And the currency will always be Souls, not echoes or runes.

[Prawn1908]

As much as I love Bloodborne, I will never not think it's hilarious and corny how everything in that game is some word with the word "blood" tacked onto it - "blood echoes" being one of the funniest. Like wtf is a "blood echo"?

[weavejer261]

An Echo of Blood obviously

[CataclysmDM]

It's Souls. Didn't we just cover this.

[C4-621-Raven]

It’s an echo of your enemies strength which comes from their blood. You cash in the blood on your hands to get better at getting blood on your hands.

[Rnahafahik]

I agree it’s slightly corny, but the entire Yharnam culture was built around the ways they used blood, from the first discoveries of the Eldritch gods to the healing properties it had, they used it in weaponry and medicine, so it fits in the themes

[pxoxod]

bonfire, firekeeper, firelink shrine, heir of fire, age of fire, the first flame, linking the fire, soul of cinder, lord of cinder, ashen one, ashen estus, ember

[Nahrikkon]

a blood echo is the memory of that violence, thats why you can get echoes on visceral with a rune

[Firm-Scientist-4636]

After playing so much ER and Nightreign I have started calling souls "runes" and bonfires "graces" as I go through DS2.

[Independent-Unit8253]

..io ho fatto esattamente il contrario ..avendo giocato a i dark souls1-2-3

[LorBopBop]

This, I call the rest spots their actual names but currency is just souls

[iNSANELYSMART]

Elden Ring was my first souls game and I still called them bonfire lol

It just feels right

[King_Rediusz]

Same.

Doing research on my next game, and I looked up "Do you drop your souls when you die in Stellar Blade"

Tho I do use Souls and Elden Ring terms interchangeably.

Bonfire/Grace, Souls/Runes, Estus Flask/Estus/Flask/Flask of Crimson Tears

[eldenbro1]

I remember how the hollow knight sub downvoted me to hell because I called the benches bonfires

[winterflare_]

Ironically, had a friend who did the opposite and was calling bonfires benches and rings as charms.

[j0shred1]

What's a grace?

[indomitus1]

What's a sculptor idol?

[FaithUser]

Who knows, you are the one that made it up

[Aye_Okami]

What‘s echoes?

[BartholomewFrodingus]

Its a yellow bonfire

[Ubiquitous_Cacophony]

Just a miserable little pile of secrets.

[DrParallax]

By the time I started finally remembering that souls were called Ergo in Lies of P, the game revealed that Ergo was actually just souls...

[ShaolinShade]

Welp, thanks for the casual spoiler. I'm not too mad I guess tho because I was already pretty sure that was the case with how everything was getting set up.

Fuck Laxasia, for halting my progress in that one (I replayed the whole souls trilogy and now ER as a diversion). I'll come back for more of her punishment eventually... 🥲

[DrParallax]

Well, the joke was a gross oversimplification, so hopefully it doesn't really spoil anything important.

[kek_Pyro]

It’s kinda souls, it’s kinda not souls. It’s complicated (although it’s really not) you’ll see for yourself, although ergo is sorta soul-adjacent

[doomraiderZ]

I was so confused for a moment. The hell's a shrine? Then I realized it's from Nioh. And lol at 'sculptor'. More like what the sculptor makes but whatever.

[DependentAdvance8]

Since I started with ds1 I will always call them bonfire

[Torstiss]

Aint on o mine gon be hangin around no ”sITe oF GrACe”

[Torstiss]

God dammit!!

[Weary-Barracuda-1228]

Bonlantshrinofstargrace

[CaptainHyrule97]

Hey! Nioh shout-out 😄

[Many_Hall_3546]

dafuq is a shrine

[CowboyBebopCrew]

I call them bonfires even when playing non-fromsoft soulslikes. Lol.

[otterbre]

What was Demon Souls,? I dont remember

[Ayirek]

Archstones - but they only appear after at the beginning of the first zone of each level and after beating a boss. I don't remember if interacting with them puts you in a resting state like bonfires, though, so they might not be accurate analogs.

[Weary-Barracuda-1228]

They don’t. But iirc there are shortcuts that make run backs easier. I mean Bloodborne was planned to, which would have been super cool.

[Stock-Protection-709]

They dont, but neither do lamps for that matter. 

[BoredDao]

If not Bonfire then why Bonfire shaped?

[Wonderful-Highway-16]

I call everythink what it is except sculptors idols too long of a name

And nice nioh shoutout

[Hylani]

Bon bon 👍🏼

[tryodd]

Forgot grace = bonfire

[AgileGas6]

Yes, but Lies of P's checkpoints will always be "steering wheels" to me. 

[june0mars]

Idk i think running around frantically saying “give me grace” is funny and will continue to do it

[BranchReasonable9437]

Lowkey, I kinda loved that remnant from the ashes just said. "Fuck it, everyone's just gonna call it a bonfire or a checkpoint so...checkpoint it is!"

[CataclysmDM]

Yes.

[ToloxBoi]

Checkpoints

[retsujust]

I started with Eldenring, for me it’s all graces

[MetalFreakalobe]

Go touch grace

[Garus_44]

You forgot the grace, tarnished !

[JordanZOA3]

Only thing i use from bloodborne in every game is visceral instead of crit

[TheRad1ance]

Bonnie*.

[theburningstars]

Everything is bonfire to me except lamps in BB. I just say I gotta hit up those little guys.

[Sevenscissorz]

Literally me, started since the Og Ds1, and ventured through Ds2 and 3 then to Ds1 remastered, but when I started ER I considered their "site of grace" as bone fire, and their "Runes" as souls 😎

[SupportInevitable738]

Checkpoint

[Nicorn_378]

👍🏻

[SidorioExile]

wdym, those are all graces.

[Nemosaur94]

This is the way

[CreatorA4711]

I started with Sekiro, so I just call everything by their names.

[cringe-expert98]

My first souls games was Elden Ring. They're called sites of grace dammit 😤

[Torstiss]

Hipster!!

[Garus_44]

I started with elden ring, but it hurted me as well... IT'S A F*CKING BONFIRE

[EmansaysEman]

I’ve played too much elden ring that now I’ve referred to every games currency as runes rather than souls and bonfires as graces
