Same here i hated this fight with every fiber of my being and i still struggle with it more than any other boss in the franchise, its more of a battle of attrition and you need to take your time with it, first time i ever beat Laurence i was crying utter tears of joy
No boss has never made me want to break my controller so badly before, hardest boss in bloodborne IMO. I can get him to his third phase but for some reason I just can't kill him. Everytime I circle around him in his third phase he finds some way to 1 shot me.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but every single time I go in for an attack and try to get away, I always always get stuck in his fists pounding against the floor when he's crawling. And if I try to stay away from him and wait for him to shoot the fire breath, it's usually very hard to get around him when I'm getting backed up too much against the other side of the room.
You could try backing up a bit to bait the ranged attack but maybe don't back up the length of the full arena. Just a decent distance that baits the ranged attack. Then you should be able to get to him in time. Or. Stay at his side when he does the claw crawl. And try to stick to his side as much as possible whilst he does that crawl.
@@Azzavhar Oh yeah, meant to report back but forgot: the "donut" method worked like a charm. Took a few tries even after getting to that phase, but staying by his left side made that attack a breeze to dodge. The only times he was able to hit me after that was when he swiped me and I wasn't read to dodge in the correct direction. Thank you very much for the help, it was way less frustrating now that I knew how to deal with the crawling.
It required so much focus, commitment and sheer fking will that by the time I finally won, I was mentally drained asf. The feeling of joy, relief and exhaustion mixed forcing me take a few deep breaths and rest my mind for a bit. Honestly bloodborne is the first game to make me focus so much and feel so many emotions at the same time!
you'll get it soon enough. keep up the good work. You may also enjoy my Bloodborne boss guides: th-cam.com/play/PLqpGk7JGu_zwlFY8MzngpJ1xaO1MISCbb.html
First 25 tries I kept trying to get behind, but soon after I realized it's better to stay in front and have a better view of when he does his triple sweep combos. Get right in front of him to bait his triple pound attack, which gives a big opening to hit after the third hit. Stay away when he does his sweep attack combos. I INSTANTLY went from being unable to get past half HP to getting to 1/8 HP after changing my strategy from getting behind to staying in front and being more selective with when I put in hits. Just simply don't get near or try to hit during his sweep combos because those are impossible to deal with unless you're really good. I finally beat him at 32 tries, only 7 tries after changing strategy.
I also did that (locked on onto him) but his swipe attacks, I can't dodge through it, that's why it is very difficult to fight him at close range. There is also that BS that after he finishes an attack, he jumps back, leaving player unable to punish him, it is frustrating.
@@deathrodamus9608 Just stand back and run around the arena during the swipes. Baiting the three smash attack combo which does leave an opening is the core of the front side method. It might seem like it will take long but it doesnt. Basically only getting near to bait the smash combo.
I was stupid and finished the base game first, then I saw that the dlc was on sale. Now I have to beat this bullshit boss on new game plus. I got him down to a slither of health and then got greedy and died😂🤦🏽♂️
@@Azzavhar eventually got it and then went on to easily first try living failures and lady maria😂 I honestly thought I was going to struggle on Maria but she was so easy
Once I got the skull of lawrence, I headed to his boss fight. I summoned the dude that you can summon on ludwig and I managed to end him on my first try. He always did moves that left him wide open? So Im considering it was all luck.
I'm on NG+2 I beat him on NG+1 by pure luck, didn't do the DLC on Base game, and now I am watching this video because of his instant turn attack on Phase 3 that keeps instant killing me
Now, after seeing this video, I've consumed too much insight and gone mad ( I can't even get past the first phase now after getting to phase three every single time before viewing this video)
Hey. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Sometimes taking a break from the battle and coming back later can help a lot. It clears your head and refreshes you. Thank you for watching.
Playing Bloodborne for the first time only 36hrs in and nearly got platinum. This boss had the upper hand on me a few times but the way I look at it is if I can whoop Melania on Elden Ring can whoop any boss on the soulsborne franchise
I played DS1 & DS2, and I can't stop comparing Bloodborne to Dark Souls, the combat is just way too different and I struggle to adapt (my fault, I know, but sometimes there are bosses that seemed unfair to fight, I've beaten the Fume Knight Raime in DS2, but only Father Gascoigne made me throw my controller). The Bosses in DS have a generous window after their attack that the player can exploit, but man! Bloodborne is different for me, I see very little window for me to punish a Boss. I think Miyazaki designed the game so that the terrifying Boss' screams distract players, I'm one of them, God! that awful screams. I fought Ludwig with little sound as possible.
I just beat Laurence. I saved him for last because he's kind of responsible for the main story of Bloodborne so he felt pretty appropriate as the final boss of the DLC. Also I had a lot of anger pent up from fighting the Orphan that I wanted to take out on Laurence. That said I found Laurence significantly easier than the Orphan. First half of the fight, I fought him straight up with the Chikage, and once his stupid legs blew off I just shot him with arrows from the Bowblade until he died. Laurence is the only boss I used a ranged weapon against in any significant way but I was in no mood. I killed him and Orphan on the same day. W BLOODBORNE!
I found it much more effective to dodge in a clockwise rotation around the boss to get to his back and then back off, wait for him to around turn around, and repeat. Legless phase I lock onto him and spam the side dodge sticking to his smaller arm typically. I like to bait out his lava vomit attacks and side dash to get to his head and attack. His moveset isn’t very complex, his damage makes this a slog for people.
I beat this dude first try but on NG+ he is killing me in just 2 hits 😂 I know I can learn his patterns but the road back to this boss is just too much that's why I am watching this video 😂
My fights go better than this already so that is encouraging I guess because it just shows that once in a while you get lucky no matter how terrible you are so I guess I'll get lucky here sometime probably much quicker than this person here

yeah this fight sucks so bad, such an awfully designed RESKIN… took me more attempts than all other dlc bosses, and the attacks are just telegraphed so poorly. don’t even get me started on the 2nd phase
@@Azzavhar thank you! it took me a few days, but i eventually got it down and beat him. probably the most difficult time i’ve had with a boss in bloodborne
I‘m here at ng+++ at lv 190. beaten every other boss of the dlc but need to kill this guy for the trophy. I am using the help from vargl but he dies at P3 every time and it’s getting impossible because this guy is one shotting me with almost every hit :D
So I played all of the dlc on NG+ and honestly Laurence may be the hardest boss I’ve played in any of the soulsborne games. His hp is ludicrous and he does crazy damage. As of writing this I still haven’t beat him after roughly 3-4 hours
@@Freesliterature Nice work. I'm glad you got your win. That must have felt awesome. 👍 Thank you for watching my videos ✅ And thank you for your support. 👑 💯
Finally beat this dunce after 40 or something tries. First 39 attempts I was around level 78, so I decided to spend the next day to farm and be overleveled. On the third day I beat him first try since I'm lvl 100, and with Valtr, too. But I don't care. I hate this boss with all my being. Good story, excellent soundtrack, but shite battle. Definitely not fighting him again on NG+.
Hoonters, keep in mind, these are all great strats, but it’s still not going to be “easy”. I used these strategies in my ng+ run through the dlc (first time playing the dlc) and they did help, BUT it’s still an incredibly annoying fight due to the awkward size of the arena (long but narrow) and just how long Lawrences third phase can last if he’s not doing the lava spew. I found it a more frustrating fight than orphan but, crucially, not more difficult. Just be patient and willing to learn the timing of the attacks, they’re not too hard but you really gotta stay focused
NG+ axe +10 and messed up my stats because when i startee played this i dont know the logic of proper builds but im lvl 180 now with strength 60 skill 50 vitality 70 endurance 40, are there summons nearby?
Hey. I'm not 100% sure about an NPC summon. Sorry. I think if you have some kind of rune equipped, you might get access to an NPC summon. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
Bro 80 Vitality? WTF? Your dedication to leveling up is very impressive, I'm stuck fighting him and I only have 40 Vitality with 40 Skill build and maxed out Threaded Cane. My damage to him is just a tickle, without the beast blood pellet.
That final phase is so much easier. Three times he took me to beat. Third try was the first attempt i got to his final phase. Bait him to do that flamethrower attack and then punish.
I don’t get how you don’t get hit by his lava spray in phase 3. I get hit everytime which makes this impossible. I try running or dodging to the side but it doesn’t matter. I always get hit.
@@Azzavhar yeah I almost had him a few times but he seems to track me with the spray when trying to run around to his side on phase 3. Im on NG+ so I heard bosses are harder. I think I’m going to continue the NG+ main game story until I can upgrade my saw spear to 10. I was fighting him with a +8 saw spear. Also try to get my strength and skill both to 50. They are at 45 or 46 now.
This boss is a load of bs. He hits me even when he shouldnt. I cant dodge any attack unless i am flat out just out of his attack range completely. I have been literally pulled from behind him to be grabbed.
@Azzavhar I am already overleveled as is. He just doesn't function the same way that I see in every other video. He won't swing the same way and I can't tell how many sweeps he does becaus she alternates between 2, 3, and 4 and if I am not right there when he stops I miss out on attack him. Hell my last run had him just spamming his body flop constantly and it locks on so I can't dodge it and he one shots me. He is just a bad boss. I know he is optional snd I get no real benefit from fighting him but it makes no sense watching these videos and watching him act so differently in my game
I’m trying this dlc in my ng+1 I had already completed the base game and now bought the DLC I’m stuck with Laurence but every other boss has been easy for me so far. I think I just don’t know how to fight beast bosses. (I’m also stuck with BLB in the chalice dungeons)
Well can someone help me I use the eye pendant and got up to upper floor using the elevator and then I use the hunter mark now.. I can't access the upper floor is there anyway that you can access the upper floor
Maybe if you pretend that that you won’t take damage from his aoe you can stand right in the middle of it and be fine… I swear it’s as if the AOE does no damage in every TH-cam tutorial I see!
I know you have already beaten this boss but for the people that are curious i am at Level 160 and i dont feel overleveled at all. In a matter of fact i am still struggling against Lawrence and Orphan. So if you plan on play the DLC on NG+ try to get level 160 or even higher if you want.
@ I got it done. Just studied its attack pattern during the final phase. Got a few hits in when Laurence left an opening then backed off 🤣 The Church Pick was clutch 🎮
@@blublugamingchannel You could always level grind for a while. Grind enemies. Level up loads. Go back after raising your stats a bit. Make sure your weapons are all upgraded to maximum. Try again after checking some of your equipment, gear and levelling up a bit. Good luck. 🍀
Agree he killed me 70 times in a row and I refuse to summon. I Gave up on the game . At least Ludwig was fun and fair and you could get the rhythm down
Yeah, the fire AOE is BS, and the window to punish him after his attacks in his phase 1 & 2 is very little. And don't forget that backward jump too after an attack, it is impossible to land an attack on him.
@@gnielsen07 Ludwig gave me a hard time, his phase 1 is insane, the amount of attack he does is just crazy, all I can do is run. Managed to beat his ass tho, it took a while. After beating him, I immediately bashed his head without talking to him, that's how much I hated the guy, I don't care about his lore, I just want him dead, period.
I dont no why but i mostly beat him in first attempt. I just yeet to his ass and spam dodge, attack, dodge and attack and then phase three comes and i just do things
Really? I tried standing to his sides and back in phase 1 & 2, but his side swipes attacks still get me. And that delayed ground slam with the BS AOE is hard to dodge, if I manage to dodge the slam, the freaking fire AOE will get me.
@@TonnieD024 mano eu basicamente só derrotei ele usando duas runas marca da garra para obter 50% a mais de dano viceral para derrotá-lo além de pegar o tempo da maioria dos vicerais da 1 fase e só dava viceral em 1 ataque da segunda fase demorei muito para derrotá-lo e agora estou na merda do Laurence obs : estou no ng+4
@@Azzavhar the arena is too narrow for his wide attacks and the lava trailing behind him stun locking you constantly is just artificial difficulty.

Definitely not fighting him again on NG+.
Hey. Excellent work!! Thanks for sharing your battle tips with us here. Thank you for watching.
Is this happening to you? Yes sir 💯
Hey. I hope my guides help you! Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
iam level 120 .50 vitality and he still one shot me whats the point of leveling up i dont understand§!!§!!!!
Oh damn. Yeah this boss hits insanely hard. Does a lot of damage.
I was able to beat all the bosses exacept hook I just can’t get near him on his second phase
Good luck. You got this.
Ice had a hyper aggresive playstyle, got ludvig in 6 tries maria first, this guy im on my 25th try…
Hey. Keep fighting on. You got this. Thank you for watching.
NG+4 he one shots me daym
Uh oh 😮 😳 Savage! Keep fighting onwards. You got this.
Hoonters, keep in mind, these are all great strats, but it’s still not going to be “easy”. I used these strategies in my ng+ run through the dlc (first time playing the dlc) and they did help, BUT it’s still an incredibly annoying fight due to the awkward size of the arena (long but narrow) and just how long Lawrences third phase can last if he’s not doing the lava spew. I found it a more frustrating fight than orphan but, crucially, not more difficult. Just be patient and willing to learn the timing of the attacks, they’re not too hard but you really gotta stay focused
Hey. Nice one. Thank you for watching.
NG+ axe +10 and messed up my stats because when i startee played this i dont know the logic of proper builds but im lvl 180 now with strength 60 skill 50 vitality 70 endurance 40, are there summons nearby?
Hey. I'm not 100% sure about an NPC summon. Sorry. I think if you have some kind of rune equipped, you might get access to an NPC summon. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
As a sub-par gamer I thought this was great and definitely helped. Full disclosure - the old Hunter Bone item makes his first phase a cake walk 😅
Hey. Ah, brilliant. That's cool. Thank you for watching.
I’m literally lvl 257 with 80 vitality and I’m getting one shoted this is impossible
He is really tough
Bro 80 Vitality? WTF? Your dedication to leveling up is very impressive, I'm stuck fighting him and I only have 40 Vitality with 40 Skill build and maxed out Threaded Cane. My damage to him is just a tickle, without the beast blood pellet.
@@deathrodamus9608 i mean he could just used the chalice for the blood echoes but if he grinded all hes a madman
That final phase is so much easier. Three times he took me to beat. Third try was the first attempt i got to his final phase. Bait him to do that flamethrower attack and then punish.
Hey. Yeah; bait him to do that flamethrower attack and then punish is a really useful strategy. Thank you for watching.
I don’t get how you don’t get hit by his lava spray in phase 3. I get hit everytime which makes this impossible. I try running or dodging to the side but it doesn’t matter. I always get hit.
Hey. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
@@Azzavhar yeah I almost had him a few times but he seems to track me with the spray when trying to run around to his side on phase 3. Im on NG+ so I heard bosses are harder. I think I’m going to continue the NG+ main game story until I can upgrade my saw spear to 10. I was fighting him with a +8 saw spear. Also try to get my strength and skill both to 50. They are at 45 or 46 now.
@@A_Dad Yeah that sounds like a good plan. If you come back to the fight after doing a few of those things then you should be sorted. ✅
Beat orphan but cant even *see* laurence.
Hey. He is back near the start of the DLC. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
@@Azzavhar no, I know where he is, I can't see him bc of the abomination that is this lock on camera
@@TheArtDev Ah, I see what you mean!! 😂
His final phase is what makes me pissed
He is very tough. You can do it. Keep fighting on 💪
@@Azzavhar thanks bro
@@garrettcarmichael1119 😁👍
This boss is a load of bs. He hits me even when he shouldnt. I cant dodge any attack unless i am flat out just out of his attack range completely. I have been literally pulled from behind him to be grabbed.
Hey. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
@Azzavhar Nah this he doesn't even do moves correctly. The attack patterns aren't matching at all.
@@SageOfLimitlessHands if you are mega struggling I would recommend grinding level ups and coming back to him later. 🎉
@Azzavhar I am already overleveled as is. He just doesn't function the same way that I see in every other video. He won't swing the same way and I can't tell how many sweeps he does becaus she alternates between 2, 3, and 4 and if I am not right there when he stops I miss out on attack him. Hell my last run had him just spamming his body flop constantly and it locks on so I can't dodge it and he one shots me. He is just a bad boss. I know he is optional snd I get no real benefit from fighting him but it makes no sense watching these videos and watching him act so differently in my game
Even at level 102 it took me 8-10 tries to beat him, and honestly got lucky in the end with no bloodviles left and one hit from dying 😅🔥
Nice one. That was close. I bet your heart was racing wasn't it. 👍 Thanks for watching
Nice one. That was close. I bet your heart was racing wasn't it. 👍 Thanks for watching
8-10 only, I wish that was the case on ng+
I'm here because my friend can't beat him on NG+ 😂
Hey. It is nice of you to help your friend. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
I'm doing this with a threaded cane. Pray for me
Hey. Keep fighting on You got this. Thank you for watching.
I’m trying this dlc in my ng+1 I had already completed the base game and now bought the DLC I’m stuck with Laurence but every other boss has been easy for me so far. I think I just don’t know how to fight beast bosses. (I’m also stuck with BLB in the chalice dungeons)
Hey. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. You could also try grinding level ups for a while. Thank you for watching.
I just used the cannon glitch on him , screwwwww this guy
Hey. Nice one. Yeah I've heard that glitch is crazy powerful. Thank you for watching.
I was fighting him for almost 2 hours and he always beat me in 3rd phase. But I know I will defeat him.😊
Hey. Keep fighting on You got this. Thank you for watching.
@@Azzavhar I'll use your advice ☺️
@@spiderdog86 Brilliant news 😁👍
@@Azzavhar lack of patience resulted in my ass getting kicked😂 if only I had used bolt paper, I would have won as boss had like 10% of HP.
@@spiderdog86 Yeah bolt paper can really help out. ✅ Definitely. You got this. 🎉 🎉
I BEAT HIM! I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT GOD!!
Brilliant work 🔥 Well done. ✅
It's the third phase on having trouble with man I'm really good up until then
Hey. Keep fighting on. You got this. Thank you for watching.
Well can someone help me I use the eye pendant and got up to upper floor using the elevator and then I use the hunter mark now.. I can't access the upper floor is there anyway that you can access the upper floor
you mean at the giant elevator platform? I think there should be a lever close by. look for a lever.
Ah thank you after checking the elevator again i just realise that there is a second elevator that will come down after pulling the lever
@@memethecat2721 No worries. Best of luck to you, Hunter. ✅
Whirligig saw + atk Vs beast gem. You're welcome
Hey. Nice one. Thank you for watching.
I beat lady Maria at first try vut Laurence is kinda killing me every single time (i did only like 5 attempts yet)
Hey 👋 Good luck. You can do it. We believe in you.
@@Azzavhar Hunter must hunt. I will beat his ass
@@dawidadamaszwili6064 💪💪💪
@@Azzavhar ok laurence is dead, now i have problem with the 4th pthumeru chalice
@@dawidadamaszwili6064 Brilliant work :) Good to hear you got this win. Good stuff.
Maybe if you pretend that that you won’t take damage from his aoe you can stand right in the middle of it and be fine… I swear it’s as if the AOE does no damage in every TH-cam tutorial I see!
Oh damn. Good luck.
I can't fight him in close range (and in front of him) because of that stupid fire AOE.
I must be in ng+ or something because some of his attacks just one shot me even tho I have 1692 hp. This is my first time fighting him too so fml
You got this. Keep fighting on.
Level recommendation for ng+?
edit: I got him finally
Hey 👋 Nice work. Congratulations 🎉 🎉 & I have actually never ran a NG+ on Bloodborne; so I'm not really too sure. ✅
I know you have already beaten this boss but for the people that are curious i am at Level 160 and i dont feel overleveled at all. In a matter of fact i am still struggling against Lawrence and Orphan. So if you plan on play the DLC on NG+ try to get level 160 or even higher if you want.
It’s straight bs that in ng+ and in phase 2 he just one shots you with random swipe all the time
Oh damn. That sounds rough. Keep fighting on 💪 You got this 💪
I've been sitting here for 3 hours 😠 😡 😤
Good luck. You got this. Keep on fighting. 👍💪
@@Azzavhar I finally got him!!! NG+ first time fight with that punk!! Lol, had my son cheering me on the whole time 😆 🤣
@@Infinite.Worldz aha nice one! great work! :) I'd say it was your son cheering you on that was the deciding factor in your victory. aha :)
Laurence’s final phase 🤬
Hey. Keep fighting on. Don't give up. You got this. Thank you for watching.
@ I got it done. Just studied its attack pattern during the final phase. Got a few hits in when Laurence left an opening then backed off 🤣 The Church Pick was clutch 🎮
@@QuietstormRB Hey. Nice one. Excellent work!!
bloodborne babbeee
*makes cleric beast screech sounds*
Ng+ makes this hell
Some bosses they just made way too hard in ng+. Micolash, Ludwig, Laurence, etc.
Keep fighting on 💪 You got this 💪🎉

@@blublugamingchannel I'm really happy to hear I could help you out! ✅ Thanks so much for watching. 🔥 I hope the battle is going well for you now. 😁 👍
@@Azzavhar lost an hour an a half right now to him again, phase 3 is where he kills me
@@blublugamingchannel You could always level grind for a while. Grind enemies. Level up loads. Go back after raising your stats a bit. Make sure your weapons are all upgraded to maximum. Try again after checking some of your equipment, gear and levelling up a bit. Good luck. 🍀
If anyone is still playing on PS4, let's join up or try a pvp, I've never gotten invaded by real people.:

Sounds good 👍
Could they have made the runback ANY worse 🙄

@Azzavhar ik I'm years late but I finished the dlc earlier let's gooo
@@lewimillionzYT ayyyy congratulations 🎉 That's awesome. Great work. ✨ What game is next on your agenda? Another FromSoftware game?
@@Azzavhar finally gonna get round to ghost of tsushima heard its good so finally picked it up
@@lewimillionzYT Nice. Enjoy. Yes it's amazing 😍 😍
this is basically bs, splash damage and barely any time to get out from near him. bs
Agree he killed me 70 times in a row and I refuse to summon. I Gave up on the game . At least Ludwig was fun and fair and you could get the rhythm down
good luck. you got this :) keep on fighting.
Yeah, the fire AOE is BS, and the window to punish him after his attacks in his phase 1 & 2 is very little. And don't forget that backward jump too after an attack, it is impossible to land an attack on him.
@@gnielsen07 Ludwig gave me a hard time, his phase 1 is insane, the amount of attack he does is just crazy, all I can do is run. Managed to beat his ass tho, it took a while. After beating him, I immediately bashed his head without talking to him, that's how much I hated the guy, I don't care about his lore, I just want him dead, period.
I dont no why but i mostly beat him in first attempt. I just yeet to his ass and spam dodge, attack, dodge and attack and then phase three comes and i just do things
Excellent news
Really? I tried standing to his sides and back in phase 1 & 2, but his side swipes attacks still get me. And that delayed ground slam with the BS AOE is hard to dodge, if I manage to dodge the slam, the freaking fire AOE will get me.
will a 99 skill and 99 strength help in this fight?
Yes. Yes it will.
@@Azzavhar I hope because I am pulling my hair out fighting this fire covered creep. Both Laurence and orphan are pains in the asses. Lol
@@williamjamesayers7719 Yeah they are really harsh boss battles.
@@Azzavhar My favorite enemy to fight is Lady Maria and the Witch is the worst.
How u got all that dmg
I think my character sheet is shown in the video. Info is there.
Azza please I'm brutacus123 could you help me with Lawrence

@@williamm.sv1 Nice one. Congrats on your win :)
This boss sucks. Literally just the first boss of the game but with fire and worst

This is such a bad boss its un believable

Nah this boss sucks. Getting to it is annoying enough. Fuck the trophy and this game both
Keep fighting on 💪 You can do it 💪
This dude is really annoying on ng+
I can imagine NG+ must be tough.
@@Azzavhar yea, im at the orphan of kos now cant even hit him in his second phase hahaha
@@TonnieD024 You got this. 💪🎉✅
@@TonnieD024 mano eu basicamente só derrotei ele usando duas runas marca da garra para obter 50% a mais de dano viceral para derrotá-lo além de pegar o tempo da maioria dos vicerais da 1 fase e só dava viceral em 1 ataque da segunda fase demorei muito para derrotá-lo e agora estou na merda do Laurence obs : estou no ng+4
Easily... xDDDD
Hey. Thank you for watching.
This boss is so disappointing. Terrible boss fight and terrible 3rd phase. Just bad design all around.
Not a fan? Fair. This boss can be a pain.
@@Azzavhar the arena is too narrow for his wide attacks and the lava trailing behind him stun locking you constantly is just artificial difficulty. I do admit I was salty when I made this comment but I ended up finally beating him lol. Easily the worst boss in the DLC, and I'm never fighting him again lol
@@cantu7214 Congratulations on your victory 🙌 🎉 Great work 👍
Basically u just have to git good to beat Laurence 😆
You'll get the win in time. Hard work and learning will get you a victory. ✅👍
