Rope Molotov Cocktail — Bloodborne

Stats and requirements

Usage · effects and conditions (wiki)

In terms of damage, the Rope Molotov is identical to the normal Molotov; the difference is how it is thrown. Instead of tossing the Rope Molotov into the air, your character will drop it on the ground directly behind you. At first, this may seem like a negative as it can't be aimed, but Rope Molotovs are very useful. Do note, though, that locking-on to the target you want to hit doesn't work; these are much better when used unlocked. Rope Molotov damage is increased in the same ways normal Molotov damage is, so Oil Urns are still a good support item. Many enemies and bosses will chase you very aggressively, and a Rope Molotov can be used to deal damage while running away. This applies in fights against other players, as well; if you are being chased, a Rope Molotov can send a strong message: "Back off, or die in a fire!" It creates a small area of effect, so you don't even need a direct hit. If you hit an enemy with an Oil Urn and then fake a retreat, you can catch them off guard with a burst of damage. Rope Molotovs are also great when you are being surrounded; keep facing the biggest threat, and use one of these if another enemy approaches from behind. Another special feature of Rope Molotovs is that they are much faster to use than normal Molotovs. If, for example, a boss like Vicar Amelia is staggered, you can turn your back and spam Rope Molotovs very quickly. The key to using Rope Molotovs in general is to play without locking-on. You can hold 10 in your inventory.
