Defeat the Looking Glass Knight in Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin by circle-strafing and dodging its lightning attacks. Learn strategies and item locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As you enter King's Passage, advance slowly down the first hallway, defeating each statue individually.
  2. 2
    Collect the Lifegem on your left.
  3. 3
    Collect the Twinkling Titanite and the Soul of a Proud Knight on your right.
  4. 4
    Defeat the guard at the end of the hallway.
  5. 5
    Proceed through the mist to face the Looking Glass Knight.
  6. 6
    Begin the battle by circle-strafing around the Looking Glass Knight. Its attacks are typically two or three hits, with a potential pause before the third. Wait for the attack pattern to fully conclude before launching counter-attacks.
  7. 7
    When the Looking Glass Knight raises its sword to charge it with lightning, immediately back away due to its wide area of effect. There is enough time to re-engage after the lightning dissipates.
  8. 8
    Once the Knight's health reaches half, watch for a lightning projectile fired from its sword during the usual lightning attack. Position yourself to the side or rear to avoid it.
  9. 9
    When the Knight places its shield on the floor, it signals the arrival of a trash enemy. Quickly defeat this enemy while continuing to dodge the Looking Glass Knight's attacks. Prevent more than one minion from being present at any time.
  10. 10
    After defeating the boss, loot the Spell Quartz Ring +2, a Soul Bolt, and three Bonfire Ascetics from the coffer on the other side of the area.
  11. 11
    Step onto the central round platform to descend to the next level.
  12. 12
    Continue along the grassy tunnel until you reach a small clearing.
  13. 13
    Slice the foliage on your right to obtain a Green Blossom.
  14. 14
    Proceed through the next tunnel to find a bonfire. Light it.
  15. 15
    Walk forward into the Shrine of Amana.
Tips
  • Be patient and do not rush your counter-attacks.
  • Maintain distance when the Looking Glass Knight charges its sword with lightning.
  • Prioritize eliminating summoned enemies quickly to avoid being overwhelmed.
