We head into Old Yharnam despite being told not to by a menacing sign. Because of my progression route taking me to Cainhurst Castle, I have +7 weapons in an area where you're meant to only have +3 or 4, completely trivializing any non-boss enemy.
BOSSES KILLED:
-Blood-Starved Beast
SIDEQUESTS:
-Approached Old Yharnam from the front and spared Djura, the hunter on the gatling gun
