I've had a somewhat difficult time adjusting to not using a shield in bloodborne but I feel as if I made a turning point after Father Gasciogne and things have been much smoother since then. When I got to the Blood Starved Beast I beat it on the first try. I was feeling pretty awesome.
Then I got to Vicar Amelia. I can't figure out what I'm missing here. I've got the move set down. I can dodge most attacks without much of an issue. I can get her down to ~30% health very regularly. And then the heals start.
Every fight last 15-20 minutes. Every time I get her down to around 25%-30% she initiates her heal and I cannot for the life of me reliably break it. She will heal herself back up to 50+% and it starts all over again. Eventually I run out of healing potions and die, and it starts again.
I'm using the +3 Axe with +Atk% gems and Fire Paper. I go two handed and use my charge attack then swing wildly. She'll continue to heal. I have tried molotovs and those don't break it. I've tried shooting her and that doesn't break it. About 1/4th of the time I hit her she'll stop healing right away and I cannot figure out why. I ran out of numbing mists a long time ago and I can't find any more.
What am I missing here? I've tried using different weapons, different items, I've tried pumping up my damage. I've tried pumping up my health. I have lost around 110,000 BE from mistakes so far. Two other time I ran in and grabbed my souls then teleported out so I could spend them and level up. I sat down with my girlfriend and we figured out that I have done 50 attempts on her in about 5.5hours. I'm tired of fighting this boss!
Quick Edit - I should also mention that for whatever reason I seem to be unble to summon anyone for this boss. I can use the beckoning bell, but I get no response. I've used 5 insight and never had any responses. I can't tell if the Bloodborne servers are just getting wrecked or if my wifi is too unstable. Either way, I can't get summoning to work.
