The Eldest of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood is a boss that players encounter at the end of Malum District in Lies of P.

Should anyone be unable to pay, they will get thrown into the LIAR coffin and buried alive underground.

The Malum District fifth chapter in Lies of P. So, once people defeat the four Stalkers brothers, it’s possible to move on to the next chapter. Although the Fox and the Black Cat offer assistance in the beginning, the siblings don’t actually help players with the boss fight.

How To Beat Eldest Of The Black Rabbit Brotherhood In Lies Of P

Upon entering the boss area in Lies of P, the four brothers will be waiting in the arena. However, three of them immediately jump to the upper platform, leaving the Eldest brother behind. Every time players remove a good chunk of the Eldest’s health, one of the siblings jumps down to help. While fighting, it’s better to summon the Specter to help and focus on the Eldest as he’s the main boss. If one of the siblings becomes too much, fight them for a bit then immediately return to the Eldest.

If players’ weapon isn’t already infused with something, coating a weapon with Fire, Acid, or Lightning in Lies of P helps increase its damage for a while. Not to mention that Legion Arms like Flamberge will deal significant Fire damage. Fighting-wise, try to memorize the Eldest of the Black Rabbit’s move set to dodge at the correct moment and punish him with deadly combos.

Diagonal Swings

The Eldest will stomp his foot and swing his cleaver in a diagonal line and might combo it with a 360 turn. This move set might become more than a two-hit combo so make sure to dodge by backing away and not rolling sideways.

Tornado Attack

The boss will hold his cleaver straight and turn around three or four times, almost looking like a tornado. Simply dodge sideways to evade it.

Overhead Smash

While holding the cleaver in both hands, the Eldest will raise it above his head and then smash the weapon on the ground in a powerful swing. He might do three more overhead smashes, finishing the last one with a Fury attack.

This attack can also be followed by another Fury attack that covers a decent distance if the boss raises his leg sideways. Avoid it by backing away, rolling to the side, or successive Perfect Guards in Lies of P.

The boss will also sometimes combine the Diagonal Swings with an Overhead Smash, so be careful and make sure to dodge quickly.

Jump Attack

The Eldest of the Black Rabbit jumps into the air and comes down with a powerful hit that deals massive damage. It’s a pretty slow move, so players can see it and dodge it immediately.

Charge Attack

If players happen to be far away from the boss in Lies of P, he will do a charge forward and do a decent heavy attack. If players are feeling confident, try to block it by doing a Perfect Guard.

Ignore The Black Rabbit Siblings

As mentioned before, the Black Rabbit siblings will come down to help their brother after a while. Don’t focus on them too much, and if that’s not possible try to go around behind their back to do a Fatal attack to gain a few seconds before they get up.
