How to defeat the Knight of the Blind Dawn

Due to his intricate attack patterns and animations that fuse combos and aerial spins with his spear, the Knight of the Blind Dawn requires a lot of dodging and avoidance as you fight him. In this fight, patience is essential because you have to wait for the Knight combos to end before taking advantage of your opportunity to counterattack. Ranged strikes can initially help deal damage as you get used to the knight’s movements if escaping proves difficult.

Being familiar with follow-up attacks and using Precision Dodge in the last stages of the second attack animation are crucial to escaping. This move gives you the chance to quickly launch a counterattack if completed correctly. You can use Phoenix Shift to quickly close the gap between you and the knight after avoiding the attack, and then fire Rising Flames to deal damage. After this attack, if the knight is still unbalanced, back off and dodge his attacks again until the Rising Flame cools off. Keep doing this until the knight is discouraged.

Ring of Timely Evasion can help if you’re having trouble dodging the Knight’s combination attacks in the allotted time. Instead of having to anticipate attacks and hit the dash/evade button at the exact right moment, this device automatically deflects incoming enemy attacks. It is crucial to keep in mind that all timely accessories, including the Ring of Timely Evasion, are enabled by choosing the difficulty of the Story Focus mode before starting the game or by adjusting the Focused mode in the settings menu.

Knight of Dawn’s blinding abilities

Since the knight will need a few seconds to recover from his jumping abilities, the best time to start using combos and attacking him is immediately after you’ve successfully avoided his jumps. When the blue light indicators start to form on the ground, pay close attention to them as they indicate where the rider will land. In the indicated area, quickly activate the Rising Phoenix (if available and not in the cooldown), then quickly press the attack button to damage the target.

After being stunned by a cinematic hit in the later stages of combat, a knight will incorporate Double Jumps into his combo, requiring you to dodge twice to effectively avoid his attacks. Watch the rider and be prepared to adjust dribbling techniques to suit his high level of agility.
