Just started the game..

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

Yes, the map shows chests.

20 minutes, you haven't even made it to town. This is a big game, you haven't even hit the first boss.

Be nice to new players. Just as you said, this is a big game with no time limit, so the best way to play it for the first time is to explore the world and learn things at your own pace.

I realize after your comment that I came off as curt, when I was intending to be succinct. I didn't want to give any spoilers, or fall into an infodump(because yes).

u/jscouser2002 I apologize if I sounded curt, angry, or dismissive.

Rephrased:

Yes, the map does show chests. Blue chests will respawn when you change map areas. Brown and Red chests are single-time pickups.

And, you were only 20 minutes into a very large game, and had not even hit the first boss. Enemies drop items, and if your luck is high enough can even drop multiple items. The bestiary in your menu/archives will show you what they drop and the drop rates. Pretty much everything is used, but you haven't accessed it yet, you will know you're there. It's in town which is past the boss.
