<br>You’ll recognize the Sword Spin Attack by the Red Wolf summoning the sword and bringing its head back to its right (your left). This signals that it is about to begin the spin attack. Despite the intimidating nature of the move, it’s comparatively easy to dodge . If you dodge into the boss during the first swing, the follow-up from the spin is so quick that you should still have your I-frames from the first dodge. Once the move is complete, you’ll have a brief window during which you can strike before the Red Wolf of Radagon leaps a<br><br> <br>Ranged players can have an easier time punishing Loretta during her casting animations, but you’ll also contend with a higher number of tracking spells being cast in your direction. If you’re relying on ranged attacks, keep your distance from her—this can help limit her move set, even if you’ll be getting a heavier number of spells heading your way. If you’re mixing it up in the melee, expect a mix of magic and melee from Loretta as she leaps around the battlefi<br><br><br> RELATED: Elden Ring Armor Guide Ring: How To Reach Cathedral Of The Forsaken <br><br>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.

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>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.

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 two-hand her War Sickle and draw it back over her left shoulder , charging up a single big attack. She charges it up longer than you’d think, so be careful not to start dodging too early. This attack can do some hefty damage, so when the attack starts, dodge into it to avoid the damage.

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.
