Parry or Evade Basic Attacks
Fighting the Knight of the Dying Sun will consist of evading his combos and parrying his basic sword attacks. Once you familiarize yourself with his attack patterns, you'll realize that he has the similar moves and abilities as the Knight of the Blinding Dawn.
If you've forgotten the latter's boss mechanics, you can stay back and use ranged attacks first until you get a grasp of the boss's movements.
Precision Dodge at the End of His Combo
The Knight will usually strike you with a sequence of melee attacks with short intervals in-between. Wait for the last combo to commence then time it with a precision dodge to counterattack him afterwards.
Avoid the Knight's Jump Abilities
When the Knight leaps in the air, stay away from the blue markers on the floor as this is where he'll land. As the battle ensues, he'll begin jumping twice known as the Double Jump ability. You can use L Stick to evade the first jump followed by the Dodge Button (R1) on the second jump.
Use Your Eikon Abilities When He Lands
Once the Knight lands on the ground, he'll be taking time to recover from the fall, this is a perfect time to use your Eikon abilities such as the Gouge and Rising Flames.
Best Abilities to Learn and Master
Run Around During Mirage Dive
Mirage Dive is an upgraded version of the Jump ability wherein the Knight will drop down on different locations all over the arena within a short amount of time.
Move around and again, avoid the numerous blue markers on the floor. Be careful when dodging as there's a slight chance for him to land on the spot of where you evaded.
