Redmane Castle Double Boss

[PaulGR]

Any tips for the cancer battle at Redmane Castle with the double boss since apparently difficulty now means adding two broken bosses in the same area?

I can usually down the Misbeggoten Warrior but I am already worn out for the Crucible Knight who leaves no openings for a Sword and Shield Vagabond.

Its meant to be very difficult since its meant to stop you from going there before radahn is there. Its why you get a legendary weapon for beating it.

Is it worth it?
If you go after Radahn (haven't found him yet, don't know him), can the bosses still be fought?

I did them afterwards, so yes. If you trigger the festival, they are gone for some time and appear after defeating radahn again.

Ash of War: Flame of the Redmanes and a misericorde will cheese pretty much all humanoid bosses, spam the weapon art until stance breaks after 2 hits, front-crit, rinse and repeat until dead. Killed the misbegotten warrior before the knight even finished spawning with that one.

What build you got? High stagger attacks work very well on Misbegotten. With a colossal sword like the Greatsword you can crouch + light attack him pretty much permanently and maybe sneak in two crits before backup arrives. Obviously quite cheap but its a perk of the build.

I got no special tips for the crucible knight though. Unless you are a parry king it is a game of patience, or lots of chip-damage with quick ranged attacks. They are very weird for heavy weapon users because you can never tell if they are actually going to finish their full combo.

Okay, when he tries to skydive you, keep a wall behind your back. The wall will catch him after he misses you so that you can go in for a free hit or two while he recovers. If you are in the open you can also produce a similar result by running as far the opposite way from him as you can before he swoops down to get you. He always slides to a stop at about the same distance regardless of how near or far you were from him.

wait until you get to fight 2 knights instead of a throwaway enemy and 1

Lol and I thought the double Eldtree Watchdogs were ridiculous.

Crystal darts will turn the watchdogs on each other.

I know, this is the only reason I beat it.

But... you don't even have to kill them...
Though they're also more considered elite enemies, not bosses.
But anyways, you can bait one out and defeat one after another seperately.

I mean they are right there, doesn't feel nice skipping them.
I can usually beat the first one by kiting but reach the second one with half potions. And the Knight leaves no openings for attacks and is never staggered like the Bigotten boss. I always get hit after landing an attack.

Skip them for now there is not point to those bosses in redmane since you can skip them

Heavy jump attacks and power attacks to stagger the misbegotten and crit him to hell, then parry the pants off the crucible knight. The sword wielding ones have a pretty even attack rhytm, so parrying on the second strike is a pretty easy strategy if you struggle to time it on the first one.

Misbegotten warrior is staggerable.

So for example in my first play through (using bloodhounds fang) I just spammed spammed him with lights. Pretty much means I only had to hit him twice (1 combo, next combo poise breaks him, hit him again after poise break).

Playthrough 2 I'm doing a more magic based build, so I used the glinstone pebble ash of war. You can just spam that on repeat till he poise breaks, crit him, then spam it again. It was actually slightly harder than bloodhounds fang, because its a bit harder to hit with than just hitting with a light, but still you actually hit it maybe twice because most of them just chain into each other.

The sword I had glinstone pebble on was +8 (regular smithing), and bloodhounds fang I think was probably +5. Both easily achievable before that fight, especially the equivalent of a +8 straight sword.

If you're using like a 1h sword or something, I think you can just spam jump attacks until you're out of stamina for the same effect.

If you're using like a rapier, I'd just switch weapons to make sure you kill the misbegotten warrior fast. You can run away from the crucible knight and switch back. I actually tried that on my first playthrough (I think crucible knights are noticeably easier with light weapons), and it worked, but it threw me off afterwards and my rapiers were lower level so I ended up just using my greatsword.

If you don't kill misbegotten before crucible arrives, the fight sucks because they're both aggressive, which means you're either playing mind numbingly patient or hoping for good rng so the second one doesn't catch your roll or hit you while you're swinging at the other.

Kill the first one before the second one shows up. That's pretty much it. Choosing the right Ash Summons for the fight is important.

My advice: kill the Misbegotten before the Knight arrives. If you lack the damage output to get that done then take a break from that fight and come back with a few upgrades.
