How to Beat Black Knight Edredd

Tips for Black Knight Edredd
Dodge Into His Crucible Wings Attack Parry His Triple Slash Attacks Backstab Him After His Jump Attack

Dodge Into His Crucible Wings Attack

Black Knight Edredd uses a unique Ash of War called Aspects of the Crucible: Wings. When he starts taking to the sky, wait for the spinning animation to come close before doding into it. The i-frames should ensure you take no damage.

Parry His Triple Slash Attacks

After he does his Crucible Wings attack, he usually starts doing a triple slash attack while making his way toward you. You can use this to your advantage since these swings are easy to parry. On a successful parry, you can hit Edredd with a critical strike for a ton of damage.

Note: If you are having a hard time parrying, consider getting the Buckler since its Buckler Parry is faster than a normal parry. This allows you to parry as Edredd's attack animation starts rather than having to wait on timing.

How to Parry and Perform Critical Strikes

Use Charged R2s to Deal Wakeup Damage After a Critical Strike

To deal additional damage, use charged R2s (heavy attacks) after hitting Edredd with a critical strike. You can keep the damage train going provided you have enough Stamina to chain parries, crits, and R2 wakeups.

Backstab Him After His Jump Attack

Another move you can easily exploit is Edredd's jump attack. Dodge into it so that you're in position when he lands, before walking behind him and initiating a backstab. Aside from parries, this is one of the easier moves to punish while fighting Edredd.
