I get by with a little help from my pigs
Depending on how far you are into Bloodborne, you’ve probably come to realize that this late-game area, accessible using the “Mergo’s Loft: Middle” warp from the Hunter’s Dream, is one of the best spots to quickly earn Blood Echoes (and also some Blood Vials while you’re at it).
Those pigs, man. Horrifying as they look and sound, they pay the bills around here.
Previously, I took the safe approach — one pig at a time. But while on a “lunch break” today, I accidentally figured out that it’s even faster to take the first (isolated) pig down, and then run past the next two. They’ll chase after you and get into a tussle with a nearby group of cloaked foes.
With luck, the two groups will nearly wipe each other out. Swoop in for any stragglers.
