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

Completing Caria Manor will also grant you access to the Three Sisters sub-region, a vital location for one of the game’s several endings.

Royal Knight Loretta can be a tough boss. She will ride around the arena, sending a variety of magical attacks towards you. If you get close, she will strike at you with her War Sickle weapon—her horse will attack as well. She can be quite the challenge, so make sure you’re prepared for the battle. Upgrade your weapon of choice as high as you can, and make sure you’ve collected any Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears in areas you’ve already explored. After defeating Royal Knight Loretta, you will acquire 10,000 Runes , Loretta’s Greatbow , and Ash of War: Loretta’s Sla


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

By 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 Walkthrough Ring that summons powerful enemy reinforcements. Whether you decide to bring your best Spirit Ashes or summon a friend, make sure you come prepared for a tough fi


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


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


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


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


Face away from the altar, and you’ll spot the boss door lever across the way. As you approach, be prepared for an Imp to leap at you from around the right corner . Dispatch the Imp, loot the three Old Fang items around the corner, and pull the boss door le


You will also find fingertips poking up from the ground, often just around a glowing item. This is a trap . When you stray too close, the large Fingercreepers will burst from the ground right into a grab attack, dealing some significant dam


This side passage has some maneuverability room, so wait here to fight the patrolling Omen. As long as you keep the fight contained to this room, the Omen in the central area won’t notice. As long as you’re taking on these Omen one at a time, you should be ok. Once both Omen are defeated, you’re free to loot the rest of this area. You’ll find one Ghost Glovewort [3], one Grave Glovewort [3], and one Prattling Pate "Wonderful" —a fun callback to Dark Souls and a way to communicate (sort of) with other play


While Loretta’s spell use can be quite aggressive , understanding the moves she’ll use against you can help tremendously in knowing which attacks you can punish and which attacks you need to be wary of. If you’re still struggling, you might consider heading up the stairs in the boss arena, off to the left from where you entered. There’s a large stone structure in the middle that you can use to break the line of sight, blocking spell projectiles. This move can be risky since it can make some of Loretta’s melee attacks slide around the stone unexpectedly, but it can offer a valuable break in the middle of the fight should you require
