How to Beat Crucible Knight Ordovis

How to Find the Crucible Knight Duo

1
Reach Auriza Hero
Reach the Altus Plateau via the Grand Lift of Dectus or the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. Once there, head to Auriza Hero's Grave. You can start at the Outer Wall Battleground Site of Grace in the Capital Outskirts. From there, head east and pass under the bridge that leads to Leyndell, Royal Capital to reach the grave dungeon.
2
Progress Auriza Hero
At the Auriza Hero's Grave Site of Grace, enter the passage on the right.
3
Descend the Large Hall
Descend the large hall (a Chariot will spawn as you approach) until you reach a narrow crossing with pillars. Drop off the gaps on either side to the area below.
4
Go Down and Past the Basilisks
At the bottom, go up the stairs. Watch out for Basilisks that appear!
5
Go Through the Passage
At the top of the stairs, watch out for Basilisks in front and on the left side. Enter the passage on the right.
6
Reach the Next Set of Pillars
At the end of the passage, mind the passing Chariots. Descend the hall until you reach the next set of pillars. Watch out as another Chariot will spawn on the other side.
ⓘ At this point, if you have Margit's Shackle or Mohg's Shackle, you can use them to immediately destroy the Chariots.
7
Enter the Door
Open the door at the end of the hall and head inside. You can try bypassing the Chariot through the gap on the right, or you can drop into the beams in the pit on the left and explore until you raise a flame pillar with a Chariot light to destroy them.
