Basic Information

File Directory Extraction - text file [read] provided by /u/gnord, there are 231 directories and 16893 files.
On Nov 2017 Bloodborne tools were released by daemon1, opening path to properly datamine Bloodborne's files which includes models, textures and other assets. In Data Mining page are listed unused enemies, NPCs and weapons as well as inside look on how the game operates. Huge thanks goes to Sanadsk, Gibbed and Lance McDonald for exploring files and sharing all the discoveries, BellringerKat for going through the text files and Richard Pilbeam for formatting and really helping out.

NovaTheLoneHunter created Data Mining Mega Thread for Bloodborne subreddit wiki.
github.com/openborne for further datamining tools was created by albeartron and qnord

Bloodborne Tools DL, courtesy of daemon1

Released on Nov 26, 2017 on XeNTaX game research forum. Feel free to give daemon1 thanks for all his hard work.

Usage

1. unpack .dcx archives with current bindertool
2. drop .flver files onto BloodBorne_model.exe to get models
3. drop .tpf files onto Bloodborne_texture.exe to get textures

Notes about models

Multiple UV pairs will only be exported to ASCII.
model skeletons in both SMD and ASCII will be broken, delete them.
to get animation skeleton, you need to put skeleton.hkx next to the tool when extracting. This file is usually found in animation archive of that character. This animation skeleton will not be perfect (some bones may be missing, and can be shifted somehow). This will be fixed later. If no skeleton.hkx file present, skeleton may be in another .HKX file for that model. Rename it to skeleton.hkx for convertion.

Text Documents

Dialogue Reference contains the whole dialogue script for all characters from the base game (no League & DLC). Subtitle text was extracted by BellringerKat, Audio extracted by JackSparrow420, formatted and compiled by Richard Pilbeam. Unused subtitled dialogue highlighted in this color. Unused audio dialogue without subtitles highlighted in this color. Characters are in alphabetical order. UPDATE: On Jan 13, 2018 Sanadsk was able to extract files from The Old Hunters DLC.
Original story draft [Wiki Page] - found in huge text dump, written in Japanese. In December 2017 extracted by Sanadsk and translated by Lokey. This early draft align with pre-release tidbit of story published on portuguese store fnac.pt (translation) in February 2015. Not all of the dialogues were translated, as some of them were duplicates of existing dialogues. For more information check the Bloodborne Original Cut Dialogues document.
Bloodborne Master Spreadsheet (Public), this spreadsheet was compiled by Sanadsk. It includes the IDs for the Weapons, Armors, Items and Characters which were dumped from the files of Bloodborne and were fully reorganized for a more user-friendly approach. Special Thanks to ZullieTheWitch, id-daemon, luxox18 and rivernyxx for their huge help into making Datamining Bloodborne possible!

Datamined Character IDs contains complete list of all character IDs 6040 - 7220 and stats, these are taken directly from the game files.

Notes from text files

Hunter's Dream map was almost certainly the very first map that From designed judging by its index and then every other map follows in sequence.
The dead family that the Suspicious Beggar is eating are listed as NPCs, not just corpse models, they were probably going to be actual interactive characters who were sheltering in the windmill.
Other hostile hunters code, "Bone Ash Hunter Carla", "Vileblood Drifter Leo" and "Defeated Hunter".
Queen Killer was probably coded as "Ardeo Man"
The list of NPC and bosses is not complete and there's a character named "Heroine" right after "Slug Princess" and followed by "Doll" and "Gehrman".
In the files you can find for example "Shadow Loran", where it's a prefix like Sinister, Fetid, Rotted, and Cursed. It turns out Shadow was just an earlier version of Fetid.
Two unused ritual materials are "Vermicum" and "Radiant Eelworm".
"Gremia Tomb: Depth 1" could've been the physical entrace to the Labyrinth. The "Hunter of the Blood of Glemia" set was found in the Alpha version of the game.
Alternative and/or unused names for Caryl runes: "Oedon Liason", "Destroyer", "Reveller".

Short description of the Rune Workshop Tool: "Enables etching Caryll's runes into one's consciousness". Since people speculated if the hunter did actually etch them on their skin or not.
"Petrified Blood Gems" were used to get gems the same way we obtain special ones from Amelia's pendant, the Doll's Tear, and the Red Brooch. Here's the description for a few of them: "Petrified Blood Gem: Acquire Droplet Blood Gem" - "Petrified Abyssal Gem: Acquire Circular Abyssal Blood Gem".
The Italian text files contain an interesting localization error: The description of the Chikage is the same as the one in the final game (which is identical to the English one), but the blade is, for whatever reason, named Rakuyo. Despite it being clearly an error, it proves that the translation team was already in possession of the DLC item descriptions and dialogues or at least some of them back when the main game came out. Or perhaps Rakuyo was the original name for the Chikage and it was changed later on.

Sound Files

The Actual Soundtrack of Bloodborne: Credit goes to JackSparrow420 for going through the sound files and sharing this. Soundtrack files .at9 is 184MB. These files will need to be converted to wav. There are included two tools necessary for this conversion inside the zip - at9tool.exe and at9convert.jar. When fully converted, these 43 files will take up a 2GB. Thus, you will need at least 2GB free space if you want all 43 tracks in wav form. Needless to say, this is the purest way to listen to Bloodborne's soundtrack.

Read Me:

You must have Java in order to run at9convert.jar. You can still use the at9tool.exe, but you will have to convert files one at a time. In other words, the at9convert.jar is just for efficiency. It will automatically find and convert every at9 file in its current location in a loop until they are all finished.
For those that are completely inept at all things computers, don't worry. This tool is stupid-easy. Place the at9tool.exe and the at9convert.jar in the folder with the at9's you wish to convert. You can convert as many at9's as you would like. (Lots of them are just different versions of the same song)
Run the at9convert.jar on the command line: java -jar at9convert.jar ...(you can also run it by double clicking)
If you don't have java, open up the command line and run at9tool.exe by hand for every file: at9tool -d < at9fileName.at9 > < wavfileName.wav >

Bloodborne's maps files are split up into "levels" named m21,m22,23,m24,m25,m26,m27,m28,m29,m32 and m33. For most of the files, you can see that they start with one of those tags. The filenames have not been changed, so this tag lets us know which group they came from. As far as track listing, the only thing known so far is that m21 is the Hunter's Dream, m24 is Central Yharnam/Cathedral Ward and m23 is Old Yharnam. The rest overlap a good amount.
m240000051.at9 is the menu music, and the wav at the root of the zip is more menu music. The rest are proper boss fights, as well as the music in the dream.

Additional tools for converting .at9 file made by NovaTheLoneHunter. This .zip contains ffmpeg.exe and a .bat file to help make it easier to convert all Bloodborne's .at9 to .wav and full quality .mp3 after.

# How to:

Place the convert-all.bat and ffmpeg.exe into the same folder containing at9tool.exe and Bloodborne's .at9 sound files you want to convert.
Then double-click run convert-all.bat and Then choose an operation you want to perform.

The Sound Effects of Bloodborne: Credit goes to JackSparrow420 for going through the sound files and sharing this. Sound effects are in .wav format and zip file size is 122MB. It includes all the stuff like: retrieval, healing, magic, explosions, messengers, menus, blood and guts and everything in between.

All Dialogues (Audio): Bloodborne All Dialogues is a series of videos from muge, finished on July 15, 2018, ‬for all the dialogue lines from Bloodborne, in all the languages that the game received a dub for. This series includes the other languages the game was dubbed, particularly: German, French, Italian, Latin-American Spanish, Spanish (Europe), Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese, and also includes the cut and/or unused dialogues in those languages as well. These are extracted directly from the game's files, and are therefore free of background/ambient sound.

Cut/uncut dialogues: Credit goes to JackSparrow420 for going through the sound files and sharing this. For characters, their audio is split into two locations. The first would be in folders that represent each "level" in Bloodborne, which contain all of the dialog for the characters that appear in that level. For things like attacks, screams or taunts, you would have to go into a different folder, one for each individual character. These clips from the Doll are the only thing that I have found that is not in that script, aside from the Gehrman dialog. Lets get into it. First, let it be noted that this was found in the folder for the Cainhurst dialog. So these clips are right next to Queen Annalise and Alfred's. Most likely they used the actress' voice as a placeholder until they found the real Queen or something, as she has some lines that are essentially identical to Annalise.

"Is someone there? Well, whoever you are it matters not. I will not die, tarnished as I am. You came here for naught, be off with you. Cease this. I am Queen of the Vilebloods. The Healing Church binds all tongues, now off with you. You are a peculiar one, you have nothing to gain by speaking with me. Well if you truly do not fear the Healing Church, tell of your thoughts, your desires. I...I am afraid, that... I cannot do. Please, I do not wish to lose anyone else. But thank you, it was a kind offer, my ancestors smile. I can help with other things, holding no contracts. Anything that you wish, anything at all. Very well, you are kind to me. You are a friend. I will help you, however I can. You are welcome here. What do you require? I see. Now you must go. A blessing upon you, and your heartfelt kindness. Oh dear me, have I offended you? I am Undead, there is nothing you can do to hurt me. They have failed...and so will you."

More Cut Dialog (in the script): Please note that there may be things in here that are in game, and it might not be all of the cut dialog. This includes: Arianna, Blood Minister, Gilbert, Laurence, Password Guy
There is a subfolder inside Willem's folder, which has clips from his in game character, separate from his dialog. This includes some creepy horror movie gibberish, as well as a lot of magic-like sound effects. The magic effects suggests that Willem might have actually had attacks at one point, and may have even been a boss. This theory will have to be proved by ZullieTheWitch or by digging through his animations.

Other Audio: In the zip file there are also random clips that may be of interest to some people. This is all stuff that you have heard in-game. Including: Bellmaiden Chimes, Brainsucker, Egg enemy - This is some of its audio. Little hatchling cries and stuff, Slug Princess, Huntsmen - 50 quotes from mob

The Plain Doll Hums: Credit goes to muge for going through the sound files and sharing this. You will find this short little unused clip of the Doll humming as at9 file [v210402000.at9] in sprj_sm21.fsb.

Albeartron has provided his FSB5_to_ATRAC9(Bloodborne) [source] code which is used for extracting .at9 from .fsb.

Map Data

/u/Bond697 has provided this map data which has been translated. Also some .tpf minimap image data here that looks like chalice dungeon path data: image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 5. It appears that the developers played around with potentially giving the player a minimap in the chalice dungeons. The final images go as far as noting the locations of ladders and other landmarks.
Minimap Images - This is an album of all 90 minimap images [download, imgur]

Dropoff has extracted renders of maps for reflections from all areas, some of them are older map versions. [download]

Menu Textures

UPDATE - download all menu assets: Dropoff published on June 8th, 2018 all datamined UI assets MENU_Common [RAR] and all item art assets MENU_Knowledge [RAR]

MENU_Common_00100.dds: This texture sheet shows off multiple unused icons as well as indication they either planned to or were thinking about allowing the player to hold 3 weapons and guns at the same time.
MENU_Common_00092_dx10.dds: Note icons very similar to Demon's Souls stats. Red is Bleed resistance, Purple and Blue are Disease and Poison, Yellow and Orange are Curse and "Therianthrope". We could see "Therianthrope" bar filling when defeating the Cleric Beast in public alpha tests. In modified TGS/Alpha build you can see them popping up when leveling up the "Willpower" stat.

MENU_Common_00093_dx10.dds: Older, unused blood vial and hunter bullet icons [image]
MENU_Common_00095.dds: faces
MENU_Common_00096.dds: faces

MENU_Icon_00001_dx10.dds: This sheet contains the Revered Great Old One's Coldblood icon as well as a bloody bullet icon and some sort of bullet case icon next to the standard bullet [image]
MENU_Icon_00002_dx10.dds: Contains item menu icons with one unused next to the Spark Hunter Badge [image]
MENU_Common_00005.dds: Hunter's Mark and Carpet
MENU_Icon_00003_dx10.dds: This is a very interesting one, it has what appears to be possibly 5 different types of blood gems, as well as a set of Caryll Runes on small scraps of paper or parchment. It's possible that the player was originally going to transcribe the runes themselves [image]
Gem Sheets: This is an album of every blood gem available. [gem sheet-1, gem sheet-2, gem sheet-3, gem sheet-4, gem sheet-5, gem sheet-6, gem sheet-7, gem sheet-8, gem sheet-9, gem sheet-10, gem sheet-11]
Loading Screen 1, Loading Screen 2: These are 2 loading screens saved in the menu icons. Both are not visible when loading their respective .dds file until you disable the alpha channel on the texture. Then they become perfectly visible.
Status - 1, Status - 2: Status icons for the menu.

Restoring Cutscenes [Examples]

Several unused cutscenes exist in Bloodborne. These are in-engine cutscenes, like those which play during the game, not pre-rendered CG animation, like the movie which plays if the game is left idle on the title screen. Lance McDonald (youtube.com/warpchair) has partially restored them, though the restorations lack audio and feature some camera and lighting glitches due to them not being intended to play in the final game. It was also possible to alter the lighting and camera settings of existing cutscenes to show details which were previously obscured.

Cleric Beast Appearance in the Grand Cathedral: This cutscene depicts the Cleric Beast as the boss of the Grand Cathedral, rather than Vicar Amelia. In this scenario, the Grand Cathedral appears to have initially been empty, with the cutscene and boss fight triggered as the player character approached Laurence's skull.


The cutscene begins with a low angle of the altar, and the camera tilting down toward Laurence's skull.

The player character reaches out to Laurence's skull, but hears something and looks up.


The Cleric Beast drops down from the balcony and confronts the player.

This is similar to the scene in the CG animation where the Cleric Beast confronts the player, although this scene takes place underground.

The Cleric Beast confronting the player character in the Grand Cathedral was also present in the Project Beast trailer, along with a human skull on the altar.

Cathedral Ward Montage: This cutscene is an alternate version of the one which plays when the player enters Oedon Chapel for the first time. Rather than the player only being shown details of the interior of Oedon Chapel, the cutscene would have introduced the entire of Cathedral Ward in a montage.


The player character pushes the door to Oedon Chapel open as in the final game, but it is shown from a slightly different angle and the player character visibly struggles to open it.



A montage then shows the Astral Clocktower, the circular plaza in Cathedral Ward, the exterior of Oedon Chapel, and then finally the interior of Oedon Chapel.

The player character then walks into frame. This is similar to the end of the cutscene in the final game, but the camera is higher up and closer to the player character, meaning that the Oedon Chapel Dweller is not visible (the character may not have existed when this scene was designed).

Huntsmen Entering Cathedral Ward: This cutscene depicts a group of Huntsmen, accompanied by a Hunting Dog and a Huntsman's Minion, entering Cathedral Ward via the gate where the player character first encounters a Church Giant. No equivalent to this cutscene exists in the final game, although it does somewhat resemble a scene in the CG movie. Due to the scene being unfinished, it has multiple visual glitches. The camera clips through pieces of the environment, and the Huntsmen are equipped with multiple weapons in each hand. [No environment]


Huntsmen walk through the gate. The camera lingers on a Hunting Dog as the mob begin approaching Cathedral Ward.

By removing the environment, the mob of Huntsmen are more visible.

This scene is similar to one in the game's CG movie.

A functional, in-engine version of this cutscene featured in the first Project Beast trailer.

Restoring Cutscenes Used [Examples]

Provost Willem Montage: This scene very short, and simply shows Willem from three different angles. It is very unfinished and the environment does not load.


Willem is alive and in his rocking chair.

The angles used match those used in Laurence's memory, although reversed.

Yharnam Sunrise with lighting switched off: By switching off the lighting in the Yharnam Sunrise ending, it is possible to see exactly where the player character wakes up.


The area where the payer character wakes up is outside Oedon Chapel.

However, when the camera angle changes, the player character's location moves to the round plaza in Cathedral Ward.

Laurence's Memories with lighting switched off: When viewing Laurence's memory, the scene fades to black as Laurence leaves Byrgenwerth. However, by removing the fade to black, it is possible to view the model used to represent Laurence.


This shows that Laurence is represented by Micolash's model. This may be an artifact from an earlier version of the story, or simply a placeholder.

Dropoff extracted 360 degree images from this cutscene. [image 1, image 2]

Vicar Amelia Off-Screen Transformation: In the retail release of Bloodborne, Vicar Amelia's transformation into a beast occurs off camera, with only her shadow visible. By extracting the animation files and viewing them in an external program, it is now possible to see the entire transformation sequence. This demonstration was made by Sanadsk.



Amelia's beast form is loaded in outside what the camera can see. When she transforms, the beast form simply slides to her position. Because the transformation occurs in silhouette, this gives the impression of Amelia's shape is transforming into the beast's shape, even though the model itself does not transform. A copy of Amelia's pendant flies away from her human model during the cutscene. It is unclear why. [image 1, image 2]

Restoring Enemies/NPCs [Examples]

Restoring the unused enemies/NPCs on locations of existing ones and making them work in-game. It is not just the case of replacing one files with another - files are decrypted, edited and re-encrypted, and then engine loaded them. It is also possible to swap current enemies/NPCs to make them appear on different location.

For example Slug Princess in place of the Doll in Hunter's Dream; Unknown Boss placed on the Great Bridge in Central Yharnam; King of Skeleton enemies placed under the bridge instead of Huntsman Minion in Central Yharnam. Tiny Orphan Model has no ID or animations. It is possible that it was removed over controversy over child killing. For more information scroll down to the Unused Content portion of the page.

ShrineKnight [ID: c2030] there are two variants: Halberd & Shield, Sword & Shield. Halberd version swings and thrusts with halberd. It can thrust with the halberd through the nook in its shield, and has charging attacks. It can also put the shield away and switch to a two-handed halberd moveset [video].

Willem [ID: c5130 & Name: Proffessor (two f's in original as well)] has unused attack animations where he slams his staff into the ground in front of him. There are one-handed and two-handed variants. Has another unused attack animation in which he points his staff forward, shakes for a while, then stabs the staff through his torso. According to the parameters in the game files, he had the ability to cast magic from his staff, so this animation is probably a "beam" attack of some kind. He also has an animation where he raises his staff in the air, flies straight upward, then lands again. [video]

Chapel Dweller [ID: c1130 & Name: DemonsFanatic] found in some of the unused Chalice Dungeons. Only appears in some versions of the game. He wields a staff that he attacks you with physically. Has a ranged attack where he throws burning liquid from the urn around his neck. He can raise the staff and buff enemies that surround him. The buff makes a blood explosion effect, similar to when you are frenzied. The hunting dogs found in Hemwick are called "BeastOfFanatic", and their ID is right after his in the game files, so he was probably supposed to work with them. [video]

King Ghost Low Class [ID: c2300 & Name: KingGhost_LowClass] there are three variants: Spear & Shield, Sword & Shield, Sword & Orb. Spear & Shield has multiple sweeping and thrusting animations. Sword & Shield has multiple slashing animations, both one and two-handed. Sword & Orb has him hold the orb up high briefly, then swing it foward. This is the same orb weapon that was data mined earlier. He also has several non-combat animations in which he opens doors and climbs ladders. Has a "ghost" texture like the ghosts in Cainhurst. [video]; Update - restored in-game: King of Cainhurst, referred to internally as "GhostKingLowClass". His ID number is only two digits away from Logarius. He looks very similar to Logarius, but is a lot "cleaner" and simpler. Can be loaded with a ball weapon that he tries to smash you with. Can also wield a long spear. [video]

King In Blue [ID: c2310 & Name: KingInBlue] similar to Logarius, but with a large sword. Has animations for swinging it horizontally one-handed, two-handed downward attacks, a one-handed thrusting charge attack and a two-handed thrust. Has an animation where he the sword skyward, then lowers it and readies himself to attack. Presumably this is him buffing the sword. [video]; Update - restored in-game: Other King of Cainhurst, Referred to internally as "KingInBlue". His ID number is only one digit away from Logarius. (Logarius is called "KingReaper"). Looks more like Logarius than the previous king character. He has moves when loaded into Logarius' room. One involves him holding his sword up, then doing AOE damage, but the animation is incomplete. He has a cape which only loads in some areas (not Cainhurst). His sword loads differently in some places too, so it is most likely that the sword could change form (like a buff). Hitbox on his weapon is unfinished and very inaccurate. [video]

Burned Warrior: The name is "Burned Warrior" in the game. They have a unique appearance that looks like cel-shading, where there's a thick black outline around them and their body is a flat shade of orange. A bloom effect is then applied. They can be loaded with different weapons. Variants with a bow, a longsword and a spear. You can use your gun to interrupt their attacks and then perform viscerals. So far no other cut enemies let you do this. Some places load them without the shader effect. When this happens you can see that they have a large growth on the back of the necks (looks a bit like in DkS1 when you get infected with the egg parasite, but with the egg off the side instead of encasing your head). [video]

Big Burned Warrior: A large variant of the above enemies, about the size of the Huntsman's Minion. They don't have the lump on their neck. Can be interrupted and visceraled. So far their moveset isn't loaded properly. They load with a bow, but can't get them to use it. Also they load without their shader in some places. [video]

Moon Presence Final Form: This is the version you fight in the test chalice dungeon. ID is "InheritTheNightmareLastForm". Moveset and hitboxes aren't finished. [video]

Moon Presence Second Form: ID is "Inherit The Nightmare Variation". Looks the same as the model as the one we fight in game, but missing textures and animations. Unfinished to the point where it can't do anything except slide around. [video]

Unused Hunter (prototype): Has a sword and shield. No animations, just a model in a T-pose which can be loaded. Used in one of the early Project Beast trailers. [video]

Father Norbert: Character we've seen before whose clothing matches the portrait in Cainhurst. No animations. No indication in the data as to where he was originally going to be. [video]

Restoring Items [Examples] [video]

Caryll Runes: Originally runes were supposed to be consumable items that you take, in form of the pages from lost book of runesmith Caryll. Descriptions of the pages reads:

"A page from the lost book of runesmith Caryll.
Caryll devoted his life to transcribing the sounds
spoken by the Great Ones.
Read a Caryll Rune to assume its form."

If you use the page you break them (as with unique Blood Gems) and it will grant you the rune. It is possible that this was not how they were meant to be extracted (Rune Workshop Tool) but all pages behave the same in this form. Some names were changed such as "Destroyer" rune (now Clawmark); "Oedon Liason" rune (now Formless Oedon); "Liason" rune (now Oedon Writhe); "Reveller" rune (now Blood Rapture). Also third (top) tier of Guidance rune has not place parameter so it is 100% not possible to obtain this rune in the game.

Queenly Blood: This item heals HP and temporarily boosts stamina recovery very similar to the "Blood Vial of Arianna" with same animation and aura, it was meant to be as Vileblood covenant reward as item description reads:

"Blood received from Annalise, Vileblood Queen of Cainhurst.

Vileblood hunters who offer sufficient blood dregs are
allowed the special honour of imbibing this blood.

The sensually sweet gelatinous blood restores HP and
temporarily speeds stamina recovery."

Clocktower Hunter Badge: This badge is found in the DLC files, it is confirmed to work as regular badge. It isn't any covenant reward, doesn't have any item description nor any effect when loaded into the game.

Bullet Recovery: ID 910, there is only name and the icon so purpose of the item is unclear and left to speculation.

"Doll Repair Kit" Unknown Item: ID 121, there is only the icon so purpose of the item is unclear and left to speculation.

Petrified Blood Gems: They all share the same item description: "Polish to gain a blood gem which fortifies weapons and adds various properties." It is possible they work in the similar concept as the unused Caryll Runes.

Livers / Living Livers: Livers are equivalent of the boss souls from previous Souls titles. For example Liver of Father Gascoigne with description "The soul of Father Gascoigne". A lot of the existing bosses are included but there are some changes in names: Vicar Amelia is Saint Laura; Cleric Beast is Father Norbert.

Various prototype names (text): For example "A call beyond" is called "The anger of Kos"; "Old hunter bone" is "Double accelerator"; and unused one "Dangerous follower" which is described as "damage enemies that you touched without knowing".

Various unused chalice items (text): Ritual Vestige (6); Perfect Ritual Vestige; Coldblood Flower Bulb (6); Tomb Mold Spore (6); Soaring Tomb Mold and Hidden Incoagulable Blood; Cursed Incoagulable Blood; Vermiculum; Radiant Eelworm. All four have description:

"Special material used in a Holy Chalice ritual.
Strange creatures lurk in the nooks and
crannies of the old labyrinth."

Hemwick Coffin Cart: This is an enclosed cart that's only textured from the inside. Loads in Hemwick. Inside are four coffins, four small framed pictures, two incense urns, some flowers and a cloaked statue that looks like the ones in Yahar'gul. All four coffins are unique and unused in the final game. One is very large, one is a variant of the coffins found in the Chalice Dungeons which contain treasure, and the other two are smaller and made of wood. They all have red cloth and candles covering them. The four small framed pictures are all unused, and are of a similar style to the portraits in Cainhurst. There are only really three pictures, with one duplicated to make the four. [video]

Other Hemwick Objects: The coffins from the carriage can be loaded separately, without the red cloth covering them. The large one has no textures when loaded separately. A smaller coffin that has a flower on it. [This flower is a kind of rose that's very close to the ones the Doll wears on her bonnet, and also the designs on Yharnam's dress. Doesn't seem to match any other flowers in the game]. A unique chair asset. The chair is badly damaged but still holds together.

Unused Hemwick map data: for Hemwick includes a very low detail knight wearing something that looks like the Fluted Set from Demon's Souls. Its texture is just bright red with no other detail. [video]

Cainhurst Objects: An ornate chair. A set of armour that's on display. Waist-up, no leggings. It matches the kind found on corpses in the Chalice Dungeons and that's worn by the old man in the portrait in the Cainhurst dining room. Three chests matching the kind found in the Chalice Dungeons, but with a texture that makes it look like they're outside in the snow. [video]

Dead Body: There is an unused static model of a male Yharnamite cradling a skull. It's loaded into the Hunter's Dream. Based on data associated with it, it was interactive at one point, but there's no indication of what it did. The model has no back, so it was meant to be placed up against a wall. [video]

Mass of Flesh: An unused asset from Nightmare of Mensis. Mass of flesh in cages. It has a humanoid leg at the bottom. There are three models and they share IDs with the Garden of Eyes.

Corpse Tombstone

Corpse of the old man loaded into RAM in the Hunter's Dream. From the information QA tester provided these corpses were once tombstones you used to "awake". This further proves the extracted reflective environment map for the Hunter's Dream where you can see such corpses in front of the tombstones.

This expands on dead body object discovery (above): "There is an unused static model of a male Yharnamite cradling a skull. It's loaded into the Hunter's Dream. Based on data associated with it, it was interactive at one point, but there's no indication of what it did. The model has no back, so it was meant to be placed up against a wall."

Hunter's Dream Mirror - Change Character Appearance

The cracked mirror in the Hunter's Dream was originally capable of changing the player character's appearance. This is similar to the "Rebirth" function in Dark Souls 3, although with fewer limitations, as it appears it could change the player character's gender and could be used an unlimited number of times. It is possible to restore this function through modifying the game's files, though only in part, as event code relevant to the function has been entirely deleted and cannot be recovered. [video]

The mirror was activated like any other interactable object in the game, using the prompt "Put on Disguise". The game would then display a message on screen reading "Wear clothing to change appearance".

The "Appearance" menu has not been completely restored, but looks like it would have used the same options and parameters as the character creation screen shown when the player starts a new game. Because the function is not completely restored, the menu appears as a transparent overlay and looks incomplete.

The game contains an unused map node called "Return Point For After Character Remake", suggesting that the player character would move somewhere else when having their appareance altered. Because the function is not completely restored, the player character and camera remain in control of the player.

Warp Chairs & Statues - Early Lantern Prototypes

Warp Chairs were in the alpha, but couldn't be interacted with. They were replaced with lanterns after the alpha. The chairs look different depending on your location, with unique models for Iosefka's Clinic, Central Yharnam, Hemwick, Oedon Chapel, Cainhurst and the Nightmare Frontier. In the final game, the data for lantern positions still calls them "Warp Chairs". [video]

Warp Chairs have a "Phantom" in them that looks like the player. When the Phantom is present, the player is given a Japanese prompt that translates to "Shake Phantom Awake" [幻影を揺り起こす]. This causes the player to put their hand on the Phantom's shoulder and shake them, causing them to disappear. The chair can now be used, with a Japanese prompt translating to "Sit in Sleeping Chair" [寝椅子に座る]. Warp chair fully restored (Presentation Mode)

The chairs take you straight to the Hunter's Dream, there is no warp menu. Animations for the character disappearing from the chair (returning to the Hunter's Dream), and for sitting idle are only used by the phantom you wake up. Player's character sits down and fall asleep, fading to a black screen, when you arrive you wake up and stand up.

More information about working "Warping Chair mechanics" can be found on datamining page for Tokyo Game Show 2014 build [September 18th, 2014] leading on to Alpha tests.

Statues were shown off in early Project Beast trailer. They were an earlier version of the chairs. You activated them by stabbing them with a glowing sword item. This item and animation have been removed, but the statue is still present. They look like the statue behind the Memory Altar in the Hunter's Dream, but are designed so that Messengers can appear around them, and they have a subtle glow effect. [video]

Environment Exploration [Examples]

For more environment exploration with disabled gravity visit the Modded Out of Bounds page.

Working with the game files give us a lot of opportunities to explore the areas in a ways we wouldn’t be able to otherwise. If we remove locked door on the Great Bridge behind Cleric Beast we fall through the map as shown in the video. That being said Bloodborne has an entire Cathedral Ward map file that is never used in game. It would have loaded if the door behind Cleric Beast could be opened. It's possible to load it by skipping Gascoigne’s fight. It’s all the same, except earlier time fo day. So most likely that door definitely was planned to open at some point. The map is fully working and populated by normal enemies.
Update: With disabling gravity we can see the other side of the "Closed" door at Cathedral Ward. Notice you can see the chest at the bottom-left, impropperly displaying when it should be inside the geometry.

The mysterious trap door in Bergenwerth has nothing inside either.

Pillars in the Hunter’s Dream are called „Shrines“ in the game files, by editing positions we can now see them more closely as seen in pictures below.

A nice zoom-out of Central Yharnam, the lower streets which are accessed via Healing Church Workshop.

In the Nightmare Frontier, there are abandonned ship's masts off in the distance in the fog. With map editing, we can bring them to the foreground. [masts in the fog] Another interesting thing about the Nightmare Frontier is that you can actually see Mergo's Loft from the The Nightmare of Mensis off in the distance. Even though you never get close to it, the entire thing is massively detailed and even has a near complete back-side (pictures below).

Interesting look at what is below Astral Clocktower and Fishing Hamlet.

Cainhurst Sequence Breaking: There is nothing behind Logarius until you wear the Crown of Illusions. If you remove the wall and get past it without the crown then you just fall through the scenery. If you hack the headstones in the Hunter's Dream to teleport you to Annalise' room without having worn the crown, the room won't load and you'll just load in a void and fall to your death. Annalise still greets you, however.

Byrgenwerth and the Lecture Hall were once connected. In the final game, you can still run from one to the other by going out of bounds. This is the only place in the game where 2 areas share one map file.

Bloodborne doesn't have a traditional arbitrarily rendered "skybox". It has an actual moon you can run to.

Early prototype of Bloodborne’s “Upper Cathedral Ward” map was left behind in the Dark Souls REMASTERED files. It was created when Dark Souls DLC was in development, it’s not new work by the REMASTERED team. For more information proceed to Datamining Dark Souls Remastered wiki page.

Lady Maria Model [Examples]

From datamined Lady Maria dialogue above you were supposed to interact with her. In files thanks to Gibbed and Sanadsk we can see her sitting animation without chair and sitting animation on chair as seen in the Old Hunters promotional art & trailer. ID: c4520 & Name: WomanHumter ("HUMter" in original as well). For more information visit Datamined Lady Maria NPC page.
