It's no surprise Brador destroyed Simon. The Bloodletter does an utterly insane amount of dmg.

Opposite end of the blood creek from the bridge in a cave. With a lot of blood stones of all levels, fucking Old Yharnam beasts, a Blood Starved Beast and that one fucking guy (OH MY GOD FUCK THAT GUY) with the hand held minigun (THAT NEVER SEEMS TO RUN OUT OF BULLETS OH MY FUCKING GOD).
That it does, for all I never actually fought him. He showed up in the Hamlet once and I ran away, then I found the basement key and killed him where he lived.
Fucking Bloodletter and it's frenzy attack. Shit's crazy. I mean, it's easily dodged and it hits the user as well, but frenzy damage! On a PC weapon!

...You know, I always assumed the blades were counter-rotating for exactly this reason, but actually looking at the model, the teeth are clearly oriented in the same direction on both sides. I guess that wouldn't be a simple fix, if Djura was already pushing the limits on mechanical complexity and weight. It is an engine the user is expected to swing around on the end of a pole for a while and bash into things, it's amazing it works as well as it does.

Edit:
Actually, when you think about it, Simon ought to be just about the worst possible opponent for Brador. His M.O. is to immediately power up the Bloodletter and then chug a Lead Elixer for the superarmor, but the downside of that stuff is that it slows you down- it makes him really vulnerable to ranged damage, like the cannon or gatling, or Simon's Bowblade. Brador pretty much has to have taken Simon by surprise and gotten a first hit in at close range. You'll note that Simon managed to drag himself into cover while severely wounded, and invader-Brador is nowhere to be found, meaning Simon still actually won that fight.

Heh
Lead Elixir does slow you down, but you can cheese it by just dashing around. You can't fat roll in Bloodborne, and you can block ranged shots with the Bloodletter. But yes, Brador is a bit of a glass cannon when it comes down to it.

Well persistence wears down on a person, Simon did say
"…The beast-hide assassin, he's after me…
…Again and again…
…It never ends…"
Meaning Brador fights Simon many times.
That tells me that Brador just kept on jumping on Simon till he killed him. I mean even if Simon wins 9 out of 10 times. If Brador fights Simon 20 times, then Brador just needs to win only 1 of the 20 where as Simon needs to survive all 20 of the 20.
Not sure how much sense that makes. Brador only aggros on people who go into the Fishing Hamlet (how did Simon beat you there, anyway?). He has Brador's cell key on him when he dies, he clearly knows what's up with all his warnings about secrets in the Nightmare, and he recognizes Brador as an assassin, rather than just another crazed Hunter. When he first got invaded, why not just immediately turn around and go back to the Hunter's Nightmare to put down Old!Brador? Are we meant to infer that he found Brador's key in the Fishing Hamlet, for some reason?
But yeah, just facetanking until Simon ran out of Quicksilver Arrows seems the most likely way Brador won that one.

I inferred it as he went into the hamlet got invaded, then found the key in the hamlet, then turned around to murder Brador, but got murdered along the way back. It is not like he can teleport straight to Brador's cell. He would have to walk back the way he came.

Could we suggest just putting padding on the handle so if it whips into you it doesn't hurt?

Caves on one end of the creek.
Along with a likely friend of Djura's. With a minigun.

Something swinging as hard as that wouldn't be affected enough by padding.

The padding would just make the sound of the handle obliterating the users face slightly softer.
Like a *CLOOF*, as opposed to the unpadded *CRUCH*. Jaw still gets dusted regardless.

If that Gatling Gun Hunter is one of Djura's old colleagues then seeing Djura might mean he doesn't try to kill us, so we get a new murder buddy. He doesn't yell about wanting MOAR BLOOD and the like when you fight him so he might still be sane.
If not and/or he still tries to murder us, then at least we can take his Gatling Gun. Plus, the Amygdalan Arm is in there so we can take it with us for double ironic killing action.

Simon will become our new murder buddy!! Also Lady Maria if we can figure out a way of pulling that off.
Getting Maria on our side is simple. We talk.
Seriously if the Hunter had explained that he was just there to kill beasties he may have been able to avoid the whole fight. But noooo! Silent protag.

I read something about Maria being there out of guilt or some such, protecting the entrance to the Hamlet so nobody would know about all the horrible shit Byrgenwerth did to everyone in that village and so on. I mean, the description for Rakuyo says she chucked it away because she was disgusted by it, or what it represented, either or.
So diplomancy is indeed the best option here. Not to mention I'm pretty sure she'd kick the shit out of Anderson. She moves like the Artificial Hunter would've on the Old Hunter's Bone by default and she's not unskilled like he was.

That works and if we do somehow free her from the Nightmare (because seriously I want her in our pose) I can just imagine the awkward moments where we explain that Gherman made a lifesized doll in her likeness.
She fights the Hunter because she seems to be under the impression that he is there to continue the research or something. Instead of just being there to kill things like a proper FROM protag.

Hey. I was a FROM protag in For Answer by everyone teamed up on me. Old King was on my side though, so it's not all bad. Even if he did get killed.

No, I'm pretty sure she's protecting the denizens of the Fishing Hamlet as well, including the Orphan of Kos. This is further backed up by the fact that she says, "A corpse...should be left well enough alone." She's referring to Kos' corpse. Which the Orphan is buried under.
It looks like some text were cut-off here...
