Basic Information

Special companions and asynchronous intermediaries. Unseen by normal people, they are born in nightmares. They adore and obey hunters, and can be entrusted with messages that hunters leave behind. They hold the accumulated thoughts and wishes of hunters in their home of dreams.

Messengers facilitate some of the asynchronous online gameplay features. They can be seen crawling out of portals that connect the Human World with the Nightmare World, allowing them to easily locate the hunters. The messengers carry purple-glowing scrolls that contain unique messages left by fellow journeymen to aid you on your quest, or fool you into making a fatal mistake. Some of them can also be seen mourning the tombs of the hunters who have fallen to enemies.

When online the number of Messengers around Lamps indicates how many other players are in the same area, more messengers the more players around.

Asynchronous Online Features

Using the Notebook item, you can leave hints, messages, and gestures for players to discover within their own game via the Messenger creatures that appear on the ground. You can also interact with Messengers you find to read notes left by others, and can vote them as Fine (helpful) or Foul (misleading). Just because another hunter has left advice behind, that doesn't mean they're being truthful; ambushes and pitfalls abound in Yharnam, even from other players, so beware.

Players will leave behind a tombstone when they die that appears in other players’ games. If you touch one of these tombstones within your game, you can view a sort of replay of their final moments, and hopefully get a hint as to how they met their end so you can avoid the same fate.
