How to Beat Alecto Black Knife Ringleader

Hi guys, I have been struggling with this guy for 2 days and died 20+ times until just now.

What I did is to have him locked on and continue to move backwards (and roll backwards when needed). When he finishes with that few charged movesets and becomes wide open, go in for 1 or 2 hits until he dies. Do not be greedy as he might one shot you with that black fire jump AOE attack which has incredible range. I also find that freezing works wonder for him since he is quite agile, you migh wanna change your Ash of War temporarily.

Credit to the other post about "lil bitch mode", but without locking on it is easy to run into him, at least for me that is.

That is all. Best of luck becoming the elden lord guys!
