Hunter's Dream

Your hub between hunts: pick a starting kit, and come back here to level up, buy, and upgrade.

The Hunter's Nightmare

The Old Hunters begins here, at about level 70 to 80. Clear the Nightmare's streets and blood river, then face Ludwig.

This guide enters the DLC after the Upper Cathedral Ward and before the Nightmare of Mensis. Sources suggest level 65 or more at the very least, and 75 to 85 for a comfortable first visit.

Chalice Dungeons: The Path to Queen Yharnam

The fixed Pthumerian chalices lead down to Queen Yharnam, one of the platinum's gold trophies. Chalice progress is not tied to a cycle, so do these whenever you like.

Rituals are performed at the altar in the Hunter's Dream, and each new dungeon gets its own headstone. Chalice enemies do not get stronger in NG+, and your progress carries over between cycles.

Collect these before the deep rituals

The last ritual on this path needs the Living String from the Brain of Mensis (section 20) and Red Jelly (two on the Lecture Building's first floor).

Chalice Dungeons: Hintertomb, Lower Loran and Isz

The remaining fixed chalices. Each one opens a root chalice for section 28 and 29.

Root Chalices: Chalice-only Caryll Runes

Twenty-seven rune tiers exist only in root chalice dungeons. Each entry names the root chalice and community glyphs that have held it.
About glyphs

Glyphs are community-posted and expire when unused; test before relying on one. In the glyph notes, F, R and C mean the Fetid, Rotted and Cursed rites, s/S means Sinister, and L1 to L4 are the layers. To join one, you may first need to have made a dungeon of the same root type yourself (sources disagree on the exact rule).
