How to play Tower Knight in Elden Ring

With patience and good positioning, you can chip away at the Tower Knight safely. Stay mobile and watch those wide swings.

• -Stay behind him as much as possible. The Tower Knight is slow to turn around, so staying behind allows you to attack safely.

• -Watch out for his sweeping attacks. When he raises his weapon up high, get ready to dodge either left or right as he sweeps. His hitbox is very wide.

• -Don't stand directly in front of him. He has some attacks that target the area right in front, like hammer smash. Stay to his sides.

• -Avoid being near his shield arm. Attacks from this side tend to have longer reach and tracking. Stick to hitting his back or other side.

• -When he jumps and slams his shield, roll twice to avoid the hitbox. It has deceptive range for how high he jumps.

• -Use summons for distraction. Summoned allies can keep him occupied, giving you openings to attack from behind.

• -Lightning damage works well. Since he carries a large metal shield/armor, lightning incantations do bonus damage.

• -Hit and run tactics work. Get a few hits in, then back off to avoid any sweeps or slams. Repeat until defeated.

• -Prioritize survival over damage at first. Learning his moveset is key to avoiding oneshot kills.
