Defeating a Valiant Gargoyle
This fight is a lot easier than it might seem. If you’re playing a close range class, you can use a Twinblade to cut through it. The Valiant Gargoyle will use both weapons in the same fight, and it will switch to one of the other weapons after switching between them. The best way to counter this is to use your Summon Spirits to draw his attention and get in some quick hits.
The Valiant Gargoyle is a very difficult boss to face in the Elden Ring. They are a duo that guards the entrance to the Deeproot Depths, and they can be difficult to fight alone. The battle will start with a Valiant Gargoyle, and then it will move onto the Valiant Gargoyle with a Twinblade. Once you’ve gotten the hang of this, you’ll be able to take out the rest of the enemies.
Defeating a Sword Gargoyle
A Gargoyle’s strength depends on its weapon. For instance, a halberd is very effective for killing a Gargoyle. Swords and axes are also effective weapons for Gargoyles, though they have a more fleshed-out attack set and different weapon types. Be sure to dodge the Gargoyle’s initial rush by running away or rolling to the side.
A Sword Gargoyle can be easily defeated by using the proper techniques. First, it slams his sword into the ground, creating a shockwave cone. Second, he charges and hits the ground with his sword. Third, he spins his weapon in midair before striking. A good strategy is to use a sword in this way to prevent him from swinging his weapon at you.
Avoiding a slam attack
The best way to avoid a slam attack when cheese-ing Gargoyles is to avoid their charge and then switch to your other weapon. While you are spinning, the Gargoyle will swing its weapon and slash you. If you dodge the initial charge, you can avoid its slam attack, but you must dodge the slam attack when you land.
While your health pool is small, the best way to avoid getting slammed is to dodge attacks. While it may seem difficult, you can roll away during their attacks. Aim to keep one gargoyle busy with Spirit Ashes. This can be a lifesaver in this fight, as it can distract one of them.
Getting a stagger on a Sword Gargoyle
One of the best ways to kill the Sword Gargoyle is to use Massive weapons that have spells or staggers. These weapons can deal massive damage and draw aggro from Gargoyles. If you want to avoid their attacks, the best option is to use Mimic Tear Ashes. It’s worth the investment as it can replicate the damage output of any build.
Another important aspect of Staggering enemies is to be aggressive. This is particularly useful when the enemy is shielded or has a high defense. This ability is more effective against small bosses, but it’s not guaranteed. You will need to memorize the boss’ attack pattern in order to get it right. Jump heavy attacks are a good bet, but it can take a few parries to fully stagger an enemy.
Avoiding a slam attack on a Sword Gargoyle
A Sword Gargoyle possesses tremendous reach, so it’s vital to avoid its attacks when possible. Most of these attacks are telegraphed, but a good way to counter them is to roll into them and hit them repeatedly. Double-handed weapons are also useful in countering Gargoyle melee attacks, as they maximize damage.
The main strategy for avoiding a slam attack on swarming Sword Gargoyles is to use a large ranged attack. Then, use an item that increases the target’s DPS. Alternatively, you can use a potent ranged attack. This will also distract a Sword Gargoyle, allowing you to land a critical hit.
