      I think Rom has some susceptibility to righteous weapons. I've used threaded cane against this boss and it seemed to go much better than most weapons I've tried. Interrupted the teleport with regular attacks and one cycled it.

        This, IMO, is the biggest letdown of the game, and IMO, bloodborne is the greatest game of all time. ALL of these enemies weak to Righteous weapon barely even exist in the game, you almost NEVER encounter these enemy types. You might see a Vengeful Specter once in every 5 dungeons, its meaningless to have additional dmg verse these enemies, theyre also weak af. Compared to Serrated Weapons, Righteous Weapons have next to no benefit.

          Kinda disappointing that a lot of enemies from the old hunter dlc aren't part of this. Especially the ones in the fishing hamlet as they seem particularly against the ones in byrgenwerth

            I think it's supposed to be sort of tongue in cheek. The "righteous" Healing Church who are totally the good guys who absolutely don't conduct brutal experimentation on living people think they're better than the relatively harmless Vilebloods.

              I just found out this existed lol. I knew about serrated weapons but righteous? Only after informing myself about Church Pick.

                The church pick has both “holy” and “serrated” in both forms(in both modes), does that make it good?
