How to beat Commander Niall in Elden Ring
You’ll have to defeat Commander Niall to get one-half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion needed to access the Consecrated Snowfield in Elden Ring. Niall is a powerful boss best faced at higher levels, given his hard-hitting, far-reaching attacks. If you put an end to him, you’ll walk away with 90,000 Runes, as well as the Veteran’s Prosthesis weapon. Here’s how to defeat this brutal opponent.
Niall is the main boss of Castle Sol, located in the Mountaintop of the Giants. You’ll find him beyond a Mist Gate located close to a lift at the top of the castle.
We highly recommend you avoid this boss until you’re level 100 or above. We were level 120 when we defeated him. Additionally, make sure you’ve acquired the Mimic Tear summon, as it helps out greatly in this fight.
Phase 1Once you’re through the Mist Gate, Niall will summon two guards that will proceed to attack you. This is why having the Mimic Tear is important. Summon your Mimic, and let it attack one guard while you tackle the other. Don’t worry too much about Niall in this phase; he mostly just walks around until you kill his guards.
Once you kill your guard, do not go help your Mimic with the other one. Instead, focus on Niall. During the first phase of the fight, Niall is a pretty manageable boss. Your strategy during this phase should be to simply hit Niall immediately after avoiding his attacks. We’ve listed each of his attacks below, along with how you should respond to them:
Melee strikes: Niall hits you with his flagpole, and may perform combos of up to four hits. You can avoid Niall’s melee strikes by dodging. If you’re behind him, he may try a slightly different melee combo that starts with him trying to stab you with the bottom of his pole, so be wary if Read more on gamepur.com
