The Cleric Beast is the first boss you'll fight in Bloodborne, and fortunately, it's not too difficult to take down. The trick is to try and dodge its fairly slow attacks and circle behind it, hit it with a combo of attacks and save enough Stamina to evade its counter. Things get a bit trickier when the Cleric Beast enrages — you'll need to give it a bit more space, as its combos are extended, which could easily kill you if you get caught in the flurry.
Check out the video above to watch us beat the Cleric Beast, and to learn what you can expect as a reward for your hard-fought victory.
