Where to Find the Putrescent Knight in the Elden Ring DLC and How to Defeat Him

The highly anticipated DLC for Elden Ring, "Shadow of the Erdtree," is finally available, marking a new chapter in players' adventures. This additional content immerses you in the Realm of Shadows, where you will follow in the footsteps of Miquella and discover the mysterious new character, Messmer, among many other surprises.

This DLC introduces a plethora of new weapons, spells, talismans, and, most importantly, formidable new bosses. In addition to these additions, players will encounter new Tarnished characters, each with their own quests. Today, we reveal how to defeat the Putrescent Knight, the major obstacle on your path to St. Trina.

Location of the Putrescent Knight

The Putrescent Knight is a formidable adversary who blocks your progress in the quest with Thiollier. You will find him in the Fissure; the boss is located lower down in an area accessible by jumping into the void from the head of the "bull." Don't worry, you won't take fall damage when reaching the boss area.

How to Defeat the Putrescent Knight

Once there, you will face this undead knight. The most effective way to defeat him is to use a faith-based build and sacred attacks. Here are some tips for the fight:

• Use Holy Spells: Utilize Holy spells to deal extra damage.

• Stay Close to Him: Avoid his melee attacks by staying as close to him as possible. As he is mounted, he tries to chase his target. If you are in close combat, he won't be able to hit you.

• Capitalize on Vulnerability: Take advantage of moments when he is vulnerable after an attack to deal heavy damage.

• You will find Saint Trina a little further in the arena, offering a nice reward after defeating this tough boss.
