This is a quick guide on how to beat Necromancer Garris. The game developers of FromSoftware added a few optional bosses as an added challenge for the player base to take on and amplify the latest Soulslike experience.
Necromancer Garris is an optional boss that doesn’t pose much of a challenge for players with a decent melee build. However, the Soulslike genre has a reputation for giving the gaming community a run for their money with their insane strength and this guide will help you defeat this enemy without much effort.
Necromancer Garris can be found at Sage’s Cave hidden behind an illusion at the western side of Altus Plateau and a little to the north of the Abandoned Coffins. Elden Ring players have gotten used to fighting different enemies, and some bosses require finesse to reach.
The game developers wanted to allow players to travel wherever they wanted without being held back. The Lands Between is rich in content and full of optional enemy bosses hidden in dungeons that require killing to give players their hard-earned loot and rewards.
Elden Ring players can equip any melee weapon to disrupt the Necromancer from casting any spells. Fighting this boss aggressively and getting close is key to defeating this enemy. It is worth noting that players should be mindful of the melee attacks of the Necromancer since it can pack a punch.
Tip
As soon as the Tarnished steps into the arena, immediately summon a Spirit Ash to distract Necromancer Garris.
Fortunately, each animation Necromancer Garris has whenever casting a spell can be easily disrupted with a few swings. Fighting this enemy from a distance can be quite challenging; however, it is susceptible to fire damage too. Players can summon a trusty ally to take the lead and players can sneak up behind the back and perform deadly backstabs.
