Arianna, Woman of Pleasure is a non-player character in Bloodborne.
"But...would you even take a whore's blood?"
Arianna Information
Arianna is a prostitute who resides in the Cathedral Ward. You can speak to her at her home as soon as you reach the area, but she won't seek sanctuary until you have defeated at least one boss from either Cathedral Ward, Old Yharnam, Hemwick Charnel Lane or Yahar' Gul the Unseen Village.
Location
- Arianna is a survivor who is found in the lower Cathedral Ward. Take the narrow stairs down from the big plaza with the 2 church giants, down the narrow sideway with the lantern enemies, to a street with 4 NPC lamps. It's the left hand door at the dead end.
- Asks for a safe haven when the players interacts with her after defeating 3 bosses. Tell her about the safe haven at Iosefka's Clinic OR Oedon Chapel.
- Able to send her to Oedon Chapel after killing at least one boss from either Cathedral Ward, Old Yharnam, Hemwick Charnel Lane or Yahar' Gul the Unseen Village.
Destination
- If sent to the Oedon Chapel:
- She will teach you the "Curtsy" gesture and offer a Blood of Arianna item when you talk to her.
- Adella the Nun, if present, will get jealous if the player uses Arianna's blood instead of hers, and may kill Arianna after you've accepted 3 vials of Arianna's Blood while she's present.
- To stop Adella from killing Arianna, simply remove Arianna's Blood Vial from your inventory and instead take Adella's Blood. If you defeat Rom with Adella's Blood in your inventory, Adella will not kill Arianna. Alternatively, if you never accept Arianna's blood, Adella will have nothing to trigger her jealousy and Arianna will be safe.
- Killing Adella will also prevent Arianna's death.
- In order to obtain her gesture and her blood, you must speak to her in Oedon Chapel before the Blood Moon.
- Like other NPCs, Arianna may be killed by the Suspicious Beggar, so it is not advised to send him to the Chapel if any NPC is present.
- If sent to Iosefka's Clinic:
- Iosefka will reward you with 2 Numbing Mist and 1 Insight.
- If you enter the clinic, Arianna can be found in the main hallway gazing through a window. When killed, she will drop her shoes. Arianna will not be aggressive on her own, the Hunter must strike first.
- If the Young Yharnam Girl was sent to Iosefka's clinic, she will wander the halls as a Celestial Emissary. She will not be hostile towards the player unless they kill Arianna. At which point, the Young Yharnam Girl will begin to attack you.
- If you choose to withhold information:
- Her shoes can eventually be found in Iosefka's Clinic, suggesting she found her own way there.
- Can she survive? Yes, if you prevent Adella from killing her and don't kill her yourself after she has given birth to the baby, she will live with the nightmarish baby.
- Can this NPC be an ally? Yes. After killing three bosses in the game, Arianna will ask you if you know of a safe place. Refer her to Oedon Chapel, and she will be sitting in the Cathedral Ward after the next loading screen.
- Drops: If killed, will give 590 Blood Echoes and Arianna's Shoes. (Drops in all areas, including Iosefka's Clinic)
Quest Line
Follow these steps to get One Third of Umbilical Cord.
- After killing at least three bosses and before the Blood Moon is up, speak to her at her home in the lower Cathedral Ward.
- When she asks for a safe place, refer her to the Oedon Chapel.
- Once you have defeated Micolash, Host of the Nightmare, she'll move to the aqueduct between the Tomb of Odeon and Cathedral Ward lamps. You must kill both Arianna's newborn and Arianna herself in order to acquire One Third of Umbilical Cord and Arianna's Shoes.
Dialogue
"Oh, my, what a queer scent... But I'd take it over the stench of blood and beasts any day. What is it, then? I'm off during hunts, so if that's what you're here for, I'll leave you to your own devices. If that doesn't do it, come back in the morning, darling." - for male hunter.
"Oh, my, what a queer scent... But I'd take it over the stench of blood and beasts any day. What is it, then? I'm off during hunts, and besides, this is no place for ladies. Wouldn't want to drag you down too..." [laughs] - for female hunter.
"Oh, thank goodness. You're a hunter, right? Might you know of a safe place? The night is long and I've very little of the incense left... Please, there must be some nice place to run off to?" (Gives option of telling her)
"Oh, thank you, darling. Maybe I'll see you there!"
"Oh, hello dear. You weren't lying, this is a safe place. Thank you. I am in your debt."
"I'd like to tender my thanks, but I haven't much to offer...all I can give is my blood. But would you even take a whore's blood?"
(If refused, or already carrying special blood): "Oh, you. I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't help you. Unless you've had a change of heart?"
"Oh, hello. The whole town's turned, has it? Quite a big family, aren't we? Though I'm afraid I seem to be the black sheep... Back for my blood, I presume."
"Oh, hello. Come closer. I'm always happy to help."
(after killing Rom, the Vacuous Spider) [hunched over, clutching herself] "Oh, hello there. Forgive me, I'm a bit out of sorts. So, no blood today, okay?"
"Oh...there's something wrong with me..." [moans]
(After giving birth) "It can't be...this is a nightmare..." [sobs and laughs]
Lore
- Arianna falls under the prophecy that is found in Byrgenwerth, "... And when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child."
- Not only does Arianna give birth to a "Child of Blood", but like the Queen, the Blood of Arianna also has special properties.
- Arianna wears the Noble Dress found in Castle Cainhurst, insinuating she is a descendant of the nobles that lived there. However, Queen Annalise says there are only two Vilebloods remaining when the Hunter accepts the Vileblood rune. This may imply that Queen Annalise is unaware of Arianna's existence, or that the queen doesn't find her to be a true Vileblood, as she's not fulfilling the purpose of her lineage.
- Arianna's Blood has a description alluding to her blood being similar to blood forbidden by the healing church, implying that it may be Vileblood.
- In the banquet hall where the Noble Dress is found, there is a portrait of a woman in a crown holding a blonde infant, which may suggest a connection between Annalise and Arianna.
Other Notes
- Arianna can only be sent to Oedon Chapel before the blood moon is up. When the blood moon is up, you will get a message saying "No response".
- If you send Arianna to the clinic, you will no longer be able to acquire the third umbilical cord from her infant.
- Despite being killed by Adella, or by the player after killing her child, positioning the camera correctly will reveal that her character model still blinks.
- It takes two Pebbles to kill Arianna's newborn.

"It takes two Pebbles to kill Arianna's newborn."
This is possible the best final sentence of a wiki entry I've ever seen. Charles ****ens himself couldn't end a book with a more powerful sentence than that.

The Amagdala outside the ward moves when you make moves to get this cord. The position changes but not normally. It seems like it watches in the window (you can see it's eyes down an ally where it turns its head at you) Maybe they are messengers of the formless.

Also its even more sad because the more of them that die, the more depressed the Chapel Dweller gets. And he is a cinnamon roll.

I think what happens to her was really disturbing. I actually just killed her and the Greater One fetus out of pity. Why do all the NPCs suffer some horrible fate in this game, they aren't all bad especially when you start getting attached to them. Even the cranky ass old woman starts getting nicer as the night goes on.

She also says "I've never been happier" after she gives birth.

Reporting that she just was killed with me taking only 1 vial from her, without comsuming it, just holding it in invetory whole time. Point about taking 3 vials doesn't appear to be true.

Some people might not know this, but Arianna actually just passes out when you kill the infant Great One. The animation she performs is not a death animation, you can see this if you were to attack her before the nightmare infant or both at the same time.
I did notice that when you warp back to the chapel and go to see her again, her position does change to a dead one, but I think ot's because of how to game loads enemies and npcs when reseting the area. Her initial animation is evidence enough that she's not dead, just unconcious.
Guess it makes sense that you can take her shoes (weird choice) but whatever.

Can I just point out how Arianna's baby and pregnancy are very similar to what happens with Casca on Berserk? True, the conditions are diferente but there are strong converging points. First, the baby seems to be an infant Great One, in a sort of way Arianna was raped/corrupted/blessed by the Great Ones by giving birth to a suposedly higher form of existence. This happens with Casca after Griffith rapes her and some time later she loses the baby that she was already gestating from her relationship with Guts. But the baby still exists in another plane of existence. And finally, like Casca Arianna completely loses her sanity, slowly at first after giving birth suddenly and from the shock of seeing the deformed and nightmarish spawn that was born. And if you kill the baby she goes completely insane, like Casca, unable to speak properly only mumbling and shaking.

I was planning on killing just the baby, but ended up killing her as well. I already had the One Third of Umbilical Cord. So now I have two and feel awful for killing her without a reason.

*Reads notes* "it takes two pebbles to kill Arianna's newborn" ferb, I know what we'll do today
I've always both loved and hated the inherent vileness of the player characters in Soulsborne games. We have a mission of one kind or another that demands our progression through a dangerous world, that mission being often morally ambiguous to begin with since we often don't truly know the consequences of our actions. At the same time however, there are many bosses and NPCs which don't actually need to be killed in terms of them being fairly benevolent or at worst neutral. For example, with Arianna and her newborn child, we are pressed with the need to receive a One Third Cord and this need may overshadow the fact that, albeit strange, Arianna has just had a child who she might end up helping even though it seems deformed to human eyes. But, as a Hunter, we kill the baby nonetheless (of course, up to the individual player). In order to ascend the bounds of the world (Linking of the Fire in Souls, Humanity/The Dream in Bloodborne), we end up killing several sympathetic or at least bystander characters who don't necessarily deserve death. Sometimes I wish there was more ways to skip bosses that could be allies given the right events or play a more merciful character. Of course, making such an expansive game with an incredible world & managing to tell a story without direct storytelling beyond a few cutscenes is already an insane task that From keeps pulling off repeatedly, so asking for even more depth and choice might be a little much to ask. Still, I hope Elden Ring expands upon greatness :)

I know this is 4 years too late, but after telling Arianna to go to Odeon Chapel and tricking the old man to go there as well, the old man appears there but she doesn't. What did I do wrong?

I might be interpreting the wikia information differently, but in my case Arianna gets sick (presumably the same for most who have invited her to the Oedon Chapel). I didnt use any of her blood, always refused, neither did I send the beggar to the Oedon Chapel. I've carefully followed every NPC's progression throughout my run, but after beating Mergo's wetnurse Arianna just up and dissapeared on me. Adella is still giggling madly in the corner and the old lady ran into a tombstone and died. I can't seem to find her in Iosefka's clinic either. I'm pretty much running out of ideas regarding where she could've fled towards. Not even the Chapel dude gives me any useful information about her leaving, which he does when it concerns the old crone. Hmmm... welp i'll be looking a bit longer and otherwise I can only say don't wait 'till after Mergo's wetnurse to interact with her once again. I must've probably missed my chance between the last time I spoke to her and killing Mergo's Wetnurse...

I sent her to Oedon, didn't send anyone else there because I didn't want her killed and after defeating Rom I found her shoes in a pool of blood. Checked everywhere, no demon baby. Came back after Micolash and sure enough, no demon baby. These steps/notes clearly missed something.

So idk if anyone has ever had this happen but I had beaten all bosses including vicar Amelia, and the guy who gives you the stone to move on was at every home in that lane, anyone else have that happen?

Ok I’m not sure what I did wrong but i fought and defeated every boss up until Vicar and all she would say is the first quote, I only have the old lady from Yharnam and the priest lady from the Hypogean Gaol at the Church. I assumed since she wouldn’t ask for a safe place o could defeat avocado then maybe she would but apparently all the people go missing after the blood moon. What did I do wrong so I can fix it for next playthrough?

Should also be noted that killing her baby kills her aswell.

apparently if she's the first npc u send to oedon chapel, then you later send the rest of the npc's there, she has a new dialogue which will she say only once

I would like to state something that came to mind, rather than the blood being from a vileblood being the reason it contains forbidden properties, I think its just saying that her blood is forbidden because shes a prostitute, like most similar cases in video games things from or done by prostitutes tend to be frowned upon by some church or organization

Did anyone posting in here actually understand what they read above? All problems posed by posters were in fact answered.

So I read all this and finally lost whole line. For the first, my inner sense has helped me to keep Arianna alive for whole walkthrough, because I've expected she will reward me with something more than the bottle of her blood. As condition 1: I've met her at Cathedral Ward and she has given me her blood and been there for a while. I find out that she has disappeared only after obtaining the cord from Mergo's Wet Nurse. There is no blood near her chair or the old lady nearby is alive and still giving me sedatives, as condition 2: there was no beast in Cathedral Ward, I guess I have killed it or not triggered. Condition 3: I haven't been in Hypogean Gaol so Adella hasn't been in Cathedral Ward even though I have Arianna's blood in the inventory. Condition 4: just in case, Iosefka has been killed for being unfriendly early in game, so when Arianna asks for a safe place there was only one current option. Condition 5: just in case, Gehrman is idling in Hunter's Dream as the boss of the area. I have this following conditions on the quest, and will be very pleased if someone will tell me where exactly I am in this story and what to do next with it?

Can't send arianna to the chapel... have beaten vicar amelia and blood starved beast and ive talked to the oedon chapel dweller and the only option i still have when she asks where to go is "no". any clue whats going on?

Soooooo, I did Arianna and Adellas Quest line, Adella killed Arianna and then tried to kill me, now I defeated Rom, he blood moon rose, and now I hear a crying baby all throughout Yharnam, which I hink to be Ariannas Baby, but I can't find it anywhere.. do I need to kill Micolash to make it appear or did I fail by letting Adella kill her?

Information is incorrect. The statement, "You can speak to her at her home in the Cathedral Ward as soon as you reach the area, but she won't seek sanctuary until you have defeated at least three bosses. " is wrong.
The truth is, you only need to beat one of the 4 bosses from either Cathedral Ward, Old Yharnam, Hemwick Charnel Lane or Yahar' Gul the Unseen Village. I have the strategy guide and have personally confirmed this to be true

I was able to get her to go to Oedon after beating only the Cleric Beast, Father Gascoigne, and Witch of Hemwick. She refused go until right after I got Hemwick, that was the trigger for me. No Blood-Starved Beast or anything; just those three. This is my first playthrough of the game ever, so no newgame + or anything.

saw a vid of a dude hitting both of them spawn of satan died she lived. i think hitting them at the same time stops the death trigger for her.

I had the same problem of her not appearing at the door. I got the same guy at all four doors that give you the tonsil stone. Is this a glitch or something to do with the latest update?

I read somewhere that Arianna is the prostitute you speak to behind one of the doors. Is this correct? The character that I am playing as is a woman, so when I spoke to the prostitute, she just told me that it was no place for a woman to be, and never gave me the option to send her to the Clinic or the Chapel. Has anyone experienced this? Is anyone else playing as a female chacter?

She won't move at the earliest possible time to fight her. I assume killing Viscar Amelia is the trigger to allow her to move, as that's when I found her in my first playthrough and she moved on the first encounter.

I just wanted to note that when I went to the street where Arianna was supposed to be, I got the same guy at all 4 location on that street. They were all the guy that gave me the tonsil stone. He was in Arianna's door aswell. When I went later I got "no response" . I'm kinda annoyed because now I can't fight the last boss with the umbilical cord. When I found Iosefka's clinic, the girl who is supposed to give an umbilical cord wasn't there either. Just a lady that wanted to kill me. I've been reading and reading and searching for hours, and I can't figure out what the hell went wrong. This is so stupid.... especially after the elevator bugged on me preventing me from fighting Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos. This is my most unpleasant "souls" experience yet... I feel if I try to start over from scratch the same ***** will happen. I've never seen anyone asking to be sent anywhere.... The only npc near a lamp that was half useful gave me the tonsil stone. All the others were just people telling me to shove off because it was the night of the hunt, or people just making inhuman moaning noises. I really really hate the way they handled the npcs. I can't even tell if I'm a victim of a glitch or if I did something wrong somehow.

Is she still available. Can you still find her, and does she still have the baby in the sewer.
She gave birth to the demon baby after I killed off Host of Nightmares.
(Also, for some reason she died after I struck down the baby. I know for a fact my weapon did not hit her. Was that intentional or did something go wrong?)

I just returned from killing Rom to find Ariana dead in her chair. The ugly Cathedral Ward custodian keeps apologizing and saying "a beast" came in there and slaughtered everyone. Ariana is gone and contrary to my previous post, there ARE a few blood spatters. The distrustful man is still there, and granny was already dead from getting sedatives. I've talked to Iosefka, but remained friendly. What in the hell killed her?

So I went to Arianna after I killed Gehrnam, the first hunter(still have Moon presence to fight) anyway at this moment she had the baby in front of her and I killed it, and I not she did NOT die. I ended up killing her myself. Not sure if its a bug or something but she kept crying, although the option to talk to her was gone. Any insight offered on this greatly appreciated.

The page says that the nun kills Arianna when you use her blood 3 times, but I used both their bloods just once and she still killed her, I think this should be changed by someone.
You know, I wish she would survive, my hunter needs someone after he became a great one for some tentacle blessings if you catch my drift!
