Executioner | Bloodborne Wiki

Well, well, well if it isn't Joey Two-Hands, huh?

They kinda remind me of the Executioner Majini from Resident Evil 5

He's giving me a hug? Aww, he wants to be my buddy

These schmucks breathe heavier than Tony Soprano

A cool detail I noticed when fighting one of these despicable fatties in the forbidden woods is that their helmets, which are usually obscured by the hood, bears a striking resemblance to Valtr’s bucket helmet. As it only has one eye hole in it. On top of that, their cape is the same one on the butcher set that the Madaras twins wear. Both of whom are former confederates under Valtr. I’m not speculating anything lore related, but it is interesting that this one enemy has a visual link to two other closely tied npcs in the game.

The one near the entrance to yahargul dropped a heavy gem

I freaking hate these bastards

This ****er was the true final boss

Submit

A true first boss. You learn on them how to parry, you are ready to play Bloodborne

Fatty ahead

Straight Outta Lothric

A possible connection between them and the executioner covenant? Maybe rank and file members?

Submit

i love that the community has named it despicable fatty

Tonitrus is a great weapon to take on this enemy. Electricity is more effective on metal armor and cheeses through this enemy in 2-3 shot of transformed (L1) strikes

Submit

Is there ever any explanation for them or did a bunch of 8 foot tall units with giant axes just randomly show up in yharnam to vibe

Submit

I've been playing this game for 5 years and I'm only now realizing you can parry them

Submit

These guys are good practice for parrying

Submit

Best for farming echoes

I was watching my friend play the game, and he just got grabbed by one of these guys, but he took ZERO DAMAGE... What?

Submit

Grey knight bazuso?

Submit

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've really grown to enjoy fighting these guys. They're not that easy, but they have very fair mechanics and they are actually worth the kill.

Submit

I killed him after many tries by dodging every possible attack and heavy attacking when he's down

So this is a little far-fetched, but seeing as it's a Fromsoft game I figured I'd share my theory. We know the Souls games have a penchant for adding grotesque, thicc, strong women to their games, starting with the Butchers in Dark Souls 1 and continuing with NPCs for the rest of the series. After looking at the detailed pictures of the Executioners on this page, I think a strong argument exists in favor of the Executioners being female (or at least having womanly attributes). First, as the wiki notes, they have long dreadlocked black hair. Men, of course, can also have long hair, so this isn't evidence in itself. In the same vein, the "overweight" appearance of the armor makes the breastplate look like just that—breasts. However, what really made me think about this was the cameo on the Executioners' stomachs. Look at the above picture of the staggered Executioner in Central Yharnam. At first glance, it looks like a portrait of a hooded woman surrounded by a circular frame. However, given the recurring theme of pregnancy and childbirth in Bloodborne, another possible interpretation exists. Picture someone wearing a hoodie with a tight hood. It almost looks like they're being born, doesn't it? With their face poking out of the hoodie-womb? Look at the picture of the Executioner again. Notice the shape of the portrait woman's hood: how it starts at a point, opens up, and closes loosely at the bottom. Notice the effect of the "folds" surrounding the hood. TL;DR, the Executioner armor looks like a pregnant woman giving birth.

Ahhh, Alfonso. Little bitch for breakfast. Leaving a trail of pistachio shells wherever he walks.

We all know he just wants to go home and eat his rotisserie chicken.

But we can't let the gayest barber in town live.

Submit

Just got a fools blood gemstone (triangle) [ Phys up at full hp+2.7%] from the one in central yharnam at the beginning

not listed here at all

Submit

Took me three tries over two game files to beat the one in Yharnam. For an utter newb to the soulsborne games, that means I'm getting better, right?

I didn't even have to stagger him, just had to use a couple of well-timed blood vials- he managed to grab me twice, and each time I had just used one.

Basic strat: Dodge, wait for an opening, and stay well above half health. You can farm the street walking guys for blood vials.

Helmet is incredibly reminiscent of Horace the Hushed's helm in DS3, probably both based on Bazuso from Berserk.

Submit

These guys are EXTREMELY weak to bolt. Buff your weapon with bolt paper or prepare a weapon infused with high bolt damage, then bait their running swing or jump attack. Dodge through them to their backside, then bash away. They should go down in about three R1's.

Submit

Beware of fatty

Submit

big*****bazuso!?

Submit

Wait, is it just me, or do these guys have similar armor to the attendants in Mensis? I wonder if maybe they were sentinels sent by Mensis to spy on the Healing Church... At first, I thought they WERE from the Healing Church, but their design simply doesn't match up with the Church's attire.

Submit

These guys pissed me off when I started playing and this guy and undead giant with 2 blades still do to this day and for the same reason.

Terrible, lingering hit boxes.

In a game where you can literally stand right on edge of boss attacks and avoid it;
Then these 2 enemies have hit boxes on one or two attacks that are just wonky and go completely against any dodging intuition a player might have from the playing rest of the game.

Submit

Running passed them to get to the next area is quite a gamble due to their ridiculous reach and that sweep attack. They're tough to stagger with your gun, and the only times I've managed it, I took damage from the swing anyway. Fighting them outright is hardly an option because they block everything and react too quickly for you to charge an R2 to break their guard.

All of that coupled with where they're placed makes for an annoying enemy. Being challenged, like fighting NPC Hunters, is fun. Trying to get out of three 15-foot radial axe swings while simultaneously avoiding at least two snipers is *****ing annoying.

Submit

I mean, their body structure, attacks, surprising agility, all seem to match with one another except the Vicars of the Cosmos can just output much more damage with a much larger health bar it seems. Not to mention, they both have an axe and cannon variant.

Submit

I hope someone list strategies soon he is brutally hard..

The executioners just outside the Witch's Abode can teleport. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--xGYp2Nxq--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_320/xkyybssvkmpnzst5htgb.gif The first one will teleport back up the hill behind you, the one on the other side of the path will teleport to the far right. I have had it happen a few times now, when I'm using them to farm vials.

Submit

Anyone got any information on the Bell-Ringing variants? Cannon holder's a ***** and so are the axe holders with their ranged attacks, and their holds. Luckily you can parry them both fairly easily when they do their horizontal swipe attacks.

Submit

Those seeking striking blood gems to up their charge attacks can find them off these guys. In particular I found my first striking blood gem off the executioner in central yharnam

Submit

Is it possible to sneak on him

Submit

I don't know exactly where I am but up this hill there was one by a treasure chest to the side. on the top of the hill near the building were a bunch of crazy women. As soon as I killed them the executioner ran quickly up the hill and stood right at the entrance of the building. I get up there and it just looks at me and doesn't interact. Bug?

Submit

Even at level 60 they can still trounce you. Just barrel through your attacks and TROUNCE YOU! You cant even get behind them half the time cause they do that spinning and then if you run they just leap slam you!
