Elden Ring: Cliffbottom Catacombs Walkthrough

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


Due to the nature of her magic attacks seeking you out, it’s almost never a good idea to dodge away from her, as you run the risk of rolling away from the attack and into the same attack, just further away. Instead, prioritize rolling toward her or to the sides to avoid unnecessary dam


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


From now on, you'll need to adapt to his new move set. He may take an unusual stance and start summoning frost energy around him, and if you see him doing this, then you need to run far because this attack will launch a massive AOE blast that is nearly unavoidable. After the blast, he'll slide around and swing his banner in wide sweeps, so it's best to keep dodging if your Spirit Ashes haven't distracted him a


Proceeding through the archway, you’ll spot an item off to your left with several smaller Fingercreepers nearby. The item is another bunch of x2 Rimed Crystal Bud. A little further past that, you’ll find x6 Glintstone Firefly. Be wary: there are some Large and small Fingercreepers waiting in the ground to sneak att


Next, you'll want to equip a solid set of armor that will allow you to absorb some physical damage without dying. Equipping heavy armor such as the Tree Sentinel Armor and Crucible Axe Elden Ring armor guide is ideal, but you should always make sure that you maintain a Medium Equipment Load regardless of what you decide to use. Lastly, bring your most upgraded Spirit Ashes or your toughest friend, and you're ready to


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


You’ve likely faced a variant of this boss before, but in case you haven’t, be prepared for a challenge. The Burial Watchdog bosses have erratic and powerful attacks , making dodging them extra difficult. This boss wields a staff, casts magic attacks, and will occasionally breathe fire from its three heads. If you’re using a ranged or magic build, you might have an easier time. You’ll just need to keep your distance and pepper the boss with an attack. If you’re mixing it up in the melee and having trouble getting the dodge timing right, consider using a shield for guard counters . Otherwise, here are some moves to watch out


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


An easy attack to avoid but important to keep in mind. If you end up directly behind Loretta and her horse, there’s a chance her horse will kick you right in the teeth with its back legs. As long as you are expecting it, the attack can be easy to dodge, allowing you a solid window during which to att


Fast travel back to the Manor Upper-Level site of grace, then retrace your steps through the Troll and sorcerer fight on the stairs. All of those enemies will have respawned, so you should run straight through them. You have a boss fight ahead, so you’ll want to preserve your resources. Run straight up the stairs and through the far doorway. Once you’ve reached the Elden Ring Armor guide of chairs around the shallow pool, the enemies from the stairs will no longer pursue


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


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
