How to obtain blood vials, blood echoes and quicksilver bullets, the easy way in Bloodborne? Bloodborne Guide

At the beginning of the game, it vital to own an appropriate number of Blood Vials. They are dropped by various opponents, in Yharnam, however, there are locations, where you can farm vials, i.e. obtain a larger number of them, relatively quickly. Later into the game, it should be easy for you to obtain them but, in at least two initial locations, it is a good idea to spend some time on getting the right amount, before you head on.

Blood Vials - Central Yharnam

Werewolves tend to get stuck in narrow passages

To obtain Blood Vials, you first need to unlock the gate to the left of the lantern in central Yharnam (see the Walkthrough to learn how to do that). Then, with this point as the starting point, you can go down to the building below, and kill two opponents along your path. Then, above (two more opponents), you find a bridge access. On the right, there are two werewolves. Attract their attention and escape back into the house. The opponents will get stuck in the doorway, where you can kill them easily. You receive several vials for that. Then, exit and go left - there, among crows, you find another bigger opponent that drops vials. Finally, return to the house and cross the exit to the right. As you go down, go left a bit, where you find two more such opponents, in the yard.

Allow the rolling ball to squash the opponents and dodge to the side, at the right moment

After you kill them, if you have unlocked the lift, you can enter the bridge, where you can have the flaming ball kill the opponents. Then, deal with the bigger opponent at the other end of the bridge. Climb up the stairs, on the left, where you encounter two, quite strong, opponents. For killing them, you receive more vials. This route, depending on your current level, should last 5-8 minutes and the number of the Blood Vials that you receive is going to be 15-20. If you find it difficult, you can focus on the werewolves at the beginning, which you will easily defeat, after they get stuck in the doorway. Taking the route several times will allow you to amass quite a few vials.

Blood Vials - Cathedral Ward

The beginning of the route.

Another location, where you can quickly get a higher amount of vials, and also quite a few Blood Echoes, is Cathedral Ward. The path is as follows:

1. Exit the chapel through the door on the left, two opponents in the yard.

2. Climb up, defeat the giant.

3. Go left, where you find two bigger opponents, one of them turned away.

4. Then, on the right, you find another giant, with a ball.

5. Return to the stairs and go to the main yard - there, you find two more giants, you can fight them one-by-one.

6. Cross the gate, at the foot of the stairs, kill two opponents and the vicious dog.

7. Then, take the stairs to the right, kill two more opponents past the gate, who are standing next to the bonfire.

8. Climb down and walk into the chapel.

The giants at the beginning are the most difficult to defeat, but they also drop 3 vials.

Thanks to this route you can obtain quite a few Blood Echoes, as well as blood vials, which are dropped mainly by the bigger opponents and giants. At first, you may have problems defeating all of the opponents, but after you master the way to fight them, you can do the beat within several minutes and collect valuable supplies.

Quicksilver bullets - Lecture building

Keep the opponents at the door, which makes them easier to defeat.

You can obtain some Quicksilver bullets in one place, after you defeat Vicar Amelia, obtain the Tonsil Stone and go to Lecture Building. There, in the lecture room on the left, find the Lecture Room Key, which opens the door opposite, on the right of the main corridor. Inside, there are a plethora of opponents, but they get stuck in the doorway, which will make it easier to defeat them. Thanks to this, you obtain several bullets and many Blood Echoes.

Blood Echoes

With your progress, obtaining Blood Echoes will become more difficult. Although the locations mentioned here are perfect for that, for the majority of time, due to the ease to defeat the opponents (later), this may be not enough, later into the game.

It is necessary that you time well the moment, at which you can lure one of the pigs away, and remain out of the other one's reach.

You can then visit Mensis Nightmare. Starting with the lantern Mergo Flat: Center climb up and go left, then. You encounter three opponents that resemble Shadows of Yharnam. Climb up the stairs and in a moment, you run up into a wild pig. After you kill it, go ahead, where you are attacked by two more (it is possible to lure one of them away and fight them one-by-one, which makes things easier). Finally, at the end, defeat more "Shadows". There are 4 groups of enemies to defeat, in the case of this route. For this, you will be rewarded with several Blood Vials and quite a few Blood Echoes.
