Tips to beat the Merciless Knight

Not only the knight has special armor, but it is also accompanied by two standard Armadura. When confronting the knight, you have the option of either fighting the Armadura first or directly engaging with the Merciless Knight. It is highly recommended to take down the Armadura first since this will allow you to fully focus on defeating the knight without any distractions.

While grenades may seem like a viable option during the battle, the knight’s armor is highly resistant to explosive damage. Therefore, it’s best to use stun attacks to approach the enemy and target their vulnerable spots. it’s also essential to target the parasite on its back. Landing a few hits will cause the knight’s helmet to fall off, exposing its weak spots and making it more vulnerable to attacks.

If you have close-range weapons such as a shotgun or knife, you can deal a significant amount of damage with a well-timed shot on the parasite. This can quickly turn the tide of the battle in your favor. Focus on dealing as much damage as possible, dodge its attack, and soon the knight will be defeated. It’s worth not forgetting to collect the valuable Yellow Diamond after defeating the knight. This diamond is highly valuable and can be sold for a substantial amount of 7,000 Pesetas.
