Black Knife Assassin (Black Knife Catacombs) Liurnia of the Lakes Boss

Description

A hidden boss. Unlike the first one you fought in Limgrave, this Black Knife Assassin is much faster and more aggressive. She will use several combos and can dodge with ease so your only opening is really when she leaps in the air and stabs the ground. You can then run around and backstab her while she’s vulnerable. You will receive the Black Knifeprint, and the Assassin’s Cerulean Dagger for killing her.

Lore

Location

• This is a secret boss found in the Black Knife Catacombs in the far northeast corner of Liurnia of the Lakes. To find the boss, ride the blades up to the top path and the corridor with Erdtree Burial Watchdog statues. Hit the wall to the west to reveal the fog gate beyond.

Notable Info

• Drops the Black Knifeprint needed for Sorcerer Rogier’s questline.
• Also drops the Assassin’s Cerulean Dagger Talisman for defeating her.
• All members of the Black Knife Assassins are female.
• While agile, she is vulnerable to backstabs and you can get some hits on her during her slam attack where she slams both blades into the ground.
