Elden Ring: How To Beat Royal Knight Loretta

Turn around and head across and to the left. After rounding the next corner, you’ll spot an Abductor Virgin. After defeating this enemy, round the next tower walkway and drop down to the next landing. Below, you’ll find one Somber Smithing Stone [


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


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


After a hard-fought battle and knowing the attacks Red Wolf of Radagon will employ, you will surely achieve victory.

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


Return to the Manor Lower Level site of grace and head back out onto the walkways, this time taking the straight path, rather than the left one. Be careful with the spirit of Carian Knights, as they have a tendency to spawn behind you as well as ahead of you. Clear out the knights along the path, following it all the way until you reach the stairs leading to the elevator. Take the elevator up and rest at the Manor Upper-Level site of gr


Ranged players can have an easier time punishing Loretta during her casting animations, but you’ll also contend with a higher number of tracking spells being cast in your direction. If you’re relying on ranged attacks, keep your distance from her—this can help limit her move set, even if you’ll be getting a heavier number of spells heading your way. If you’re mixing it up in the melee, expect a mix of magic and melee from Loretta as she leaps around the battlefi

This trap can be a hazard during this fight, but you can also use it to your advantage , getting some free hits off on the O


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


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


This attack has a great tell, so you’ll always know when it’s happening. She begins casting the spell to the side, then aims it toward you as it reaches maximum charge . Sometimes, she will leap into the air to cast this spell, while other times she’ll simply rear back on her mount during the casting. The projectile is fairly easy to dodge, but it will sometimes impact the ground behind you and damage you with the impact damage. Your best bet is to dodge directly into the attack . This will put you far enough away from the impact zone to avoid any damage. Plus, it can help put you in an advantageous position to attack
