May you find your worth in the waking world...
— Plain Doll to The Hunter

Summary[]

The Hunter is the primary protagonist and player character of Bloodborne and its expansion, The Old Hunters. While the origins of the Hunter are determined by the player, at some point the Hunter contracted an unspecified disease and traveled to the city of Yharnam after hearing of the city's medical remedy involving blood which was said to be able to cure any disease.

In Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, the Hunter is drawn into the Hunter's Nightmare, where deceased hunters can slay beasts seemingly without limit. However, a dark secret lies hidden within the Nightmare, and it is the task of the Hunter to search it out.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • A Call Beyond: Originally intended to be a breach into the Cosmos and let the Choir commune with the Great Ones on their "Star-World", the rite failed and led to the accidental small explosion of a star when used instead. The rite allows one to breach the Cosmos, cause the destruction of a star, and use the energy from its destruction in a weaponized Arcane (Magic) projectile form.
  • Accursed Brew: Allows the Hunter to lob an explosive ball of curses at their target.
  • Augur of Ebrietas: Partially summons the Great One, Ebrietas (specifically her limbs) in order to attack the target.
  • Beast Roar: Unleashes a powerful primal scream capable of staggering their targets. Capable of deflecting the likes of "A Call Beyond" and Rom's meteors.
  • Blacksky Eye: A dimension that houses an "endless" supply of meteors. Simply rubbing the eye unleashes a meteor to be used as a projectile.
  • Bolt Paper: Allows the Hunter to apply electricity to their weapon, which becomes very useful when fighting beasts weak to such things (a prime example is the One Reborn)
  • Choir Bell: Helps regenerate and heal the Hunter's wounds and cures them of slow and quick poisons.
  • Empty Phantasm Shell: Imbues the Hunter's trick weapon with Arcane (magic) energy.
  • Executioner's Glove: Unleashes a volley of wrathful spirits of those slain by the Executioners as projectiles.
  • Fire Paper: Allows the Hunter to apply flame to their weapon, which becomes very useful when fighting beasts weak to such things (a prime example is the Blood Starved Beast)
  • Madaras Whistle: Partially summons the giant poisonous snake of the Madaras twins.
  • Messenger's Gift: Transforms the Hunter into a Messenger. Used for stealth and sneak attacks.
  • Numbing Mist: A throwable item that prevents healing and regeneration for 30 seconds.
  • Old Hunter Bone: Grants the Hunter the art of "Quickening" to increase the Hunter's speed while shrouding their form in a fog as they move.
  • Poison Knife: A throwing knife slathered in poison, which is rarely used by Hunters as poison typically has no place in the Hunt. Although not commonly used, it is a helpful tool in the Hunter arsenal.
  • Pungent Blood Cocktail: Attracts beasts of every kind, acting as a minor lure for the careful Hunter.
  • Shaman Bone Blade: The Shaman Bone Blade disorients enemies, causing them to attack one another. Hitting an enemy will make all other near by enemies start attacking it. Must be in Melee range to use the Shaman Bone Blade. An enemy that has been hit by the Shaman Bone Blade and all other nearby enemies will still be hostile towards the Hunter.
  • Tiny Tonitrus: Grants the Hunter the power to call down a row of lightning strikes by slamming the ground with this Hunter's Tool
