Negations (or Absorptions)
The negation numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example, if a negation is 60, 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% will be negated. Bigger number = less damage. A negation of 100 means no damage goes through, and a negation of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Melee Users
The Black Knight Edredd is a fast boss in Shadow of Erdtree, equipped with a double-edged blade and wings that allow it to fly briefly or enhance the speed of its attacks. As a melee user, you must rely on agility, heavy attacks, and good timing to defeat this boss.At the start of the battle, Edredd starts with the Spinning Soaring Blade Slash. This move involves the knight spotting you from afar and flying towards you while spinning its blades. To avoid taking damage, quickly roll towards Edredd. Successfully evading it provides a brief window to counter with heavy attacks. Due to Edredd being easy to stagger, capitalize on this advantage to land multiple attacks.
Once you’ve dodged the Spinning Soaring Blade Slash, stay close and maintain pressure on Edredd by doing multiple attacks. The key is to match his speed by constantly moving and dodging his blade swings. Edredd's attacks are fast but predictable, learn its patterns and be ready to evade and counter quickly. After each of its attacks, you'll often have a split second to retaliate with your heavy attacks, which can stagger the knight and interrupt its rhythm.
Throughout the fight, maintain a balance between offense and defense. This tactic will gradually wear down his health. Remember to manage your stamina, as constant dodging and attacking can quickly deplete your stamina.
Magic and Ranged Users
Strategy Writeup for Magic UsersBlack Knight Edredd Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Description | Counter |
| Aspects of the Crucible: Wings | Edredd manifests golden wings and flies towards his target, spinning the twinblade. May follow up with other attacks if close-by. | Roll through as he begins to dive down and punish. |
| Slash | One of his most common attacks when you're battling him in close range. | This can easily be countered by dodging to the right or parrying it. |
| Jump Attack | Edredd will leap high into the air, then slam down his twinblade. | Dodge roll forward; if successful, it will give you a free opportunity to heal or attack. |
| 6-Hit Combo | Black Knight Edredd will do a combo wherein he will repeatedly swing his twinblade while trying to track you. | Dodge roll into the boss, and the rest of the combo will most likely miss you. Do not dodge away from the boss or on the side. |
Black Knight Edredd Notes & Other Trivia
- Pierce negation is 0 against 40 for Slash — the widest spread on any Black Knight, so thrusting weapons roughly double your effective damage over slashing ones.
- Standard, Strike, Magic and Fire all sit at 20, making Pierce the only genuinely strong choice.
- 19,584 HP and 123 defense, but Stance is a low 65 and he is parryable.
- He ambushes you the moment you step through the first door south of the Fort of Reprimand Site of Grace, so enter with stamina to spare.

Black Knight Commander Andreas
Use to summon the spirit of Andreas, Knight-Commander of the Black Knights.
The Black Knights were the primary force of Messmer's army. Their first leader was Andreas, a man endowed with great strength and command over the powers of the Crucible, and whose spirit in these ashes dwells.
Though he remained a devout follower of Messmer after his flight from the Erdtree, he would rebel after learning of his liege's serpentine nature. His righteous stand was rewarded with imprisonment in an underground tomb.
Black Knight Captain Huw
Use to summon the spirit of Huw, Knight-Captain of the Black Knights.
The Black Knights were the primary force of Messmer's army. Second to their first Knight-Commander was Huw, a man with agile command of both twinblade techniques and the powers of the Crucible, and whose spirit in these ashes dwells.
Though a champion of the divine beast hunt, he followed his father, Andreas, into rebellion against Messmer, and like his father, he too was imprisoned in an underground tomb.
Messmer mourned the loss of a brother-in-arms.
Ash of War: Aspects of the Crucible: Wings

Usable on swords as well as polearms capable of thrusting (colossal weapons excepted).
