How to Beat White Clad Noble

To beat the formidable White Clad Noble, you’ll need to use cunning, perseverance, and exact timing. Whiteclad Noble has two forms: a half-serpent, half-human. As such, this boss battle is split into two sections. Every phase presents a different set of behavioural shifts and attack patterns, so you have to modify your strategy accordingly. You’ll learn the best tactics and methods from this guide to defeat this dangerous opponent in 2024.

KEYPOINTS:

• Whiteclad Noble launches his spear at you as the battle gets underway. In Phase 1, he mostly uses charged spear assaults, quick spear thrusts, and water manipulation. He regularly utilises his spear to generate a potent AoE water swipe, thus you’ll need to employ the Pillar Stance to dodge properly in order to avoid taking a lot of damage.
• The issue is that Whiteclad Noble may attack from any direction and moves quickly throughout the arena. You must be vigilant and ready to evade strikes at any time in order to combat this. Watch his fast movements carefully to see where he will attack next. He may even throw himself at you with his spear, either by jabbing it into the ground and swinging off it or by simply swinging it towards you, so be on guard.
• You can continually hit Whiteclad Noble and stagger him until you can charge a Heavy Attack to deplete his health if you immobilise him at the appropriate time. You can change the course of the fight and avoid the majority of his strikes with precise timing and fast reactions.
• Phase 2 of the fight begins after you empty his health bar, causing a sequence in which the Whiteclad Noble exposes his real snake form. His new health bar and increased agility and danger are the results of this metamorphosis.
• With a few significant adjustments, the Whiteclad Noble’s Phase 2 assault pattern mostly stays the same. Though fewer in number, his water-wave missiles are now aimed more directly at you. He still makes use of his leaping charge thrust, but now his leap is propelled by his snake body. To put it simply, his assaults are harder to avoid due to his extended range and greater force.
• Phase 2 is the time to use your Red Tides spell and summon Spirits, while you can still benefit from the Pillar Stance. The Wandering Wight Spirit and the Immobilise spell can be combined to cause the Whiteclad Noble to lose up to 30% of their health. Use the Red Tide spell when the chance presents itself to change and deal maximum damage to finish off the boss.
