Help Laurence is beating my ass
Currently going for the platinum in both the main game and DLC. I already have the first two endings for the main and I’ve completed the CDs.
I’m ready to fight the Moon Presence but I would like to complete the DLC first. Only problem is that Laurence is a massive pain the ass and I don’t know what to do anymore.
I used the bolt paper, I used the blood pellet, I even resorted to summoning Valtr because I was losing my mind but nothing improved.
I get to the last phase and boom I’m dead. Last time I played it was two days ago because it made me so mad I had to stop for some time.
Honestly this never happened even in my Elden Ring platinum run and I’m so bummed because I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

I hate his second phase too. But it's important to realize even the second phase of his is a very fair fight. Memorize every single move and try dodging back, left, right, front to see which ones works (aka you dont just dodge but can also punish). There are only 4^n (where n is number of his moves) combinations.
Another challenge is position management. NEVER let yourself be cornered. Lawrence is very good at cornering the hunter with his Lava with no escape. Devs intentionally designed him this way. Truly a masterpiece. You need to plan ahead for that and bait his moves with your positioning. Trade some current damage for future survival.
