Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos | Boss Fights Bloodborne Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Attacks
- head smash - boss raises her head and then lowers it crushing the player
- tentacle hit - sweeping move that deals lots of damage; after a successful dodge it allows you to attack the boss from the back which is the best position for attacking
- charge - used mostly when player is away, this attack is hard to avoid so it is wise to remain close to Ebrietas
- blood spit - a brown liquid appears around boss head, then Ebrietas spits (twice) blood towards player, attack has long reach and increase frenzy to critical level
- catch and bite - increase frenzy, it can immediately kill you, it is signalized by widely spreading limbs
- laser shoot - one of most powerful attacks, it can be used in second phase of the battle (around 50% health points). Ebrietas shoots few lasers, three in a row; attack is done from above her head, it can be avoided only by making quick side dodges, if you fail to avoid it, it deals massive damage
- flying, air strike - head smash, similar to standard one, only difference is basic distance that enemy is flying through to get closer to player
- aura - in second phase Ebrietas can create aura that deals damage if you remain close to enemy for some time
Combat
When you move to the boss for the first time he will be neutral, the battle starts when you attack her. During successive tries Ebrietas is standing back to the player which allows you to easily get close to her and deal a fully loaded hit. Remember about this advantage, take some Sedatives as well as some of her attacks might increase your frenzy.
Ebrietas is a large enemy which means she has long reach of her attacks. And the amount of those attacks is impressive as well. He physical attacks deal lots of damage and sometimes it is hard to avoid them. And there is frenzy and deadly laser attack in second phase of the battle. All those attacks are connected with one thing that you should take advantage of - all of them are done "in front". It means that if you find yourself behind boss you can easily deal some strong hits without worrying about taking damage.
Although head is the weakest point of the boss, it is hard to hit it unless enemy will leap in a good for you way. Because of that and frontal attacks you must do whatever you can to get to the back of enemy where you will be relatively safe. Not locking your camera on Ebrietas head might help you with that. When you're behind her, deal strong hits at her torso. There is a great chance that by doing so you will stun the boss - she will automatically turn in front of you, which will give you an opportunity for finishing blow or attacking her head. Few such strong hits might again stun her, in perfect scenario you will be able to deal a series of few stuns, one after another, which will greatly reduce boss' health bar.
In second phase of the battle Ebrietas will gain some new attacks, most often she will try to catch player or spit blood. If you're frenzy is quickly increasing, use Sedatives, unless you want to say goodbye to almost whole (or whole, depending on your remaining HP) health bar.
Additionally, Ebrietas can use laser in this phase. From below, when you have only back of the boss in front of you, you might not see this attack coming, which will probably cost you your life. Additionally, watch out not to block yourself in some point of the arena. If you will stand in front of the boss making a correct dodge won't be hard - when you see attack is charging (blue aura), start dodging. Remember, there will be three shoots one after another, so it is better to make one dodge too much than get hit by this very strong attack. Then remember about returning to the back of the enemy, another laser attack won't occur too fast.
