Bloodborne Details: Leveling, Upgrading, and the Hunter’s Dream

March 19, 2015 by Ian Miles Cheong

New information about Bloodborne reveals details about the player’s base of operations.

Sony has released a new TV spot for its upcoming game, Bloodborne, which releases early next week exclusively for the PlayStation 4. You can watch the trailer below.

Beyond the trailer, Sony has also put out a host of information about the game's customization options and leveling. 

According to details posted by the PlayStation Blog, players will be able to transport themselves back to a place known as the Hunter's Dream, which serves as the player's base of operations. The Hunter's Dream is accessible through the use of lanterns spread throughout the world of Yharnam at any time.

In the Hunter's Dream, players can upgrade their gear, level up their character, repair and upgrade weapons, and seek gameplay advice from a character named Gehrman. 

The main currency in Bloodborne is called Blood Echoes, which players can earn by hunting beasts and more. Use Blood Echoes to purchase items from the shop in the Hunter’s Dream, or even repair and upgrade weapons. Additionally, there are special items called Blood Gems, which can be attached to weapons in order to increase their attack power and even add special characteristics to weapons.

Finally, in the Hunter’s Dream, players can also interact with the Memory Altar in order to memorise special Caryll Runes to upgrade their character. Certain runes allow players to carry more items, boost the amount of Blood Echoes they receive from kills, and more.
