I'm far from being any good at Bloodborne but def. stick with it. It's a good laugh, once you get past first couple of bosses. I would say go for the axe as choice of weapon. Use the spin on the axe, and try to judge distance from enemies so both strikes hit - they all have pattern of attack, so getting some distance will let you observe when they will move forward / pattern etc. When you've got multiple enemies use pebbles, for those that haven't seen you yet, to separate them so you only tackle one or two at a time. For the bosses, def. just use your first few attempts to observe their attacks. This will let you know when to dodge and when to attack. Also, use standard enemies to learn patterns for boss-fights as they tend to replicate what is required for the boss-fight in that level. Plus, explore areas to get shortcuts - there are loads of shortcuts to give you easier access to bosses.
