Basic Information

  • Key Items are all very important either to progressing through the game or to reaching some of Bloodborne's more secret areas and rewards. Most of these items cannot be carried over to New Game +. While badges are proof of your achievements and can be shown to the bath messengers in the Hunter's Dream to expand the shop in-ventory. You'll sometimes find these valuable relics on the bodies of the fallen, but you may also receive them from other hunters. Obtaining certain badges will add extremely useful and important items to the shop's lineup, so it's worth going out of your way to find them.
