Spoilers, obviously
It’s been quite a week since I first obtainedBloodborne. I’m currently on my fourth playthrough and I’m finding out that I missed quite a bit on my first run. Specifically, there’s multiple endings, one of which involves a cryptic process to even see the actual final boss. It took me over 100 hours to piece it together.
I strongly suggest playing the game the way you want to the first time through, and only resort to this guide if you really are stuck and want to see the extra ending. If you’re so inclined, you’ll also find a breakdown of all three known endings below with spoilers.

Spoilers below for the video and the text:
You’ll need three umbilical cord items to trigger the ending. To my knowledge, there are four in the game.
Contrary to what I’ve seen online in the past few days, you do not need the Yharnam Stone from the Chalice Dungeons to trigger the true ending. You only need to consume three cords before you fight the boss in Hunter’s Dream, after defeating the Wet Nurse. ensure you refuse the final choice.
Here’s how to obtain the other two endings:
All you have to do to initiate the other two endings is either accept the final choice (a cutscene plays) for the first ending, or deny it without consuming the umbilical cords and defeat the boss for the second.
Note that with all three endings the game willautomaticallystart a New Game+ — you have been warned.
