Merciless Watcher

Merciless Watcher is an enemy in Bloodborne found in Chalice Dungeons. It may also be encountered as a boss in Chalice Dungeons.

Strategy

• Watchers are very weak to Arcane dmg (the boss variant is not)
• The Watcher with a pistol cannot hit you if you stand right in front of him.

Merciless Watcher Information

This enemy has five variations.

Watcher Chieftain: Better range than the Cleaver version and more likely to combo wildly.

Cleaver + Mask: More predictable than the chieftain but much harder to stun while he is attacking. He also has a combo where he pokes you with his cleaver but it does very little damage and won't stunlock you for long. It seems he takes normal damage from arcane.

Pistol + Lantern: His pistol functions like a shotgun, it covers a wide arc but has limited range. The easiest way to beat him is simply slice and dice him from up close as he will always miss if you stand in front of him. When in front of him he will counterattack by swinging his lantern but it does very little damage that can be easily healed with rally potential.

Red Hot Poker: Probably the least dangerous one, his attacks are very predictable and do little damage.

Naked With Spiked Club: Very different from the other watchers and very dangerous. He moves primarily by rolling and he can perform a body slam from roll that is highly damaging. A buffed roller can easily one-shot players on depth 5 labyrinths (tested with curse)
