The Magician Rider is back in her real form in Miquella's Sacred Tree, the ultimate optional area in Elden Ring and here's how to beat her.

Here's how to kill Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree in Elden Ring

Elden Ring likes to recycle its bosses a bit too much, including the major ones, but it's also nice to have high-level versions of some interesting bosses encountered at the start of the adventure. It's the turn of Loretta, the proud and powerful knight. She seems to have found a new job after the fall of Caria royalty. This boss should not be confused with its illusory version of the Manor of Caria.

Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree Position

Elden Ring

Preparations

  • As with the other fight of the same genre, Loretta's spells can be dodged, but if you really care, they can also be blocked by a shield with good magic resistance, such as the Caria Knight's Shield obtained from Raya Lucaria Academy. A great alternative, the Shield of Loretta, can also be found in the church in the northwest corner of the Consecrated Snowfields, behind the Wandering Mausoleum that will bombard you. It's kind of ironic to beat Loretta with her old shield, but with her 90% magic absorption and 100% physical absorption, it's possible to take almost all of her attacks.
  • You can craft and use consumables that increase magic resistance.
  • Loretta is vulnerable to Lightning damage.

Battle against Loretta

You can't Torrent, and the outline of the fight is similar to Caria Manor's version:

Loretta will regularly summon a large number of Bladeshards around her. It is better to move away and wait until they are gone in order to dodge them, before attacking . The most common cause of death in this fight is a combo between Bladeshards and Loretta's blows. She also loves to throw a comet of shardstone regularly from a distance as a complement, don't be surprised.

By being glued to Loretta, and passing in front or behind her, her techniques are limited. Above all, beware of its sequence of 2 great magic blade blows, the first is on its side, then it will jump forward and sweep much wider a moment later. You either have to be very far from her, or get close enough after the first hit, or have good timing for your dodges. It really hurts, and it's certainly his most fearsome attack.

Around 50% health, Loretta will enrage and boost her abilities. His Shardblades will be more numerous and leave in several times . His magic comet will become multiple. His chain of blade strikes gains an even wider 3rd attack. And above all, her Bow of Loretta will turn into Virtuosity of Loretta, with 4 giant arrows. Suffice to say that if you are affected, death awaits you. Lateral dodges are sufficient to avoid all this, but be aware that dodging into the projectile (thus forwards) is often more effective .

In summary, whether in melee or ranged, it is better to be patient and attack at the right time, this boss has large openings.
