Navigate the Bloodbath section of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night with this detailed walkthrough, covering Cathedral Climbing, enemy strategies, and item locations.
Walkthrough
- 1Return to Dian Cecht Cathedral via the Teleportation Room. Enter the large room with the Demon and Ordog, drop to the bottom, and go through the left door.
- 2In the next room with Nyabon, proceed to the tall cathedral room with a wooden ramp.
- 3Steeple 1: Hop down under the ramp, crouch, and use the Reflector Ray shard to bounce off mirrors and reach the other side.
- 4Jump up on the right side to collect the Capacity Up (#12). Drop down and collect the Green Chest (#12) containing the Macuahuitl Club on the left.
- 5Return to the ramp's top. Stand on the floor mirror and aim at the wall mirror to hit the marble platform above. Perform a second jump or air dash to land safely.
- 6Climb the left side to the wooden scaffolding. Kill the Lance Armor (180 HP) below the large bell.
- 7Jump into the bell to collect an HP Max Up (#13). Hop onto the platforms on the left.
- 8Use Reflector Ray to aim at the Blue Chest (#14) above and double jump upon materializing to grab it.
- 9Drop down to where the Lance Armor was and jump to the right platform. Use Reflector Ray to reach the upper platform on the right to get a Capacity Up (#15).
- 10Drop down and exit through the door on the right.
- 11In the next room, defeat the Ocypete (an iteration of Aello) and any Dullahammer Heads.
- 12Climb the right side, cross over the large bell, and descend the far left to reach a Blue Chest (#17).
- 13Continue climbing the left side, kill the Light Elemental, and then a Lance Armor on a small platform (magic recommended).
- 14Above the armor, jump onto the post where a large bell once was to claim an HP Max Up (#18).
- 15Climb up, defeat the Lance Armor above, and claim the Blue Chest (#19).
- 16In the next level, open the Chest (#21) for Scrambled Eggs and the Red Chest (#20) for 2,000g.
- 17Break through the ceiling in the middle of the bridge (where you fought Lance Armor and Leraje) to collect an MP Max Up, an HP Max Up, and the Familiar: Silver Knight (#16) shard.
Tips
- The Lance Armor can be defeated by jumping above it and kicking down, but watch out for its lance attacks. It drops Silver crafting material.
- The Leraje has homing arrows; double jumps are effective for evasion. Cerulean Splash can defeat both it and the Lance Armor quickly.
- Use the Reflector Ray shard with mirrors to solve puzzles and reach items. Aiming at the ceiling in certain areas can reveal breakable sections leading to rewards.
- When fighting the Lance Armor on small platforms, using magic from a safe distance is advisable.
