Grab yourself a Buckler and learn to parry them. Also, try rolling into them, not away from them.

Parry them. That's how I did it.

So how do I deal with his buddy smacking the living daylights out of me while I do the parry?

Ahhhhhh, you're on the gank fight. That fight is a pain solo because of how close they get to each other.

Best advice I can give you is to focus on the Spear knight first as he can't tank damage like the SnS Knight can.

When you say "buddy" are you talking about the Misbegotten? Or the duo encounter?

This is a good point. I just assumed it was the double crucible gank.

He appears multiple times across the game so I assumed it wasn't a boss, if it is...nuke the glass cannon and then focus on parry : )

Regardless of the encounter, crucible knights in general are very good for parry practice. Their tells are very generous and most of the attacks have that "delay, delay, delay, attack" timing that can be hard to successfully parry. You can actually jump over the ground slams they do and respond with a jump attack to sneak in damage.

Ahhhhhh. I can drop my sign to help if you'd like.

If you want to do it solo, your best bet is to blitz the Misbegotten and kill him as fast as possible before the Crucible Knight spawns.

its not easy, but you can time it so that you riposte one while the other attacks, do this in turns.
can also summon people or npc to help, if you want to solo melee without parry you gonna have to kite them around or kill the misbegotten fast enough.

The idea of that encounter is like a dps check. "Can you burn down this enemy before the next one spawns". If you're doing this fight super early for the weapon, might be better to level up a bit so that the Misbegotten dies faster. Tbh, this fight isn't the most well balanced and the movesets don't really mesh well.

Hit him until he dies

Don't forget to group up first. That's key to the strategy of hitting it until it dies.
