- This page and the maps are a work in progress. If you spot errors, please report them in the comments so they can be fixed! More maps coming soon,
- Note: The locked door next to the Loot Enemy in Cathedral Ward - It should lead to the Cleric Beast bridge but cannot be opened from either side, this has been confirmed by using shining coins to mark the door from one side, they will also show on the other side. [1]

Area map by Muffinstien/Muffiethegreat:

Area map by Hypn0tyk - see more in Overall World Maps

Perspective map by Ultima - see more in Overall World Maps

- ^ The "So You Want To End A Nightmare" Map is not 100% correct in terms of game advancement. Some changes include: Cleric beast as a dead end branch since its area does not lead anywhere, Hemwick Charnel Lane branches off of the Blood Starved Beast, the Blood Starved Beast is before Vicar Amelia.
- Blood Starved Beast is a required boss that is not listed. A way to cut down required bosses is to jump over Iosefka's Clinic wall and gain immediate access to the forbidden woods. If done you skip Gascoigne, the Beast, and Vicar leaving only The Shadows, Rom, The One Reborn, Nicolash, Nurse and Gerhman. 6 required bosses to beat the game.

The Forbidden Woods are all screwed up. Snake pits are in the wrong location, graveguard set is in the wrong spot, and the right spot for it doesnt even exist on the map. There's also a few drop-downs that arent shown, like the one at topbof bubblehead valley.

Can you guys please please please make these PNG? The text and symbols is very low quality with JPEG. JPEG is good for many things. This isn't one of them. Drop the background texture and use a palletized PNG and pngcrush if the filesize is an issue. It's just tragic to see such nice original content and a lot of work getting destroyed by JPEG artifacts.

can't wait to see a map for the forbidden woods. I feel like there has to be a handful of hidden spots that I missed, which might be the reason why it hasn't been done yet.

Kept going in circles trying to find the Shadows of Jerknam in the Forbidden Forest. Nice to have some bearings in the larger areas.
Forbidden woods > Byrgenwerth > Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (Only after boss is defeated and only once per NG) Lecture Building > Nightmare of Mensis Grand Cathedral > Yahar'gul, Unseen Village (Generic route, available continuously after Rom boss fight.) > Yahar'gul Chapel > Lecture Building (Possibly only once but most likely.)

It might be useful to indicate which areas have lamps with which to access the Hunter's Dream

On the star for the Temporing Blood Gemstone by the !Loot Enemy on the Cathedral Ward map there is a locked door. Does anyone know where that goes? It's easy to miss. The hallway to the treasure chest is tight, but the door is right next to the chest

What happened to the nightmare of mensis map? Did you guys remove it or is it only not working for me?

Awesome work all around and I know this was discussed on the Bloodborne Subreddit as well as here but the world progression map still hasn't been updated with the corrections. We still need a link between the two floors of the lecture building and the shortcut to Iosefka switched from Forbidden Grave to Forbidden Woods. Also on the Cathedral Ward map to the right of the Grand Cathedral you're still missing the who area where the NPC hunters and the indication that the main building down the cliffs will lead to the Lecture Building as well as Yargul.

Great job guys! Whenever I am stuck in bloodborne I always refer to this site. Thanks for the great work! By far the best

Muffiethegreat here: I'm a bit confused about the debate regarding my map. I've followed my own boss route and the game can definitely be completed without killing the Blood Starved Beast I just did it. Also you can't do the skip and kill Rom, it softlocks your game unless you've killed Amelia first. Also: the map shows the connections between areas, If any bosses are required to access the next area from there, that transition is denoted by an arrow and explained below. The exception to this is bosses that open doors to the next area immediately after they are killed, such as Gascoigne.

Awesome site. My small contribution: There's an extra loot beast in Henwick Chanel Lane not on the map - from the lamp continue to the shortcut elevator to the old barn kill the 'hiding' sythe lady and the dog that jumps at you, proceed up the ladder and the loot beast is in front of you.

How do you open the door next to the chest near the loot enemy in the cathedral ward?

Are the sources available somewhere? So people could add items and whatnot?

Please change the background color of these maps so they may be printer friendly. It's a lot of black

Does that mean i can kill all the enemy's in the world without going back to the hunters dream(or loading screens cuz they will respawn).

The Cathedral Ward map is missing the area that leads to Yahar'Gul to the right of the Grand Cathedral with the NPC hunters and the Amygdala that takes you to the Lecture Building with the Tonsil Stone. If we don't want to bother fully adding that area to the map there should at least be a notation saying, "To Yahar'Gul," to the right of the Cathedral.

Great work with the maps! Just wondering however, will you add the Nightmare of Mensis map?
