Anything new you're picking up? A playthrough you're finishing up? Playing the new Nightreign DLC? Let us know!
Bloodborne was the first one I played, and I think what helped me the most was to just play and get used to the game in addition to treating loss of blood echoes as unimportant. Sure, especially in the early game, echoes are precious because healing is limited and farming blood vials is annoying. But once I no longer feared losing my echoes and actually got to engage with the game and its mechanics, I had a lot more fun with the game and its exploration. I didn't stress as much either.
What about you?
Yeah, the real currency is knowledge and opening shortcuts.
