Who is Eileen the Crow in Bloodborne?

Eileen the Crow is one of Bloodborne’s most memorable NPCs — a mysterious, crow-feather-cloaked hunter who follows the Hunter of Hunters creed. Appearing intermittently throughout Yharnam, she embodies the game’s themes of loneliness, duty, and descent into madness. Known simply as “Bloodborne Eileen” by many fans, she’s beloved for her somber demeanor, unique questline, and the tragic fate that often awaits her.

Eileen's Questline

In order to get the Hunter Rune, you must speak to Eileen at several points in the game, and help her against her foes. At any point you can choose to attack her - at which point she will become hostile for the rest of the playthrough. Killing her will still award you with the Crow Hunter Badge, but you will not be able to get the rune nor any emotes after that point.

These are the following places you can interact with Eileen:

• Central Yharnam Aqueduct - Upon entering the first main building, clear the debris blocking a window to wooden platforms above the main room in the building, then find another window leading back outside to a balcony. Here you can speak with Eileen for the first time. Talk to her once and she will give you the Bold Hunter's Mark. Speak to her again and she will give you the Shake-Off Cape Emote.
• Cathedral Ward - After defeating Father Gascoigne and using the Hunter Chief Emblem Key to open the main gate in the Cathedral Ward, you will be able to find Eileen just outside the front entrance to the Oedon Chapel, overlooking the small plaza that the two Cathedral Guardians patrol. Speak to her here to learn that she's tracking a hunter named Henryk. He was a former partner of Gascoigne and has since gone mad. She will tell you not to go near the Tomb of Oedon (where you fought Gascoigne) and give you the Shh! Emote. At this point you can travel down to the Tomb of Oedon and attack Henryk, whereupon Eileen will appear and fight him together. Be careful not to attack her too much by accident - or let her die. After killing Henryk, speak to her and she will give you the Approval Emote.
• Cathedral Ward - After defeating Rom the Vacuous Spider and revealing the blood moon, return to the Grand Cathedral where you fought Vicar Amelia. On the steps you will find a gravely injured Eileen who will warn you that a powerful hunter waits inside, and she will give you the Wait Emote. Now you can confront the hunter inside - but be warned he is an extremely dangerous opponent armed with a Chikage that allows him to use his own health to deal an extreme amount of damage. His firearm also does a great deal of damage, and he can use the Old Hunter Bone to teleport instead of dodging. You can either come back to face him once you have gotten stronger - or try carefully fighting him by letting him damage himself as he attacks with the Chikage, and adding in a few long range strikes when you are able. If you manage to defeat him, return to Eileen, and she will award her Crow Hunter Badge as well as the Covenant Oath Rune - The Hunter Rune.
