First time I recorded myself fighting a boss from start to finish. This is NG+ with the Two Dragons Sword after many, many tries failing miserably in phase 2, sometimes getting very close to beating her. It's by no means a clean fight and I did luck out in the end due to good attack RNG by her, but it still felt good to finally get this done

Edit: Throughout phase 2, I kept trying to use the special parry of Two Dragons Sword, but I was too scared of losing health unnecessarily and wanted to be done with the fight lol

Edit: So turns out, you don't have to open all the Sanctums there are - just a couple mandatory ones. I managed to get another call with Arlecchino on the Grand Exhibition phone where he asks you if you're a murderer. You can answer whichever way you want and you'll get a box containing the key needed to open to the door to his hideout. Other phones might work too, so just check another phone that is not inaccessible.

Might be a long shot, but I'll make a post anyway. So after progressing through the story enough, you end up back at the beginning of the game at Krat Central Station. You then progress through this area until you come back to the Hotel and continue in Relic of Trismegistus area, thus locking yourself out of the area.

Now, to be able to get the final key needed to get access to the room where Arlecchino is held in the Arche Abbey, you apparently need to have found all the prior Trinity Keys and have opened all their respective Sanctums. One such Sanctum is next to the

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.
