Our Recommended Boss Order Explained

Cleric Beast (Optional)

The Cleric Beast, an early encounter in Central Yharnam, is aggressive and powerful. Target its hind legs to trip it, then focus on its head.

Father Gascoigne

Father Gascoigne, a challenging early hunter, requires mastering parry timing for efficient combat.

Blood-Starved Beast (Optional)

Located in Old Yharnam's Church, this beast is vulnerable to fire and explosive weapons. Maintain distance to avoid heavy damage.

Vicar Amelia

Vicar Amelia, a self-healing beast, is vulnerable during her healing animation.

The Witch of Hemwick (Optional)

This invisible witch requires close-range engagement and firearm use. Deal with her minions first.

Shadow of Yharnam

This club-wielding creature is susceptible to attacks after its swings. Target its legs to cause it to stumble.

Rom, the Vacuous Spider

Rom's poisonous attacks and summoned spiders require careful management. Prioritize spider kills before attacking Rom. Defeating Rom alters the game world, so complete exploration beforehand.

Darkbeast Paarl (Optional)

This hulking beast in Yahar'gul is best tackled after Rom.

The One Reborn

The One Reborn uses physical and magical attacks. Prioritize eliminating summoned enemies.

Martyr Logarius (Optional)

This challenging boss inflicts Arcane damage. Mastering parries is crucial.

Amygdala (Optional)

Amygdala's size and reach make this a difficult fight.

Celestial Emissary (Optional)

This fast-moving boss requires careful dodging and strategic attacks.

Micolash, Host of the Nightmare

Micolash's use of fog and summoned enemies requires a strategic approach. Poison knives are an effective tactic.

The Old Hunters Bosses

The Old Hunters DLC bosses are fought in a linear sequence. After Ludwig, return to where you obtained the Eye Pendant to fight Laurence (the only optional boss in this area). Then, proceed to Living Failures, Lady Maria, and Orphan of Kos.

Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos (Optional)

Ebrietas uses tentacles and magical attacks. Avoid her head slam attack.

Mergo's Wet Nurse

Mergo's Wet Nurse uses tentacles and water projectiles. Focus on dodging during fog obscuration. Defeating her brings you close to the game's end.

Gehrman, the First Hunter

Gehrman, the penultimate boss, utilizes a scythe and firearms. Parrying is beneficial.

Moon Presence (Ending Specific)

The final boss, accessed after obtaining three Umbilical Cords and refusing Gehrman's offer. The Moon Presence uses tails, claws, and dark orbs.
