Secrets of Royal Knight Loretta in Elden Ring

Caria
Manor, which is located in northern Liurnia of the Lakes, is where
Royal Knight Loretta's spirit form can be found. The nearest Site of
Grace is the Manor Upper Level, but you can respawn outside the boss
area at the State of Marika. Loretta does not have any known weaknesses
nor is she immune to anything. Loretta, however, is resistant to Magic,
File, Bleed, and Frost.

Her

Miquella's Haligtree in the Promenade. Haligtree Town is the nearest
Site of Grace. She will still be able to perform the same moves despite
the change in appearance.

Royal Knight Loretta Ranged Attacks

Several
ranged attack spells will be cast by Loretta, including Glintstone
Pebble, Greatbow, and Glintblade Phalanx. While it's easy to telegraph
and dodge, Glintstone Pebble is usually cast when you're far from her.

After you have halved Loretta's health, she will start using her Greatbow attack.

Loretta
will cast Glintblade Phalanx, summoning five blades that float
momentarily before flying toward you. Whenever she begins a fight, she
will cast this spell. If she starts casting this, you should get some
distance since it's difficult to dodge up close, but you can attack her
one or two times before running away. Bringing her health down to half
will cause her to summon 8 blades.

Royal Knight Loretta Melee Attacks

As
long as you keep your distance from Loretta, she will charge at you and
swing her weapon at you. Most of the time, she will be able to reach
you, so it's better to dodge into this attack instead of back away.
After she does this, you can also get a few hits in.

You will be
thrust in the direction of Loretta's polearm as she pulls it back. If
this attack is coming at you, you can dodge it or block it. In a
diagonal motion, Loretta slashes twice at you with her polearm. Avoid
these swings by avoiding the direction she's swinging in.

Most of the time, she will be able to reach you, so it's better to dodge into this attack instead of back away.

The
Polearm Thrust or Polearm Slash is usually followed by a Slam attack.
When Loretta raises her polearm, she slams it against the ground.
Alternatively, you can dodge backwards to avoid the attack entirely, or
dodge into it to attack her repeatedly.

She
will leap upwards when Loretta's polearm starts glowing, preparing for
an attack with her polearm. To avoid this attack, dodge into it.

Secrets to Defeating Royal Knight Loretta

Keeping
your distance from Loretta's ranged spells and dodging her melee
attacks will be crucial. Additionally, she is vulnerable while
recovering and casting.

When using ranged weapons, it's important
to keep your distance, but Loretta has a number of ranged attacks of her
own to counter you, as well as a leaping move. If you want to avoid
these and get your attacks off, summon tanky Spirit Ashes such as the
Greatshield Soldiers.

If you use spells with quick cast times,
you'll have an easier time damaging Loretta because she'll constantly
try to close any distance between you. As she is somewhat weak to
Lightning, you would do well to use Lightning Spear. Carian Slicer and
Glintstone Pebble are also options.
Use this Melee Strategy.

To
get hits in, dodge Loretta's polearm attacks. Dodging is the best way
to get closer to Loretta rather than away from her in this fight. If you
successfully dodge her melee attacks, you will almost always be able to
attack her a couple more times. It should be relatively easy to time
her polearms attacks.

If you successfully dodge her melee attacks, you will almost always be able to attack her a couple more times.

When
Loretta begins casting ranged spells, do not stay close to her. Using
melee weapons, begin distancing yourself from Loretta when she begins
casting ranged spells, particularly Glintblade Phalanx. Keeping a close
distance from her will give you ample time to evade these shots, which
are difficult to dodge if you are close to her.
