he's a frustrating boss for sure, but I've started to get more consistent at fighting him once I realized that he has a similar body type and fighting style to Amelia -- a boss I generally do VERY well again. granted he's bigger, has more range, and a trickier move set... and he fights smarter. thing about Amelia is that she is constantly leaving herself open to attack and making bad moves, while the Bloodletting Beast is the opposite. he's constantly guarding his openings and will punish you for trying to punish him too greedily.

anyway, got started on my post-chalice exploration delving and I'm enjoying myself quite a bit already. made a sinister pthumeru ihll root chalice with all four modifiers activated. this gives my character permission to summon any other tier 5 chalice or below -- with any modifiers -- by using chalice gylphs. meaning I can infinitely explore fellow player created dungeons now without the use of anymore materials. fun stuff!

my current armory:
+9 Lost Saw Cleaver
+8 Lost Saw Spear
+8 Holy Moonlight Sword
+6 Lost Kirkhammer
+6 Ludwig's Lost Holy Blade
+6 Tonitrus

At this point I think I have pretty much everything that i need, but it's still fun collecting weapons. and I definitely want to find a Lost Tonitrus at some point. I'm making way, way more use of the Kirkhammer than I expected. It's actually got a pretty solid move set for fighting the medium enemies in the chalices, which gives it a pretty unique niche. It has just the right amount of stagger and its unique transformation attacks can be used to set up very damaging combos. Even at +6 it's hanging with my +8/+9 weapons.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
