Forbidden Grave

The Shadow of Yharnam is a boss fight against three enemies simultaneously: one wielding a katana with fast attacks, one with a scimitar and candle that breathes fire, and a caster with a mace that throws homing fireballs.

Focus on dealing damage equally to all three enemies in Phase 1. Stay mobile to draw the two melee attackers away from the caster, allowing you to attack him.

Use the large gravestone in the center of the arena for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) from fireballs. Use your firearm to counter and perform visceral attacks on the katana-wielding Shadow.

Damage one Shadow to below 30% health, or all to below 50%, to trigger their transformation and gain new attacks. Damage them to below 25% to have them summon giant snakes.

Try to defeat the katana-wielding Shadow before it transforms to avoid its Phase 2 attacks.

In Phase 2, with two Shadows remaining, focus on bringing their health down to around 30%.

Quickly kill one Shadow once its health is below 25% to avoid dealing with two Shadows that can summon giant snakes. It is recommended to kill the caster first, then the scimitar wielder.

If the Shadows begin to summon giant snakes (indicated by a pink glow when they kneel), rush away from your current position as the snakes tend to spawn near you.

Continue attacking the remaining Shadows to defeat them and progress.
