| Discs of Light | Gideon summons three discs of light that move outward in a vortex in front of him, then return after a short delay. | The farther away you are, the greater the gap between each disc. You can use these spaces to get around them in a range. In close combat, try to get behind or to the side of Gideon. |
| Rickard's malice | Gideon summons a flaming skull that clings to its target and creates a trail of flames as it flies. After a short delay, explosions are released in a cascading fashion along the path. | Neither the skull nor the trail deals damage, so use that to your advantage to plan your dodge.

Tips for Fighting Sir Gideon Ophir:
- Gideon is another extinct humanoid and can be broken more easily than a massive boss.
- Many of the attacks the boss will use are ranged, which can give melee users more breathing room.
- What to look out for may vary depending on the moves Gideon has learned.
- Many of these will be spells, such as disks of light, gleaming blades, black flames, or even Malenia's bloom with her attacks.
- Bleeding and many other elements can offer good damage in the fight itself.
- Challenges will be incredibly useful in this fight, at least as a distraction.
In addition to being a fight with a lot of familiar moves for the player, there is also a lot of plot value to the encounter.
CLOSE COMBAT
Gideon has access to both Afflictions and Spells, and he can deal massive amounts of damage in a very short amount of time. However, as a magic oriented boss, he is easy to read and his attacks are easy to interrupt. His more advanced spells such as Rickard's malice и Comet Azura, require agility from the player, and a well-timed heavy jump attack will cause the boss to crash to the ground, interrupting his throw.
Another weakness of Gideon is that almost all of his attacks are projectiles that can be blocked by the terrain, and it just so happens that there are several pillars conveniently placed on either side of his cell. Use these pillars especially for the same two spells noted above and you should be able to master this fight.
One notable attack for melee players to look out for is his Black Flame Ritual, which comes out very quickly and can drain HP in a matter of seconds. Make sure you dodge the range of this as soon as you see the black flames.
BATTLE FOR A MAGIC OR ARCHER
Sorcerers who have the enchantment of Eternal Darkness bridge this fight. Eternal Darkness creates an empty orb that sucks all enemy projectile-based spells, effectively rendering them useless. This includes his almighty bundle Comet Azura. Note that projectiles can still hit you if you're in their path as they travel towards the void, so make sure you cast Eternal Darkness to one side and move a few steps to the side as you pummel Gideon with your own spells .
However, Eternal Darkness is not a reliable plan. The spell has a short duration and you should still be aware of Gideon's most dangerous attacks and use the pillars to your advantage.
