Elden Ring – Crucible Knight Boss Fight (No Damage Taken) / Crucible Knight No Damage Boss Fight Guide / Tutorial / How To Beat Crucible Knight Elden Ring. Just a quick video showing the Crucible Knight boss fight in Elden Ring. Details below.
Well, this was an unexpected boss. Network test had Bloodhound Knight here, instead it’s Crucible Knight. One of the better side-bosses in the game so far, fun fight to learn and play. I think that’s all of the bosses in Limgrave done no damage now, will take a little break as I’ve been up for hours and return at some point later.
Any major story spoilers won’t be shown on the channel, outside of boss names and boss pictures (except for those with major story spoilers or implications / final boss). If you’re worried about seeing an image and names of random bosses during the game then I apologise, but every single other channel covering the game is also doing the same. So it wouldn’t make sense trying to avoid posting boss names when uploading these. Will go through all of the bosses with no damage, and post location guides or anything else in between.

Eso, great content and fast as always but I'm going to unsub for a while to avoid boss spoilers for the game myself
wow. his design is badass
How do you even have time i have my hands full with D2 😂
I thought Hive Guardians were in the Crucible for a sec.
How to get his amor and weapon?
Wait, thats not Shaxx.
Absolutely disgraceful. He never threw a single grenade!
Wtf you can play a samurai? Thats sick
Anyone knows the soundtrack that plays while fighting them? Been trying to search for it ;-;
Nearly choked at the end lol nice going
What kind of weapon is he using
Samurai looks op a bit
when i fought this boss I did about 30 damage per hit so I had to learn to parry all of his attacks perfectly to beat him. Second phase is hellish because you parry the first attack or roll out because he always uses his tail after a whiff.
I'm playing the samurai class as well and I noticed at the beginning you did this attack where you sheathed the uchigatana, how exactly did you do that?
Im lvl 15 hero build and im at like 30 tries now. Still cant kill the fucker uhh
What a piece of shit boss
This boss is so fucking garbage. Literally beat Margit my second attempt and haven't died once to any of the 10 dungeon bosses I've faced. Died twice to Leonine Misbegotten, but apparently can't beat this douche after 20 deaths. You can only seldom punish his moves and if RNG is just garbage then have fun waiting
Yet another fight to remind me how shitty anything larger than a greatsword is in this game
Im so glad i chose to play as a warrior. My gameplay is completely different and faster paced. Didn't manage to get a no dmg run but i didn bully him like nobody else
Fuck this boss, I actually had to go get some levels and flasks to retry again and it hurt my ego. Then it gives a spell I can't even use and only 2100 runes XDDDDD
Just a tip, when he does the spin attack like here 1:04 you can jump over his second spin and get a strong jump attack.
Shit boss.
Wow, so why do I get the feeling dealing with certain bosses its just easier with faster weapons? Kinda feels like it defeats the purpose of trying out different things for builds. I'm using an average speed greatsword and I still feel slow af
wow I’m beginning to believe that Esoterickk is one of the best players out there in the world his skills are jaw dropping
That tail was a lot of trouble
Just wait til you have to fight him and his friend at the same time
Such a fun boss fight. After I beat him I wanted to keep fighting him lol. He reminded me of Champ Gundyr in DS3. Fast paced and small windows to attack
In my opinion all of the evergaol enemies or however you spell it are really easy to shoot with sorcery or miracles. They jump around some but there's a grace period if you hang back enough where they will walk at you without attacking.
yeah this is fuckin bull shit he is doing two tail swipes on me in a row which i have not scene in your video and his second just hits the whole fuckin arena no way to dodge block or get away.
this + misbegotten combo is worse than O&S
Took me around 50 minutes and like 15 attempts boss takes time to get used to
what i dont get is how you staggered him before the second phase. everytime i use my uchi with the unsheathe i never staggered him.
I could never get a hit off because of that fucking tail
Cant even heal coz he is non-stop stabbing me, fuck this
Wow didn't know he had all those moves, when i fought him the 100th+ time he got stuck at the edge of the ring and i cheesed him with my bow 😅
OK, so after dying to this mf for like 50 times in a row, I finally managed to figure him out and beat him near-flawlessly with melee only. Here's what I got out of my fight with him:
1. The arena: The arena itself is pretty big, but there are some rocks and trees that can hinder your movement so I recommend fighting him only in the stone circle zone in the middle if you don't want to have to pay attention to potential obstacles.
2. Dodging him: This is surprisingly easy. If you run away and dodge constantly, he will literally never reach and hit you.(of course, if you time your dodges correctly). What I did was circle him constanty around the inner stone circle of the arena. Try to always stay a few meters away from him while baiting his attacks. He has two attacks that leave him quite open, which I will discuss in the next point.
3. Getting hits in: This is the hard part. Sure, you can run forever but you have to get hits in every now and then. After studying his attack patterns I found 2 really good opportunities to hit him: First is his shield bash attack. As I mentioned previously, you should try to always stay a few meters away from him and bait his attacks. When you see him doing his shield bash, roll into him after he does the attack and hit him once, then roll back away immediately, and continue your running and dodging strategy. His next attack that leaves him open is his stomp+one handed strike. After he does the stomp, he will do a one-handed strike with his sword. As always, keep your distance and roll into him only after he does the sword strike, and then hit him once. It's EXTREMELY important to time this correctly, because if you roll into him too early he will continue his combo and hit you, so only roll/run into him to attack after he does his downward sword strike. He cannot act while doing his animation of pulling back his shield.
4. Phase 2: After the fight progresses a little, he gains some new attacks: The one where he charges you while flying is easy to dodge normally, and the tail one should not be a problem if you keep you distance from him. He also has a double-tail attack with extreme range. This one can be jumped over, but be careful to time it correctly. (This attack also seems to leave him open, but I think it's quite risky to try to get any hits in here).
And yeah thats it. Run away constantly and keep and eye on the moves that leave him open. He can fuck you up if you get too cocky. It may take a while doing it this way, but it's a really safe way to do the fight.
This boss made me git gud at parrying and now I’m doing much better for it.
Shocked how bad the reward is for beating this ridiculous ass boss. Ok here goes attempt #30
Very badass and fun, but the tail swipe in the second phase is so annoying.
He can do it anytime and if you mess up the timing once you are dead.
That was a thing of beauty.
For this guy I just turned all my estus into ashen estus then baited attacks for openings to use the glintstone pebble spell. Even though it is a fast spell this guy turtles behind his shield which blocks most of the damage. The foot slam attack or sword scrape attack were great opportunities for hits, but he seemed to do them rarely so I would just use a spell after his forward lunge attack and hope he went for another swipe. There were other opportunities but the windows were so small that most of the time my spells would hit his shield and in the end I’d run out of ashen estus, or I’d just die because I had no healing and this guy two shot me. Really fun boss though. 10/10 would play again.
