Healing Church Workshop | Walkthrough Bloodborne Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Upstairs
You can access the Healing Church Workshop from the Cathedral Ward; specifically, from the Tomb of Odeon (the door to the right of the respawn point will unlock after defeating Vicar Amelia). After going across the bridge, you will be attacked by the shooters and a single enemy will attack you downstairs. Head inside the building. Behind the door, there are enemies on both sides and one archer by the wall to the left. Eliminate them quickly or drag some of the opponents outside to deal with them one by one. In the chest by the wall, you will find a Radiant Blood Gemstone. After collecting it, head upstairs.
In the next room, right after going upstairs, step back onto the stairs because you will draw the attention of the enemy with a machine gun. When the burst stops, quickly run up and kill the enemy on the wheelchair. Next, go to the outer part - there are two shooters here and a larger enemy with a brick. Go back to the room and the last one will follow you. Kill him first, then deal with the shooter that is closer to you and then the one on the wheelchair (approach him when he is reloading; you can make him shoot by standing by the wall, which will also protect you from damage). Be careful, because it is easy to fall down here. You will find some Thick Coldblood near the body. Circle the wall and climb the ladder.
Turn right first and examine the mysterious thing under the window. Collect Thick Coldblood from the body on the other side. Watch out for three enemies inside. Enemies on wheelchairs will be using flamethrowers, but you can easily go past them. You will find Radiant Sword Hunter Badge in the chest. The gate will remain closed for now so go back to the bottom.
Note: The door leads up to Upper Cathedral ward. You can unlock it after you find the key in Yahar'gul, Unseen Village.
Turn right from the bridge, where the path ends. Jump down, kill the crawling enemy and collect 2 Twin Blood Stone Shards. Next, go inside and go down from the wooden platform. Carefully jump from one beam to another, collecting one Madman's Knowledge and Messenger Hat. You can walk down slowly, just be careful when jumping down from narrow beams. The key moment is when you have to jump down from a platform where the body with the hat is. There is a hard-to-notice beam below you, slightly to the right, under the place where you stand. The fall will cost you a small amount of HP.
Note: As you go down, you can find a secret location - Abandoned Old Workshop.
At the very bottom, near the door, you will see a beast with its back directed at you. Take the advantage of the situation and prepare a strong attack. During the battle, watch out for the claw attack and the push that deals quite a lot of damage. After the fight, you will obtain a Beast rune that strengthens transformation effects. Go outside.
Downstairs
You will find yourself on a small courtyard. If you go straight ahead, an enemy will ambush you from the second street on your left - it is quite a challenging opponent. Therefore, it is better to use a trick. Right after you step onto the courtyard, head left. You will find a body at the end (Rumpled Yharnam Hat, Sweaty Clothes), guarded by several birds. You can ambush the enemy from behind by walking through the small alley on the right (kill the dog on the stairs). Begin with a fully charged attack and then a quick one to finish the opponent. Otherwise, be careful, because if you die, you will be teleported to Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (if you want to go there, just allow the enemy to kill you).
On the courtyard, you will be facing a few weaker enemies. In the body on the right, you can find Madman's Knowledge. At the end of the road, you can go either right or left. Choose the right turn first. It is a blind alley.
You will find a single enemy there - watch out for his magic attack, which freezes the hero and deals a lot of damage. Near the body, you will find a Fire Blood Gemstone.
There is nothing more to find here, so go to the other end of the alley. You will find a lift leading to the Cathedral Ward (Thick Coldblood on the balcony.
Note: If you came here before opening the gate to the central yard in Cathedral ward (you need to buy the medallion for 10 000 Blood Echoes), you can open it from the other side. You get there if you use the abovementioned lift.
