It has been tormenting me for 2 hours now and I am starting to lose my mind

  • Just stand in front of it and dodge toward and to the left when it swipes, the n hit it once or twice in the back. You’ll never get hit.

    If it runs off or starts wiggling out and spraying poison everywhere, just keep your distance. When it gets close, roll toward and to the left.

  • Blood cocktails will distract her during phase 1. Fire paper does good damage. She can be parried and backstabbed for critical hits.

    There is a summon, but if you are struggling, he will typically make things harder since he dies pretty fast.

    Where do I find the summon

    It's in the bushes on the right side when you go down the stairs on your way to the boss. You might also try using your bell to open your world and see if someone is around to help out.

    Also, make sure you're upgrading and repairing your weapons regularly. Gems make a huge difference even early on.

  • There’s already some good strats posted here. Additionally, if you want to summon a buddy, the folks on r/huntersbell are awesome.

  • On the right-hand side near where you descend to the ground in front of the church is Alfred, if you want a summon. He uses a Kirkhammer so expect him to go for big, slow hits. If you can work with him you can pass BSB's attention between the two of you and kill it.

    Fire is your friend. Have antidotes ready. It loves blood cocktails.

  • Anything fire related like Blood Cocktails and Fire Paper will be your best friend. They do a fair amount of damage and you’re more likely to get a critical hit in between especially if you aim for its backside.

    Make sure to dodge into its attacks, I found remaining extremely close to larger enemies to be easier. Good luck, good hunter.

  • still need help?

    Yeah

    do you know how to summon?

    Is it the same as in eldenring?

    In a way, set a password and put worldwide matchmaking on, then ring your beckoning bell at fog (consumes 1 insight). There are no signs in this game, just gotta wait for bells to connect.

  • To the left… Rinse and repeat. Blood cocktails can be used as tasty treat to get a few good hits in.

  • If you still need help I'm happy to be summoned, shoot me a DM

  • Parry is king for that guy.

  • Dodging to the left will make him whiff all his attacks, keep some antidotes on you

  • blood starved beast is one of the easiest bosses almost last place for me if you know how to dodge him and trust me if you know how you would think the same(his very easy to dodge just have to now how)

  • Did you get him? I've been wanting to try helping other players with bosses I've beaten before, but I'm super new to the game, I've never been summoned to help before. If you want some help, I'm willing but you'll have to bear with my newbieness
