How to defeat the Night's Cavalry in Elden Ring

MELEE USERS
Night Riders only spawn at night. His black horse moves faster than his size would seem. Beware of his amazing forward leaps, he can cover a great distance in a matter of seconds thanks to these jumps.
A simple strategy is to dismount and wait for him to attack you, dodge his attacks with a side roll and deal damage. This is easier to do with a weapon with a longer duration that applies effects. Just make sure you close the distance to the boss quickly, using the time the boss exits the attack animation to get in close and land your hits. Blocking is not recommended as it consumes a lot of stamina unless you are using Tower Shield.
MAGIC AND RANGE USERS
