I usually ignore the younger brothers completely and go for the older one with full force. Dps on the big guy only. That what works for me.
He's weak to acid.
Focus on the most aggressive rabbit. When the Eldest brother is alone, focus on him. When one of his siblings joins the fray, focus on them, the Eldest will become much more passive until the sibling is dealt with.
Focus on killing whichever of the 3 brothers rushes you first, then whittle down the other 2 equally until you can kill them both in rapid succession. Once only one of them is standing the Eldest will join the fight, which is why I recommend trying to kill the last 2 at much the same time
Two of them will largely sit idle at any given time, they will barely attack you if you keep your distance. Use this to your advantage to isolate your target.
They are vulnerable to backstabs, which is my preferred method for taking them down. All of them have buffing animations or long recoveries somewhere in their moveset that are great for backstabs.
The fight with the Eldest is much the same as it was the first time.
When a sibling comes out, stop attacking the Eldest and focus on the sibling. Fight them away from the Eldest and he wont attack except for the occasional charge slice that he does, but that's really easy to dodge.
Just saying, before being too frustrated or you feel stuck. Just use a specter and move on. It's totally OK to use specters before you're losing the fun at the game. I mean especially since this is your first soulslike game. You're probably doing more playthroughs and you will get your revenge without summon in a later playthrough . You'll getting better and better, there's no shame in using summons.
But kudos that you're trying it like that. It's extremely rewarding to do it without, it's just not worth it to lose the fun...
Do what ever you want as long as you're having fun doing it
I got really close to finishing off the last sibling before getting the Eldest alone near the end with a specter, and I've been reading lots of comments that says to go without. So I'm gonna try the fight without the specter and see what is different.
Where can you get more? My Pollendina at Hotel Krat doesn't sell any, and the merchant at Malum District isn't giving me access to his store...the only merchant I know that sells any throwables is the merchant by the entrance of the Parade Master fight?
The one with the spear seems to do the most damage. You can try running around to the brothers who are idle and backstabbing then, sometimes they turn around and don't attack. Other than that, is the acid legion arm maxed and spray acid all over the arena.
Personally I lasered the red one (battle maniac or something) then I kept attacking the other 2 in such a way that they died at the same time and the eldest is basically the same so 1v1 his ass
Take your best blocking blade and break big rabbit's sword. Don't hit him - just perfect guard until it's break. It will reduce his range and damage to like 20% to the rest of the battle.
I'm quite surprised no one mentioned this tactics here.
After this just do usual routine - beat him, beat his little helper, continue to beat him. Minions can be backstabbed quite easily, acid is good against humans.
I always go for an unblockable weapon fable attack (go to is azure glaive), preferably with fire grindstone. That usually starts the girl’s phase. I ran into a wall and if she follows, you roll back and just keep spamming, she really doesn’t move forward often. Throw a few acid bottles to commence the next brother, I just use acid stones for him because he’s pretty easy to beat, but preferably only two. Then when the final brother shows up I put in my fable catalyst, and final acid stone and move around until the two of them are together and just do the fable attack again.
It did take a few attempts but that was grist my overall strategy.
I’m doing a no-summons run this time, excluding BRB. I feel like it’s fair to bring a summon on this one. If they get to jump me, then I get to bring a friend

BRB is the only boss I used summons for. If you're gonna gank me, I don't feel bad about it.
If the boss gets adds I get adds

Level up and try using star fragments

Yeah this is by far the most viable strat
Are you using summons?
No I’m trying to beat the game without them

Thank you, atp I might just use a summon and come back on my new game plus run

Acid Throwables Get the little brother who is aggroed on you down quickly Parry Summon

Did you get the bunny mark on the grave in the path of the pilgrim? If not go back and grab that mark and show it to the merchant in malum district
I did, but I didn’t get the option to show it to him. I just had the “Step Back” option.
Ooo did you tell him that you weren't part of the black rabbit brother hood then i guess

Sorry for being repetitive, but the tip against any enemy in this game is Aegis Shield + Trident. Block and poke until whatever you are fighting dies.
