Bloodborne guide · Beginning of the game
← All areas in this guide
You awaken in Iosefka's Clinic after receiving a blood transfusion and must navigate the ground floor unarmed. After encountering a beast that will likely kill you, you awaken in the Hunter's Dream to collect your starter weapons before returning to finish exploring and unlock the path to Central Yharnam.

Shops and people
- Iosefka: Gives you one Iosefka's Blood Vial if you talk to her through the locked door and do not already possess one
Tips
- Do not worry about dying to the first Netherbeast; dying sends you directly to the Hunter's Dream to claim your starter weapons.
- You can defeat the first Netherbeast bare-handed using charged backstabs and visceral attacks, but it is much easier after getting weapons.
- Pull the lever located on the left side of the large gate outside to permanently unlock the path into the streets of Central Yharnam.
