Chalices are a type of item in Bloodborne.
Description[]
In-Game Description
- Offer items to a Holy Chalice and conduct a ritual to unseal a Chalice Dungeon. If you remove the chalice from an altar you have used, you may conduct further rituals at the same altar to unseal new Chalice Dungeons.
General Information[]
Also known as a "Holy Chalice", chalices are used at a Ritual Altar, in the Hunter's Dream, to create Chalice Dungeons.
They can be removed while keeping the chalice, but the dungeon is lost upon chalice removal, effectively resetting it, meaning that players will have to redo the offerings and progress of said chalice dungeon should they wish to.
Chalice Information[]
 |
Depth of the labyrinth unlocked by the chalice ritual. The higher the number, the deeper the dungeon. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
An area in the labyrinth unlocked by the chalice ritual. Features of each area will differ. | ||
Note: The description of Depth is misleading. Depth relates to the difficulty of the dungeon, not the number of Layers.
Chalice Types[]
Note that the Short Ritual Root Chalice, used to search for online Chalice Dungeons, is considered a key item and can only be used at the Makeshift Altar.

Trivia[]
- Chalices in Bloodborne are capable of producing what essentially equates to "physical memories" of the remnants of several lost civilizations that inhabited the depths of what is now known as the city of Yharnam.
- All Chalices always require blood to be created. It is their one common material. Adding that to the description of all Ritual Bloods, which specifically mentions of the concept of rebirth, it seems to imply that they have a symbolic meaning that is parallel to that of the "Holy Grail" in the Christian faith. Especially since Communion further expands this concept since it is through the communion of the Old Blood that the Healing Church is seeking to transcend humanity.
