Haha thanks, I finished another one earlier but this time without gifts or passives, just pipe and combo drain. It might not look it but this was a lot more difficult to accomplish:
This was more challenging than my other attempt because you really need to manage stamina. Drain can only be used safely after certain attacks and usually with max stamina only, just to allow for a dodge to escape. You also need to count the number of attacks until he staggers in the first phase to maximise drain opportunities too, and you obviously don't have buffs, venom, shifting hollow, etc. to rely on.
I wanted to wear Blue Hounds for Eleanor's fashion (from Tales of Berseria) but Night Claw's drain attack deals the most damage and, as it has a quicker animation (I think?), allows for more opportunities to use drain attacks with less risk. The pipe gains the highest attack rating with the Prometheus blood code, which also grants more stamina; compared to other quick mobility blood codes - Fighter and Ranger - Prometheus allows for one extra dodge or attack with a full stamina bar.

But don't feel inadequate lol, it takes many attempts and I'm sure many players would be able to do it too if they could be bothered with the trial and error + time commitment.
