Vicar Amelia | Boss Fights Bloodborne Guide

Running Amelia most of the times jumps on the player's character and attacks him at the same time.

Attacks

- claw strike - the enemy draws her claws over the floor for a moment making the orange sparkles and then making few strikes with them

- attack series - Amelia attacks you with her hand and if she will hit you she will instantly attack you with another even faster attack

- vertical swipe - boss folds her hands for a moment as she would like to pray what makes her vulnerable for the player's attacks and then attacks the player's character with an air blast

- jump and strike - the enemy attacks from a longer distance by running towards you and making a jump which will nail your hunter to the ground

- claw catch - an attack preceded by raising the boss's both hands which then drop together to squeeze the player's character

- heal - in the middle of the fight Amelia folds her hands to pray and starts regenerating her Hit Points while she is surrounded by an orange aura. Instead of attacking you may cancel this effect by using a Numbing Mist

Battle

Vicar Amelia is a big sized enemy so you should take with you a weapon with a long range. Remember to take with you a lot of Blood Vials and, if you want, Molotov Cocktails. An absolute must-have is a Numbing Mist which you may take from a corpse in front of the stairs leading to the arena. Turn right and from a small square use the ladder to get up and collect a small amount of Mist.

The vertical swipe is preceded by raising the hands what makes it easier to dodge it.

The entire battle will keep the same scheme. When you will try to keep your distance from the boss she will attack you with an air blast. She will raise her hands what will let you take a time to find a way to dodge a tornado "going" towards you. He may also try to jump on you (dodge towards right). After both these attacks you will have a moment to attack her although you will not have enough time to make a fully charged attack since Amelia may attack you with her claws and interrupt the charge. Especially brutal will be the melee attack series preceded by drawing the enemy claws on the ground what will create the orange sparkles. When it will begin move away to a safe distance and patiently wait.

Interrupt the boss's healing as fast as you can.

When you will shorten the enemy health bar by a half she will try to heal herself by a big amount of Hit Points. You need to cancel this process by using the prepared Numbing Mist (throw it in your enemy while she heals). If you will allow Amelia to heal herself the battle will prolong quite a bit. Because of that you should use the Mist only if you are sure that you are ready for the final battle since you can't buy it and if you will not have it you will not have other way but to allow her to heal. Because of that you should wait with the battle for the moment when you are sure that you are ready for a battle and, for example, you have enough Blood Vials to face her. Otherwise keep Numbing Mist for later on.

Note: If you do not have Numbing Mist, it is still possible to interrupt the healing process. Try to attack mainly Amelia's legs, which may stun her and buy you time to land a finishing attack. If this fails, attack her anyways which will - at least partially - alleviate the effects of the healing.

If you will be too close to the enemy you are in danger of a huge amount of fast attacks.

The key to victory is to keep moving and attacking while jumping while the enemy will turn his back to you after your successful dodge. If you will stay next to Amelia for too long you may suffer from the attack series. Use a long weapon, make fast attacks and jump away from her as fast as you can.

Reward: Gold Pendant, 15 000 Blood Echoes, lamp which you may use (Grand Cathedral respawn point).
