Path to Valiant Gargoyle
The Path to Valiant Gargoyle in the Elder Ring is a quest that players must complete to gain access to Nokron, the Eternal City. This quest can be difficult but can be done fairly easily. Once you’ve completed it, you can then use Runes to defeat the boss. You can also summon spirits to help you. Alternatively, you can use the Statue of Marika to summon powerful spirits.
The Valiant Gargoyle is an extremely dangerous foe and a one-hit kill is a common outcome. The safest approach to attack this monster is with a melee weapon such as an axe. It will change weapons frequently so you should keep your distance and use spells to protect yourself from its attacks. However, if you do manage to land a hit, the Valiant Gargoyle’s next attack will be with his great axe, so be sure to stay away from it.
Twinblade Gargoyle attacks
The first quest you’ll encounter is to get to the Twinblade Gargoyle. This monster is found in the Dragon-Burnt Ruins, which can be accessed through the nearby river. Here, you will have to use your Torrent double jump ability to get over the short, broken walls. Once you’re there, you’ll see a chest containing the Twinblade.
The Twinblade Gargoyle has two phases. You’ll fight him with your twinblade first, and he’ll then switch between the twinblade and the greataxe. The twinblade phase is more difficult to read, but you can survive it by rolling away during his attacks. The next phase is much easier to play through, as the Twinblade Gargoyle uses a similar moveset to the Sword Gargoyle Halberd. If you’re fighting him with your axe, make sure to avoid this phase, as you can kill the gargoyle with full health.
Incantation Flame
You can defeat the Valiant Gargoyle boss by performing the Incantation Flame in Elder Ring. This enchantment will grant you a special ability that will help you in the fight against the boss. This enchantment works in two locations: in the cliffside cliff of West Capital, and at the large waterfall on the crest of Great Waterfall.
Using the Twinblade on the Valiant Gargoyle will cause it to spin around and leap forward. Its attack will create a small earthquake and fire a wind trail. If you are unable to get a hit, the best option is to retry. It may jump somewhere on the right side. Regardless of your choice, be sure to avoid the poisoning of the Gargoyle as much as possible.
Cleanse Me
In the second chapter of the Elder Scrolls series, the first Valiant Gargoyle fight is located in the Siofra Aqueduct, a zone that can be reached by completing the quest Starscourage Radahan. Valiant Gargoyle can be a difficult boss to beat, as it’s immune to most status effects. However, there are some things that you can do to maximize the damage you do to the first Gargoyle.
After completing the first part of the Elden Ring Offline Blind, visit the Carian Study Hall. You’ll find an altar there, where you can equip your Oath of Eldritch – the Eye of Yelough. From here, you’ll need the Deathbed Dress and the Omensmirk Mask. Once you’ve got them, head up to the Carian Study Hall to find the next item you need.
Spirit Ashes
There are a few ways to get a valiant Gargoyle in the Elden Ring, including summoning an assassin named Tiche. The first of these is to gather 132 PCs. The assassin deals heavy damage to its opponents, and can be killed by real wounds. However, due to its invisibility, he is also very survivable.
One of the most common ways to kill a gargoyle is to stand near a waterfall. They sometimes can jump over the edge, so you may want to use your weapon of choice to kill them. This can be difficult, and you should only attempt this if you haven’t beaten the gargoyle in its normal form yet. You can also rely on Fia, the Deathbed Companion to help you.
