Melee Users

The Black Knight Garrew is a relatively easy boss to defeat if you're playing as a melee character. Its movements are extremely slow, making its attacks easy to predict and evade. The best strategy against this boss is to utilize your agility and land heavy attacks. When the Black Knight Garrew finishes an attack, and you successfully evade it, you will have a significant window to counter with your own attacks before it launches another offensive. Keep repeating this pattern by dodging, counterattacking, and retreating until its health drops significantly. Be particularly cautious of its strongest attack: a charged mace swing. This move can deal a substantial amount of damage if not evaded properly. Watch for the knight's mace glowing yellow, which signals the incoming charged attack, and be ready to roll back to avoid it. Most of Garrew's attacks involve swinging its mace and shield at you. By maintaining your agility, dodging its slow attacks, and timing your heavy counterattacks, you can steadily wear down the Black Knight Garrew and secure victory.

Magic and Ranged Users

Cast Rotten Breath when you first see Garrew. It may take two volleys for him to become afflicted. Sorcerers can use items such as Marika's Soreseal, Silver Tear Mask, Two Fingers Heirloom, and Outer God Heirloom to acquire the necessary stats for rot breath. Kite him and bring him in range of an aggressive and beefy spirit ash summon like Redmane Knight Ogha. When the boss catches aggro on your summon, cast your best damaging spells and abilities. Watch out for the frog tongue animation, as it comes it quickly and hits twice.
