i've done shadows of yharnham by myself 3 times and gotten the last one to a single hit each time. i think i'm making the skeleton lords mistake, and triggering the final form of two of them at the same time, which is too much to deal with, and i should make a plan and stick to it to finish each on sequentially.

Are you using the Tontrius? I killed the spellcaster guy first and whittled the other two down to very low health. They never entered the summoning phase with me, strangely.

I think the phased on them may be time based? I've had it so two of the guys enter the phase even though one is at full health

no, i haven't upgraded that at all. i'm using the kirkhammer, and had the most luck with the longsword mode covered in bolt paper

If your having trouble I would use that. Bolt paper should be good too though.

my first two times were with the sledge mode, and i think it was just way too slow to deal with the gank squad nature of the fight. i'm giving it a break because i was getting sort of salty on my last attempt. it should go a lot easier now.

His blizzaga attack can't go through pillars, so hide behind them when he uses it. I found him to be a lot easier the second time around (for reference, I struggled like hell with him the first time).

heres my cool strat that i might record if i start a new run to kill ebrietas: kill the katana guy first, then the mage guy, then if you kill the candle guy last he dodges right every time you hit him, so u can just run in a circle mashing r1 until he dies and he cant do anything.

i think its total health of all 3 bosses based... so its actually a bad idea to try and damage them evenly.

Micolash just ran around the whole time for me as well, I used +7 Cannon intially then Repeating Pistol + Saw Cleaver. The only time I used Blood vials is when I needed more bullets.

I still don't know what I did. I stayed relatively close to them the entire fight and just went ham with the Tontrius, buffing and mashing R1.

That moment when you've been playing for dozens of hours and then discover that weapons have different attacks when sprinting/backstepping if you use R2 instead of R1

blood borne seems pretty easy to plat? I think you only have to do like six chalice dungeons if you have good luck (or figure out a guide or something)

its not easy to plat because one of the required chalice dungeons is the defiled chalice which halves your HP and has extremely difficult bosses

Nice, congrats. I still have to finish the chalice stuff but I have been playing Mario games a lot instead and will probably circle back and get the plat a few months from now.

here i uploaded a video of me beating them on the character i used to beat ebrietas (mostly cos i wanted to try uploading a video lol):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_OIJiWXBI

i can kill them without using a vial so this is really messy but whatever. also, i accidentally started murking the candle guy before the mage before i remembered half way through killing him that i wanted to show off what its like killing him last instead of second. anyway, you can see at the end how the candle guy dodges to your right every time you hit him... theres a rhythm to making him do it but its easy enough.

i went back for my fourth try, and got them fairly easily, but ty for the video. switching to the longsword mode of the kh and using bolt paper really did the trick.

i just got to rom and got it down to about half health before it killed me. i only had four vials left though, because i'd taken down the rear end in a top hat hunter with the cane sword previously, and i think i could've maybe even done it if i'd had full vials. i feel like the trick is to avoid the baby spiders.

i also went back to ioesfska's clinic, and holy poo poo she's a hard fight... lol, i also didn't realize until just now you could choose to send people to her instead :pwn:

the trick to rom is to trigger the same glitch I came across where when I jumped down all of the baby spiders instantly spawned and didn't use any attacks so I cleared all of them out before initiating the fight. this was on my second playthrough and after the patch that fixed the memory overflow bug so idk what happened there but it was cool.
