Hunter's Dream

Bloodborne guide · Beginning of the game

The Hunter's Dream serves as the central hub where the player awakens after dying for the first time or lighting a lantern in Central Yharnam. Here, you select your starting weapons, speak with the Plain Doll and Gehrman, and access workshops to manage equipment. Headstones throughout the dream are used to warp to discovered lanterns across the world.
