This guide is intended to give you tips and advice on how to survive in Bloodborne (exclusive title on PlayStation 4), so as not to find death around every corner: Yharnam is a very dangerous place but, with the right precautions , you will know how to extricate yourself from the thousand dangers that it conceals.
Dodge
In the Souls there is the parade to defend oneself while in Bloodborne dodging is the key to not dying. Never underestimate the importance of dodging: it is as simple to perform as it is essential for not taking lethal damage. Do not attack like madmen but study the enemy's movements well and understand how to escape them and then start beating your hands. Dodging is one of the key actions for winning a fight and, in case you get hit, don't worry: you can always regain energy by hitting your opponent in turn.
Manage your stamina
In addition to the vital bar you will notice a second one, namely that of stamina. You must always keep an eye on it as stamina represents your stamina, your ability to attack, run or dodge: once exhausted you will have to wait for it to recharge to perform these actions. It is therefore important to know how to manage both the attack and the dodging well during the clashes, as with a low bar it will be easy to fall prey to enemy attacks: find the right pace with which to attack and defend, to face enemies properly without discovering too much.
Death and Empowerment
Dying in Bloodborne is something that doesn't happen infrequently and can often be frustrating. However, this is not necessarily something to be taken badly: whenever your hunter ends up kicking the ball, analyze the fight well, review your moves and those of the opponent in order to understand where you went wrong and learn from your mistakes. It is a very important path.
Dying will also automatically teleport your character into the Hunter's Dream: inside you can buy items, upgrade weapons and the character himself. Furthermore, you will also see a doll, motionless, near the stairs near the church. This doll is called Automa and through it we can use the Echoes of Yharnam to power up your hunter. In true Souls fashion, the Echo cost of the next level will increase with each upgrade level. To activate the automaton, however, you must first present yourself in front of a boss for the first time. Initially it will be convenient to increase the attack capacity and stamina: bet strongly on both initially, or in any case on the basic characteristics. After pumping the character properly you will have to do the same for the weapons. To do this, you'll need Blood Gems, which you can then play at the Hill in the Hunter's Dream. Gems are often hidden for Yharnam, and to find them he will have to sharpen his eyes: they are often found together with other key objects.
To explore
Forget linear and simple exploration: Bloodborne is teeming with secret zones, shortcuts, dead ends and hidden passages from the eye. These passages often conceal the entrance to real secondary areas with lots of bosses to defeat. Destroy everything you come across to make sure you don't lose a single one.
Speak
Wandering around Yharnam you will find red lanterns on doors: these signal that these entrances conceal inhabitants. Always talk to the latter as they can reveal useful information or even give you real missions. In addition to the inhabitants you can also speak with the little white souls that emerge from the ground. These are the Messengers: they too will provide very important information for the continuation of your adventure.
Kill the prey
The Prey are none other than the bosses of Bloodborne. Defeating them will unlock a lantern so that you can use it as a reference point, as well as get a good number of Echoes of the Blood and unlock new items that can be purchased in the Hunter's Dream.
Using gunshots wisely
The bullets from firearms are soaked in the blood of our hunter and consume vital energy: each shot must therefore be managed intelligently. They should be used especially when you are sure you can block enemy combos, in such a way as to stun them and provide a window of time in which to attack them undisturbed.
Use the Bells
Inside Yharnam you can make use of the Bell, an object obtained after defeating the first boss. Through it it will be possible to call allies. In addition to them, it will also be necessary to spend an Intuition point to summon, only in specific points, other players or NPCs. These will help you on your path but not forever: if they die or use a particular gunshot (supplied with the Bell) the team will be broken down.
