Elden Ring: Caria Manor Walkthrough

When you pass through the fog door and confront the boss, Commander Niall will immediately start summoning two Banished Knights to assist him. If you are using Spirit Ashes for this fight, make sure to summon your helper as soon as you enter the boss arena because the enemies will start attacking you right after they appear. Ideally, you should allow your Spirit Ashes to distract one or both Banished Knights before attacking so that you can begin the fight more smoothly. If you happen to have Bewitching Branches, you can charm the two Banished Knights and have a much easier time fighting the boss, but this is not a necess


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 ring of chairs around the shallow pool, the enemies from the stairs will no longer pursue


At the top of the stairs, you’ll encounter a fog door requiring a Stonesword Key to open and another patrolling Omen enemy off to the right. Above the Omen, you’ll spot a couple of Imps who will begin throwing blue explosive pots down at you. They can make fighting the Omen difficult, so you’ll want to run up the stairs past the Omen and dispatch the two Imps before facing off against the Omen. Once these enemies are dispatched, loot the Rune Arc from beneath the third landing. Then, check out the room requiring the Stonesword Key. Inside, you will encounter one Imp guarding the Nox Mirrorhelm , one of the more unique helms in Elden R


After navigating the haunting and lengthy Caria Manor , you will come face to face with Royal Knight Loretta, the spirit warrior responsible for the rain of Glintstone Arrows on your initial approach to the manor. Defeating Royal Knight Loretta is necessary to access the Three Sisters sub-region, which is a major requirement in order to achieve one of Elden Ring 's best endi


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


Ride along this southern path, following the edge of Liurnia. You’ll eventually encounter some Vulgar Militiamen on the way. Continue riding past them all the way until you reach an item on a corpse sitting in a chair . Loot the item for one Somber Smithing Stone [2]. From this position, face north. You should spot two paths. On the right side, you’ll see the path you rode down. The path on the left will lead you to the Cliffbottom Catacombs entrance. Ride up that path until you reach the wooden d


Head out the far doorway and down the stairs. You’ll encounter a few large wolves in the area. Try to take them on one at a time. To the west, you’ll spot a Golden Seed guarded by a large wolf. Heading to the north, you’ll spot an item at the foot of a tree guarded by a patrolling wolf. It’s another x3 Rimed Crystal


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


Red Wolf of Radagon brings its head up to the left (your right) and summons the sword, blade sticking straight up. The Red Wolf will then swing the sword across once, then swing it back for a second follow-up attack. This is most often a two-strike combo , but Red Wolf will sometimes follow it up with a Sword High Leap attack. When you recognize this combo, wait to attack until after you’re sure the combo is finis


Return to the main path, and continue reading this.. through another archway. You’ll spot a small Fingercreepers clinging to the side, as well as an item on top of the archway. You can’t grab it yet, but we’ll be b


Loretta will empower her War Sickle with sorcerous blue energy and slash at you (often when her horse is leaping toward you). This move often comes in a two-hit combo , with each slash having a wide range of impact. If you can time your dodges well, you can end up in a great position to punish her after this attack completes. Otherwise, you can play it safe and dodge away until this attack finis
