Key Item

In-Game Description

    The eye of a blood-drunk hunter. Its pupil is collapsed and
    turned to mush, indicating the onset of the scourge of beasts.

    A hunter who goes drunk with blood is said to be taken by
    the Nightmare, destined to wander forever, engaged in an
    endless hunt. It is a fate that no hunter can escape.

  • You will need to acquire Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter before you can enter any of the new expansion areas, so getting it should be a high priority. If you've started a new game, you'll need to make your way through Central Yharnam to the Cathedral Ward. Either purchase the Hunter Chief Emblem to open the gate, or advance through Old Yharnam and the Healing Church Workshop to reach the Grand Cathedral. Defeat Vicar Amelia in the Grand Cathedral and inspect the nearby skull to advance time to Night.

  • Now, upon returning to the Hunter's Dream you'll find the Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter at the foot of the Side Stairway. Take it, return to the Oedon Chapel in the Cathedral Ward and leave the building through the left exit to the Well area. Head over to where the Hunter's attire set was located and allow the Amygdala perched on the chapel to grab you. After a short cutscene, you'll be transported to the Hunter's Nightmare. From this point onward, the gravestone near the rear entrance of the building in the Hunter's Dream will serve as your warp point to and from the expansion areas.

  • When to dive in: Although you can access the Hunter's Nightmare as soon as the game time advances to Night, tackling the new areas this early would pose a severe challenge; you would be at a serious disadvantage against the powerful enemies and bosses that await. For a more balanced experience, a minimum Blood Level of 80 with at least one right-hand weapon upgraded to +9 is recommended. This means either heading into the Hunter's Nightmare after clearing most of the areas in the main game or after considerable Chalice Dungeon play. That said, speedrunners and challenge enthusiasts will find no shortage of opportunities to flex their muscles in these areas by entering as early as possible.

Availability

  • Treasure in (Main Game): Hunter's Dream, defeat Vicar Amelia of the Cathedral Ward and examine the altar in the back of the room to change the in-game time to night. Pick up item and message will say, "The Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter beckons hunters to the Hunter's Nightmare. A deformed creature will whisk you away outside Oedon Chapel."

Notes

  • This Item is part of The Old Hunters DLC.
  • Works the same way as Tonsil Stone for False God to take you into the nightmare.
  • If the Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter isn't showing up, go to: Settings > Playstation Network/Account Management > Restore Licenses.
  • Upon starting New Game+ all of the Key Items (except for Badges, Blood Gem Workshop Tool, Rune Workshop Tool, Short Ritual Root Chalice, Workshop Haze Extractor, Yharnam Stone and Ring of Betrothal) you acquired on your previous playthrough will be stripped away and you'll need to collect them again.
