Dian Cecht Cathedral | Bloodstained Ritual of The Night Wiki

Dian Cecht Cathedral Walkthrough

After an intense encounter with Zangetsu, we follow our protagonist Miriam towards a path leading to a demonic cathedral. What lies ahead is an unknown entity that possesses a power we must acquire in order to further explore Gebel's castle.

Further into the Castle

Start by heading towards the west side of the room where you fought Zangetsu. Here, you'll find a 1x HP Max Up at the other end of the platform, just be mindful that there are Ghosts floating around the room. If you jump on the chandeliers and head to the top left of the room, you'll find a chest that has 1x Iron and 1x Cotton, if you head down at the bottom part of the room, you'll be able to find 1x Capacity Up at the east side, inside the room next to the upgrade item, you'll find an NPC Benjamin, speak to him and provide him with a Waystone for him to return home, you'll acquire 1,000G for completing this mini-quest. The west side of the bottom area is another room where a Blood Grinder Knight is guarding a bookshelf, kill it and acquire the journal for Miriam to learn the Eleventh Hour (Skill/Ability). After you've checked the whole room, head back to the platform where you acquired the HP Max Up goblet and continue towards the next room.

You'll encounter a 2x Blood Grinder Knight and 1x Sabnock inside this room, kill it and continue on to the new location.

Dian Cecht Cathedral

You've now discovered a new location, the Dian Cecht Cathedral. As soon as you step down the stairs, a Killer Barber will rush in to attack you, kill it and continue onward (The Killer Barber may grant you with the Dagger Expertise shard upon defeat). At the west end of the room, you'll find a bookshelf under the wooden stairs with a journal for Miriam to learn the Critical Swing skill/ability, the next room beside it is a save point for you to use.

Continue your exploration and head up the second level by using the wooden stairs, be vigilant since a Buer roams around and will instantly rush in to attack once it sees Miriam. A Gieremund will also rush in you before climbing up the slope, followed by a portrait that is being controlled by a Poltergeist will start to float and attack you. Jump onto the middle platform to reach the 3rd level of the room, again, once you climb up the slope, the portrait controlled by a Poltergeist will start to move and attack Miriam. Killing one of the Poltergeist will grant you a chance to acquire its Shard, Welcome Company. Now, continue heading to the top, where another Buer awaits and will rush in for an attack once you're within its range, kill it and proceed onward. From where the Buer was roaming around, head west where you'll find a post-like object that has a white substance on top of it, strike it to acquire 1x Skill Shard.

Moving on, head east where another Poltergeist will attack you, kill it and jump up onto the next level of the room. You'll encounter 1x Cyhyraeth at the west side, while 1x Killer Barber at the east side, be mindful of fighting the Cyhyraeth since its attacks can inflict Curse on Miriam, a Sinister Rag may be dropped by the demon upon killing it. Heading west towards the room where the Cyhyraeth was blocking your way is a path that will lead you back to the Entrance of Gebel's castle. If you decide to go back to the Entrance, you can find 1x HP Max Up at the end of the corridor. But for now, we will head east into a new room where another Killer Barber will be blocking your path, kill it and proceed forward.

Now, you'll find yourself in another room with 1x Killer Barber and 1x Buer, killing the Buer grants a chance for a Cocoa and Leonine Pelt to drop upon killing it. Head up at towards the west side where you'll find a narrow space with wooden platforms for you to jump on, proceed by heading on to the top of the platforms and moving east towards another room.

From here, you'll notice a huge being that has an aura surrounding it. You'll find it to be a cat-like demon called Nyabon that has horns and what seems to be wings for its ears - it will just look at you and follow your movement if you run by it, however, once you attack it still won't attack Miriam but rather, it will start to lick its paw. Slaying the demon will allow Miriam to acquire its Shard, Riga Storaema. After acquiring the Shard, continue moving east into a new room.

In this room, be vigilant since there are 1x Demon and 1x Ordog (An Ordog may drop its shard, Acid Jet upon defeat). Be careful with fighting the Demon since it can conjure different spells that have a variety of range, so be sure to kill the Ordog first and then shift your focus towards the Demon. On the second level of the room, you'll find a chest with 1x Dance Mask on the west side and a bookshelf containing a journal on the east side. Head up onto the third level and head west towards another room.

The Good Killer Barber

As soon as you step inside the room, you'll encounter a strange Killer Barer inside a room that has a portrait of Dominique. The demon introduces himself as Todd and mentions that he is a good Killer Barber and that he wishes to cast away the curse, and the only way to do that? Is if he barbers his way through perfecting 666 different hairstyles. Todd then requests for your assistance to find more information on different hairstyles and in return, he will provide haircuts free of charge.

Despite the enticing offer, Miriam agrees to help the good Killer Barber. Here, you'll be able to interact with the chair and fully customize Miriam's appearance to your liking, from hairstyle, clothing colors, and more.

Now, if you go back to the previous room and head east this time, you'll be able to acquire 1x Capacity Up and the room next to it is a fast travel room for you to use and unlock.

Demons and Gargoyles

After you've checked the appearance customization room, head back down to the lower level of the room and proceed to the eastern side into another room. Another Demon along with a 2x Killer Barber and 1x Gargoyle will be blocking your path, so again, make sure to kill the lesser enemy first before the Demon so that you can focus on its movements and attacks. As you move onto the next room, more demons will be waiting. Another Demon along with 2x Gargoyle and 1x Bloodbringer (Killing the Gargoyle can grant you with the chance to acquire the Petra Ray shard, while the Bloodbringer can grant you with the Familiar: Bloodbringer shard).

You'll notice that there is a sword floating on top of a chest, that is the Bloodbringer that will attack Miriam once she opens the chest, inside the chest, you can acquire 1x Hair Apparent 1 that you can give to Todd later on. The east-hand side from the chest is where you can find a bookshelf that has a journal for Miriam to learn the Rapid Fire skill/ability and the room next to it is a save point.

Enter the room, replenish your HP and MP, and SAVE YOUR GAME. Now, if you head up into the room above the save point, you'll encounter a long hallway that leads to the castle's cathedral where a boss awaits.

Boss Battle, Craftwork

Once you enter the cathedral, an entity will spring out from the glass window and uses the shards to transform into a spider, this boss is Dian Cecht Catherdald Craftwork. You can click on its name to check the strategies on how to defeat it. Defeating Craftwork will grant a player with the "Show of Hands" Trophy/Achievement as well as acquiring the Manipulative Shard, Craftwork. This shard will now allow you to manipulate heavy objects. Once Craftwork is defeated, the wall at the eastern side will collapse where you can enter into another room, inside, you'll find 1x  and a chest containing 1x Unicorn Ring. - an important note to also remember is once you've defeated Andrealphus at Livre Ex Machina and have acquired the Double Jump ability, you can return here and reach the top room to find a chest with 1x Crusader's Armor in it and for Miriam to acquire the Familiar: Silver Knight shard.

Head back outside the hallway and into the room with Gargoyles, the Bloodbringer, Demon, and head to the save room to save your progress before you continue onto the next location. Once you're done, head back outside and go west into a room with a disturbing portrait with the face of a man and a moving eyeball - drop down and a Poltergeist will attack you, kill it and open the door that will lead you back to the Entrance.

Return to the Coachman

Since you've now obtained the Craftwork shard, return to the Coachman at the Garden of Silence and use the Craftwork's power to move the obstacle that is blocking the way. Now walk towards the edge of the carriage of the Coachman, interact to sit on it, and the Coachman will take you to the far end of the garden. From here, we will continue the walkthrough in the Garden of Silence (Revisited).
