Fabled Automaton Knight and Bishop Boss: Guide Nightingale

Learn how to defeat the Fabled Automaton Knight and Fabled Automaton Bishop bosses in Nightingale. This guide covers strategies, weaknesses, and tips for these challenging encounters.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Fabled Automaton Knight: Vulnerable core.
• Fabled Automaton Bishop: Vulnerable core (damages boss and summons). Immune to damage when glowing blue (shield active).

Phases:

1. Fabled Automaton Knight:
   1. The boss spams a magic arc attack from its core. Dodge to the side or circle the boss to avoid.
   2. Attack the boss's core between its attacks. Ranged weapons like the Slingbow are effective, or use melee weapons like daggers after dodging its attacks. Use pillars for cover if needed.
2. Fabled Automaton Bishop:
   1. The Bishop summons three lesser automatons. Prioritize defeating these quickly.
   2. While dealing with summons, the Bishop bombards you with ranged attacks. Stay behind pillars for cover, but keep moving between them.
   3. Aim for the Bishop's glowing core to inflict damage to both the boss and its lesser automatons.
   4. The Bishop can activate a shield, indicated by a blue glow. Attack when the shield disappears. Aim for the core with ranged weapons or get close for melee attacks.

Strategy:

• General Preparation: Consume food for increased health and stamina. Use damage-buffing potions like strength potions. Ensure you have a good stock of Healing Salves (replenish health over time, remove injuries) and Healing Potions (quick health recovery). Bind healing items to an easily accessible hotkey (default 'Q').
• Gear: Ensure your armor and weapons are suitably upgraded. The game will prompt you to do this.
• Locations: Fabled Automaton Knights are often found at Sites of Power, ancient Fae structures where you find realm cards and loot. Interact with a mechanism in the center to activate the boss fight.
• Knight Specific: Keep moving to avoid its magic arc. Use the environment (pillars) for cover and stamina recovery.
• Bishop Specific: Focus on the lesser automatons first. Use pillars for cover from the Bishop's ranged attacks. Exploit the Bishop's core when vulnerable. Attack aggressively when its blue shield is down.
