Bloodborne: How To Get Blade Of Mercy Early

Blade of Mercy

The Blade Of Mercy is a weapon in Bloodborne that can be either a normal sword, or twin blades. The BoM has somewhat small starting damage with a base 60 physical and 30 arcane. It is a pure skill weapon, so leveling skill will be a great idea for this weapon. At +0 it has a C ranking in Skill, then at +1 to +4 it has a B ranking, +5 to +9 it has an A ranking and at 10+ it has an S ranking. The BoM is a fast weapon, and great for fast combos. Infact, it's main combo happens to be an R1 spam. With the BoM you can get an 8 hit combo just with R1. While in transformed mode its L2 does a sweep attack then a back step. The best attacks for this weapon are attacks followed up by running or dashing, as it does 50% more damage when done so.

Though the thing is, to get this weapon you normally have to go through Eileen the Crow's quest line then Defeat Rom, a later game boss. After defeating Rom you go to the Grand Cathedral and if you did her quest you fight a hunter npc and after that she'll give you the Crow Hunter Badge which allows you to buy the BoM. Or if you didn't do her quest she'll be there hostile instead, and if you kill her you'll still get it.

There is  another way though. She actually appears early game, from the Central Yharnam bonfire if you have the shortcut unlocked, going straight through the house door and going past the dogs there's that room that has a Large Huntsman coming up the stairs? Instead of fighting him go to the right, there's pots and such hiding a doorway onto some rafters. Onto the rafters there's another doorway leading to a balcony where you can find Eileen. Talk to her first, she gives you Bold Hunter Marks and a gesture. After talking to her, fight her. Beware this early game she'll destroy you normally but here's a tip. Eileen's attacks are very dash-heavy so if you bring her onto the rafters, be careful and hit her near the rafters, hopefully with a long ranged weapon and if you get luckily. She'll dodge off and die.

Go back to the hunters dream then come back and if you go to the balcony where you first found her the crow badge will be there. Now the hard part is that the BoM costs 40000 bloodechos, I'll leave it up to you how you get then but I suggest, going through Central Yharnam, Cathedral Ward, and Old Yharnam and just fighting youever you can and selling anything you can, as well as buying Gascgonie's set and the Ashen Set for extra blood echos.

And there you are, a way to get the Blade of Mercy before Bloodstarved Beast or Vicor Amelia. I was able to do it all pretty quick, took me about an hour to get all the bloodechos, but it was worth it.
