Side Quests & Activities
Bloodborne offers various side quests and optional activities that enhance the gameplay experience, providing additional lore, items, and challenges. Following a recommended progression path can help minimize backtracking and ensure you don't miss out on important NPC quests or valuable items.
The game progression route covers a recommended path for both the base game and The Old Hunters DLC. This guide helps optimize the order of areas to clear for NPC quests, items, and other objectives. For detailed information on specific locations, refer to the Walkthrough page.
The Old Hunters DLC Access
To access the content from The Old Hunters expansion, you must acquire the "Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter." This item appears in the Hunter's Dream. Once obtained, you can access the new areas by being grabbed by a lesser amygdala located just outside Oedon's Chapel in the Cathedral Ward.
- You can use save data from a cleared game of Bloodborne to access the DLC.
- If replaying, you can access the new areas once you acquire the Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter after progressing to a certain point.
- New trophies will be added with The Old Hunters expansion.
- You can still complete the main story endings without playing the new content in the expansion.
