Lower Pthumeru Chalice

lower pthumeru chalice

A chalice that breaks a labyrinth seal.

But only a Root Chalice changes the shape of the old labyrinth when used in a ritual.

The old labyrinth was carved out by the Pthumerians, superhuman beings that are said to have unlocked the wisdom of the eldritch Truth."

 

Lower Pthumeru Chalice is a Chalice Item in Bloodborne. You can create this chalice dungeon by combining the materials listed below at one of the Tomb Altars in Hunter's Dream. This dungeon never changes Bosses, design, or loot.

Notes

  • This is the first of the Pthumeru Chalices to have a fourth level.
  • Each level has a hidden wall but their locations varies.
  • There is a hidden wall in Layer 1's first off-shoot leading to a chest with a Sage's Wrist. - neomerdien lg neomerdien-
  • There is a hidden wall in Layer 2 that leads to a treasure room. - neomerdien lg neomerdien-
  • There is a hidden wall in Layer 3 that leads to a treasure room. - neomerdien lg neomerdien-
  • A bath messenger is found on Layer 4 behind a hidden wall. It is through the door left of the lamp, up the ladder and in the room with the tree, hounds, spiders and Keeper of the old Lords on the right wall. It will look different than the rest of the room and an ambient "whooshing" indicates its presence. Beware of a spider in the hallway revealed behind the hidden wall. The bath sells the Sinister Lower Pthumeru Root Chalice as well as uncanny and lost versions of the DLC weapons you have discovered.

  • If the player dies to Rom at the same time that Rom is killed Layer 4 will be unavailable to the player. (confirmed) *possibly patched? Just happened to me, and I was able to continue to Layer 4 with no problem.
  • After completing this dungeon Ritual Blood (2) and Tomb Mold (2) can be bought from the Messengers in Hunter's Dream

      This chalice is absolute rubbish. Rom is an awful fight here because Rom just perpetually backpedals in the corner whilst spamming it's explosion which makes it extremely long and tedious.
      The BLB is a boss that suffers from the BB engine (which is the DS2 engine) because you can experience not only the DS2 camera, but also the DS2 hitboxes. What a pleasure.

        I had so much trouble that I considered giving up, but tried one more time and this is what I did. Summon the NPC helper (even though he dies early), rush in and ignore the little spiders and just keep going for Rom. It worked! It was over before I realized it.

          killing rom in the masochistic designed area is a genuine show of unmatched patience and discipline that can match the likes of gandhi and jesus christ

            I found a good strat if you can use the cannon bone marrow ash that thing and fire a shot when wail on him with your weapon (lighting works best) when he teleports again bone marrow ash your cannon again hit him with it and finish him with your melee weapon

              Fml i just killed rom but didn’t see the door to the final layer.... removed challace... was stuck on rom for ages.... farrrrrrrrk

              • Solid offline place to farm tempering gems. Layer 2's lever fatty is easy to get to and drops 20%+ cursed radials. Attainable much earlier than tier 5-6 Lantern gems, and much less frustrating.

                  Unreachable item in layer 4 anyone ever found this?? It's on a second level and even has a YouTube video showing people looking for hours and yes I have found illusion wall but this one is different I've hit EVERY wall in the area multiple times

                    Lets design this boss with aoe's and loads of enemies surrounding them and put them in a fittingly large and open area with no distractions,

                    now lets put it in a cramped room with pillars and corners everywhere

                    Miyazaki you've done it again

                      You will only have 3 layers if you haven't killed Mergo's Wet Nurse. The door to the 4th layer will appear after it is dead.

                        Ugh, why is Rom here. That fight is a boring and infuriating slog. I'd rather drink a glass of vinegar than be reminded of that*****ty boss.

                          If you have trouble with bloodletting beast just call 1 or 2 old hunter they will distract the beast so much that you won't even take much dmg and kill it easily

                            Layer One is an excellent place to farm souls once you're somewhere around Levels 75-90, I always run through the side path on the right at the very beginning (getting somewhere between 3500-5000 Blood Echoes), then I go past the yellow lamps to the main part of the first layer. Run through this as quickly as possible (Go Up ladder and straight to the left. Kill that guy for like 1555 souls, then kill the CHime Maiden and the tall undead guy at the bottom of the final room where the boss switch is). I run through the entire Layer 1 area in maybe 2-3 minutes, and it nets me about 12k-13k souls, especially if I get extra blood echoes from using the run that boosts Visceral Attacks. This is a good place to level up or farm souls to stock up on items. It can be a bit tricky at times because of the damn spiders that the Chime Maiden conjures, but once you get a rhythm going, it's very rewarding. I've leveled up considerably doing this

                                The first time I went through here, I completely missed the 4th layer, and assumed that Rom was the last boss. It took me way too long to realize that there was a 4th.

                                  Sure would be nice to have actual directions to these illusory walls that weren't so fucking vague and images that weren't busted. But hey, the half-assed, sloppy, lazy writing and complete lack of any fact checking on this wiki is just par for the fucking course around here.

                                    Is anyone able to lend a hand for Rom on layer 3? I can summon Prospector Olek, but he focuses ads instead of Rom.

                                      Do I have to do this whole damn dungeon again because layer 4 won’t appear??? I didn’t even know there was a 4th one until I started looking for more ritual blood.

                                              I managed to defeat Rom in the Lower Pthumeru Chalice with a combination of Lake runes for arcane defense, some blood gems for fire damage, and a combination of oil urn, flamethrower and molotovs

                                              • Is this not a guaranteed drop from the Pthumerian Descendant in the Central Pthumeru Chalice dungeon? I had to fight this guy multiple times before the thing dropped.

                                                          To get to the layer 1 wall start from the very first lamp in the chamber of the seal and walk down the hallway until you find a door on your right and go up the ladder and kill the spider. Then go down the ladder in the next room and kill the kidnapper and you should be in a room with a chandelier and two guys with fire weapons above you. The wall straight ahead should be the fake wall. The fake walls don't have any vines or rune signs on them and so far are wide so you don't have to worry about the smaller walls.

                                                            I ran into a strange enemy in layer 2. It looked just like blood starved beast and it came from the room with the unlock lever. Just wondering if this is something that always happens, or a glitch or what? I only ask because he came out of a room that was all clear of enemies a minute earlier, and also because I can't find any mention of it on here anywhere.
