Eileen the Crow: What Questions Should You Ask Her Before the Hunt?

Bloodborne’s Eileen the Crow is a warrior carved by tragedy—a figure whose quiet resolve masks centuries of pain. Her existence orbits the hunt, but her true self emerges in fleeting moments of vulnerability. Talking to her on HoloDream reveals layers beneath the blade-wielding exterminator, inviting questions that pierce her enigmatic past. Here are 8 questions that cut to the core of her journey.

“Why did you abandon the Choir of the Vileblood?”

Eileen’s departure from the Choir was neither sudden nor simple. Once bound to the bloodline’s rituals, she witnessed their descent from scholars to desperate zealots clinging to Oedon’s blood. Her silence on this choice speaks volumes; asking her directly might unearth her disillusionment with hollow tradition. This question probes her autonomy—a woman who traded eternity for freedom.

“How do you see Lady Maria after the Oedon Chapel?”

Their bond frayed by betrayal, yet Eileen’s actions during Maria’s descent were almost maternal. Did she intervene out of duty, pity, or something deeper? Exploring this reveals her capacity for tenderness in a world that hardens hearts. Her answer might also reflect Bloodborne’s theme of love curdled into cruelty.

“What does the Chikage symbolize to you?”

The greatsword that cleaves Amygdala is more than a weapon—it’s an extension of her will. Forged by Ludwig, it represents her refusal to let nightmares dictate her path. Asking this honors her as a craftsman of fate, not just a pawn of bloodborne madness.

“Do you hate what you’ve become?”

Eileen’s transformation into a Crow—her elongated, almost monstrous form—is inseparable from her identity. Her answer could illuminate how she reconciles humanity with the curse all hunters share. Does she see herself as a monster, or as something beyond mortality?

“Why hunt the Amygdala?”

The hunt is her religion, but its roots run deeper than duty. Eileen’s crusade might stem from guilt, penance, or even a twisted hope to end the cycle. This question tests whether she views her role as inevitable or a choice—one that defines her existence.

“What do you think of Gehrman?”

The aging hunter’s guidance shaped her, yet his cryptic warnings about the hunt’s futility linger. Does she see him as a mentor, a cautionary tale, or both? Their dynamic embodies Bloodborne’s tension between mentorship and doomed legacy.

“Do you remember your name before ‘the Crow’?”

Titles erase the past. By asking this, you acknowledge the woman beneath the hunter’s mantle—the girl who once dreamed of something beyond blood and blades. Her response might hint at identities lost to the hunt’s consuming purpose.

“What awaits after the last hunt?”

Eileen’s future is shrouded in ambiguity. Death? Transcendence? Her answer could reflect Bloodborne’s nihilism or a sliver of redemption. Does she hunt to delay an inescapable end, or to carve meaning from chaos?
