The Black Knife Assassin is injured when you get to him so take advantage of his small health bar and finish the job someone else started.
The Black Knife Assassin can be found at the back of the Deathtouched Catacombs and to get there you need to go through the area to the back of the Catacombs taking out the Skeletons which unless you have a Holy weapon will require an extra hit once they’re down to prevent them from resurrecting.
Pull the lever at the back wall then head back to the start, rest at the Site of Grace if you need to replenish your flasks then go through the now open door and through to the boss.
The Black Knife Assassin is already at around 60% health when you go through to the fight which will make things easier but take care though as this guy can inflict heavy damage on you if you allow him to.
Ranged / Mage / Melee builds should be OK here as long as you don’t get greedy and wait for him to finish a combo before going in for some hits of your own then back off before he winds up again.
Utilising a combination of swipes, spins, plunges and powerful strikes the Black Knife Assassin can easily rip you apart if you allow him to so utilise guard counters where you can waiting for the combo to finish before beginning your own.
Work him down whilst keeping track of your own health to bring him down.
That’s where to find and how to take down the Black Knife Assassin which once done will award you a very powerful Talisman.
