Elden Ringhas been out for a couple of months now, and while there is plenty to do in New Game Plus, many veterans and newcomers may be looking for something to follow it up with. Many already consider it Game of the Year though, and that, unfortunately, means it’s a hard act to follow. Perhaps the best way is to take a stroll throughFromSoftware’s catalog and visit games likeDemon’s Souls, Dark Souls,Bloodborne, andSekiro.
For veterans, this could be a walk down memory lane while waiting forElden RingDLC. For newcomers, it’s a good way to look at howElden Ringhas evolved the formula but to also get acquainted with even more Souls game is a reward in and of itself. Of the aforementioned titles,Bloodborneis perhaps the most popular and could be one of the most approachable games above. It’s a good choice to followElden Ring.

Of course, if newcomers have learned anything aboutElden Ring, it’s that leveling and grinding is a viable, helpful option. Players can avoid this, instead relying on sheer skill, but being able to get a ton of Blood Echoes (the equivalent toElden Ring’s runes) easy makes the entire game a little smoother—if even not exactly easy depending on how much someone levels. Luckily, the best Blood Echoes farm inBloodbornestill works, as tested by Game Rant on August 08, 2025.
This Blood Echoes Farm is really easy, allowing players to get roughly 83,000 Blood Echoes every minute or so. In fact, the hardest part of this farm is unlocking it, as players will need to progress through Old Yharnam and reach the Blood-Starved Beast. This means players may encounter the Cleric Beast, will definitely encounter Father Gascoigne, and a few other odds and ends on the way there. To unlock this farm, players mustbeat the Blood-Starved Beastand acquire the Pthumeru Chalice.
Bloodborne – Blood-Starved Beast Tips and Tricks
The Blood-Starved Beast can be difficult for newcomers. There are a few tricks that will make defeating it easier. If nothing else, players should try summoning another player or a friend of a higher level to help with the fight (although be aware this costsInsight inBloodborne). Dodging to his left helps the most combat-wise, and otherwise, it can be a straightforward battle of attrition.
Bloodborneplayers should definitely carry antidotes, as eventually, it’ll have spores that constantly poison players. However, if it manages to grab players and bite them, it’ll also immediately poison them. Surviving this attack is incredibly difficult. To easily defeat the Blood-Starved Beast, however, players should try the following:
Once the Blood-Starved Beast falls, players will be able to approach the altar in the back of the room and claim the Pthumeru Chalice.

Bloodborne – How to Use the Best Blood Echoes Farm
With that,Bloodborneplayers will want to return tothe Hunter’s Dream. They’ll turn to their immediate left to all the tombstones and approach the second one. When using this alter, players will want to choose to input a glyph and enter “CUMMMFPK.” This unlocks the farm.
Once players spawn in, they’ll want to barely step outside the nearby doorway. Turning the camera so players can see the left wall will reveal a faraway health bar that is consistently taking damage. If players do not see this, then they traveled too far into the next chamber, which prevents the creature from dying. They’ll just need to then wait for thisunseenBloodbornemonsterto die, and they’ll have their 83,000 Blood Echoes. They can then return to the lamp, go back to the Hunter’s Dream, and load the dungeon up again to repeat the process.
In roughly ten minutes, they’ll earn a million Blood Echoes and can spend that on whatever they want. It should be noted that the required number of Blood Echoes needed to level up goes up quickly, but a million Blood Echoes should get players close to level 85 or so. They can keep running it, of course, as much as they want, and while the game can still present several challenges, it can be an easy way to makeBloodborne’sYharnama lot easier and even more fun for those who prefer this approach.
