Elden Ring: How To Defeat Black Blade Kindred
In order to advance further into Elden Ring, you will need to take on tougher foes scattered throughout the lands. Some of these bosses will be optional and will not affect how the story turns out in any way. However, facing these bosses can grant you amazing weapons, runes and get you used to that boss. Some optional bosses have a more difficult variant - Black Blade Kindred is one such boss that you face near the Bestial Sanctum in Caelid.
