The Orphan is a pitiable monster with no humanity left in it, wandering beneath the ground without aim, light or any way out. Its making was a punishment, the work of a creator who hated it from the very start. It is a figure of pity as much as of horror. You fight it in the University, a region that opens in main quest chapter 9, IN RUINS. Main Hall is the nearest Lantern to the arena.
The fight runs over 2 phases. Several of its attacks cannot be blocked and have to be dodged: the improvised weapon, the swing feint, the grab, the leap scream, the spike, and some hits of its combos. Watch for these rather than raising your guard out of habit. Its attacks do not build up Ignite or Stasis, so status is not a concern here. Defeating The Orphan gives 40,000 Catalysts and earns the Coup de Grâce achievement.
