Description Celestials, blue-skinned Kin of the Cosmos. In the Lumenflower Gardens, we can see the results of their experiments. Look at the way the Celestials seems to grow from the ground. Even the name garden seems to suggest an almost sickening way in which the Celestials were harvested from the ground like a crop. This was the source of Yharnam's special blood. The children who were elevated to becoming Celestials were then harvested and used as sources of Blood for the Church, a renewable resource that would allow them to provide the entire City with as much Blood as it needed. [The Paleblood Hunt by Redgrave] Preparation The Celestial Emissary is extremely weak against thrust attacks and bolt, so the Saw Spear, the Rifle Spear and Ludwig's Holy Blade are good choices for this battle; it also affected by attack bonuses against kin. Pick up plenty of Bolt Paper and Blood Vials, and consider bringing a full load of Bone Marrow Ash to take advantage of the Emissary's low blood defense Throwing Knives will deal respectable damage from a distance once you've run out of bullets; Molotovs are optional but can be helpful for this purpose. Overview When you first enter the boss area, the only enemies present will be a group of Small Celestial Emissaries, one of which is the true boss. When you've figured out which one this is and dealt it enough damage to trigger Phase 2, it will transform into a giant version of the smaller emissaries and attack you with basic punches, kicks and stomps. After reducing the boss' health further and initiating Phase 3, it will sprout tendrils from its head and begin targeting you with energy projectiles when you're out of reach of its melee attacks. The other small emissaries will continue to follow you throughout all three Phases and will attack if they get close enough to do so, but their movement speed is slow and they can be led away from the boss long enough for you to attack it several times before they return; they will also respawn in the center of the arena if you kill them, so it's better to just lead them away and focus on the boss. Strategy Deal as much damage as possible before triggering Phase 2, and when the boss' health is just above 60%, strike it with a powerful charged thrust attack from a weapon boosted with Bolt Paper; alternately, power up the Cannon or Flamesprayer with Bone Marrow Ash and immolate the entire group of emissaries at once. If you aren't able to finish off the boss before its minions get involved, lead them to the end of one of the walkways and drop into the garden; they'll take the long way back around rather than fall off after you, giving you plenty of time to attack the boss before they return. Environment You'll face the Celestial Emissary in a rectangular courtyard with raised pathways along the perimeter surrounding a garden in the center. The colonnades on each side and the large pillars in the garden offer plenty of cover from the boss' ranged attacks when it begins using them; the smaller emissaries can be led all the way to the ends of the raised pathways overlooking the fountain and will walk slowly back down the steps rather than jump off the edge to pursue you. Notes Upon boss defeat Lumenflower Gardens lamp will spawn. In third phase of the fight Celestial Emissary can perform "Prayer" move which will buff all Small Celestial Emissaries [image]. It will initiate it when you are out of its attack range or line of sight. Buff will give Small Celestial Emissaries roughtly 10% HP boost, lasts about 10 seconds and it is visually represented by glowing aura & eyes [image]. There is around 2 minutes timer when Celestial Emissary cannot do this move but can use it repeatedly. If you do enough damage to his "super armor" by attacking him while he is in the animation you can stagger him but without following riposte [image]. In Isz Gravestone encounter Celestial Emissary will not spawn Small Celestial Emissaries for support

Attack Patterns Phase One

Key Attack	Interrupt	Notes
None

Phase 1 Strategy: To figure out which of the small emissaries is the real boss, you can lock on to each emissary until you find the one that does not display a health bar. The boss emissary will also follow you but won't attack. Once you've determined which of them is the true boss, reduce its health to about 70% with melee attacks and lead the other emissaries away from it if possible. At this point, power up your melee weapons with Bolt Paper and lay into the boss emissary. Get in as much damage as you can as the boss transforms; it won't hurt you when he does, but it will knock you down. It's worth getting the damage in and, with enough, you can even kill the boss before it leaves Phase 1.

Attack Patterns Phase Two

Key Attack	Interrupt	Notes
Slap Combo	No	Frontal flailing combo with moderate forward momentum; quickstep sideways or forward past it.
Stomp	No	Close-range downward stomp with small area of effect; strafe or quickstep backward.

Phase 2 Strategy: When the boss' health drops below 60% it will assume its true form and begin Phase 2. It will only use a few extremely basic melee attacks at this point and will not follow you very far onto the raised walkway, so you can lure the smaller emissaries away at your leisure and return your attention to the boss. You can avoid its melee attacks by quickstepping forward or sideways, but standing behind it is a better strategy as none of its attacks can reach you there as long as you keep one to two meters' distance from its feet; its stomp attacks will hit you if you're pressed against it at pointblank range, but you can avoid them simply by strafing backward. Avoid standing in front of the boss at all costs - its melee attacks have forward momentum and long reach, making them difficult to dodge.

Attack Patterns Phase Three

Key Attack	Interrupt	Notes
Multi-Laser	No	Multiple small blasts in quick succession with minor tracking. If close, quickstep sideways; if farther away, strafe or roll sideways or block it using the terrain.
Aura Blast	No	Long-range projectile with moderate tracking; strafe or roll in any direction.
Prayer	No	AoE buff for all Small Celestial Emissaries. Run toward it immediately to close distance to attack while its vulnerable, or quickstep backward and wait until buff runs out.

Phase 3 Strategy: When the boss' health falls below 30% it will grow tendrils and begin using its energy proiectiles. You'll have to avoid these attacks while you lure the smaller emissaries away, but the pillars and columns in the area give you plenty of cover and will keep you safe as long as you watch the boss carefully while moving. The Multi-Laser is its most dangerous move - each small blast inflicts heavy individual damage and has minor tracking capability, so you're better off hiding behind obstacles than trying to dodge them. The giant emissary will still usually prioritize its melee attacks when you're in range, so staying behind it is still the best way to damage it without having to deal with its projectiles; continue hitting it with thrusts from its blind spot and it will quickly fall.
