But Royal Knight Loretta is no pushover. With a sorcery-heavy move set, plus the mobility that comes with being a mounted combatant , she can be a tough opponent to def


While you are fighting the knights, you can keep Commander Niall at a distance, and he won't pose any significant threat to you (yet). One of the Banished Knights wields dual swords, while the other has a sword and shield. The dual sword knight is far more aggressive and dangerous, so killing him should be your top priority. After the first knight is dead, you can choose to either leave the shield knight alive for a little while or kill him if he's putting too much pressure. You might want to leave the second knight alive for a while because killing both knights results in Commander Niall immediately entering his second ph


One of his deadlier attacks is when he picks up his electrified leg and slams it into the ground, but luckily he heavily telegraphs this move. Whenever you see him lifting his leg into the air, roll away from the boss as fast as you can. Likewise, you should create some serious distance between you and the boss whenever you see him grab his banner with both hands and start winding up a big attack. Other than that, you should focus on rolling behind him and attack


You’ll eventually reach a landing with a ladder going down. Before doing that, head up onto the rooftop to the east where you’ll find a corpse with x5 Old Fang on it. Head down the ladder , and you’ll find yourself on the upper balcony above the Chapel at the Manor Lower Level site of grace. From here, you can loot the corpse at the edge carrying one Spellproof Dried Liv


At the top of the stairs, you’ll encounter a fog door requiring a Stonesword Key to open and another patrolling Omen enemy off to the right. Above the Omen, you’ll spot a couple of Imps who will begin throwing blue explosive pots down at you. They can make fighting the Omen difficult, so you’ll want to run up the stairs past the Omen and dispatch the two Imps before facing off against the Omen. Once these enemies are dispatched, loot the Rune Arc from beneath the third landing. Then, check out the room requiring the Stonesword Key. Inside, you will encounter one Imp guarding the Nox Mirrorhelm , one of the more unique helms in Elden Ring Maps R


Be wary of daggers sticking out of the ground. These are rudimentary magic traps. When you activate them by stepping nearby, the dagger shoots up, the ground lights up blue, and after a short delay, a magic projectile shoots straight up into the air. Easy to avoid, but when dealing with other enemies, they can catch you unaw

Completing Caria Manor will also grant you access to the Three Sisters sub-region, a vital location for one of the game’s several endings. If you’re struggling to reach Caria Manor and need a nudge, or if you’re hoping to grab every item available at the location, follow this guide to unlock all of its secr


In the second phase, the boss is much stronger and has a wider variety of AOE and distance-closing attacks, so you will have to play it by ear and decide if you'll have an easier time with the fight by stalling his second phase. If you leave the knight alive too long and the boss drops below 50% health, he will enter the second phase regardless, and then you will be in some serious trou


Occasionally, Loretta’s horse will rear up when you’re directly in front of her. You should recognize this attack from other mounted enemies you’ve faced. The hooves will eventually come down in a stomping attack. You can dodge right before impact, but you can also simply sidestep around her as the attack readies—the horse won’t be able to turn as quickly as you’re circling, so the attack will go wide, allowing you a window for a charged counteratta

The Red Wolf of Radagon is very acrobatic , leaping around the relatively small boss arena, and it is constantly summoning magic spells to worry about—on top of its quick bite and slash melee attacks. You’ll need to defeat it to proceed through the rest of the academy, so read on to learn about the boss’ moves and which ones you can pun


After resting at the site of grace, head deeper into the catacombs until you reach an elevator platform. Ride this down to the bottom and proceed down the next hall. You’ll encounter two Imps in the next room, lurking around the corners. Dispatch them and loot the Root Resin at the far end of the r


Often performed right after casting a Magic Glintblade, Red Wolf of Radagon leaps forward suddenly with a single bite attack. The momentum of the attack carries it well past you, so there isn’t a good opportunity to attack during this movement. Just be ready for this move; it has a surprising range, enabling the Red Wolf to clear most of the room with a single l
