A Molotov Cocktail is a consumable item in Bloodborne.
Description[]
In-Game Description
- Explodes in raging flames when thrown against an object. One of the oldest hunter tools available in the workshop.
- Since the tragedy that struck Old Yharnam, fire has become a staple in beast hunts, and is thought to cleanse impurity.
- Certain types of beasts have an abnormal fear of flame.
Availability[]
- Found on corpses throughout the game.
- Purchased from the Bath Messengers in the Hunter's Dream using Blood Echoes.
- Rare drop from Hunstmen.
Effect[]
Molotov Cocktails can be thrown at enemies to deal great fire damage within a certain area, which makes it effective against large groups of weaker Beasts, who are weak to fire damage.
Cost[]
The price of Molotov Cocktail will raise as the game progress.

Notes[]
- When used in conjunction with Oil Urns, they deal a stronger explosion.
- The Rope Molotov Cocktail deals the same damage but is faster to use. However, it can only be thrown behind the player.
- This item scales slightly with Arcane, meaning that high Arcane builds would benefit from using this item.
- There is a variant of this item called Delayed Molotov, found in the Hunter’s Nightmare. It is simply thrown at the ground and explodes like a regular Molotov after roughly two seconds.
- It is used by the following characters:
Trivia[]
- This is one of the most relevant items in the lore of Old Yharnam, as it is likely hundreds of them were the cause for the entire city to be set ablaze.
- The term “Molotov Cocktail” is highly anachronistic as that didn’t exist until World War 2 when the Finnish coined the term “Molotov Cocktail” when fighting back the Soviets with fire bottles in 1939 to mock Vyacheslav Molotov after he said the aerial bombings in Finland were actually the planes off dropping food supplies.
