[votka]

The knight boy is literal pain since his HORSE counterattacks ranged attacks so well. This was the second and only other time I used an Ironjar Aromatic to make myself ultra tanky and basically invincible while I spammed attacks on him from point blank. He's a wall of steel and bears deadly lightning so just equip your lightning and physical resistance talismans, buff up, then go to town depleting his HP as fast as you can.

I found it easier to just run towards him and hug his back with my sword. At certain rotations, I apply some damage, just incase he digs his sword into the ground for an AoE. Though I if I need to heal, I just do the same thing and heal right beside him.

As for the Draconic Tree Sentinel. He's kinda easy because I thought the Night Calvary so many times and their weapon move sets are similar. If you have trouble with dodging the lightning, just pay attention to how much it charges...or just tank it and beat him to death.

First tip is to kill the draconic tree sentinel first. He's not that bad once you learn his patterns, he does have a few fast moves but most are slow and very telegraphed. Try to stay close to him to avoid fireballs, watch out for his lightning strikes as they can be hard to avoid. He raises his shield I believe when he is doing a lightning attack.

As for Maliketh himself, not really any tips I can give, he has very few openings, try to avoid his crazy attacks and play it safe. Run away from his AOE.

Maliketh's second phase is a pain to learn, you mainly need to start recognizing his two AOEs and avoid them as soon as you do, the ground explosion and the sword slashes.
The ground explosion is usually done after he jumps and hangs in the air for a second, dodge the slam then dodge the explosions, he can also do this after using projectiles. The sword slashes is always when he swings his sword all around him in a circle before planting it.
His normal attacks have very specific hitboxes, when you learn what they are, you can stand right next to him while he attacks to damage him, but watch for his spinning jump attack, don't just sit on top of him the whole time.
Don't panic roll the projectiles, you usually have time to see all 3 coming, and you'll need room to roll if he goes into the ground explosions, and sometimes he follows up into a crazy fast dive.
Parrying is up to you, it's very similar to normal parrying times, only much riskier. The Bloody Slash skill is very useful for phase 2, especially if you have shard of alexander,

He drops the draconic tree sentinel armor set iirc. It looks butt ugly, not worth it.

You can abuse fighting him if you beat Maliketh from the boss room. He won't enter the doorway
