Dark Knight

Dark Knight is the Boss that guards the path to Garde Tum

 

In the darkness his eyes are myriad, glinting deathly orbs with a savage appettite for blood. Take heed of the wary sensation cloying at your nape.

He is a wild cur driven by instincts of violence, finding peace only in the visits from his estranged daughter, as death remains a dream.

      Does Ione still help you in Afterlife even if you did not finish her 'questline', like defeating them in Forgotten Gaian fight and making them less hostile in the Darkness Falls save point? It would seem more logical that meeting those conditions make them want to aid you to the end.

        he is weak to magic attacks, and is super easy at range, keep a light source and avoid his minions who explode poison aoe. his attacks are mainly aoe based with a warning of range before touchdown. his melee attacks are telegraphed and easy to avoid. haven't fought on heroic but i suspect his weakness' are the same either way safe from some shorter time frames.

          Heroic dropped the +7 mythril for me as well. Used spear for the bleed dot ability and the Cinder Bow for the fire dot. Also the bow ability piercing light instakills the add hence no need to cure poison.
