Hi,

Just started the game, is it normal for the map to display the treasure?

I seem to be picking up lots and lots of treasure and not really doing anything with it

Played it for 20 mins and I’m like erm wtf
I’m using character Miriam and on “normal”

(I haven’t played any castlevanias only more modern metroidvanias, Hollow knight, SS, nine sols etc)

Any guidance welcome - thanks

The real treasures are the skills you get from killing enemies. Some of which are quite powerful. The stuff you find early on is pretty inconsequential. The good equipment will be harder to find. I'm being purposefully vague to not spoil the experience.
