⚡ Pro Tips

💡 Explore thoroughly - many hidden areas and secrets
💡 Upgrade your weapons and abilities regularly
💡 Use stealth when possible - resources are scarce
💡 Save before boss fights
💡 Complete side content for extra rewards
💡 Pay attention to enemy weaknesses
💡 Use the environment to your advantage
💡 Experiment with different playstyles

🔫 Parry and Rally

  • Parry with the gun on the wind-up, then visceral attack - the timing is earlier than Souls' shield parry
  • Rally with the transformed weapon to regain health from blood; it is faster than a blood vial
  • Dodge toward the enemy, not away - most bosses punish backward rolls

💉 Insight and Chalices

  • Insight changes the world: more of it makes enemies harder and reveals hidden things
  • Chalice dungeons give the best gems; depth 5 is where the real damage lives
  • Pick one weapon and upgrade it with blood stone shards before spreading resources
