The Lands Between are full of creepy bad guys and hard fights in Elden Ring. One such bad dude is the Putrescent Knight, a super strong enemy hiding in the new Shadow of the Erdtree add-on. This guide will show you where is the Putrescent Knight and how to beat him!
Location: Stone Coffin Fissure
Head to the Cerulean Coast area. It’s a big place on your map, and there are lots of things to find there. The Putrescent Knight is hiding in a secret spot there. Look around the Cerulean Coast for a place called the Stone Coffin Fissure. It’s a small dungeon under a big Erdtree. You can find it by going east from the edge of the area.
When you find the Stone Coffin Fissure, there’s a resting spot called a Site of Grace. Touch this to heal up and get ready for a fight. Standing by the Site of Grace, you’ll see stairs going up. But the Putrescent Knight is down below. Don’t worry, jump off the cliff next to the stairs! You won’t get hurt.
When you land near the boss fight, you might see a glowing sign on the ground. This is a friendly ghost who can help you fight the Putrescent Knight. You can summon them to attack the knight and make it easier to win. The Putrescent Knight is a big, scary guy who rides a creepy skeleton horse. It has a giant weapon that hurts a lot, so be careful! The horse can also trample you if you’re not paying attention.
Watch Out for These Moves!
The Putrescent Knight has a few different attacks you need to look out for:
- Big Swings: The knight swings its weapon really hard, so dodge to the side or back to avoid getting hit.
- Horse Charges: The knight rides its horse at you to knock you down. Dodge or attack the horse to stop it.
- Ground Slams: The knight slams its weapon on the ground, hurting anyone nearby. Run away when it winds up for this attack.
- Horse Bites and Kicks: The horse can attack you too, so watch out for its teeth and hooves!
Even Scarier Attacks After Half Health!
When the Putrescent Knight gets hurt enough, it gets even stronger! The horse disappears, and its weapon gets icy. Here’s what to watch out for now:
- Ice Shoots: The knight shoots icy arrows that can freeze you. Dodge or block these to stay safe.
- Icy Breath: The knight breathes out a big blast of cold air that hurts a lot and freezes you fast. Run away quickly!
- Stronger Swings: The knight’s normal attacks become even more powerful, so be extra careful dodging!
The Putrescent Knight’s Weak Spots
Every tough enemy has a chink in their armor, and the Putrescent Knight is no exception! Here’s what hurts this creepy knight the most:
- Fire: The Putrescent Knight seems especially vulnerable to fiery attacks. If you have any weapons or spells that deal fire damage, use them! Weapons like the Blasphemous Blade can be very effective.
- Lightning: Lightning strikes a jolt into this knight as well. Equip any lightning-based weapons, spells, or even consumable items like Lightning Grease or Perfumer’s Lightning Bolts to exploit this weakness.
- Holy Power: For those who follow the Erdtree’s golden light, holy damage is another effective weapon against the Putrescent Knight. Holy spells, weapons, and Ashes of War can all deal significant damage.
Rewards for Winning!
If you beat the Stinky Knight, you’ll get some awesome loot:
- Stinky Knight armor set: This armor protects you well and looks really cool, all messed up and stuff.
- Stinky Knight’s sword: A super strong sword that gets even stronger with high skill and strength.
- Ancient Stinky Knight Medallion: A rare item you can use to craft powerful things.
By following this guide, you should be able to find the Stinky Knight in Elden Ring and win the fight! Remember, it’s a tough battle, so be prepared and use the tricks above. Good luck,
