Fishing Hamlet

The Fishing Hamlet is a nightmarish coastal village, the final major area of The Old Hunters DLC. It's teeming with mutated villagers and grotesque aquatic horrors. Be prepared for relentless combat and environmental hazards.

Initial Descent and First Lighthouse Hut

  1. Upon arriving from the Research Hall, you'll find yourself on a cliff overlooking the hamlet. Proceed down the winding path.
  2. You'll encounter several Fishmen wielding anchors and tridents. These enemies are aggressive and can inflict rapid damage. Utilize their slow wind-ups to parry or dodge.
  3. Near the first Lighthouse Hut, look for a corpse holding a Blood Stone Chunk.
  4. Inside the Lighthouse Hut, you'll find a Lighthouse Hut Lamp. Activate it immediately for a crucial checkpoint.
  5. Exit the hut and continue down the path. You'll encounter more Fishmen, including a larger, more resilient variant.

The Well and Shark Giants

  1. As you navigate the narrow pathways, you'll come across a large well. This well is a key point of interest and danger.
  2. Drop into the well carefully. Be aware that two formidable Shark Giants patrol this area. These enemies are incredibly tough, possess high health, and deal massive damage.
  3. Strategy for Shark Giants:
    • Option 1 (Stealth/Lure): Try to lure one Shark Giant away from the other to fight them individually. Use pebbles or a ranged attack to get their attention.
    • Option 2 (Co-op): Summoning another hunter makes this encounter significantly more manageable.
    • Option 3 (Aggressive): If fighting solo, focus on parrying their attacks. Their overhead slams and lunges are good opportunities for visceral attacks. Be mindful of their grab attack.
  4. After defeating the first Shark Giant, the second will likely aggro. Repeat your chosen strategy.
  5. Once both Shark Giants are defeated, you can claim the highly sought-after Rakuyo weapon from the corpse at the bottom of the well. This is a challenging but rewarding endeavor.
  6. Also in the well, you'll find a Blood Stone Chunk and a Great One's Wisdom.

Exploring the Hamlet's Shores

  1. Exit the well and continue through the hamlet. You'll encounter more Fishmen, some wielding ranged attacks (harpoons). Prioritize these to avoid being staggered.
  2. Look for a small cave entrance on the left side of the main path. Inside, you'll find a Kin Coldblood (10).
  3. Further along the shore, you'll find a path leading to a sunken ship. Be cautious of the numerous Fishmen and the occasional large, bloated variant that explodes upon death, dealing area-of-effect damage.
  4. On the sunken ship, you can collect a Blood Stone Chunk.
  5. Near the ship, you'll find a ladder leading up to a higher section of the hamlet. Climb it.

Path to the Orphanage

  1. Once on the higher ground, you'll face more Fishmen and potentially a Winter Lantern. If a Winter Lantern is present, utilize cover and ranged attacks, or equip high Frenzy resistance.
  2. Follow the path, which will eventually lead you towards a large cave entrance. This cave signifies your approach to the Orphanage of Kos.
  3. Before entering the cave, explore the surrounding ledges for additional items like Twin Blood Stone Shards and Quicksilver Bullets.
  4. Inside the cave, you'll find the final boss of the DLC. Prepare accordingly.
