Monocular used to View things up close.

Not a hunter's tool, but a simple antique, to be used as one
sees fit.

The Monocular can be found on the Yharnam Path in the Cathedral Ward. There's only one, and it's infinitely reusable. Looking through the Monocular zooms the camera and places a crosshair on the screen. You can use this to aim firearms and items. Firearms can only be used from a short distance away, but this can let you aim at a specific weak point on an enemy. Items, on the other hand, can often be used from farther away; specifically, Throwing Knives and Poison Knives can be thrown from quite some distance. They'll do less physical damage from long range, but this doesn't matter much in the case of Poison Knives You can't run while using the Monocular, but you can quickstep. To exit the Monocular view, you need to activate the item a second time, making it difficult to juggle back and forth between zooming in and using Throwing Knives. The best use of the Monocular is to examine the scenery for lore clues and beautiful vistas.

Treasure in (Main Story): Cathedral Ward; after the Church Giant, down the Stairway Gate on Yharnam Path guarded by Huntsman Minions. If you need further assistance to find the garb, you can follow the full Cathedral Ward Map.

You can use it to manually aim firearms and range items. This is especially useful for Simon's Bowblade ranged attacks and Church Cannon. For more information check Enemy Weak Points page.

Tip: For perfect in-game environmental photos - Turn off your HUD, use the Monocular and perform gesture "Sit" to completely remove your character from the screen.
