Spider. For killing the spider, you receive 5 443 Blood Echoes and Great One's Knowledge.

Exit door from the location can be found at the end of the corridor. - Lecture Building - 1st floor - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughExit door from the location can be found at the end of the corridor.

Hit as strongly as possible from the back. - Nightmare of Mensis - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughHit as strongly as possible from the back.

Immediately after traveling from Lecture Hall - first floor go through the cave. After leaving you will find yourself on a plane, where near a tree a werewolf turned back to you stands. When you go to him you can make a surprise attack, though stunning probably won't work (enemy will turn around). Watch out as this enemy types are stronger, more resistant and faster than the ones previously met. Additionally they have few other attacks (like releasing snakes from their head or electricity attacks). These enemies, after they lose around half of their health, start moving on four legs, which makes them even more dangerous. After their death two snakes are shot from their bodies - it happens in case of all further enemies.

Important: If you will use a weapon with fire effect (for example, after using Fire Paper) to kill Werewolves, snakes won't appear after their death.

Now you must be very careful. Whenever you walk out from caves someone is shooting at you which increases your frenzy (filling the bar usually ends with your death). If you remain behind the rocks you're temporary safe, so it is a good idea to move from cover to cover to reduce the negative effect before you stand out again. Sedatives protect you from frenzy as well.

Important: Throwing a Brain from the bridge down (described at the end of this chapter) will "release" the arena from his influence. Bullets that generate frenzy will stop hitting you.

After defeating them you can collect 8x Blood Vial from their bodies, then, for now, ignore the bridge and walk through the rocks maximally to the right of that location.

Important: If you can't deal with enemies, you should lure them to the same bullets that are hitting you. Wear something with maximum frenzy resistance, prepare some Sedatives, then run on open territory. Enemies will receive damage until they die.

Defeating trolls might be too hard, but it is possible to quickly collect runes and activate the lamp. - Nightmare of Mensis - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDefeating trolls might be too hard, but it is possible to quickly collect runes and activate the lamp.

Hide behind the larger rock on your way. Now ahead of yourself you will see two colossus, another one a bit further. Fighting here is very difficult as enemies are strength in numbers and frenzy is constantly rising. It is additionally easy to accidentally fall down. At the end of the road there is a lamp and, currently inactive, elevator.

Near the body you will find Eye rune that increase loot from fallen enemies. It is definitely better to bypass enemies, quickly collect rune and then light up the lamp (Mergo Loft: base). Later it will allow you to use shortcut, but for now return to the bridge you previously ignored.

Behind the bridge you will be no longer threatened by increasing frenzy. - Nightmare of Mensis - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBehind the bridge you will be no longer threatened by increasing frenzy.

Behind one of the giants you can find Blood Stone Shard. If you want to defeat enemies, do it gradually, with the second one you must watch out for rocks thrown at you or lure the enemy down. Before the gate two final giants await. If you run near them, you can after a while (when they lose interest in you) attack them from the back. If you don't want to fight at all simply run ahead and open the door - inside you are safe.

By doing so, you will defeat the creature with no trouble.

If you dont want to be surprised, shoot the hanging spider. - Nightmare of Mensis - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you don't want to be surprised, shoot the hanging spider.

Then you can either quickly go to the elevator, thus avoiding stronger opponents (quick sprint on the left side), or walk around them from the right. The second option will allow you to attack them from their back and eliminating at least two of them one after another (they are standing behind curtain) - it is a pretty good facilitation as small enemies with crossbows deal pretty large damage. The final opponent is once again a huge woman with chains and axe. Watch out especially for her attacks done with the second weapon (crush to the ground, very large damage). In the body near the pillar you will find 2x Lead Elixir, after that you can ride the elevator up.

After killing them walk out through stairs. When you're up, go right, gain some speed (sprint) and jump to the cage - kill single enemy and take Tempering Damp Blood Gem. Then go maximally to the left (while having entrance to the building on your right), walk slightly down and kill two mutated dogs. In bodies you will find Frenzied Coldblood and Blood Stone Shard.

Enemies have strong and fast attack, but you must be especially cautious not of their melee attacks but of flames created by one of "Shadows".

Under another stair go near the barrier to the left where you will find 2x Blood Stone Shard.

This enemy is much stronger than previously met pigs so avoid at all cost its charge or standing on back legs and hitting the ground (this attacks might even kill you, depending on your character's level). But with one pig it is easier, especially if you use the advantage of back attack and deal maximum damage.

Important: Pig can spit some muddy slime, in quickly increase your frenzy. This attack isn't frequent but it is wise to have some Sedatives just in case.

Two pigs that you face a while further might be more trouble - Nightmare of Mensis - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Two pigs that you face a while further might be more trouble. You shouldn't try fighting two at once as risk of death is much greater then. It is better to split the monsters, which is quite possible. After a while pigs will walk down and, after a short walk, will return back above. A perfect moment is to let one pig see you when the other has already turned (screen). There is a great probability that the pig will start charge (watch out), but thanks to this maneuver defeating those pigs one after another will be much easier. It will pay off as in three bodies lying on the court you will find 2x Frenzied Coldblood and Nourishing Damp Blood Gem.

After the pigs another strong opponents await you, this time four of them. Just as previously, lure away three of them from the fourth one that shoots fireballs. During the battle you should have all enemies in front of you, make your weapon longer and try to knock down three of them at once (it will be much harder if you let them surround you and they will attack you from many sides).

At the bottom immediately hide behind a rock. On the other side there is a chest with a very valuable item, so you should try reaching it. It might be harder due to enemy guarding it that increase your frenzy. When he will walk as far to the left as possible, you go slowly through the bar, be careful not to fall. On the other side kill the enemy as fast as possible and immediately after take Sedatives (you must act quickly so that your frenzy bar won't load itself, it depends on your frenzy resistance). Take Choir Bell from the chest.

Youre safe on the bridge, collect many items. - Nightmare of Mensis - Walkthrough - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou're safe on the bridge, collect many items.

Attacks

- swipe - this attack is signalized by a swing, the enemy attacks you with his hand and most probably will strike you again the same way

- claw attack - when his life bar will be shortened by about a half the boss will start attack with his second arm which may nail the player's character down

- attack sequence - the enemy makes over a dozen attacks in a row staying in one position and reacting only when the player's character will get close to him

- claw catch - in the final phase of the battle the enemy may catch the player's character between his arms and his attack deals a lot damage although it is preceded by folding his hands (like during the clapping)

Battle

The first boss which you will meet at the end of the bridge (first you have to take care of two beasts and some minor enemies). This boss has quite a big size and long attack range what makes his attacks hard to dodge even though the bridge is very wide. The first difficulty may be avoiding the enemy.

A swing signalizes the incoming strike. - Cleric Beast - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughA swing signalizes the incoming strike.

In the beginning watch out for the swipes who are the boss's main type of attack. If you are close enough the enemy will try to swipe you at least two times in a row. Dodge them by jumping away or run fast when he raises his hands to attack him from behind although you want have a lot of time to do so. You may also think about increasing the range of your weapon to make a better use of your time by allowing you to deal damage from a longer distance.

The leaned down beast will become an easy target. - Cleric Beast - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe leaned down beast will become an easy target.

If you have a few Throwing Knives you may aim the enemy's head. It will make his head bleeding and he will lean down a little what will allow you to deal him a lot of damage by attacking his head which is more vulnerable to damage. Firing the pistol or the blunderbuss will do the job just as well.

In the last phase the beast will mostly attack you statically from one place. - Cleric Beast - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn the last phase the beast will mostly attack you statically from one place.

When you will take down about the half of the enemy Hit Points he will stop moving around the area but instead he will stay in one place and keep attacking you. If you will get closer to him he will also use the second hand to try to nail you to the ground. The best way is to turn off the camera lock and to run around him to attack his back. He will obviously turn around to catch you although you should be able to jump away. Repeat the entire process few times to defeat the enemy.

Cleric Beast focuses on your ally - Cleric Beast - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughCleric Beast focuses on your ally

It may be much easier to win the fight if you lose first. You will then receive Insight, which allows you to summon other players into your world. In the case of this boss, you can get help from Father Gascoigne, if only you have not defeated him earlier. You need to climb down from the Central Yharnam landmark (the lantern), across the gate to the left. Next to the opponent with a torch, there is a note - read it. Here, you can summon Father Gascoigne who will help you with the battle. Cleric Beast focuses mainly on attacking your ally, thanks to which you will have the time to attack the opponent yourself.

Note: To help you with this boss, you can also summon Alfred, whom you meet in Cathedral ward.

If you defeated Father Gascoigne as the first one, you will not be able to summon him. Instead, you receive a free weapon from Gilbert- Flamesprayer. Gilbert himself is in the widow opposite the Central Yharnam lantern. Use the weapon, because the beast is vulnerable to fire.

Reward: Sword Hunter Badge, 4000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Great Bridge respawn point).

- squeeze (after the change) - as the attack which will finish his attack series or his jumping toward the player's character the enemy may nail the character to the ground what will make him more vulnerable to the following attacks

Battle

Allow the enemy to get closer and treat him with your fully-charged attack. - Father Gascoigne - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAllow the enemy to get closer and treat him with your fully-charged attack.

The battle with this boss is divided into three parts. In the first part you he fights similar to the player while he uses a short axe and a firearm. Watch out especially for his attack series since taking all his strikes at once will be very painful. He does not uses a gun unless you will knock him down on the ground and because of that you need to jump away from him instead of trying to keep attacking him. Try to focus on using the mighty charged attacks after making a successful dodge. The boss will get close to you mostly when the attack will be prepared. He will take a significant damage and will be knock down.

The enemy has increased his weapons range? You may do the same. - Father Gascoigne - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe enemy has increased his weapon's range? You may do the same.

The second phase is rather similar to the first one and will begin when the enemy will lose about one-third of his Hit Points. He will increase the length of his weapon what will make getting close to him more difficult. However just as before you need to use the mighty attack since the enemy really likes to get close to you. Dealing few strong hits just after the dodge will lead you to the phase number three.

After the change the boss will become slightly faster. - Father Gascoigne - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter the change the boss will become slightly faster.

At the end of the battle (when you will take down about two-third of the enemy Hit Points) the boss will completely transform and will attack you mostly with his bare hands and sometimes with kicking. He may also treat you with a knock down what is signalized by a short jumping charge. Try to dodge it to prevent yourself from the first hit what will allow you to attack his back in response. You will easily attack him when he spits out the blood what allows you to charge your strongest attack. Beside this moment in this phase you should be more focused on striking with quick attacks since you will not have enough time to charge most of the time.

Using the music box temporarily stuns Father Gascoigne - Father Gascoigne - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughUsing the music box temporarily stuns Father Gascoigne

If you have talked to Viola's daughter earlier and you agreed to help her mother, in your equipment you now find the Tiny Music Box. Using it allows you to stun, temporarily, Father Gascoigne, which results in the opportunity to land attacks with impunity. However, you cannot do this all the time - 2-3 times tops (it is possible that with the last use, the boss transforms into his strongest final form, from the last phase of the battle) and once right after the opponent transforms. Later on, the music box simply ceases to take any effect. Remember that cranking it up takes some time, which leaves you exposed to the enemy attacks.

Reward: Oedon Tomb Key, 1800 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Tomb of Oedon respawn point).

Running Amelia most of the times jumps on the players character and attacks him at the same time. - Vicar Amelia - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughRunning Amelia most of the times jumps on the player's character and attacks him at the same time.

Attacks

- claw strike - the enemy draws her claws over the floor for a moment making the orange sparkles and then making few strikes with them

- attack series - Amelia attacks you with her hand and if she will hit you she will instantly attack you with another even faster attack

- vertical swipe - boss folds her hands for a moment as she would like to pray what makes her vulnerable for the player's attacks and then attacks the player's character with an air blast

- jump and strike - the enemy attacks from a longer distance by running towards you and making a jump which will nail your hunter to the ground

- claw catch - an attack preceded by raising the boss's both hands which then drop together to squeeze the player's character

- heal - in the middle of the fight Amelia folds her hands to pray and starts regenerating her Hit Points while she is surrounded by an orange aura. Instead of attacking you may cancel this effect by using a Numbing Mist

Battle

Vicar Amelia is a big sized enemy so you should take with you a weapon with a long range. Remember to take with you a lot of Blood Vials and, if you want, Molotov Cocktails. An absolute must-have is a Numbing Mist which you may take from a corpse in front of the stairs leading to the arena. Turn right and from a small square use the ladder to get up and collect a small amount of Mist.

The vertical swipe is preceded by raising the hands what makes it easier to dodge it. - Vicar Amelia - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe vertical swipe is preceded by raising the hands what makes it easier to dodge it.

The entire battle will keep the same scheme. When you will try to keep your distance from the boss she will attack you with an air blast. She will raise her hands what will let you take a time to find a way to dodge a tornado "going" towards you. He may also try to jump on you (dodge towards right). After both these attacks you will have a moment to attack her although you will not have enough time to make a fully charged attack since Amelia may attack you with her claws and interrupt the charge. Especially brutal will be the melee attack series preceded by drawing the enemy claws on the ground what will create the orange sparkles. When it will begin move away to a safe distance and patiently wait.

Interrupt the bosss healing as fast as you can. - Vicar Amelia - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughInterrupt the boss's healing as fast as you can.

When you will shorten the enemy health bar by a half she will try to heal herself by a big amount of Hit Points. You need to cancel this process by using the prepared Numbing Mist (throw it in your enemy while she heals). If you will allow Amelia to heal herself the battle will prolong quite a bit. Because of that you should use the Mist only if you are sure that you are ready for the final battle since you can't buy it and if you will not have it you will not have other way but to allow her to heal. Because of that you should wait with the battle for the moment when you are sure that you are ready for a battle and, for example, you have enough Blood Vials to face her. Otherwise keep Numbing Mist for later on.

Note: If you do not have Numbing Mist, it is still possible to interrupt the healing process. Try to attack mainly Amelia's legs, which may stun her and buy you time to land a finishing attack. If this fails, attack her anyways which will - at least partially - alleviate the effects of the healing.

If you will be too close to the enemy you are in danger of a huge amount of fast attacks. - Vicar Amelia - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you will be too close to the enemy you are in danger of a huge amount of fast attacks.

The key to victory is to keep moving and attacking while jumping while the enemy will turn his back to you after your successful dodge. If you will stay next to Amelia for too long you may suffer from the attack series. Use a long weapon, make fast attacks and jump away from her as fast as you can.

Reward: Gold Pendant, 15 000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Grand Cathedral respawn point).

Attacks

- claw attack - few attacks which you may easily dodge although in the second part of the battle are lethal and poisonous

- strike and bite - whenever the beast is close to you she may catch your character and bite it after a few melee attacks what will instantly poison you what makes necessary to bring some Antidotes with you

- charge with a strike - boss runs towards the player's character and makes a huge swing what may be prevented sometimes even by a little jump without a full dodge

- poisoning - from the half of the battle every enemy attack will poison you what make even the slightest scratch quite difficult

- poisonous spit - in the last phase of the duel, when the enemy will have about one-third of his Hit Points he may spit with poison after standing motionless for a moment and the best way is to wait for its end in a safe distance

Battle

The first phase of the battle is easy and not really challenging. The boss will mostly attack you with his claws. Use a long weapon to keep him on distance. Use the fully-charged attack when he will get close to you what will both deal him a lot of damage and keep him away from you. Try to not use any Blood Vials or Molotov Cocktails since they will be useful later on when your enemy will drop to about half his basic Hit Points.

When the enemy gets close to you better be prepared for a mighty attack. - Blood-Starved Beast - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen the enemy gets close to you better be prepared for a mighty attack.

The second phase will be much more difficult. It will be dictated by the fact that after dropping to half his Hit Points Beast will start to poison your character with every attack. He may also catch you and gradually deal you damage. You should wear an attire with a poison protection suck as the Black Church set from the Cathedral Ward. Don't forget to bring a big supply of Antidotes as well as some Molotov Cocktails which will help you to finish the duel faster.

When the enemy will start to poison the players character he will attack much more often and more aggressive. - Blood-Starved Beast - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen the enemy will start to poison the player's character he will attack much more often and more aggressive.

Both phases of the battle are fairly similar although in the second phase the enemy will be more aggressive. Focus on striking Beast with the strongest attacks when he will get closer to you. In the first phase of the battle it will be rather easy however in the second phase you may try to focus on dodging since the enemy attack will be also poisonous. The most dangerous attack is a strike and bait. Attack mostly after the successful dodge. In the last part of the battle when Beast will have only one-third of his Hit Point sit will also start attacking with a poisonous spit. When he will stay in a place and start charging his attack go on a safe distance to keep you safe.

Remember to take with you a big supply of Antidotes and to take an armor with poison-protection. In the first phase use the mighty attacks and in the second phase the quick attacks to avoid being poisoned. Use some Molotov Cocktails. If you don't have at least 3 Antidotes you may find them laying with the corpse behind the alter. Remember to neutralize the negative effect of a poison before you will use a Blood Vial (the other way is viable only when you are really desperate). If you have the Pungent Blood Cocktail on you, you can try and lure the beast away, which buys you several seconds to attack or to heal yourself.

Note: As you climb down the stairs towards the chapel, you can spot a note to the right. If you have not fought Alfred, you can now summon him to help you in battle.

Reward: Pthumeru Chalice - you will use it with the Ritual Blood to make a Pthumerian Labyrinth Chalice Dungeon in the Hunter's Dream (Ritual Altar), 5600 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Church of the Good Chalice respawn point).

You can attack the Witch of Hemwick from behind. - Witch of Hemwick - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou can attack the Witch of Hemwick from behind.

Attacks

- disappearing - it is not an attack but one of the Witch's moves that she performs once in a while. The witch becomes invisible and teleports to a different place on the arena. She remains this way until the player comes close to her.

- summoning allies - the boss summons lesser witches, of which there are quite a few in the last phase. They are slow and easy to avoid, but it is good to get rid of them once they start to form a serious force.

- projectile - the Witch can shoot a blue orb towards the hero, which will stun him if the attack connects (this attack is performed rather rare if the hero stands close to the boss).

- physical attack - a normal strike (performed rarely if the hero stands close to the Witch).

- exploding circle (high damage) - the only "real" attack that the Witch can perform. She spreads a red circle around her which then explodes, dealing a lot of damage.

Strategy

This battle is not very challenging. However, finding the enemy may sometimes cause you some trouble. Search for the Witch in the corners of the arena, as she rarely teleports to the central part of it. Remember to dodge the only strong attack - the exploding circle. Use your extended weapon and do not allow a situation when there are too many lesser witches on the arena.

The red aura will help you locate the boss. - Witch of Hemwick - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe red aura will help you locate the boss.

The battle looks similar throughout the whole fight. Witch of Hemwick remains invisible until the player comes close to her. The arena is not very big so it is not difficult to find the boss. If you have any trouble locating the opponent, kill the allies that she's summoned and then keep running in circles. You can sometimes notice an orange circle that the Witch is making.

The Witch disappears after every hit so try to strike as strongly as you can. - Witch of Hemwick - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe Witch disappears after every hit so try to strike as strongly as you can.

When you come close to her, the Witch will be visible to you and you will be able to lock the target. Use this moment to perform a burst of blows, as strong as you can (she disappears after being hit so you can use a fully charged attack and then a quick finishing move). The Witch will disappear and summon another enemy.

The HP bar of the second Witch will be different, depending on how many times youve hit her before. - Witch of Hemwick - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe HP bar of the second Witch will be different, depending on how many times you've hit her before.

Repeat this pattern until the Witch dies (at the end, she will summon several enemies one after another - deal with them first). When her HP bar falls to zero, a second Witch of Hemwick will appear. What is really happening, is that there are two Witches of Hemwick on the arena the whole time. If you notice that you don't deal any damage when hitting a Witch, you are dealing it to the second one. Her HP bar appears only after defeating the first opponent. The strategy is identical - kill her allies, locate the Witch and attack her fast and strong. When the second boss is dead, the fight is finally over.

Reward: 6x Bloodshot Eyeball, 11800 Blood Echoes, a lantern that you can light (respawn point called Witch's Abode), Rune Workshop Tool - after the fight, at the end of the corridor, behind the lantern (allows you to use runes in the Hunter's Dream).

Three opponents, each one uses different attacks. - Shadows of Yharnam - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThree opponents, each one uses different attacks.

Attacks

- a series of sword strikes - this attack is performed by one of the enemies, who quickly approaches the hero and performs a series of very fast blows with his sword (interrupts the hero's attack).

- sword attack + fire attack - the second enemy uses his sword rarely (the attack is not very dangerous), but he frequently tries to burn the player using a flamethrower (jump back immediately).

- fireballs - the last opponent keeps his distance from the hero, shooting three fireballs at him. It is best to dodge them or hide behind a tombstone.

- snake attack - in the second phase, the sword fighter grows snakes on his head, which he can shoot towards the player.

- fire sword - the second enemy enhances the power of his weapon by setting it on fire.

- rain of fire - during the second phase, the last opponent can fire missiles at the player, which this time will fall from the sky.

- summoning - the most dangerous attack that can occur during the second phase of the battle; the enemies can summon huge snakes that attack from the water (a red circle around one of the bosses). It is best not to let it happen by interrupting the summoning.

Strategy

This battle is slightly different from the usual boss fights, because you are facing three opponents at the same time. Therefore, don't forget to bring as many buffing items as you can (some Fire Paper to put on your weapon).

You can hide behind the tombstone to avoid the mage attacks. - Shadows of Yharnam - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou can hide behind the tombstone to avoid the mage attacks.

During the first phase, it is best for you to deal with the enemies that keep coming close to you. The most annoying and dangerous at the same time is the sword fighter, who can attack you with a series of very fast blows. Focus on him first and lower his HP bar to about a half of it. You can back away from the enemies and charge a strong attack (with the extended weapon).

The enemies obtain new abilities after the transformation. - Shadows of Yharnam - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe enemies obtain new abilities after the transformation.

Next, deal with the second enemy and lower his HP bar to a half of it as well. The reason why you should do that instead of killing one after another it's because when the HP of one of the enemies falls to about 1/3 of it, the battle enters phase two and the opponents can use their most dangerous attack - summoning. Therefore, during phase two, you should try to reach a 1 vs. 1 situation as quickly as you can. Take a half of both the enemies that attack you on short distance and then kill the sword fighter fast. After that, finish the second boss and deal with the mage.

You must interrupt the summoning spell. - Shadows of Yharnam - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou must interrupt the summoning spell.

1 vs. 1 fight is not much of a challenge. The most important thing that you should have in mind is not to allow the enemy to cast the summoning spell. If he starts to cast it (red aura), approach him as quickly as you can and attack him to interrupt. After that, you can strike a series of blows.

To sum up: First, deal with the two Shadows that keep coming close to you. Watch out for the series of blows, the flamethrower and for the fireballs. When the fight enters phase two, kill the sword fighter as quickly as you can, then the second Shadow. At the end, remember to interrupt the summoning spell and avoid being hit by fireballs (dodge or hide behind a tombstone).

Reward: Blood rapture Rune (finishing attacks restore HP), 18600 Blood Echoes, a lantern that you can light (respawn point - Forbidden Grave), unlocking the way to Byrgenwerth.

The Spider has a few bodyguards. - Rom, the Vacuous Spider - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe Spider has a few bodyguards.

Attacks

- summon spiders - every time the boss disappears and then reappears, it summons a group of spiders.

- ranged ice barrage - the boss raises its torso and moves its limbs. After a while, a rain of ice blocks falls down on the player.

- upward ice barrage - the Spider rolls on his back and ice blocks shoot from the water, hurting the hero.

- lying on the back and explosion - an attack similar to the previous one; the Spider rolls on his back and then the explosion happens around him.

- disappear and change position - occurs twice, when Rom's HP bar falls to a certain amount. The boss disappears and changes its location, appearing with a group of spiders.

- body slam attack - near the end of the battle, be careful when coming close to the boss because it will attack you with its head, dealing a lot of damage.

Strategy

The first time, you have to start the fight yourself. - Rom, the Vacuous Spider - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe first time, you have to start the fight yourself.

When you get into the arena for the first time, Rom will not be moving. However, if you fail during the first attempt, the boss will attack you each time you enter the location again. Use the moment while Rom is still to examine his structure. The boss's body can be divided into two parts - a well-protected head and a vulnerable torso.

The torso is the best place for you to attack. - Rom, the Vacuous Spider - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe torso is the best place for you to attack.

When you're ready, start the fight by hitting the enemy in the torso. You will see the boss's HP bar and a dozen-or-so smaller spiders. You should remember two things about them: their head is also well-protected (you will not deal a lot of damage by attacking their front side) and they can quickly perform two types of attacks (sinking into the ground or attacking with their pincers). During the first phase of the battle, Rom practically won't attack you, but you need to watch out for the poison that appears when you hit the torso. Try to drag the spiders away from the boss, then approach Rom and attack. After you take about 1/3 of the main opponent's HP, it will teleport to another place on the arena (you can still attack the shape, dealing some damage).

The boss getting ready to attack. - Rom, the Vacuous Spider - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe boss getting ready to attack.

The next phase means new spiders. Despite there being a lot of them, they are not worth fighting with. You will only lose a lot of HP, because, as you know, "nec Hercules contra plures" (another difficulty are the boss's attacks, which start during phase two). Try to lure the enemies away from the boss, then approach it and attack its torso (don't try to attack the head because you will hardly deal any damage at all). Mind also the main opponent's stance, as it will tell you about the attacks that are bound to follow - it is especially harmful to be caught by the rain of ice blocks or the explosion. These attacks are both signalized with a two-seconds stance change. When Rom's HP bar falls to 1/3 of the maximum value, the boss will change its position again and the battle will enter phase three.

The spider is about to explode - quickly jump back. - Rom, the Vacuous Spider - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe spider is about to explode - quickly jump back.

The opponent will appear for the last time with a fresh portion of smaller spiders. You will notice that getting to the boss is very difficult now. However, the best strategy is still to go past the spiders or maybe kill one or two of them. If you're away from the boss, you will force the spiders to be on the move. You can use the fact that you are faster than them and approach Rom to attack its torso. In this phase, you have to be particularly careful, because Rom starts to attack with its head. It is good to save some Molotov Cocktails for this part, as they will allow you to defeat the enemy faster.

When the fight is over, approach the edge of the lake and watch a cut-scene.

Reward: 12x Kin Coldblood, 24860 Blood Echoes, a lantern (respawn point - Moonside Lake), a door opens in Cathedral Ward (the last one to the right, from the Cathedral - you will be teleported here automatically) - they lead to Yahar'gul Unseen Village.

Amygdala attacks has long reach. - Amygdala - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAmygdala attacks has long reach.

Attacks

- laser - boss shoots few exploding bullets, deals lots of damage, avoid by running to the sides

- hitting with arms/swinging arm forward - few physical attacks with long reach, after the final one Amygdala is leaning forward, it is a good time to attacks her head

- jump and crush - when you will stand at the back of the boss for long, the boss will try to change his position by jumping and crushing you

- crushing with legs - again when you will stand at the back, boss will try to crush you with his back limbs.

Combat

A good time to attack the head is after you dodge, when Amygdala is recovering after her own attack. - Amygdala - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughA good time to attack the head is after you dodge, when Amygdala is "recovering" after her own attack.

Amygdala has few strong attacks. Her head is her main weakpoint, legs are the second one - this body parts are volatile to attacks, a strongly loaded attack to the head might even stun the enemy, which will give you chance to make a finishing blow (quick attack). Good time to attack the head is when Amygdala is leaning to the ground. It happens after physical attacks (arm swinging). You have a moment then to run towards her and deal a strong attack (remember about making your weapon longer).

Watch out for the laser attack that deals great damage. - Amygdala - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWatch out for the laser attack that deals great damage.

During the first phase of the battle enemy will mostly attack you physically, in the second phase he will add more frequent crushing and laser. From around 30% of life bar Amygdala will greatly improve the reach of her physical attacks. At that point you should keep yourself as close to her as possible, it will allow you to avoid them. When you fight under Amygdala you additionally have a good position to attack her head and arms.

Immediately after the jump you can quickly roll towards the bosss head. - Amygdala - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughImmediately after the jump you can quickly roll towards the boss's head.

Another tactic, that is much safer, but takes more time, is focusing on attacking back legs. When you stand behind the boss you are relatively safe as you avoid all front attacks. You must only watch out for crushing and jumps. The later can be used by you to quickly roll towards Amygdala head (for a while it is close to the ground). Enemy will often jump wanting to have the player ahead, it will give you an opportunity to deal more damage. Only weakness of that tactic is that the battle takes more time as back of Amygdala is more resistant and damage dealt there is smaller (but when connected with rolling when enemy jumps and head attacks this tactic might prove to be very effective).

Reward: Ailing Loran Chalice, 21000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Amygdala's Chamber respawn point).

Darkbeast Paarl is one of optional bosses. - Darkbeast Paarl - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDarkbeast Paarl is one of optional bosses.

Attacks

- arm hit - most common attack, combined into series - enemy makes few consecutive arm moves, attack has long reach, avoiding it allows you to get under the boss and deal some hits

- explosion - remaining too long under the Beast might end with an explosion, damage is large, but the attack is signalized before (charging of electrical ball around the boss), so you will have a moment to jump away

- jump and hit - it's a strong move forward combined with a hit, used usually when you go too far from the boss

- electrical attacks - in second phase of the combat all enemy attacks are additionally strengthened with electrical bolts, which greatly improve their damage, additionally they have area of effect, direct hit is not required

Combat

Hitting the legs might make the Beast fall. - Darkbeast Paarl - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughHitting the legs might make the Beast fall.

This boss is an optional adversary that might be troublesome. His advantage is long range of physical attack that becomes additionally strengthened by electrical charges (in the second phase of the battle). His weakness are his thin legs that should be, along with head, your main target - few hits throw the Beast off-balance and gives you an opportunity to deal a finishing blow.

Explosion deals very large damage on large territory. - Darkbeast Paarl - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughExplosion deals very large damage on large territory.

During the battle observe your enemy, as dodging in the right time is hard, but it will be rewarded with opportunity to deal a blow to the legs or head. The latter is most vulnerable, but you can hit it mostly after you throw the enemy down or when he bends down after an attack. When you search for opportunity you should remain under the boss (although you must watch out for electrical explosion) from where you can attack legs and the head. Attacking the legs is hard as you can't lock the camera on them, so if you want to use the tactic of making the enemy fall down and deal him finishing blows it will be easier for you if you fight without locking the camera on boss's head.

Second phase means stronger enemy attacks. - Darkbeast Paarl - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughSecond phase means stronger enemy attacks.

In the second phase of the battle (around 50% of life bar) the boss will additionally strengthen his attacks with electricity, mostly the attacks of his claws. The tactic doesn't change, but enemy will be bit more aggressive and his attacks will deal more damage. Try to jump away for long distance and attack when enemy is regenerating after a series of attacks. You will have a perfect position if you manage to walk under the boss.

If during the battle you have trouble with feeling the right time for dodging and attacking the head it will be better if you use the tactic of jumping forth and back and you will aim the legs. It will give you the change to knock down the enemy few times and make a killing blow when he will lie down stunned. Beast protects himself from that with explosion, so when you see that lightning are gathering around him quickly jump away.

Reward: Spark Hunter Badge, 21000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Darkbeast Cemetery respawn point), shortcut to Old Yharnam unlocked

Boss attacks (bullet) immediately after you enter the court. - One Reborn - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBoss attacks (bullet) immediately after you enter the court.

Attacks

- trampling/crushing - boss is trying to crush the player when he is standing in front of him or behind him, in that case kicks from the side limbs are added

- squirting poison - when you hit enemy back legs a poison might spit from there (violet slime) that deals damage if you won't move back

- drowning the arena with slime - boss is spiting poisonous slime, almost whole arena is drowned in it, you must hide under the balcony and watch out as walking on the drowned territory reduces your health points

- body rain - when enemy above is spreading his hands, you can expect a rain of falling limps

- explosion - an orange aura is created around the boss which quickly after changes into a big explosion with great range

- single bullet - the boss sometimes spit a single bullet towards the player, usually when you're far from the One Reborn

Combat

Before the main battle, eliminate the mages standing on the upper balconies. - One Reborn - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBefore the main battle, eliminate the mages standing on the upper balconies.

Immediately after the battle starts dodge the bullet shot at you, and then... bypass the boss and run to the end of the arena where on both sides you will find an exit to the upper balcony. You will find 6 priests/mages there, three per each side (connected with a bridge at the end, you don't need to run down). Start the battle with killing them, as they help the main boss and shoot fireballs at you. Watch out when you're up, enemy's attacks might reach you.

Preparations for attack are signalized with raising both hands. - One Reborn - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughPreparations for attack are signalized with raising both hands.

Enemy has few dangerous attacks, mostly magical ones that you must be careful of. It includes body rain, explosion and flooding the arena. These attacks are signalized before and it takes some time for the boss to do them. Thanks to that, avoiding them shouldn't be hard, just remember to keep attention to what enemy is currently doing - when you hit his "lower part", you can easily miss the moment when he is preparing an attack.

You will hide from the poisonous slime under a balcony. - One Reborn - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou will hide from the poisonous slime under a balcony.

Attack him mostly in his back legs. Enemy is turning rather slowly and clumsy, so you will have some time to hit those parts (you might attack the tail as well). From behind you are less vulnerable to physical attacks which the boss is using less frequent than magical ones. Additional advantage of hitting legs is a chance for stunning the boss - then he will fall to the ground and it will give you a while to hit him with no worries. So attack mostly legs and jump away when he will prepare an attack or when a slime will start squirt from his legs.

Reward: 3x Yellow Backbone, 33000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Advent Plaza respawn point).

Watch out for magical attacks when you get close to the boss. - Martyr Logarius - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWatch out for magical attacks when you get close to the boss.

Attacks

- magical explosion - the boss is creating an orange ball around him which then he throws at the player, remaining in the reach of the attack deals great damage

- shooting bullets ("skulls") - Logarius throws few smaller skulls, you can avoid them by hiding behind sticking roof parts, you can also run between them (after a while, the skulls are "branching", making a gap between them

- shooting one, explosive skull - a dangerous attack, if player is close it has only one phase - immediate hit; in case of long distance first a small skull is hit and it detonates into a larger one after a while

- series of physical attacks - slow swing of Logarius weapon, they create a good chance for stun and dealing finishing blow, in the second phase these attacks are improved with much faster hits with shorter weapon

- levitation and attack - enemy flies above the roof, then quickly flies toward the player, this attack can be avoided with a single jump away, it is possible to stun enemy if you shoot gunfire at him the moment when he is coming

- placing a post on the ground - in the second phase enemy might place a post on the ground that shoots bullets in all direction; you can hide from it behind sticking roof elements or walk closer and destroy the post

Combat

Martyr Logarius is an optional and quite hard enemy. He has many magic attacks that can quickly kill the player. His physical attacks are strong as well, though slow, so they create a good opportunity for a counterattack or stun. When you go at this enemy, you should take all Quicksilver bullets, Blood vials and Fire Paper will be useful as well for increasing weapon damage.

Single shot skulls explode after they get close to player.

Immediately after entering the arena you will see that enemy is making few consecutive magic attacks. He will continue it until you get close to the throne. You should do it in a way that will save you damage - avoid the bullets and/or wait for the orange explosion, then quickly run towards Logarius that will stop his attacks for a short while. Then the real battle starts.

After a post is placed you can be hit with a bullet, no matter where you stand (sometimes even behind a cover). - Martyr Logarius - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter a post is placed you can be hit with a bullet, no matter where you stand (sometimes even behind a cover).

During the first phase enemy will use mostly shooting skulls and physical attacks. The best tactic is to force him to use the latter - so stay as close to Logarius as possible, it will allow you to avoid much stronger magical attacks. The boss will try to get away from you by jumping, so keep running towards him, though watch out for skulls shot during such a jump. In this phase you should search for opportunity to stun enemy and deal a finishing blow. To do so, shoot in the right moment (weapon swing).

A moment when you can attack enemy for a while - after short time explosion occurs and the second phase starts. - Martyr Logarius - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughA moment when you can attack enemy for a while - after short time explosion occurs and the second phase starts.

When Logarius health bar drops to around 2/3, he will kneel and start glowing. This is your chance to deal him some damage, but it won't take long - make one series, then jump away as the boss will explode. During the second phase enemy starts using attack from the sky and he places post that shoots bullets. You should dispose of the post in first order - being hit doesn't deal much damage, but it cancels your current activity. In this phase Logarius will use physical attacks more often, which gives you chance to stop his attacks and stun him. But watch out for much faster attack that he will do simultaneously with slow swings of his axe.

So, in summary: get as close to him as possible so he won't use magic. Physical attacks are easier to stop, they give you chance for stun and make a finishing blow.

Reward: Crown of Illusions, 25600 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Logarius' Seat respawn point), the possibility to join the Vilebloods covenant.

Battle with Micolash is divided into two phases fought on almost identical, small balconies. - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBattle with Micolash is divided into two phases fought on almost identical, small balconies.

Attacks

- release of snakes - virtually the only attack during the first phase during which the boss throws three snakes in front of him (there might be few quick attacks, one after another), it gives you opportunity for a strong hit

- magic bullet - it deals heavy damage, it is a good tactic not to allow enemy to use it (remaining close to him, canceling his attacks), during the first phase almost not used or used very rarely

- fist attack - few hits, they don't harm you too much

Combat

Boss will quickly run to the first balcony. - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBoss will quickly run to the first balcony.

After the battle start you must find the boss. To do so, at the end of the corridor turn right, then upstairs and again to the right. Micolash will run to a small balcony where the true battle will start.

On your way you shouldn't bother too much with skeletons. If you quickly run (sprint) in the right direction you won't receive any damage. On the stairs you can find 6x Quicksilver bullets.

Important: Items can be collected after the battle by returning to that spot.

Most frequent and almost only attack used in first phase gives you a great chance for counterattack. - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughMost frequent and almost only attack used in first phase gives you a great chance for counterattack.

The first phase of the battle is mostly about avoiding attacks of two skeletons backing up Micolash and jumping away from his only attack (releasing snakes). A good solution is to quickly kill skeletons (they can be lured away from the boss) which will allow you to focus on Micolash. It will save you from dodging right under the weapon of skeleton. It will make battle with Micolash very easy, as long as you remain aggressive (quick attacks) you can attack him by standing behind him, the boss won't be fast enough to make another attack.

Remember that skeletons will respawn after a while, and it is better to jump to side from Micolash attack (if he manages to make one), as when you fall back the snakes can still reach you.

Crossroad, you can return for the items at the bottom after the battle. - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughCrossroad, you can return for the items at the bottom after the battle.

After you reduce boss's health by half he teleports from the balcony. Run through the only exit, then turn right and upstairs. You will find yourself in a place where you can either go to the bottom or follow the boss up.

At the bottom you will find crawling creature (3x Blood Stone Shard), 3x Sedatives and two enemies. If you go even lower, you will find a woman with cleaver and a small crossbowmen. Fighting them will be rewarded with Moon Rune found under the wall at the end.

When you run up to the right you will find 8x Blood Vial near the body so you should stop for a moment. Then run without stopping, pass near two enemies. Then run into fogged territory where you will see Micolash at the top. Run after him to the very top, where he will use mirror to disappear. Then walk back down and through the alcove on the right (Frenzied Coldblood near the body). By now, Micolash should be at the bottom. Jump down and he will run ahead. Follow him (two skeletons, on the window on the left a body hangs with 6x Quicksilver bullets) and you will face a closed gate.

Now return to the top - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now return to the top. In the place shown on the screen, when you have the mirror behind you, walk to the balcony on the right side (Blood Stone Shard near the body). Then through the hole in the window enter a room, at its end jump down (hole in the ground).

By doing so, you will once again face Micolash. Battle with him goes similar as previously (though enemy will be more aggressive). Boss will sometimes hit you with his fists, but this attacks aren't very dangerous. You must be especially cautious of magic bullet which he will now try using more often. The best tactic is not to allow him doing that - if you remain close to Micolash all the time he will prefer to use fists and snakes. Preparations of magic bullet can be also cancelled with accurate hit.

Corridor at the end of which you can easily hit the boss. - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughCorridor at the end of which you can easily hit the boss.

Important: During the battle it might happen that Micolash won't want to run to a dead end. In that case he will be constantly running away from you through windows (there are three of them, one on each level). In that case, you must hit him few times, after that he should enter the balcony. It is easier to do it when, from the room with upper window you jump to the place where the battle should take place. From there, through the corridor, you will be able to attack Micolash from his back and hit him before he starts running. Then follow him (again up, he will run through the window) go left, to the place, where the level with middle mirror will be below. Jumping should force Micolash to return and run into the balcony. If it won't happen, hit him few times or run after him.

Important: Micolash can be as well killed by the tactic shown above, without jumping down from the mentioned balcony at all, instead by running after him, hitting him and forcing him to run through the window.

Important: At the bottom (level with mirror) you will find Iron door key and Kin Coldblood so you should visit that place.

Micolash likes to run through mirrors. - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughMicolash likes to run through mirrors.

In summary: you must twice run after enemy to make him go to the balcony where the real battle takes place. During this game you can ignore the skeletons that will constantly respawn on your way. If you have trouble with forcing enemy to enter the balcony try to hit him few times and make sure that you're not running from the balcony side (Micolash is running away from you, so if you run from the direction where he should go, it will make a conflict for him and he will run in the opposite direction).

Reward: Mensis Cage, 48400 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Mergo Loft: middle respawn point).

Boss is surrounded by enemies that look exactly like him. - Celestial Emissary - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBoss is surrounded by enemies that look exactly like him.

Attacks

- summon minions - during both phases in the lower part of the arena smaller enemies will constantly show, when you kill some - new will appear

- fist attack - occurs in both phases, in first (small size of enemy) it's rather harmless, in second it's much more devastating

- treading - in second phase enemy might tread the player, especially if he is very close

- quick series of hits - few hits one after another, very dangerous attack if you won't dodge first hits

- laser - when the boss spreads his "tentacles" around his head it means that he might use this magic attack, it is signalized by a circle spreading above his head, you can hide behind pillars, it is most dangerous attack of Celestial Emissary.

Combat

Attacks that remove all enemies at once are good choice. - Celestial Emissary - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAttacks that remove all enemies at once are good choice.

In first phase of the battle you can't guess which of blue enemies showing on the arena is the boss. You can recognize him by attacking while group with an attack with greater reach and keeping attention when boss is receiving damage. Then you should focus on him and ignore other enemies.

Small enemies can be lured to stairs and then left there by jumping down - they will return around. - Celestial Emissary - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughSmall enemies can be lured to stairs and then left there by jumping down - they will return around.

If Celestial Emissary's minions give you trouble, you can lure them to the stairs and then to the pillars. When enemies will be getting close jump down - they won't do the same, instead they will return around, giving you some time for 1 vs 1 battle. It is a good way to check who is the true boss - in first phase he won't run after you, instead he will remain on the lower part of the arena.

After growing, boss gains some new attacks. - Celestial Emissary - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter growing, boss gains some new attacks.

When boss receives some damage (about half of his health bar) he will become much larger, so you won't have trouble with recognizing him anymore. When that happens, he will gain some new attacks, from which a series of quick fist attacks is especially dangerous. Try to eliminate smaller enemies (at least of them so that they won't surround you) or lure them away by using the tactic described above. His attacks are mostly well signalized and easy to avoid, so you should be able to make some quick hits.

Tentacles means that he is ready to attack you with laser. - Celestial Emissary - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughTentacles means that he is ready to attack you with laser.

At the end of the battle boss will gain ability to use laser. It will be signalized by spreading tentacles around his head. Tactic doesn't change too much, but from now you must observe Celestial Emissary's behavior more thoroughly. If he spreads his hands around his head and starts forming a bullet, focus on him and make few dodges, one after another. You can also try to hide from this attack behind one of pillars.

Rewards: Communion Rune, 22400 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Lumenflower Gardens respawn point).

Ebrietas has many strong attacks but her back is not well protected. - Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEbrietas has many strong attacks but her back is not well protected.

Attacks

- head smash - boss raises her head and then lowers it crushing the player

- tentacle hit - sweeping move that deals lots of damage; after a successful dodge it allows you to attack the boss from the back which is the best position for attacking

- charge - used mostly when player is away, this attack is hard to avoid so it is wise to remain close to Ebrietas

- blood spit - a brown liquid appears around boss head, then Ebrietas spits (twice) blood towards player, attack has long reach and increase frenzy to critical level

- catch and bite - increase frenzy, it can immediately kill you, it is signalized by widely spreading limbs

- laser shoot - one of most powerful attacks, it can be used in second phase of the battle (around 50% health points). Ebrietas shoots few lasers, three in a row; attack is done from above her head, it can be avoided only by making quick side dodges, if you fail to avoid it, it deals massive damage

- flying, air strike - head smash, similar to standard one, only difference is basic distance that enemy is flying through to get closer to player

- aura - in second phase Ebrietas can create aura that deals damage if you remain close to enemy for some time

Combat

Use starting position to deal some strong hits. - Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughUse starting position to deal some strong hits.

When you move to the boss for the first time he will be neutral, the battle starts when you attack her. During successive tries Ebrietas is standing back to the player which allows you to easily get close to her and deal a fully loaded hit. Remember about this advantage, take some Sedatives as well as some of her attacks might increase your frenzy.

Try to attack enemy from the back as frequently as possible. - Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughTry to attack enemy from the back as frequently as possible.

Ebrietas is a large enemy which means she has long reach of her attacks. And the amount of those attacks is impressive as well. He physical attacks deal lots of damage and sometimes it is hard to avoid them. And there is frenzy and deadly laser attack in second phase of the battle. All those attacks are connected with one thing that you should take advantage of - all of them are done "in front". It means that if you find yourself behind boss you can easily deal some strong hits without worrying about taking damage.

After stunning dont forget about some strong attacks into fragile head. - Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter stunning don't forget about some strong attacks into fragile head.

Although head is the weakest point of the boss, it is hard to hit it unless enemy will leap in a good for you way. Because of that and frontal attacks you must do whatever you can to get to the back of enemy where you will be relatively safe. Not locking your camera on Ebrietas head might help you with that. When you're behind her, deal strong hits at her torso. There is a great chance that by doing so you will stun the boss - she will automatically turn in front of you, which will give you an opportunity for finishing blow or attacking her head. Few such strong hits might again stun her, in perfect scenario you will be able to deal a series of few stuns, one after another, which will greatly reduce boss' health bar.

Laser attack can be avoided with a series of quick, consecutive side jumps. - Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughLaser attack can be avoided with a series of quick, consecutive side jumps.

In second phase of the battle Ebrietas will gain some new attacks, most often she will try to catch player or spit blood. If you're frenzy is quickly increasing, use Sedatives, unless you want to say goodbye to almost whole (or whole, depending on your remaining HP) health bar.

Additionally, Ebrietas can use laser in this phase. From below, when you have only back of the boss in front of you, you might not see this attack coming, which will probably cost you your life. Additionally, watch out not to block yourself in some point of the arena. If you will stand in front of the boss making a correct dodge won't be hard - when you see attack is charging (blue aura), start dodging. Remember, there will be three shoots one after another, so it is better to make one dodge too much than get hit by this very strong attack. Then remember about returning to the back of the enemy, another laser attack won't occur too fast.

Reward: Great Isz Chalice, 28 800 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Altar of Despair respawn point).

Mergos Wet Nurse is a living tank. - Mergos Wet Nurse - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughMergo's Wet Nurse is a living tank.

Attacks

- frontal hit with blades - boss raises two of her many hands above head and then hits them to the ground, giving you a moment for attack; this attack can be also avoided by remaining in front of Mergo's Wet Nurse, perfectly between two blades

- series of hits - boss walks ahead and makes few consecutive swings; despite long reach of attack it is easy to avoid it and get to the back of the enemy, which is a perfect spot to deal few hits

- spreading blades - this attack usually occurs after series of hits, it might deal damage to player standing behind enemy

- a wide swipe from behind - used usually on the right side of the player, very strong and with long reach, easiest way to avoid it is keeping long distance

- sticking knifes - one of attacks that usually ends series, all blades are knocked in one point ahead of boss

- fog - most powerful attack, the boss is creating a violet fog on the arena, then starts walking forward and keeps attacking. Though it is easy to get to the back of Mergo's Wet Nurse (a small chance of being hit, potential small damage), the difficulty is that another enemy shows during the fog, an impostor. Take notice that he usually attacks from your left. The easiest way to avoid this attack is to run around the arena for about one minute, but it will be more effective to combine moving with hitting Mergo's Wet Nurse back.

- disappear - boss disappears for a moment and then shows on the edge of the arena

Combat

Mergo's Wet Nurse is a resistant enemy that attacks mostly in the same, repetitive way - a series of hits, sticking knifes/hit in front, then a wide spread. Learning this pattern will allow you to dodge (usually on the left) and get to enemy back.

Getting to enemy back gives great possibilities for attack. - Mergos Wet Nurse - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughGetting to enemy back gives great possibilities for attack.

You should take position at enemy back especially when he is making a series of blade swings and walk ahead not taking too much interest in player. Avoiding her shouldn't be hard then, move back a bit and make two-three dodges under the blades. It will allow you to get to Mergo's Wet Nurse back, where most of attacks won't reach you and you can deal a few of them yourself. Despite that, still watch out for blades and for enemy turning around after she ends her combo.

After each attack there is a while when you can quickly run towards enemy and deal one, two hits. - Mergos Wet Nurse - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter each attack there is a while when you can quickly run towards enemy and deal one, two hits.

There is another way to defeat enemy, slightly longer, but safer. If you're not good at getting to Mergo's Wet Nurse back, you can fight while keeping her in front of you. After each of her attacks there is a short moment when you can run towards her and attack her. Just remember about making your weapon longer, deal one, maybe two hits and quickly dodge away. Best effects can be achieved by combining two methods: get to enemy back when it is possible, jump forward and attack after every completed attack when there is no chance for getting to enemy back.

Battle in fog is the hardest part but it gives you opportunity to deal lots of damage. - Mergos Wet Nurse - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughBattle in fog is the hardest part but it gives you opportunity to deal lots of damage.

Things get more difficult when enemy summons fog to the arena. It usually happens after depleting around 1/3 of hit points, fog is usually used 2-3 times (if you deal damage quickly, you will reduce the amount of such attacks by killing boss quicker). Mergo's Wet Nurse at that point starts to walk forward and keeps doing the attack you well know. It creates a great opportunity to get to her back, what you should immediately do. Impostor might give you some trouble, he will attack you from time to time - sadly, his attacks are as deadly and strong as the normal ones, done by main boss. Running around the arena might be solution to them as enemy won't be fast enough to get to you (run opposite to clock direction, enemy shows always on the left, if you will have the border of the arena on the right you will avoid all his attacks), but in that case you will lose a great opportunity to deal lots of damage. A good solution is to combine this tactic by both attacking Mergo's Wet Nurse and making lots of dodges while running around.

This is definitely the hardest part of the battle, if you're stuck in it it will be better to focus on avoiding attacks by running. The fog will disappear after around one minute and the impostor will fade away. The battle will take more time, but if "normal" part of it doesn't give you any trouble in might be a better way to win.

Reward: One Third of Umbilical Cord, 72 000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Wet Nurse's Lunarium respawn point).

Gehrman attacks immediately after you enter the arena (in case of failure during first encounter). - Gehrman, the First Hunter - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughGehrman attacks immediately after you enter the arena (in case of failure during first encounter).

Attacks

- wide scythe swing - enemy will make a wide scythe swing and move for a long distance at the same time. The moment when Gehrman prepares for attack gives you a chance to give a shot and stun him

- drag player with a scythe - boss drags the player towards himself with a scythe, if (when being close to Gehrman) you won't make a dodge, boss will throw you to the air and immediately crush you (very large damage)

- roll and shot - after making his weapon shorter (around 3/4 health bar) boss will make faster attacks, his rolling is usually ended with a swing or shot (it cancels your current activity)

- series of hits - few fast attacks finished with a shot

- explosion - from about half of the battle Gehrman will gain a green aura, when he spreads his hands after that a powerful explosion occurs, you must get to safe distance

- swing in the air - another powerful attack, Gehrman jumps to the air and makes a powerful swing with his scythe, you should move as far out of reach as possible or in the opposite direction, under the boss

- stun and finishing blow - in third phase boss can stun player and then make finishing blows

Combat

You start the battle with Gehrman if in final conversation with him you refuse to give away your life. Final ending depends on that, if you sacrifice your life this battle won't occur.

Boss is mostly using physical attacks so wear adequate clothing. If you want to focus on stuns and dealing finishing blows, don't forget about bullets and runes that increase brutal attacks damage.

Scythe on the back? An attack will occur in a moment, and if you shoot before that you can stun the boss for a moment. - Gehrman, the First Hunter - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughScythe on the back? An attack will occur in a moment, and if you shoot before that you can stun the boss for a moment.

During the first phase boss is using long scythe. Gehrman moves slowly, but don't let it fool you - when he gets close to player one of two very fast attacks occurs: scythe swings or dragging enemy. Remember about dodging immediately before the swing, it will also allow you to go around enemy and deal one or two attacks. Scythe swing also gives a perfect opportunity to stun enemy with a shot and then make a finishing blow. Such tactic might give you lots of profits if you shoot at right time. Otherwise you risk an attack that you won't be able to dodge.

When boss shortens his weapon, be ready for frequent rolls ended with a shot. - Gehrman, the First Hunter - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhen boss shortens his weapon, be ready for frequent rolls ended with a shot.

In second phase Gehrman shortens his weapon. His attacks becomes slightly faster, he will come to the player slowly and in final moment he will roll. After the roll a quick hit will occur or shot that cancels your current activity. It is still possible to stun Gehrman but it is harder (faster attacks), if you have trouble with that you should make your weapon longer and make fully loaded attack in the right moment so that enemy receives damage immediately after rolling. By doing so you can, by moving constantly back, deal single hits and Gehrman won't have a chance to deal serious damage.

During the change to third phase of the battle you can safely deal some damage to boss. - Gehrman, the First Hunter - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDuring the change to third phase of the battle you can safely deal some damage to boss.

In third phase of the battle (about half of boss health bar) he will stand for a moment (you should attack him then, he is powerless) and gain a green aura around himself. Now he will have some new deadly attacks added to the previous ones (he will use both long and short weapon and attacks from previous phases). One of them, easier to avoid, is explosion - Gehrman will spread his hands (as at the beginning of this phase) and load his energy for a moment. After that a powerful explosion occurs - you better be out of its reach. During the load time you can attack enemy but you risk being hit by explosion. Second attack is jumping and releasing airflow at player. It's much harder to avoid that attack, it is better to be away from the boss than run in the opposite direction, behind his back. Both attacks deal massive damage and might be decisive for the outcome of battle.

Right timing will give you a chance for dealing a finishing blow. - Gehrman, the First Hunter - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughRight timing will give you a chance for dealing a finishing blow.

The battle is similar as before, when boss is holding scythe watch out for dragging and attacks with long reach, and now for air jumps as well. When he shortens his weapon you must additionally watch out for his rolls and shots as he can stun you and make a finishing blow. The tactic doesn't change, it is still possible to stun enemy and make a finishing blow.

During the battle you can choose two tactics. First one focuses on stunning and dealing finishing blows. It might be very profitable, but you must learn the moment when the bullet stuns enemy (short time when he prepares to swing). Second tactic is to keep enemy at distance and fully loading attacks when he gets close. With Hunter Axe it is possible to throw away and knock down enemy almost with each attack. After knocking him down you additionally have some time to quickly deal more hits. It is slightly safer and more time consuming (distance to enemy), but effective tactic.

Reward: Old Hunter Badge, 128000 Blood Echoes, game ending or (after meting certain conditions) battle with another, final boss.

You fight Moon Presence on the same arena as Gehrman. - Moon Presence - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou fight Moon Presence on the same arena as Gehrman.

Attacks

- paw attack- the opponents executes three successive attacks in a combo; it is relatively easy to avoid those attacks and dodging the third one allows you to get behind the boss's back and land your own two, or three.

- jump and crush - if you get away from the boss, he tries nearing you by taking a long jump; the damage it deals is high but, the attack is signaled beforehand and you only need a single dash to the side to dodge it

- tentacle lash - the opponent lies his left hand on the ground, takes a swift turn, attacks the player with tentacles and tips you over; you can dodge the attack by dashing back.

- white orbs and dripping blood- the boss summons several white orbs that pop. Then, in their place, blood starts dripping from the sky. If you are hit, you will be unable to use Blood Vials for around 20 seconds, which is represented by the icon in the upper-left corner (right next to quick items).

- red blast - a powerful AoE attack that leaves you with ONE health point. Although this sounds threatening, things are not that bad - after the attack, there are several seconds, for which the boss remains motionless. If you dash up to the opponent right after you take damage, there is a high chance of replenishing all of the lost health and deal lots of damage, at the same time. After the boss's health drops to a third, the attack, additionally, makes it impossible to use Blood Vials (for around 20s). You can try to dodge this attack by getting away from the boss, to the other end of the arena, or by dashing behind his back but, if you take damage, try to replenish as many health points as possible.

The fight

The fight with this boss takes place only if you have consumed 3x One Third of Umbilical Cord beforehand. Then, after you refuse to give your life to Gehrman and defeat him, the fight starts automatically. It is easier than fighting the hinter, but the depleted Blood Vials after the previous fight makes it definitely harder. Still, you can easily let yourself be killed and start the battle over, after you have replenished your supplies- you will not have to fight Gehrman any more.

Dodging at the right moment allows you to attack the bosss back. - Moon Presence - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughDodging at the right moment allows you to attack the boss's back.

During the final fight, it is a good idea to remain within medium distance of the boss. He attack mainly with his paws and these are not difficult to dodge. Especially good opportunity for you presents itself after you have dodged the third attack in the row. Thanks to this, you get behind the boss's back and he walks a bit forward, which exposes his back to your attacks. You can use this tactic effectively, throughout the entire battle, because Moon Presence keeps using this attack, even though he receives some new ones.

If you get hit with blood, you cannot use Blood Vials. - Moon Presence - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you get hit with blood, you cannot use Blood Vials.

More or less, starting with the middle of the fight, you will have to watch out for two more AoE attacks. The first one is the white orbs that pop after a while. Then, the arena is rained with blood and you cannot use Blood Vials temporarily. You then need to rely on regaining your health or, without taking the risk, keep escaping from the boss to avoid taking damage.

After the powerful AoE attack, you still have a moment to dash up to the boss and replenish some of your health. - Moon Presence - Boss Fights - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter the powerful AoE attack, you still have a moment to dash up to the boss and replenish some of your health.

The other attack is the powerful blast that covers the better part of the arena. For this reason, dodging this attack may be impossible. Therefore, it is best to get prepared for what follows the blast. - the boss's inactivity for 4-5 seconds. You can then easily dash up to him and land several blows, which will restore some (or even all) of the lost health. This becomes especially important when the boss only has a third of his health left. Taking damage then makes it temporarily impossible to use Blood Vials. Therefore, it is important that you dart towards the enemy and regain your health.

Summary: try to avoid the boss' physical attacks, which gets you behind his back. This is an ideal position for attacking. Repeating the dodge- dodge-attack pattern will suffice to win the battle. In the case of magical attacks, make sure that you are not near the white orb and replenish your health after each red blast. If you are low on health, and you temporarily cannot use Blood Vials, wait through the moment and get away from the boss, as far as possible. Wait until the negative effect wears off and allows you to heal.

Reward: 230000 Blood Echoes.

Remember to take cover from the hail. - Djura - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughRemember to take cover from the hail.

Djura is a hunter that you meet in the Old Yharnam. Each time you walk under the tower, atop of which he is, you will be fired at. Djura is, therefore, by default, hostile towards you but, after you meet certain requirements, he will be neutral towards you.

The fight with Djura

Atop the tower, you will fight Djura. - Djura - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAtop the tower, you will fight Djura.

After you climb the ladders to the top of the tower, you will meet the hunter that fired at you. The fight is mainly about dodging his shots, because they deal the highest damage (if you come too close). Also, you can try a little ruse and push the opponent out of the small area, with a combo of blows (make sure that you do not fall yourself). Thanks to defeating the opponent, you will not be fired at, the next time you are around. Also, you receive 875 Blood Echoes and Powder Keg Hunter Badge.

Note: If Djura falls down and you are unable to pick the badge he dropped, it is possible that you need to load this location once again and climb the ladder again. The item is next to the weapon that the hunter used.

Avoid the fight with Djura

You do not really need to fight with Djura. For this to be possible, talk to him the first time you are in Old Yharnam and do not attack him (do not climb the ladder), also, leave the other hunter alone.

Climb up the ladder - instead of attacking you, the hunter stands in the center and it will now be possible to talk to him. For Djura to remain neutral, it is necessary that you pick the "Spare the Beasts of the Old Yharnam". You will then receive the Powder Keg Hunter Badge and a gesture Brush Off Dust. Djura will not fire at you anymore, if you do not attack anyone, within his sight (the opponents in the front of the tower will attack you anyways).

Djura becomes hostile (permanently), when:

- you attack the hunter,

- during the conversation, you pick the "Hunt the Beasts of the Old Yharnam" dialogue option,

- you agree to spare the beasts, but you attack the opponents in front of the tower (this does not go for crows).

You start at the clinic that takes its name after Iosefka, who offers shelter here. At the very beginning, after the first visit at the Hunter's Dream, and up until you visit Cathedral ward, you can return here to talk to Iosefka at the door, and receive a Iosefka Blood vial each time (only if you have used up the previous one).

Earlier meeting with Iosefka

In the clinic, in the corridor on the left (from the window that you climb to enter for the first time), you find a door on the right . Iosefka is up the stairs but, she warns you against climbing the stairs. After you get upstairs, a fight ensues immediately.

While behind the bench, you can avoid some of the attacks, but you are then vulnerable to getting stuck, while performing dodges. - Iosefka - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughWhile behind the bench, you can avoid some of the attacks, but you are then vulnerable to getting stuck, while performing dodges.

The fight with the opponent is difficult but you can make it easier, if you watch out for the signaled attack that deals lots of damage. Your opponent releases snakes from her hand and, if you manage to avoid them, the opponent remains motionless, for a moment, which exposes her to attacks. As for the whip and bullets, you can avoid taking a hit by remaining behind a bench or a chair (the whip combo deals lots of damage). Still, you need to watch out while dodging, because you may get stuck, because it is especially difficult to maneuver the character in this narrow room. It is much better to exit the room and fight by the stairs, where there is a bit more room. For winning the fight, you receive 3200 Blood Echoes and Oedon Writhing rune.

Meeting Iosefka again

Iosefka during a meeting later into the game. - Iosefka - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIosefka during a meeting later into the game.

Iosfeka, after the fight with Rom, The Vacuous Spider, can be found in the same place as before. However, while climbing the stairs, you will not receive any warning and after you enter the room, you note Iosefka lying on the bench. She is neither talkative nor dangerous. Kill her to receive One Third of Umbilical Cord.

The window to the girls room. - Young Yharnam girl (Violas Daughter) - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe window to the girl's room.

In Central Yharnam, on the square with the fountain, there is a gate, from behind which you can hear a music box playing. In the window, you can talk to a small girl. To get there, you need to visit the Aqueduct and exit at the other side. During the conversation, agree to find her mother and you receive a Tiny Music Box (you can use it while fighting Gascoigne).

In front of the gate to Cathedral ward, turn left to find the brooch - Young Yharnam girl (Violas Daughter) - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn front of the gate to Cathedral ward, turn left to find the brooch

After the fight with Father Gascoigne, approach the closed gate, over the stairs, the key for which you receive. While in front of the gate, go left and reach the end, where you can jump down to a roof below. On the corpse, you find a Red Jeweled Brooch.

Take the item back to the window. It would be best if you kept the brooch for yourself, which you can trade for the red Gem to upgrade your weapon with. Tell the girl about a safe place, i.e. Oedon Chapel. After you give information about Iosefka Clinic you receive from Iosefka (after you visit her) Lead Elixir. However, you do not find the cloth in the sewers, then, which results in the quest being ended prematurely.

After the conversation with the girl, return to the sewers and kill the giant pig. - Young Yharnam girl (Violas Daughter) - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter the conversation with the girl, return to the sewers and kill the giant pig.

Then, reload the location and go to the sewers. In there, find the wild pig in the final tunnel. If you have returned the brooch, or told the girl about the safe chapel, after you defeat the pig, you find the Red Messenger Ribbon.

However, you find the other girl dead. - Young Yharnam girl (Violas Daughter) - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughHowever, you find the other girl dead.

Your next step is to return to the window, where you have talked to the girl. Do this after you have defeated Rom, the Vacuous Spider. In the window, this time, you find the girl's older sister. Give her the Red Messenger Ribbon, and load the location again (e.g. by using the Hunter Badge). All in all, go to the same location, climb down the ladder, where you find a single opponent and the dead girl. Loot her body for the White Messenger Ribbon.

You can talk to Gilbert after you leave Iosefka Clinic, at the beginning of the game. - Gilbert - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou can talk to Gilbert after you leave Iosefka Clinic, at the beginning of the game.

Gilbert is one of the first, if not the first dweller of Yharnam, who you can talk to across the window. You find him in front of the first lit lantern. By talking to him several times, throughout the entire game, you will learn several hints and curiosities about the game world. After you defeat Father Gascoigne (before the fight with Cleric Beast) or after you defeat both of them, Gilbert will also act on your side - you receive Flamesprayer from him.

After you return here, you find Gilbert turned into a beast. - Gilbert - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAfter you return here, you find Gilbert turned into a beast.

Gilbert cannot be saved. You will see it, after you have defeated Rom, the Vacuous Spider. Gilbert breaks out the bars in his window and will be around as a beast, which attacks you. For defeating the opponent, you will be rewarded with Clawmark rune.

In the Aqueduct in Central Yharnam, around several dog cages, you can enter sewers from the side presented in the screenshot - Eileen - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the Aqueduct in Central Yharnam, around several dog cages, you can enter sewers from the side presented in the screenshot. Right after you enter the building, smash the crates and jump don, carefully, onto the wooden platform below. Take a look around and you find two hanging corpses here - cut the ropes to get them down (you can return for them later on). However, your destination is the small room to the right of the window that you climbed to get here. Outside, you find hunter Eileen. Talk to her and you will receive 4x Hunter Badge. After you talk to her again, you will also be rewarded with a gesture Shake Off Cape.

You find Eileen right after you leave Odeon Chapel. - Eileen - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou find Eileen right after you leave Odeon Chapel.

After you open the gate to the central yard (two larger opponents with axes) right after you cross the exit across Odeon Chapel, on the left, you find Eileen (if you have already talked to her in the Aqueduct). You receive a gesture from her and information that advises you against going to Oedon Tomb.

Help Eileen during the fight in Oedon Tomb. - Eileen - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughHelp Eileen during the fight in Oedon Tomb.

After you reload the location, that is where you find Eileen (the lantern in Hunter's Dream is currently disabled, return to the chapel and return to where you fought Gascoigne). She is fighting other hunter. Help her (make sure that you do not hit your ally too often or she will turn against you)/ From the corpse of Henryk, pick up the Heir rune, talk to Eileen and you will receive an additional gesture Approval.

Note: During the fight, Eileen may die, which makes completing her quest impossible. After Henryk arrives here (he appears as the first one) do not wait and attack him. Deal as much damage as possible, before Eileen joins the fight.

Eileen on the stairs in front of the Grand Cathedral. - Eileen - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEileen on the stairs in front of the Grand Cathedral.

The last time that you meet Eileen is after you deal with Rom, The Vacuous Spider. She is lying wounded atop the stairs to the Grand Cathedral. Talk to her to learn about an enemy hunter. Also, you receive a gesture Wait.

The fight with the hunter in the Grand Cathedral is very demanding. - Eileen - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe fight with the hunter in the Grand Cathedral is very demanding.

Inside, you find the hunter. The opponent slowly approaches you but, right before the attack, he has the tendency to disappear for a moment and appear on one of your sides to deal damage with a shot. For this reason, throughout the entire battle, you should keep him at a distance and hit when he is dashing towards you or, if your weapon is fast enough, do not get too far away and try for a short distance fight. He opponent like jumping away and using his powerful firearm - make sure that you do not take two bullets in a row, or you will also be exposed to a powerful finishing attack, which may be the final nail in your coffin. The hunter once uses Blood Vials, unless you cast Numbing Mist first. He can do the same so, be careful - if you are affected, you will temporarily be unable to use Blood Vials. It is best to dart out of the Grand Cathedral then and wait through the moment - the hunter should let you go at the door. Then, after it is possible to heal yourself, return inside and continue fighting. This trick can also be used, when the opponent is transforming his weapon, while losing health points - it is possible that if you disappear from his sight, he forgets to transform the weapon again and will have lost health in vain, or die without you intervening.

After the fight, collect the rune Blood Admiration. Then, in front of the Grand Cathedral, talk to Eileen - from her, you receive Crow Hunter Badge and rune Hunter (connected with joining the Hunters of Hunters covenant).

Note: If you miss any of the quest's stages, you will be attacked by Eileen if you visit the Grand Cathedral after the fight with Rom, The Vacuous Spider.

The questgiver may die also - he drops the Formless Oedon rune. - Find a safe place - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe questgiver may die also - he drops the Formless Oedon rune.

After you enter Cathedral ward, talk to the NPC there (to the right). Do this twice and you receive information on safety in Oedon Chapel. The other safe place is in Iosefka Clinic - get back to her and talk to her, across the locked door. From now on, you can mention either of the places to the NPCs that you meet during your exploration.

Note: After you send the first person to the Odeon Chapel, talk to the NPC inside again, to receive the gesture Triumph. In general, it is much more profitable to send people to the Odeon Chapel, because at Iosefka Clinic you only receive the Blue Elixir/Lead Elixir. The other thing, a much more important one, is that the heroes turn into blue opponents, because Iosefka conducts experiments on survivors. After you visit the clinic again (across the cave in Forbidden Woods), you will be able to kill them for items that they would normally drop after their death.

Note2: remember to talk to NPCs as soon as possible. Defeating some of the bosses (e.g. Vicar Amelia, Rom, the Vacuous Spider) makes this impossible later on.

The old Lady

In front of the old ladys house, you find a baying dog. - Find a safe place - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIn front of the old lady's house, you find a baying dog.

You can find the Old Lady in Central Yharnam. You get to her either after you exit the sewers, or from the other side, as you head towards the lantern, across the house (the gate on the left)m and ahead, among dog cages.

After you send her to the chapel, you first receive nothing from her but, later on, she will be nicer towards you. After you talk to her, you receive 1, 2 and 3 Sedatives respectively. Then, the lady disappears for a moment and leaves a letter behind. After she is back, you can receive more Sedatives, but this time she disappears or good. You can find her body in the chapel, with more Sedatives.

Courtesan Arianna

The door with Arianna behind it. - Find a safe place - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe door with Arianna behind it.

Arianna is in Cathedral ward. While facing the gate to the main yard, climb to the very bottom, on the left. After you defeat the opponents, talk to the person behind the door on the far left. As soon as you kill the three bosses, he asks you about safety.

In Odeon Chapel, you receive gesture Bow from the person. Also, you can use the blood that you receive from the person, which has healing abilities (up until you kill Rom, the Vacuous Spider). After you kill Micolash, you can take the NPC to Oedon Tomb, where Arianna is having a child (right after you climb down the ladder into the flooded room). Kill the child (she also dies, automatically), and you receive Bury Arianna and One Third of Umbilical Cord.

Skeptical man

The Skeptical Man is in the window, opposite the door in which you talked to Arianna. If you told her about safety, talk to the window twice and the man will return the question. Tell him about the lace, where you do not want him do go, because he will then go to the other one (if you tell him about Iosefka Clinic, you will then met him in the Odeon Chapel and the other way around). There are no interesting events, connected with the man, After his death, you only find 3x Pungent Blood Cocktail.

Nun Adella

Put appropriate outfit on to talk to Adella. - Find a safe place - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughPut appropriate outfit on to talk to Adella.

To meet Adella, you need to defeat the Blood-starved Beast in Old Yharnam. Thanks to this, new opponents - catchers- appear around the location. After you are killed by an opponent of this type, you will get to the Underground Jail. Adella is at the very bottom so, exit thee cage and go right, where you find stairs. To talk to her, you need to have the outfit from the Healing Church (e.g. White Church Garb, Black Church Garb, Gascoigne's Garb). Talk to her twice and she asks you if you know of any safe place.

In the chapel , you receive from her a gesture Church Bow (female). Also, you can take advantage of her blood treatment, whose functioning is similar to Arianna's blood.

Note: Adella may kill Arianna, out of jealousy, if you use Arianna's Blood more than three times. For safety, you may either not use the blood, or kill Adella after you receive the gesture.

Suspicious beggar

You meet the man on the roof, among corpses. - Find a safe place - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou meet the man on the roof, among corpses.

You meet him in the woods, on the roof of the house right past the opponent, who fires his cannon at you. To get to the top, jump down, to the roofing below, right after you enter the dark room. There, on the left, you find a ladder over which you get to the top. The next passage leads to the roofing on which you find the man.

You can send him to the chapel, but he will then wait in front of the entrance and kill every survivor, one after another. For this, you receive a Beast Blood Lump.

If you take several steps back, on the rooftop, the enemy will get stuck in the door and make it easier for you to deal damage. - Find a safe place - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf you take several steps back, on the rooftop, the enemy will get stuck in the door and make it easier for you to deal damage.

As a matter of fact, the man is not who he seems to be. The reason, for which he kills others is that he is a powerful beast - a miniature version of Darkbeast Pearl. To find this out, attack him on the rooftop, several times, to see the transformation.

Also, you can attack him after you send him to the chapel, where he will be taking quite a damage, after his transformation. For the fight, you receive the rune Beast.

In Bloodborne, there are three covenants that you can join. Each one has its leader and they all follow different rules. This is mainly important for multiplayer mode. The players may rise in ranks of their covenants by fighting each other, if they happen to be members of enemy groups.

To join a covenant, you need a special rune and to make an oath, by putting the rune on - Covenant choice - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and Walkthrough

To join a covenant, you need a special rune and to make an oath, by putting the rune on. Covenant runes occupy the last, fourth, slot in rune slots and they are different from the other runes with a much brighter background. Activating a rune for a given covenant means that you automatically become a member of the group. However, at any point, you can go to Hunter's Dream, to change the rune, which results in changing the active covenant.

After you meet certain requirements, you receive badges from leaders, which allow you to buy special weapons or outfits.

Vilebloods

Queen Annalise. - Covenant choice - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughQueen Annalise.

The leader of the covenant is Annalise, the Queen of the Vilebloods. To find her, after you defeat Martyr Logarius in Cainhurst Castle, you can put on his crown to reveal a secret passage. By kneeling in front of the queen, you can make an oath and receive rune Contamination (if you are at the brink of dying, it increases the rate of health regeneration).

Vilebloods are enemies towards Executioners - two members of different covenants, after they appear in the same world, become hostile.

Executioners

Alfred, along his path to Forbidden Woods. - Covenant choice - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughAlfred, along his path to Forbidden Woods.

A covenant that you can access via Alfred (the quest connected with him). You find him, for the first time, in Cathedral ward, behind the chapel which you cross to enter Old Yharnam, and then while coming down to Forbidden Woods. After you complete his quest (which is connected with Annalise), Alfred gives you rune Radiance (it increases the number of health points restored by Blood Vials).

Hunters of Hunters

Eileen, in front of the Grand Cathedral. - Covenant choice - Side quests - Bloodborne - Game Guide and WalkthroughEileen, in front of the Grand Cathedral.

The last covenant is led by Eileen. To obtain the rune, you need to complete her quest that consists of four stages. Remember not to miss any one of them or Eileen will then be hostile towards you, in Grand Cathedral. Hunter Rune, which is the covenant rune, increases the rate of constitution regeneration.

In the case of two players, of the same covenant, being present in one world, there is a chance that they will become enemies.
