Use this to your advantage. Be patient. It's one of the few enemies in the game where aggression is not the best strategy. Stand outside of his attack range and respond appropriately to whatever he does. If he dashes or rolls forward, he's going to either shoot or attack. Just dodge out of the way. If he shoots his gun, move or dodge to the side. If he starts to walk toward you... slowly back up. He'll swing at you and "whiff." This enemy actually heavily rewards players who understand the fundamentals of spacing which is SHOCKINGLY few players, and the reason why he is considered such a difficult opponent. You do NOT need to press dodge, and if you do so you will actually ruin your positioning. To repeat: if he WALKS toward you, just back up slowly away from him. He will swing at the air in front of you, missing you. After his attack misses, he is vulnerable to a counter attack. This is when you should hit him. He can also be stunned very easily if you have a weapon that deals lots of poise damage, but I'd also advise against just mindlessly mashing attack. Learn how many attacks you can safely get in -- it's probably between 1 and 3 -- and then back off. Do this enough times and he will run out of heals, and then run out of HP. There is really only three things he can do. Once you know this, he becomes much easier. Although he still requires you to execute things perfectly, of course, and there's little margin for error. I'm not saying he's easy, but you can make him much easier if you understand how the game (and this boss) works. last thing I'll say is that if you do get hit by one of his attacks, you need the nerve not to panic dodge or try to heal in the default state. a panic dodge has potential to get you shot or attacked, and doesn't do anything to benefit you. it only leaves you with less stamina. trying to heal in the default state will just give him a chance to attack you while you're healing. you need to keep playing safely and carefully, wait for him to miss an attack. while he's recovering from his missed attack, this is when you should heal. safe healing follows the same properties and ideals as safe attacking. you can also use the lamp in the arena to your advantage. I generally advise fighting him near the back of the cathedral. his shots can't go through the lamp, and it's a good barrier that you can make him circle around when you need a moment to recover your mental state or find a safe opportunity to heal. always be thinking about how to use the environment to your advantage, even in a seemingly open and empty room. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:941629703] in Bloodborne...
