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
