One Reborn | Boss Fights Bloodborne Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Attacks
- trampling/crushing - boss is trying to crush the player when he is standing in front of him or behind him, in that case kicks from the side limbs are added
- squirting poison - when you hit enemy back legs a poison might spit from there (violet slime) that deals damage if you won't move back
- drowning the arena with slime - boss is spiting poisonous slime, almost whole arena is drowned in it, you must hide under the balcony and watch out as walking on the drowned territory reduces your health points
- body rain - when enemy above is spreading his hands, you can expect a rain of falling limps
- explosion - an orange aura is created around the boss which quickly after changes into a big explosion with great range
- single bullet - the boss sometimes spit a single bullet towards the player, usually when you're far from the One Reborn
Combat
Immediately after the battle starts dodge the bullet shot at you, and then... bypass the boss and run to the end of the arena where on both sides you will find an exit to the upper balcony. You will find 6 priests/mages there, three per each side (connected with a bridge at the end, you don't need to run down). Start the battle with killing them, as they help the main boss and shoot fireballs at you. Watch out when you're up, enemy's attacks might reach you.
Enemy has few dangerous attacks, mostly magical ones that you must be careful of. It includes body rain, explosion and flooding the arena. These attacks are signalized before and it takes some time for the boss to do them. Thanks to that, avoiding them shouldn't be hard, just remember to keep attention to what enemy is currently doing - when you hit his "lower part", you can easily miss the moment when he is preparing an attack.
Attack him mostly in his back legs. Enemy is turning rather slowly and clumsy, so you will have some time to hit those parts (you might attack the tail as well). From behind you are less vulnerable to physical attacks which the boss is using less frequent than magical ones. Additional advantage of hitting legs is a chance for stunning the boss - then he will fall to the ground and it will give you a while to hit him with no worries. So attack mostly legs and jump away when he will prepare an attack or when a slime will start squirt from his legs.
Reward: 3x Yellow Backbone, 33 000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Advent Plaza respawn point).
