Micolash, Host of the Nightmare (悪夢の主ミコラーシュ Akumu no shu Mikorāshu lit. "Micolash, Lord of the Nightmare") is a boss in Bloodborne.
Micolash, Host of the Nightmare Information
"Ahhh Kos... or some say Kosm. Do you hear our prayers?"
Locations
- In Nightmare of Mensis, taking a left from the lantern, follow the path to the castle and progress through until you reach a long bridge and two rising Ethereal Walkers, after which you will find the boss room.
- After defeating this boss, the long bridge will rise and the Mergo's Loft Middle lantern will spawn.
- This boss is not optional, as defeating him is the only way to cause the bridge to rise and progress to the next area.
Drops
- Blood Echoes: NG (48400), NG+ (242000), NG++(266200), NG+3 (302500), NG+6 (484,000), NG+8 (605,000)
- Mensis Cage
- You gain 2 Insight for finding the boss, and 2 Insight for beating him.
Combat Information
- You will be fighting him in a library with steps going up and down. There is tons of mist on the ground making enemies harder to see. Overall he is not aggressive boss, but has one dangerous AoE spell, tentacle arms, and Ethereal Walkers who help him during the first part of the fight.
- Initially you need to find and follow him to a dead end room where you can beat on him until he is half health.
- He will teleport away after half health. Head up the stairs, past a few of the crossbow Mannequins. You will arrive in another area that looks just like the first area. He will be there, but will soon run into a dead end room, dropping a gate that prevents you from entering. Head up the stairs here and you will find a drop down where you can drop into that dead end room.
- When you engage the boss for the second time he will be much more aggressive, using Augur of Ebrietas, fists (very weak), and A Call Beyond, that is very difficult to dodge and might one shot you. The secret here is to never let him cast A Call Beyond, because if he does then you are really only counting on luck to survive it. If you stand really close to him (literally touching him), he will never use that spell, resorting instead to his fists and tentacles, which allows you to simply stun him to death, while occasionally strafing to dodge his tentacles. If you get too far away and he does manage to start the spell, shoot him immediately, if you catch him early enough in the animation it will stagger him out of the casting
- Backstabs (charged R2 to the back) can be performed when he does the tentacle attack if you have a fast enough weapon. This is a reliable way to deal considerable damage (and even heal yourself if you have the right runes), particularly during the first half of the fight.
- Depending on your Insight count, Micolash may teleport through different mirrors after teleporting at half health. After hitting Micolash several times along the chase from mirror to mirror, he will eventually run into the dead end room as usual.
- In his second location, Micolash gains the ability to use A Call Beyond to summon numerous arcane missiles and unleash them upon the hunter (also used by hostile hunter in Bergynwerth). If it hits multiple times it will kill anyone from full health (it has no trouble 1 shotting a hunter with 50 vitality and equipped with full choir set). He will sometimes spam this ability, using it again as soon as he completes channeling the first attack. Using the Old Hunter Bone will help somewhat, but other than that there is no real counter when he does this, since unlike the Augur of Ebrietas, this attack cannot be interrupted and the missiles will fire even if Micolash is staggered in the middle of this channel animation.
- If you have a high enough Arcane to use Beast Roar, hit him with as many attacks as you can. Then, once your Stamina bar is almost empty, cast Beast Roar. It will knock him down and give you time to either heal or get your stamina back to repeat the process. This will ensure that he will never get a chance to cast his AoE again.
Attack Name |
Attack Description & Counter |
|
|---|---|---|
| Augur of Ebrietas | Summons mid-range tentacle strike from palm. Can avoid just by walking. Long recovery time means this attack can consistently be punished with a back-stab. In the first phase, this will be the only attack Micolash uses. | |
| Punch | Micolash punches 2 or 3 times in succession, dealing low damage. | |
| A Call Beyond | Summons numerous arcane missiles to attack the hunter. Very dangerous, capable of one-shotting hunters from full health. Evade straight at Micolash to avoid this attack consistently. Dodging from side to side is risky. Note that this is unlike the barrage attack that Ebrietas uses; the missiles will fire simultaneously rather than in three waves, and will carpet the entire area with only some missiles homing toward their target. |
Strategy 1 (Co Op)
The Chase: Before he runs into the first room, have someone stand in front of the door (preventing him from entering). The other person is free to chase and hit him without him retaliating. After he disappears and goes into the next area, have someone stand in between the next dead end room and the middle of the room where he spawns after hitting him (This prevents him again from leading you into the final room to which there is no exit until you beat him. Allowing the other person to chase and hit him without him trying hit back). The person blocking the way is also able to get a hit in now and then; the Cannon is recommended because of its range and damage, plus buffed by the Bone Marrow Ash makes it work very well.
Strategy 2 (Killing him in Phase 1)
You can skip his second phase by killing him before he reaches the second room. For that, get him down to 50% in the first room. He will disappear. Go up the stairs and find him. Chase him till he jumps down from a ledge. DON'T follow him. Instead go down the stairs and attack him. Instead of going to a dead end he will run down the stairs. Follow him and get a few hits - he will disappear. Now go back to the place where he jumps down. He will wait along the way. When he sees you, he will run to the ledge. You can go back to the room where he lands. Now you're standing in the room to which he jumps - he is standing on the balcony. Run underneath him - he will jump; when he lands, get a few strikes. He will disappear and spawn on the way to the 2nd floor. Make him jump from the ledge again. With each jump you'll be able to land 1-2 hits and eventually you'll kill him without dealing with the second phase.
Strategy 3 (Cannon)
Do the first phase of the fight normally. Then, when he teleports, follow him until you reach the top of the room where he drops. Don't drop after him. Instead, switch to your cannon, press up to get +5 QS bullets and fire at him. Repeat until you're completely out of bullets. Don't forget to heal at some point. He should now be pretty low on health and you should be able to get him with a plunge attack. Alternatively, you can use any other kind of ranged attack, like Poison Knives, or you can increase the effectiveness of your firearms with Bone Marrow Ash.
Strategy 4 (Poison Knife)
For the first half of the fight deal with the skeletons quickly and then circle around Micolash hitting him with L2 attacks using Ludwig's in greatsword mode. If you just continuously walk around him while locked on and just out of sword reach, he will miss. When he runs away up to the point where you have to jump down through a square hole to fight him again - as for Strategy 3, any ranged strategy will probably work. Poison Knives are very effective. Two in quick succession will poison him. You won't see any damage counter but he will start running back and forth and his life bar will decrease until it wears off, at which point he will stand still again. It takes about 3 or 4 rounds of poison to kill him.
Strategy 5 (Melee)
Follow Micolash around for the first half of the fight right up until he enters the room where you will fight him. There are several paths from here, when you enter there will be two floating enemies dispatch them from a distance and always keep an eye on Micolash because he uses a tentacle attack (Augur of Ebrietas) or you can lure Micolash out into the small corridor before the room, here he won't often attack so you can safely finish this stage. For the most part the first stage is easy because he only has the tentacle attack, but once he gets to around 50% health he relocates to a different part of library; follow him again until he has locked himself in the room. From this point on things will get a lot harder. First of all look around the maze for the drop in location. When you drop, start the fight with a plunging attack (I fought him with a +8 Ludwig's Holy Blade while using the highest arcane resistance gear I had, along with Fire Paper and Bolt Paper ). If you fail this he will usually use A Call Beyond which can one shot you, so be careful. For the rest of this fight you want to be super offensive. His melee attacks deal little damage and his tentacle attack is easy to dodge; there is no consistent way to dodge A Call Beyond, but he can easily be staggered while using this attack.
Strategy 6 (Aggressive Melee)
If you happen to be using weapons that don't stagger enemies (such as the Tonitrus) then the second half of this fight is nominally more difficult as you cannot stop Micolash from casting A Call Beyond if he gets into it.
Before you head to the boss room, head to the Hunter's Dream and make sure to equip the highest level Anti-Clockwise Metamorphosis run you happen to have. This will grant a higher maximum stamina which will be invaluable in this fight. Head to the fight and do the first half as directed above. In the second half, get him into his final room, then prepare yourself. Before you drop into the room, make sure you're at full health, then use a Bone Marrow Ash to buff your gun and a Beast Blood Pellet to increase your damage output. Peer over the ledge and lock onto him, then fall into the room and do a roll as you land. Not only will this minimize the amount of damage you take from the fall but it means you'll be ready to fight immediately.
Chances are Micolash will land a couple of punches on you, don't worry about this, instead get aggressive and combo him as much as possible. When you've got a small sliver of stamina left, dodge to the side and let him use the tentacle attack. Before he turns back to you, fire off a couple of shots from your gun. You won't do too much damage to him but you'll keep him from moving away to cast A Call Beyond. He should step back, so catch up to him, rinse and repeat. If you can get him pressed up against a wall, even better. The whole trick to surviving the second portion of the fight is to make sure that he doesn't cast A Call Beyond, so stay close to him, use regain to keep yourself alive (even if he hits you with the tentacle attack) and he'll go down quickly.
Strategy 7 (Blacksky Eye)
If you have enough arcane to use the Blacksky Eye, and enough insight to cause Micolash to jump through the mirrors, you can kill the boss before he gets to any of the "fighting rooms".
When you first cross the nightmare fog, Micolash will always be standing in the same place to start out with (up the stairs to the right, then down the hallway to the left). Normally, he will start to run when you get close enough to him, but with the Blacksky eye, you can stand far enough away from him to hit him with the spell, but not so close that he starts to run away. When nearing the 50% health threshold, Micolash may attempt to run for his first fight room, but can easily be interrupted and cut down, as you would be standing between him and his room.
For his second phase, you will need to chase Micolash until he starts jumping through mirrors, then go to where you would normally drop down on him, only to have him run into his second fight room and close the door behind him. Instead of dropping down, simply stand on the ledge and continue to use the Blacksky Eye to whittle his health away. Each hit with the eye will cause him to vanish, then reappear in the mirror behind him.
This method is very reliable and easy to utilize, mostly because you don't have to worry about his use of A Call Beyond.
Strategy 8 (Bowblade)
If you have the Bowblade and plenty of ammo/blood vials, you can cheese this fight.
Progress the fight as usual and after you've gotten his health down to 50%, and he disappears, head upwards and pursue him until he runs into the first mirror. Now head to the right onto the balcony, and into the small room with a hole in the floor. Drop through but take a second to look around. You should see two skeleton puppets/mannequins yet to wake, and down the corridor Micolash is waiting in front of another mirror.
Walk forward slowly and kill the two mannequins that will wake. Be careful not to move too far down the corridor and trigger Micolash's running away.
Once the mannequins are dead, get your bowblade out, and walk slowly down the corridor until you can just lock onto Micolash. Once you can, use R2 to fire a powered shot at him. Micolash will be knocked backwards into the mirror, and come rolling forward out of it once again, only to stand still in the same spot.
Repeatedly damage him using R2, using blood bullets if you need to, and re-killing the mannequins as they wake up (still being careful not to trigger Micolash running), and he'll be dead in no time.
Strategy 9 (Aggro and fight through the gate)
If you have a gun which can hit through walls (such as the blunderbuss) and a decent-range melee weapon such as the axe or threaded cane, you can cheese the second half of this fight.
After you’ve got Micolash down to half health, he will teleport away from you and go to the second part of the arena. He will run away from you again and will lead you to the second fight room. This room has a gate which drops down after he enters but before you can enter.
Now you want to kill all the puppet men in this room and equip a gun like the blunderbuss which can hit him through the gate. Stand right up against the gate and shoot the blunderbuss at him. This will aggro him and he'll start running towards the gate to attack you. You can then use a long weapon like the hunters axe (in its two handed form) or threaded cane (in whip form) to hit him through the wall. He might try to cast a magic attack or try to punch you through the wall, but he didn't do this in my playthrough. The puppets may also respawn after some time, but if your melee weapon is powerful enough he should be dead by this point.

Dialogue
- "Ahh, Kos, or some say Kosm... Do you hear our prayers?"
- "No, we shall not abandon the dream."
- "No one can catch us! No one can stop us now! [cackling]."
- "Ah hah hah ha! Ooh! Majestic! A hunter is a hunter, even in a dream. But, alas, not too fast! The nightmare swirls and churns unending!"
- "As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy."
- "The grand lake of mud, hidden now, from sight."
- "The cosmos, of course!"
- "Let us sit about, and speak feverishly. Chatting into the wee hours of..."
- "New ideas, of the higher plane!"
- "Now I'm waking up, I'll forget everything..."
Notes & Trivia
- The body found after defeating The One Reborn (Advent Plaza at end of Yahar'gul) wears a Mensis Cage just like that of Micolash. It is also the portal by which the Hunter enters the Lecture Hall 2nd Floor which leads to Nightmare of Mensis. Given that Micolash is the "Host of the Nightmare", it is likely that this corpse is his actual body in the waking world.
- What Micolash says upon death is more accurately translated as, “Will I wake up? Will I forget everything?” This implies that he has no idea that his body in the waking world died when he entered the nightmare and that his death in the nightmare is actually permanent.

So there is another cheese strat, when he enters the room where he uses the call beyond, just go where you normally drop in but don't, use ether the hunter pistol or the evelyn(the one i used) and shoot him once, after that go to the gate and cheese him with any weapon that can hit through, the cane, the hunter axe, i used the holy blade of cheat, i think the pizza cutter might work too. I also used the cannon with bone ash to boost the damage.

Micolash doesnt have amazing moveset but I like how original this fight is. He is the only boss who is not agressive and he runs away from you. You can literally just ignore him and loot the place when the boss HP bar is on the screen. The first part is easy and in the second part I didnt experience the immediate Call beyond cast (maybe FromSoftware patched it). During the fight he used it 3 times and I was able to dodge all of it. Also his HP is quite low and I took him down quickly.

It might've just been good RNG but in my first and only try on Micolash I beat him pretty easily. Essentially, just ignore him and go loot his nightmare. In the first couple minutes, I got Micolash to run into the door pretty quickly, i did this by running past him or just another corridor (dont remember exactly). After I looted i took the long way around effectively shepherding him towards the door. The rest of the time i just went around and looted, cheesed Micolash with poison knives for a couple seconds at the opening and then just jumping down and beating his ass. It was all pretty easy actually...

It seems like he is in a giddy, childlike state, quite unusual for someone who is supposed to be the respected head of an academy. He realizes he is dreaming but doesn't want to wake up because he fears he will forget. He doesn't even realize he is dead. To him, it's just a game.
His catchphrase "Kos or some say Kosm" seems to be like a kind of gloat mingled in with his prayer. It's like he's saying to you "oh, you didn't know that Kos is the personification of the Cosmos? Hee hee well now you know! Ta ta!" like he is expressing how much deep knowledge he has while you are just a lowly hunter who knows nothing, and he is just toying with you.

I love this boss so much. Every other humanoid boss has unique moves or a special transformation that sets them apart from normal hunter npcs but Micolash just has his ridiculous AI. On my first run I had this problem where I didn’t know that you had to get him in the room alone so I would just chase him and keep shooting him and sometimes he’d stop in front of a mirror so I could get a couple hits in but on replay he’s so damn easy because all it takes is a straight dash to dodge acb and has ds3 levels of poise. His voice is also my second favorite in the game after Fishing Hamlet Priest.

There is a Wandering Madness that drops a couple bloodstone chunks and a higher-level Moon rune at the bottom of a spiral staircase as you chase Micolash into the second phase of the fight (where you turn right to go up the stairs after him - if you go left that's where it is). It's guarded by some crossbow attendants and a Chief Attendant. I went and got it after the fight was over

Most easy cheese boss in the game. Didn’t even have to use this site to figure out the bow blade strategy. Also a first phase addition to the version of that strategy. If you go up the first stair case to the middle platform (killing any mannequins that spawn on the way) and slightly enter the hallway you can see him at the end of, enough to prevent the mannequin behind you from respawning but not enough to trigger Micolash to run away. You can cheese the first phase by Bow shooting him. He will despawn after every shot but will respawn right back in front of you. Also stand about dead center in the hallway, this becomes important later. Rinse and repeat until about 45% and he will try to run to the first room, by trying to run through you if you stood right in the middle of the hallway. Switch to blade mode or your alt weapon and beat him down until he despawns to start phase 2.

Beast roar makes this fight very easy. I'm suprised it's not on the strategies. Beast roar will knock him down, so you can get a few hits while he's on the ground, as soon as he get's up, use beast roar, hit him again, rince and repeat.

I never thought much about it before, but you know how Alfred mentions a "Byrgenwerth scholar" that brought "forbidden blood" to Cainhurst? I'm starting to wonder now if that was referring to Micolash.
Mensis seems to share certain visual details with Castle Cainhurst, and there's also the connection to Queen Yharnam. The Winter Lanterns (though seemingly imitations of the Doll) look like they could be wearing Cainhurst dresses, too. Furthermore, Mergo's attendants wear steel armor and carry distinctly medieval weaponry.
I wonder if that "forbidden blood" had to do with the Brain of Mensis and the Winter Lanterns, as if they were all involved in some kind of experiment? This granted them the first Third Umbilical... and the stillbirth of their brains?

His ost is really awesome but it is also tainted with boss fight. Particularly how micolash would rant and howl I just can’t unhear that when certain moments of the music plays .
- Anonymous
Probably one of my favorite bosses, but the fight itself is either annoying or boring as hell. If you stay close and know how to dodge the tentacle arm thing (I know that one Byrgenwerth hunter taught me to do that the hard way), it's boring and easy. If you have a hard time dodging his attacks, it'll probably feel annoying and cheap judging by how much damage he does if you do get caught. Anyways, if you're having trouble, kill the surrounding enemies first and stay close to him and on his side. He won't launch the projectiles when your close and the tentacles can't get to you when you're next to him.

Bloodborne is a great game, but I feel Micolash holds it back from masterpiece status. He really is that terrible and not-fun. I'd rather face any number of Cursed Defiled Watchdogs or Ihyll Pthumerian Descendants that this aggravating, cheesy cocksucker.
His wolf howling could be a Blade Runner reference. Where Deckart is chased by Roy Batty and Batty also does the howling.

Both phases I just got right up in his face, hacked away and the moment I ran out of stamina hit him with Ebrietas. Knocked back a few times, but just close the distance fast and dodge sideways past his tentacles then hack hack hack hack blast, charge a heavy while he’s getting up then dodge sideways and repeat. Managed to lock him against a wall and just went at him unrelenting til he died. Zero Call Beyond casts.

During his second phase, literally just keep your body up against him and don’t let up. Strafing to your right (his left) will allow you to avoid his Augur, and he will never use A Call Beyond.
If he ever does us Call, right as it fires, dodge through it. It isn’t “RNG” like the game says, it’s just knowing when to dodge.
Is it still possible to get him stuck in the wall on current patch?

I figured out you could do the coop strategy solo and not allow him to enter the final room. Basically never chase him in there. If u lose him go to the top and jump down in the room before searching for him. Eventually he will repeat trying to do the mirror teleport to get in the room but u can beat him back to the other teleporter to him. This is how I beat him on new game plus because of his stupid nuke attack.

So, I was putting myself through this absolute chore in NG+ and in the process, found an extremely cheesy and safe manner to deal with his second phase, you only need a decent gun (I am using a hunting pistol +10 with around 20 Bloodtinge) and all the Bone Marrow Ash you can stock up on. Once you take him down to 1/2 hp in the first room, he'll run away normally, go up the stairs as you normally would. He will eventually either jump into a mirror or jump down a ledge, do not follow him, instead, go to the place where you would normally jump after him and lock on to him, turns out, this is just enough distance to shoot him, and when you do, it only resets the animation where he gets out of the mirror and runs towards the center of the room. Equip your Bone Marrow Ash, use one and shoot. I dealt around 459 damage per shot with my build, to give you an idea. Rinse and repeat. If you run out of Bone Marrow Ash and/or bullets, you can always get 5 bullets at the cost of HP and regain health safely using Blood Vials, pretty much nothing attacks you up there and you will eventually take him down. It felt a bit dirty, but it's more than fair seeing how cheesy his second phase is. Cheers!

This crap is a freaking chore in NG+ onwards. Worst part is it is part of the critical path.

Nice, inserting the Nic Cage meme in here, especially considering there's no way the From Software team were in any way influenced by the atrocious Wickerman remake.

after you chased him for eternity then he calls the nuke on you
Weirdest little freak I've ever seen in my entire life. I am going to pour milk on him and then suck all the milk back out and then slam him against the wall and he will make a loud thud
