The armor you find on the sewers have the best stats of the entire game till late game, good luck
Just fucking run!!!!!
I don't know what a Point of Insight or a Cleric beast is. I know that I'd like to level up after fighting 40 enemies.

Maybe I'm too passive, yeah. The thing is whenever I'm at the same spot the enemies sometimes don't notice me and sometimes just run to me guns blazing, all of them. Sometimes even when I try to lure someone with a pebble to single them out. It's just really inconsistent in my experience.
I don't have a problem dying a lot. What i do have a problem with is dying a lot with the huge ass corridor with 15 or so enemies in it between me and my next objective. DS 2 got rightfully critizised for that stuff and just because the corridor is wider and there are more enemies in it doesn't mean it's better all of a sudden.
Not a DS veteran, but this is one of the tips that made Bloodborne make sense to me. I was about 5-8 hours in before I realized how easy it is to run past enemies.
The way of the coward is a strategy all people learn 5-10 hours into their first souls game.
Leveling up isnt gonna make you better at this game dude.
Maybe learn the level or something, jeesh. Explore or something.

Hear me out here please. I played through Dark Souls three times, it was challenging but manageable, NG++ as well. Now I'm here and wonder what the hell is going wrong. I simply can't advance to the second Lantern, wherever that thing is.
And even if i would find it I still can't invest anything in better stats because of the genius decision to hide an item somewhere that you need to start leveling up.
I die everytime at the spot where the giant thing is pounding against the gate at the well where 2 hounds and 3 or 4 people are and then I have to beat that way too long corridor with way too many enemies again and again. Dark Souls 2 was critizied for that, but it's nothing against this POS corridor. Somehow half of them always notice me when I try to sneak past them as well.
Those people at the well also manage to spot me even tho I only try to lure one of them via a pebble. The detection system is janky af.
After the 7th time running along that corridor I'm close to giving up and it's a shame because I would actually enjoy the game if I would find that second save spot and if the game would let me invest my freaking xp.
I highly disagree. I never played a Souls game this way and I think the "run through" suggestions are just a sure way prevent the OP from actually learning the game.The beginning area is supposed to teach you that you don't need to fight every enemy. Just dodge through everyone and you will eventually end up at the bridge. Insight is a currency they will teach you later but it allows you to see things like the doll. Just trust us and run through the enemies. Until you encounter the first boss.
It's not really that different. What matters more is upgrading your weapon.Leveling does help if you are clearing the level out. Fighting the cleric beast at level 1 vs level 5 is a different experience.
It works perfectly fine in that particular corridor though.I highly disagree. I never played a Souls game this way and I think the "run through" suggestions are just a sure way prevent the OP from actually learning the game.
Apart from the combat...yes? I have my problems adapting to it but it's not like I'm bad at adapting to things.

Don't give up! You are super close to unlocking a major shortcut and the ability to level up. The ability to level up thankfully isn't super obtuse, it just requires reaching (not even defeating) a boss once. Imagine if Dark Souls 1 required gaining 1 Soft Humanity before you could level up, that's sort of the idea here.After the 7th time running along that corridor I'm close to giving up and it's a shame because I would actually enjoy the game if I would find that second save spot and if the game would let me invest my freaking xp.

You can front up the whole mob in the street with ease, just get a weapon with a bit of range and dodge back. Small groups will break off and you just take them out one at a time.
i recommend axe for beginner
No.
But seriously are you.... are you trying to go through the werewolves on the bridge?
Also funny story about that second lantern
There is no second lantern, not until you beat the first boss anyways, you just need to keep your eyes open to open up shortcuts
My advice is look around carefully, observe your environment, try to find hidden things.

You are right OP.
I just kept playing because neogaf told me the game was amazing. Well, the game will become better and better until you fall addicted to it.
But it's a fact: the beggining is terrible for people who never played this games before.
The story is shit too. Forget about it. It wasn't made to make sense and the way it's presented is terrible. I needed a guide to comprehend what I was supposed to understand.
Anyway, it's the best gameplay of the generation. However I prefer witcher3 as the game of generation. Bloodborne was my GOTG until recently.
I heard you out.
But naw.
"I suck, therefore this game is awful"
It's awesome. Dripping with atmosphere, subtle music and excellent level design. It's a crazy strong opening.
never played demon's souls, op? another 'freaking awful' game: you couldn't level up till you made it through the first level & beat the first boss ...
This same op could be applied to any souls game. Just play better and safer. BB is the easiest souls game by a mile.

Sure, but he doesnt even know how to get to the cleric beast. Maybe explore the huge level before talking about wanting to lvl. If you find the shortcut you can run to the boss no problem.without going past the two werewolves on the bridge.
You're going the wrong way, if you kill those guys and the dogs, you will just get fucked up more by the two dog things on the bridge. Break the boxes near the door with the chatting woman.
You can't really avoid that path to the cleric beast unless you go to the sewers and if he goes there he will get a madman item or encounter the second boss. I was just trying to tell him how to unlocking leveling quickly.

You're right I didn't. Maybe Demon's Souls doesn't have a corridor with 15 enemies in it that GAF advises me to just completly ingore and run through it, because that's how it's supposed to be played...
