Tips for Knight Slayer Tsorig?

[Demon of Razgriz]

I keep getting killed by him in the Smouldering Lake (not the summon, the one where he is actually in the game world as an NPC). I know I could easily just skip him, but I want to kill him, so, any tips?

Guard break him. He likes to twohand his dumb weapon and block with it.

Throw alluring skull in the lava he will run in after it and die. Make sure you throw it close enough to the bank where you can loot him.

You should try to damage him beyond his maximum health while not having him do the same to you.


Basically, dodge his attacks and hit him, hard. Using something which can flatten him with a good R2 attack helps greatly. Once you understand his timings, he's not difficult.

Rip "knight slayer" tsorig.

Don't trade with him.

He's a player model, so he has stamina (sort of), but he also has poise. Try to bait him into swinging a lot, then get a hit in once he stops and back off.

You can also try to hit him when he's blocking. Even as the AI, he can't drop his guard and swing fast enough for his poise to activate (this goes for Havel too), so you should always stagger with that first hit.

I was having trouble using the above 'cheese' method (basically, Torig smacked down the dark knight in short order and then wiped the floor with me), but found an even cheesier method: on your way to him, sprint past the basilisks (or whatever those curse fog-breathing lizards are called). Then kite him back through a group of them - he'll be killed by their curse breath really quickly, just keep an eye out for the soul meter ticking up when he dies. His stuff won't drop immediately though, you'll need to rest/reload the area before you can find and pick it up.

Just summon his phantom, and have him kill himself.

He runs right into fully charged ugs thrusts which allows chain knock downs.

Well, in this case it is fine. Nothing on this topic changed between then and now, so no need to make a new topic.
