Boss Attack Patterns and Strategies
The Death Knight boss follows a specific attack pattern that players need to be aware of. He usually performs two quick attacks followed by a delayed third attack. To avoid getting hit, players should roll twice quickly and then wait a little before performing the third roll to dodge the delayed attack.
The Grab Attack
Around 60% of the boss’s health, he will attempt a grab attack. It is crucial to dodge this attack because if it connects, the boss will regain half of his health. Players should be prepared to react quickly and avoid being grabbed at all costs.
Staggering the Boss
The Death Knight boss can be staggered by using heavy hitting attacks or jumping attacks. Light attacks are not effective in interrupting his combos, but heavy attacks can break his rhythm and provide opportunities for counterattacks. Timing is key when attempting to stagger the boss.
Dodging the Lightning Dash Attack
When the boss’s health is low, he may unleash a lightning dash attack. It is crucial to dodge through the boss instead of away from him during this attack. Dodging away will result in getting hit, so players should position themselves to let the boss pass through them.
Mastering these strategies and understanding the boss’s attack patterns will greatly increase the chances of defeating the Death Knight boss in Elden Ring. Good luck!
