Summons: locations and conditions
| Location | Condition |
|---|---|
| Old Hunter Henriett : Go straight from the Cathedral Ward lamp, up the stairs, through the gate (must have unlocked gate first to take this route), and she will be straight ahead, near the ladder leading up to the body with 6 Numbing Mists . There are a lot of enemies in this area, so unless you clear them out first, the two of you will have a lot of fighting to do before you ever even get to Vicar Amelia . She cannot enter Oedon Chapel itself. | Two main area gates have to be open in order to summon Henriett. |
