Farewell, Good Hunter

As your journey through Yharnam draws to a close, the choices you've made and the knowledge you've gained will culminate in one of Bloodborne's distinct endings. The path you take, particularly concerning the Great Ones and your relationship with Gehrman, will determine the fate of both yourself and the world. This section offers a brief overview of the concluding moments of your hunt.

The Hunter's Dream:

The Hunter's Dream serves as your sanctuary and the hub from which you venture into the night. It is here that you interact with the Doll, level up, upgrade weapons, and ultimately confront the entities that govern your fate.

Gehrman, the First Hunter:

  • Gehrman, bound to the Hunter's Dream, offers guidance and a path to freedom. His role is pivotal in the game's conclusion, and your interaction with him will directly influence the ending you receive.
  • He resides in the chapel within the Hunter's Dream and can be spoken to after certain story milestones.

The Moon Presence:

  • A mysterious Great One that resides in the Hunter's Dream. Its presence is tied to the consumption of Umbilical Cords.
  • Interacting with the Moon Presence is a requirement for one of the game's endings.

Umbilical Cords:

  • These rare consumable items are crucial for achieving certain endings. They are found throughout the world and are often tied to specific NPC quests or hidden areas.
  • Consuming three Umbilical Cords before confronting Gehrman is a key requirement for the secret ending.

The Endings:

  1. The Hunter's Dream Ending: If you choose to accept Gehrman's offer of release, you will experience this ending. It sifies a return to a semblance of peace, though the cycle of the hunt may continue.
  2. The Childhood's Beginning Ending: This ending is achieved by consuming three Umbilical Cords and then defeating Gehrman. It suggests a transformation and a continuation of the hunt in a new form, ascending to a higher plane of existence.
  3. The Refusal Ending: If you refuse Gehrman's offer after consuming three Umbilical Cords, you will engage in a final, desperate battle. This ending implies a struggle against fate and a potential continuation of the cycle.

Post-Game Content:

  • After completing the game and witnessing an ending, you can choose to begin a New Game Plus (NG+). In NG+, enemies are stronger, but you retain your character's stats and most items, allowing you to tackle the challenges anew.
  • The Old Hunters DLC offers a significant amount of content that can be accessed before or after the main game's conclusion, providing further lore and challenging boss encounters.

Your final moments in Bloodborne are a testament to your journey. Whether you find peace, ascend to a new existence, or continue the eternal struggle, the hunt has shaped you. Farewell, good hunter.
