How to get to the Forsaken Castle Cainhurst in Bloodborne? | FAQ Bloodborne Guide
Last update: 06 March 2018
Castle Cainhurst is a very climatic and well hidden location. It is not mandatory but every hunter should visit it. To reach the castle two things are needed:
- defeating a boss, Witch of Hemwick in Hemwick Charnel
- having the Cainhurst Summons found in Iosefka's Clinic
To be able to visit Iosefka's Clinic again you must defeat Vicar Amelia so in fact you can get to the Castle Cainhurst only after that.
First you must get the Cainhurst Summons. After the battle with Vicar Amelia go to the Forbidden Woods. Inside, after some exploration you will reach the village (a small wall and gate, trap in front of it). Then go slightly up, to the left. Then, after some cages with dogs you will find a turn that leads to the cave. In front of the entrance (at the bottom), on the other side you will find exit and a ladder. It leads to the Central Yharnam and then to the Iosefka's Clinic.
When you're inside (after entering via window), turn right. You will go to the place where the game begun. There you will find a single enemy and Cainhurst Summoning lying on the bed, addressed specifically to you.
Next step is to move to Hemwick Charnel. It can be found on the left side of Grand Cathedral in Cathedral Ward, after you pass through the forest. Explore the location and then kill the boss, Witch of Hemwick.
After you met all requirements return a bit back from the place where you fought the boss. You will find yourself on a large plane where two-three enemies with cleavers are. After defeating them walk to the obelisk in the middle. You will activate a cutscene during which a carriage will arrive. Enter it and you will be transported to the Forsaken Castle Cainhurst.
