Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos (星の娘、エーブリエタースHoshi no Musume, Ēburietāsu lit. "Ebrietas, Daughter of the Stars") is an optionalGreat One Boss inBloodborne. Ebrietas is aKin-type enemy, which means that she is vulnerable toBolt damage. She is located in theAltar of Despair, which is close to the area where theCelestial Emissary was fought.
| Moveset | Description and Counter |
|---|---|
| Head Slam | She slams her head down in front of her if the player is at close range. |
| Grab | Grabs the player and shoves them into her mouth, inducing Frenzy. This attack can be a 1-hit KO if the player's health is less than 1,000. |
| Tentacle Swing | Swings either her right or left tentacle at the player. She can do a flurry of attacks if the player is still close enough. |
| Charge | At close, mid, or far range, she will perform a charge attack that does massive damage, signalled by her head backing up slightly. One of her hardest hitting moves. |
| Retreat | Flies backwards or to the sides to gain distance. May cause damage if close by when taking off or landing. |
| Flying Head Slam | If the player is in the mid-range, then she will fly into the air a bit and do a head slam at the player. Causes high damage. |
| Body Slam | Ebrietas smashes her whole body toward the player. |
| Blood Spit | Ebrietas spits blood at the player causing damage and inducing frenzy. |
| A Call Beyond | Calls forth a cloud of stars above her head, before firing off three bursts of arcane missiles at her target, dealing massive damage even if only a couple hit. |
| Damage Aura | Ebrietas casts an aura around herself that makes the player take constant damage while at close range. This is cast when her HP approaches 50%. The aura also damages her, though not quickly enough to matter much, unless she is already near death. (possible bug?) |
She can charge at the player at any time at any range and most of the players get one shot killed or left barely alive, especially in the chalice dungeons. She signals pretty clearly when she is about to charge at you but dodging it is extremely difficult. However, there are ways. The most important thing to know is that getting hit by her tentacles does the highest damage. Getting hit by her charging head or torso can leave you alive with very little health.
Keep towards the front, as close as possible (touching), to provoke the head slam attack and avoid provoking the tentacle and laser attacks. Wear armor with high physical resistance (Yahar'gul, for example) to mitigate the tentacle attacks.
Rush Ebrietas, and roll in, then move to the left, staying very close in (touching). Touching the chest like this will provoke a head slam attack. Take a few swings, taking note of your stamina. Cross over (or not), but touch the chest to provoke another head-slam attack. Go back to one of the sides and close in. When the head drops, take a few swings, and repeat. When hit, just use a vial instead of attacking. The attack you have to worry about is the left arm/tentacle swinging around to the right around the body, which is not an issue if you move behind her. When Ebrietas starts doing anything out of this pattern (like jumping around, spamming a crossover attack, etc), just hold your fire and defend, waiting for the head slamming to start up again.
For pureBloodtinge builds, this strategy works well with Simon's Bowblade. Stand just outside of head slam range and charge transformed r2 for big damage. With this strategy, you only have to worry about her charge (the probability of which can be lessened by weaving in and out of her range) and A Call Beyond (phase 2).
This method probably takes the longest, but it's the safest of tactics. Step one: Don't lock on to her. What you want to do is stay a medium range away from her (just out of reach of her tentacles) and circle her. At this range, you'll be at a range where a charged R2 from, let's say,Ludwig's Holy Blade in its transformed form (the great-sword), will always hit her when she head slams.
Note: It's not worth attacking her when she head-slams with her tentacles, because there isn't enough time to hit her tentacles or head with any heavy attack. She has a short cooldown on the head+tentacle slam. You may be able to get in a light attack, depending on your spacing and weapon.
You want to circle her constantly (not locked on). When she charges, roll in the direction you're running. When she head-slams (she has good differentiated indicators for when she charges or head-slams), that's when you start to walk forward...but not too far as to get hit by the head-slams. Remember your weapon's range, especially for something like the transformed Ludwig's, which is pretty long on its own.
Another option is to lure the boss back towards the narrow hallway by the fog doorway through which you enter the boss chamber. Pull her, then run back there, hugging what was the right side when you first came in (and faced the boss) but is now the left side (as you run back to it, away from the boss you just pulled). After she meanders over to you, she will charge you with her head. Once she recovers from this move, your job is to consistently move clockwise, staying behind the boss and beating the living daylights out of her tails. I used lightning paper when she was at about 55%. Why 55%? At about 50%, the boss goes bananas. However, by using lightning at 55%, I was able to begin a combo with my threaded cane +9 that got it to about 40% and caused it to drop its head down. Then, I wailed on the head repeatedly. When it picked up its head and started doing stuff again, this head-bashing had reduced its life to about 5%. Only then did it finally get its aura and laser beams ready. It was dead before the aura could affect me or the lasers could fire. This was on NG+ (2nd time through); I am level 157. I used the 15% to max stam., all dmg. reduction by 4%, the arcane dmg. reduction by 7% (which wound up being unnecessary), and stamina recovery speed up (the best of the covenant runes by far, in my opinion). It beat me about 75 times before I tried this technique; I killed it on my second attempt using this strategy. The first time, I got it to about 10%, and the boss wised up and moved out of the hallway by the doorway and lasered me. Being in the narrow hallway, I had nowhere to dodge. On the second attempt, I timed my use of lightning paper better to preclude this from happening. I died more to Noodle-Face than all other bosses combined if that gives any solace to others.
If you're using a strength build, get the Kirkhammer (Also known as the Hammer of God Killing) fortified as much as possible. Use every buff possible (Bolt/Fire paper, Empty Phantasm Shell, Bone Marrow Ash, etc.). Try to keep your health at max as much as possible, as some of her attacks, mainly the head slams and arcane barrages, can one-shot you if she gets you on a counter. Taking the Clockwise Metamorphosis rune is helpful, as more health is always fun. Also, taking Great Lake and Lake for the physical defense helps out a lot as well, because the only non-physical attacks Noodle-Face has are easily dodged, and the Arcane Barrage will one-shot you anyway.
The fight has two phases, but the strategy should be the same for both: stay to the boss' right side and make sure NOT to lock on with the camera. You'll be able to dodge every single one of her tentacle sweep attacks this way with a fair bit of good timing on your part, and at random times, she will perform the head slam attack. This is your chance to get a charged R2 off on her with your Kirkhammer (Or whatever lesser weapon you happen to be using), which, when I used it at level 65 and with 35 strength, caused about one-sixth of her health bar in damage (Sorry, I don't remember the exact numbers). Stick with the Kirkhammer's hammer mode the whole time (Or whatever other transformed mode you have for your lesser weapon), as Ebrietas' recovery time on her tentacle sweeps is long enough to potentially get a charged R2 off if you stay on her right side and sometimes her back. While it does reduced damage when not used on her head, it will still deal a decent amount of damage. When Ebrietas is charging her constant AOE up, which occurs at around 50 percent HP, you can get another charged R2 attack on her head. If you pull it off, her health will be fairly low when the phase starts. Her attacks will be faster in the second phase but still, stick to her right side just as before. If your HP is getting low because of the AOE, you'll have plenty of time to pop a blood vial in between her tentacle sweeps. When she pauses and clenches up, she's about to cast her Arcane Barrage. The easiest way to avoid this is to just run to either your left or right, as dodging seems to be a bit...dodgy when trying to avoid this attack. Usually after this attack, you'll find yourself at medium range. She'll either use her blood spit attack or try to charge you at this point. If she charges you, DO NOT DODGE (Sorry Piccolo). Instead, run to the left or the right. Dodging this attack is incredibly tricky, and you'll almost always end up getting hit by one of her tentacles as soon as you come out of it. If she uses the blood spit attack, run as fast as you can back to the original position, avoiding the slow blood spit attacks of course. You'll have a moment to pop a vial or get in another hit once there. The one thing that can be annoying about the positioning here is when Ebrietas uses her jump/float thing, she has a chance to hit you when she moves. If she does, you'll lose a bit of health, but more importantly, you'll miss the chance to get an easy head attack on her when she lands. Another benefit of being in this position during the fight is that she won't use some of her attacks on you, such as the charge or the grab. Even if you don't have the Godhammer, staying to her right side will make the fight significantly easier.
Do not use target lock. Use a heavy-hitting weapon and concentrate only on hitting her head. Attack after her head or body slams and the single right-hand smash makes her lower her head a little too. Dodge all the other attacks and do not attack even when she merely jumps. Kirkhammer's moveset is the best since the R1 attack swings high and hits her head often even without the target lock. Keep aggressively medium distance and stay directly in front of her. Staying too far away triggers the dangerous charging attack too often and staying too close makes dodging hard. Remember always to have plenty of open space behind you so that you can dodge her charge attack and she won't squeeze you between her and a wall. When she is close to 50% health, useBolt Paper orFire Paper, and when she is about to enter her second phase smack her head to hopefully stagger her, interrupt her long Aura attack, and get aVisceral Attack. Right after the visceral attack take two steps forward and hold R2 for hammer's charge attack which often gets a free and heavy hit on her head.
For this strategy, a Beast Blood Pellet is what I found most effective for a 30 Strength and 20 Skill set with a +9Ludwig's Holy Blade. Use it as you approach, dodge into her first sweep, back up, and L2 her in the face. From here, back up as she comes back from the lesser stagger, and dodge left for her head slam. Charge and hit her with an R2. Repeat Lesser stagger using L2 when she recovers from R2. Visceral when able. Rinse and Repeat. Due to her AI, I was able to kill her without her leaving her initial combat stage. You may be able to stack a Flame/Bolt paper to do so more quickly.
I found this to be the easiest and fastest way to win this boss fight. She is extremely weak to thrust and bolt damage. This means the Rakuyo can melt her health bar away in seconds. The transformed R2 thrust attack can be spammed over and over due to the low stamina cost. Summing the Old Hunter Damian will help distract her for most of the fight. All you need to do is run behind her and fit into the nice snug space in between her... butt tentacles? Use Bolt Paper then hit R2 and only stop to either heal or run back behind her should she jump out of the way. The majority of her attacks will completely miss you. Including the all-powerfulA Call Beyond magic attack. Mainly you need to watch out for the backhand or AoE attack. Even a decently upgraded Rakuyo will deal massive damage despite not being her weak point (her head). If you get a visceral you'll most likely miss the chance but a complete combo of the R2 attacks actually will do almost as much damage. I've used this strategy a couple of times now and the fight is always over before theBolt Paper even runs out.Fire Paper works but the damage is slightly less than Bolt Paper.
((Please respect these guidelines ))
Just hang out on her left (your right) side and she can very seldom hit you. She also will mostly refrain from using the charge or overhead lasers. Just had a very boring five or so minutes chipping her health away in Great Isz.
Everything that's bad about From Software boss design in one very neat looking package
Thank GOD the Chalice version gave me 2 Blood Stone Chunks. Couldn't have wished for anything else!
Measly fire and bolt resistance, another easy win for arcane builds.
I love this game, but I swear it has the worst bosses in the Soulsborne series. I just popped BBP + Fire Paper, spammed my combo, the boss couldn't do anything, they were trying to face me (because yeah apparently by default you face their ass?) but took ages to do so, and I was also destroying parts of the body at the same time so it stunned the boss too. Boss was down in 30 seconds.
Every boss until now was a first try.
The enemies section at the bottom of the page is for nightreign's bosses
managed to clip inside her and i just kept poking her with ludwig's greatsword, pretty bullshit first try lol
I dunno what I did but I hot her left side and it stun locked her, only bringing her head down again and again. As I kept hitting her head, she wanted to vomit that green stuff and just couldn't finish the attack, literally took the second half of her health bat before she put on that weird shield.
This is just a trash boss, her charge attacks are like NOT "hard but fair" they are just UNFAIR. And her 2nd phase it totals bullshit what am I even supposed to hit and when? There are like no openings, she does not make the head slam anymore so you can die trying to get behind her without not getting hit and even if you do, she starts the lazer show.
This boss is just objectively trash!
i like this boss, the fight isnt that great especially in her second phase but i one cycled her so all's well that ends well i say.
This is the best base game boss in terms of design. The worst in terms of actual fighting satisfaction. I tend to stick so close to her that you can't really see what the hell is going on until the fight is over.
just summon damian and let him distract the boss, keep on hitting her side or backs and hit her head if possible. managed to beat her first try when she did her damage aura when she was really low
It seems to me that people that have trouble with this Boss are just actively very much either under leveled, under equipped or like in one of the max NG+, she's really not THAT bad, I'd argue that phase 2 dancer is a far worse boss to fight, especially earlier on in DS3.
what was best for be:
get really close to her left tight
attack once and wait for a response, then punish hard when the head slam comes
you will be one shot by the charge but it will be rare to come
Shredding most of her health with A Call Beyond is quite satisfying.
"You dare use my own spells against me, Hunter?"
If you really hate the boss enough to want to cheese it, I figured out a good while ago that standing so that you are roughly both about halfway past her left slug leg, and behind her left arm/tendril, will cause her to repeat the same right arm/tendril sweeping attack that never hits you, with her left arm/tendril hitbox pushing you back and helping you stay in about the right spot. Be aware that she can snap out of this cycle though, don't freak out just calmly try to read and dodge the attacks until you are back in the position.
More like Daughter of Oceiros what with those awful charge attacks.
I still have no idea how to dodge the charge. I figured out the tell but I'm not sure whether there's enough iframes to dodge the attack head on. Any ideas?
I really do not understand why people find this boss hard.
I should have done a gun build my first playthrough. Also why does every attack that inflicts frenzy always fill the bar all the way? I... if not for this 1 thing I swear-
I want to enjoy this boss, but the charge and frenzy man
After listening to her soundtrack (which is my favourite from the base game) for a thousand times, i finally got to fight her on my first playthrough and was disapointed at how many BS attacks she has.
Especially her charge attack, which literally punishes you for dodging it. Killed her on the 5th attempt.
Atleast the soundtrack is good.
Here's how the strats on this page work:
"just get between her tails": she rotates and her tails pass right through me; she hits me with an undodgeable attack with a half-mile wide hitbox and i die in two hits.
"distract her with the NPC": she kills the NPC in seconds
"shoot her in the face with the cannon": she ignores it, then slams her face down and one-shots me
"use bolt paper": i do two pixels of damage instead of one, then it runs out and i have to grind for 20 minutes to get more bolt paper.
"just run around her side": her movement code is "directionFacing = playerLocation". she is continuously facing directly at me and never, ever stops turning even during attacks. rolling is pointless because her collision box is 30 feet wide.
best boss in the series hands down
Just stay close, free aim as many attacks as you can and hit her giant moon sized head, that's really not too hard.
This boss doesn't seem so hard. I think I can-
Oh. It can inflict frenzy.
the fact that wiki tells you if she usses charge attack when you are close there is very little to do says a lot about her i hate her orphan of kos was easier for me than her
probably the best base game boss. this is the only one that has an attack that was cool and memorable
Kept getting stuck in the terrain when she did call of the beyond cause i couldnt see where i was, incredible boss 0/10
Somehow, I'm dying constantly to Bloody Crow of Cainhurst, but did this first try. I don't even.
Remember anons, she's just like your mom. Weak to thrusting.
The 2 summons don't help at all in the chalice dungeon. They are too stupid to avoid the beam
so you're telling me the dodge button doesn't make me dodge the attack?
I think the main problem with alot of the main game bosses is that they just let you hit them so much. So many of the main game bosses just let you spam r1 and then dodge whatever swings they throw. Alot of them could've been way more challenging and fun if they had fewer openings and more moves to punish you if you get to their sides/back. Especially with this boss whenever she does the head slam attack its just like 5 free hits with no risk involved.
Ebrietas in Cathedral Ward: I sleep
Ebrietas in Chalice Dungeon: Real sheet?
I got a glitch where I hit the boss with Ludwig's two handed strong attack so hard that I got sucked into the anus of the boss and in there I could not move, nor take damage but could damage the boss. I don't know whether this is repeatable, but sure was funny af.
Not too bad a fight. Won 2nd try with a +7 Beast Claw & Bolt Papers at BL70. Just gotta get in behind her and start tearing it up
If you're running a bloodtinge build then this is a fairly easy boss, altar of despair and Isz chalice. With 50 bloodtinge and upgraded Evelyn and bone marrow ash I had trouble at all. Both fights were over pretty quickly.
It's so funny that people complain a lot about dark souls 2 hitboxes and then give a total pass to this boss, her hitboxes are awful and make no sense
Maybe this comment gets a lot of dislikes, but I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to make myself big in any way.
But I'm very impressed by the number of people who have had great difficulty with this boss. In my first attempt, using Rifle Spear +10 with charge attacks (charged R2), this boss was easier than normal enemies in the game. I didn't even know that Ebrietas could use 'a call beyond' because I didn't even see her use this attack.
This shows how relative Bloodborne can be in relation to player builds.
F*ck you, game.
I don't want to fight her but it's the only way to obtain Isz Chalice.
F*ck you definitely.
I wasted lots of blood vials and bolt paper and I still heaven't found a consistent way to kill her. She always manages to surprise me with the worst attack possible at the worst moment.
Love fully clearing her charge attack and instantly dying anyway
I do a run of bloodborne every so often and this time I could not be ****ed with the chalice dungeons, so I decided to just leave poor Ebrietas to mourn that fossilised spider, at least that’s what I always thought. Feel sad for this one in a way.
The Great Isz Chalice mentions it was used by the choir to have audience with her. I wonder if what you fight in the cathedral is merely a projection of her and the fight in the chalice dungeon is the real her. Or perhaps before she dies at the cathedral she uses the chalice to flee. I just always found it weird that there are two of her, root dungeons excluded.
Seeing certain other web pages I was kinda excepting here to have "seven vaginas...imagine" comments. I'm glad I was wrong.
Pretty easy boss, killed her 1st try. Just summon the npc and let him take most of the attention until the boss does the head slam thing and then you go and attack his head (either it was ez or my build is broken)
Defeated her overleved (BL 100) and with a +9 tonitrus. It felt like I missed a great part of the game. The whole upper cathedral felt boring. I might do this section of the game earlier in a different character
I know how to beat her, learnt her moves, but still die loads before actually defeating her. Such a random fight. Each attempt always slightly different.
I wonder what she will be like in the Re-Make / Re-Master? Will they adjust anything (charge attack) or leave as-is? Looking forward to trying it, if it ever happens :)
Did this boss incredibly overleveled (BL 140) and was disappointed how easy it was, just took a couple shots to the head to stagger at that point.
Dont lock on, stay very close to her, basically touching her chest but kinda to your right side. There is a sweet spot where she has troubles hitting you. If you keep spamming light attack she will rarely do anything dangerous. For the second part of fight where she becomes more dangerous use a bolt paper to increase your dmg and take her down quickly. Good luck hunters.
One of the easiest bosses. Just stand between legs and r1 spam transformed LHS. Bolt paper speeds it up.
Beat the normal one in my first try but the chalice dungeon version took over 19. That ****ing charge she does is busted.
I hope every last one of you that say “don’t lock on” step on the sharpest Lego. Lock on is the only viable thing against this actual moving bed of chaos. C tier boss at best for me boys and girls.
A macaroni monster that filters scrubs through a colander. What did Miyazaki mean by this
whirligig saw, beast blood pellet, bolt paper and watch her hp melt
Why was the Chalice Dungeon Ebrietas so much more difficult or was it just me?
40 bloodtinge, Evelyn +10 and BMA made this pathetically easy.
In my opinion this is the worst boss in the main game because of how much damage she does and her charge do not go here if you have low vigor
Even though Kos/m grants us eyes,
Even though Formless Odeon succours the meek,
Even though Rom guards us from the Paleblood Moon,
Ebrietas helps us directly by way of Her Augur, an ever-present weapon against the Beasts, if you can find it.
I see no reason to fight her, the White Dragoness 'neath the Cathedral Ward, no matter how sweet Her blood may be...
Tbh the hardest part of this fight for me was knowing when she cast a call beyond because she's always making that annoying noise. I had to read body language and even then if you notice too late your prob toast. It's best when you suspect to just run in a half circle in front of her or just run around her as this guide states. It's also a nightmare fighting the camera on this but still possible to fight her, and staying behind and to the side isn't as hard as it seems. Healing through all the aoe spam is a bit rough but just involves decent timings if needed.
She is definitely the hardest main game boss. When I first beat her a while ago (after like 15 tries) and I took a moment to breathe and it turned out I got an std from the fight and i died of frenzy like 6 seconds later. I guess she got to take me with her.
+10 beasthunter saif (from dlc) combined with fire paper and NPC hunter lead to an easy kill on ng+
Fun fact, Ebrietas is actually the surname of Lithuanian cameraman who's the real boss in this battle. Want to fight on hard mode? Use lock on, Ebrietas is going to go bananas with camerawork every other attack.
I heard she was a difficult fight before I fought her so I was kinda nervous when I got to her, but despite dying a dozen times I really did not find her that difficult. I was confused, but now reading the attacks she has I see somehow I got lucky since she did not use a couple of them at all in every fight
To easily beat the Great Isz Chalice version, have a +10 Saw Cleaver with your best gems and a bolt paper. Executioners Garb. Old Hunter’s Bone. Tiny tonitris. Lock on and bait its head slam. Attack the head. Use Old Hunters Bone when it does its arcane attack. In 2nd phase, use transformed Saw Cleaver for more damage and better reach. Can usually get off 2 hits with it. Tiny tonitiris if you can’t get close enough.
Staying between her tails and moving with her to stay behind her the whole time worked for me to first try her. Just stay behind where it's safe and hardly take any damage, I know the head may be a weak spot but sometimes avoiding damage is (often) more important and staying behind her works great for that, I only used a couple vials the whole fight
For me what worked first try and had me hardly take any damage was staying between her tails, turn as she turns to stay behind the whole time and using charged r2s (hunter axe) into the back half of her body seemed quite safe and the fight was over in a minute or two.
I know the head is the weak spot but sometimes dealing less damage in exchange for being in a safer spot and taking less damage is a good approach
Plus you can summon help near the entrance to the boss room if you want
I walked in between the tails(legs?) And just R2 poked with Ludwig's sword until she died, didn't get hit once.
Was way overpowered for this fight 1st tried in 50 seconds lol. 3 cursed gems on a +10 pizza wheel. good times.
Idk if anyone said this already but do NOT lock on to her. Stay hugged to her right side (or left if that suits you). Keep her rotating trying to hit you. Wail on her and heal as needed.
She's strong against blunt, weak against thrust. I used the threaded cane +9 in cane form. Bolt paper. I did not stop attacking unless I needed health or stamina, or to sprint during her light beam.
I wore the choir set. High arcane defense for her bullshit light beam ****. Great lake + anit-clockwise + clockwise runes. Simple stuff.
Fear the old blood.
