Bloodborne's online mechanics are similar to the previous Souls games. Summoning allies into your world, invasions, and covenant PvP are still present, but there are some slight differences. If you don't know how to summon / having trouble summoning / invading players, see the information below.
- See the Summon Range Calculator page for information on matchmaking.
- Also see PvP Blood Echo Values to understand soul gain via PvP.
- Note when co-oping: Bosses may become more difficult during co-op play.
Concerning Online Etiquette
Note: PvP "rules" are quite controversial within the Souls community. Some players believe that certain tactics make the game less fun for everyone, and players are obligated to not indulge in them. Some players believe that the only priority of playing Bloodborne (or any competitive game for that matter) should be to win, whatever the cost. Many believe that the boundaries of what they are willing to do shift depending on their opponent's decisions. As a player, you are free to make your own decisions about your own behavior. (See the discussions below for more info about PvP rules controversy)
(PvP)
There are no formal rules to be followed in PvP. Players may accept or forgo any advantage to have an experience which is most fun for them. Some advantages commonly abandoned include:
- Summoning help to fight invaders 2 (or 3) v 1. (ganking)
- Healing
- Leaving the match to avoid losing, by quitting the game or using the Silencing Blank
- Attacking players while they bow
(Co op)
- Hosts, please remember your bell will continue to summon people, so do not go afk once you have rung the bell.
- Guests, IF the Host is afk, either wait for him or use your silencing blank to return to your own world.
- Hosts, if you wish to wait for another Guest, please try to signal it to the summoned player you already have. You can either message him through PSN or use some gestures.
Bloodborne Online Co-Operative Play
Finding Online Players 
Messengers will aid your cause:
- You may ring a Beckoning Bell to become the host to a maximum of 2 "Guest" players who have rung their Small Resonant Bell.
- You may determine a specific "code-word" of up to 8 alphanumerical characters to be matched with people using the same "code-word" - Only in cooperative play.
- You Must be standing near the summoner, (someone at a Lantern can't summon you if you stand at the boss gate, etc..)
- You will spawn at the exact position you left your world at, so don't stand in an area where enemies gather, (considering the host didn't kill them, they will attack you when you spawn).
- Your health gets shortened by 30% when you are in someone's world.
- Blood Vials and Bullets don't refill when you return to your world.
- Up to three players can group up together online, with the objective being to defeat the boss in the area (guest players receive a word upon success).
- A game is started when the host player uses the “Beckoning Bell” item to call other hunters. Likewise, the guest players use the “Small Resonant Bell” item to join another person's game. Once connected, the host and guests play together in the host's game.
- All sessions will end if the host dies, but if a guest dies it will only end the session for that particular player. A “Silencing Blank” can be used by guests to retreat back to their own world, or the host can use it to send away any summoned guests.
- Matchmaking is done automatically, but passwords can be set to ensure the right players group together as needed. Passwords can be up to eight characters and are only used for co-op play.
- If you have entered the game from Rest Mode on the PS4 you may need to restart the game before co-op will work. Restarting the game forces a new connection with the servers which may help eliminate issues when joining co-op games.
- Certain oaths prevent coop playing. Vilebloods will not summon Executioners and vice versa - at least the chance of being summoned will be very low. If you can't summon your friend, check your oath runes. As far as I understand the hunter oath is not preventing any coop play. (This has been tested and refers to Chalice Dungeons). If a Vileblood, does summon an Executioner (s)he will be summoned as an adversary and PvP will follow. PvP will not apply in chalice dungeons (all but sinister ones) as invasions are only possible in sinister chalices. Therefore Vilebloods and Executioners can't "coop" in chalice dungeons.
- As of Patch 1.05, If a player uses the Beckoning Bell or Small Resonant Bell while using a password, it will be clearly indicated that a password is in use
- As of Patch 1.05, If the level difference between the host and the guest when matched using a password is large, the guest's stats will be adjusted to match the host's.
PvP Play
Player-versus-Player, or PvP matches are one-on-one bouts that take place in pre-determined areas, where the host's boss also has to be alive. The player being invaded is the host, while the aggressor is the guest.
- You may ring a Sinister Resonant Bell to become a hostile guest in another host's world or you may be summoned by a Chime Maiden. Up to two hostile guests are allowed.
- PvP play ends when the host/guest is defeated and the host/guest receives a reward.
- A match is started when the guest uses the “Sinister Resonant Bell” item to invade a user's game. The host has either started a co-op session or used a Sinister Resonant Bell as well to trigger the appearance of a Bell Ringing Woman. The guest proceeds to invade the host's game, and the two will duke it out.
- A match is also started when a person of an opposing covenant is summoned. E.g. Vilebloods vs Executioner & 'blood addled' hunters (appears to be random chance) vs Hunters of Hunters
- The rules are simple. The host can be invaded when they're in areas with the Bell Ringing Woman, who normally appear either as part of co-op play or when a Sinister Resonant Bell is used (though there are occasionally areas where she's just present in general from the start). A guest can return back to their own game once they've defeated the host (or have been defeated by the host). Killing the host will grant them a reward.
- A pvp session will also end if the host enters a boss room, or if the invading guest player uses a Silencing Blank to return to their own world. Hosts can not use the Silencing Blank to send away invaders.
Notes:
- When a player rings a Sinister Resonant Bell in an area where the boss has already been defeated, no Bell Ringer Woman will apparently be summoned into that players game, thereby reducing (or even completely eliminating; needs confirmation) the chance to host a PvP match. Furthermore, Bell Ringing Women automatically present in certain areas, will also cease to appear when the boss of that area is defeated, once again drastically reducing the chance to host PvP matches.
Online Play Rewards
Online sessions will last until a boss is defeated by the co-operative group, or until the host or invader is vanquished in a PvP match or by an enemy or the boss.
Regular Online Play rewards:
- Insight Points
- One for killing host
- One for killing invader
- One for killing summoned phantom
- Blood Echoes
- For killing Invader: 30% of the blood echoes it takes the invader to level up (Tested)
- For killing Host: 10% of the blood echoes it takes the host to level up (Tested)
- For killing Summoned Phantom: Needs testing, presumably 10% of the blood echoes it takes the summon to level up
Please See Covenants for specific covenant-member rewards.
Asynchronous Multiplayer
Bloodborne also has asynchronous online element. Players can leave hints and messages for other players in other game worlds. Graves are erected where players have fallen in the game world, and touching them replays how they died. And players can see phantom images of other players running around in the same areas for a limited amount of time. So it's essentially Demon's Souls and Dark Souls in this area.
Chalice Dungeon
Chalice Dungeons are split into two types: normal and randomly generated. Both can be played offline and online, but random ones require connecting to the internet once in order to connect to a server and download data. Players' Chalice Dungeons can be publicly accessible and shared online.
Bloodborne Updates
An update will go live on release day, which will include online optimizations, enhanced game performance and usability, and a few other things. See Patches for more information.
Bloodborne & Playstation Plus
Sony clarifies that PlayStation Plus is required for co-op and player-versus-player, but not required for downloading updates and getting the necessary data to generate a Chalice Dungeon.

Some of the best flow mechanically for online play in the series but they botched access to pvp and the oath runes.
Instead of an arena they made the chalice dungeons double as dedicated pvp spots with with the short root chalice. Then they patched in a co op faction but still gave zero incentive to use the executioner rune.

I was doing co-op with random strangers (mainly just switching back and forth from Ludwig’s and orphan’s arenas waiting to be summoned) and I was waiting at the orphan arena. After a while I was summoned along with some other guy and the two people used moonlight great swords so I switched from saw spear to mgs and that has to be my 2nd favorite co-op experience I’ve had in bloodborne. 3 people wailing on an orphan with great swords was just so fun.

I’m wondering if anybody shares my opinion on a few things I want to mention about invasions. First of all I absolutely love the setup of invading a player only if they have summons because it encourages you to work harder to make a stronger build that can take on multiple players. I love this setup so much but on the opposite end I despise the hosts ability to kill the bell maiden and disable invasions for the entire co op session. Let me explain though, in demons souls and dark souls 1 invasions against single hosts was so common it was for the most part too easy to make a powerful character and abuse the invasion system so in Bloodborne they made serious tweaks to this formula and made it only possible to invade a player (outside of the nightmares) when they had help. So there you have it, single host gets left alone and hosts who are summoning risk invaders it’s perfectly balanced but for some reason they just HAD to throw in that extra F you to invaders by letting the host kill the maiden instead of spawning them out of bounds so invasions are consistently possible during co op.

Is anyone else disappointed that there are no areas specifically built for pvp? I know the players have made fight clubs in chalice dungeons (and good on you for that) but I was surprised that there was no battle of stoicism equivalent or something like that.

The Old Hunters actually have a "sign", seemingly giving their bells to the messagers. That could've been how getting summoned worked instead of what we got, where you're given the option to give your resonate bell to your messagers, basically putting down a "sign" like in Dark Souls. You could also still have the option to use the current system of summoning as well. Same could've gone for the sinister bell.

Bloodborne was never designed for PvP and this was made very clear by the removal of a red sign soapstone type item that existed in Souls, it's absolutely baffling how people come to a game not designed for PvP solely to PvP in it, then complain about it regardless. Bloodborne invasions are designed for players to seek the best gems etc to be able to take on 2-3 people at once which is the standard invasion because of the way the multiplayer is set up. This is what gives you a satisfying PvP experience in this game, not honourable player made meta duels that the souls games mixed better with.

With the PS+ dl I was hoping for a strong online community for pvp. Unfortunately Bloodborne pvp is terrible. Just about the only way to invade is to jump into a gank. 20 heals is a lot of chugging. Lame.

So, earlier today I was hanging with friend and playing, doing co-op with all the new players thanks to PS+ giving it out. At one point I quit out the game to show my step-father a different game and then came back, when I came back online and hit continue on my character, it greeted me with the message 'Lost Connection to Network. Returning to Title Menu'.
From my hour or two spent using methods to try and get online play back to working, I found nothing that works, so if anyone might have some helpful advice for a Fellow Hunter, it would be much appreciated.

I recently ran out of ps+ and I have no other accounts on my PS4, yet I was still able to be invaded and join another players world.
Apparently it's not an isolated incident as I've done research and found others that have had it happen. The only things is that it takes a very long time to find anyone to join. And perhaps is used you as a last resort when search for others or when people are searching for someone to join or invade.

This implies that PvP is entirely impossible in standard non-sinister Chalice Dungeons. This is at the least untrue if you are blood-addled (invade, or kill NPCs, dunno, something triggers it, prolly successful invasion) and summon a Hunter of Hunters covenant member.
Summoned a co-oper, they came in as an adversarial Hunter of Hunters, in a Chalice Dungeon that doesn't allow invasion slots. They don't take up an invader slot, they take up a summon slot, so it makes no sense for it to be impossible. The Hunter of Hunters seemed thoroughly confused and refused to fight, was disappointing because PvP is so rare in this. :(
I'm unsure if Vilebloods can summon Executioners in this same way, but at the very least the Hunter of Hunters covenant can lead to PvP.

So far, I know that completing a co-op session, be that as a helper or host, you will gain blood echoes and 1 insight point. Similarly, defeating anouther player also awards echoes and 1 insight point.

We should establish a level range for players, so that when they want to find someone to play with, at least it would be an easier match for an area. For example, at level 10-25, i could get summoned at the central yharnam lamp pretty consistently within 1 min. After level 26 though, it takes more than 5 mins to get summoned, if I'm lucky. For the other areas I'd say 15-30 for cathedral ward, 20-35 for Hemwick lane. Dunno about the forbidden forest though. Not gonna use the resonating bell until a patch comes out.

So lately it has become next to impossible to get a cooperator.I am on second run through at Rom and have waited 45 mins to an hour for help only to have them get killed in first phase of the fight.Since a good portion of people have used the item dupe glitch and are way above 300 tell me what the point is in using the bell.I am level 131 done by playing the story legit and not farming,but the bosses second run through are extremely tough to fight alone.I think there needs to be 30 minute limit on beckining bell,and if no cooperator comes then your insight point should be refunded.Also the summoning needes to be widened to atleast 100 levels above or below,this might help speed up matches.

For first.. it is a game about the hunt, about the blood and about the success and for most people about using anything they can to win.... People that are starting with bloodborne shouldn't think that pople that play the game care about that + NOBODY disconnects from a world of a afk player.. People like me give him few mins and then do something funny(pushing them off a clif, check how much damage their weapons "actually" do or something). And i think that people that are starting with the game should not think that anybody cares about "etiquette" except for a quick gesture before fight and even that is a minority... :D otherwise great page to inform poeple that are starting with the game and want to what to expect, so it would be cool if people wouldnt that majority of people will "wait for them" till they come back.. (I also hope that my english isn't too bad :/ and that people think that i disagree with the rest or want to tell somebody that they "failed" with what they wrote because it is very good!).

Hi, I've been playing co op with my friend in NG+, and we have defeated all bosses from shadow of yharnam to micolash. There haven't been any problems until now... We tried to clear Lower Ailing Loran together, I died in boss fight and then I tried to go back to my friends game when my friend defeated the boss... but nothing happens. We use the password and I can join my friends game (co op), but my friend can't join my game (co op)... only time my friend can come to my game with small resonant bell is when my friend is hunting me... sinister and small resonant bell works fine for me, but my friend can't join my game as a friend. We both have Hunter of hunters covenant on, we both are in matching levels, we stand almost side to side while waiting... I haven't found any solution for this.

"'blood addled' hunters(confirm what triggers this?

I also hadn't done any PvP. I'm also told on other websites it's a 5% to invade them instead of being summoned.

The section that states that you should gesture to your opponent should be removed. It's entirely up to the two players to decide whether or not they want to gesture. Stop imposing your silly ideas of honour onto everybody else, nowhere in the game does it instruct the player to do so. It's an INVASION not a DUEL. The objective of an invasion is victory not honourable victory. Furthermore I absolutely invade to be nasty, speak for yourself; getting *****ed on in PvP is an essential part of the souls and Bloodborne experience.

The discussion of whether certain tactics should be avoided or not in PvP has been going on since the release of Demon's Souls in 2009. Here's an attempt to outline the two most common positions. Cutthroat: The notion of placing rules on a game is ridiculous. The "rules" already exist, in the form of the mechanics the developer made. If it's a tool the game offers you, there is no reason not to use it. Honor: People should try to win, but not by ruining the game for everyone else. If a certain tactic makes fighting less fun for everyone you meet, you shouldn't do it. One of the main reasons this conversation continues is that it's fairly difficult to separate the players from the two camps, and keep them from playing each other. If Bloodborne allowed, say, a restrictive set of rules for invasions, where people could strike certain aspects of the game (for example, no Visceral Attacks) and then only fight other players who were using the same ruleset, there would be no such bickering over how the community as a whole should play. But, perhaps for the best, no such system exists, and Cutthroats and Honor players are constantly interacting and arguing. What tactics do you avoid voluntarily, despite their potential to help you win? Do you think players should consider what is fun/annoying to their opponents while they fight? Is there a way for people seeking a certain type of fight (say, a no-healing fight) to quickly find such fights with random opponents, perhaps by establishing de-facto rulesets in each area?

I was simply wondering if there's a specific password for online play with other people from Fextralife, and if there isn't, we should really make one up, just so people can have one common password that they can hopefully rely on for help when they're having trouble, so people from Fextralife can come to the rescue :D

I'm using a bl32 character to help people in Yharnam, he's equipped with +10 beast claws with 3x brains of mensis droplets for a total 321 AR. I never even tried to invade anyone, it would be too unfair. Today I decided to try just once..... :P There was no way to get an invasion for a long time, about 30min, and I cooperated just before and just after using the sinister bell! The guy I cooperated with after stopping the sinister bell was definitely already there, it was a matter of few seconds. I'm quite happy actually, I don't know if I would have been able to watch myself in a mirror anymore... :P

Once they port Bloodborne to PC. I hope they fix the matchmaking; Bloodborne has some of the best PVP mechanically, but it’s let down by its shitty matchmaking. It doesn’t even need to be anything special: just add Wex Dust, limit the currently insane coop and invasion ranges, and introduce weapon level matchmaking. This would even benefit CO-OPers. The amount of times I have started an honest level 42 coop with a host only for some dude to show up with +10 weapons and two shot a boss is considerable. Say what you will but I don’t think hosts want phantoms to just two shot all the bosses and enemies for them.
