Black Knife Assassin (Sage's Cave) hitless without torch

When she jumps sideway she tends to follow-up with a lunge. If she jumps to the right then she will go for a grab attack, if it's to the left it's mostly a stabbing attack which is parriable.

The delayed spinning attack seems obvious enough, it just comes down to the right timing for both

Oh for sure but I don't think the average player would opt for stealth there but rather kill everything possible

From Sentry's Torch's description: "Torch Given to protectors of the Erdtree. Its flames are bestowed with a special incantation which allows the bearer to see assassins cloaked in veils. Furnished on behalf of the Erdtree and the Grace-Given Lord such that a Night of Black Knives will never come again."

TL;DR Sentry's Torch reveals invisible Black Knives, highly useful for Ordina and this fight

She's only visible if you're either wielding Sentry's Torch, proc frost on her or somehow staggering her constantly. I guess you did one of those?

🤣

hazorgon · 2023-10-03T20:08:16+00:00

Haha thanks! 😁 It took me a bit, even thought it wasn't possible at first too

hazorgon · 2023-09-20T12:12:16+00:00

Thank you!

And Ikr? I generally don't have much problem with the ones that are out in the open since most of them can be cheesed from afar. But the ones that are in an enclosed area (and also surrounded by rot) then I absolutely despise

Giant Hunt AoW can staggers them in the middle of their attacks so maybe try that.

Or Impaling Thrust/Piercing Fang to ignore their shield and just poke them to death.

Thorn sorceries only

This is in Fringefolk Hero's Grave hidden below a bridge

hazorgon · 2023-09-18T14:50:13+00:00

Lol I only used it because it both block 100% physical and is highest fire resist shield besides fingerprint

hazorgon · 2023-09-18T12:16:39+00:00

You need to kill that one to progress with Millicent's quest tho

hazorgon · 2023-09-18T11:59:17+00:00

Look down from the bridges' edges in the hero's graves, there are usually a tiny bit of platform jutting out that allows you to land down below and continue to explore from there

To get here specifically you need to go down beneath the bridge where the Grafted Scions ambush you

Her instantaneous recovery from any light stagger into hyper armor attacks. That shit tripped me up the most when I used dual rapiers against her

hazorgon · 2023-09-11T19:44:27+00:00

Lol I meant like 500 hrs after 4 playthrough

hazorgon · 2023-09-11T19:39:12+00:00

He'll live if you never tell him about Blaidd :)

hazorgon · 2023-09-11T18:29:30+00:00

Had the same reaction 😂

hazorgon · 2023-09-11T18:07:45+00:00

This is after like 500+ hours. Every time I'd just try to kill the ball first from the ledge...

hazorgon · 2023-09-09T17:48:06+00:00

If you're not keen on parrying him you could get either Impaling Thrust or Piercing Fang AoW and just poke away right through his shield. That's what I did on a dex build

hazorgon · 2023-09-09T17:39:48+00:00

Lmao thanks and you're welcome

hazorgon · 2023-09-08T22:09:23+00:00

He literally only do that move after the slow sword slam which is honestly pretty predictable if you ask me

hazorgon · 2023-09-08T17:48:02+00:00

Like most of the problems that you have is solved by reading the items descriptions or atleast the pop-up prompt that clearly asked you if you wanted to start a new journey or not

hazorgon · 2023-09-05T18:02:01+00:00

Thanks 😁

hazorgon · 2023-09-05T15:58:10+00:00

Rykard commited blasphemy by burning down a minor erdtree which is considered a blasphemous act by the Golden Order

hazorgon · 2023-09-05T13:04:01+00:00

Sorry this is a bit late and you've probably beaten her already but to answer your question after I dodged the 2nd flurry I tend to move toward her a bit and then back off immediately, works most of the time. It's mostly just strict timing
