Hunting the Flame (Bloodborne/Dark Souls)

[x] The Rakuyo.
[x] Don't rush towards it. Anticipate it's attacks and dodge accordingly.
-[x] Use every opening to get closer and behind it. Convert the Rakuyo and slice that demon's butt, then wait for another opening. Hit and run. Hit and run.

Rakuyo folks, we are in the spirit of Maria, so we should fight like her.

And can we see about forcing Oscar to drink the Estus? I want him to live.

I've always figured that Oscar Hollowed, not because he died, but because he had finally given up. Just getting to the asylum was probably an epoch unto itself, but when he finally gets there, he gets utterly wrecked by the Asylum Demon. According to the prophecy he's following, his journey hasn't even started yet.

I figure that is about when he decides that he isn't cut out for this task, dwlivers his charge unto another, and finally gives in to the inevitable. The tragedy isn't that you can't save Oscar, it's that Oscar is the only one who can save himself, and he gave up on that.

[X] Don't bother with the Pistol. You can kill this thing barehanded.

You draw the elegant twinblade of Lady Maria, as well as drawing your Evelyn pistol.

The demon regards you, and raises its hammer.

It brings the hammer down to smash you through the floor.

It's painfully slow. A lazy dash to the side, and you avoid the first strike. You then duck under his next attack, a vertical sweep, and then rush past it, holstering your Evelyn as you separate the Rakuyo's blades.

You grimace slightly as you cut through the monsters rear. It smells almost as bad as that boar in Yharnam's sewers.

You dash backwards as the Demon turns its bulk to you, bringing the Rakuyo's knife back into the katana's hilt, and draw your Evelyn, firing a quick shot into the thing's head as it tries to swing.

You smirk as it falls over in pain, and you can feel your claws growing as you sheathe your blade and shove your hand into its face. You grip at something, and pull, ripping out something meaty and squishy.

The Demon shudders, and dies, and you stare at the brain matter in your hands, and the pair of Quicksilver bullets some of the blood turned into.

You lick at the blood, and then gag a little. It's filling, but not exactly the most delicious flavor of blood.

Ven pokes his head in, and whistles appreciatively. "Holy crap. Nice kill."

What to say?
[ ] "Thanks."
[ ] Lick the blood from your blade. It's still blood, poor taste non withstanding.
[ ] Murder.

Hee, that was a fast, clean kill. :D
 
It's NG Asylum Demon. Not even NG+. The only reason it gives people trouble is because they start with unupgraded weapons. You guys had a +10 Rakuyo and Evelyn, and every one of your attacks tore literal chunks out of its health bar.

The only time you guys would have had real honest trouble is if you used only Fists.

And here there were people who wanted to fist the demon. :p

Did the demon dropped its key, by any chance?
 
What would we do with it or do mean for Ven?
There's a big hammer there by the corpse. You could lift it if you wanted to. I see no reason for you to pick it up since you're a skill build who would be unreasonably burdened and unable to dodge or swing it properly.

And Ven doesn't have the stats for it right now, and he doesn't have a Bottomless Box to stash it in right now.
 
[x] "Thanks."
That blood is of far too poor a quality for our refined palate.

Its hopefully going to freak out Ven hilariously.

Better to get his reaction to this out of the way now. If he attacks us, I want it to happen before he has a chance to git gud. ...And wouldn't that be an interesting quest, taking the CU's place if he stays dead or constantly fighting/hunting/evading him if not.
