Today marks the release of the much anticipated Bloodborne: The Old Hunters expansion. Travel back in time with hunters around the world to unravel the mysteries of Yharnam’s past (or uncover new questions). As usual, we have got all your questions covered at the Bloodborne Wiki and check out the video at the top of this post for Fex’s launch night playthrough!

Accessing the Old Hunters Content

1. Defeat Vicar Amelia and activate the skull in the Cathedral to turn day into night.
2. Go to the Hunter’s Dream and receive Eye of a Blood-Drunk Hunter from a messenger.
3. Go to the Oedon Chapel and leave via the left-hand exit to enter the square.
4. Go to the right-hand end of the square to trigger an event. This event will take you to the new area: The Hunter’s Nightmare
5. Lighting the lamp in the new area will allow you to travel to and from the area via the Hunter’s Nightmare Awakening Headstone in the Hunter’s Dream . It can be found by the Insight Shop, where the Doll will sometimes kneel and pray.

As far as Bosses, Locations and NPCs, we’ll keep spoilers to a minimum here but visit those respective pages if you want to know what to expect and how to advance. There is going to be quite a bit of new Lore added to this universe, which will certainly raise as many questions as it answers. Trophy Hunters are going to want to consult The Old Hunters Trophies to know what to keep a look out for as they progress through the new content.

The content is as difficult as expected so use your resources! The wiki with its embedded chat and forums are here for players to connect and help each other through the game; if you find help, pay it forward and help another or edit the wiki to aid future travelers. If you’re looking for help and not sure where to start visit The Old Hunters dedicated wiki page for an overview of all that is new.

Go now hunters, go forth and slay the things that go bump in the night!
