The 744-page Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide is currently listed at $45.50 on Amazon. Released last autumn by Future Press, this official guidebook is seldom offered at more than a minor discount. The 25% price reduction is already an excellent bargain, but buyers in the Midwest and potentially other areas might land an extra 25% off. With that included, you’ll only pay $34.12—almost 50% less than the book’s $60 MSRP. Click the coupon box beneath the price to receive the additional discount at checkout. If you don’t observe a coupon box to click, the offer may not be accessible in your area.
The Complete Edition boasts approximately 200 pages more than the 2017 Collector’s Edition Guide. This is due to the Complete Edition also encompassing The Old Hunters expansion, which had its own 224-page printed guide in 2015. In addition to everything necessary to achieve 100% completion in the base game and DLC, the guide also features concept art, an extensive exploration of Yharnam’s lore, an interview with director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and a reference index for in-game mythology.
You might want to use some of your savings to acquire Bloodborne’s official art book, recently priced at $32 (originally $45) on Amazon. If you already have the art book, consider the upcoming Deluxe Edition of Bloodborne’s initial graphic novel for $25.

Bloodborne’s Complete Edition Guide is equipped with a comprehensive introduction to ready new players for Yharnam’s numerous dangers. Core objectives are presented alongside illustrated maps with notes to assist you in discovering the many secrets concealed within the interconnected areas of the base game and The Old Hunters expansion.
Besides essential tasks, the guide also covers all of Bloodborne’s optional side content. Notably, it features an extensive section on the dynamic Chalice Dungeons to aid you in acquiring some of the best weapons and treasures in the game.
The guidebook can also serve as a reference manual, as it encompasses a complete bestiary with detailed analysis of the monsters seeking to keep you trapped in the nightmare. Along with the bestiary, you can consult the weapon and gear catalog to optimize the potential of your build.
The concluding chapter, Hunter’s Appendices, assists you in tracking your progress toward 100% completion by cataloging every character, shop, unique enemies, and additional elements.
The narrative is supplemented by artwork from From Software’s concept artists, making this the ultimate companion for enthusiasts of the game. Even if you don’t require a conventional “guide,” there’s ample material here regarding art and lore to justify its place on your shelf.
In addition to the walkthrough, reference catalogs, and annotated maps found in the primary chapters, Bloodborne’s Complete Edition Guide includes a “bonus chest” featuring
- Unique conversation with Hidetaka Miyazaki
- The Tale of Yharnam – background information on the game universe
- The Craft of The Old Hunters: 20 pages of design art
- Lore Index containing key reference notes on Yharnam
Note: This guidebook is formally titled Bloodborne Complete Guide 25th Anniversary Edition. The anniversary mentioned refers to Future Press. The publisher designated the reissue of Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium the same 25th Anniversary Edition label.
