- Arcane Tools Buffed: Early patches had weak hunter tools (Augur of Ebrietas, A Call Beyond). V1.09 gave them meaningful scaling up to 99 Arcane, making pure Arcane builds viable for the first time.
- NPC Summons Added: Patch 1.09 added several new NPC summons for boss fights, most notably Defector Antal for the Paarl and One Reborn fights, and Madaras Twin for Rom, the Vacuous Spider. This was a major quality-of-life improvement for solo players.
- Blood Gem Adjustments: Cursed blood gems (found in Chalice Dungeons) had their negative effects rebalanced. The cursed "drain HP" curse was made less punishing.
- Reiterpallasch Bug Fixes: A glitch where the Reiterpallasch’s gunshot would not trigger certain runes was fixed.
- Stats: Vigor 28, Endurance 18, Vitality 16, Strength 10, Skill 25, Bloodtinge 50, Arcane 7.
- Weapons: Chikage or Bloodletter + Evelyn pistol; high burst visceral damage when converted.

- Use the server notes: The community has marked almost every ambush and shortcut. Read the notes on the ground.
- Do not fear the Chalice Dungeons: V1.09 made them less grindy. The Pthumeru Ihyll chalice contains the game’s true final boss (Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen).
