Strategy & Tips

  • Jump R2 is your main damage tool — it does massive poise damage
  • Royal Knight's Resolve > Jump R2 can stagger most bosses in 2 hits
  • Once staggered, run up for a critical hit then immediately jump R2 again
  • The stagger loop (jump R2 > critical > jump R2) can chain on many bosses
  • Mimic Tear with Giant-Crusher doubles the stagger pressure for fast kills
