Elden Ring: How to beat the Misbegotten Crusader

The Misbegotten Crusader is a world mini-bosses that can be found in the map's northern part. Despite being a late-game monster, if you know what you're doing, you can easily defeat it. In Elden Ring, here's how to defeat the Misbegotten Crusader.

Misbegotten Crusader location

The Consecrated Snowfield is home to the Misbegotten Crusader. Of course, getting to this place is simple, but you'll need to gather a few stuff first. The two halves of the Secret Haligtree Medallion must be taken.

These can be found after fighting Commander Niall in Castle Sol and in the Village of the Albinaurics after beating Albus. Head to the Cave of the Forlorn near the frozen waterfall once you've reached the snowfield. To enter this dungeon, you'll need two Stonesword Keys.

Misbegotten Crusader attacks

You'll only need to pay attention to a few of the boss's assaults. Unless they connect, none of the attacks constitute much of a threat. If you're wearing heavy armor, you'll be able to quickly lessen the damage or shrug it off with ease.

• Slash — With his sword, the boss will do normal sideways slashes. Because the boss wields a greatsword, these have a decent range. These attacks usually consist of a four- or five-attack sequence that culminates in a vertical slam.
• Establish Order — Before cutting with his weapon, the boss will strike the Golden Order position. When the blessing activates, it will generate an AOE, which will be followed by a golden arch shooting out of his weapon.
• Dash and Slash - The boss will leap forward and slash with his weapon in a fast dash. Usually, this is followed by a series of slashing assaults.
• Beast Yell – The boss will send out a yell that will mildly hurt you if you are caught in it and will catch you off guard. Slash attacks are frequently the next step.
• Whirlwind - The boss will slam his foot down and spin his blade twice.

How to beat the Misbegotten Crusader

In this boss encounter, there's no doubting that ranged attacks are superior. Smaller, faster spells can deliver damage swiftly and effectively because the boss only has one move that will send him across the arena quickly. Of course, you'll want to pay attention to the boss's attacks. Every attack that this boss has can be avoided by dodging forward or backward.

Melee attackers should be cautious with their attacks. If you lash out at the boss too much, you'll get his back. If you aren't careful, this boss can easily wipe your health bar. Bait a few attacks, then strike once or twice before returning to the defense. To assist minimize the damage, bring a shield with 100 physical damage reduction and as much holy damage mitigation as possible.
