Drops
Phases
The Abhorrent Beast has 3 phases that are apparent when he stops and roars:
- Phase I - 100% - Normal Moveset
- Phase II - <75% - His normal moveset is modified, adding follow-ups to attacks.
- Phase III - <50% - Adds new moves to his moveset
Combat Information
- The Abhorrent Beast has a wide variety of attacks covering his sides and his front, so there are few safe zones and the fight requires much dodging and distance.
- Almost all of his attacks have the same timing, so take advantage of that.
- His side is always open after each of his attacks allowing for a counter strike. This can be key to winning the fight - dodge to the side of his attacks and attack his flank. Rinse and repeat.
- The Abhorrent Beast will charge you upon using a heal or item. Wait until he is in a long animation before healing or using items to buy time to dodge the incoming attack.
- Don't bother trying to riposte/parry as there's no easy way to visceral attack him, you may want to try the cannon but only when he's at 30% health.
- Continuously walk back from him and that will trigger a 3 hit combo, as soon as the third hit comes in hit him with a leap attack or Long Axe R2, then instantly dodge back.
- Also, if using an axe (or a similar weapon) you can trigger his 3 hit combo that will let you hit him 3-4 times before you can dodge, to do this you can dodge to his side and attack-dodge, normally after repeating this twice he will use his combo or his ground attack, leaving him always open for some damage.
- If you have a quick weapon then you will want to go on the offensive most of the time, go in a clock wise formation, or if he's about to attack dodge towards his right side (your left) and hit him once or twice on his back and you either need to A. dodge backwards as he'll do a backhand swing or B. do it all again if he decides to run back.
- Don't even try to roll around this guy. If you do try to sneak in a hit between his attacks, there's a better chance of him killing you with a follow up attack than you dealing damage and being able to escape unscathed. Your best bet is to use whatever projectile attacks you have at your disposal while kiting him, clockwise. Molotov Cocktails work well, arcane or a good gun are even better. (This advice is only applicable for arcane/bloodtinge builds - rolling and striking works well for melee and with the right timing you'll receive no damage.)
- On the third stage, the beast uses a 4 part combo. Bait out the first 2 swipes and then get in behind him while he does the upward swipe. Strike him in the back and dodge away. This prevents him from finishing the combo with the AoE ground slam. Repeat until dead. (Only possible if he's been glitched by leaving the game running for long periods of time).
- The easiest and cheesiest strategy is to use Poison Knife. Two knives will poison him, just throw both after a long attack (or one inbetween two quick attacks), and strafe around till it wears off, then throw another pair. Repeat until death. Boring, but 100% fool proof.
- For an extra edge while poisoning in the Lower Loran Boss room, which is rather small, equip the Embrace Ruin and the Beast Claw. Your dodges will be a little faster and travel a little further. This is invaluable if he knocks you down, especially against a wall.
- While Slow Poison is effective, it can barely take away 10% of its health with 3 knives in Ailing Loran Chalice. For a faster kill, use Poison Knife to keep poison on the boss while following the dodging strategies. This reduces the boss difficulty significantly.
- Its head and arms can be severed if enough damage are dealt on one of these parts. Defense will be lowered on these parts until it heals up. Breaking his head also open up for a visceral attack

Strategies
Videos
(( Please respect these video posting guidelines))
Strategy 1
- Phase I:
- After each of his attacks, dodge to upper left, attack once, retreat. (Works on most attacks)
- Rinse and repeat
- Phase II:
- Move in and out to bait his attacks, move in and out to bait his Phase II follow up attacks, then attack once.
- Use Phase I Strategy for unmodified moves.
- Rinse and repeat
- Phase III:
- He has new moves, but in general, the Phase I strategy will work
Strategy 2 (Hit n' Run)
- Use heavy hitting weapon like Kirkhammer or Logarious Wheel
- Keep your distance and concentrate on two of his attacks: the left jab and 3 slam combo (dodge first two slams and quickstep + R1 the last one)
- Dodge those two attacks towards the boss, hit only once and always quick step away after single hit to avoid taking damage
- The Rush Swipe can be dodge + R1 -attacked too but keep in mind his following punch is not too heavy but most likely will hit you
- Dodge all other attacks
- Keeping your distance also helps to heal. The only safe time to heal is when the boss is attacking, but can't reach you.
Strategy 3 (BlackSky Eye)
This requires at least 40 arcane and the DLC.(I was 154 with over 48 Arcane) The BlackSky Eye has great range and only costs one QS. So you may need to use a Formless Oedon Rune to get the most out of it as well as Bloodbullets. He will charge at the creation of bloodbullets and vials so make sure you time them well. He may also occasionally charge at the Eye itself. So watch out for that. Just proceed with caution and take it slow dont try and rush the boss fight. Even if you only deal 200 a shot which is about my damage. (200-500 depending on your range to him) If you are feeling rebellious get close and evade and hit him with it. but i recommand saying a distance so He doesnt kill you.
Strategy 4 (Controlled Chaos - Ailing Loran Only)
Summon Vitus if available; he'll help you during phase 1 and possibly through phase 2 of the boss. Make sure you have either a bunch of Fire Paper or the Empty Phantasm Shell (or both!), as well as a full stock of poison knives. Upon entering the room, Abhorrent Beast will charge at you; wait until your partner takes the aggro from you, then trick your weapon and strike from behind for heavy damage. Charged R2 strikes won't open up for a visceral attack, but they still hurt. When the beast turns to attack you, back off and let Vitus take the heat off you again. You really shouldn't get hit at all during this stage. Wash, rinse and repeat until either the boss dies (unlikely) or Vitus does. At this point, you're probably at about 30-40% of the boss' health.
At this point, start circling the inner ring of steps clockwise, and dodge backwards and to the left whenever the boss attacks. You'll want to deactivate the trick on your weapon and put it into the quickest mode it has. Wait until he does either the Wind Gust, or a long combo that you can dodge away from and pump two poison knives into him. Now, depending on how far you and Vitus got the boss down, you can either try to wait out the poison (somewhat risky, once the boss starts doing leaping attacks), or speed the process up by sneaking in a few hits whenever he does that leaping slam. Using Ludwig's/Kirkhammer's silver sword, you should be able to get one dodge slash and another R1 slash in before you need to dodge away again. Make sure you do or he could crush you in a single combo. Keep this up for a few minutes and you might not even deplete your entire supply of knives before he's dead.

Notes & Trivia
- His lightning coated body suggested him being a Darkbeast, as both him and Paarl are coated with lightning, while the mace Tonitrus is modeled after the Darkbeasts.
- The Beast form also resembles the one from Beast's Embrace rune, it could the reason why the Beggar remained sentient even after the transformation.
- He actually elongates his arm like rubber in most attacks, making it difficult to guess his range.

I dislike this boss because even though I found it a tough fight, it doesn't feel like it's "fun" in the sense that with other tough bosses, you have to brace to respond differently to different attacks or learn some novel technique. With this boss it just feels like dodge to the side, strafe a bit, get a few hits in, repeat. And all the attacks feel too samey, no AOE's, no big attacks that have a cooldown, nothing with a "cool" factor like the Paarl fight did the first time you found him. So when it's over, you don't feel accomplished like beating a challenge, you just feel like you had to do some sort of chore, and the next time you see him, that's what it's gonna feel like, just another chore.

Also deffo using serrated weapons and something not too slow could be good. Maybe the axe L2 could keep it off balance? Idfk I mostly cheese this guy.
Bloodborne said, 'hey we put this random storm god werewolf in the game." and I'm like, "nice I'm gonna cheat if that's ok."

You can break its arms if you focus on one side, the extra damage makes the fight drag on a lot less. Trying to hit his head never feels worth it to me, I just hit his hands and/or trade constantly. Poison knives are also really slow and do piss, I wouldn't recommend focusing a lot on those.

One of the very few bosses that gave me some challenge in Bloodborne LOL. His attacks are very quick and the side step he does after attacking oof.

Ailing loran version - I found out the poison knives dont work if you summon NPC. So don't do it. Take whirligig saw instead, it seems like he jumps back once you hit him with this weapon which is super useful. Keep dodging to his left. One hit and run. Make sure he is poisoned and just take your time. In the end it was not a hard fight.

Really boring boss, dodge and attack with a R2 and then watch him jump away, repeat 50 times.
Biggest danger is getting greedy to push damage, get hit as a result and panic dodge into death - then be annoyed that you have to do the same **** for another 5 minutes and get greedy again lmao

You certainly can stagger him for a visceral, just pop that beasts embrace rune and then beast claw with fire. Works wonders
Not too difficult, just tedious. No opportunities to visceral and that dumb hop he does draws out this fight and makes it longer than it needs to be.

Learn his moves. Use hunters axe tricked. Bait left jab. Use running R2 to hit his head. Rinse and repeat. When head is broken do visceral. With this it is doable pretty easily.

I hate to say it, but this boss requires you to just keep dying to him until you master him, then you can assuredly kill him without getting hit once

I always roll my eyes when I see him in a dungeon. He’s just time consuming. No real sweet spots to get all this damage in. 1-2 hits and dodge, repeat.

I totally agree with the tip below. I didn't summon another hunter but that was pretty much my strategy. Lead Elixir not always though, I tried to get some damage moving around at normal speed in between. Serrated weapon, fire paper, guidance rune, and eventually you get a visceral too. Struggled A LOT before that.

Tip. Use lead elixer for combat strategy. I started by taking in an old hunter who dies fast. Get all the damage you can while he is alive. Then put on lead elixer and FP. Tank damage and dodge alot. It worked for me 2nd try
- Anonymous
My general rule of thumb is to keep a good distance and bait either his three ground slams or his rubber punch, and to dodge forward for one quick hit to his face before dodging back out. Otherwise, play keepaway as long as you can. If he uses the gust, dodge sideways; if he runs toward you suddenly, be ready to dodge forward under his arm just as he gets within range of hitting you, then dodge further away from him because he'll usually follow with a quick elbow.
Don't forget a good serrated weapon, either infused with fire gems or with fire paper at the ready. (Saw Spear is very good for its L1 attacks after a dodge, since you'll mostly be using dodge attacks anyway). I would refrain from molotovs because using any consumable tends to trigger his running attack, and you won't have time to dodge. That's especially true for healing—try to wait until he's performing a lengthier attack at a distance.
Unfortunately, as annoying as it sounds, this boss is about dying over and over until you memorize all his attacks. This makes phase 3 all the more irritating... But it can be done. I used to struggle with him, but now I can take him on pretty consistently. Don't lose hope!
Love his design btw. Funky zap werewolf with a sneering human face.

There's a fine line between challenge, and bullsh*t... This is the most bullsh*t boss out of the whole soulsborne series.
First off, he's a f*cking force master. Lightning damage, insane agility, and actual force punches.
He also has properties of Mr. Fantastic, you can literally see his arms stretching as he swings at you, for some very stupid hitboxes.
You can't parry him, or stagger him like other bosses for a v. Attack...
**** you, fromsoft.

Very annoying boss. Took me a solid 5 tries to defeat him. First I used the Henryks Armor set to (somewhat) lessen his bolt related damage. Then, I kept my distance and darted him with a poison knife while he is attacking then dashing in once his combo is over and hitting him with R2 with my long range weapon (I use the threaded cane). Did that till he had a third of his health left. Then I used up my knives and my qs bullets (Evelyn user) till he dropped since getting a melee hit in during the final stage felt nearly impossible and my blood vials were depleted. Barely defeated him. If you manage to figure out his timing you may be able to squeeze in more hits but I couldn't dodge his attacks consistently. Peppering him from a distance was a very painstaking and tedious strategy but worked best for me.

In Forbidden Woods used the small corridor where you meet him to cheese him with Poison Knifes as he could not reach me, in the Chalice Dungeon I used the Poisoned Knives coupled with Simon's Bowblade, was a long but safe fight.
- Anonymous
Have just finished that guy, first time met him in Forbidden Woods - it was disaster, after that had a pretty strong fear of him. But accidentally opened a nice strategy in dungeons, which is not present here on the page. Using a Holy Blade in trick mode and only R2 attack. The strategy itself: lock on him, keep distance, once he is running on you - start charging R2. If you are good at timings of your weapon you just hit him into the face and dodge. While he is in animation, grow distance and repeat. The most interesting part of that strategy, that if you hit him that way (R2) while he is performing his long-arm attack - right in his hitting (not charging) pose, it will be a visceral. Came up with that in Ailing Loran layer 3 and right after repeated without big difficulties in Lower Ailing Loran layer 2.
What's *really* annoying is the lantern prior to this boss (Ailing Loran Layer 3) has a spider that approaches you even if you haven't moved from the spawn point. So if you are taking a mental break between boss attempts, well, ***** you. You've just wasted another blood vial healing. This gets me heated because I've always felt that one of the 'unspoken rules' of SoulsBorne is that the bonfires are safe zones.

Holding the whirligigs L2 attack into his face until you run out of stamina worked pretty well. Died 20+ times, but that with firepaper worked eventually. For some reason 3+ poison knives didn't seem to do anything. I confirmed they hit.

Ok so i was 3 f`ing days on this beast in lower loran and close to giving up. The way ive eventually beat him is going in for headshots after the long jab and 3 hit combo (you`ll get the timing with enough practice). I got 2 visceral strikes on him this way. And then he went into his phase 3. This is the phase that was constantly killing me when i was getting him down to 1/3 of his health. So i took a different approach and backed away using repeat pistol with bone marrow ash at distance for the final third. And i just beat him! Man i feel good!

I died to this mfer 11 DAMN TIMES before I took a smoke break. GRrrrr!! Hate this mfer! Best way to beat him in Ailing Loran is to summon help to the right if lamp. When the fight starts, go on the offensive and double team him with you attacking his rear. You should be able to stun him and make him jump back at least twice. We got him down to 1/3 health before my npc summon died. From there it’s a matter of patience and luck. Never heal twice in a row; distance yourself, heal, then prepare to dodge before healing again. Hate this *****er, good luck and don’t throw your controller lol. If you can’t beat him, take a break/smoke/shot, and try again in 20 mins. Worked for me

To be honest, I find this boss to be one of the ones that's consistently pretty difficult. Like even after slaying it a bunch of times, it still poses a challenge. That's why I really dig it. This guy really does force you to get good, as (if you're not cheesing with poison knives, that is) you have to be pretty on point on the dodging and check your greed, because especially in the higher level dungeons, jesus, the damage is pretty insane. Overall, I think it's a pretty well made boss. Definitely one of the better beast-bosses for sure.

Dodge towards his attacks to his left (your right) - especially when he punches, as it will allow you to get to his left side for a quick 1-2 attack. After that he will jump back to gain ground or will attempt to swing in your direction; if he backhands, dodge again TOWARD the opposite direction (he swings left, juke right) as it again allows you to avoid attack and follow up with a counter 1-2 hit. When he throws his three combo move you can again dodge to his left ( I find his left side to be a good opening for attacks as he cannot coordinate his combos once he engages. Strike him a few times with light attacks or a huge heavy attack followed by dousing him with fire sprayer. Good weapons to use is Saw spear or saw cleaver, doused with Fire paper or equipped with fire gems. These will allow quick attacks and added damage via serration and fire. Follow these steps and just adapt to his increases in power in the further phases. The key to beating this prick is timing your dodges through and around his attacks.

this boss is just stupid, spams non-stop with questionable windows for one attack and you can't really parry - which is just stupid for such aggressive boss. I just stopped bothering after killing him once solo, now I call summon NPC, fire paper + beast pellet and ***** him over in 20s. NPC last just about as long as the fight lasts - usually dies with boss or 1-2 seconds earlier. If someone enjoys cat and mouse fight - good for you, I don't bother.

Damn y'all just gotta learn to put down the LHB for a second and pick up a serrated weapon. This guy really shouldn't take that long, it's mostly a matter of baiting his punishable attacks and focusing hits on his face until it caves and you get a visceral. Try dodging through his long punches and using the transformation attack of the Saw Spear (press L1 while dodging or after another attack), preferably buffed with fire paper, and avoid most of his other attacks, especially in the second and third phases. It takes some time to memorize his wide pallet of attacks, but once you've got it, he's fairly manageable.

Camera lock with a combination of dodging into his attacks on the left and keeping your distance. Don't be one of those idiots who feels he never has to camera lock anything. Some bosses you camera lock and some you don't. THIS boss you camera lock. My LHB +10 with fire paper does a number on him at two to three licks per opportunity. Then I always have two shots ready from my Cannon +6 for the final phase, at which point I hang back and blow his porcupine ass off. Poison daggers help in the background, but they're not at all essential.

Worst boss in the game. Totally absurd design, looks and feels like some sorta fighting game reject, and has some of the worst hit detection in a FROMSOFT game. To cheese him out, just apply poison to him with one or two knives and run around until it wears him down; this works even on higher NG levels.

"Almost all of his attacks have the same timing, so take advantage of that." Good tip except it's complete bs. his right fist alone has three different attacks with COMPLETELY different timing. on top of that, all three looks the same when he "charges" his attack. how tf can you write something like this, delete it now, srsly.
finally manage to beat this *******. summon vitus. use hunter axe and apply phantasm shell. and then just spam the spin move on the back or side
