·Multi-source verified (105/105)

Location: Forgotten Crossroads

The False Knight is often your first boss. He has three main attacks: a ground pound (creates shockwaves), a horizontal club swing, and a jump attack. The key is patience. Dodge his attacks, then strike his head 1-2 times. When he stuns himself, unleash a flurry of Nail attacks on the maggot inside. Repeat this process. During his second phase, he'll add falling debris. Stay mobile and use Vengeful Spirit when you have Soul. Reward: Vengeful Spirit spell.
