Fighting one Crucible Knight is hard enough. Fighting two of the Elden Ring Crucible Knights at the same time makes for one of the hardest bosses.
Few enemies in Elden Ring are as intimidating as a Crucible Knight. Their imposing stance and magnificent armor intimidate enemies from far away, and fighting a Crucible Knight one-on-one is easily one of Elden Ring’s toughest miniboss fights. Midway through the game, though, players can find a boss room containing two.

The bosses must be fought at the same time, unlike the Spiritcaller Snail Godskin Duo that appears outside of Farum Azula. The Lesser Crucible Knight is not the worst enemy in the world and can be taken out relatively easily. The real difficulty of this fight comes in facing two of them with fast, powerful moves that can launch them out of range for deadly sweeping and holy attacks.
Updated May 2, 2023 by Erik Petrovich: Because of updates that made it easier to take on more than one enemy at a time, the Crucible Knights boss fight Elden Ring players dreaded is a lot easier to handle, now. The Crucible Knights’ weakness is ranged builds that can keep their distance and maintain damage, though they do have a few unique moves of their own. Ordovis, the one with the greatsword, uses the weapon’s Ash of War, while the Lesser Crucible Knight uses two different versions of Siluria’s Woe – one for ranged attacks, and one for closer targets, just like the Ash of War. Whatever strategy one chooses to take on the double Crucible Knight boss fight, it’s important to remember to take them on one at a time.
The hardest boss fights in Elden Ring. To make things worse, they are the final encounter of an already difficult dungeon, as the Crucible Knight Duo is found at the end of the Auriza Hero’s Grave in the Altus Plateau.
