Hey man, love the genuine and hilarious reactions! Not trying to brag here, I've gotten the platinum trophy so I certainly play enough to lend you some helpful advice and tips I wish I had. Don't worry no spoilers just some useful stuff to know how to build your character up. Attributes: Vigor is health obviously Endurance is stamina as I'm sure you know lol Strength and Skill both work very similarly as they increase damage for weapons but, different weapons scale better with one or the other, they increase damage in general though and can go together to make you do more damage with pretty much all melee weapons. Bloodtinge is actually your guns damage but certain weapons and hunter tools which are basically magic artifacts can scale with it as well Arcane is basically magic and scales with the hunter tools artifacts, it can scale with certain weapons as well These all have a cap on them so, don't let it fool you into thinking you can level up attributes to 99, I mean you can but it sometimes makes little difference and just a waste of echoes and time after a certain point. Stamina eventually barely moves, I wouldn't worry about it once you hit 30-40 stamina I'm at 50 and it barely looks different than from 40. Health is important. You will need it. One shot awaits otherwise. Back to attributes and weapons, they have letters like " S A B C D E " These letters are what tell you not just skill requirements but what specific items scale with attributes, scaling just meaning attributes that benefit the item. Blood gems are buffs to weapons, you add them to matching slot shapes on weapons at the station you fortify and repair weapons, later you will have other tools, one unlocks a new function to the weapon workstation and the other will unlock the altar station where you put buffs on your character from runes. Damage to weapons is shown in the lower menu labeled durability It shows you the cost to repair the weapon and if it shows a weapon then it needs repaired, it costs more the higher sustained damage and lowers weapon efficiency. Guns never break for some reason so, yeah they're fine lol Btw dodge to the left with the blood starved beast, it works most of the time bc you're out of attack range and can slip behind it. I can't wait for another step in your Bloodborne journey. Happy Hunting!
Viscerals dont heal you (yet), they game has a rally system. if you take damage you will be able to recover a certain ammount of the damage taken by attacking. the game encourages you to play aggressive
