This is how to defeat Bloodhound Knight Darriwil in the latest FromSoftware game. The game developers pride themselves on making the best Soulslike games after single-handedly carrying the genre in the past few years with each project being a massive improvement from what came before.
Most players struggle against Bloodhound Knight Darriwil and for good reason. Hopefully, this guide will help you improve your chances against this overpowered foe if you haven’t beaten him already.
FromSoftware has struck gold in the Soulslike genre and is double dipping everything the game developers have learned from previous projects. Bloodhound Knight Darriwil takes the crown as one of the hardest and most annoying optional bosses in the base game that can be found at Limgrave and this fight will make or break the spirits of the player base.
The journey to reach this enemy is not as hard; however, it does require a bit more effort from the players’ side and it will not be long before they reach Forlorn Hound Overgaol. Once you have reached the arena, a message will appear, and act as an invitation for the Tarnished to enter Evergaol. Once players set foot in the arena, they can no longer request aid from friends or summons.
Tip
Elden Ring players should have a decent and strong build before entering the arena since this will be another straight-up fight to the death without the help of summons or friends.
Bloodhound Knight Darriwil is a slippery enemy that is very agile and can inflict bleed status through its Bloodhound’s Fang Curved Greatsword. Players should have mastered parrying by then. Players can easily stagger this enemy after a few swings and perfect parries providing them a short window of opportunity to deliver some punishment from their side.
Other optional boss battles in the Shadow of the Erdtree like Count Ymir, Mother of Fingers are much easier to defeat, Bloodhound Knight Darriwil will give the player base a run for their money. Elden Ring players who played Soulslike games will be pleased to know that the dodging strategy is still viable in this installment and the key to defeating this specific boss.
Putting enough distance between you and the boss will be challenging, especially with its ability to disappear and reappear in front of the Tarnished. However, most players recommend keeping their distance far enough to trick the enemy into attacking and give themselves time to strike.
It is important to familiarize all the attack patterns of Bloodhound Knight Darriwil and figure out the best method to counter them. Once the boss has his claws on the ground and dragging it, he will immediately rush and strike upwards towards you. After this attack, he will be vulnerable for a short period.
The boss has a terrible knack for disappearing and dashing toward you. Players should have a good read on their surroundings and be ready to evade, block, or by some miracle parry these attacks to survive. The sword strikes are much more unpredictable, sometimes it will slash its sword twice or thrice; however, there is no pattern to it, and these attacks are much more random.
Once players have perfectly parried a few attacks, and dodged some sword slashes to return the favor with a few strikes, it will not take long before Bloodhound Knight Darriwil will become another fallen enemy. Players can then collect their rewards which are 1900 runes for currency and the Bloodhound’s Fang.
