Tips for Souls Virgins (Bloodborne Prep)

[ghettoglamour]

I'm also a newbie and the first few hours have been really frustrating. I'm sure I spent about an hour without leveling up or unlocking new shortcuts because I was constantly dying and losing my echoes.

I would highly recommend that if you're a noob and die often, if you have a good run, don't get too brave and save your echoes, especially before entering new areas.

If you die and you have a long way to your echoes, chances are not only that you die before you get them back, but you could also encounter a strong enemy, which will take your echoes after killing you, and forcing you to defeat them in order to retrieve your echoes, which could be extremely difficult.

After a few hours, I figured out 2 different approaches based on what you want to achieve.

If you want to collect as many echoes as possible, stick to your best known areas, once you are done with the area you're comfortable with, don't hesitate to get back to the hunter's dream.

On the other hand, if you want to "explore" (find new items, NPCs, areas, unlock shortcuts, ect.), avoid combat on areas you already know, try to learn the attack patterns of new enemys, but not focusing on killing everything (because you'll probably die before getting safe anyway), but focus on getting as far as you can.
