Basic Information

As Bloodborne runs on a modified version of the engine used in Dark Souls, it is partially compatible with some Dark Souls modification and viewing software. In this article, the Bloodborne map files are being viewed using the program Dark Souls Map Studio by Katalash, available on Github. This reveals a number of assets which are present in the map files, but not loaded while the game is running. Everything collected and documented by Sophie Pilbeam (JSF).

THE HUNTER'S DREAM / ABANDONED OLD WORKSHOP

► The ritual altars display all the possible chalices overlapping each other. Moving them apart reveals two unseen chalices; a dish with a lid, and a Cleric Beast's head.		► The top of the fireplace in the Hunter's Dream actually has the missing photograph present, but located outside of the building where it cannot be seen. No photographs are present in the Abandoned Old Workshop.

No photographs are present in the Abandoned Old Workshop.	► An alternate closed version of the cabinet door is held under the map in the Hunter's Dream, which would have allowed for multiple states. In the finished game it is unused and the cabinet is always open. No alternate door exists in the Abandoned Old Workshop.		► Three unused corpses exist in the Hunter's Dream. One corpse, in the area where Gehrman sleeps, is connected to the Messengers that allow players to redeem the limited edition DLC code that unlocks the unique Messenger hats. There is also a further attached event that spawns the Eye of a Blood-Drunk Hunter if The Old Hunters DLC is installed. Further information is available on Lance McDonald's Twitter.

An unused corpse is also present near the fence.	► A small part of Cathedral Ward is present far above the Hunter's Dream. This is what is used in the "Yharnam Sunrise" ending.

HEMWICK

► The road with a tunnel, visible but inaccessible in the retail version. Viewing it from the side reveals that neither tunnel leads anywhere.		► An unused Mad One spawn point in the stables, and an additional one near the shortcut lift.

The glitch is therefore likely the result of the sound effect's position mistakenly being given to the wrong objects.	► An unused treasure chest exists in the church where the crucified Blood-Starved Beast is.

CATHEDRAL WARD

► Two unused lamp placements for Oedon Chapel. Arianna's child is also present in the chapel itself.		► The stationary guns present in the Hunter's Nightmare appear in Cathedral Ward, even without The Old Hunters installed. The pressure plates that make them fire are also visible.

UPPER CATHEDRAL WARD

► An unused lamp is placed right at the beginning.	► The door leading to the building has an improvised barricade made from coffins.

► Unused Garden of Eyes locations.	► An unused small Celestial Emissary occupies the same location as the Brainsucker does now.	► Willem and Micolash both exist in the Byrgenwerth map, as though ready for the flashback scene shown in Cathedral Ward. However, the Byrgenwerth map is not used for the flashback, which instead uses a small recreation of the Byrgenwerth interior (shown earlier on this page). Their purpose here is unknown.

► A switch exists near the chest with Empty Phantasm Shell in it. This switch used to open the doors to the Lunarium.	► The Lecture Hall originally occupied the same space as Moonside Lake does now, and the original enemy layout remains there. This is a different enemy layout to the one used in the current Lecture Hall, and features far fewer Slime Scholars, an additional Church Giant and a Snake Parasite. Two treasure chests which do not align to the current layout are also present.

► Rom and the Children of Rom are present in Moonside Lake, showing their spawn positions (and Rom's teleportation targets) are preset. Queen Yharnam is also present.	► Unused pieces of geometry are present.

► The Lecture Hall has no exterior as it is only ever seen from inside. The sequences in which the player character walks from the building into the Nightmare take place in small dark corridors that use the same wooden wall textures as the rest of the hall, lit so that they are invisible.
