Tips
  • The Fabled Automaton Knight's main attack is 'Dash and Slash,' telegraphed by a glowing red gem on its sword. Dodge this attack to avoid significant damage and a brief burn.
  • If you need to create distance, get out of the boss's line of sight. This will cause it to walk towards you instead of dashing.
  • The red crystal on the boss's sword hilt is a weak spot; hitting it deals bonus damage.
  • Blunt weapon types, such as two-handed hammers or the one-handed repair hammer, are most effective against the Fabled Automaton Knight due to its plate armor.
  • Piercing damage (e.g., skinning knives) and chopping damage (e.g., axes) deal reduced damage. Switch to a neutral or effective weapon type.
  • If you have a companion, be prepared to revive them. A revived companion can act as a tank, allowing you free hits on the boss.
