Mind you, this is my fourth playthrough, so I know my way around the game and the enemies more or less. The Black Rabbit Brotherhood fight always gave me trouble, though. It is very much comparable the Shadows of Yharnam from Bloodborne but some reason, the Shadows feel easier than both the first as well as the second Brotherhood fight.

In my previous playthroughs, I died a lot in this fight and had to summon a specter quite often to have a fighting chance. In this playthrough, I picked up the Two Dragons Sword, or whatever it's called, and just beat them on my first try (NG+), however. It was still close, and I think I had to go down to my last heal, but it was still very manageable and relatively easy. No summons, no cheeses, just straight parrying and Two Dragons Sword parrying here and there.

For some reason, that brother with the red scarf who has a one-handed scimitar gave me quite a bit of trouble, though. Usually, he was the easiest of them all.

How was your experience with them?
