A unique enemy found on the lakeside patio at Byrgenwerth, and in Chalice Dungeons, the Fluorescent Flower can be targeted in two places: its large lower body and the luminescent flower dangling from its stalk. Its body has extremely high defense and takes very little damage from physical attacks; however, hitting the flower will send it into a rage and immediately trigger a counterattack using its stalk as a massive whip. In addition to these whipping swings, it also uses a short-range Bile Spit and a mid-range Leaping Grab, and at long range it will launch fireballs from its flower in sets of two.

Despite its large size and menacing appearance, it is completely incapable of attacking behind it and cannot turn fast enough to prevent you from staying there; its stalk whips can be avoided by quickstepping sideways and in the uncommon event that it uses its Leaping Grab, a forward quickstep will carry you to safety. ~~While its Bile Spit will significantly damage your equipment if it connects~~, the Fluorescent Flower's only truly dangerous move is its long-range Double Fireball; you'll need to approach it using the nearby pillars for cover or conceal your presence with a Blue Elixir in order to avoid being hit Contrary to its venomous appearance, it is highly vulnerable to status ailments and can be poisoned by striking its flower with a single Poison Knife.

You can use vertical attacks with overhead arcs such as the transformed (L2) combo of Ludwig's Holy Blade to strike the flower directly, but doing so requires that you position yourself in harm's way; it's much safer to simply target the flower from farther away and kill the creature in a few shots from your pistol. If you have even one Poison Knife, you can throw it at the dangling flower to poison the entire enemy and simply take cover inside the university building until it dies. For a faster (though still slightly risky) kill, you can lure one or two of the nearby Garden of Eyes enemies toward the Fluorescent Flower and stab it with a Shaman Bone Blade, causing them to attack each other and often resulting in the flower's defeat.
