Cathedral Ward Exploration

After defeating Father Gascoigne, you gain access to the Cathedral Ward, a central hub that branches into several new areas. Your next steps involve deciding whether to explore Old Yharnam or to purchase an emblem to confront Vicar Amelia directly.

To progress:

  1. Defeat Father Gascoigne.
  2. Progress to Cathedral Ward.

From Cathedral Ward, you have two main options:

  1. Progress to Old Yharnam.
  2. Purchase the Hunter Chief Emblem from the Lower Bath Messengers for 10,000 Blood Echoes and proceed to boss Vicar Amelia.

Important Considerations:

  • If you choose to go to Old Yharnam, purchasing the Hunter Chief Emblem is not necessary for progression.
  • Not purchasing the emblem and thus not unlocking the Cathedral Ward gate to the circular area will prevent you from summoning help for the Vicar Amelia fight.
