This banished knight is SO tough and since I was having trouble with this strat, I found another really good strat especially for quality builds, and especially with a small investment in faith. If you're a quality build, especially with a bit of fairh, use the +10 Blasphemous Blade (scales with dex and strength, and the art scales with faith.) It's a staggeringly good weapon anyway, but the weapon art, Taker's Flames, absolutely melts this knight. The only other thing you need is a cheap bow and some cheap/crafted arrows. Shoot the knight once to draw him up to the rooftop, dodge his first attack, then dodge backwards again to create some distance, and immediately smash this fool with Taker's Flames. It deletes a good chunk of his health (about half of it at my level,) plus it staggers him to his knees so you can crit, or just smash him with the art again for the kill. It's not perfect, but it's much easier, in my opinion, than finicky placement and hoping for fall damage. Just be spacially aware if where the hole in the floor is, because fighting this guy AND several very tough rats is a veritable death sentence.
Yeah some armors sets are like that. for me the rename greaves were impossible to get. it took me like 3 days of grinding just to get 1 set of greaves. Keep on grinding trust me you’ll get it
Largest waste of time, like 2 years to get to one mob… Just start at the castle sol rooftop grace head back towards the lift, jump on the wooden stage jump over the balcony to the right across the bridge theirs a knight next to 2 dogs that drops it. Idk why every video recommends going to this one. Unless you enjoy taking 100 years farming items.
Well, it's 56 seconds to kill him without fighting him and it's consistent, so 1 min - 1 run. If you are strong enough and better at fighting so you can kill the other one faster, then yes fight the other one. Oh and if you are using weapon in one hand you can equip Beast Torch in the left to scare wolves away so you don't have to fight them and then jump out of castle zone and teleport back to grace.
@@Dopaminerthese things are definitely a pain, i farmed in the other location with the old royal knights resolve glitch way back when it buffed casting damage and speed farmed it then. But this will be really useful for builds not as suited to fighting these pain in the asses. Also great tip about the torch
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not, but my version of the weapon art isn't making it far enough to the banished knight. It keeps dissipating before hitting him. Is there something I should avoid doing or be extra careful about?
Nop, there's nothing to be extra careful about, just tested and it worked. Worst case scenario he teleports to your side and doesn't fall down. You can try Blade Of Calling it has similar looking Weapon Art and it works too.
i've been farming both with as much item find as i can and either find weapons i already have or die to some bs this should help me deal with the dual sword and his spin to win
I like to farm the one downstairs from rampart tower sight of grace. Being early on the hp on him isnt too high and i can get at least 4 kills a minute. Just kill and teleport back to grace
I was trying to get that damn armor for hours an the second i finished watching this video and doing the method it litterally drops i dont kniw if you will ever read this but thank you
idk how you got this to work because the weapon art never reaches him, but i can sometimes make it work with throwing knives but half the time he spawns behind me and doesn't die.
I love your Donatello build lol
That's a very precise description. "Walk forward" killed me xD, nice guide.

Thank you.
Came to say it worked on first try. I was shocked because it was like 5% drop. High item discovery though.
Well done my Tarnished friend 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Damn dude, I got it first try with this spot. Thank you haha
Thanks, I tried this with the Blade of Calling and it obviously works too, just less faith req!
Hold on, you can be a ninja turtle in elden ring?
This is what I call an easy farm thanks for the vid !
Playing on Xbox. I've killed all possible knoghts over 1 thousand times each. Haven't gotten an unaltered chest piece yet.
Unlucky
Yeah some armors sets are like that. for me the rename greaves were impossible to get. it took me like 3 days of grinding just to get 1 set of greaves. Keep on grinding trust me you’ll get it
Thank you very much, this armour is really cool and surprisingly scarce

Works perfectly even today, wish I could like twice
I wonder if something has changed in a patch because I've gotten nothing but the altered version of the chess piece three times from this guy
I swear ive farmed this guy for days nothin
Wear silver scarab talisman and use fowl foot + that weird arcane boosting helmet + arcane increasing talismans
Nice Video man thanks 👍🔥

You could use a ranged incantation
Or just use a bow or crossbow
Very good job on the video, thank you. 🙏🏻

This indeed will help. Just don't forget to pay attention to feet placement and you'll be fine!
Im gonna be honest I didnt see the video yet but based donatello build suscribed
I like to farm the one downstairs from rampart tower sight of grace. Being early on the hp on him isnt too high and i can get at least 4 kills a minute. Just kill and teleport back to grace
That one doesn’t drop the unaltered set
I was trying to get that damn armor for hours an the second i finished watching this video and doing the method it litterally drops i dont kniw if you will ever read this but thank you
of cvourse i read everything i read books to so no worries i always will read comments
great thanks
Omfg ty I'm on ng+7 so he hits hard I got it first try to
Hmm, not bad! It seems like you know what you are doing!
Can you perform this with a bow or a crossbow?
Didn't work for me. Other weapon that works is Blade Of Calling. It has similar animation Ash Of War as Black Knife.
thanks so much man
have fun pal
I keep getting the altered one
Just got the armor first try LOL insane luck
idk how you got this to work because the weapon art never reaches him, but i can sometimes make it work with throwing knives but half the time he spawns behind me and doesn't die.
Just tested it and Weapon Art reached him.
@@Dopaminer i guess i'm stupid. i found my own consistent method and it was this video that even made me try so i appreciate it.
Cowabunga
there is no other location more early game ?
unfortunately no
@@Dopaminer ok thank 👌
Took me over an hour to get😢
Butchering Knife, Golden Land Ash of War, and Bloodflame Blade.
You're welcome.
Is there seriously no where else to get this?
There's another banished knight in the same area, but this one is the fastest to kill using this method. Well at least at low level.
@@Dopaminer I just started a new character and I want to get this set for my build 😂.
thank you so much
