Aim for Level 33 or Higher
It’s recommended to be at least Level 33 or above before challenging the Knight Aberrant. The boss relies entirely on physical attacks and can easily defeat you with a single critical hit if you’re under-leveled.
With the boss having around 2700 HP, the battle can drag on if your attack power is low, so level up beforehand for a smoother fight.
EXP Farm: How to Level Up Fast
Equip a Rousing Ring to Be Immune to Snooze
The Knight Aberrant frequently casts Snooze, which puts you to sleep and leaves you completely vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
Wearing a Rousing Ring makes you immune to Sleep, letting you maintain control throughout the fight.
Equip Spiked Armour to Reflect Physical Damage
Knight Aberrant's attack are mostly comprised of physical skills and can be devastating to deal with. It is best to equip the Spiked Armour to deflect a percentage of that damage back to him
Raise Your Defence With Faerie Foil
Faerie Foil is a weapon that bolsters your Defence when used as an item. Since this is a weapon, you can use it as many times as you like.
Raising your defence is a great way of countering Knight Aberrant's high attack damage.
What Does the Defence Stat Do?
Use the Demon Demeaner Ability
Knight Aberrant, being a demon, is particularly weak to the Demon Demeaner ability. Once you're down to around 50% of your HP, you can now use the Soul Sigil's effect on it to soup it up and transform it to Quadraslash, which deals even more damage.
All Souped-Up Skills and How to Activate Them
Find the Demon Demeaner Scroll in Damdara Before Battle
You can find the Demon Demeaner scroll inside a barrel in a house in Damdara, it's the only house available to enter so be sure to head here before starting the battle, so you can learn the spell first.
