Augur has an added bonus of potentially opening her for a visceral attack, and the same goes for users of guns as well. If you’re an arcane user, you can use the Augur of Ebrietas, if you have it, or the Executioner Gauntlets to stagger her effectively to buy yourself a bit of a breather. Maria’s first phase is a lot of staggered attacks, and the timing can throw one off. This is easily avoided, but it can deal a lot of damage, so be mindful of the possibility that it can happen. She doesn’t chase you down like other bosses, but she may make use of a wide, sweeping attack to your left to help close the distance. The fight with Lady Maria admittedly starts off slowly. She’s even got similar phases, and between 100, 50 and 25%, she’ll throw an onslaught of attacks your way, all while being accompanied by one of the best songs in the entire game, and what’s honestly one of the most fun fights in the entire game as well. For those who’ve beaten the game, the final boss (not the final final boss, the one before) fights very similarly, and if you’ve fought them, you’ll be right at home dealing with Maria’s movesets. She’s almost as difficult as Ludwig, but the fact that she is prone to being parried is a huge relief. Visceral attacks are you best friend, equip runes that synergize with them, such as Clawmark.īuilding upon the research hall, we heard many of the enemies mutter about “Lady Maria”, and the Astral Clocktower is home to this tough as nails boss.Don’t be ashamed if you had to summon.Maria can be parried and some of her attacks have good chances to parry.If you’re just jumping in now you can check out our guides to defeating Ludwig the Accursed and The Living Failures, the DLC’s first two bosses before attempting Lady Maria.

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is even more brutal as the DLC pits you against five new bosses, each more monstrous than the last. All kidding aside, we know that Bloodborne is not for the meek. If you’re controller is still in tact, perhaps you’re not as strong as you think you are. You could also consider it a game worthy of testing your strength as you grip harder and harder on to your controller with every unmerciful death. If you’re looking for a game to test your patience you obviously need not look much further than Bloodborne.
