How to reach Putrescent Knight in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

After defeating Rellana, it’s time to travel to the Cerulean Coast, where the third final boss of the Elden Ring DLC awaits.

After ending Rellana’s life in Castle Ensis, it’s time to visit a region as beautiful as it is hostile: Stone Coffin Fissure, Southern Shore, a gigantic cavern under the sea. In this part of our Shadow of the Erdtree guide, we will show you how to reach the Putrescent Knight, the third main boss of Elden Ring.

How to get to the Putrescent Knight

Strategy for defeating the Putrescent Knight

  • The most important thing to know is that despite its size, this enemy is very fast and restless, so don’t let your guard down at any time.
  • The physical attacks he makes with his weapon are easy to dodge, so it is very useful to roll towards his body and hit him a few times.
  • He has a special move that causes his horse to run towards you. The lunge is very damaging but can be blocked with the shield.
  • The horse has no life of its own, so don’t bother targeting or attacking it, as it will disappear in a matter of seconds.
  • As with other bosses, run when it rises into the air, as it will soon unleash a powerful magic attack.

After the fight there are no more paths in this area, so go to the Specimen Storehouse as the fourth boss of the Elden Ring’s DLC, Messmer the Impaler, awaits you.
