The early-game Cathedral Ward is home to the Central Yharnam, which is the hub of the game’s action. The Mid-game Ward features Hemwick Charnel Lane, which is a long and winding path that leads from the Central Yharnam to various other areas in the game. The late-game Ward features the abandoned Charnel Lane, which is a dark and dangerous place where players are often killed by enemies or traps.
The farms below are all great for different reasons. However, the best farm for you depends on your specific needs and preferences. So read on to find out which one is the best for you!
Central Yharnam Farming (Early-game)
Farming Riflemen enemies with Quicksilver Bullets is easy and profitable.
Each rifleman is guaranteed to drop at least three bullets, so we’ll be focusing on taking out as many enemies as possible on each farm. ..
The best place to find Riflemen in the early game is the hidden warehouse in Central Yharnam. ..
The Great Bridge Lamp is a way to reach the Yharnam warehouse.
The Great Bridge Lamp is a landmark in the town of Westfall. It is a large, metal lamp that hangs from the bridge over the river. It is a popular spot for tourists to take photos of the bridge and the lamp.
This path will drop you down from the bridge and onto a staircase. From here, head down the stairs and across a small courtyard before walking down another flight of stairs.
Walk around the corner and take out the dog that will jump out at you. Head down the final set of stairs and cross the bridge to find the warehouse entrance. ..
If you haven’t defeated the Cleric Beast yet, the best starting point for this farm is the Central Yharnam Lamp.
To get to the left shortcut gate, you’ll need to unlock it first. If you don’t have it unlocked yet, check out our Blood Vial Farming Guide for a step-by-step rundown on unlocking it. ..
The entrance to the darkened house is through the left gate. Head down two flights of steps and then turn left to reach the entrance.
Walk through this door and out the opposite side to reach a tunnel that leads to a small courtyard. Head straight across this courtyard and down the steps to reach an area full of dog cages. Each cage has a different type of dog inside, including a German Shephard, a Boxer, and a Bulldog. ..
To defeat the dogs and reach the warehouse entrance, head across the bridge. ..
You will walk down a long, dark hallway.
Enter the warehouse and follow the main path until you reach a large room with many holes in the floor. Look down and see a large, dark creature waiting for you. ..
There are a few dangerous enemies in this area, but as long as you’re aggressive, you can stunlock them to death before they get a chance to hit you.
The Rifleman is located in the back corner of the room, on the walkway that leads to the door to the outside.
When the first Rifleman falls, exit the door behind him to your left. There are two Riflemen on either side of the canal. ..
Kill the Riflemen and collect their bullets to complete the farm. ..
Either run back to the Lamp and respawn the enemies for another round of farming, or warp back to the Hunter’s Dream.
This route will get you 9 Bullets per farm, a relatively low yield. However, for this point in the game, it’s by far the best spot to pick up more Bullets.
Cathedral Ward Farming (Mid-game)
The more efficient farming spot in Cathedral Ward will open up once you’ve defeated the Blood-Starved Beast.
If you’re looking for the Cathedral Ward Lamp, start by walking down the small set of stairs and make an immediate right turn into the door here. This door won’t be open until you’ve beaten the Blood-Starved Beast. ..
The Healing Church Workshop is a new sub-area of the game that lets you explore and learn about the church’s healing abilities. ..
Your first farming target is the Rifleman in the first room after the elevator ride.
When fighting these enemies, be extremely careful and never stop moving. If you take massive damage from their gatling gun fire, you may not be able to survive.
After gathering the 4 Quicksilver Bullets from the Wheelchair Rifleman, continue quickly out of the room and cross the bridge to avoid the fire of Riflemen above you.
Head into the tower ahead and prepare for a hectic fight against 4 Villagers and 1 Rifleman. ..
After the fight, head to the back of the room and look for a second wheelchair rifleman.
The Riflemen that shot at you as you crossed the bridge are backed up by a Brick Troll.
Don’t be fooled by the Troll - be quick to deal with the Riflemen for another 7 Quicksilver Bullets.
To reach the highest level of the Workshop, continue along the balcony. There is a ladder which leads up to the top. ..
The final section of the farm is a room with a Villager and two Flamethrower-wielding Wheelchair enemies.
Despite their lack of rifles, each of these wheelchair-bound enemies will still drop 4 Bullets each, bringing our total to a huge 26 Bullets per run.
The closest Lamp you can use to reset this farm is the Cathedral Ward lamp, so backtrack or warp back to the chapel to start another round of the farm.
Hemwick Charnel Lane Farming (Mid and late-game)
The Riflemen gather at the Hemwick Charnel Lane Lamp to discuss their upcoming mission.
Walk uphill through the gate that leads to the woods and turn around to see the Hemwick Charnel Lane Lamp.
The first Rifleman will be right up ahead, so deal with him before reaching the large cemetery area.
This is the area where you’ll find the remaining nine riflemen on this route. ..
Next, head into the tombstones to your right and take out the Soldier that tries to shoot at you.
After defeating him, continue through the tombstones to find two more Riflemen hidden amongst the graves.
Their deaths will likely draw the attention of the Rifleman on the main path, so be sure to return to the path and take care of him as soon as possible.
With these four gunmen taken out, quickly run to the fire at the end of the area and deal with the four gunmen crowding around it for an easy 12 Bullets.
Head back towards the Hemwick Charnel Lane Lamp and take a quick detour to the tombstones on your left to pick off the final Rifleman. Once you’ve collected him, head back to the Lamp. ..
If you have defeated Rom, the Vacuous Spider, 3 additional Stalker enemies will appear – making this farm much more dangerous.
This is still the most efficient Bullet farming spot if you can handle the danger. So be sure to check out the farm if you think you can handle it (you probably can!)
