Follow this guide to complete Eileen the Crow's questline in Bloodborne, from Oedon Chapel to the Grand Cathedral, to earn the Hunter of Hunters covenant rewards.
Alright, let's talk about Eileen the Crow and her covenant, the Hunter of Hunters. This is a pretty important questline, not just for the lore, but for some neat rewards and even affecting one of the game's endings. We'll break down how to find her and progress her story.
Walkthrough
- 1Oedon Chapel (Early Game): After you've unlocked the gate to the Cathedral Ward using the Hunter Chief Emblem (you know, the big gate you need a key for), but *before* you defeat Vicar Amelia, head back to Oedon Chapel. Go out the back and take a left. You'll find Eileen hanging out by the fence. She'll teach you the Shhh! gesture here. Make sure you get this before progressing too far!
- 2Tomb of Oedon (Mid-Game): Now, make your way to the Tomb of Oedon. You'll find Eileen in the middle of a fight with another hunter named Henryk. This is your first big decision point. If you choose to help Eileen, you'll fight Henryk alongside her. Once he's defeated, you'll get the Approval gesture from Eileen and, more importantly, the Heir Rune from Henryk's corpse. If you *don't* help her, she'll die, her questline ends there, and you won't get the Hunter of Hunters covenant rewards. However, you can still loot the Crow Hunter Badge off her corpse if you choose to let her die. Your call, but helping her is generally recommended for the covenant.
- 3Grand Cathedral (Late Game): After you've defeated Rom, the Vacuous Spider, it's time to head back to the Grand Cathedral. You'll find Eileen outside, looking a bit worse for wear. She'll teach you the Wait gesture. After this, head inside the Grand Cathedral itself. You'll have one final, tough fight here. Once you've emerged victorious, you can return to Eileen. She'll give you the Crow Hunter Badge (if you didn't get it earlier) and the Hunter Oath, which is the reward for the Hunter of Hunters covenant.
Tips
- Don't miss Eileen at Oedon Chapel early on; it's easy to overlook her if you're just rushing through the main path.
- Helping Eileen against Henryk is crucial if you want the full covenant experience. If you're struggling with Henryk, remember you can use the environment to your advantage, and Eileen will help chip away at his health too.
- The final fight in the Grand Cathedral can be very challenging. Make sure you're well-leveled and have good Blood Vials and Quicksilver Bullets before heading in.
- Heir Rune (from Henryk's corpse if you help Eileen)
- Crow Hunter Badge (from Eileen's corpse if you don't help her, or from her after the final fight)
- Hunter Oath (from Eileen after the final fight)
