thegamer.com:

There are over 100 bosses in Elden Ring. Most of them are optional, but the enjoyment players get out of Soulslike game is besting these various difficult enemies. Many bosses found within dungeons end up recycled and overdone by mid-game. Evergaols are where you want to start looking for unique and tough fights.

Seeking out Evergaols is one way to challenge yourself in Elden ring and gain some pretty useful and highly-sought after loot. Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader resides within the Ringleader's Evergaol in Liurnia Of The Lakes. Their move sets are identical to other black knife enemies you may have faced.

The Ringleader's Evergaol is North-West of the Moonlight Altar Site of Grace. It is past an area full of sleeping dragons. The Moonlight Altar overlaps with the mountain the Village of Albinaurics is on in South-West Liurnia. The only way to reach this part of the map in Elden Ring is by progressing in Ranni The Witch's questline. Upon defeating Astel for her, you will be able to access the Deep Ainsel River Well which takes you to the Moonlight Altar.

Alecto drops the Spirit Ashes for Black Knight Tiche. This is a legendary Spirit Ash that has Black Knife movesets and will either obliterate or confuse tough enemies you need an extra hand with.

Dagger Strikes

Alecto's regular move set involves slashing her dagger toward you multiple times, consistently, in quick succession. This is overwhelming. If you take one hit you'll find yourself losing the fight quickly, getting staggered, and unable to keep up with the fast attacks. Once she's done, she will quickly retreat and make space, allowing you to breathe.

Counter: You'll quickly be able to identify her quickly
