Walkthrough

2
Lure the Rabid Dog away from the enemies first, then grab the items.

Ignore the church interior for now and head up the stairs on the opposite side of the area. Be careful of the Rifleman and two Rabid Dogs coming down the stairs. Open the door to enter the church.
4
Enter the main hall of the church. Pull the lever to move the tomb on the first floor. Grab the Madman’s Knowledge on the corpse hanging over the ledge.
5
Backtrack and exit the other side of the church. Follow the steps down to find Vileblood Hunter Alfred. Agree to work with him to receive Fire Paper x3 and the Pray gesture.
6
Drop into the main hall of the church. Kill the Huntsman with a sickle, grab the Madman’s Knowledge, and enter the tomb.

When you drop, head up the stairwell for an Antidote x4. Continue down to light the Old Yharnam lamp. Grab the Pungent Blood Cocktail x3 behind some vases on the other side of the arched wall. Warp back to Hunter’s Dream.

With at least 10,000 Blood Echoes, head to the Bath Messenger to purchase the Hunter Chief Emblem. Return to the Cathedral Ward lamp.

12
Continue down the alley to find another Church Servant near a corpse with Poison Knife x12. Head down into the next alley.
13
As you head back down the alley, a Huntsman with a sickle will pop out from the right. Hug the left wall to find an alcove with another sickle Huntsman. A Rifleman and Large Huntsman will approach. Use the coffins for cover to take them out. Check the alcove again for the Black Church Set.
14
If you move further forward, a Rifleman will begin to fire on you. To the left before the staircase is another Poison Knife x18. Rush into the courtyard and turn left to reach the stairs, using pillars to block the Rifleman’s fire. Be careful as three Huntsmen and a Large Huntsman are approaching.
