Attack Patterns
| Attack Name | Attack Description | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Grab | The Moon Presence will swipe twice and then do a forward lunge grab. | It is very easy to strafe around this attack and get a free attack in. |
| Swipe | The Moon Presence will smash his right hand on the ground, and immediately after use it's tentacles to make a fast swipe. | Dodge this attack by stepping backwards |
| Jump | The Moon Presence will jump onto you and attempt to smash you. | Sidestep this attack to dodge and immediately attack the boss once it lands. |
| Blood Moon Orbs | The Moon Presence will create one or more pale white orbs. After a few seconds, the orbs will explore, dropping blood. If the blood hits, you will be unable to use Blood Vials for 20 seconds. | Avoid the orbs. |
| Gaze of the Moon | The Moon Presence will blast the whole stage in an area of effect. The only way to avoid this is to time a quickstep or dodge roll such that your i-frames protect you. If it connects it will leave you with 1 HP. After the area of effect, the boss will be stunned for a few seconds. | If there are no Blood Moon Orbs near the boss, attack it. It is possible to recover most of your health, since the window of recovery is massive. |
General Strategy
- The easiest way to fight the Moon Presence is to stay at mid-range and make it do it's 3-hit combo. On the 3rd attack, dodge into it. You should end up behind it and manage 1-2 attacks before it jumps away. Repeat.
- Since this fight occurs immediately after Gehrman's fight, it can be beneficial to die and restock your Blood Vial count. You do not have to fight Gehrman again.
- Try and stay behind the boss and dodge when it attempts it's jumping attacks.
