Optimal Boss Order Strategies

Multiple approaches exist, as completing every Bloodborne boss isn't mandatory for game completion, although doing so yields substantial rewards. We strongly advise tackling as many bosses as possible. Therefore, we present both non-optional and complete boss order lists, followed by a more detailed breakdown.

The game features 17 regular bosses and 5 DLC bosses from The Old Hunters. Chalice Dungeon bosses are excluded. The DLC is accessible after defeating Vicar Amelia, but most players recommend tackling it closer to the game's end. The DLC's placement relative to Mergo's Wet Nurse can influence dialogue.

Father Gascoigne, Vicar Amelia, Shadow of Yharnam, Rom, the Vacuous Spider, The One Reborn, Micolash, Host of the Nightmare, Mergo’s Wet Nurse, Gehrman, the First Hunter, Moon Presence (Ending Specific)

Cleric Beast (Optional)

This early boss introduces aggressive combat. Target its hind legs to trip it, then focus on its head.

Father Gascoigne

Mastering parries is crucial against this fast-moving hunter who frequently uses his gun.

Blood-Starved Beast (Optional)

Keep your distance and utilize fire/explosive weapons to counter its high health and damage output.

Vicar Amelia

Exploit her self-healing animation for significant damage.

The Witch of Hemwick (Optional)

Prioritize eliminating her henchmen before focusing on her, utilizing firearms when she's visible.

Shadow of Yharnam

Dodge its attacks, target its head with firearms, and slash its legs to create attack openings.

Rom, the Vacuous Spider

Prioritize eliminating summoned spiders before attacking Rom, being mindful of its poisonous and physical attacks. Defeating Rom alters the game world, so plan accordingly.

Darkbeast Paarl (Optional)

This hulking beast is best tackled after Rom.

The One Reborn

Maintain distance, dodge its attacks, and capitalize on ground-based attack opportunities. Eliminate summoned enemies first.

Martyr Logarius (Optional)

Mastering parries is key to effectively countering his Arcane damage.

Amygdala (Optional)

This large, tentacled boss requires careful dodging and strategic attacks.

Celestial Emissary (Optional)

Roll towards its legs to evade attacks and retaliate. Be wary of its grab attack.

Micolash, Host of the Nightmare

Chase Micolash, manage his fog and summoned enemies, and exploit openings for damage. Poison knives are a viable strategy.

The Old Hunters Bosses

The Old Hunters bosses follow a linear progression: Ludwig, Laurence (optional), Living Failures, Lady Maria, and Orphan of Kos. Prepare for challenging encounters.

Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos (Optional)

Evade her tentacle and magical attacks, particularly her head slam.

Mergo’s Wet Nurse

Dodge her tentacle and water attacks, and manage the fog obscuring vision.

Gehrman, the First Hunter

This penultimate boss utilizes a scythe and firearms. Parrying is highly effective.

Moon Presence (Ending Specific)

The true final boss, requiring three Umbilical Cords before facing Gehrman and refusing his offer. Evade its tail, claw, and dark orb attacks.
