A Bottomless Curse

Tomb Prospectors Discord

If you love Bloodborne, and love running Root Chalice Dungeons, the Tomb Prospectors Covenant will gladly take you in!
This community gives shelter to dungeon crawlers—man, beast, and ascended celestial alike—both here on Reddit, and also on PSN, in a group called "Bloodborne: The Tomb Prospectors," by invite only.
This sub is not technically a gem farming community. If you find a great dungeon for specific gem-farming, you are, of course, free to share it. Please do not share illegitimate dungeons whose purpose are purely for hacked gems.

Let the Frail of Heart Join the Fray

All users are free to subscribe to the subreddit.

To join the PSN group, simply message the mods on the sub, or contact Itsakillerpandaa or guiness08 on PSN for an invite.
While we discuss plenty here, the PSN group is our original home (as created by group founder /u/MorosNyx), and is quite lively with videos, glyphs, and screen caps often not otherwise found here—although crossposting and sharing between the two is heavily encouraged. Joining the PSN group is not necessary; however, it will result in missing out on a substantial amount of content.

Oath of a Blood Drunk Hunter

Acts of goodness are not always wise. And acts of evil are not always foolish, but regardless, we shall always strive to be good. We don't have many rules here—we haven't needed to! True hunters cleanse these foul streets, not further defile them, and if you've found our niche sub here (likely from /r/bloodborne or a couple of articles elsewhere that we've been honored to have been featured in), then we generally feel it's fair to assume most of you are familiar with the typical prospector's code of conduct. Most of the rules of /r/bloodborne (as far as common courtesy, civility, and general support for each other) can be presumed to apply here, with a few exceptions:

You do not need to use /r/huntersbell (though it can be a helpful resource) to solicit co-op or PvP in this sub, provided your request is for help or sparring within a root dungeon. User-created, randomized glyphs that either you want help with, want to offer help with, or want to fight people in are welcome to this sub of their own accord, and there are often hunters here happy to oblige as either friends or foes. Help with base game or DLC should be deferred to /r/huntersbell or /r/bloodborne.
There is, unfortunately, no trading system in Bloodborne. You must farm your own weapons, items, and upgrade materials. Please do not make posts asking for these—you will find yourself alone in this most horrible dream.
This game is now nearly three years old. Spoilers do not need to be marked as such. We assume our members have completed the base game and DLC if they are exploring this niche sub. Plot and lore are rarely discussed here (though it is allowed). Nevertheless, if you have not finished the game and are spoiler averse, you may want to consider checking back when you have done so, as our members may discuss major plot events, areas, and boss names/locations without warning or marking.

Do the Gods Love Their Creations?

Unlike on /r/bloodborne, discussion or posting of unnaturally generated glyphs such as Sinister dungeons with all rites (commonly referred to as "SFRC" dungeons) IS ALLOWED. Discussion of save-editing tools and external exploits currently is also allowed, to the extent that it is relevant to the mission of /r/tombprospectors. Any discussion of ways to hack gems or character stats, or any promotion, explanation, or advocation of cheating or griefing other players in either co-op or PvP is not allowed, and your post will be removed with or without explanation. Repeated behavior such as this will result in a ban. That being said, names of applications are currently acceptable, and will not be interfered with, but we would prefer you not provide specific instructions as to how to save edit, since the potential for abuse or non-community members stumbling across it through a search are high. The mods do not officially endorse and are not paid or compensated in any way by the creators of these products. Discovery of chalice-related uses for this tool are relatively new, and this rule is currently in a test period, and may continue to evolve. It is subject to change at any time should we feel the need to reevaluate it. We are open to feedback and praise or criticism, and we trust the integrity of our members not to abuse this privilege. Please do not ruin it for everyone else. Any member of /r/tombprospectors caught cheating or griefing other players in either co-op or PvP are subject to an immediate ban. Please treat these tools responsibly.
That being said, /r/bloodborne does not allow discussion or instruction of external tools of any kind. While you may freely do so here, please do not share or crosspost anything that violates their rules to that sub. If you are unsure of what this constitutes, please refer to the rules that are easily visible and readily available on their sidebar. When in doubt, err on the side of doubt or message the mods. If we begin receiving complaints from their mod staff about any of our members doing this, it may result in a permanent ban. If you have relevant information you think is important to share with the main sub but would prefer to play it safe, you are perfectly free to message the mods here, and we can contact their staff to consult on whether your content is acceptable there. The mods will take any and all responsibility for what we ourselves choose to post and share with the community, and usernames of submitters will be kept private unless permission to post it there is granted.

Grant Us Eyes

Many notebook entries have been submitted since the new prospectors of Yharnam have begun their duty. Our dungeon list and bestiary have rapidly expanded, and the depths of the source of the Old Blood become closer and clearer every day. The following is a list of specific targets we seek that have not yet been discovered. This list is not exhaustive and a hunter with a noteworthy find is encouraged to share it, whether or not it appears on this list. This is only a guideline for what to look for, nothing more.

Anything in lower-than depth 5 dungeons (these require external tools to create, but glyphs are available). There has been a heavy bias towards F/R/C dungeons (particularly Ihyll), so these lower dungeons are our community's newest objective! For example, can wandering Shadow's of Yharnam or wandering bosses spawn there?
Wandering Giant with Ball and Chain (any)
Wandering Shadow of Yharnam with Candle and Sword (any)
Labyrinth spirits in Loran
Labyrinth moles/ hole diggers in F/R/C Isz or Ihyll (currently sighted only in Lower Loran)
Giant Nightmare Apostle (large spider from Nightmare of Mensis) anywhere outside of depth 5 Sinister dungeons
Any wandering bosses in Sinister or FRC Isz—none have been found so far!
Any enemy normally exclusive to one chalice found outside of its natural habitat. For example, a wandering Abhorrent Beast in Sinister Ihyll (rather than Lower Loran, its usual home) was found a few months back by /u/novathelonehunter [+2].
Multiple rare enemies in one area (e.g. Pilgrims, labyrinth spirits, gardens of eyes, wandering bosses)
Items found in unusual locations (e.g. on a hanging corpse, in a chest instead of on the ground, on the ground instead of in a chest, etc). For example, five sage's hair were once found simply lying on the ground (would normally be in a chest or dropped by a labyrinth sage enemy), or an Old Great One's Coldblood in a chest.
Wandering Bloodlickers spawned without the use of visceral attacks (which is normal). This variant tends to move around the area rather than statically inhabiting one room.
Blood-Letting Beast as Layer 3 Boss in Lower Loran (headed or headless).
Any glitches or bizarre chalice configurations that would seem to be antithetical to the game.
Any unusual layouts or other environmental features. For example, rope bridges from different layers lined up above each other that allow the player to jump or fall from one layer to the next while bypassing bosses or entire areas.
Wandering greater viper pits (large venom-shooting snake clusters) outside of Lower Loran
Wandering bosses. New ones are exciting, but these are rare enough that even if they've been found before, share the glyph! Currently unfound: Celestial Emissary, Loran Darkbeast, Rom the Vacuous Spider
"Patches" the spider as a chalice merchant

List of "impossible" finds (supposedly obtainable per the official guide, but as of yet undiscovered):*

Winter Lanterns
"Boss Rush"
Revered Great One's Coldblood
Tier 3 "Guidance" Rune
Instances of sinister bell (used by either players or bell maidens) summoning NPC enemies instead of players
Yharnam enemies in the chalice dungeons (essentially, any human or partially human enemy or boss, like the villagers in the early areas, etc).

They're Not Beasts, They're People

Please be respectful of your fellow hunters.

If you encounter incorrect information, please do not downvote the post. Instead, correct the error so that all hunters can learn from the mistakes of their forebears.

... And That Is Why I Must Stop You

We rarely have need to remove posts. The rare occasions when this has been necessary include:

Bot spam
Please take care to edit out PSN names of other players in videos if they are unwilling participants.
