Black blade kindred

You can encounter the Black Blade Kindred early if you teleport to Dragonbarrow's Bestial Sanctuary, but it's highly recommended you attempt this fight later in the game when you are stronger. Even late in the game, it can still be a tough fight due to its immense damage output and health. It's possible to encounter this enemy as early as when you can teleport here from the East Limgrave sending gate by the church of Marika, though you'll find it has a very low aggro range especially from behind. Don't let that fool you, as the difficulty in Dragonbarrow exceeds that of the rest of Caelid and even the Altus Plateau, so you should wait to attempt this fight until you've almost completely strengthened your weapon, or be prepared to deal minimal damage. While the Black Blade Kindred cannot fit inside the Bestial Sanctum it guards, many of its attacks can still reach you. However, riding around behind the sanctum or behind Gurranq can sometimes cause the gargoyle to reset its aggro without resetting health - allowing you to quick hit and run attacks. Otherwise, you should prepare to tackle this foe with a strengthened spirit summon like the Mimic Tear or other legendary ashes that can hold its aggro to help make the fight easier. The Black Blade Kindred has a good range of moves, most of which have a lengthy start-up animation, and it can swap between using its short sword or halberd with a flashy weapon swapping attack. This can be a tough fight due to the immense damage and health the Black Blade Kindred has, but if you defeated the Valiant Gargoyles in Siofra you'll have a bit of an easier time once leveled up, since there's only one to deal with, and you can still summon spirits. Having a tanky spirit to distract the gargoyle will help you line up hits and get around its attacks. If you're having trouble, you can try using a striking damage weapon like a mace that this boss isn't resistant to. Otherwise, focus on evading the long sweep attacks and follow up with a few of your own before backing off. Many of the Black Blade Kindred's attacks have them lunge forward, and you can sometimes duck under these attacks or at least roll forward and under the attacks, giving you the opportunity to get some free hits in. Otherwise, use its dashing or flying slam attacks as opportunities to dodge past the hits and attack while its busy pulling the halberd out of the ground. Ranged and magic users can have an easier time using spells when its in long winding up attacks, as you'll only have to worry about the roar or cutter projectiles to dodge to the side of, and be wary of flying charge attacks - but other wise most other attacks are at close range.

Additional Fight Strategy You can reach this boss very early on in the game, but it's a good idea to wait until you're stronger to try to defeat it. Summon Millicent.

In the end the only thing which i had to watch out for was an instant kill combo with the halberd special when i was too close.
