All Hunter Tools Checklist

All Hunter Tools Checklist Overview

The checklist is located below this introductory text.

This checklist contains every Hunter Tool obtainable in Bloodborne. Hunter Tools are special items that consume Quicksilver Bullets to unleash powerful offensive, defensive, and utility abilities.

How to collect all Hunter Tools in Bloodborne

Hunter Tools are hidden throughout the world and are primarily obtained by exploring optional areas.

Unlike most weapons and armor, Hunter Tools cannot be purchased from the Bath Messengers and must instead be found individually.

Missable Hunter Tools

Several Hunter Tools depend on NPC questlines and can be missed if those questlines are failed or abandoned. If you're aiming for a complete collection, thoroughly explore every area and use our All Questlines Checklists throughout your playthrough.

About Hunter Tools in Bloodborne

Hunter Tools are Bloodborne's equivalent of spells or Ashes of War in other From Software games. Instead of using a mana bar, every Hunter Tool consumes Quicksilver Bullets when activated.

Unlike weapons, Hunter Tools are equipped as quick items and do not occupy a weapon slot.

Unlike consumable items, Hunter Tools have unlimited uses as long as you have enough Quicksilver Bullets, allowing them to be used throughout the game without needing to find replacements.

Most scale with Arcane, making them essential for Arcane-focused builds, although several provide useful utility regardless of your character's stats.

Best Hunter Tool in Bloodborne

While opinions vary, we consider Old Hunter Bone to be the best Hunter Tool in Bloodborne. It boosts dashing / quickstep length and speed, making it very useful in gank-style boss fights like Shadows of Yharnam, or when dealing with Winter Lantern enemies.
