Hunter's Nightmare
The Hunter's Nightmare is the opening area of the The Old Hunters expansion, reached after being grabbed by the Amygdala outside Oedon Chapel while carrying the Eye of a Blood-drunk Hunter. You must navigate distorted, blood-drenched streets and twisted ruins filled with maddened hunters and beastly abominations to reach the grand cathedral. The main path culminates in unlocking shortcuts back to the first lamp and confronting the fallen holy blade, Ludwig the Accursed.

Shops and people
- Simon the Harrowed: Exhausting his dialogue throughout his locations progresses his questline and grants weapon and lore rewards
Tips

- Equip armor with high Blunt and Arcane defense for the Ludwig encounter to survive his heavy charge attacks and arcane energy waves.
