Bloodborne: How to open the main gate in Cathedral Ward?

The gate across which you access the main yard.

After you defeat Father Gascoigne you will walk into the Cathedral ward. As you exit the cathedral through the left exit, and turn right, you make it to the large locked gate, after you climb the big stairs. Opening it is necessary to access the main yard and then, the rest of the locations. There are two different ways to open the gate.

The bigger the opponents, the more Blood Echoes.

The first one is not too demanding, nor time consuming. First of all, you need to defeat the Cleric Beast, the boss on the Great Bridge. You then receive the option to buy the Sword Hunter Badge from Messengers, in the Hunter's Dream. After you buy it, you can use it to open the gate. The only problem at this stage, is the price of the badge (10 000 Blood Echoes). If you run out of opponents, you can respawn them, by returning to the Hunter's Dream, and back to Cathedral ward. You also receive lots of cocktails for killing the large opponents, which is why killing them is highly profitable. After you have collected the amount, effect the purchase.

The balcony that you get to, after you use the lift - by jumping off it, you open all the gates.

As a matter of fact, you do not need to open the gate at this side, which would require you to spend your Blood Echoes. This method is the easiest and the fastest, but there also is an option to open the gate at the other side. To do this, you need to visit Old Yharnam, where you need to defeat the Blood-starved Beast. This is when, at the Odeon's Chapel the door on the right will swing open - it leads to the Healing Church Workshop. After you jump off it, o the very bottom, and go left at the intersection (after you leave the building) you find a lift to Cathedral ward. Climb down from the balcony that you get to and open the nearest gate, and then another two, including the one leading up to the central yard.
