Shadows of Yharnam | Boss Fights Bloodborne Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Three opponents, each one uses different attacks. - Shadows of Yharnam | Boss Fights - Boss Fights - Bloodborne Game Guide & Walkthrough
Three opponents, each one uses different attacks.

Attacks

- a series of sword strikes - this attack is performed by one of the enemies, who quickly approaches the hero and performs a series of very fast blows with his sword (interrupts the hero's attack).

- sword attack + fire attack - the second enemy uses his sword rarely (the attack is not very dangerous), but he frequently tries to burn the player using a flamethrower (jump back immediately).

- fireballs - the last opponent keeps his distance from the hero, shooting three fireballs at him. It is best to dodge them or hide behind a tombstone.

- snake attack - in the second phase, the sword fighter grows snakes on his head, which he can shoot towards the player.

- fire sword - the second enemy enhances the power of his weapon by setting it on fire.

- rain of fire - during the second phase, the last opponent can fire missiles at the player, which this time will fall from the sky.

- summoning - the most dangerous attack that can occur during the second phase of the battle; the enemies can summon huge snakes that attack from the water (a red circle around one of the bosses). It is best not to let it happen by interrupting the summoning.

Strategy

This battle is slightly different from the usual boss fights, because you are facing three opponents at the same time. Therefore, don't forget to bring as many buffing items as you can (some Fire Paper to put on your weapon).

During the first phase, it is best for you to deal with the enemies that keep coming close to you. The most annoying and dangerous at the same time is the sword fighter, who can attack you with a series of very fast blows. Focus on him first and lower his HP bar to about a half of it. You can back away from the enemies and charge a strong attack (with the extended weapon).

Next, deal with the second enemy and lower his HP bar to a half of it as well. The reason why you should do that instead of killing one after another it's because when the HP of one of the enemies falls to about 1/3 of it, the battle enters phase two and the opponents can use their most dangerous attack - summoning. Therefore, during phase two, you should try to reach a 1 vs. 1 situation as quickly as you can. Take a half of both the enemies that attack you on short distance and then kill the sword fighter fast. After that, finish the second boss and deal with the mage.

You must interrupt the summoning spell.

1 vs. 1 fight is not much of a challenge. The most important thing that you should have in mind is not to allow the enemy to cast the summoning spell. If he starts to cast it (red aura), approach him as quickly as you can and attack him to interrupt. After that, you can strike a series of blows.

To sum up: First, deal with the two Shadows that keep coming close to you. Watch out for the series of blows, the flamethrower and for the fireballs. When the fight enters phase two, kill the sword fighter as quickly as you can, then the second Shadow. At the end, remember to interrupt the summoning spell and avoid being hit by fireballs (dodge or hide behind a tombstone).

Reward: Blood rapture Rune (finishing attacks restore HP), 18 600 Blood Echoes, a lantern that you can light (respawn point - Forbidden Grave), unlocking the way to Byrgenwerth.
