Blackgaol Knight wields a Greatsword and a crossbow that shoots fire bolts. You will find the boss switching between either weapon on the fly and trying to take you down, mostly with jump attacks using the Greatsword.
Since this is a human-sized boss, you can deal a lot of posture damage and break the poise. This will allow you to deal with a staggered attack, depleting most of Blackgaol Knight’s health in a single blow.
