Tanith's Knight

Tanith's Knight is an Invader enemy in Elden Ring. Unlike most invaders, it is not an NPC, but is instead a Crucible Knight. Normally standing watch over Tanith, it will invade to inflict vengeance if you kill her in Volcano ManorGrace while she is devouring Rykard.

• By Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy Site of Grace in Volcano ManorGrace: Progress Tanith's quest to the point where she's feasting on Rykard's corpse, then kill her. Tanith's Knight will invade shortly thereafter.

Trigger this fight by attacking Tanith while she is busy devouring Rykard's head. This is triggered by exhausting her dialogue after the Shardbearer fight. If you want to change your build up specifically for this fight, look for items that can inflict Sleep, Scarlet Rot, Poison or Frostbite. Tanith's Knight may begin to advance as soon as the invasion begins. You can immediately interrupt this approach with an attack of your own. Tanith's Knight will have the same combat interactions as the Crucible Knight so like the Crucible knight, you can expect a number of slower, heavy attacks. A successful hit from these knights will deal a lot of damage however, because of their slower speeds they are easy to avoid or dodge. This also allows you to deal multiple attacks in between his offensive counters. The Knight lacks the Tail attacks but instead utilizes the Breath incantation, dealing Fire damage at mid-to-close range. Make sure to put some distance between you and the opponent if you wish to heal.

Tanith's Knight Other Notes

• The Crucible was considered taboo under the Golden Order, so it is presumed that the Knight joined the Volcano ManorGrace because of this.
