Bloodborne ► Things You Missed in Cathedral Ward 

I know this is an old video, but I like how you can just say "that room where you rolled through all the pots" and everybody who's played the game instantly knows exactly where you're talking about since there's a 99.9% chance we all did it.

6:30 "Die to it on purpose" Yeaaahhhh, I know right... I totaly died to it... on purpose...

5:29 with that beat in the background, she sounds like she's spitting some sick bars

Wow, so that closed door is actually closed for everyone? I don't feel so bad now.

"When the hunt began, the Healing Church abandoned us, blocking the great bridge to the Cathedral Ward, as they burned Old Yharnam to the ground on that moonlit night." Thats why that door is there but sealed ;)

"hoonting of hoonters"

I kept the little girl alive by sending her to Iosefkas clinic :) Edit: crap she became an alien

I just think its really cool that the entire map connects. It reminds you that the entire time, you've always been in Yharnam, you've never left. Knowing that the locked door leads back to the great bridge is just MIND-BLOWING. The attention to detail is amazing.

leave the hoonting of hoonters to me

Want another thing you may have missed? Notice that the dead corpse you get the hunter garb is sitting next to candle sticks that are lit and that standing over him too long causes a shadowy limb to teleport you. The garb you get has a large collar and tophat. All of these traits coincide with Marvelous Chester from Dark Souls who was snatched by a shadowy limb and dragged off to the past. He stands next to candles, wears a very similar looking outfit to the one you find on the corpse. Perhaps poor old Chester didn't have enough frenzy resistance to survive the grab. Another fun fact as that after defeating Mergo's Wet Nurse, Viola's body disappears from the area you find her. Also playing the music box while fighting the Wet nurse will make it dodge as if you attacked it, as well as killing it will make Mergo laugh before it dies. Interesting implications...

Also! You can wear Gascoignes garb while saving Adella. It’s pretty cool since Gascoigne was a part of the Healing Church, but you could probably just wear any church related garb and it would work.

Fun fact: You can also send Adella to Oedon Chapel by wearing Gascoigne's armor, because he used to be a Healing Church hunter, so they designed his garb similarly to the Black Church hunters.

This will probably get burried, but there is something that have been bothering me about Gascoine's Daughter for a long time. SPOILER WARNING! You see when you kill Rom and activate the Blood Moon pretty much everything goes to shit. Any NPCs you did not send to the Chapel will go mad, die or turn into beasts. All except the girl in the window that claims to be the sister of the girl you've met before. Why I say claims? Because Gascoine's daughter has a very interesting line of dialogue: "Yes okay, thank you very much mister hunter! I love you almost as much as mum and dad, and grandad!" She mentions even her grandfather, but not her older sister? And where was her older sister all that time? Why wasn't she at the window? Why didn't she react in any way to a strange hunter talking to her little sister? How did she not see her leaving? The girl is very suspicious to me. You can give her the ribbon and she'll get very sad and cry. If you wait a little longer at the window you'll hear her laughing at how beatiful the ribbon is and how it's now hers. Most people assumed the poor girl just went insane at this point. Later you find her at the bottom of the ladder leading up to that window, dead with a white cleaned ribbon on her. Also we know that the "older sister" was not in the house when we were visiting, because of this line: "I'm all alone... and scared..." All in all, it just doesn't quite add up. Unfortunately, I don't get what all of this means, but maybe someone has any ideas. P.S. Also Vaati is a bit wrong about the old lady. It's not guaranteed that she'll die if she goes out to find more sedatives. She may just get back safely and offer them to you again, but it seems there is always a chance that she won't make it each time.

So, Henryk managed to kill Eileen when I tried to confront him. Only a hit left and Henryk is done for, so I decided to give Eileen the last hit (not really, I was busy healing myself in the back while she's being repeatedly shot by Henryk). When I noticed Eileen didn't do anything, I charged a thrust attack just before Henryk killed Eileen. I missed, got repeatedly shot, and then pwned. When I came back to the spot, she wasn't there. Only thing I can find is the Crow Hunter's Badge or whatever it is. Now I'm engulfed in sadness, spamming the "shhh" gesture in the Crowfeather garb while crying in the corner of my room.

“Cthulhu monster” oh what times those were

5 years later I'm still watching these videos, fuck I love bloodborne

Vaati. Summon Gascoigne and play the tiny music box. He chuckles a bit.

Ah Vaat....or some say Vaati.... Do you hear our requests As you once did for the vacuous Darksydephil Grant us lore....Grant us LORE!!!

So *you’re* the reason everyone keeps throwing numbing mist at me.

So on the first one: I heard some rumours, that in the beta we could actually reach catedral ward from the Clerick beast arena trough that door, but from for some reason cancelled that. And i think they made that choice, because If it was an option, noobies would simply skip our favorite father and come back later, or never even ecount him. There is 2 major problem with that! 1, casuals would miss the boss, that teach maybe the best, how we deal with human like bosses. And 2, the lore and npc questline.

That door probably was never able to be opened. If yo enter the abandoned house that is a shortcut to the cleric beast you can find a note saying the church locked the door connecting the Cathedral Ward and Central Yarnham

One thing that I found on my second playthrough of the game was that the elevator that goes up to the Healing Church Workshop actually has one more stop, it just doesn't stop to let you off. If you turn around instead of facing the way you were, you can clearly see the opening as it is going up and if you time it well enough you can roll off into the doorway that's around halfway up the elevator. You can then follow a path that leads to some decent loot and an unreachable area by any other means.

The insight thing is very suprising! I remember being grab by that thing, never got too far into the game to find out what grab me...very scary. Am installing the game now

It actually says in a note within that one dark house at the beginning of the game that the way to cathedral ward was blocked at the bridge, this makes that door being locked completely canon!

What are you still doing here? Enough trembling in your boots. A hoonter must hoont.

You forgot to mention Arianna gives birth to a celestial larva that drops one third umbilical cord when killed (also kills Arianna) after defeating Micolash.

8:23 I wished you would've shown where the Ludwig Holy Blade is cause that's something I missed.

YOU CAN SUMMON GASCOIGNE! ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Gascoigne's attire also gives you the ability to send Adella to one of the safe places. And you don't have to reload your game after talking to Eileen about Henryk to fight him. Even Eileen will be at the graveyard. It's a short run too.

So i'm surprised no one has said this. Eileen is the crow in this game just like the crows in the last 3 games, only difference is she isn't a merchant for random items.

You missed the secret room while going up the elevator

8:45 I have died so many times trying to land on that properly!

you also missed a secret hole in the wall on the elevator in the cathedral, on the back side

It's a DLC door leading to the moonlight greatsword and fifth ending.

That door in the first point is locked. The man at the window at the Central Yharnam lantern mentions that the path to Cathedral Ward from the Great Bridge has been closed off.

3:34 OH that's what it is. Literally thought I was getting attacked by a random black hole hahaha.

Just thought it'd be interesting to note that the Priestess lady in the prison can be brought to the Ward with not only the black church set, but also the white one as well. Totally pointless information, but it's cool that more than one church set can work.

God damn how the fuck do people comment like a millisecond after the video is uploaded

4:50 "Leave the hoonting of hoonters to me." Was that you, Vaati, or was it the game? XD

On my first play through I missed "the hunter of hunters" 2nd appearance and fond her and Henryk fighting, Henryk won and I killed him and until now thought he was an invading player. Thanks for the clarification!

Vaati you forgot one thing! Eileen the crow (I think was the name) has one final confrontation in the grand cathedral after the blood moon is activated! She fails a fight against a knight that has the blood katana and, after you kill the knight, Eileen dies and gives you all her belongings, including the Hunter of Hunters caryll run.

I don't even own BloodBorne but still really enjoy your content on it, really interesting to know about all the little details they put into the game. These videos also help me to still be conversation worthy with all my friends that have moved to BloodBorne so thank you for that! 😄

Mate I love your narration on your videos for Bloodborne. I’m a noob, been playing a few months on and off, only just got past Vicar Amelia. I can’t imagine the months / years of solid work you’ve done on this. Anyway, your videos are captivating and great to watch. Just shows how incredibly complex Bloodborne is

The little girl was eaten...How morbid.... I LOVE IT, GO BLOODBORNE!

"Hoonting of Hoonters" I see what you did there Vaati

Welp I was going to sleep but this is way more entertaining

I wonder, if you told Gascoigne's daughter to go to Oedon Chapel after killing all the enemies in the sewers. Could she actually be saved ?

why would you ever want to kill Alfred hes such a nice guy

I've read that if you choose to take the Red Amulet to the little girl, if you go back to that window later after retrieving the Red Ribbon you'll find the little girl's older sister. You can tell her of her sister's demise and she'll walk out of the house and commit suicide by jumping down the ladder to the right. She drops the White Messenger Ribbon. I smashed the gem though cos I was struggling and needed the damage boost and apparently this option isn't available to people who smashed the gem. I've not tested it myself but it's on one of the BB wiki's.

4:51 - I'll leave the hoonting of hoonters to you, Vaati. ^_^

U can also use gascoignes set for saving adella, u can buy it for insight after killing him And there is a third location which is on the roof of the cathedral ward. Keep an eye out for a passway when going up with the lift.

Really awesome video. Thanks for putting this one together. I had no idea about any of these secrets. Wish I'd known them before I screwed up a few story lines in my first playthrough. Thanks again.

Interesting that you're treating the drop down to that dark bit at the bottom of the tower as a secret. In my mind that was always the "proper" route, with the pay-2-open gate being a shortcut.

Something not mentioned in the video is rolling off the elevator leading to Ludwigs location. There is a drop off point facing behind you if you are heading upwards, which loops back around to above the cathedral helper to get the Oedon Writhe rune. I missed this in my first four playthroughs.

i miss these.... also thank for showing the drop to the shop. ive died so many times because of that increased initial horizontal fall movement thing. and once you showed me a good angle i got it first try.

6:24 - afaik snatchers appear not only after blood starved beast death, but after collecting 19 insight (or some other value, I'm not sure). Just a small addition to your wonderful video, got a lot of useful information from it. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I watched all three of the videos you have on this weapon and this is the only one I could do at the moment. Also farming those spiders has a pretty good payout. For the love of god don't let them get behind you.

After the Blood-starved Beast is dead, the door near the first lantern in Cathedral Ward which you take to get to the healing workshop- As the elevator is going up, turn around and there is a secret pathway halfway up the elevator shaft that brings you out to an area above that first lantern. Some collectables up there.

You forgot to mention the NPC you can interact with inside a house after you kill the beast that drops the “beast” rune at the bottom of the healing church well. His house can be found on the right hand side a few doors down and he gives you a “gall stone” that lets you get transported to the area in Yharnam with all the Amygdalla’s that shoot lazer beams. I forget the name of the area. Hope this helps

Regarding Adella, you can use a chest piece from any of: Black/White Church set Executioner's set Gascgoine's set Choir set Tomb Prospector's set Only the chest piece triggers her dialogue, so there is no need to wear the full set except for stats or fashion. Also, I believe she only dies if she is not saved before the blood moon, so withholding and coming back is most certainly an option. This means only the Choir set is not accessible to you before she dies in standard NG.

Just a heads up on one secret you didn't touch on. When you are going up the elevator in the chapel if you turn around on your way up there is a window you can walk out into an area with some special items. I hope you do more of these videos for each area! Thanks

The NPC in Forbidden Woods who turns into a man-beast, can also be sent to the chapel, he gives you beast blood pellets but other NPC'S will be killed off (Not sure if he killed them) but the old lady and the guy who gives you the quest to recruit NPC'S gets killed. You also stated that the old lady leaves to find more sedatives. On my play through, blood is around anywhere an NPC used to be. But I'm sure you knew all of that 💎😃

4:50 I've seen this before and often, but this one was so unexpected it actually got me. Nice.

I think there's one more thing you can discuss. The secret area that is above the lamp in Cathedral Ward spawn point. You can access it after the Blood-Starved Beast. Take the elevator that leads to the Healing Workshop but as you'e going up/down the elevator, there's a section you can enter while still on the elevator. May not be lore specific but I think it's something a lot of players both old and new may have missed.

My guessing with that closed door, I think it has to do with the Cleric Beast. I'm thinking that perhaps at one time at development, Father Gasginov would have been optional, perhaps you'd only need to kill the beast, and you'd then be able to enter that door near the bridge, and you'd enter that pot room.

I killed Alfred and I felt bad ;3; Alfred: "You'll... Regret this..." Well he's right.

4:51 "Leave the hoonting of hoonters to me" 🐦‍⬛

One thing I noticed you said in another video is how in the cut dialogs more characters were aware of the dream and you wished this to remain true. Something to that effect. Anyways the temple dweller of Oden temple does just this in his final dialog. He asks to be friends but knows at the end of the night he will do it all over again, he always does.

Damn dude I wish you had made more videos like this. Really helpful.

And you missed Formless Odeon and Urn Messenger decoration from the elevator to Healing Workshop

You completely forgot the girl and secret elevator at the bottom of the Cathedral that gives you the immortal rune, which by the way makes you invincible for ten seconds every time you use it and makes the game so much easier! During the fight with Vicar you have to die initially to get the fog blocking the door, then make sure you have at least 25 Insight, when you approach the top of the stairs you will notice the fog on the door lifts after about every few seconds, if you time it right you will go through the fog vs pressing the button to enter, if it worked correctly Vicar will NOT be in the room, go to the back wall and wait until you get a cut scene showing a mysterious girl going through the east wall, there will now be a passage in the wall you can enter. There is a huge circular staircase you have to run down which will take you literally about five minutes, there you will find the girl sitting there in a chair next to an elevator, she will not move or respond until you get into the elevator and she will stand up, DO NOT STEP ON THE STONE to go up, this will cause the game to glitch and you will not return to this area unless you start a new game, instead go back out of the elevator and start walking back up the stairs, you will hear a scream and then walk back down to return to find the girl missing and in the chair there with the glowing item, grab the rune and use the elevator, now I would recommend equipping the rune immediately because you will be facing a room full of enemies when the elevator stops, five crows, two hunters, and about ten humans, tough battle but it can be done without the rune, regardless once you defeat the enemies a save point appears and you can transport back to the main areas. Now I just want to warn you that there are certain criteria that need to be met prior as well so I suggest you beat all prior bosses, talk to everyone, and dont go out of the Cathederal area or to far ahead in the game. I have heard it works for some and not others but dont know the exact criteria. I just know that when it worked for me I did everything in order....ENJOY!

The first one about the door is actually a lore point in the game. One of the notes recounts how the door on the great bridge was closed: "When the hunt began, the Healing Church left us, blocking the great bridge to Cathedral Ward, as Old Yharnam burned to the ground that moonlit night."

You missed the messengers urn we can find in the cathedral.its pretty hidden

thanks so much for this! i've officially fallen in love with this game it's so awesome!!

That first door you talked about drove me nuts to figure out what’s behind it haha but now I know! Thank you

2:52 That eye is also the spot where you can see the Amygdala with eyes if you have enough insight, through the cracks of the buildings

Favorite part of this video is the description

We need DLC!

Thanks so much for these videos I'm new to the game and they really help me out alot! I'm not sure if you have or not made a video on how u use the gems for weapons and how exactly all that works with fortify the weapons

If you turn around in the elevator that leads to the healing church workshop, there're an opening you can jump out of. You then end up on some roofs that lead to a little balcony above oedon chapel. You can find a rune there as well.

blood staverd beast was more difficult than vicar amellia

Damnnnnn!! I passed cathedral ward & saw nothing of what in this video .. It was just empty to me .. :( And now I'm stuck in old yharnam .. :'( PS: This is my first game of this type ..

Very nice work. I just recently got this game and am learning something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks.

Great video! I beat Vicar Amelia but I haven't progressed the night yet. I'll definitely do some of this stuff first!

I died at "Leave the hoonting of hoonters to me"

02:05 No man, dont' give the "Red Messenger Ribbon" at the messengers. Iif you come back to the windows when you spoke to the little girl, then the sister respond to you and give it to her the Red Ribbon. Later on, you'll find her dead (maybe suicide) right down the stairs. :(

I’ve played a butt ton of RPG’s I love em and a massive verity of other games with countless collectibles. But I’m astonished by how many things I missed on my play through of bloodborne, yet again a testament to how good that game is.

You can also summon that one blonde haired guy you meet by that switch that opens the tomb to go to old yharnam(forgot his name) if you haven't beaten cleric beast yet, after you beat gasciogne. I used him to beat that cleric beast, also the flamesprayer with oil was putting in work on that thing.

Your voice though...you can talk me into anything with that voice...

#1 is simply awesome on From Software's part - specifically Team A and Miyazaki. Mainly due to the fact that they align perfectly in the world AND we don't have any elevators, at the top of towers, that go UP to volcanoes. Huge accomplishment on their part, I must say.

This is great. the secrets and tips will help me a lot. I hope there will be more.

The white church hunter set (from on top of the building near the caves in forbidden woods) also works for talking to Adella

Oh man, i didnt even get one npc to the chapel, i trusted iosefka more......well, in the end that idea was definitely terrible. Great video overall, but at least from my experience i can say, that the numbing mists for amelia are not really necessary. On my first few tries i played like in dark souls, more passively, dashing backwards after attacking etc. After that i tried the more aggressive approach, always staying near her side, dodging her attacks and attacking afterwards. She never used the heal. Overall, that was a theme i recognized over time. Every boss killed me, cause i played too passively, playing more aggressive, giving the boss no time to breath worked every single time (at least for the bosses in the main world, didnt fight all the chalice dungeon bosses yet)

So the Snatchers are what Bricky calls the Whickety Whacks, right?

The closed door was actually mentioned by gilbert (the one who gives you the flamethrower) he said the bridge that gives access to the cathedral ward was closed so you need to go to an aqueduct (not sure if i spelled it right lol.)

That door under the giant ball guy I think I opened it on my first play through not sure how it was like 5 years ago and all I remember was a flaming ball and a mob

I killed the dweller :S damn reflexes lol

Spoiler alert Sir, you forgot to mention the last npc you can send to oedon chapel. He is found in the forbidden woods area, yes. But if you send him to oedon chapel, he would start killing off your "rescued" npcs one by one.. and he will give you a new set of dialogue for each individual. Plus if you kill him, he will turn into the abhorrent beast.

I know I'm late to the blood borne party, by a long shot as well, but I recently was able to get the game, and these videos help a lot in not missing out on any of the fun stuff like Elieens quest and where and when I can do stuff, etc. so thank you for making these guides. .w./

awesome video! thank you! I'll be following this later for all thise secrets!
