What Blood Echoes means in its world

Blood Echoes are the cost of learning Bloodborne's streets and bosses. Every defeated enemy adds to the same pool used for character growth, supplies and weapon work, which makes a successful run feel valuable even before a boss falls.

Death leaves the total behind. It can be reclaimed from the bloodstain or from an enemy that has absorbed it, so rushing back without a plan may turn one loss into two.
