How To Find And Beat Blackgaol Knight In Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree
Recommended Videos
Blackgaol Knight is one of the optional bosses in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. The loot drop you get from this boss contains a full armor set and a greatsword, enough to carry you to mid-game if you do not happen to have one at the DLC’s start. This guide explains how to find and beat Blackgaol Knight in Elden Ring.
Blackgaol Knight Location
You can find Blackgaol Knight very early in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. From the ‘Gravesite Plan’ site of grace, head west, and you will come across a Mausoleum with two fire torches on both sides of the underground entrance.
You can also reach this location from Scorched Ruins, which happens to be near the first Map Fragment. Just go directly west from Scorched Ruins, and you will find the Western Nameless Mausoleum with the stairs leading downwards to Blackgaol Knight’s boss room.
How To Beat Blackgaol Knight
Blackgaol Knight wields a Greatsword and a crossbow that shoots fire bolts. You will find the boss switching between either weapon on the fly and trying to take you down, mostly with jump attacks using the Greatsword.
Since this is a human-sized boss, you can deal a lot of posture damage and break the poise. This will allow you to deal with a staggered attack, depleting most of Blackgaol Knight’s health in a single blow.
