Strategy

So Orphan of Kos will not immediately attack you once the boss fight starts, you need to get close to him and Kos' corpse before he turns and attacks you. The most important thing in the first half of the boss fight is not to get hit by his attacks. Like Lady Maria, he is somewhat passive in this form and won't charge at you from afar most of the time, but he does have a jump attack that he often uses when the hunter is in range. That's good because another important point of fighting this boss is that he can be backstabbed and some of his moves have a slow spin once he gets them, the jump attack is one of them. Once he's about to perform his main combo, which is to yell, swing down diagonally, swing up twice, and swipe his weapon across the ground, you'll want to get away from him immediately. It's best not to risk getting hit by this move, as there are hitboxes around it. Another thing about the orphan is that he is too weak to stagger. About 3-4 hits with a weapon like Beast Claws and he'll stagger slightly and deal an extra hit or two, but he'll make a move right after so you should retreat after landing those few extra hits. Once he reaches about half his health, he will shriek and explode (harmlessly) in the area around him, transforming into his Grand form. You can plan to throw in a few hits once he transforms, but be careful after that as the Great One form has very aggressive attacks.

For this form, you really have to pay attention to how you move in this area. Orphans attack this way mainly by moving a lot and being very aggressive. He mostly abuses jump attacks, where he either jumps on you to hit you with his weapon and then lands multiple hits that will likely kill you if you don't dodge, or throws red orbs that explode at the player. and after doing that, he jumps to the other side of the area and throws more red orbs in your direction, which can be effective since most people dodge back in the direction he's throwing the red orbs. If you see him walk away from you, he just rolls to the other side and heals. Other than that, there's not much to say that he would help in this fight. If you do the attack with multiple vertical hits in quick succession, try to dodge to the side instead of back. If he does a jump attack when he's close to you, try to dodge to where he jumped and you'll likely miss most of his attacks. When I do the scream attack where the electricity comes from Kos, go to the cave entrance we came from. If you want, you can also try backstabbing the orphan this way, as it is possible, though not very likely. The move he uses the most is the vertical slam combo, and that changes his position when you're in a good spot.

Once you've defeated the orphan, all you have to do is kill the nightmare by finding the black figure that comes from Kos! Once you've done that, watch the cutscene unfold and you've now officially progressed through all of the Ancient Hunters DLC.
