How to beat Sir Gideon Ofnir, the All-Knowing in Elden Ring

Key Exploit:

Sir Gideon's primary weakness lies in his susceptibility to interruption. Employing an aggressive melee approach disrupts his spellcasting, significantly hindering his offensive potential.

Spirit Ash Summoning:

While specific NPC summons are unavailable, Spirit Ashes offer valuable assistance. Select a resilient Spirit Ash capable of drawing Gideon's focus, creating openings for decisive attacks.

Understanding Gideon's Spell Arsenal:

Gideon wields a diverse repertoire of spells, including:

Comet Azur: A channeled attack unleashing a devastating barrage of magical projectiles.

Comet: A swift, single-target magic bolt.

Carian Phalanx: Conjures spectral swords that home in on the Tarnished. Avoidance is recommended.

Rings of Light: Generates expanding discs of light. Timely dodges towards Gideon and positioning yourself on the opposite side of the discs are key to mitigating damage.

Law of Causality: A potent incantation that grants Gideon a magical aura. Attack him aggressively to prevent the aura from reaching a critical point and detonating.

Bonus Attacks:

Defeating specific optional bosses (Malenia, Mohg, or Rykard) grants Gideon access to their signature attacks. Be prepared to counter these additional offensive maneuvers.

Defensive Considerations:

Equipping armor with high magic resistance can offer a marginal advantage. However, mastering offensive tactics remains the most effective strategy.

With an aggressive melee approach and by understanding the cues of Gideon's spells and adapting to any additional attacks he may possess, you will be able to defeat Sir Gideon Ofnir and claim your rightful place as Elden Lord.
