Upper Cathedral Ward: Yharnam Tombstone 3 2244

From the start, take the nearby steps to a closed gate with a Blue Elixir. Turn around and cross the bridge, defeating two Church Servants and many Celestial Children. Be aware that these Church Servants are stronger than those in Cathedral Ward.

Light the lamp. Continue up the steps and turn right to defeat more Celestial Children to reach the Great Lake Rune.

Cross the bridge again, defeat the Church Servants, and check the right corner for the rune.

Take the opposite path, defeating more Celestial Children. Ignore the stairs and find Carrion Crows guarding a Frenzied Coldblood (9).

Head up the steps to defeat another Church Servant with a scythe and enter the chapel.

Carefully approach the Brainsucker hovering over the Choir Set. Inside the doorway to the right, grab a Madman’s Knowledge. As you leave, a Scourge Beast will break through the window. These higher-level Scourge Beasts hit hard but often spawn near doorways, which can be used to block them for safer attacks.

Defeat the Brainsucker and be cautious of the Scourge Beast that jumps through the window.

From the doorway, head left to another door and descend the grand staircase to trigger the chandelier falling. This will unleash three more Scourge Beasts, which you can fight near the most recently opened doorway.

Once clear, descend the staircase again and turn right into a small hallway containing a Brainsucker. Wait for the Brainsucker to walk away before attacking, as they can now cast magic to bind you. Grab the Cosmic Eye Watcher Badge from a corpse halfway down the hall.

Exit the other side of the hall and hug the right wall to a doorway you cannot open yet. Grab the Ritual Blood (5) x3. Then, move along the other side of the chapel, facing another Scourge Beast.

Enter the small hallway on this side of the room and proceed down it to fight a Wandering Nightmare. Be careful of the Brainsucker at the end of the hall in the small room with the ladder.

Climb to the second floor and turn around. Lure another Brainsucker from the long hall into your doorway to avoid its binding spell. Collect the Blue Elixir, Blindfold Cap, Madman’s Knowledge x2, and Pearl Slug x2. Unlock the door at the end of the hall.

Backtrack to the room with the ladder and exit the other side. Carefully lure the two Brainsuckers to a safe place, such as a doorway, to defeat them and obtain the Orphanage Key.

Unlock the opposite door (where the Scourge Beast previously jumped through the window). Through the double doors, check the statue to acquire the Make Contact gesture.

Return downstairs to unlock the other set of double doors, which lead to a Frenzied Coldblood (9). Open the gate near the lamp using the device.
