Amazon has further updated the listing for the official Bloodborne strategy guide. This time, the retail chain revealed what exactly will be included in the collector’s edition book, which you can preorder with this page.
First off, the product comes with a bonus chest containing an exclusive dynamic theme of the Hunter’s Mark for the PlayStation 4 system menu. The other extras include a lore index, exclusive interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki in addition to artwork from the videogame appearing in every page.
In terms of the guide itself, gamers will be able to read through a training manual to help them better understand the game’s mechanics. Of course, there will also be maps that highlight the hidden routes, enemy encounters and other key locations. Read the first part of Amazon’s description for the book below:
Training Manual
Yharnam’s no place for novice hunters. Understanding how Bloodborne works starts here, and anyone who doesn’t arm themselves with understanding of its intricate systems will be quickly cut down.Hunting Grounds
From the streets of Yharnam to the end of the nightmare, critical routes and rewarding detours are plotted on detailed, invaluable maps. Text points highlight events, encounters, and tactics for each area’s key landmarks. This hunter’s compendium leaves no paving stone unturned.
The Bloodborne guide also has a bestiary to help players deal with the deadly enemies more efficiently. In terms of weapons, you will known about the damage, range, speed and other properties in your arsenal:
The Bestiary
A good hunter knows his enemy’s weaknesses. He knows their behavior. He knows what it takes to kill them efficiently. Study your prey carefully and discover all of the elements that make them what they are — and then the hunt is on!Arsenal & Attire
Your weapon’s only lethal if you know how to use it. Here you’ll learn about weapon properties, hidden damage modifiers, attack ranges, swing speeds, and much more. Whether you’re hunting beasts or other hunters, you’ll have the knowledge… and the advantage.
Finally, the hardcover will also talk about the new Chalice Dungeons, preparing gamers on what to expect from procedurally generated areas. It will also reveal the location and tips for completing quests given out by non-playable characters:
The Chalice Dungeons
These mean labyrinths of death provide an unending treasure trove of discovery and despair. Though the walls may shift and the denizens may change, we have prepared exhaustive notes detailing the horrifying and mysterious Chalice Dungeons. Their rewards are matched only by their challenge; don’t rush in unprepared.Hunter’s Appendices
The world of Bloodborne is deep and populated by fascinating people and deadly creatures. Finding all of the NPCs is a first step, and completing their quests is another. We offer more than that, though; here you will find behind the scenes info on the world and its characters from the people who created it! If you seek 100% completion and total mastery of Yharnam, search no further.
