Crucible Knight duo in Auriza Hero Grave tips
Without ashes, get distance between you and the two so that only spear guy runs and the other one walks normally, get ready to dodge sprinting attack of spearman parry the next hit, then riposte and repeat until he is in second phase. Here it gets easier.. bait attacks from spear guy until he flies up in the air. Run away as far as you can and dodge the hit, here you get atleast two free hits with a fast weapon or one with a slow. Repeat until he is dead. Then you only got sword and board guy left and he is business as usual. Just ran into them and was shocked and thought it was impossible. After four tries, I tried my strategy and it worked the first time.

Edit: The first part (getting the spear guy to half health) can be tricky, feel free to use a tanky spirit ash here to burst him down. Aurelia (Jellyfish) works wonders here.

Ugg I keep hearing about two of these MF'ers but have not found where they are at. just one of them drove me insane. I am seeing the these as late late, right before I do final mission, type of bosses.

great tip. These kinds of posts should be the ones getting attention, not the brainfead complaint posts

@OP

Why would you not use any summon, that was purposefully put into game to help solo players, to fight very tough enemy duo is beyond my understanding.

Another issue with your advice is reliance on parry. Some people can parry, some can not. Trying to do this on a boss fight where repercussion of failing to parry can be lost of 1/4 or even 1/3 of your health are significant.

I cleared this fight after yesterday's patch when Mimic was nerfed but it still worked perfectly well to distract one knight while I dealt with the other one. I had 3 tries without summon just to see how these guys do but it was not really working. I could not separate them enough from each other to have any serious opening for attacks. Stamina was my main issue since due to heavy dodging and blocking I had very little left for attacks and I often got guard broken due running out of stamina on block. Using Mimic made the fight manageable and fun again.

some people find fun in overcoming challenges. No need to understand, just know they're there

Just summon co-op, stop wasting your time.

Or just use Ashes and Summons?
ER is not balanced for soloing bosses, i mean you can, but it's waste of time since game doesn't care about the player.

No I did use them, just some people get very frustrated with this fight and they do not want to use the ashes. It would be sad for people rage quitting here.

Use ash and your most powerfull range move on the sword one. He got less HP.

After he is out its a fair fight.

Parry is pretty gud against the sword guy. Not so much for the spear dude but thats me being ♥♥♥♥ with it. I also did it yesterday and I just hate them. I can't really get used to some of the moves. Especially the shield charge. Mimic being my go to punching bag helped me getting time to run one down. Was a close and hard fight.

Godskin duo is a joke compared to that. Even tho I gotta say.. I got the fingerprint stone shield shortly after that fight.. tried one ck again somewhere else. Oh boy. That shield is nuts.

I am somewhat close to the godskin duo, I saw a strat LobosJr used with sleep. If I am really desperate I will use this I guess.
