So Queen Yharnam mourns the loss of her child and her race, both of which were taken from her, in some form, by the Great Ones. Mergo’s existence also created a One Third Umbilical Cord, which allows the player to have audience with the Moon Presence Great One and eventually become a Great One themselves. However, it is assumed that Mergo died or was taken from Yharnam shortly after birth and became a symbol of worship for the School of Mensis. Though this character is never confronted or even mentioned during the course of the story, it is clear she has connections to the Great Ones and the city of Yharnam, which was named after her.īloodborne’s lore implies that Mergo is an infant Great One who was born to Queen Yharnam and Oedon, the formless Great One. Players would recognize Queen Yharnam from a couple of scenes in the main game in which the queen is seen worshipping the Blood Moon, and eventually found mourning outside the Mergo’s Wet Nurse boss fight. One of the few remaining Pthumerians is Yharnam, who acted as the queen of her race but eventually met her downfall because of her association with the Great Ones. Even though it is never directly stated whether the use of blood healing causes or cures the beastly scourge, the two are connected, and the state of the former civilizations found within the Chalice Dungeons shows that any association with the Great Ones will likely lead to the downfall of society. Alfred’s description states that those living above ground found a secret hidden in the tombs below Yharnam that effectively created the sacred blood healing, but implies the Chalice Dungeons also harbor the secrets of the beastly scourge.īecause there are only a few remaining Pthumerians, all of whom look to be decrepit versions of their former selves, it is suggested the discovery of the Eldritch Truth wiped out this race. The in-game lore behind the dungeons is mostly provided by Alfred, a hunter for the Healing Church who describes the dungeons as a tomb of the gods, originally discovered by Byrgenwerth and housing a holy medium that led to the founding of the Healing Church. However, the main lore behind the Chalice Dungeons lies in the base dungeons. All of these have different variations such as Root Dungeons, and additional rites that create more challenges for players. There are four different base Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne: Pthumeru Chalice Dungeons, Hintertomb Chalice Dungeons, Loran Chalice Dungeons, and Isz Chalice Dungeons. These items include chalices and sacrificial materials that are found in the main game for a time, but eventually can only be discovered by going further into each dungeon. They can be visited from the Hunter’s Dream, but require players to acquire the necessary materials first. Put simply, the Chalice Dungeons are a set of optional multi-tiered dungeons.
