He'll try to hit you with some smaller, faster AOE attacks, but as long as you keep dodging and sneaking hits in, you will be able to whittle him down. If you're having too much trouble with him, you should try keeping your distance and let him come to you. You can sneak a few easy hits in when he rushes over to you, but afterward he will quickly resume his fast attack pattern. This fight is a test of patience and timing, but once you get used to the rhythm of his attacks, you will have an easy time beating him. Once he's finally defeated, you will be rewarded with a unique and powerful weapon, the Veteran's Prosthe


The doorway leading out the northwest, at the top of the stairs, leads you to the boss fight of Caria Manor.

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

You’ll recognize the Sword Spin Attack by the Red Wolf summoning the sword and bringing its head back to its right (your left). This signals that it is about to begin the spin attack. Despite the intimidating nature of the move, it’s comparatively easy to dodge . If you dodge into the boss during the first swing, the follow-up from the spin is so quick that you should still have your I-frames from the first dodge. Once the move is complete, you’ll have a brief window during which you can strike before the Red Wolf of Radagon leaps a


At the end of the hall, you’ll enter a large room with a staircase running up the left side and a shadowy recess beneath the next landing. Beneath the next landing, you’ll find a sleeping Omen . Defeat it or sneak past it to acquire the Grave Glovewort [3] behind
