NEW GAMES Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide (Hardcover)
$42 (was $60) with coupon
Bloodborne’s Complete Edition Guide has a detailed primer to prepare newcomers for Yharnam’s many threats. Mainline objectives are outlined and accompanied by illustrated maps with annotations to help you uncover the many secrets hidden across the interconnected regions in the base game and The Old Hunters expansion.
In addition to mandatory objectives, the guide tackles all of Bloodborne’s optional side content. Most notably, it has a thorough section on the ever-changing Chalice Dungeons to help you unlock some of the game’s best weapons and loot.
You can also use the guidebook as a reference manual, as it contains a full bestiary with in-depth analysis on the monsters who want to keep you in the nightmare. Along with the bestiary, you can reference the weapon and gear catalog to maximize your build’s potential.
The book’s final chapter, Hunter’s Appendices, helps you track your progress toward 100% by cataloging every character, shop, special enemies, and more.
The text is accompanied by work of From Software’s concept artists, making this the ultimate companion for fans of the game. Even if you don’t need a traditional “guide,” there’s enough here in terms of art and lore to make it a worthy addition to your shelf.
Beyond the walkthrough, reference catalogs, and annotated maps found in the main chapters, Bloodborne’s Complete Edition Guide comes with a “bonus chest” featuring the following:
- Exclusive interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki
- The Story of Yharnam – background info on the game world
- The Art of The Old Hunters: 20 pages of concept art
- Lore Index with important reference notes on Yharnam
Note: This guidebook is technically called Bloodborne Complete Guide 25th Anniversary Edition. The anniversary it’s referring to is for Future Press. The publisher gave the reissue of Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium the same 25th Anniversary Edition moniker.
