Despite being developed by ‘From Software’, Bloodborne is marginally different from ‘Souls Series’.

For more help on Bloodborne, read our Character Origins Guide, Cleric Beast Boss Guide and Father Gascoigne Boss Guide.

Whether you’re a veteran ‘Dark Souls’ fan or haven’t tried the series, this guide provides an overview of everything you need to understand about Bloodborne.

Creating your Character and Weapons
Identical to ‘Souls Series’, you start Bloodborne with an extension Character Creation screen – it even has shades and beards. After you’re done with creating your character, you’ll be asked to choose your Class.

Ideally, you ought to choose the one which complements your playstyle. If you prefer melee combat, you should definitely consider Military Veteran and if you wish to get a taste of weaponry, make sure to choose the one with high ‘Bloodtinge’ stat.

Once you’re into the game, you’ll have to die once in order to be teleported to the Hub World called the Hunter’s Dream. I highly recommend salvaging the first area for supplies!

Tip: No matter which item you’re holding, simply press ‘Triangle’ anywhere to heal your character.

Similar to your class, choose a weapon which complements your unique playstyle. You’ll acquire your first weapon in Hunter’s Dream – cleaver is has really fast attack speed, axe are two-handed and pack a high damage output, and blunderbuss is ideal for crowd control.

You can also purchase new weapons and armor using Blood Echoes which is Bloodborne’s version of souls.

Combat Tips and Techniques
In Bloodborne, the quicker you get used to your off-hand weapon, the better it is. Since the weapon works like a shield to stagger enemies, as soon as you see an enemy launching an attack, shoot it.
