Where to find these sinister horsemen and tips for defeating them.
He’s not a tough boss, but a good one to start with.
you’ve got the option to tackle him early on.
First of allthe Night’s Cavalry and his horse have separate energy bars.
The boss bar at the bottom only decreases when you hit the rider himself with your weapon.
The horse has its own bar and it disappears (briefly) when this is used up.
Most blows from the side should hit both horse and rider.
The cavalryman is then knocked down and lies there for a while.
Use this moment for heavy attacks, he can’t defend himself.
It takes a few seconds for him to recover and summon the horse again.
The battle then continues as it started.
The cavalryman himself uses a Flail, but you might easily dodge it.
Alternatively, it’s possible for you to use the shield and the defense counter.
He will give you enough chances to exploit any gaps in his defense.
If your weapon is too sluggish, you risk a counter-hit, but that’s not so bad.
If you want to simplify the fight even more, then defend yourself while on horseback.
Cross the peninsula to the south and stop at the Site of Grace ‘Wall of Castle Morne’.
Let’s get ahead of the guy.
Your rewards for defeating them are3400 Runes,Nightrider Flail, and theBarricade ShieldAsh of War.
