Elden Ring: How To Defeat Commander Niall

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


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


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


Commander Niall can be found atop Castle Sol deep within Mountaintops of the Giants, one of the endgame areas in Elden Ring builds Ring . He poses quite a threat to lower-level players, but the rewards for defeating him can be very signific


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


While Niall is in his first phase, the fight is pretty straightforward, just dodge his sweeping attacks and try to roll behind him to get in some easy hits. When he enters his second phase, you should start out by staying as far away from him as possible because he will perform a massive AOE attack. Even while you're keeping your distance, prepare to dodge as soon as he's done swinging his banner around because he will leap into the air and try to come crashing down on you with his electrified


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


The Erdtree Burial Watchdog will raise its staff and summon several glowing glintstone orbs around its body. They will shoot upward, then seek you out. Simply dodging toward them at an angle will avoid most, if not


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


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


He'll try to hit you with some smaller, faster AOE attacks, but as long as you keep dodging and sneaking hits in, you will be able to whittle him down. If you're having too much trouble with him, you should try keeping your distance and let him come to you. You can sneak a few easy hits in when he rushes over to you, but afterward he will quickly resume his fast attack pattern. This fight is a test of patience and timing, but once you get used to the rhythm of his attacks, you will have an easy time beating him. Once he's finally defeated, you will be rewarded with a unique and powerful weapon, the Veteran's Prosthe


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
