9 Adan, Thief of Fire - Evergaol of the Evildoer
- Weakness: Staggers and punishes chance when it heals.
One of the first Evergaol bosses players will encounter, Adan, Thief of Fire is not overly challenging. He is slow and his weapon has a short range. In keeping with his theme as a boss, he breathes fire.Spells or Spellsbut even these are slow enough to be trivialized.

Bols, Carian Knight is actually just a troll who can cast some spells. Anyone who's had their fair share of troll encounters in the overworld should have no problem taking this big guy down. It's a breeze for melee characters, as all they have to do is dance around Bol's feet and slice his HP.

7 Ancient Hero of Zamor - Weeping Evergaol
- Weakness: Fire, lightning and magic attacks.
It's rare for Evergaol bosses to have anyinteresting mechanicsthat players can learn or deduce, so Ancient Hero of Zamor is something special to introduce Frost. This boss also responds well to player input; Any ranged attacker can have a hard time hitting because they dodge.
Meanwhile, melee characters must contend with tricky hitboxes with curved swords.

Where the danger lies is in his gravity spell attacks. She can fire projectiles at the player that can catch aggressors off guard.

5 Hughes Battlemage - Sellia Evergaol
- Weakness: Physical and Holy Attacks, all condition effects
Battlemage Hugues is also another straightforward fight that doesn't require much caution. This caster has a large mace that can easily stagger players, but the good thing about melee is that they won't cast too many ranged spells as they're tiresome.
Players must watch out for melee magic that can end the fight prematurely. That would be the Hammer of Haima Sorcery, which deals a deceptively high amount of damage in one area (making it difficult to dodge). Luckily, it's easy to stagger and interrupt Hugues' launch with big guns.

4 Godefroy The Grafted - Golden lineage from Evergaol
- Weakness: Physical attacks
Godefroy the Grafted, as his name suggests, is somewhat related to Godrick the Grafted, who is one of the shard bearers and the main boss of Stormveil Castle.

3 Roundtable Knight Vyke - Evergaol the Lord Contender
- Weakness: Staggered and ranged attacks.
Some Evergaol bosses are mere weaklings and actually no different from NPC invaders. Vyke's festering fingerprint is one of them. Despite the annoying name, he's not exactly scary with his looks since he's a normal-sized enemy.
Also, its HP pool isn't even that robust. It's really just an invader level (and even appears as an actual invader in some places), meaning players don't even have to be careful when battling this Evergaol boss. Despite the lightness, Vyke appropriately rewards players with an armor set and onegood magic.

2 Alecto, Ringleader of Black Knife - Ringleader Evergaol

1 Crucible Knight - Stormhill Evergaol
- Weakness: none
Speaking of aggression, none of the other Evergaol bosses can match the Crucible Knight. Don't let the Stormhill location fool you, this boss should not have been placed in a starting area like the first Evergaol. Crucible Knights are the toughest knight enemies in the game.
This particular one in Stormhill Evergaol is hyper-aggressive, has seemingly infinite balance, and won't let anyone drink from a bottle within a few yards. His HP is also overwhelmingly high and his damage skyrockets. phase two? Forget about saving HP, their tail ensures that all player attacks become unbalanced HP trades that can often result in player deaths. He later returns with a friend, so players will have to fight two of him. Nice.
