There are plenty of boss fights in Elden Ring (230 boss fights to be exact), and you can expect to die at least 10 times to each of them, as it is the Souls way. Fighting these bosses can take hours upon hours of losing, raging, and pleading before your luck kicks in and you win the fight. Either that, or the game finally takes pity on you. In this guide, we will be showing you how to fight Alecto, the fast and agile Black Knife ringleader.
Elden Ring – How To Defeat Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader
Alecto Strategy
Alecto is a high level boss that can move fast and hit hard at the same time. Her attacks not only do an insane amount of damage, but it also can sap some of your health away, making her already high damage even more deadly. She can also perform grab attacks that makes her quickly close the gap between you and grab you. Once she does, she will stab you several times before letting you go.
The best way to defeat Alecto is through melee. As scary as she is, she is still the size of a regular person (or as normal as a person in Elden Ring can be). Attacking with melee attacks can stagger and even break her poise. You can even parry her to break her guard and inflict a critical attack. However, don’t counter all of her attacks, as some of them cannot be countered or even blocked.
If you are a range fighter, it is possible to beat her, but it is much more harder to do so compared to using melee weapons. As Alecto is incredibly fast and mobile, hitting her can be very difficult as she can easily dodge any of your attacks.
