Elden Ring

Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between, a fictional realm over which several demigods rule. It was previously ruled over by the immortal Queen Marika, who acted as keeper of the Elden Ring, a powerful force that manifested itself as the physical concept of order. When Marika shattered the Elden Ring and disappeared, her demigod children began fighting over pieces of the Ring in an event called The Shattering. Each demigod has a shard of the Ring called a Great Rune, which corrupts them with power. In the game, the player character is a Tarnished, one of a group of exiles from the Lands Between who are summoned back after the Shattering. The player must traverse the realm to repair the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord.

The Grave Warden Duelist Elden Ring : How to Beat the Murkwater Catacombs Boss

Hidden in a corner of the Elden Ring world map, these catacombs contain fantastic Ashes of War, those of the Mercenary of the North, among others. Here's a map to find them, as well as a written and video guide to killing the boss.

Going around the mini-dungeons of Elden Ring to loot them and face their bosses is certainly one of the great charms of the game. This is the case with the Blackwater Catacombs, they are quite easy to find, you just have to follow the river north of Lake Agheel. A red wraith invasion awaits you along the way. It is theoretically possible to descend to the bottom of the canyon directly, using the giant tombstones, but this is a slightly more dangerous and less profitable exercise.

Preparations

These catacombs are very short, but the small stone gargoyles are also much more aggressive. Watch out for pressure plates on the ground that trigger traps, you can use them to easily defeat said gargoyles by deliberately stepping on them before pressing down the sides of the hallway.
Once the area has been explored, it is better to rest at the grace point, then rush to the boss without a fight, in order to preserve the healing vials.
If you have enough CP, be aware that summoning the Mercenary of the North will make the fight that follows completely trivial, in terms of difficulty.

How to fight

If you don't abuse summons, this fight is not easy. This boss pretends to be Kratos with his weapons linked to chains. He can greatly alter the distance his attacks will travel.
We will remember his whirling attack which affects a large area around him, the projection of his weapons forward, and his great combat jump which releases a powerful shock wave.
He will also enrage, which will envelop him in a characteristic red aura. It just increases his damage.
A good way to deal damage to this boss is to perform a big attack that will flinch it, then back off with a dodge. You can also circle around him with dodges, or by blocking. When he finishes his chain attack, the Tomb Guardian is exposed for a moment.
All in all, it's a pretty basic fight, but it's good practice against an enemy that hits fast and hard, but not too much.

Awards

The boss drops Ashes of War: Stormblade, which unleashes a powerful wind attack several meters in front of you, which also has the advantage of tripping the enemy. The Warrior already starts with these ashes at the start. It is more important to search the rooms well before the boss, it would be a shame to miss the Northern Mercenary's Ashes.
