Frequently Asked Questions
How do I access The Old Hunters DLC content?
To access The Old Hunters DLC, you must first defeat Vicar Amelia and interact with the skull in the Grand Cathedral. Then, return to the Hunter's Dream, where Messengers will give you an item called the 'Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter'. Finally, go to the Oedon Chapel lamp, exit to the right towards the graveyard, and stand near the large tree/bush in the corner. An Amygdala will grab you and transport you to the Hunter's Nightmare.
What content is included in The Old Hunters DLC?
The DLC adds three expansive new areas (Hunter's Nightmare, Research Hall, Fishing Hamlet), five challenging new bosses, over a dozen unique trick weapons, several new firearms, new attire sets, new Caryll Runes, and significant lore expansion related to the Old Hunters and the Great Ones.
What is the recommended level or progression point to start The Old Hunters?
It is generally recommended to tackle The Old Hunters after reaching about level 65-80 in the main game, and having progressed past Rom, the Vacuous Spider, or even Micolash, Host of the Nightmare. The DLC content is notoriously difficult and designed for players who have a strong build and understanding of the game's mechanics.
Are there new weapons and armor sets available in The Old Hunters?
Yes, the DLC introduces a substantial arsenal of new trick weapons, such as the Whirligig Saw, Simon's Bowblade, and Kos Parasite, along with new firearms like the Gatling Gun. It also features several new hunter attire sets, allowing for more customization and build variety.
How many new bosses are there in The Old Hunters, and how difficult are they?
There are five new bosses in The Old Hunters DLC: Ludwig, the Accursed/Holy Blade; The Living Failures; Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower; Laurence, the First Vicar (optional); and Orphan of Kos. These bosses are widely considered to be among the most challenging and iconic encounters in all of Bloodborne, testing players' skills and perseverance to their limits.
