Elden Ring: How To Find (& Defeat) The Valiant Gargoyle Duo
The Valiant Gargoyle is a Great Enemy Boss in Elden Ring that guards the Deeproot Depths coffin transit in the Great Waterfall Basin of Siofra Aqueduct. This boss battle can be especially challenging for Tarnished as it forces the player to face not one but two Gargoyles during the fight. Furthermore, during the Valiant Gargoyle's second phase, another Twinblade-wielding variant will emerge from the cascade, joining forces with its twin to attack the Tarnished in Elden Ring. As a result, the boss fight can become notably frustrating as adventurers are target-locked on one Gargoyle but are killed off-camera by its partner.
To encounter the Valiant Gargoyle in Elden Ring, players must reach the Siofra Aqueduct, a small sub-zone north of the Ancestral Woods in the upper level of Siofra River. This area becomes available once Tarnished have defeated Radahn and gained access to Nokron. After beating the Mimic Tear boss and crossing the great overpass opposite the Night's Sacred Ground, players can find a semi-hidden cliffside trail in the north leading to Siofra Aqueduct. Along the way to the Valiant Gargoyle Duo's lair, adventurers will encounter a Crucible Knight and Crucible Tree Knight guarding the area, along with several zombified humanoids.
