Locations in Bloodborne are the places and areas you can explore during gameplay where you will interact with NPCs, defeat enemies and bosses, and progress the story. In Bloodborne, locations are separated into areas that come with Lamps locations that act as checkpoint for players. You may view the locations to find detailed Walkthroughs, Items and Maps, as well as other information about Bosses and Enemies.

AnonymousI noticed that the Moon moves around as if it is keeping an eye on the player, also there's evidence that there's more than one Moon. (this is my theory, I never looked it up so it's not a spoiler, pls don't spoil anything.) After fighting Vicar Amelia and before Rom. I noticed a most peculiar thing, if you walk strait out of the Cathedral Ward, the Moon is on your left (I will call that East) but if you go though Hemwick Charnel Lane to where the road stops next to the Witches Abode, the Moon will now be out over the lake to the west, opposite of where it was. (you don't warp to these locations, you can physically walk from one to the other.) If you go to Hypogean Gaol, Unseen Village, where you find the message "Behold the Pale Moon!" the Moon is now to the north. If you go to the Abandoned Workshop, a place surrounded by buildings, hidden from the world, where this all started, the Moon is directly above you. Look at a game map. The moon is in the East and the West and North and UP all at the same time... Also there may be more than one "Moon"... if I can even call it that anymore. I never trusted the moon and this game does a great job of confirming my suspicions. The moon effects much more than anyone ever realizes "Madmen toil surreptitiously in rituals to beckon the moon..." as does my dog, the beast, he does not trust that menace, nor do I.

the lore is very much intresting.. but the lore is kinda short and only a few sentences. it has very fascinating lore but it needs a little bit more lore. there could be more lore of yharnam, even though i find it intresting. its just not anoth storyline, if were stuck on one path there isnt anymore to discover, its mostly just about the plague and the city of yharnam.this is my personal opinion but u can have another! :>

Buttons to different Headstones locations won't work for me. Is it a general issue?

Does anybody know how to open the gate to the right in the hq I want to see in it but can't find out what to do for it

To be honest, I wish there were more areas in this game. They could have had a prison, a marsh, a theatre-like area, a tower-like area like the one you can see from the Nightmare of Mensis and maybe even an underground city. I would have happily taken that over the chalice dungeons since they really don't add anything to the game and get really repetitive.

To me, it sounds like the characters in the game are saying 'erden'. How is it really supposed to be pronounced?
Anyone notice that if you do certain emotes to the doll she will do an emote back?
For example, i you do any form of bowing she'll bow back, most other emotes result in her tilting her head at you, strangely enough if you do the beg for life emote she claps at you.....don't know how i feel about this

Just before the advent plaza and the one reborn boss there are these kneeling guys that are on fire. They are in some sort of small crater and dont really do anything. There are 2-3 ish of them around this area. However, when attacked their fire goes out. Is there any signifigance to them? or is it a random aesthetic thing?

I need help getting to the forbidden woods. It's my first time playing blood borne and I can't seem to find the way into the second world. I woke up in the third world but haven't been able to go anywhere as all doors are shut, I'm not sure what I've missed from the first world. Please help thanks

Has anybody else noticed that in almost all locations in Bloodborne, the moon in the sky and the shadows cast by you character are not aligned? I mean how can you screw that up? If you're directly facing the moon, your shadow should be directly behind you on the ground, not pointing 50 degrees to your left. Byrgenwerth, Upper Cathedral ward and the Hunter's Nightmare being some of the most notably bad examples of this.

This page needs some serious work. People need to decide whether plaves or lanterns are designated as locations. If you're looking at a location page and scroll to the bottom there's a box where you can quickly see other location in pages. I've won the game twice and I'm pretty sure "old town" and "dream refuge" are not places.

I really love how they make the most of the small areas. Especially with how they use lamps very sparingly in the level design, and instead come up with such cool shortcuts that somehow feel even more exciting to find, and make the area feel very interconnceted
