Upon entering the cave, you will come face to face with Necromancer Garris. Your progress will only continue once you have successfully defeated him.

Tips for overcoming the Black Knife Assassin

The Black Knife Assassin is a familiar foe to Elden Ring players, but this encounter may prove more challenging. This boss is entirely imperceptible to the unaided eye.

The Black Knife Assassin holds a notable upper hand in this fight. Its ability to launch surprise attacks and catch you unaware is a major advantage. Its attacks mainly consist of common slashes and swipes, except for one move to beware of: a grab attack in which it plunges a knife into your chest.

  • As your opponent is subtle, it is best to remain in the middle of the arena and observe the movement of the water.
  • At all times, swing your weapon like crazy. Eventually, you will make contact.
  • Use a Spirit Ash, preferably the Mimic Tear Ash, to keep a track of your enemy.

The purpose of the Concealing Veil Talisman is to hide the wearer when they are crouched and avoiding enemies.

Remember, it operates differently when facing PvP/PvE opponents and NPCs.

In both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment battles, the talisman proves to be highly effective. While crouching, the talisman renders you invisible to others as long as you remain at a distance. A small icon indicating the use of the talisman will be displayed under your health bar.

When utilizing the Concealing Veil Talisman against NPCs, your chances of being detected are reduced, although the effect is subtle.

If your presence is discovered by an enemy, you will be targeted and locked on.
