Celestial Emissary | Boss Fights Bloodborne Guide

Boss is surrounded by enemies that look exactly like him.

Attacks

- summon minions - during both phases in the lower part of the arena smaller enemies will constantly show, when you kill some - new will appear

- fist attack - occurs in both phases, in first (small size of enemy) it's rather harmless, in second it's much more devastating

- treading - in second phase enemy might tread the player, especially if he is very close

- quick series of hits - few hits one after another, very dangerous attack if you won't dodge first hits

- laser - when the boss spreads his "tentacles" around his head it means that he might use this magic attack, it is signalized by a circle spreading above his head, you can hide behind pillars, it is most dangerous attack of Celestial Emissary.

Combat

Attacks that remove all enemies at once are good choice.

In first phase of the battle you can't guess which of blue enemies showing on the arena is the boss. You can recognize him by attacking while group with an attack with greater reach and keeping attention when boss is receiving damage. Then you should focus on him and ignore other enemies.

Small enemies can be lured to stairs and then left there by jumping down - they will return around.

If Celestial Emissary's minions give you trouble, you can lure them to the stairs and then to the pillars. When enemies will be getting close jump down - they won't do the same, instead they will return around, giving you some time for 1 vs 1 battle. It is a good way to check who is the true boss - in first phase he won't run after you, instead he will remain on the lower part of the arena.

After growing, boss gains some new attacks.

When boss receives some damage (about half of his health bar) he will become much larger, so you won't have trouble with recognizing him anymore. When that happens, he will gain some new attacks, from which a series of quick fist attacks is especially dangerous. Try to eliminate smaller enemies (at least of them so that they won't surround you) or lure them away by using the tactic described above. His attacks are mostly well signalized and easy to avoid, so you should be able to make some quick hits.

Tentacles means that he is ready to attack you with laser.

At the end of the battle boss will gain ability to use laser. It will be signalized by spreading tentacles around his head. Tactic doesn't change too much, but from now you must observe Celestial Emissary's behavior more thoroughly. If he spreads his hands around his head and starts forming a bullet, focus on him and make few dodges, one after another. You can also try to hide from this attack behind one of pillars.
