Melee Users
This boss can switch between a Greatsword and a Crossbow giving him an edge in melee and ranged situations. The crossbow gives him an advantage against melee users so it's ideal to stay within attacking distance by going up to him. You'll likely end up getting your HP drained without a fight if you stay far back while you have a melee weapon. You can also equip a shield to block his ranged attacks.
The fight against Knight of the Solitary Gaol usually begins with a Crossbow attack. He fires up to 10 Arrows rapidly following the player's movement and he requires a brief moment to either reload or switch to the Greatsword. There are some situations where his Arrow will have a fire element to it, which can end up damaging you even if you put your shield up. While he's firing the attack, youcan run to one side diagonally, or horizontally and engage him in melee combat.
At first, his attacks are slow and simple. He swings his greatsword with a powerful slash and you can stay out of his path by rolling to your right side. He usually holds up the sword with his right arm, and this direction gives you the biggest space to cut off his reach. If you have a shield equipped, you can use it to block his incoming attacks or attempt a parry. Both of these methods will give an opening to attack him for maybe 1 or 2 attacks, depending on how fast your attack speed is. Opt for heavy attacks or Ash of War attacks to cut him off in between combos. This can apply a Stagger if you repeatedly hit him with heavy attacks.
If you find yourself needing to restore HP, make sure to do it at a safe distance and that you have enough time. He may switch to the Crossbow or do a Wide Slash attack that lets him close the gap to perform a melee attack. Another strategy here is to alternate using your shield, go on offense by attacking him as you move to the right. This will give you a moment to attack him from behind for increased damage and also makes you move away from his right weapon swings.

Alternatively, you can also put up your shield to reduce incoming damage if yourmovespeed is not fast enough. |
| Overhead Slash | Using theGreatsword, he swings an attack from his back and slashes overhead to deal massive damage. | Dodge by rolling to your right side;Use a shield. |

| Greatsword Stab | When the player loses their footing and gets staggered, he will make a quick stabbing motion with the greatsword that can finish off a player when their health is about 40% or lower. | Pay attention to your stance and try not to get hit continuously. Break off his attack pattern by rolling away from him, or put your shield up if available. |
| Quick Slash | He swings the greatsword to the side, up to three times. This move is usually a 3-step attack pattern that swings once per directionand ends with an Overhead Slash. | Keep out of his attack range by rolling away from him. You can roll backwards safely, or you may also use your shield. |
| Spirit Slash | Using both hands, he raises the greatswordabove his headand charges up an attack. After about a second, the attack is ready and he releases a Spirit Slash in front of him. | Dodge by rolling to your right side; Use a shield. |
