Lost Children of Antiquity are enemies that guard the walls of Cainhurst Castle in Bloodborne. Their ashen skin and perfect stillness recall a stone gargoyle. Sometimes they will swoop down from a tower, but most often they will be crouching on the walls, motionless, seeking to blend in with the snowy stonework of the castle. They have slashing and screeching attacks, but are also quite prone to collapsing if interrupted.
Strategy
- Their defenses are lower when they are static
- Approaching them without sound and surprising them with attacks is effective
- If you distance yourself, they will perform a slashing scream attack with significant and deceptive range.
- Screech attacks deal physical damage.

Should also add that their scream attacks do real life damage as well.

Lost children of antiquity? Where the hell does that come from?

Good for farming chunks, and the best source for radial cursed nourishing gems. Gotta thank these guys for existing

Excellent for farming Blood Stone Chunks early on. With 362 Discovery, I tend to get about one chunk almost every run of the Cainhurst Castle area. Keep bold hunters marks ready to respawn back at the lamp. Shouldn't take too long, after maybe 30-40 minutes, I've gotten about 8-9 chunks this way, and the Gargoyles are easy af to beat. If you need eye runes to increase Discovery, you can get a +70 Eye Rune by killing Master Willem in Byrgenwerth before Rom. You can also get a +100 Eye Rune from a Chalice Glyph that someone created. As of today it still works, and a youtube video is available to show how to get the eye rune. Glyph code is p2tbyrh2, and the youtube video is called "Early Tier 3 Eye Rune" by Shinku no Yami. If you really need to boost item discovery, getting these two runes is a must, and you can equip them both simultaneously! I equipped these, raised my arcane to about 32 I think, and I'm getting chunks 8/10 runs in Cainhurst Castle. You can farm them in other areas but this is definitely the easiest method if you are patient. Good luck!

Somehow on my first run through Ihyll to Yharnam I never noticed the Gargoyles on the ceiling... creeped me out when I noticed them on a recent run

They more closely resemble strigoi than gargoyles.
Anyway what everyone neglects to mention with farming Blood Stone Chunks at Cainhurst is that you need a high Discovery stat for them to drop. High arcane build and Willem's Eye rune does the trick.
Tying drop rates to a stat that's pretty useless in battle was a bad design choice. Oh, well. Just farm the lecture theater for a while.

this is probably just a glitch with my game, but I killed two gargoyles and they still appear to be breathing, along with gnashing their teeth and blinking. anyone else see this?
They also drop nourishing gems in chalice dungeons. I've found some radials in pthumerian dungeons, but haven't found any in other dungeons yet, so I don't know if they also drop triangular/waning.

I think they are vampires not gragoyles....they drink your blood and have that bat like sound attack...

The article says these enemies are not beast nor kin, but they have the same weaknesses the Kin do. They are weak to bolt, Thrust. The LHB in normal mode wrecks these baldy chunk dropping old buggers.
The English name - very somber and flowery, thematically fitting for the setting
The Japanese name - O L D B A S T A R D
