Bloodborne Kelch Dungeon - Chalice Guide (2024)

FAQs

What is the proper way to do the Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne? ›

Select CHALICE RITUAL at a Ritual Altar in the Hunter's Dream, and then select a Holy Chalice and an offering in order to conduct the ritual and unseal a Chalice Dungeon. When using a root chalice, the structure of the unsealed Chalice Dungeon will change each time the ritual is conducted.

The Headed form can grab the player when he/she's underneath him. Bloodletting Beast is weak to Fire & Serrated.

If you were hoping to run dungeons, but are worried they will now be far to hard, worry not! Chalice Dungeons have their own difficulty that is independent of the main game. No matter what playthrough you are on, the Chalice Dungeons difficulty will remain the same.

Your Chalice Dungeon progress is entirely separate from your NG Cycle. All the Chalices on their Altars will remain. You will keep all Chalice Materials as well as all the Chalices in your Inventory, even if you enter NG+. Since it's separate, that means the Difficulty of the CDs are not dependant on your NG Cycle.

The Chalice Dungeons difficulty remains the same regardless which play-through you are on. it's advisable to take the game giving you the first chalice as an indication that you are ready to attempt it.

Yeah, Chalice Dungeons can be brutal solo. The other day I died in my very first turn, and there was 100% nothing I could do about it. To be perfectly honest, I think that the difficulty is overly reliant on RNG. There's just way too much going against the hunter to be going in with a fresh deck.

No, Chalice dungeons are completely optional. However, they will reward you with lots of Blood Echoes you can use to level up, blood gems to improve your weapons and insight for killing bosses.

There is one dungeon deep in the Pthumerian labyrinth that allows you to get 83,000 Blood Echoes every 20 seconds. To get to this promised land, all you need to do is beat the Blood-Starved Beast and bring the Pthumerian Chalice back to the Hunter's Dream.

One of the core dungeons has 4 layers (depth 3 pthumeru) and you can sometimes rarely create a root with 4 layers. All other dungeons have 3.

They have their own feel, enemies and traps. But the main structure is always the same. Every chalice has a set of layers (dungeon levels) — there are usually three layers per chalice. Each dungeon has a main section and a boos room.

Is Blood-Starved Beast harder than Amelia? ›

Toughest Main Bloodborne Boss: Vicar Amelia

While Father Gascoigne can be parried and the Blood-Starved Beast can be distracted with Pungent Blood co*cktails, Vicar Amelia's fight is all about timing and aggression.

More than likely, newer players would categorize this as the hardest boss. She isn't humanoid like Gascoigne and she isn't as slow as the Cleric Beast. This is the boss that is most likely to make players quit Bloodborne as she is hard to best if you're using the wrong strategy.

However long these Chalice Dungeons take is completely up to the Hunter, as there is enough content for around 30 hours of exploration, and players could also spend no time at all in the Chalice Dungeons, preferring to stick to the main game.
