StewartBros Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Think they're called the Death Knights - huge glowing green guys with mahoosive blades and shields. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, I'm at the circular sawblade arena just before the first fight against Charon, where you have to kill a bunch of Harplings and two Death Knights. The birds are easy, but for the life of me, I cannot kill even one of the Knights. I'm going into the fight with almost full health, but only enough magic to perform a single attack before the gauge is emptied. There are no health/magic chests in here to restock from, which doesn't help. Any tips for how to kill these guys? I try using Plume of Prometheus or some other heavy attack to break a shield, but the other guy comes up and batters me whilst I'm doing that. Their overhead swings can't be blocked, and I can't always roll far enough away to avoid their attacks, which inflict a lot of damage. If I had more magic, then this probably wouldn't be too big a deal, but I don't, and I don't really feel like starting over again just yet. Most of the videos I've watched of this section show the player with ample magic, so they're not too much help. I'm going nuts trying to do well enough to kill even one of these guys!

Deceptrox Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Focus on taking out lesser enemies, then block (parry) Death Knights and roll out of their AoE attack, they are not that hard unless you are playing on God mode. Practice and you will eventually succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartBros Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Finally managed to beat the SOBs with just a sliver of health remaining. I now have the Gauntlet of Zeus, so now it's payback time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStanley Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I went into one of the saw blade quadrants and just pounded away with (Square) until I saw them going to attack and then used Efreet to interrupt them (avoid damage) and break their shields. Rinse and repeat and you should be able to QTE kill them after 4 or 5 Efreets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofanlife Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 In case this will help someone someday, what worked for was kill all the birds with O, then break their shield with the square-square-triangle combo, after which if you start parrying their attacks just at the right time it buys you enough time to spam triangles or squares and if it starts launching the the next attack parry and repeat. Try this and eventually you will get used. It's rather quite simple even in God mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
