Burial Blade (Japanese: 葬送の刃 Funeral Blade) is a Trick Weapon in Bloodborne. It is one of two skill/arcane hybrid weapons.
Burial Blade Description
"Trick weapon wielded by Gehrman, the first hunter."
A masterpiece that defined the entire array of weapons crafted at the workshop. Its blade is forged with siderite, said to have fallen from the heavens.
Gehrman surely saw the hunt as a dirge of farewell, wishing only that his prey might rest in peace, never again to awaken to another harrowing nightmare. "
Burial Blade Information
- Transforms from a one-handed curved sword to a two-handed large scythe.
- Deals bonus damage when performing quick-step, sprinting, and backstep attacks.
Location
Normal
- It can be purchased from the Messengers for 60,000 Blood Echoes after defeating Gehrman, the First Hunter and acquiring the Old Hunter Badge from him.
- To make Gehrman fight you, the "Refuse" option must be selected.
- If one accepts his proposal, the game will outright end there and it will be impossible to obtain this weapon in that playthrough (not including the uncanny/lost forms found in the chalice dungeons).
- Normally, the Burial Blade can only be obtained in NG+ and beyond. However, one can bypass this by using Bold Hunter's Mark, or being killed, during The Moon Presence boss battle.
Uncanny Burial Blade

From starting lantern, enter next room, open and enter left side door (not progression doors marked by lanterns). Climb ladder, turn left to go through open door. Enemies will start appearing as soon as you enter this room and they are tough! Turn right and go thru open door, then go diagonally across the next room to far right corner. Open door and enter. Enemies will be waiting as soon as you open the door. Cross this room, drop down to lower level and proceed through the open door in the middle of the far wall. Head up the stairs and straight ahead to the coffin for the weapon.
- Lower Ailing Loran Root Chalice
- Glyphs:
- kkqmduet (Layer 1) Go into the first side door before the first lamp, and continue until you get to the treasure room. There are two bell maidens in the room before the treasure room and a Silverbeast guarding the coffin with the weapon
- uae9r5av (Layer 2) After the lamp go the way right, in the next room use the door on the other side (not down the hole), go through the next rooms to the end of a suspension bridge and use the the door in the middle.

Player Notes
- Compared to other weapons with similar attack speeds, the Burial Blade sacrifices a bit of raw damage for better crowd control capabilities thanks to its wide swings, long range and high rally potential (especially in scythe form).
- The curved sword form utilizes wide swings with decent range and attack speed.
- The scythe form grants an even further reach that specializes in crowd control as well.
- It grants poise mid-swing, allowing the hunter to withstand light damage without being staggered.
- Enemies struck by just the handle will take the same damage as if hit by the blade proper.
- Both forms' R2 attacks change direction depending on how long they are charged:
- The curved sword's R2 attack is a vertical slice when tapped, and horizontal when fully charged.
- The scythe's R2 attack is a horizontal slice when tapped, and diagonal when fully charged.
- When fully charged, the scythe's R2 attack has extraordinary reach and is capable of sending most regular sized enemies flying, including some bosses.
- This attack can pierce through walls and thin surfaces, allowing one to hit enemies behind doors or pillars.
- However, it also consumes a huge amount of stamina (100) and has trouble hitting small enemies.
- This weapon shares many similarities with the Blade of Mercy.
- Both weapons innately scale with Arcane.
- Neither can be buffed by external sources.
- Neither weapon changes its damage type when Arcane, Fire, or Bolt gems are applied (though both receive the full effect of flat damage gem effects).
- Both have the same unique visual effect and sound for the quickstep, backstep, and running attacks.
- Both weapons' descriptions state they are made of siderite, a rare material. They are the only weapons known to be made of the material.
- While blood gems that increase Arcane damage work on this weapon, the low base Arcane damage means gems that affect Physical or all damage are often more effective.

Numbers were tested on a level 120 player with no armor using a +10 Burial Blade. Numbers are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Regular Move Set
| Move | Damage Type & Modifier | Stamina | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 Combo |   1x, 1.04x, 1.09, |
23 | Four hits: Right-to-left horizontal slash using the convex side of the blade, left-to-right reverse with the concave side, nearly vertical top-to-bottom slash with the convex, reverse bottom-to-top slash with the concave. Sequence repeats if you have enough stamina. The first two hits are good for enemies trying to surround you. |
| Quickstep R1 | 1.09x |
25 | Advances forward using the point of the blade in a straight thrust. You finish half a step ahead of where you started. Decent speed, okay reach. |
| Backstep R1 |  1.05 |
22 | The sword is thrust directly forward. |
| Rolling R1 | 1.20 |
25 | After completing the roll, the blade is raised from the ground to overhead in a mostly vertical slashing motion. |
| Dash R1 | 1.4x |
20 (+run) | A left-to-right horizontal slash that is at least a three-quarter circle. |
| R2 Attack | 1.45x |
45 | Nearly vertical top-to-bottom slash after a short windup. Has a slight recovery time. |

60 | Overhead swing that slams the ground. |
| Transform Attack | 2.3x |
25 (+x) | Quickly puts the blade onto the folded handle, handle extends, pulls scythe around and down a right-to-left diagonal slash. The slash is very fast. |
Transformed Move Set
| Move | Damage Type & Modifier | Stamina | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 Combo | 1.2x, 1.2x, 1.25x |
28 | First strike is a diagonal left-to-right slash. Then there's a horizontal right-to-left, followed by two left-to-right horizontal strikes. Then it repeats the right-to-left. |
| Quickstep R1 | 1.3x |
22 | Dodges backwards, gives a short hop forward, and a short right-to-left cut, almost pulling towards them. Only recovers about half the distance of the dodge. |
| Backstep R1 | 1.18 |
22 | The weapon is brought in front of and slightly to the right of the hunter. The blade is then pulled in and down to slash the blade back toward the hunter. |
| Rolling R1 | 1.12x |
22 | Similar to the sword form, the weapon is scraped on the ground and raised in an upward slashing motion. |
| Dash R1 | 1.55x |
18 (+run) | A left-to-right diagonal uppercut. |
| R2 Attack | 1.95 |
40 | Drops the scythe blade-down behind the back, pulls it around into a left-to-right horizontal swing. Shorter range, but appears to have at least 180 degrees of arc. |

25 (+run) | Overhead swing, slams the ground. |
| Leap | 1.95x |
60 | Good distance on the leap, overhead swing slightly from the left, slams the ground. |
| L2 Two-handed special | 1.85x, 1,5x, 2.05x, 2.05x |
40 ~ 50 | Seems to be four hits: Overhead ground slam from left-to-right, overhead ground slam right-to-left, left-to-right rising diagonal slash, left-to-right horizontal slash. |
| Transform Attack | 1.2x |
20 (+x) | Left-to-right horizontal swing of the scythe, detaches the blade at the end of it, transforming it into a sword. |
Trivia
- The Burial Blade was the first trick weapon ever created, and inspired the development of other trick weapons, usually on the premise of transforming to adapt to different combat scenerios.
- The Burial Blade was created and exclusively wielded by Gehrman.
- A Burial Blade can be found above the workshop table in the Hunter's Dream.
- The weapon's description mentions that "Its blade is forged with siderite, said to have fallen from the heavens."
- Siderite is the real-life alternate name for an iron meteorite.
- Both the Burial Blade and the Blade of Mercy mention the use of it in their descriptions.
- Both weapons resemble the talons of Mergo's Wet Nurse.
- The shape of the scythe highly resembles Rurufon's scythe from Shadow Tower Abyss, an early title created by From Software as well as being recurring weapons in Souls series.
- A strange bug on rare occurrences the cape on the hunter may come off, usually in a boss fight you could notice if you dodge back and do an R1 combo the cape disappears. [Note, I haven't seen this happen in a while, it's possible that it may have been fixed, but I'll need confirmation on this]
Anonymousit feels like the burial blade and the blade of mercy were designed with each other in mind tbh. They have the same scaling and their movesets complement each other perfectly. the blade of mercy has fast, short ranged attacks that are great in one on one fights but suffer in groups. this thing has long, sweeping attacks that are great for groups but are really slow.

I thinking of using this as the arcane in my arcane strength hybrid build, is it a good idea as it has good arcane scaling but can’t be buffed well by arcane and elemental gems.

Apparently that Pthumerian Chalice tip only works if you've beaten the second floor of the basic dungeon... I sure would've appreciated if it was mentioned ! I deleted my progress on the first floor while trying to make it work. Oh well, half-assed information is better than no information at all.

If you use the skip mentioned above in order to get the blade in NG, Will you be able to go back to the rest of the game? I heard that if you enter the final boss fight it locks you in and you have to NG+

A surprise question i wanted to know , is it possible to get the Uncanny Burial Blade running Bloodborne on a PS5 & Offline ? Or it isn't possible ? I heard someone said running BB on a PS5 it isn't patched , hence maybe i thought the Modded Glyph Chalice might not work for the Uncanny Burial Blade.

This is not a one-shotter.
Although the combos you can create are worth it.
Fun, but not effective.

That Pthumerian chalice for the uncanny seems awful ailing loran WHY?
Something that should be put on the Uncanny Burial Blade instructions is that you need to complete 2 layers of the first chalice dungeon before you can use a glyph to make a chalice dungeon.

Is it just me or does anyone else find the untransformed moveset wonky, choreography-wise? IMO it feels really awkward to see the hunter swing a dex weapon around that way when Gehrman used it so gracefully. Also i feel that the unstransformed normal combo of the Beasthunter Saif is how the moveset shoud have been.

Arcane dmg is low on this and blade of mercy, but enemies are more resistant to physical than arcane including and especially for players (usually phys defense is higher than arcane defense by 100, or phys def is double the arcane def).

I seriously want to use this weapon, but if wanted to use it efficiently, I would have to create another build and beat the game again :(

Easily my favourite weapon in the game, and I love nearly all of them! One thing that does annoy me a bit though is that in order to have decent damage, you really do have to have a heavily skill-based build. But with that being said, with a skill-arcane/skill-strength-build, this is my go-to weapon.
- Anonymous
nzzn259g This glyph is great. You can find Uncanny Burial Blade very early in the game, without waiting the duel with Gerhman. Just follow the description above, in the proper section. It's great for players using Blade of Mercy (Hunter of Hunters Build), because Burial Blade is quite a twin of BoM. And Uncanny version of Burial Blade is better than normal version due to the presence of 2 radials and 1 triangular gem imprints.
- Anonymous
By the way root chalice nzzn259g is amazing for farming early game echos. Go where you normally go to get the burial blade. On the way there,*****around a bit and take a tiny bit longer to get to the room with the cannon. For some reason the guy manning the cannon will have despawned. You can now use the cannon to instantly kill any of the mobs, including the respawning spiders. The non respawning enemies drop 5-15k and the spiders drop 1k each but respawn infinitely. If you die you're FUBAR though, since the bell ringing woman will usually take your echos and she has way too much health to kill if you're just rushing early game

Can confirm that for the early Pthumerian chalice you just need the root chalice from the second boss in the first dungeon

"Blood gems increasing Arcane damage do work on this weapon, but given the low arcane damage it has is it not recommended to rely on this." It's actually pretty good for an Arcane 50 build with gems that boost arcane damage and scaling. It's not as outright damaging as a Skill build, but it's still viable

There appears to be some sort of requirement placed upon the early pthumeru dungeon. Just best BSB and it says my character doesn't meet the requirements even though I opened the base dungeon
- Anonymous
It seems this and Blade of Mercy were both patched, since it is entirely possible to add fire or bolt damage to them now with blood gems.
- Anonymous
In the early dungeon to get the uncanny (the pthumeru that you can do after BSB) it seems that if you fail to kill certain enemies they get moved to the entrance ladder, e.g. those spiders. Which is *****ing perfect because now I can get boned by glowing red things that trigger my arachnophobia without even having to go to the spider room.

Something I’ve been wondering, do the “quick attacks” (attacks with the white streak) have increased arcane attack power? or are they still a hybrid of phys. and arc.? If you increase the arc. attack with blood gems, will these attacks become stronger than with just phys. blood gems?

"Overall, the transformed mode is superior for melee combat (better range, higher rally, little noticeable difference in attack speed) but you cannot use a firearm since it's wielded with two hands." Um... what? This is just wrong. The sword form has a much better moveset, burns less stamina, and is far less vulnerable while attacking. The scythe has its uses for sure, but it is very situational.

I love how there's a Burial Blade on the wall above the workshop desk for the entirety of the game, but only after beating Gehrman are you allowed to use it, lol. Although, the one on the wall is arguably cooler, because it looks like it's supposed to have a blade attached on BOTH ends of the staff, like some sort of double-scythe. I would love to roll up on Gehrman with that bad *****.

I don't know if it's a bug, or just a property of the weapon, but this weapon cannot be combined with extra damaging items (ie: Bolt Paper, Fire Paper, and the Empty Phantasm Shell). Everything else works the same way. Upgrading, bloodgems, etc.

My character has been mainly using the Blade of Mercy, so I'm well versed in its special effect, and usually dodge before swinging for the bonus damage. Upon getting this scythe, in both forms it SEEMS to have the same passive. An attack after dodging or sprinting makes a satisfying noise, leaves a trail of light, and does slightly more damage, in tune with the arcane bonus. This would make sense since they are both made of the same rare mineral. Can anyone else confirm my suspicion before we update the wiki page to reflect this? I've done a bit of testing, but some other input would be nice.

I currently have 25 Arcane(Unless ur gonna use more then 15 in pvp(if ur going for scythe pvp) I'd advise not going over 15(mainly cause of old hunter bone being really nice)), otherwise id advise starting a class with really low arcane/bloodtinge high skill end/vit low str(lowest u can probably get for arc str and bloodtinge is probably troubled childhood, while not wasting any levels(Waste of Skin class(I personally did the numbers and its not worth it you end up losing 2-4 levels depending on the class)). TL;DR 50 Vit 20 End 50 Skill(Low everything else for pvp), 50 Vit 20-40 End 50 Skill 7-50 Arcane(Low everything else for NG++++++++++ etc). These are mainly opinion and alittle bit of testing arcane doesn't seem to scale well at all and phys dmg deals alot more in pvp compared to arcane. Good luck all on the Min/Max hype train.(I've screwed up 2-3 Chars already XDDDDD)
the original is here: "Its main point of strength is its reach combined with wide swings: in scythe form, it can hit enemies both to your left and your right. In curved sword form it has wide and quick swings, suited to hit multiple enemies at once."
If anyone thinks my paraphrase is bad, feel free to edit it back to the original.

I pretend only to level up my Arcane to 15 (so I can use the Old Hunter Bone), but should I go for 50 skill? This weapon at +10 only has a B scaling so it shouldn't get that much of a boost post 25, right? I don't think it's worth it leveling up Arcane to 25 because the damage increase is not good enough if you don't have good Arcane gems.

Does anyone know if it's possible to do the pull move Gehrnam did? That move was so awesome!
Compared to the church pick,
Pros
-powerful dodge attacks
-moveset is excellent against groups
-very fast charged heavy (untransformed) or very powerful charged heavy (transformed)
-innate arcane
-Transformed L2 is very useful against single targets.
Cons
-Not buffable
-transformed uncharged heavy is weird
-neither serrated nor righteous.
-lower physical damage
In conclusion, use the burial blade over the church pick if you're the kind of hunter who finds themselves hunting foes either humanoid or numerous, or foresee themselves making great use of the dodging attacks.
