Isolate Enemies Whenever Possible
Pebbles are used to grab the attention of enemies. Use them to pull one away from the crowd.
Bloodborne may very well be heavily influenced by the Souls games, but one thing that is quite different is the speed of combat. Things happen quickly and that includes going from walking all alone to being surrounded by a bunch of different enemy types. If you followed the first step and took it slow, most (if not all) of these situations have been avoided. But sometimes you might stumble upon a group of enemies you have to get through. Usually in these situations they don’t immediately notice you, so it’s time to use that to your advantage.
One item that is pretty common in Bloodborne is the pebble. Pebbles are a throwable item that don’t really do much damage (about two points worth), but are perfect for drawing the attention of one of the many beasts present in the city of Yharnam. When you come across a group, hang back and toss a pebble (not too far back though, you’re range isn’t the best). More often than not the targeted enemy will quietly shuffle towards you allowing you to make quick work of the unassuming beast. All you have to do is rinse and repeat.
Of course, this doesn’t always work as well as intended, so never forget to keep your wits about you.
