The Celestial Emissary, a boss you'll face in Bloodborne's Upper Cathedral Ward, is a real pushover if you can take down its legion of spawns fast enough. Use a weapon with either a large sweeping attack, or a weapon powerful enough to kill each mob in one or two hits, and you can focus your efforts on the Emissary. Halfway through, it grows to an enormous size; but that lets you sneak back through the arena's entrance without it following, if you need a space to cull the herd a little bit.
Check out the video above to watch us take the Celestial Emissary down, and stay tuned for more Bloodborne boss guide videos.
