Bloodborne Laurence The First Vicar What Is His Dmg Movie

Laurence is a much more enigmatic figure, especially for a character so important. From the Beast skull in the Grand Cathedral, the PC Hunter witnesses a memory of an encounter between Laurence and Willem, in which Willem accuses the younger Laurence of betraying him. A note left on the Cathedral staircase reads: ”Place your hand on the altar's sacred covering, and inscribe Master Laurence's adage upon your flesh.” That Laurence would be revered so highly infers that he must have been a very significant figure in the Healing Church. It is well documented that the Healing Church has its roots in Byrgenwerth College. The Byrgenwerth Student Uniform states:

The Healing Church has its roots in Byrgenwerth, and naturally borrows heavily from its uniform design. The focus not on knowledge. or thought. but on pure pretension would surely bring Master Willem to despair, if only he knew.'

As Laurence was revered highly by the Healing Church and betrayed Master Willem, this leads credence to the theory that Laurence was in fact one of the Church's founders, splitting from Byrgenwerth in an event that I will later describe as The Schism. [The Paleblood Hunt by “Redgrave”]

Fading Lake runes and equipment with high fire defense such as the Charred Hunter set will help cut down the damage from Laurence's slacks. Alternately, Clawmark runes will allow you to end the fight faster with powerful visceral attacks; you may also opt to stack Communion or Oedon Writhe runes in order to carry more ammunition or Blood Vials. Bring a few Lead Elixirs for the second phase of the the fight as these can be incredibly useful for preventing the lava from stunlocking you; if you've already obtained the Loch Shield, consider bringing it along as well to block the AoEs. Any serrated weapon such as the Beast Cutter or Saw Cleaver will be effective, but the Whirligig Saw's multi-hit jump attack and sustained L2 chain in transformed mode make it an especially good choice. Laurence is subject to the damage bonuses from Beasthunter gems, so attaching three of these to one of the aforementioned weapons will maximize your damage potential against him; however, elemental weapon buffs such as Bolt Paper are largely ineffective. Single-shot firearms like the Hunter Pistol and Evelyn are very useful for injuring Laurence's head and staggering him, especially when powered up with Bone Marrow Ash; the Cannon and Church Cannon are much less efficient for this purpose due to the high risk of a missed shot. If you have met Valtr in the Forbidden Woods and are equipped with the Impurity rune, you can summon him just inside the cathedral door to assist you.

The first phase of this battle will play out much like the fight with the original Cleric Beast, though Laurence is by no means a mere clone and in fact has a number of unique tricks in his arsenal. First and foremost, the majority of his attacks either leave lingering trails of flame or create explosions on impact. Laurence becomes a completely different enemy during the second phase, at which point his lower body will melt away and leave only his torso and head, in this form his severed abdomen continuously leaves a trail of damaging lava as he moves and he will begin using and entirely different set of attacks from Phase 1. His moveset is far more limited during the second phase but also less familiar and predictable, consisting of crawling slam combos, delayed arm swipes and attacks that cover large areas in lingering pools of lava.

Target Laurence's head with pistols or the Piercing Rifle to stagger him, then follow through with a visceral attack. Staggering him works in exactly the same manner as with the original Cleric Beast; he will eventually repair the damage to his head, allowing you to injure it and stager him again. You can also injure Laurence's limbs, but unlike most other bosses this will only stun him temporarily and does not actually increase the damage he receives. The Whirligig Saw's transformed L2 attack will quite literally tear Laurence to shreds, especially if you've also set it with Beasthunter gems; fast weapons with serrated bonus such as Saw Cleaver and the Saw Spear are also ideal for dishing out heavy damage as quickly as possible. If you are having trouble with the lava stunlocking you to death during Phase 2, try using a Lead Elixir - it'll give you enough super armor to walk through the flames without flinching, though you'll need to keep a close eye on your HP. The Loch Shield will absorb the impact and most of the damage from his AoEs, though it is NOT effective for blocking the actual physical swings themselves.

You'll face Laurence in a rectangular hall identical to Yharnam's Grand Cathedral, where you originally faced Vicar Amelia. Keeping the fight to the room's long axis and taking care not to back yourself into the corners is crucial, you'll need to be especially wary of the pilasters jutting out of the walls at intervals as you can become caught on these while skirting the edges of the hall. If Laurence backs into a corner or against a wall, lure him back toward the center of the room so that you have enough space to dodge his attacks.

Location	Requirement
Valtr Confederate: Laurence, the First Vicar in Hunter's Nightmare: In plain sight just inside the door of the Grand Cathedral.	You must not have killed Valtr in the Forbidden Woods. You must be equipped with the 'Impurity' rune. Must have obtained Laurence's Skull from the altar elevator.
With patch v1.07 you are able to summon NPCs to come to your aid, just like cooperative play, including inside Chalice Dungeons. To do so, first you will need to acquire the “Old Hunter Bell” from the messengers in the Hunter’s Dream. In some areas you may be able to summon up to two NPC Hunters.
Note: When you summon Valtr, he will appear wearing his helmet and will be identified as 'Valtr, Master of the League' until you have completed his quest and obtained the Master's One-Eyed Iron Helm. From this point onward he will be summoned as 'Valtr, Beast Eater' and will appear without his helmet. He is stronger as 'Beast Eater' so it's worth completing his quest before summoning him for these fights.
