NG and Beyond Vyke, Knight of the Roundtable Boss Guide Roundtable Knight Vyke Boss Video Guide. Roundtable Knight Vyke Fight Strategy The Best Tips for Vyke: His Dragonbolt buff also lowers his Lightning Defense by around 35 , so use any weapons that deal Lightning Damage. For faith, Lightning Spear, Lightning Fortification, and Flame of Frenzy. Inescapable Frenzy, while extremely risky to use, can deal a lot of damage if it lands. For intelligence, Stars of Ruin or Star Shower, Night Comet, Gavel of Haima, Adula's Moonblade. Suggested items: Boltdrake Talisman and Lightningproof Dried Liver for lightning resistance, Boiled Crab and Pickled Turtle Neck for defense and stamina recovery. Melee Users One main thing to note when facing Vyke is that while he mainly uses lightning, he also weak to it. You can come prepared with a few options: Boltdrake Talisman will have the ability to boost Lightning Damage negation while the Lightning Scorpion Charm raises Lightning Damage, but lowers damage negation. With neither of those items on hand, there is a consumable that would also temporarily boost lightning negation. Lightningproof Dried Liver can easily be Crafted or found from a few locations in LeyndellRegion Royal Capital and Altus PlateauGrace. Users also recommend a Faith Lightning Spear since his buff makes him vulnerable to lightning and he can be easily staggered due to his low poise. When facing Vyke, watch for his Storm Assault and Fortissax's Lightning Spear. He can inflict additional lightning damage with his melee attacks when he buffed himself with the Lightning buff. There will be a short period as he buffs himself that would give players an opening to strike. Be aware of these openings and quickly back away as the action ends because he will immediately follow up with a few of his lightning attacks. This will give you space to avoid them. After using his spells, he may sometimes run towards you to close the distance which will give you an opportunity to reposition or even charge at him. Most of his melee actions are quick with a short range so you can easily roll back away from them and follow up with an attack as well. If you happen to have a shield and are too close to avoid his charge attack, you can instead, guard counter this action. Continue with a combination of avoiding his lightning strikes, rolling back away from his melee attacks then charging forward in between attacks to eventually clear his HP. Magic and Ranged Users When you prepare to face him, be aware that his main attacks and weaknesses are both to lightning. You may equip the relevant talismans to boost lightning negation or damage such as the Boltdrake Talisman which will have the ability to boost Lightning Damage negation or the Lightning Scorpion Charm which raises Lightning Damage but lowers damage negation. Lightningproof Dried Liver will also be able to boost lightning negation. With magic, you can use the large arena to your advantage. In the EvergaolEvergaol, circle around him and continuously use your ranged attacks such as Rock Sling since he staggers easily. Night Comet is also said to be effective against him and his quick dodges. It can also be used to interrupt his heals. Avoid attempting to afflict any Status Effects on him since he is immune. He will begin with a set of melee attacks until you see his charge-up animation which opens him up to use his lightning attacks. Create some distance and he will be forced to give chase in order to deal his melee charge attacks. During this time, you can attempt to deal more attacks from a distance while continuously repositioning yourself to deplete his HP. Roundtable Knight Vyke Attacks & Counters Attack Description Counter Storm Assault Vyke channels a gust of wind around him, leaping into the air and plunging his spear into the ground, dealing massive damage, if not outright killing players instantly. This is easily his most dangerous move, as he often tends to use it while being attacked at close-range. Vyke gains immense hyper-armor while using this skill, so it's best not to engage it directly. Heavier weapons can knock him out of this attack. Lightning Strike At a distance, Vyke fires off a bolt into the air, causing lightning to strike in a wide area directly in front of him. He can repeatedly cast this spell several times. If you see yellow sparks on the ground, dodge or run to the sides immediately. As he tends to repeatedly use this spell, you can also run in to interrupt it. Vyke's Dragonbolt Vyke calls down a bolt of red lightning, coating both his body and weapon. This grants him a 15 increased Equip Load and buffs his weapon to inflict additional Lightning Damage, at the cost of reducing his Lightning Damage negation by 35 . While this buff may seem dangerous at first, as it buffs his already dangerous melee attacks, his lightning damage negation is lowered as well. Capitalize on the opportunity with lightning spells and throwing pots. Fortissax's Lightning Spear Vyke leaps into the air and creates two bolts of red lightning, before stabbing them into the ground, creating trails of red lightning. Back away as far as you can. Use ranged attacks or spells, or wait until the spell finishes, then do a Jumping Attack.
