Cathedral Ward Cont.

Complete Cathedral Ward Cont. in bloodborne. Find Thick Coldblood (5), Blood Vial x6, Madman’s Knowledge x5, and Twin Blood Stone Shards x2.

Exit out the back of the Chapel and make your way back to the gate, this time heading up the steps to grab the Thick Coldblood (5). As you head up the steps there may be a scythe wielding Church Servant walking away or two walking toward you, so deal with them and then enter the staircase area to grab the Blood Vial x6.

Another Church Servant will be standing on the side of the staircase, looking down the stairs, and you can slowly walk up to stagger him for a visceral attack. The Church Giant below is just a bit out of reach of a plunging attack, so drop down to the stairs and deal with him in a normal manner.

Defeat the Church Servants and the Giant on the main staircase before heading to the plaza.

You can now head down the stairs, through the gate, and into the plaza with two more Church Giants and Madman’s Knowledge x5. Exit through the archway on the right side of the area to kill the Carrion Crow and the Brainsucker and then check the corner for a Twin Blood Stone Shards x2.

Grab the Madman’s Knowledge and enter the side room to encounter a Brainsucker.

Ignore the drop, which takes you to an area you’ve already been to, and enter the building for the Shining Coins x12. You can now exit out the back to grab a Tempering Blood Gemstone (2) and Antidote before heading down the steps to a locked door that requires a password.

Remember this path with a Blood Gemstone and password door for later, after the boss.

Backtrack to the grand staircase and head up to encounter more Church Servants, these carrying sacrificial crosses. These versions are rather dangerous and are hard to counter with your gun, so getting behind them is your best option.
