Central Yharnam - Sewers | Walkthrough Bloodborne Guide

On both balconies you will find some isolated enemies.

If you want to jump down watch out to not fall on the very bottom or for safety just use the ladder. There are two balconies and both of them are populated by enemies you have already seen on the streets. The only difference is their weapon - if they will hit you your character will be pinned to the ground and you will take more damage than before. You can take these enemies one by one and a lot of them will drop Blood Vials so you will be able to heal yourself in need.

It is difficult to jump on the wooden bar although it is both possible and beneficial.

On the top you will find three enemies in total. When you will defeat them find a ladder (somewhere in the middle) and go to the bottom of the sewers. You may also try to jump down on the wooden bar first and then jump to the sewers. Next to the corpse on the bar you will find the Thick Coldblood. Here you need to watch out for few mutated rats which are weak although fast.

When you will defeat them you may go deeper into the sewers. When you will get to the edge shown on the screenshot above you need to prepare for the attack from your left. You will ambushed from there by an enemy who really well fights with a long staff. Keep your distance and don't let him knock you down or he will hit you multiple times while you will be unable to defend yourself. Attack after your dodge or from behind. In a place where this creature was hidden you may find an entire Hunter armor set.

Carefully jump down.

Now you can jump on a ledge below and go on to the bottom. It will help you save some Health Points. Still though you need to be careful since there is few crawling enemies around. Even though their attacks are not very strong it is better to run away from there since they can attack very fast. A Molotov Cocktail will be perfect here. From this point you may keep exploring the sewer in two directions. Right now you should stay on the bottom and turn left, even deeper into the sewers.

The path on the left (a battle with a pig)

Lure the pig out of the sewer since it will greatly help you dodge its attacks.

When you will get to the bottom you will be attacked by few enemies including some squawking birds which are rather harmless as long as they are not in the air. In a small niche on your right you will also find a Blood Stone Shard. Finally you will get to the tunnel where you will find a gigantic pig. If you want to defeat it you need to lure it out of its lair. Get close enough to it and then run away. The pig's most dangerous and most damaging attack is its charge. It will do it for the first time when it will exit the tunnel. If you will dodge it you will be able to attack the pig from behind. You should also watch out for its kicks (which initiates when the pig slightly rises) and the poisonous breathe which will gradually damage you over the few seconds. The pig will drop the Blood Vials and you will be able to enter the tunnel. Here you can find the Saw Hunter Badge (thanks to this, you can buy all the weapons offered by the Messengers) and a Coldblood Dew.

Note: If you dash into the tunnel quickly enough and avoid the toxin spit by the pig, you can attack its behind (fully charged attack) to stun the animal and perform the finishing attack.

Note2: After you return the Red Jeweled Brooch toViola's daughter (side quest) or tell her about the safe place (Oedon Chapel only), go to the sewers again to claim the reward for defeating the pig Red Messenger Ribbon.

When you will exit the tunnel you need to watch out for two enemies. The path on your left leads to two sets of stairs who will let you go to an arena with boss.

In the end of the tunnel on the left side you may find a way outside. If you will use the ladder on your right you will meet two enemies. One of them uses a brick although you should focus the weaker one who uses a shield. Remember to stay away from the bigger one when he starts to swing out his brick. If he will hit you it will result with a rain of painful strikes. After you will defeat these two you may go upstairs where you will find another two enemies, this time using long sticks. Try to kill one of them as fast as you can. Since they stand back to you so you can hit them pretty hard at the beginning to increase your chances. If they will start punching you together you will probably die. Their corpses will drop some Blood Vials and the Brave Hunter Badge. Exiting through the next stairs will lead you to the locked square where you will find a boss named Father Gascoigne.

If you will exit the sewers you will see that the bridge is guarded by a group of enemies. You need to also watch out for the burning ball.

You can get to the boss with another way as well. You may return through the tunnel in which you have found the pig. On your right you will find a ladder leading outside. You will get to the bridge. If you want you can also turn on the elevator on your left which you can use if you will fail to defeat the boss and you would like to take a shortcut to return here. There are five enemies at the end of the bridge although you may just avoid them and wait for the burning ball which will soon roll over this place and probably kill some of your enemies anyway at least unless you will dodge it. Later on you will find the same type of enemies as you could see after defeating the pig. The further path will lead you to the same boss.

The path ahead (an exit from the sewers)

The birds become dangerous only when they start flying.

From the crossroad in the sewers you may go straight to the exit (go to the top through the either of the two ladders) or explore the paths ahead (choose the first ladder and go deeper into the tunnel). When you will go out to the top you may turn right or left. The left path will lead you to a little balcony with few aggressive birds. Defeat them to loot from a nearby corpse the Madman's Knowledge.

If you will walk to the enemy very slow you will get an element of surprise. In other way it will attack you almost instantly.

Now go from the left to the area where you can find one of the bigger enemies. It is turned back to you what gives you an opportunity to get closer to him very slowly and attack him from behind with your strongest attack. Now you can use the ladder to get to the top and open the gate which will allow you to get to the square which you have passed before. If you will explore the Central Yharnam later on you will be able to use this shortcut.

The path ahead (further exploration of the sewers)

Behind the boats you will find few rats and the Madman's Knowledge.

When you are in the sewers you may take the path behind the next ladder to turn left and then go to the end where you will find few boats. Behind them you may defeat two big rats and then loot a corpse nearby to get the Madman's Knowledge. Now you can return to the main tunnel and use the ladder to go up.

When you are on the bridge you will see two enemies with firearms.

Even when you will be just climbing the ladder you will already be fired by two enemies who are hidden on both sides of the bridge. The third enemy is even more dangerous since he uses a long staff and if you will not protect yourself from the series of his attacks you will be in big problem. At first you should not run to the room in front of the ladder but instead you should fight with the enemies in your sight. After that go ahead through the balcony to the closest end where you will find the Coldblood Dew and to the second end where you will be attacked by the birds. On the other side, behind the coffins, you will find the Oil Urn.

You need to take care of the enemies in the next room one by one.

Return towards the ladder and go to the big chamber behind it. Right behind the entrance beware of an enemy with a gun on the left and another one with a torch on the other side. In the opposite corner you will also find an enemy with a long staff. All of these enemies you can take one by one so take advantage of the stealth option and try to attack them as strong as you can from behind. When you will clear this area you can also jump down although you will not find here anything interesting beside a bunch of rats. That's why you should go upstairs where you will find one isolated enemy with a torch.

Upstairs, right before you leave the sewers, it is a good idea to visit the upper part. To do that, in the spot shown in the screenshot, smash the barrels and jump down onto the wooden platform, carefully. Take a look around and you find two hanging bodies here - cut the ropes to make them drop. It is a good idea to turn towards the spot that the bodies dropped onto to find a weapon - Saw Spear and 2x Blood Stone Shard. Above, on one of the corpses, you can also find Coldblood Dew.

Finally, enter the small passage to the right of the window that you took to enter here. Outside, there is hunter Eileen. Talk to her and you will receive 4x Bold Hunter Mark. Repeating the conversation will be rewarded with a gesture - Shake Off Cape.

After you exit the sewers, on the right, you can spot a dog baying by the house. Inside, there is an Old Lady, who you can tell about safety (side quest).

A bit ahead, you will enter the square with few angry dogs (few of them are locked in the cages and you can kill them if you want). Turn towards the balcony on you right. You will find a Coldblood Dew nearby the barrier. Now you need to go upstairs and get to the location shown on the screenshot above.

The left path leads to the bridge although you can use it only to get from the bridge to the bottom. That's why you should choose the right path to get to the dark building. You will be attacked inside by an enemy and the second opponent will sit in a wheelchair in the left part of the building (he will not attack you at first but when you will get closer to him he will shoot towards you from a gun). You will also find a Pungent Blood Cocktail and, on a shelf on your left, a note which you can read.

On the top of the stairs you will open the gate behind which you may unlock the respawn point.

Now you can exit the building through the passage located opposite to the entrance. When you will be outside you should watch out for the one more enemy and loot the body nearby to get the Blood Stone Shard. When you will get to the top of the stairs you will find a lever which will open quite useful shortcut which will help you to get to the lamp which you may use as a respawn point.

The first boss is located in the end of the bridge.

In this moment you should decide to try your strength against one of the bosses. You may start with Cleric Beast at the end of the bridge and then Father Gascoigne who is not so far from the exit of the sewer's tunnel where you could face the charging pig. If you have followed this guide you should have already visit every possible area.

Before the fight you should also unlock all the passages (if you haven't done it yet) and if you want to you may also go to the Hunter's Dream to purchase some useful equipment. The further part of Yharnam will be unlocked after you will defeat Father Gascoigne, killing Cleric Beast is rewarded with a badge that allows you to buy the key to the gate in Cathedral ward (this is not the only way, although it is the easiest and fastest one).

Note: When you will be killed for the first time on the arena you will be transported to the Hunter's Dream. From now on you may talk with the woman in dream and increase your level and statistics by using the Blood Echoes.

The place where you can summon Father Gascoigne for help

Note 2: It may be much easier to fight Cleric Beast if you lose the fight first. You will then receive Insight, which allows you to summon other players into your world. In the case of this boss, you can summon Father Gascoigne, as long as you have not defeated him earlier. From the Central Yharnam point (the lantern) go down, across the gate on the left. Opposite the opponent with the torch, there is a note - read it. Here, you can summon Father Gascoigne, who will follow you into the arena and help you with the fight. Cleric Beast will mainly focus on attacking the summon, thanks to which you will be able to deal damage yourself, without any problems.

If you have already defeated Father Gascoigne as the first one, you will not be able to use his help. Instead, you receive from Gilbert a free weapon (visit Cathedral ward before that) - Flamesprayer. You find Gilbert in the window, across the lantern in Central Yharnam. Use the weapon, because the beast is vulnerable to fire.

Also, you receive this weapon after you kill both bosses, regardless of the order, and after you visit Cathedral ward.

The window, where you find the girl looking for her mother.

Note3: Before the fight with Father Gascoigne, it is a good idea to talk to Viola's daughter. You find her after you climb the ladder in the main fork in the sewers. Then, on the surface, go left and next to the opponent with a brick, you will find another ladder. There, you can open the gate to the square with the fountain and talk to the girl in the window. From her you will receive the Tiny Music Box, which you can use during the boss fight.
