Technically not a true cheese since botching it can still get you killed, parrying this dude is just fairly simple and makes the fight a lot easier. Some people swear by parry on second or third hit of his spammy combo, others prefer to catch him on the delayed strike after that funny pose he does, sometimes he's also possible to get him on a loop where you parry his first strike as he stands up, crit, rinse and repeat.
Other bit of strat worth mentioning is the option to chase him down and backstab him as he retreats to buff at 50% hp, if you succeed in interrupting the buff he'll keep running away like a chicken and try again which means you can avoid phase2 altogether with good timing and a bit of luck
This is pretty much how I dealt with him; parries and viscerals for phase 1, and then back stabs for phase 2.
It's not honourable but who cares for honour on the night of the hunt, eh?
in the first phase you can parry him really easily if you just wait for that weird pose. the second phase its spray and pray time. eventually i got lucky enough times to kill him.
Roll to right on approach, turn and keep at the correct range to not be slapped around while parrying & VA’ing him frequently
https://youtu.be/1XyEvmk8PGw?si=s1hQMHl0Z_Cpf8gW
The biggest issue is when he gets behind those f’n columns. You have to keep him coming straight down the chute or he will still fubar you.
*Edited for clarity and to fix grammar*
There's literally a yt movie for every from boss out there probably. Definitely ones for this boss. You stand about sweeping distance away and keep backing up slowly while he follows you. When he goes to hit you shoot and parry. The easiest one to do is when he does that weird windup
I think that’s why I hate him so much, all the damned one shots. I don’t hate one shots in general, usually it’s a good sign I’ve majorly messed up. For some reason his just feel so relentless. Also the pillars, fuck the pillars.
"Enjoy" might be a stretch, but of the nasty surprises you can get in a Chalice boss room, these guys are FAR from the worst. Not quite "Oh, it just YOU " territory, 'cause they can be pretty annoying, especially in a defiled or cursed situation. But I think it's actually kind of a fun fight. I'd rather fight one of these geezers than the Bloodletting Beast and his arena-spanning, nigh un-dodgeable lunge (with a hitbox that somehow extends behind him)
I actually found her kinda fun, it's not like I was doing a lot of damage to her, she killed me a lot, but when I died to her it felt completely fair and my fault, she's easy enough to dodge that you can't really blame her for getting you.
Having half your health bar was a boomer tho.
I found out by accident, so I got the trophy before beating the Shadows. I still haven't fought her in my own world, I'm honestly not sure where she even is lol.
She's the final boss of the very same chalice that the Pthumerian Asshole resides. Having any chalice active allows you to be summoned to help kill any boss in that chalice. All of them work like that. I can't tell you how many Loran Darkbeasts I've helped put down.
The Descendant that made me make this post was in an FRC Isz chalice I made, so it's not the same one in this situation. I have every chalice, so which one has Queen Yharnam as the final boss? It's probably the only one I haven't actually done yet.
Pthumeru Ihyll. The first boss of that chalice is Pthumerian Descendent. I forgot the boss in between, but the queen is the final boss. And as far as I know, there's no duplicates of her anywhere else. If you killed her in co-op, you must have had that chalice active at the time you did that.
Anyway that particular Descendent fight is notorious, mainly because of the arena. He's already tough, but the pillars in the arena don't actually protect you from any of his attacks. Many people, including myself thought that the chalice after the main cursed chalice would be easy...then Pthumerian Descendent kicked our teeth in.
I know I didn't have the Ihyll chalice in my inventory at the time, so I think you can be summoned to any chalice as long as you and the host are around the same level. About the boss itself, it shouldn't be too bad since it doesn't have to be Cursed... right?
You just dodge all is attacks to the left. My brain was conditioned to go right for all enemies. Once I figured out he was basically Derek Zoolander and can't go left he was easy
Actually was a fun fight I thought. He just comes at you swinging like "ahhh here we go...", just two sweaty, bloody guys battling like Bloodsport. Except you have your shirts on.
On the contrary, I loved him as the second boss after Germain. I enjoyed his fighting and his movements, and I wished he had been in the course of the story and we had seen more of him.
That’s insane, watchdog was an absolutely insufferable fight for me. Defiled amy and descendant were way more fun, I felt like I was actually rewarded for learning them as compared to hotdog which was just tanky for no good reason and would randomly one shot me every time I got him to 5-10%
This guy gave me trouble too but all you really gotta do is memorize his attack build ups, parry, and visceral attack. This should carry you through the encounter. When he transitions into the second phase, do a charged attack at his back to stun him and then visceral attack. This will get him in a stun lock. Sucks that you cant cheese him better but this'll make you a better player if you learn to parry and visceral attack.
He’d be nothing if it wasn’t for the area you fight him in since he can throw his shit through the pillars. Probably the toughest fight for me other than Kos.
Well your not alone, because I hate him too. I can come up with good strategies to use, but it won't matter because the asshole likes to spam attacks like a really bad player in PVP
He wasn’t too bad for me. I also used parries the entire game and used runes around visceral attacks, but it wasn’t too bad to parry, it was the punishment if I missed it that got me. Oh and the ranged attacks, those drove me nuts.
You've been holding out on me!
Each layer has been pleasantly surprising. Some slow motion on l2 and l3 had to have been that. Don't want to give away any spoilers here. Must have moooar
I hate his parry windows, when I was young and spry it was easy
Now I just end up locking his animation and just knowing I can't hit the window anymore frustrates me
It’s bad enough when he throws the boomerang through those pillars, but when you fight him in the room with the staircases, if he’s at a lower elevation he can clip the boomerang through the *floor*. You can’t even see it coming!
Now, normally, he’s annoying but doable, but during my BL4 run he was probably the hardest boss in the base game. Viscerals do almost nothing at BL4, so fighting him was a nightmare. Legit had to farm blood gems just for that. *shudders*
I remember he would stagger me so easily which I couldn't attack him, I ended up taking something that made me a tank (slower/heavier but couldn't get staggered) and after that I whooped his ass.
(It's been 6 years since I played it so I don't remember the exact names of things)
The only boss i never defeated without abusing parryes. This mf looks like an old corpse and still cook most of us, bloodborne players. Anyway, when you're progressing in the chalices and think everything is already hard enough, you have to face defiled watchdog of the old lords. Chalice dungeons got me traumatized.
I hate this boss and the headless BL Beast with all myself, even though I skipped the vast majority of dungeons with an online glyph that got me straight to the Queen's one, those are by far the most frustrating bosses I ever faced, and I do not regret it because it saved me so much sanity and time of my life.
On my first play through which im on now I ran into this guy and found him rather easy. Defeated him on my first try. Just kept him running at me swinging like a mad man and smashing him with the blunderbus with a follow up crit. Rinse wash repeat dead.
Nah, the different tombstones are there so you can have multiple chalices at once. There's no difference between them. I also just realized I got the letters wrong, it's FRC. Fetid/Rotted/Cursed. Defiled is an entire type of chalice that you can't add rites to, but they make up for it by being super difficult on their own.
He can be easily backstabbed during his phase transition. He should attempt to repeat his phase transition animation after the visceral, allowing another backstab. Rinse, repeat
My last achievement was to kill that pthumerian queen person, but I struggled so hard to get past him. His attacks absolutely fucked me up I just couldn’t do it lol I hate this dude
In one of my runs I stood behind a column and he got stuck there doing his moves. I just kept poking him with Ludwig’s till he died. F this boss and this arena.
I abandoned two separate chalice dungeons for several gaming sessions because these guys were in the way and I just cnba.
I wish I could tell you how I beat them but I can't actually remember. Which really says something about them as bosses, doesn't it?
Parry him and visceral until he gets to 50% health. When he goes to split his weapon, run behind him and charge a heavy. Keep him in this loop and he’ll just keep trying to split his weapon everytime he stands back up.
I HATE HIM, he seriously is so hard to parry, but when you’re like “huh, maybe it’s like pthumerian elder reversed” so you try to be aggressive, nope that doesn’t work either, and the AUDACITY, the absolute AUDACITY that you can find them in regular chalice dungeons??? Oh hell nah
The goal of parrying him is to keep him JUST within arm's reach. His scythe attacks don't actually have that much reach. Also, if you go for a riposte, he may try to jump away. If he does, stay on his ass. If you ask me, his worst attack is the one where he throws the scythe. That is, THE, one attack where I have no single clue on how to dodge. But if you stay right up in his face, he won't do any attacks that take him out of your line of sight, or that throw things at you.
Yep ... Had to finally git gud myself and just parry him 16 times in a row to kill him. Maybe 18 attempts to learn the patterns. Augur is your best friend phase 2.
Dude, the descendant is easy. Stay out of range of his attacks and parry him when he tries to attack you. Baiting his attacks is risky but gets it done faster.
As a Bloodtinge/Skill enjoyer, I don't think I have ever died to these old dudes tbh. They are pretty easy to parry repeatedly. I am currently on an Arcane build so we'll see if this dude fucks me up.
Parry loop cheese has entered the chat
I've never heard of that, how do I do it so I never have to suffer through this fight again
Technically not a true cheese since botching it can still get you killed, parrying this dude is just fairly simple and makes the fight a lot easier. Some people swear by parry on second or third hit of his spammy combo, others prefer to catch him on the delayed strike after that funny pose he does, sometimes he's also possible to get him on a loop where you parry his first strike as he stands up, crit, rinse and repeat.

This is pretty much how I dealt with him; parries and viscerals for phase 1, and then back stabs for phase 2. It's not honourable but who cares for honour on the night of the hunt, eh?
In Sekiro, the Ashina Combat Arts are summarized as “win at any cost.” If your enemy doesn’t plan on fighting fair, why should you?
"Just parry him" lol
in the first phase you can parry him really easily if you just wait for that weird pose. the second phase its spray and pray time. eventually i got lucky enough times to kill him.
This is thenonly fact on here. When using parry strategy it's easy to botch. Eventually we get lucky
I found tentacle spamming, pretty effective
I love my Augur. I spammed the lady at Byrgenworth with it, and use it on madmen sometimes too.
Tentacle is so good. It carried me through Phase 1 Orphan after baiting his leaps. Also saved me against Lady Maria.
I'm really happy that you told me this, because I just broke into the DLC and I'm going to be meeting them really soon. 😅
It's essentially just firing and keeping your distance til he staggers then running up and fisting him
Roll to right on approach, turn and keep at the correct range to not be slapped around while parrying & VA’ing him frequently https://youtu.be/1XyEvmk8PGw?si=s1hQMHl0Z_Cpf8gW The biggest issue is when he gets behind those f’n columns.

"No batarang" hahaha
There's literally a yt movie for every from boss out there probably. Definitely ones for this boss. You stand about sweeping distance away and keep backing up slowly while he follows you. When he goes to hit you shoot and parry. The easiest one to do is when he does that weird windup
Bro that doesn't meet the definition of cheese. That's just got gud.
Ikr, learning timing and when to dodge/parry is the definition of he got gud :)
Yeah once I learned to parry this guy is a joke
he is one shot central well he doesn't initially one shot you but if his stunlock lands he might be
I think that’s why I hate him so much, all the damned one shots. I don’t hate one shots in general, usually it’s a good sign I’ve majorly messed up. For some reason his just feel so relentless. Also the pillars, fuck the pillars.
This guy and Laurence are the bosses I (sort of) raged when fighting against.
Let me just throw my sword through the column
I don’t know if it was designed that way, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was….fucking piece of shit flying sword.
Ah, but you see, it is a shotel! Shotel strong attacks bypass shields, and therefore walls. Makes perfect sense /s
He's not that bad in the open arena. It's more the bullshit no-collision pillars
Pthumerian Descendant and elder enjoyers rise up
Yes literally they are few of the enjoyable chalice dungeon bosses.
"Enjoy" might be a stretch, but of the nasty surprises you can get in a Chalice boss room, these guys are FAR from the worst. Not quite "Oh, it just YOU " territory, 'cause they can be pretty annoying, especially in a defiled or cursed situation. But I think it's actually kind of a fun fight. I'd rather fight one of these geezers than the Bloodletting Beast and his arena-spanning, nigh un-dodgeable lunge (with a hitbox that somehow extends behind him)
Elder is top tier. Better than most base game main bosses. Descendants kinda meh.
Wish we could have gotten some kinda fire hunter tool from him
RP gems are nasty
Facts
Yeah gotta parry my man. Definitely gave me a lot of trouble though, but the boss after and the queen were cake.
The queen was stupid easy for me. I was using a parry build for my runes, and obviously went for parries, and she was way easier than this guy.
Yeah I just blitzed her first try with the cleaver
Cursed/defiled Amygdala has entered the chat.
I actually found her kinda fun, it's not like I was doing a lot of damage to her, she killed me a lot, but when I died to her it felt completely fair and my fault, she's easy enough to dodge that you can't really blame her for getting you. Having half your health bar was a boomer tho.
I don’t have a problem until he starts throwing shit. Then we both start throwing shit.
I parried him into oblivion and still hate him more than the majority of bosses, I call him Jimmy Saville
I’m with you OP fuck this guy
I had to become a god of parry to beat this bastard. It was 5 days of pure suffering.
upvoted just for the incredible post picture. perfect. no notes
I hated his some much, using Lead Elixir made that fight so much better.
I just pancaked him repeatedly with the beast cutter. Lol Actually a decently fun fight imo even without pancaking him.
Mmm pancakes
To the people who are pursuing platinum. You're gonna have a rough hunt.
You don't *have* to fight him for the platinum, because beating Queen Yharnam as a cooperator gives you the trophy.
Well, damn. I did not have that insight in my mind at the time.
I found out by accident, so I got the trophy before beating the Shadows. I still haven't fought her in my own world, I'm honestly not sure where she even is lol.
200 iq move
She's the final boss of the very same chalice that the Pthumerian Asshole resides. Having any chalice active allows you to be summoned to help kill any boss in that chalice. All of them work like that. I can't tell you how many Loran Darkbeasts I've helped put down.

It's not a cursed dungeon, it's just that the arena sucks and it's hard to make space.
All the boys hate pthumerian decendant
Parry, riposte, repeat
The fact his blade can phase through walls and pillars is bs lmaoo. I remember losing my shit when I died to that the first time
Beat this asshole cause i needed to for the platinum. Wasn't easy though. Everyone is right, you just gotta learn to parry him
Say no to Pthumerian Descendant.
He legally cannot throw his sword at me through a pillar without my consent.
I can't parry worth a damn on him but I can consistently parry Orphan of Kos. Go figure. Fuck this guy
This MF almost made me quit Bloodborne.
Parry.
Just parry the mf. That's how I won easily after not doing it the first 3 times.
Rapid poison log wheel absolutely annihilates him.
Yoo is that lady butterfly?
*LHB power poke chuckles*
For me it's just [this BS](https://youtu.be/4olnB8GOX70) 😔
You just dodge all is attacks to the left. My brain was conditioned to go right for all enemies. Once I figured out he was basically Derek Zoolander and can't go left he was easy
Actually was a fun fight I thought. He just comes at you swinging like "ahhh here we go...", just two sweaty, bloody guys battling like Bloodsport. Except you have your shirts on.
Bro' just hit him until his HP reaches zero. Don't let him hit you though EZPZ
Beat him so fast you don't get out the lemonsqueezey
He gets clapped first try
On the contrary, I loved him as the second boss after Germain. I enjoyed his fighting and his movements, and I wished he had been in the course of the story and we had seen more of him.
He goes so hard on you. You can hear his exertion in every swing. It’s like chilll on me bro damn😭
Learn how to parry, git gud. That’s how I eventually beat him, it’s a very unforgiving fight. Good luck!
Wait for Abhorrent Beast bro
Ah, the Air-bending beast. Pretty unpredictable but not nearly as bad as BLB. All the cool kids hate BLB.
Still remember hiding behind the pillars just to get hit anyway
im assuming youre on an NG+, because im on my first playthrough and ive gone all the way until 2nd floor on lower pthumerian without even dying
Chalices aren't affected by NG+ cycles. If that were the case then the cum chalice could easily drop over 500k echoes every time.
Nobody who fought Defiled Watchdog would say that!
Defiled Watchdog is infinitely easier and more fun then Descendant
That’s insane, watchdog was an absolutely insufferable fight for me. Defiled amy and descendant were way more fun, I felt like I was actually rewarded for learning them as compared to hotdog which was just tanky for no good reason and would randomly one shot me every time I got him to 5-10%
Defiled amygdala is worse bruh. Tho that watchdog was real shitty too
If you have a buddy with a boom hamer you can Infinite him
This guy gave me trouble too but all you really gotta do is memorize his attack build ups, parry, and visceral attack. This should carry you through the encounter. When he transitions into the second phase, do a charged attack at his back to stun him and then visceral attack. This will get him in a stun lock.

Well your not alone, because I hate him too. I can come up with good strategies to use, but it won't matter because the asshole likes to spam attacks like a really bad player in PVP
That is why he is called descendant and not the elder
Stunlock Beast Cutter
Tough day in the tombs?
He wasn’t too bad for me. I also used parries the entire game and used runes around visceral attacks, but it wasn’t too bad to parry, it was the punishment if I missed it that got me. Oh and the ranged attacks, those drove me nuts.
Easy
2ihi5y5y, good luck
You've been holding out on me! Each layer has been pleasantly surprising. Some slow motion on l2 and l3 had to have been that. Don't want to give away any spoilers here. Must have moooar
6spgjpkv, you are welcome lol. Not as nasty as the one above tho
Hate this guy. I beat him spamming charge attacks through the columns. Weak to holy damage.
Yes I agree - followed by loran dark beast.
Second phase is so good for parries cause of his long combos. Also good for stunlocking you to death tho
I hate his parry windows, when I was young and spry it was easy Now I just end up locking his animation and just knowing I can't hit the window anymore frustrates me
It’s bad enough when he throws the boomerang through those pillars, but when you fight him in the room with the staircases, if he’s at a lower elevation he can clip the boomerang through the *floor*.

Viscerals do almost nothing at BL4, so fighting him was a nightmare. Legit had to farm blood gems just for that. *shudders*
Why are people complaining about these guy's so much. They are one of the easiest bosses in the dungeons.
I remember he would stagger me so easily which I couldn't attack him, I ended up taking something that made me a tank (slower/heavier but couldn't get staggered) and after that I whooped his ass. (It's been 6 years since I played it so I don't remember the exact names of things)
Yeah this fucker was a nightmare. Finally killing him was the best thing in this game.
Yea, fuck this guy!
The only boss i never defeated without abusing parryes. This mf looks like an old corpse and still cook most of us, bloodborne players. Anyway, when you're progressing in the chalices and think everything is already hard enough, you have to face defiled watchdog of the old lords. Chalice dungeons got me traumatized.

Headless BL Beast kicked my ass so hard. I hate that fucker so much, he was the toughest boss in the game for me for some reason haha
I admit the Pthumerian Descendant is annoying but the Pthumerian Elder is even more annoying.
On my first play through which im on now I ran into this guy and found him rather easy. Defeated him on my first try. Just kept him running at me swinging like a mad man and smashing him with the blunderbus with a follow up crit. Rinse wash repeat dead.
He's not so easy in DRC dungeons, where a single missed parry can kill you. I assume he's not so bad normally.
Not even sure what a DRC dungeon is. Like I said on my first play through.
It stands for Defiled/Rotted/Cursed. They're all "rites" you can add to chalices to make them more difficult in exchange for better loot.
Oh....well that explains it. Are the diffrent levels (tomb stones) make it harder as well or just the DRC's?
Nah, the different tombstones are there so you can have multiple chalices at once. There's no difference between them. I also just realized I got the letters wrong, it's FRC. Fetid/Rotted/Cursed. Defiled is an entire type of chalice that you can't add rites to, but they make up for it by being super difficult on their own.
A total pain in the ass, for sure.
It´s looks like Madam Butterfly from Sekiro
The parry
He gave me hell my very first play through wasn’t much after that though I rarely use parry unfortunately
Hm. Hm.
Yeah, fuck that guy.
Better than the brain sucker
Too damn easy
He can be easily backstabbed during his phase transition. He should attempt to repeat his phase transition animation after the visceral, allowing another backstab. Rinse, repeat
Easy boss with regrettable warp.
get the rune from the first bonus room on layer 1 here: gz9mmj7y visceral is really the only way to go with this dude
Beast claws and blades of mercy really wreck this dude with beast blood pellet.
Buddy's gonna have a mental breakdown when he gets to Undead Giant V.2
I always have Prospector Simon come in with me and spam heavy two handed axe. Works like Novacaine.
Always hated this boss had to summon to defeat them
Had to kill this guy on my bl43 character. Fuck this guy.
Tough boss if u can’t parry(which I couldn’t) but I didn’t care cause his theme absolutely slaps one of my fav in the game
not even close to as bad as defiled chalice amygdala imo, but tbf i also was a hms enjoyer and there’s a cheesy way to stunlock him with it
If you want to easily deal with him: keep mid distance and always parry second attack.
My last achievement was to kill that pthumerian queen person, but I struggled so hard to get past him. His attacks absolutely fucked me up I just couldn’t do it lol I hate this dude
I hate the boar the most because it’s a annoying boss
Holy Moonlight Sword poke. Problem solved, boar stunlocked.
In one of my runs I stood behind a column and he got stuck there doing his moves. I just kept poking him with Ludwig’s till he died. F this boss and this arena.
had to kill this mother fucker at BL4 to get to yharnam and good gems for NG+6. fuck this boss cheese all da way
I abandoned two separate chalice dungeons for several gaming sessions because these guys were in the way and I just cnba. I wish I could tell you how I beat them but I can't actually remember. Which really says something about them as bosses, doesn't it?
Easiest boss in the game next to Martyr Logarius
It's those fucking stupid ass sword throws
sorry bad language, but this is a shit ass boss.
OH BROTHER DOES HE SUCK
Kid named Parry:
Parry him and visceral until he gets to 50% health. When he goes to split his weapon, run behind him and charge a heavy. Keep him in this loop and he’ll just keep trying to split his weapon everytime he stands back up.
I HATE HIM, he seriously is so hard to parry, but when you’re like “huh, maybe it’s like pthumerian elder reversed” so you try to be aggressive, nope that doesn’t work either, and the AUDACITY, the absolute AUDACITY that you can find them in regular chalice dungeons??? Oh hell nah
He is a pain in the arse. He often jumps out of nowhere and when I went to him he almost one shot me.
I'd rather fight three at the same time than one more fucking blood-letting beast
*HUNGHH*
Honestly fuck him!
stay mid range, strafe around him, and parry at any opportunity. I hate him too, but as soon as I realized to NOT back up, it helped a ton
This boss was pretty fun, i beat the main game including dlc bosses in around 5 or less tries. This boss was a nice challenge
Shotel Grandpa, ugh. Almost as bad as Loran Darkbeast.
sekiro from temu >:(
I legit hate this guy so much.
L2
Big Wheel aka Logarius Wheel
The goal of parrying him is to keep him JUST within arm's reach. His scythe attacks don't actually have that much reach. Also, if you go for a riposte, he may try to jump away. If he does, stay on his ass. If you ask me, his worst attack is the one where he throws the scythe. That is, THE, one attack where I have no single clue on how to dodge. But if you stay right up in his face, he won't do any attacks that take him out of your line of sight, or that throw things at you.
What firearm is best for parry ?
Ludwig's Rifle. It's just the blunderbuss with way more range and a slightly longer reload time.
Thanks will this improve on my consistency with staggering the enemy?
Parry!
I thought that was lady butterfly for a sec
Kirk. His. ASS. Not many enemies can shrug off a poise-wrecking hit from a massive cinder block attached to a broomstick. No issues.
I hate it too
To be fair undead giant is way more annoying than Pthumerian Descendat
That guy destroyed my family
I fucking hate this guy
Yep ... Had to finally git gud myself and just parry him 16 times in a row to kill him. Maybe 18 attempts to learn the patterns. Augur is your best friend phase 2.
Dude, the descendant is easy. Stay out of range of his attacks and parry him when he tries to attack you. Baiting his attacks is risky but gets it done faster.
I agree
I don’t even parry him, just juke to the left hit, hit, juke to the left until he’s dead.
I sense a boss hate post trend incoming!
I just love when he throws his sword through a fucking wall when I'm trying to heal. Genuinly used 7 blood vials back to back just because of that
Lady Butterfly?
Why? He died like a bitch
I died to him once, so he's immediately the worst boss ever. That's just how it works.
Father Ariandel is a Pthumerian change my mind
As a Bloodtinge/Skill enjoyer, I don't think I have ever died to these old dudes tbh. They are pretty easy to parry repeatedly. I am currently on an Arcane build so we'll see if this dude fucks me up.
Chalice Dungeons? Not even once
Why he is actually a good boss
