good afternoon! im real shit at bloodborne. i did try, real hard, to mess up that first wolf. hit him maybe 8 times? im proud of that, if nothing else
i died about 7 times trying get to the first shortcut, the one that opens the gate to the left of the Central Yharnam lamp. the first time i went the wrong way down the path, towards that gate you can pull open, and got promptly destroyed by the big fucker. then i went back for my blood echoes, but of course he’d absorbed them, hadnt he, so he promptly kicked my ass.
then i picked my way very VERY slowly along the right way, being fairly liberal with my molotovs, and eventually made it to the bridge. yknow, the one with the wolves, shortcut house and the first boss? well, the wolves kicked my ass the first time, because i wanted to be tough and actually kill them. the next time, i just ran past them. opened the shortcut, hallelujah, and now i can use that house to grind out some blood vials.
then i fought the first boss for the first time (after having spent a bunch of blood echoes on some new equipment so i didnt lose as much of it, since i expected to die) and die i did. but now ive got the doll, so we’re good. im probably gonna grind the shortcut house and maybe the bridge wolves for a while so i can level up a bit and feel more confident. then im gonna fuck the big wolf in the shitter. :D
