Crucible Knight has two phases, and the second phase is triggered when you’ve damaged him to around 60% health.
The Crucible Knights served Godfrey, the first Elden Lord. They hold the power of the crucible of life, the primordial form of the Erdtree. In time, the strength shown by these knights, and even their appearance, was seen as chaotic and deserving of scorn.
It’s up on a cliff to the east of Gatefront Site of Grace. To head into the Evergaol you’ll need to interact with the glowing runic circle at the center of the brick circle. You’ll then be transported to a relatively small area where you can fight the Crucible Knight.
You’ll fight Crucible Knight at other locations too, but this is the toughest version due to your relative power level when you can encounter it.
During the first phase, Crucible Knight acts like a pretty standard (still tough!) knight enemy. He has a large shield and a longsword, meaning he’ll use standard knight moves like forward lunging with his sword whilst he has his shield up. The best way to face this fight is to be patient and try to wait for an opening when the knight’s body is visible and he isn’t about to swipe at you with his sword. He isn’t a chaotic or messy fighter so you’ll need to follow his lead on this and also be calculated in your swings. The only place you might get in some free uncontested attacks is when he uses his shield bash.
