for the first duelist link, it links to a page for the wrong type of duelist

Submit

I love these guys, they're not particularly challenging or anything. They're just badass and have cool cinematic attacks

Submit

very weak

Submit

I can't hurt him on my playthrough. All my attacks go through him and do no damage. It's bugged.

Submit

Not gonna lie, I defeated this boss in 4-5 hits and I didn't get hit. In fact, he didn't even make move. I defeated him with Blood hound's fang using the ash of war combo.

Submit

Really wish that we could have a spirit ash version of these guys. Summoning them in only to see them toss aside their cloak and **** **** up would be so badass.

Submit

Has this happened with someone else? Sometimes after I hit this guy in Leyndell with a fully charged Black Flame Tornado, he gets launched to the air, and for a few seconds, his greataxe deals scarlet rot.

Submit

Grave Wardens have now existed in three souls games with wildly different styles. In 2, they were big mummy-looking guys with shields and spears. In 3, they were emaciated women with ratty clothes and dinged up curved swords. In Elden Ring, they're... Well, this guy.

Submit

Verac meets Elden Ring

Submit

Is nobody gonna talk about how they called the Kaiden Sellsword Ashes the Northern Mercenary Ashes?

Submit

Duelist Greataxe drops from the Leyndell variant

Submit

This boss can also be parried

Submit

no spirit ash summons are allowed for the murkwater catacombs boss, its not a particularly hard boss anyway though.

Submit

can i get his armor set? its dope as ****

Submit

The Banished Knight Engvall dropped for me after beating him, not the Hammer.

Submit

These guys are really fun to parry. Their attacks have decently long wind-ups and have obvious tells.

Submit

The one in Auriza Side Tomb gives 15000 runes and the Soldjar of Ashes. He has some jar enemies with him but i was powerstancing 2 colossal weapons so i killed him quickly and i didn't get to see their moves they just stayed back and watched.

Submit

i have feelings for him

Submit

Finally found him at level 149. What... an... easy... boss. Thought that area was cleared :

Submit

Bruh this is Verac in barrows wtf

Submit

I got lucky since I gained both the Battle Hammer AND the Engvall ashes when I killed the one located in Murkwater.

Submit

i just wanna comment that as of now he dropped spirit ashes banished knight engvall

Submit

Battle Hammer does drop off the one wielding it in Lleyndell by the Arena near West Capital Rampart.

Submit

Well there goes the hammer. And how do you get the summon ash if you already defeated him before patch v1.03?

Submit

Can you get his helmet?

Submit

I did not get the hammer, I got Banished night engbvall

Submit

After the update it seems he does not drop the hammer anymore. kinda sucks

Submit

For some reason after the patch he no longer drops the battle hammer he now drops "banished knight Engvall" which is a really crap summon with a cost of 100fp! They need to change it back the the hammer (I never used the hammer but it was a great early strength weapon... more sad times for strength builds)

Submit

Well, now you get high level, 100 fp ashes from him in murkwater catacombs

Submit

He dropped 15000 runes in Auriza side tomb

Submit

he drops the Banished Knight Engvall Ashes

Submit

So, uh, as of the new patch this guy no longer drops the Battle Hammer. He now drops the 'Banished Knight Engvall' Spirit Ashes. 100 FP cost, he looks like a Halberd variant of the Banished Knight, and shares lore with Banished Knight Oleg.

Submit

Demi-human ashes and a chill weapon makes short work of this guy. Ignore the pots.

Submit

looks like something you would see out of a 'soulslike' mobile game

Submit

If anyone is struggling, his attacks will almost all bounce against a greatshield, giving you a free guard counter. ~2-3 guard counters will stagger him for a riposte. Use a spirit summon to distract the jars if you can, or just kill them first.

Submit

DS2 vibes

Submit

Wish we could get his armor set. That helm looks dope!

Submit

You can launch this guy into the air with the stomp weapon art. I was quite surprised when my Lordsworn greatsword sent him flying!

Submit

This was my first dungeon and this guy looked pretty tough at first but my Weapon Art seemed to break his poise really easily
Every 2 weapon arts gave me a riposte
Was pretty easy but made me understand a bit more of the combat changes in Elden Ring, can't wait to play more!

Submit

For those struggling against him, try backstabbing him to death, wait until he’s finished with his combos though.

Submit

His moves are easy to pick up after a bit, so I would practice the parry outside the boss fight, once you figure out the parry, you can beat him with ~3-4 parries and the punishing blow

Submit

Can you get his armor somewhere?

Submit

The simplest way to deal with him is to keep moving away from him and rolling out of his mid-range (longest) attacks now and then and whenever he does the plow attack (hits the ground ahead of him with his hammer and pull his hammer toward himself), you can jump-attack him, then roll away and then keep moving away until a new opening appears.

It's also possible to do this when he does his side-step-hit (after he's hit) or when he jump-attack and, if you use any medium or heavy weapon (can't tell for light weapons), he will stag every time you jump-attack him during those 3 attacks.

When he's using his special rage ability, don't attack him in the middle of his combos as he become immune to staggering when attacking (except for his jump attack which can all be hit & staggered.)

Submit

Jump then R2 attack then dodge away. Rinse and repeat. When he does his swinging attacks dodge away a few times. Very easy boss without summons.

Submit

Seems like a cool guy but I'm going to need that hammer

Submit

Seems to be weak to magic damage and strong against physical

Submit

Seems to be weak to magic damage and strong against physical

Submit

Also noticed that he used two hammer- flails with me (lvl 33) and a poleaxe for everyone else I helped. Not sure if it's a level based thing or not.

Submit

I wish he dropped chain hammers

Submit

Biggest threat is the timings. Watch for the delays, especially on his jump attacks, as they’ll also hit like a truck.

Submit

Can you parry him? I tried with no luck, ended up backstabbing him to death.

Submit

Very easy with Lordsworn Greatsword's uppercut.
Uppercut sends him flying, load heavy attack, heavy attack while he's getting up, heavy breaks his posture, stab him in the chest.
Rinse, repeat. Each combo should deal about 1/5 of his health depending on your stats.

Submit

"Are you not entertained?"

Submit

This guy is SUPER weak to backstabs. You can do it easily. Also, it seems he sometimes has two hammers, and sometimes has one long pole axe. Not sure when/how to tell when he will spawn with what
