You really thought you just disturb a man just peacefully looking into the sky or some say kosm and he wouldn't beat the shit out of you with his mom's placenta?
8:26 "I paid for this game, when is it my turn to play it!??!!" LOL 😂 (Loses sanity) Goes swinging as Spider-Man. (Returns, then loses sanity once more.) When my guy wins against Orphan I will give him a standing ovation...
5:20: "What's it coming out of?" Remember Micolash, the insane guy in the Nightmare of Mensis/Ya'hargul that you had to chase down, who was yammering away about Kos (or some say Kosm)? That's Kos -- or rather, Kos's corpse. The Byrgenwerth hunters killed her (and the Fishing Village residents who worshiped her), and the Hunters are cursed to be drawn into the nightmare as a result. The Orphan is Kos's child. Another cool thing about the Orphan is that it is a Great One that fights like a Hunter---really fitting for this area/DLC's themes. And yes, its scythe/weapon is its placenta. You can get the spiky dude's set/weapon via a sidequest and dialogue (the dude is in the prison area). Simon's quest also leads to a weapon too. I'm not sure if you can by this point in the DLC, though. But yeah, the Orphan's reputation is rightfully deserved. XD He essentially demands you use everything the game teaches you. Congrats! You've made it to the end!
Orphan is tough with unpredictable movements and patterns, but you're a little under-leveled. Two handed overhead slam is good to parry and when he tries to jumps over you immediately move forward to get a charged r2 and backstab. Good luck fellow hunter.
Dude I go there 57 lvl in my first play through and I beat him at 4th try (btw I beat Ludwig at 12th try at first play through) I was 20 vitality but I was hitting him harder like 250 300 at normal hit and 2500 at visceral atack. Visceral atack is tactic. I always parry him in first phase it’s pretty easy. In second phase parrying is little but harder but still easy. He chose harder way. That’s the point
The lore is that students from Burgenworth (location of rom fight) found a god and beat it to death. So you were standing on a dead god and fighting its child
the fact that the orphan comes from her is enough proof but at the same time great ones can't have kids So like why can she?Maybe she was queen yharnam for a different great one I mean the great one's in the game aren't the only ones logically speaking They're basically a species
@@Lathostheunseen Great Ones use surrogates, remember? The fact she births the Orphan disproves she's one as well. The fact she's full of parasites that change the shape of their hosts supports the kin theory.
We believe in you man! Just remember that no amount of struggle on this guy is unusual. We were all in the same boat (save for that one guy who’s about to comment that he got it second try. 🙄)
On my 2nd or 3rd try, I got him down to a magic pixel of health. I thought for sure my next hit kills him, so I got a little reckless and charged in. He pretty much smashed my whole bar in one hit. It took another 20 tries before I even got to phase 2 again, and I eventually had to give up and go level in the Chalice Dungeons before I finally got him.
that one guy sends his regards :D but he is hard I wont deny that, was in disbelief when I actually beat him. The sharks beat me more than all the bosses combined tho. Its just you need to have a build that deals damage, more damage per hit the less times you have to deal with this guys health pool deleting combos
this boss is a tough one. I recommend trying to parry it and avoid unnecessary attacks. Also, when he's back is open you should do a charge attack bc it staggers him and thus making him available for a visceral attack.
Don't know if it's been mentioned already, but his forward jump attack is perhaps his most punishable move. Just strafe accordingly and use a fully charged R2 to stagger him and you've got a free visceral. You don't even have to dodge.
Ahh yes... One of the bad time trio, of the fromsoft catalogue. Yelling baby kos. Glock Saint Isshin Malenia blade of miquella. This are a true beat down.
@@V-u-l-p hm in a way can't said I'll agreed with the dlc bosses of dark souls 3 since they don't force you to change.drastically like the 3, i just mention. Example: midir is a giant health pull with lightning weakness, Gael is a fair final boss battle with little to no changes, sister friended and Ariedel, is a stamina gauntlet. Compare to orphan of Kos : forcing you to be as stupidly aggressive as he is ( if we take away gun parry's). Sword saint Isshin: forcing perfect Parry's and escalating, the rhythm of the fight. Malenia is overrated yes, BUT she doesn't something any other previous souls bosses never did..( She kills turtle up games) do to her heal mechanic, forcing shield game play off the table. I did not mention them base on difficulty, or damaged, they are up there cuz they force a change in the player, by improving on the formula or taking away. In my analytical opinion of course.
Most beneficial tip I can tell you that would’ve helped for a lot of bosses btw charged heavy on their back allows for the parry attack on almost any boss that isn’t giant and helps drastically orphan of kos is an annoying boss but it can be done to him to make it a decent bit easier if you know the attack pattern
He finally reached Kos... and not once, not once, did I see him do a Backstab. Am willing to bet he never figured that out. Not a single R2 charged to the back of anything. 11:20 he really wants to parry The Orphan, but all he can think of, is shooting him for the parry, never the R2 charge attack to the back. Its both sad and amazing that he was able to finish the game in that way.
You can stand in the open water, the fight area isnt just the small beach, the arena is actually pretty big. It may help you to get out there into some space.
I just beat the DLC today! After 7 years of a break. Brador, that Hunter you fought, was using a Lead Elixir. It's similar to an item from the other Souls games where you're super tanky and weapons bounce off of you. It's the best defense around overwhelming opponents like the 3 Yhar'Gul Hunters.
The trick is not to dodge away from the orphan, but doge to the side. The farther you retreat, the more aggressive he is. I had a bloodtinge build and was able to kill him using bloodletter in my second try, fighting lady maria prepared me for this guy. Though in new game plus it took me 8 tries to kill him, bloodletter wasn't doing it anymore after 5 tries, so I switched to rieterpallasche with bolt paper. When his health was low, I just shot him with evelyn and the reiterpallasche.
@@Stealthinatrixx this filthy guy spends his time sweeping the entire map with his arm as long as the wall of china inflicting more damage than all the bosses in the game combined and we are supposed to stay calm on it
I can enjoy this fight. Orphan of Kos being hard and learning his move and dying on my mistakes is more acceptable than learning Melania's waterflow. That move makes me use Mimic Tear just to defeat her.
@@Junaed6666 yeah this works except when it doesn't, 3rd swing you can just run towards her and she will miss, also roll away from her two times after that to make her miss, problem is when she just follows up some combo with waterflowl when you least expect, greatshield and block works tho.
From what I can tell the biggest problem is that you are way too aggressive! You need to respect him. Try to keep a bit of distance between you and Orphan and let him come to you. Also learn his parry windows, this way you can pretty much trivialize his first phase. In the second phase you absolutely cannot stick close to him or else he will wreck you. It's best to avoid parrying, his hitboxes are pretty wonky lol. Good luck!
Funny story: I stuck to the Orphan like a limpet the entire time and managed to beat him first try on another save. It’s especially helpful for when he jump attacks, because then you can backstab.
beat him second try by sticking close to him and dodging to his left on the second phase for quick or transformation attack(for that nice rally), just gotta be mindfull which combo he is doing. The parrying is hard in the first phase and suicidal in the second. For some attacks coming from right to left either dodge back to his left or towards his right
It’s amazing how the experiences can be totally different amongst Souls players. A boss that you struggled with can be easy for another player. Kos took me only 3 attempts, but Lawrence took like 15 attempts and a lot of rage. In DS3 the Nameless King also took me 3 attempts but Frede took me like 30 try’s. I guess that why theses games are great.
The Rune that allows you to regain health on a Visceral is very useful against him, try charged backstabs when you get a good dodge in or when he leaps over you. The overhead slam and his charge are quite well parriable although the timing is a little finnicky and takes time to get used to. Orphan is a rather punishing boss and you need to force your openings against him, generally some bolt paper is also pretty useful against him, good luck, he is difficult but intensly rewarding to beat, you got this!
The best rune for this boss is just beast claw mark one two and three, you don’t need anything else for him, those sweet 4-5k viscerals are just unbeatable.
@@Yousifzzz they help a lot but it assumes you are able to parry and dodge him with a level of consistency few people can, and gets more difficult in the second phase. Trying to boost up on other stuff is worthwhile imo but if you're very good by all rights go for it
Parrying and knowing when to use charge attacks. That's the secret to beating the Orphan, which I learned after being stuck on it for a week. Was never too hard on any replay after that.
Try Blades of Mercy. They work better for him than a serated weapon. Also dodge attack with 2 handed Blades of Mercy is a thrust attack that has built in i-frames.
For anyone new who’s playing this, his problem is that he’s not using the rally mechanic. Most of orphans hits take at least one vial to recover from. Not using rally at all means that you’re boxing yourself into a 20 hit run or less (if we assume every hit takes only one vial). If you’re able to rally some of your health back you can take more hits. I found that any run I did where I used more than 8 vials on the first phase was a dead run. I averaged 5-8 vials on the first phase and when I finally beat Orphan I think I had 5 vials first phase and 9 on the second. For context: BL 98 on NG+ Hunters Axe +10
I recommend Bolt Paper for Orphan. Also I need to know if you are on New Game Plus. I know Bloodborne immeadately restarts as soon as you beat Moon Presence. So if you are on NG+ Orphan is actually like 10x harder. For context NG+ regular beginning enemies can take multiple hits from a Plus 10 weapon and not die. Like they survive unless you do a full combo. So Orphan is even worse than he is usually on NG+.
I joined the party late playing bloodbourne back in 2020, even after all this time I consider it one of the best games I've ever played. Need to do another playthrough
I feel your pain. I had the same. If you accept backseat recommendations then try pressing weapon mode switch button after first attack. That will cause your attacks to deal more damage. Also try different armor sets to find which one reduces the boss damage the most so it allows for more mistakes. Hang in there you can do it. 👍
This boss took me 4 hours to beat the first time After a year I came back and got him on my 2nd attempt and 4th attempt on NG+ Gotta spam the charge attack on his back
Charge attack on his back is so effective I basically consider it cheesing in this fight. He's way too weak to it: I consider it an oversight by the developers.
The transformed one is far far far too slow for orphan of kos, the saw spear is a complete counter to orphan so he already is in the best case scenario.
@@Yousifzzz its too slow only in the second phase and even then only after some attacks, first phase its the best attack cos you can rally almost all your hp back if he nicks you, also you can just r1 and dodge if he starts a combo.
When i got to the orphan, he was just so crazy i logged out after 10 attempts. Resigned myself to the fact that i didn't need to beat him. It was optional. I didn't need the trophy **sniff** Next morning, second attempt i got him. I Screamed fueled with adrenaline and woke my husband up from a dead sleep scaring the shit out of him thinking something was wrong and i was hurt. The hand tremors at the end are wonderful as well as the delirious giggling like an idiot. Your time will come.
Nah it’s more fun and more satisfying to watch a man suffer, and that final kill will be like 10x better trust, I was underprepared as hell too, shit turned my blood into dopamine.
You talk NONSTOP and you aren't really saying anything. Take a breath my man. You don't need to pretend to be so shocked and surprised every five seconds either. But I guess people like Markiplier made millions doing it, so I can't blame you. I also might not be the target audience. Maybe this is designed for kids. I'm 37 years old, so maybe I'm complaining on a video not even meant for me like a clown lol
I think you are a bit underleveled for this fight. I beat this eniter game last week for the fifth time and I was doing 350 damage per hit on Orphan (at just level 89 on ng0 while you are on ng+ as well). Have you upgraded your weapon fully to +10 and selected your best blood gems? Becuase I can't imagine your damage being only 150 per hit if you are fully upgraded.
I was using Burial Blade +10 without beastblood pellets, chalice dungeon bloodgems or fire / bolt paper (since you can't infuse it). I was at 40 skl and 9 arcane
Hey, bruv. I thought I was the only one that got stuck with bosses for days, haha. How much time did it take for you to beat him? For me, it was eight days of trying over and over, trying different weapons, leveling up, finding items and trying new tácticas until he finally went down.
Don´t attack him by urself. Always punish his attacks. If u prefer dodging over parrying -> mostly a forward left diagonal dodge does it Best attack to punish is his jump
Bloodborne was the very first FromSoft Soulslike i ever played and beat, i had played the old PS1 Armored Core games, but that's beside the point. To me, this is the easiest of the souls games to me, it took me a while, but Bloodborne was the game that hooked me.
“ i can’t fight hyper aggressive enemies” my man was set up to fail from the beginning with the orphan.
He never even learned you could regain health simply by hitting the boss immediately after gettinig hit
Hot take: This is the best boss in the game. Not because he's the hardest (which he is), but because he's the most fun imo
Ah. I see you a a man of culture as well
Very cold take. He’s in most people’s top 3

12:29 so he went full afrosenju huh 😅
For anyone new who’s playing this, his problem is that he’s not using the rally mechanic. Most of orphans hits take at least one vial to recover from. Not using rally at all means that you’re boxing yourself into a 20 hit run or less (if we assume every hit takes only one vial). If you’re able to rally some of your health back you can take more hits. I found that any run I did where I used more than 8 vials on the first phase was a dead run. I averaged 5-8 vials on the first phase and when I finally beat Orphan I think I had 5 vials first phase and 9 on the second.
For context:
BL 98 on NG+
Hunters Axe +10
I recommend Bolt Paper for Orphan. Also I need to know if you are on New Game Plus. I know Bloodborne immeadately restarts as soon as you beat Moon Presence. So if you are on NG+ Orphan is actually like 10x harder. For context NG+ regular beginning enemies can take multiple hits from a Plus 10 weapon and not die. Like they survive unless you do a full combo. So Orphan is even worse than he is usually on NG+.
During the split second you are behind him the Orphan can be backstabbed. It's actually easier to do that than the parry.
You need to go in the water, away from Mother Kos's body. That's where he calls the lightning from.
"i paid for this game, when is it gonna be my turn to play it" sent me
I joined the party late playing bloodbourne back in 2020, even after all this time I consider it one of the best games I've ever played. Need to do another playthrough
Hardest boss in any souls game . Took me ages but was very fkn rewarding man
Parry and when he jumps at you and you dodge forward you can power attack him behind and get another party attack
I feel your pain. I had the same. If you accept backseat recommendations then try pressing weapon mode switch button after first attack. That will cause your attacks to deal more damage. Also try different armor sets to find which one reduces the boss damage the most so it allows for more mistakes.
Hang in there you can do it. 👍
This boss took me 4 hours to beat the first time
After a year I came back and got him on my 2nd attempt and 4th attempt on NG+
Gotta spam the charge attack on his back
Took me 4 months on my first time. 8 hours every day
@@uncleol sheesh, you're a legend
Charge attack on his back is so effective I basically consider it cheesing in this fight. He's way too weak to it: I consider it an oversight by the developers.
Do people forget that they can repair their weapons so they do max damage? The damage on the saw spear can be so much higher than that
this boss made me question my existence
you gotta get hip to R1 and L1 attacks, it’s a transformation attack.. way better. especially w the saw spear
The rally potential is a nice bonus makes it easy to get hp back at least in the first phase.
The Orphan adopted you and he is your daddy.
The guy just got born to beating you up with his mother orgins 😂
Good vedio man

I am in awe of your skill, sir
Slayer of gods vs aggressive newborn
Well tbf it is a gods new born
First time I fought Orphan was in NG+ because I bought the DLC after beating the main game. It took me 100 attempts
This is NG+ as well, I also had the same problem, I did not know beating the game three you into NG+ instantly.
Really enjoyed the playthrough, very nice 👌
I like how he never transforms his weapon or tries another one
he has but his build is never ready for em
The transformed one is far far far too slow for orphan of kos, the saw spear is a complete counter to orphan so he already is in the best case scenario.
@@Yousifzzz its too slow only in the second phase and even then only after some attacks, first phase its the best attack cos you can rally almost all your hp back if he nicks you, also you can just r1 and dodge if he starts a combo.
No idea why but I had more of a problem with Laurence than I did Kos or Ludwig
When i got to the orphan, he was just so crazy i logged out after 10 attempts. Resigned myself to the fact that i didn't need to beat him. It was optional. I didn't need the trophy **sniff**
Next morning, second attempt i got him. I Screamed fueled with adrenaline and woke my husband up from a dead sleep scaring the shit out of him thinking something was wrong and i was hurt. The hand tremors at the end are wonderful as well as the delirious giggling like an idiot. Your time will come.
Upgrade your weapon. At the desk behind where Gehrman sits against the wall.
You ate a lot of placenta there.
The only way I beat him was by parrying and hitting him while he's in a loop
You need to get more prepared for this. This is when you will need max level weapons / 70+ level / all your bolt or fire papers
Nah it’s more fun and more satisfying to watch a man suffer, and that final kill will be like 10x better trust, I was underprepared as hell too, shit turned my blood into dopamine.
@@Yousifzzz Agree, that's the best case scenario, but I'm afraid he will drop the game entirely 😂
You talk NONSTOP and you aren't really saying anything. Take a breath my man.
You don't need to pretend to be so shocked and surprised every five seconds either. But I guess people like Markiplier made millions doing it, so I can't blame you.
I also might not be the target audience. Maybe this is designed for kids. I'm 37 years old, so maybe I'm complaining on a video not even meant for me like a clown lol
That’s what I was thinking it’s kinda annoying he’s just talking his head off like bro chill out
you seemed to forgot you can do heavy attacks, use your gun, and transform your weapon 😭
He is a baby.
the boss is basically designed to wreck you if you dodge backwards, only dodge forwardleft or right and suddenly it will click for you
Pretty much matches my experience. Took me weeks. But you can do it!
I think you are a bit underleveled for this fight. I beat this eniter game last week for the fifth time and I was doing 350 damage per hit on Orphan (at just level 89 on ng0 while you are on ng+ as well). Have you upgraded your weapon fully to +10 and selected your best blood gems? Becuase I can't imagine your damage being only 150 per hit if you are fully upgraded.
I was using Burial Blade +10 without beastblood pellets, chalice dungeon bloodgems or fire / bolt paper (since you can't infuse it). I was at 40 skl and 9 arcane
For me 10 Ludwig holy blade 421 damage per hit level 90
@@KillBuster99dude those chalice blood gems give like 25% extra damage each, you’re just over leveled lol.
I really didn’t think he was as hard as people said it did take me 8 try’s but now i do see what people meant
This mf Orphan took me like 4 to 6 hrs to beat.
at this point I was so farmed up I did it in the 1st try. I mean, farmed up. chalice dungeon glitch farmed up.
If you're good at parrying he is cake, same with Maria
Hey, bruv. I thought I was the only one that got stuck with bosses for days, haha. How much time did it take for you to beat him? For me, it was eight days of trying over and over, trying different weapons, leveling up, finding items and trying new tácticas until he finally went down.
Only boss i never beat. Have up after 18 tries. Which was twice as many attempts as any other boys in the game. The difficulty spike here is insane.
first upgrade your weapon then farm 21% or 20% gems from Winter Lantern in dlc area then it's easy.
I needed for him 3 days
Fear the old blood
Don´t attack him by urself. Always punish his attacks. If u prefer dodging over parrying -> mostly a forward left diagonal dodge does it
Best attack to punish is his jump
This is the boss I am on as well 😂 man this boss is insane and I love every moment
When you fight Orphan of Kos, just forget about defense and rush him down with superior aggression. Laurent and Ludwig are much more difficult.
Bloodborne was the very first FromSoft Soulslike i ever played and beat, i had played the old PS1 Armored Core games, but that's beside the point. To me, this is the easiest of the souls games to me, it took me a while, but Bloodborne was the game that hooked me.
