Where to find the Knight of the Crucible and how to beat him
Storm Hill Eternal Jail is located in the Western Necrolimbo.
In order to find the Knight of the Crucible, you must go to the point that you see in the image on these lines. Once you enter the prison, your enemy will appear and it won’t take long for you to realize that he is not like those who have passed through your sword before. His movement pattern is really wide and certainly unpredictableso you will have to read them correctly based on trial and error. Be very careful with his tailespecially when it reaches the second phase.
What you should do is dodge his attacks as much as possible until launches with his sword from the side. That is its greatest weakness, since you can parry it very easily. After that, you can try to land a couple of hits on him while he gets up, but if you don’t feel safe, just wait for the parry. When he reaches the second stage, he will sprout wings and he will dive at you several times, so dodge as much as you can and watch out for tail sweeps, now has a longer range and that you can dodge by jumping. Keep waiting for the parry and, even if it is a long and tedious fight, you will end up victorious.
