Spoiler-free, other than location information
[Update: I’ve located the hidden boss, with instructions below.]
Bloodborne is officially out, and I’ve already seen a lot of discussions brewing about the game. Some sentiments are positive, some are negative, but a great deal of people are just confused.
Although I have a quick tips guide to help you start out, a lot of readers and peers have been asking me about some of the game’s harder-to-find optional bosses. I spent the day recording the processes involved in finding them, and you can see the results for most of them below.
Keep in mind there are obvious spoilers involved if you want to find the locations yourself. However, I did make a point to skip any cutscenes and all of the videos do not actually show the bosses themselves.
The only boss that isn’t covered here is the alleged secret final encounter, which I believe no one has found yet.
Spoilers ahead for Cleric Beast’s location:
You can’t miss this one but since it’s optional, I’ll provide directions anyway. Head out of the starting area and into the main road with the villagers. At the end of the line you’ll find a bonfire and a bunch of enemies congregating in an open area.
Hug the left wall, loop around to the right and head up the stairs near the wolves. Go straight down that path on the bridge and you’ll find your first optional boss. You can’t miss it, and will probably stumble across him in the first 15 minutes.
Spoilers ahead for Darkbeast Paarl’s location:
This boss will either be found late-game when you stumble upon the area, or mid-game by randomly encountering an enemy in the Cathedral region. Said enemy will have a sack over their shoulder — when you see one of them, get killed by it to revive in a new area and locate the Darkbeast on a straight-forward one-way path.
