How to easily defeat the Recreant Knight in Forspoken

sportskeeda.com:

Shortly after bringing Robian back to Cipal in Forspoken, Tanta Sila will make her first in-game appearance. Clearly unhappy that people are disobeying her, Sila, being the strongest of the Tanta, has to make her displeasure known. To do so, she summons one of her signature minions, the Recreant Knight. A powerful, fire-wielding angelic entity, it’s a difficult fight for players who are unaware of the trick to beating it.

Following this initial encounter, players will have to fight many more Recreant Knights, which will be the same every time. Thankfully, it can be an easy fight with the right knowledge, whether it’s the boss variant or the regular ones that you'll fight across Tanta Sila’s domain later on.

In the very first appearance of the Recreant Knight, it’s being controlled by Tanta Sila directly and will introduce you to the attacks and abilities this particular enemy will use against you later on in the game.

You may notice something right away in Phase 1 of this Forspoken boss battle, which is that you can’t harm the main body of the Recreant Knight. Don’t waste your time doing that and lock onto the boss’ wings instead (it doesn’t matter which one), and unload all of your damage on it. Scatter Shot is highly recommended here as it delivers fast and reliable damage as you hold the button down.

At this point, you should continuously dish out damage until you break one of its wings. Doing so will result in this Forspoken
