‘Bloodborne’ Modding Community Uncovers Loran Cleric Boss Fight
From Software have a habit of leaving cut content in their games, and once again, fans have discovered more of that content. Modders for Bloodborne have uncovered a boss fight with the mysterious Loran Cleric. The Loran Cleric exists in the game already, but according to the game’s files, the Loran Cleric was supposed to have a more prominent presence in the game.
According to the files, the Loran Cleric, which is found in the Loran Chalice Dungeons, would have also appeared in the Forbidden Woods, Old Yharnam, and the Upper Cathedral Ward. On top of that, there were variants of the base Loran Cleric — a variant version titled “Fort” is referenced in Bloodborne‘s files that seems to culminate in a boss fight. In the video below, the modding community was able to reconstruct the missing boss fight, although the AI is a little suspect.
As mentioned, the community has also been able to find and restore content from Bloodborne before this, including the restoration of a Snake Ball boss fight, as well as uncovering Father Gascoigne as an NPC. It makes you wonder if From Software’s recent game, Sekiro, has its own secrets…
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.

- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
