Bloodborne guide: Darkbeast Paarl boss fight

Watch on YouTube | Subscribe to Polygon on YouTube

Darkbeast Paarl is the sixth boss we fought in Bloodborne — though your order may vary, if you don’t get snatched away to the Hypogean Gaol when we did. It’s not so difficult, and will feel pretty familiar if you’ve bested similar four-legged bosses from past Souls titles. All you have to do is stay underneath Darkbeast Paarl, and hit its legs; do so quick enough and you’ll knock it down, letting you get off a few easy shots. Just make sure you don’t lock on, or else you’ll target its body, which is not as effective.
