Black Blade Kindred - What I've learnt

Just finished fighting the Black Blade Kindred boss had a lot of trouble with him and when I was looking up advice, I saw a lot of other people were struggling too, so some advice I came up with from my experience: Overall: Fight him on the hill, not the stairs Don't use summons, distracting him makes his attacks harder to read and you will spend most of your time running over to him Don't wander too far down the hill or you risk attracting the adds by the Golden Seed tree If you need a break to gather your thoughts/use an item, you can ride Torrent over behind the Bestial Sanctum and he will de-aggro. Apparently if you do this right/long enough he will return to resting position but have the same health (kind of a cheese) If you have a build/gear that allows you to do quicker successive attacks, then you will be able to break his stance and do critical blows on him when he falls over (and you can try to get an extra hit in before/after that animation). I use the Bloodhound Fang so usually I was too slow to be able to do that and instead focused on hitting him intermittently with my skill attack Play defensively and don't be greedy, you don't want to get caught in the middle of an animation when you should be dodging Hitting him in the head while he is slouching over will do more damage (kind of difficult) I think quite a few of his attacks can be blocked but I focused on dodging + two hand in this fight When he is using the sword: Don't try to hit him while he is switching from the axe to the sword, he gains a deceptive amount of distance #BestialSanctum #BlackBladeKindred #Dragonbarrow #EldenRing #ForbiddenLands
