Every time I die I lose everything?

When I die, all I can do is buy weapons from the armory but nothing else is different, I still start the same, 0 gold, no special weapon, What am I missing? where is the basic manual on how to play this game? no tips and tricks, but simply how to play this thing.

Try the statue in the room where you select your character. You can use the titanite from runs to increase starting stats and other factors.

Go top left to the statue you can buy starting upgrades/buffs there with titanite.

Yes, I'm new to this, I pretty much finished VS, played brotato, and Halls of Torment, pretty much unlocked everything in Halls, but I'm new so I need to educate myself. For whatever reason, this "statue" is chainlocked, but everyone else on youtube, and guides show it unlocked already, so I was thinking maybe a bug on my side?
Is it bad that I can't figure this out? should I abandon this game?

I don't remember what exactly unlocks it, but I do remember the chains breaking and it becoming accessible pretty early after playing a bit.

However, that (and to an extent the armory: unlocking more items to use) is the only source of "permanent progression". Every run you start with nothing but your class and your permanent buffs, all your items are random and new every time. That is the essence of roguelites.

I believe it's beating the first difficulty.

ok great, that's all I needed to know then. No bug, nothing weird, nothing else I'm missing. Thanks!
