Bloodborne - Blood Echo Farming to Level Up Fast

In just a little more than a day since launch, already the gaming world is knee deep in Bloodborne, the latest action role-playing game from those sadistic geniuses at From Software. Given just how challenging Bloodborne is, most players are dying an awful lot, and we're sure more than a handful of DualShock 4 controllers have be snapped in half or thrown across the room (or both).

It's this widespread frustration of being stuck in an extremely hard video game that prompted us to publish a complete walkthrough for Bloodborne, with instructions on how to beat every single boss. It's also the reason that we're going to help you level up your character by showing you a spot where you can farm unlimited Blood Echo.

As the always on-the-ball PS4Trophies explains in the video that we've embedded below, unlimited Blood Echo can be farmed by traveling from Hunter's Dream to Central Yharnam. After arriving at their destination, players will want to travel to the area where they fight the two werewolves. Get their attention, then retreat down the steps and back into the nearby house. The werewolves won't be able to follow in there, although they will continuously try to attack you from the doorway. Keep your distance so that you don't take damage, striking back at them until both have fallen. This could take several attacks and a few minutes to pull off, but as long as you don't go outside you should remain safe the entire time.

With both the werewolves down, make sure that you search each corpse to retrieve the three blood vials from each beast, then use the lamp to head back out to Hunter's Dream. Immediately us the tombstone to return to Central Yharnam and repeat the process, as both werewolves will have spawned back in and will be ready to be farmed again. Players will want to do this for as long as they can keep their eyes open, allowing them to quickly increase their level and make a very difficult game just a little bit easier. Of course, as Brian from PS4Trophies noted, there are likely to be many more Blood Echo farming locations as the game progresses, but this is a pretty solid run for the early parts of the game. Just be aware that when you return to Central Yharnam it won't just be the werewolves that have spawned back in, all enemies will once again have to be dealt with, excluding the bosses.

When players are satisfied that they have all the Blood Echo they'll need for the time being, the next step is to boost some of their attributes, and perhaps even purchase some additional items, such as attire. It probably won't be enough to keep you safe for long, but there's no doubt it will make life easier for just a little while.
