Scourge Beasts are enemies in Bloodborne. Taken and transformed by the plague at a very early stage, these beasts are extremely fast and powerful, capable of closing in on Hunters in the blink of an eye. They can easily take Hunters by surprise with their erratic and unpredictable movements. Extreme care is required when dealing with them, especially when encountered in pairs.

Strategy

• Iosefka's Clinic: for the first Scourge Beast encounter.
• 1. Make sure to lock onto him so that you do your swipe dodge instead of roll. Also spend some time getting used to the controls before you go into the encounter.
• 2. The key here is to stay away from either the front or immediate back of him. I like to stay towards the back on his hindquarters.
• 3. Keep punching him but always leave just enough stamina to perform a dodge when he does his attacks. You can study this video to see his wind up for each move.
• Another method which requires a bit more experience. When he lunges forwards in an attempt of grabbing you. Dodge past him but then quickly dodge back to him but get behind him. You then want to charge a heavy right into the back of him, this will cause him to stagger (make sure you heard a loud distinct sound sort of like a clanging if not try again) then into him a bit then light attack this should kill him or at least reduce his HP by a lot.

• Central Yharnam: By luring the wolf beast to the stairs nearby, Hunters can hide in the building connected to the stairs. The wolf beast will stay on the stairs, allowing the Hunter to attack from the safety of the building. Both wolf beasts in this area may be killed using this method. This same method can be used on the three wolf beasts in Upper Cathedral Ward by luring
  • Alternatively, Hunters can leverage Father Gascoigne, who is hanging out down the passage in the opposite direction of the wolf beast. Once you walk over to him, he will aid you temporarily and start fighting the wolf beasts.
  • This same method can be used on the three wolf beasts that destroy the chandeliers in the large two story room in Upper Cathedral Ward. By luring them to one of the two doors on the upper floor, one can quite easily take them out with a long weapon. if the beasts do not stand in front of the doorway (mostly when you attract more than one) you may use the Threaded Cane in whip form to attack through the walls. Once the two Brainsuckers on the balcony are dealt with, one can safely use the same strategy against the wolf beast wandering the upper hallways.
• The beasts have lunging attacks that can also lead to a grab. Sidestepping is an easy way to avoid it
• They can be parried, backstabbed and viscerals work on them.
