The One Reborn

The One Reborn:

Information:
The One Reborn is the only boss in Yahar'gul, the Unseen Village. Gain one Insight for finding it and three for defeating it. Once killed it activates the Advent Plaza Lamp.

Special Notes: You  must kill the One Reborn in order to gain access to the Upper Cathedral Ward.

Lore:
The result of the only successful experiment in Yahar'gul, conducted by the Mensis Scholars.

Description:
A giant rotting amalgamation of body parts with one solitary man on top. It has large "limbs" to the side with smaller ones around the body. It speaks in tongues through out the fight with the occasional shriek.

Location:
From the Yahar'gul Chapel Lamp, head out the door without the Huntsmen on the stairs. Continue down that path past the Chime Maiden and the Brick Troll through the chapel with the three hunters, the same chapel above the Hypogean Gaol. Continue out the door and go down the stairs to the right and continue straight down past the Undead Amalgams. At the base of the hill you will pass an archway and after a few seconds a cutscene will play.

Summons:
-The Old Hunter Defector Antal is available for summoning for this fight. He wields the Church Pick and his summoning bell is located in front of the carriage in front of the fog gate.
-The Old Hunter Yamamura is also available for summoning after killing him in the DLC, having the Impurity Rune equipped, and having left Valtr alive. His bell is located by another carriage near the Nightmare Fog.

Combat:
-Weak to Bolt and Fire
-Strong against Arcane

The One Reborn's arena is another large chapel type building with pillars running along either side of the area. There are two spiral staircases at the far end of the arena where you can ascend to the upper level where Chime Maidens can be found. The Chime Maidens will call down Arcane attacks unless they are killed.

The One Reborn has several attacks varying from Arcane attacks to a very powerful A.O.E.. The physical attacks that it can use are a flailing attack (m), characterized by it moving around erratically; it can use a swipe attack (m), where it raises its larger arm up above its "head"; and occasionally a headbutt attack (m) that it may do when you are on the upper level of the arena. The last attack it does that isn't Arcane involves spewing acid towards the hunter (slight to heavy)

Its Arcane attacks are all signaled by a red light. If the light appears over its head it will form a large ball that becomes a projectile (m) after a few seconds. If the light is over the hunter's head it will dump body parts on the player in quick succession (s). If the area around the One Reborn turns red then it is about to do its A.O.E. attack which causes damage when it screams (h).

Drops:
-36,300 Blood Echoes
-Yellow Backbone (3)

Tips and Tricks:
-Kill the Chime Maidens on the upper level first, be sure to watch out for the projectile attacks and the headbutt. Make sure to attack from the side so that you don't push them off the edge.
-The best weapon is a Tonitrus +5 or higher or any weapon with a Bolt or Fire Gem (cheaper than Fire Paper and Bolt Paper although those are also very effective)
-A very easy way to do this fight is to continuously stagger it by breaking its many limbs. Just walk around breaking each individual leg (4) and then the two ends, leaving the end with the skeleton on top for last.
-Bringing a Flamesprayer +4 or higher can be very helpful, in order to keep getting off damage once it has crumpled.
-Using plunging attacks from above can knock off a large chunk of its health.
-Move up to higher ground when it begins its acid attack as getting caught in it can do serious damage.
-Move back when the A.O.E. begins charging as it can one shot you.
-Stay to its sides, especially where the smaller legs are to attack.
-There are three lock on points, if you are having issues with the projectiles lock on to its head. If not lock on to the part touching the ground.
