All Lamps Checklist - Bloodborne

All Lamps Checklist Overview

The checklist is located below this introductory text.

This checklist contains every Lamp in Bloodborne main game. It does not include Chalice Dungeon maps.

How to find all Lamps in Bloodborne

All main game Lamps in Bloodborne are visible and very hard to miss. Compared to Elden Ring or Lies of P, Lamps in Bloodborne are sparse and very often there is only 1 Lamp per area, plus another one which appears after defeating the area boss.

A Lamp only becomes active after you interact with it. Once activated, it emits a characteristic purple glow and becomes available for fast travelling.

Missable Lamps

Hypogean Gaol: Only the Hypogean Gaol lamp is missable and will become unobtainable after defeating the Rom, the Vacuous Spider boss. The area can still be accessed later, but the lamp will not work and become deactivated, if it was lit before.

To access Hypogean Gaol, you must first defeat the Blood-Starved Beast boss, then get killed by a Snatcher enemy. One is directly in the corner behind Cathedral Ward. This will transport you to the prison of Yahar'Gul, Unseen Village. There, run up two flights of stairs and activate the Hypogean Gaol Lamp. You can then teleport back and continue on your journey.

Moonside Lake: The Moonside Lake Lamp is not missable, but has weird behaviour. After defeating Rom, the Vacuous Spider boss, you will be teleported from the boss arena. The Lamp will however still activate, being the only Lamp in the game you don't have to interact with.

About Lamps in Bloodborne

Lamps primarily serve as a checkpoint and fast travel point, similar to Bonfires from Dark Souls series, Stargazers from Lies of P or Sites of Grace from Elden Ring.

The functions of Lamps in Bloodborne are however very limited, compared to other Fromsoft games. Lamps only allow for respawning and fast travel to Hunter's Dream, Bloodborne's hub area. From Hunter's Dream, you can travel back to any previously discovered Lamp, unless the area needs to be rediscovered again.

Interacting with a Lamp does not restore HP, replenish Quicksilver Bullets or Blood Vials or respawn enemies. This is especially annoying when farming enemies for drops like Blood Vials. To respawn them, you must travel back and forth to Hunter's Dream and back, which takes you through two loading screens.

Chalice Dungeon Lamps

Every Chalice Dungeon has several Lamps, all on the main path, and they all appear with pre-set logic.

Each dungeon begins with an entrance Lamp. Each layer also contains a Lamp near its starting area and another Lamp that appears after defeating the layer's boss.

Travelling from the Chalice Lamp back to Hunter's Dream will still allow you to teleport back to that mid-dungeon lamp, provided the Chalice is not expunged, upon which you must re-do your whole Chalice Dungeon progress.

Because Chalice Dungeons, especially Root Chalice Dungeons, can appear in thousands of unique layouts, their Lamps follow a standardized structure rather than representing unique collectibles. For that reason, this checklist only tracks Lamps found in the main game.

FAQ

How many Lamps are in Bloodborne?

This checklist tracks 34 main-game Lamps. It does not include Chalice Dungeon lamps, because those follow a standardized layout rather than unique collectible positions.

Are any Bloodborne Lamps missable?

Yes. Hypogean Gaol is the missable lamp. After defeating Rom, the Vacuous Spider, it becomes unobtainable. The area can still be reached later, but the lamp will not work and becomes deactivated if it was lit before.

How do I reach the Hypogean Gaol Lamp?

Defeat Blood-Starved Beast, then get killed by a Snatcher. One Snatcher is directly in the corner behind Cathedral Ward. You are transported to Yahar'Gul, Unseen Village. Run up two flights of stairs and activate Hypogean Gaol before fighting Rom.

Do Lamps restore HP or respawn enemies?

No. Unlike Bonfires, Stargazers, or Sites of Grace, Bloodborne Lamps do not restore HP, replenish Quicksilver Bullets or Blood Vials, or respawn enemies. They mainly act as checkpoints and fast travel points via Hunter's Dream.

Why does Moonside Lake activate without interacting?

After defeating Rom, the Vacuous Spider, you are teleported out of the boss arena. Moonside Lake still activates automatically. It is the only Lamp in the game you do not have to interact with.

Why are Chalice Dungeon Lamps not listed?

Every Chalice Dungeon has entrance, layer-start, and post-boss lamps with pre-set logic. Root Chalices can generate thousands of layouts, so those lamps are not unique collectibles. This checklist only tracks main-game Lamps.
