Hello!
So I'm quite pleased at the moment because my gf wants to start a Bloodborne play through. Problem is she isn't really a big game-head like I am and has only played fairly casual FPS and RTS titles. Since I'm very much into the Souls series, I think like a hardcore souls guy and am having trouble thinking like a true beginner. So..
Any advice you think would help her out? She's building toward a Str/Arc build splashing Skl for certain options she might want for later. I would really like to start her with a base build of Axe/Holy Blade/Blunderbuss and work toward a raw STR with elemental infusion as a viable option given the updates.
EDIT 1: Turns out she's some kind of clumsy rain-woman at this game. Exact situation - fighting staff wielding man-beast and misjudged a roll into the sewer bottom. Lands in the midst of 6 rats and the beast jumps down after her. She manages to heal, rolls out and follows up with an axe thrust killing the beast. Finishes all the rats with one charged R2.

A bit late, but: Make her face an Undead Giant (chain variant) and let her figure out how to beat it with 5~ blood vials The attacks of this giant are very telegraphed, so even a new player can pick up on them pretty quickly (this prepares the new player to the concept actually studying their opponent during the fight in order to find a good counter) The chain variant of Undead Giants can prove to be quite difficult to players that do not have good patience and are very unforgiving if the player gets greedy since it only stagger to certain circumsatance (i.e. heavy attacks dont effect it). So it should be a good warm up boss to anyone playing a souls game for the first time
