Strategies


The key to this fight is to learn when to dodge his charging attacks, which have wildly different speeds. When he is lowering his blade to prepare for a dash attack, if he lowers it slowly, then there will be a slightly longer delay before his dash.

After he jumps away from you to do a charge (holds his sword horizontally) it is best to roll backwards. Afterwards quickly close the gap and you have a prime opportunity to do damage.
When he does his two diagonal slashes, if you roll forward and right on the first, the second should go over your head without needing to roll; saving stamina for a counterattack.

He will occasionally attempt to impale you (telegraphed by his sword glowing); roll towards or sideways to avoid. If this move connects, he'll buff his weapon with the same effect as the Bewitched Alonne Sword buff.

Be careful of getting too close to the wall while locked on, as if you move in front of a pillar the camera will move upwards and point into the ground, making it difficult to see.

Every time you dodge his attack, try to roll forward and slightly to the right, then hug his back side. His attacks become much less efficient when you're behind him (or behind his left side).

There are several points in the room where if Sir Alonne loses vision of you, he will no longer attack you or make any moves. If he is backed into either of the two corners on the side of the room with the entrance, standing on the other side of the pillar closer to the door such that you can't see him will give you a chance to heal, cast miracles, or even re-equip. Take note that if he isn't in the corner and you can still see the edge of his sword, he will still try to hit you through the wall, some of these attacks can hit you, so be sure you can't see him at all.
