How to get the Death Knight’s Twin Axes in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

If you are a fan of axes, you may want to get the Death Knight’s Twin Axes in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Earth Tree. This equipment is located in a dungeon surrounded by fog and you must defeat a powerful boss to get it.

Where to find the Death Knight’s Twin Axes in Elden Ring

You can obtain the Death Knight’s Twin Axes by defeating the boss in the Fog Rift Catacombs in Elden Ring. To reach this area, you must go north from the Castle Front Site of Grace. This location is shrouded in fog and you will be attacked by vulgar militiamen.

The biggest danger in this dungeon is the moving spikes that will fall on your head in several places. I suggest paying attention to the ground. If there is a large pool of blood there, there is probably a trap above you. You can only overcome this obstacle by running straight ahead.

The Fog Rift Catacombs are pretty straightforward for the most part. The only tricky zone is where you can use the falling spike trap as an elevator. While you can ride this device, it will only lead you to a dead end with some loot. If you want to reach the boss, you’ll have to bite the bullet and jump to the lower floor.

How to defeat the Death Knight

The Death Knight carries two axes and can use lightning magic. The boss can not only hurl lightning, but also channel power into his body and charge at you.

The Death Knight’s most dangerous move is when he grows a pair of ghostly wings. If you’re too close, the wind might knock you back, and in the worst case scenario, it might grab you. The Death Knight will then lift you into the air and drain HP from you to restore his own health.

Before starting this boss fight, you should equip the Boltdrake Talisman to reduce your lightning damage. The best strategy to defeat the Death Knight is to use heavy attacks that can stun the boss. You can also consider using bleed weapons since he is sensitive to this status effect.
