Tips & Strategy

  • Parrying is the most effective strategy -- his attacks are well-telegraphed and highly parryable
  • Phase 2 adds a tail sweep (jump over it) and a flying charge (dodge sideways)
  • Do NOT try to outspace him -- he will punish with his thrust attack at medium range
  • Guard counters with a 100% physical shield are a safe alternative to parrying
  • Practice this fight -- Crucible Knights appear as regular enemies later and this builds skill
