Guide to completing NPC Quests in Bloodborne Part 5. Learn how to get the Clawmark Rune, White Messenger Ribbon, and the Wait gesture.

Alright, let's dive into the next part of our NPC quest guide for Bloodborne. This section covers some crucial steps that can net you some neat rewards and advance certain storylines.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First up, head back to the Central Yharnam lamp. You'll find a Beast Patient (Male) lurking around. Take him down, and you'll discover this is actually Gilbert, the guy who gave you the Flamesprayer. He's transformed, and if you peek into the window of the nearby house, you'll see he broke out. Defeating him here rewards you with the Clawmark Rune.
  2. 2
    Next, make your way to the house where Viola's Daughter used to be. If you chose the path that led to her death, you can now speak with her Older Sister.
  3. 3
    Alternatively, if you previously handed over the Red Messenger Ribbon, reload the area. You should find Viola's Daughter dead. Searching her will get you the White Messenger Ribbon.
  4. 4
    Now, let's move on to the Cathedral Ward. Make your way to the Grand Cathedral. You'll find Eileen the Crow there, near death. Speak with her, and she'll teach you the Wait gesture.
  5. 5
    After speaking with Eileen, head inside the Grand Cathedral. You'll encounter the NPC who attacked her. This guy is seriously fast and hits like a truck – one hit can take away most of your health.
  6. 6
    Strategy Tip: While you can stagger him with your firearm, it's tricky. Only shoot when he's about to attack, otherwise, you'll waste precious bullets.
  7. 7
    Keep an eye out for when he buffs himself with a swiftness spell; this allows him to teleport and makes him even harder to hit. He also has a move where he whips out a blade that causes damage over time. Be patient and stick to a slow, steady approach. He'll heal himself at least once, so be prepared to fight him twice to finally put him down.
Tips
  • Remember to reload the area after handing over the Red Messenger Ribbon to find Viola's Daughter and get the White Messenger Ribbon.
  • The NPC in the Grand Cathedral is one of the tougher encounters. Don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries! Patience is key here.
  • Clawmark Rune
  • White Messenger Ribbon
