To reach Old Yharnam, take the path from Cathedral Ward that leads down into the burning district. You'll encounter new enemies like the Beast Patients and the terrifying Djura, the Powder Keg Hunter, who will shoot at you from above. You can either fight Djura or try to befriend him later. Navigate the rooftops and burning streets until you reach the boss arena for the Blood-starved Beast.
Blood-starved Beast Strategy:
- Weakness: Fire, Serrated weapons.
- Attacks: Fast swipes, grabs, and a poisonous aura that expands with each phase.
- Strategy: This boss is very aggressive. Dodge to its left (your right) to avoid most attacks. Use pungent blood cocktails to distract it. In its final phase, its poison aura becomes very dangerous; use Antidotes or equip armor with high poison resistance.
- Reward: Pthumeru Chalice, 1 Insight.
