How to defeat Eldest of The Black Rabbit Brotherhood in Lies of P
The Lies of P Black Rabbit Brotherhood boss fight is unique as it pits you against not only the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, who is the main boss, but also the other three members of the gang at the same time.
This can get tricky, as long-time Soulslike fans know that whenever multiple bosses appear in a boss fight, things can get chaotic quickly. Here are all the strategies and tips that will get you through this tough boss fight easily:
- An important thing to remember is that the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood is the actual main boss of this fight and the one that you need to defeat. The other members are there to make it tougher by defending him as much as they can.
- There are two ways to approach this fight. You can either avoid the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood attacks and focus on the other members first, wipe them out, and then focus on the Eldest. The other way is to focus all your attacks on the Eldest while trying to avoid and dodge attacks from the other members.
- Using a Specter in this fight can be very useful as it will pull the aggro from the other members while you focus on the Eldest without any distractions. Remember that the Eldest is the one with the large blade and is also the largest in size among all the enemies.
- The Eldest does a lot of sweeping long-range melee attacks. You are going to have to be wary of this and keep your distance if you are fighting other gang members. His attacks are commonly back-to-back combos as well, so don’t put your guard down after avoiding one or two attacks from him.
- When you are at a great distance from the Eldest, he will do a charge attack. Be on the lookout for this and dodge to the side to avoid it. He will be vulnerable after this attack for a few moments, so use this opportunity to get good hits on him. However, still be careful of his 360-swing attack that he will most likely use after his little rest from the charging attack.
- Keep moving around the arena as much as you can. Stagnating in one part of the arena will result in you being cornered by the other members. You will have to use the full extent of the arena and keep rotating around various positions so as to not get surrounded by the Lies of P Black Rabbit Brotherhood boss.
- Once in a while, he will also do a jump attack, while this can be obvious to spot you can easily get surprised by it if you are not paying attention to the Eldest and instead paying attention to one of the other Black Rabbit Brotherhood bosses. To dodge this jump attack you will need to quickly move away from his landing area which will be visible once he jumps.
- His uppercut swing attack can be blocked and even perfectly so. Remember this and use it to your advantage. You will be able to spot him preparing for this attack with his cleaver to swing from the bottom to the top. If not blocked, make sure to avoid this attack as much as possible because it can knock you over.
- Try staggering the Elder as this will help you a lot by letting you have an opportunity at a charge attack. He can be staggered when his health bar is highlighted in white. Once you manage to get his health down to very low amounts, focus all your attacks on the Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood as defeating him defeats all the other members as well.
