<br>Commander Niall can be found atop Castle Sol deep within Mountaintops of the Giants, one of the endgame areas in Elden Ring beginner guide Ring . He poses quite a threat to lower-level players, but the rewards for defeating him can be very signific<br><br> <br>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 <br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>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<br><br> <br>You’ll recognize this attack when the Red Wolf of Radagon rears up on its hind legs, draws back, then lunges forward with a powerful bite attack. This attack is only ever a single attack, with a long pause after as the wolf resets, so if you’re able to recognize it and dodge in time, you’ll be able to capitalize on the Red Wolf’s pause after it completes the m<br><br> <br>Head out of this room and turn toward your left. You’ll spot an Imp hanging on the ceiling above the next passage forward. Down this passage, another Imp hangs from the wall.

Before doing that, head up onto the rooftop to the east where you’ll find a corpse with x5 Old Fang on it.

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.

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>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>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<br>
