<br>The boss will rear up on its hind legs, staff raised high, and approach you with its eerie gait. This attack comes quickly, so keep your eye on its staff. The moment you see the staff raise up slightly , it’s going to slam down hard. Dodge at the right time, and you’ll have a great window to att<br><br> <br>Before you rush into the fight, you'll want to adjust your armor and defense stats according to the boss's attacks. Aside from the fact that he hits like a truck, he also uses a variety of powerful lightning-based moves to decimate your HP. The solution to this dilemma is to significantly boost your lightning resistance, as doing this will help you tank some of Niall'S strongest attacks with ease. One of the easiest ways to do this is to equip the Boltdrake Talisman, a very useful accessory that you probably already picked up back in Stormveil Castle near the beginning of your jour<br><br> <br>While you are fighting the knights, you can keep Commander Niall at a distance, and he won't pose any significant threat to you (yet). One of the Banished Knights wields dual swords, while the other has a sword and shield. The dual sword knight is far more aggressive and dangerous, so killing him should be your top priority. After the first knight is dead, you can choose to either leave the shield knight alive for a little while or kill him if he's putting too much pressure. You might want to leave the second knight alive for a while because killing both knights results in Commander Niall immediately entering his second ph<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>This is the first of several attacks which involve the Red Wolf of Radagon summoning a magical blade in its mouth. The Red Wolf leaps high into the air, then comes down hard with a single slam attack . You might encounter this move as the final move in a combo with the sword, or more commonly, you’ll encounter this move as a single attack. There is always a delay after this attack as Red Wolf resets and prepares for its next attack, so you’ll have a good window to att<br><br> <br>Commander Niall can be found atop Castle Sol deep within Mountaintops of the Giants, one of the endgame areas in Elden Ring . He poses quite a threat to lower-level players, but the rewards for defeating him can be very signific<br><br> <br>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 .

She can sometimes repeat this attack a surprising number of times in a row, so be ready to dodge repeatedly when you see her begin this attack sequence. If you’re already at range, you can get away with sidestepping these projectiles as they seek you out. Early in the fight, she will cast a version of this attack that only sends out a single magical blast, but she seems keener to use the powered-up vers<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>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.
