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
- 1As you enter King's Passage, advance slowly down the first hallway, defeating each statue individually.
- 2Collect the Lifegem on your left.
- 3Collect the Twinkling Titanite and the Soul of a Proud Knight on your right.
- 4Defeat the guard at the end of the hallway.
- 5Proceed through the mist to face the Looking Glass Knight.
- 6Begin 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.
- 7When 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.
- 8Once 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.
- 9When 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.
- 10After 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.
- 11Step onto the central round platform to descend to the next level.
- 12Continue along the grassy tunnel until you reach a small clearing.
- 13Slice the foliage on your right to obtain a Green Blossom.
- 14Proceed through the next tunnel to find a bonfire. Light it.
- 15Walk forward into the Shrine of Amana.
