Elden Ring: How To Beat Royal Knight Loretta

After entering, head to the right. You should see a short staircase and keep in that direction. Head up those stairs and find the Glintstone Craftsman’s Cookbook [6] on a corpse in a room with a robed albinauric enemy. From this room, run along the stonework to the right and up some more stairs. You will encounter two more of these albinaurics and a Somber Smithing Stone [3] along this stone p


Return to the stairs where you just defeated the Troll. You’ll notice two stairways to take ahead. The one on the right only has one enemy, and the one on the left has two. Take the right path and try to battle these enemies one at a time. They’re quick, and they have strong ranged and melee attacks. You’ll find x5 Rimed Crystal Bud on one staircase and one Golden Run [4] on the top land


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


For the safest entrance, head to the bottom of the stairs and drop off the left side ; you should land in some green brush. Quickly crouch, and you will remain undetected. Another Omen will be patrolling the passages around the central chamber. Slip into the wide side passage nearby, where you can loot one Grave Glovewort [3] and three Hefty Beast Bone it


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


To reach the boss door, simply roll to the stairs, and head up the staircase. Follow that hallway along, and you’ll eventually reach the boss door lever. You might want to rest at the site of grace before proceeding, tho

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


This is one of the Red Wolf’s most frequently used moves. The wolf will leap to the side, summoning one to three blue sigils in the air in its path. After a short delay, each of these sigils will fire a single Glintblade projectile toward you. Due to the delay, you will often need to pay attention to the Magic Glintblades and whatever the Red Wolf’s follow-up attack will be. Try to dodge to the side with these attacks since dodging into the first attack might leave you getting struck with the follow-up (if the Red Wolf casts several in a r


This is probably Loretta’s favorite attack. She summons a number of magic swords to float around her, and they will shoot toward her when you draw near—or when she rides near. Even though she casts this spell so frequently, you can’t afford to ignore it since they can pile on the damage very quickly. Also, partway into the fight, she will buff herself, resulting in her summoning a larger number of swords with this spell. When she casts this spell, your best bet is to bait the swords to seek you out by getting within range. Make them trigger, allowing you to dodge on your terms and free her up for att


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


Proceed up to the third landing and into the room beyond. You should spot a pressure plate trap just at the entrance of the room in front of you, as well as an Imp hanging from the far wall. Another imp is lurking around the corner to the right. Once you’ve defeated these enemies, grab the Grave Glovewort [2] from the side of the room before proceeding down the next pass


The Red Wolf of Radagon is an extremely aggressive boss , simultaneously casting several seeking spells as well as utilizing several leaping, bite, and slash attacks to close the gap between you two. This can make for a quick and deadly battle if you aren’t prepared. Consider picking up any extra Golden Seeds or Sacred Tears you still haven’t grabbed in areas you’ve already explored. That extra bit of health from a Flask, or that extra Flask, can make the difference between victory and def
