Location
There is a boss in The Forbidden Lands that appears twice in the story, once in Caelid and once in Forbidden Lands outside the Bestial Sanctum. The boss is optional, and you can move forward without facing it.
How to Beat Black Blade Kindred
There are three strategies that you can use to beat Black Blade Kindred. We will explain you one by one.
Ranged Strategy
From afar, you can take down the boss’s health with Sorceries or Incantations.Sorceries are quite useful against this boss, and they do decent damage. While Comet Azur deals significant damage in a straight line to the boss, the boss can sidestep it on multiple occasions, wasting much of your fight points.
You only have one choice if your whole build revolves around Faith and Fire Incantations, which means keeping your distance from the enemy and using the Fire Sling properly as the spell is slow to cast.
Melee Strategy
You will need to pay special attention to both his sword swings, especially when he does the Sword Combo attack, and your melee strategy for this fight is quite simple. Furthermore, you will have to keep yourself under the boss at all times so that you will minimize the chances of the boss carrying out his charged attacks.
The weapon should deal high strike damage, and it is recommended to change the scaling from Holy, Fire, and Lightning affinities. These affinities deal only minor damage to the boss, which increases the length of the fight, and it will also be a problem for you.
Mounted Strategy
It is not advisable for this strategy since his sweep attack is harder to escape on horseback. If you sit on Torrent, you can keep your distance from him and attack him appropriately. The mounted strategy is not bad if you plan to use sorcery on your horse. However, this makes the boss jump around more and use his two dangerous power charge moves.
