Loran Flow Chart

Sinister Chalices				Loran The underground labyrinth is extremely large, and changes its form the deeper it goes. Each part has its own unique appearance and tendencies, though, and these are divided into four distinct areas: Pthumeru, Hintertomb, Loran and Isz. Loran specifics Every Loran dungeon is covered entirely in sand. Loran dungeons are sometimes near to gigantic crevices, separating rooms with perilous rope bridges. They are home to many beast-type enemies. Beast Patients are the most common enemy type. Blood Gems that appear in Loran dungeons have a high chance to be Fire or Bold elemental. Loran Silverbeasts guard floor levers.

Root Chalices

In order to get the Chalice needed to craft the Ailing Loran Labyrinth, you have to defeat Amygdala at the end of the Nightmare Frontier. Doing so also unlocks the Coldblood Flowerbud ritual item in the Insight shop back at the Hunter's Dream, which you need at least four of in order to perform the ritual. As this is likely your first Depth four Chalice Labyrinth, it's strongly advised to try it with a co-op partner. If you venture in solo, you're going to have to be very patient when moving from room to room, drawing out enemies one at a time and using interrupts and Visceral Attacks to maximize your damage output. There are a lot of Beast type enemies in this dungeon, so bringing Fire weapons is highly recommended. Old Hunter Allies: With patch v1.07 a wide variety of new and existing NPCs have been added to the main game, the Old Hunters areas and the Chalice Dungeons to aid you during the hunt, particularly during boss fights. The conditions for summoning these allies vary; the “Old Hunter Bell” is a universal requirement for calling any of them. In some areas you may be able to summon up to two NPC Hunters. In Ailing Loran you can summon Old Hunter Beastclaw Josef on Layer 3 for Abhorrent Beast boss, shortly after passing the lamp on this floor you'll come to a crossroads room; take the path on the right and follow it round. The summon point is in the small room you enter in the top right corner. Summoning him will not allow you to summon Old Hunter Vitus on this floor. You can also summon Old Hunter Vitus on Layer 3 for Abhorrent Beast boss, before entering the Abhorrent Beast boss room, look in the corner to the left and you'll find this summon sign. Uses a Beast Cutter and fights from a longer range than Josef, so he tends to last longer.

+ Layer 1 Walkthrough

Step 01: Creatures that are being spawned by a Bell Ringer within this room will start to attack you as you draw near it, so be ready to fight your way past them When you make it to the room just before this one, you can lure the enemies up the stairs, and then drop down and sprint past them if you wish. Once you're in this room, turn left and go up the stairs straight away to reach the Bell Ringer walking around at the top. Step 02: There are quite a few male and female Beast Patients in this room, along with a Wandering Nightmare and Nightmare Apostle at the far end. You should try to kill as many of the Beast Patients as possible without going too far into the room, so you can create a clear path to the Wandering Nightmare and fight it without having to worry about the other enemies. Step 03: A group of female Beast Patients patrol around the central pillar in this large room - try to lure them towards you one at a time without going past the pillar yourself. Standing directly behind the pillar is a Ashen Blood Beast Patient, so you'll want to clear out as many of the smaller females as you can before moving up to take him on If you walk up along the side of the pillar you can get close enough to him to use a charge R2 without getting detected, giving you a significant early advantage in the fight.

Step 04: Try to stay clear of the section of floor in this room, because it will crumble beneath you if you step onto it. You'll drop down to a tunnel on the floor below, and have to make your way back up again. There are a couple of sleeping Beast Patients along the wall on the opposite of the room, so try to attack them before they get up and keep an eye on your surroundings to ensure that the fights never stray too close to breakable section of floor. Step 05: A small group of Nightmare Apostles guard the chests in this room, but even though there aren't many of them, you should be careful, because these enemies can inflict large amounts damage very quickly. By going around to the left after entering the room you'll be able to see one of them up ahead, so use a Pebble or Throwing Knife to lure it towards you quietly. Once that first one is down you can work your way around the room taking out the others as you come to them. If a couple chase after you at once, remember that you can shoot them to knock them over and buy yourself some time. The chests in this room contain some high-level materials, so the reward for dispatching the Apostles is well worth it.

+ Layer 2 Walkthrough

Step 01: The Labyrinth Rats in this room tend to group up, so you may want to consider using Molotovs or even a well placed Cannon shot to take out a few of them in one shot. If they start to close in on you, retreat back through the tunnel and up the stairs, where you'll be able to funnel them through the narrow doorway. Step 02: Another large group of Labyrinth Rats awaits you in this room, along with a Labyrinth Watcher near the entrance, but unlike the previous room, this one has an additional threat in the form of a Beast Claw-wielding Hunter. There's a large pile of pig carcasses blocking the Hunter's view, so if you keep the fight with the rats near the room's entrance, you can kill them all without him getting involved. The Hunter attacks very aggressively, so if you don't want to risk trying to interrupt him, consider using Bone Marrow Ash-buffed Pistol shots while backing away to take him out from range. Step 03: This is a treasure room well worth taking a trip to, because not only does it contain a number of high-level dungeon creation materials, but you'll also be able to acquire the Beast Claw weapon that you need in order to get the Hunter's Essence Trophy. The coffin containing it is guarded by a Loran Silverbeast, so make sure you equip a fire weapon to make the fight much easier.

Step 04: There's a Bell Ringer summoning enemies in this room, use the entryway to funnel in any summoned Nightmare Apostles one at a time so as not to get overwhelmed. Find the Bell Ringer wandering around the open area just ahead, so run straight for her and kill her. Once she's be dealt with, go down the staircase and try to lure all of the Labyrinth Watchers towards you, so you can fight them near the stairs. A Loran Cleric is standing in the corner of the room, and fighting the other enemies near those stairs allows you to kill them without alerting him. When you engage him, be careful of where you take cover, because his projectiles can destroy the pillars in this room. Step 05: A large number of summoned Nightmare Apostles will start coming after you as soon as you reach the room before this one, because there are not one, but two Bell Ringers summoning them. Fighting your way through the large group can be very dangerous - try to use the trees in that room to help you run around the Apostles, so that you can go straight for the Bell Ringers. One of them patrols around the upper part of the room, so take her out first, and then quickly drop down to the lower part to kill the other one.

+ Layer 3 Walkthrough

Step 01: There are two Bell Ringers in this room, so you're going to have to contend with a lot of summoned Nightmare Apostles. The first Bell Ringer patrols the bottom part of the room - locate her first and take her out quickly. The second one can be found at the top of the stairs, so use whichever staircase is free of Apostles to reach her and take her out before the Apostles catch up to you. Step 02: There are Loran Clerics hidden amongst the pillars on either side of the walkway in this room. They're far enough apart that you can take them on one at a time without the other being able to interfere, but you'll need to take care that you don't accidentally knock them down into the room below, where you may potentially run into them later. Step 03: If you have any Blue Elixirs, it's recommended that you use one in this room, and then walk along one of the side walls, so that you can get behind the Labyrinth Madman that's guarding the lever. Once there, you can land a charged R2 from behind, with a Visceral Attack follow-up to finish him off easily. Step 04: As soon as you open the door here, a Scourge Beast on the other side will leap forward and try to attack you; roll backwards immediately after opening the door to avoid the attack. The beast can't follow you through the doorway, so you can simply use long-range weapons or attacks to safely kill it.

Step 05: There's a Wandering Nightmare sat atop a treasure chest in this room, but if you want to kill it before it can disappear you'll need to take a bit of a risk. Standing around the chest are a number of male and female Beast Patients, and on the floor around it are pressure plates that trigger flaming arrow traps. If you want to kill the Wandering Nightmare, you'll have to run between them and try to kill it quickly before they close in. The only way to avoid having to do this is if you're carrying some Pungent Blood Cocktails, because then you'll be able to throw one to distract the Beast Patients long enough for you to kill the Wandering Nightmare. The chest in this room contains two Bastard of Loran items, which you'll need to make some of the upcoming dungeons. Step 06: More Bastards of Loran (along with other materials) can be acquired in this room, so it's worth crossing over the bridge to come here. You only have to contend with a lone Loran Silverbeast before you can loot the room, so as long as you have a fire weapon or can use Fire Paper on your weapon of choice you should be able to dispatch him fairly quickly.
