Elden Ring: Caria Manor Walkthrough

Before you proceed, head back down the elevator to the walkway you were just on. If you look southeast and down, you’ll spot a walkway you can reach. Take a running jump and leap down there. Loot the corpse with x8 Rimed Crystal Bud, then head left/north down the wooden stairs. Beneath the stairs, you will find a corpse carrying one Golden Rune [3] . The path dead-ends on this side, so head back up the stairs and head across the way and down the next set of wooden stairs. As you round the corner, you’ll spy four small Fingercreepers hanging out. After slaying the Fingercreepers, loot the corpse just beyond them to acquire Urumi , a unique bladed whip wea

by Schlimme Dinge the time you reach Commander Niall, you should be well-acquainted with both Spirit Ashes and the phantom summoning system. You will definitely want to recruit help for this fight, as this is one of the few bosses in Elden Ring that summons powerful enemy reinforcements.

If you keep your distance, Loretta defaults to several ranged magic abilities, many of which have delays in their casting . This allows her to cast one spell, then begin casting another before the first spell actually goes off, resulting in several spell projectiles heading your way all at once throughout the fight. This means it becomes incredibly important to learn her attack timing in order to dodge multiple spells and moves happening at the same t


Loretta will leap toward you, slamming her War Sickle down at you, and will quickly follow it up with a stab and another overhead slash . There’s a slight delay between each attack, which can bait you into attacking before it’s safe. She will occasionally switch this from a three-attack combo to a four-attack combo . If her third attack is instead a cross-body stab, she’ll always follow that up with an upward slash. Wait to ensure she has finished her combo before attacking, or you’ll be taking some frustrating h


Returning to the central path, just beyond the fountain you’ll come across an item on the ground ahead of the archway forward. The item on the ground is a Golden Rune [4] , and when you approach, another large Fingercreepers will drop onto you. Watch your he

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


For ranged weapon or magic users, this fight can prove to be extra difficult due to the aggressive nature of the Red Wolf and how quickly and frequently it will close the gap to melee range with you. Consider utilizing one of your tanky Spirit Ashes to draw the Red Wolf’s attention and allow you the extra space to fire off your spells or arr


Partway into the fight, Loretta will raise her shield and summon a blue sigil in the air before her. This marks when she’s powered up. This buff increases the number of swords summoned by Carian Phalanx , empowers her Loretta’s Greatbow spell, and increases the number of projectiles fired by her Glintstone Stars abil


You’ll recognize this attack when the Red Wolf of Radagon rears up on its hind legs, draws back, then lunges forward with a powerful bite attack. This attack is only ever a single attack, with a long pause after as the wolf resets, so if you’re able to recognize it and dodge in time, you’ll be able to capitalize on the Red Wolf’s pause after it completes the m

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
