Lonely Old Woman | Bloodborne Wiki

Thought she was a right twat til she gave me some items...

Submit

She got annoying at first but I grew to like her and even feel bad for her. She seems to be suffering from demencia giving that she confuses you with her children.

Submit

it actually sounds like the poor old lady had a family once, due to her dialogues when you hit her;
“I’m your mother!”
“It’s your father’s blood…”

Submit

She's so sweet, I love the granny

Submit

I call her the Hag or Old Bat

Submit

Kind of a bizarre NPC. Her "story" amounts to very little, and the reward for interacting with her in the long term is pretty negligible.

Submit

Die you useless boomer.

Submit

Stupid old lady.

Submit

I killed her and when I first met her, what should I do? how do I get it back?how to go further along the storyline and what to do in general? I play on the playstation

Submit

Ever since I’ve gotten one sedative from her, only one, I’ve had what looks like a buff next to my quick item. Is there any info on this? Is doesn’t come from any blood gem, and it’s persisted through deaths and returning to the Dream.

Submit

Sedatives are specifically created at Byrgenwerth. She is old. Maybe an old member of Byrgenwerth? She has access to a lot of sedatives. Caryll?

Submit

If she is giving you sedatives, and you kill her, then she says "It's your father's blood...." If you check the Sedatives description, it states that it is thick human blood used to calm the nerves. Meaning that she has been using her dead(presumably) husband's blood to sedate not only you, but herself as she's going through this. It might be why she's near a grave when she dies trying to get more sedatives. She could possibly be at the grave of her dead husband harvesting his body for blood. Blood that has obviously coagulated and thickened.

Submit

If you kill her, she mutters “It’s your father’s blood.” As she dies.... very odd.

Submit

I got the sedatives from her after engaging but not beating the Shadow of Yarnham, also i have yet to kill the Darkbeast Paarl So I had killed at the time (about 50 minutes ago I guess haha cause now I'm done with the Shadow) Cleric Beast, Father Gascoigne, Blood-starved beast, the Witch of Hemwick and Vicar Amelia Though I did already go to Forsaken Cainhurst Castle, Lecture Building first floor and only light the Nightmare Frontier lamp (I plan to do that after I kill Martyr Logarius and maybe Rom the Vacuous Spider).

Submit

I killed Rom and when I returned she was gone. Just a bloodstain around her chair and a sedative but I had never gotten sedatives before. What could it mean??

Submit

Not that I dislike nice, good looking elf girls doing the wedding dance for me all night long, but reality has nothing to do with this (and excuse me here) "Tolkien beauty fascism" were old and ugly equals always beeing "evil". Sure BB is only a game but at some point your brain says gg if you march too far into Middle-Earth extremes.

Submit

She also says "Oh, the good old days, what a laugh, eh?" after she says "Ohh, how did we ever get into this mess?" and sobs.

Submit

on the red moon phase, the time she was suffering from dementia, she thinks that you're her son or daughter, which is why she is incredibly kind. later on, i decided to kill her bc i was about to finish the game, and her dying words are "it's your father's blood..."

im assuming that her husband was abusive? which is why she's lonely? i dont know. i just wanted to add this little piece of info here.

Submit

Holy crap. I'm on NG+1 and wanted to get the grandma to the cathedral (as I forgot before; I beat Cleric Beast, Gasgoine and Amelia meanwhile) and I arrived at the place but there was Patches. He gave me the same (or almost the same) dialogue like he gives in Forbidden Woods, about the shrouded old church next to the cathedral and gave me a Tonsil Stone. It was for sure grandma's house. He killed her I guess.

Submit

I got mad at how ungrateful she was so I killed her. I had to do 2 or 3 heavy attacks to do so. And the old lady at the entrance got scared of me, and after i left and came back she blamed herself for the murder of the ungrateful lady.

Submit

There's so many different potentially crazy theories regarding how she dies, but like there's an Amygdala sitting on the bloody roof and I've never read anything about the evil nightmare monster being a potential killer... ah well, maybe he only tries killing me.

Submit

When I first met her and even after I sent her to the safe Cathedral Ward, I was appalled at how despicably ungrateful she was to me. Later, once she started griefing in anguish I felt a slight lightening of my anxious contempt towards her, as such despair is the rightful act of karma. You can guess I was very surprised and felt a bit awkward when later I came back to her welcoming me and wanting to.... ease my pain. I received her offerings as forms of apology, but I grudgingly thought to myself, "These still don't make me forgive you for how you acted towards me when we first met." But when I returned again I found the note on her chair of her leave, probably to get more medicine for me. Not knowing what to feel, I sat down in front of the chair and waited, compelled enough to wait as the note said... As I sat, I thought "This Cathedral Ward is the only safe place around, a place she wanted to take shelter in for protection when we first met, but why would she knowingly leave? That would just be a stupid act of suicide. Has she finally lost sanity to that point? Wait... is it because I told her I was in need of more healing? Is she risking her life out there just to ease my pain because I asked her to? Alright, I forgive you for all the bad you've shown me, just don't throw your life away like this!" I returned again, relieved to see she made it back safely. Feeling as though she would feel horrible and despairingly useless if I didn't take the gifts she risked her life for, I accepted them. Then came the moment when she again didn't have any to give me. Taking a moment to understand what I've done, I realized that I've made a horrible mistake: I asked her to leave again so selfishly and I couldn't take it back. When I returned, I found the note again and prayed for her safety, but something caught my eye when I turned to look outside: an item outside? No.. it couldn't be..? I hastingly rushed out there to find her bloodsplattered corpse next to a grave with the gift she left to get for me. Riddled with grief, I left a message to give her corpse proper care, and returned to the only one left in the Cathedral Ward. He reassured what I guessed but didn't entirely accept, that she was murdered, and when he said it could've been a person coming from the outside, I strikingly remembered that right before I came there, I dealt with Alfred and the queen, and that the grave area was within the path he would've taken back to where I first met him. I rushed over there, preparing to question him and probably killing him out of the burning desire for revenge I felt, but it was too late..... Now I will never know if he was the one to do it, and I will forever remember the regret I felt that day. I wonder if that grave is for somebody she knew, and she was visiting their grave before she came back? Even coming here, I find no answers to these questions...

After getting all the sedatives from her (1, then 2, then 3) she will eventually leave a note asking that you wait a little longer. Eventually she returns and will again give you 1 more sedative. Next time you return she will be gone again and another note will be there asking you to wait again, however, if you look just outside the door next to her chair, you will see her dead. On her body is a single sedative, which I assume she went out to get for you. Sad really.

Submit

She was kind to me even before beating Rom, she started speaking to me kindly after I beat Shadows of Yharnam.

Submit

I think she drugged her child to death in order to save it from the nightmare. This action drives her to insanity and she ends up mistaking you for her child as she relives it again. Guilt ridden, she overdoses out in the graveyard.

Submit

"After beating Rom/during blood moon [unconfirmed], she is very kind. If you answer "I have my woes" at this point, she will give the Hunter an increasing amount of Sedatives. 1 the first time, 2 the second, 3 the third." I don't know who rom is but I got her to give me all that right after defeating amelia and I don't think the blood moon appear until the spider battle in the sea (is that Rom?)

Submit

I only did this once, so any confirmation would be nice. I have come to suspect that she only leaves the Cathedral after you exhaust her supply is Sedatives. I went looking for her, and went back to knock on her door at her house. No answer, but she reappeared back at the Cathedral with more Sedatives. After I took her supply she left again. I forgot to go check her house before progressing the game and she died. This leads me to believe that unless you go after her and clear the streets, she dies on the way back home. So try knocking on her door as soon as she vanishes.

Submit

It wasn't the Abhorrent Beast, or any beast for that matter, as I had already murdered the Abhorrent Beast when I met him in the Woods. So did she commit suicide due to the madness the Great Ones have brought? Was she tired of being alone, frightened and snapped? Or was she really murdered? I wanna say it was suicide thanks to the dialogue after killing Vicar Amelia. "Oh, How did we ever get into this mess *sobs*" "Stay away from me. I know all your tricks." Or did I trigger her suicide by taking all of her sedatives, leaving her to go into a frenzy?

Submit

Oh, How did we ever get into this mess *sobs*

Submit

The sky has turned dark, I have beaten the shadows of yharnim bossfight and lit the lantern by byrgenwoth and immediately teleported back to the hunter's dream, she gives me sedatives even though I haven't even enterd the academy.

Submit

I used the wall jump early in the game and noticed that the man that gives you the Tonsil Stone and the Lonely Old Woman switch locations. She now is afraid of me and constantly tells me to leave her alone. Wondering if I can still send her to the chapel?

Submit

That strange creature sitting on the floor, or whatever it was, had me fooled. I immediately assumed it was a creature and struck it, killing it instantly. It wasn't until after when he said, "I just wanted to help..." that I realized I had possibly made an error. After having watched this, I realize there are all these twists and turns to the story. Honestly, it is aggravating because none of it is direct. When I arrived at the Suspicious Beggar, I did not even have the option of telling him to go anywhere, which is likely a result of these multiple NPC mistakes. Incredibly lame.

Submit

I have a theory the amygdala grabbed her while she was possibly searching the corpse of the man wearing the hunter set, that or the saw the amygdla, went mad, and killed herself.

Submit

When you kill her she says "it's your fathers blood" and drops one sedative.

Submit

I went to get her to Odeon Chapel, and when I knocked the door the dialog that tells me to go to the church plays. Now pretty much every single door I knock on has the same dialog. Please help!

Submit

It's not that she becomes grateful and nice towards you. She just snapped and lost her mind, now she thinks you're her dead(?) daughter. The daughter probably died from frenzy.

Submit

I already killed Cleric Beast, Father Cascoigne and Bloodstarved Beast - and then I spoke to the Old Lady.

Submit

I confirm that she is very kind after beating Cleric Beast, Father Gascoigne, Witch of Hemwick, Blood-Starved Beast, Darkbeast Paarl, Vicar Amelia and Shadow of Yharnam (Patch 1.05).

Submit

If you kill her, she says a dialogue "It was your... Father's blood" Is that new? Before i dont remember her saying that when killing her.
