Bloodborne (PS4) useful tips

The doll in the "dream of the Hunter"

The doll, which locates in "dream of the Hunter", only comes to life when you have discovered the first boss opponent. After that you can upgrade your character there.

Mercury balls procure

The mercury balls of in the store are quite expensive with 240 blood echoes per ball. This is probably because these can be very valuable, especially in boss battles.

Since you should use it later for important items such as the antidote or Molotov cocktails the blood echoes, you have a "drop" hope in one of the many creatures. This is the center of "Yharnam," and take a couple of shooters. These are only armed with a gun and let the precious balls almost always fall.

The choice of your origin

After a short introduction sequence get character creation. Here you choose next to gender and appearance and the origin of your hunter. This influences the distribution of skill points to attributes such as vitality, skill or strength at the start of the adventure.

Now choose a lineage that matches your style of play. Since beginning not sure how you want to go hunting, select the origin of "coward". Here, the points are evenly distributed to all attributes.

Choosing wisely, as later in the story, it saves a lot of time (because you have less "farms" to level up certain attributes) and blood echoes (which you will need for the acquisition of essential items, weapons and armor).

Fight the trolls

In the streets of Yharnam some wild trolls drive around. Especially at the beginning, you should take a wide berth. The massive creatures can be found mainly on paths to abbreviations or secret rooms.

If you will still involve in a fight, you should keep it ready your Molotov cocktails. Two pieces of it are enough to kill a troll.

Alternatively, it differs from the side and placed it behind you. Since the trolls are relatively slow, it may take a while, until they have turned back. Now you attacked the beast and soaked again. So you make the beasts fewer problems.

Caution: Do always keep an eye on the weapons of the enemy. Depending on the equipment, the trolls have a different move set. Thus, their behavior changes towards you.

Blood stone shards farming

With the valuable blood stone shards, enhance your primary and secondary weapons in the dream of the hunter. You'll find them often on corpses or are dropped by stronger opponents.

We have discovered a way, as you can always collect blood stone shards. On the way to the third final boss (Blood Hungry Beast). First you go there, you may even encounter five beasts (one surprise attack on the right of the entrance to the church).

Each of these beasts you donated a shard. Now back in the dream of the hunter and run back towards boss battle, you can re-grab four blood stone shards. You should die, you can also perform the operation.

Now you can enhance immensely or sell the pieces in store for her blood echoes your weapons. Both have their advantages.

Later you will meet him again when you have reached the safe cathedral. Go straight through the gate, they should be equal to the left, styling again, and it talks about a prey belonging to it. Unfortunately I can not say whether it is immediately there, if necessary, after each boss fight look again.

Maximum capacity increase of Blood vial

Select in the "dream of the Hunter" first the cathedral district from. Of the lamp (spawn), you walk down the stairs first, and keep an eye out for a right door. Go through and take the elevator to the top.

On the upper level, you can expect an opponent in wheelchair shoots you balls from his mini-gun around the ears. Softened with a few pike jump to the left or right and do the beast. Back of the room you can now find a chest. Open it to get the "Communion" -Rune.

After fighting the Witch of Hemwick, you will find the Rune workshop tool. In the "dream of the Hunter" you can now increase the maximum capacity of your Blood vial by its processes the rune on the tool table.

Iosefkas Blood vial

This is a similar item that works like the normal Blood vial. However, the effect is stronger (heals more health). One can get it if you go back in the history of the game back to the infirmary at the beginning of the game. The door is now closed and a woman talking with you when you interact with the door. Speaks to her a few times and you will receive the item.

One can only carry with him and you cannot sell or store. This item you can pick up again and again when you talk back to the door. So you always have more Blood vial. Attention: This item must be specially equipped and is NOT activated by [triangle].

Best route for blood echoes 

To use this route, you will need the lantern for "MERGOS memory: center".

Most optimally would also be the lantern at "Lunarium the nurse".

In principle, it is quite simple, run from one lantern to another and kill the 3 pigs together with the 7 shadow creatures.

A pig brings 9450 and per shadow being there in 2492 (slightly less, depending on the nature of the shadow system). I myself need for this route rather than 3 min.

So you'll get for about 3 min (+/- depending on how fast you are) an amount of about 45,794 blood echoes.

Even more, if you have rune of type moon, the more you wear them, the greater your yield at the end.

Besides, the shadow beings often properly drop each 1-3 blood vial per pig and you'll get 2-4 of them, one can thus incidentally often heal or equal to farm with.

Now for a few tips to make it easier for you:

1) It's best to start from the lantern of the nurse, as the opponents thus be easier for you. The 2 wandering pigs notice you until much too late and the one with the fireballs on the increase, is completely surprised.

2) The pigs:

a) Keep yourself away from the cloud that emits the pigs in the roar, they cause incredible what you can do quickly.

b) Always remain approximately 1 meter distance from them, so that you can respond well to start counter attacks.

c) If they rear up to you to death with their bodies, retreat, self-charge attacks do not interrupt this and it causes very high damage to you.

3) Shadow beings:

a) First try to kill holding a fireball in hand.

b) If you shadow being alone with the sword, with the sword + flamethrower against, you  ought to concentrate on holding a sword, as the other more of the opponent is holding the distance.

During her beginning still have some problems, it will let you quickly get used to the opponents and practically hardly die.

Quick Blood Echoes Farming

Once you've unlocked the classroom building, you can find there a reading room, which is full of arcane students. If you have your weapon until then been some improvement you can do with a blow students.

In the game you can find up to three runes, which increases the number of blood echoes from fallen foes. Now, when you equip two of these runes you can brief 950 echoes per opponents get when you have all three case even 1150th

After you've sorted out in the hall all students, you have received between 12,000 to 16,000 echoes and also increased your total stock of Q-balls. Now you have to return to the hunter dream to go from there back to the classroom building.

Since it is the hunter dream and classroom buildings are very small areas, they are loaded quickly and so you can scarce 100 000. echoes within 10 minutes farms!

Location of Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen

In this guide I will explain to you, by which cup dungeon you have to meet the lady.

First, it needs the Pthumeru-cup that her "blood-hungry beast" boss.

Do you have this, you have now come by following chalice dungeon in this order, the next cup always from the last boss of the previous cup-dungeon.

2) There is outside of the cup Dungeon blood chunk, which you can get to you. However, only 1x per run when you start a NG + you can get it to you of course her again.

Leverage the fast travel and put yourself to the lantern "MERGOS Memory: Basemap".

Get there with a lever on the rock the elevator, which is a cage at the same time.

If you're so got to the top, take again the same elevator in which the door is broken. During the ride to the top, you will come to a crossing over, here you have to walk by or roll in.

Now just follow the only path, but beware the opponent. This put you on the status of madness. If the bar full, you get extremely high damage.

Run straight ahead (against the spiders) and pass through the single pass, making come back into the open.

After a few steps, you will see a small building on the right, arrive through the remains of a wall.

Look down to where it sees a big hole. Jump down, but not directly into the hole, but on the platform around the hole where you will discover a corpse. Search and the blood chunk is yours.
