Although the nerfed Mimic Tear Ashes remains one of Elden Ring’s greatest Spirit Ashes, the Black Knife Tiche Ashes may match the Mimic Tear in terms of strength and utility. In certain circumstances, Black Knife Tiche is even better than Mimic Tear when it comes to Summons. To be clear, the Mimic Tear in Elden Ring is a somewhat weaker replica of the player, which means that its efficacy is precisely proportional to a player’s attributes and talents. Tiche, on the other hand, possesses the power of a Black Knife Assassin, allowing her to evade assaults and deliver scaled damage to high-HP monsters more effectively than any other Spirit Ash.

Tarnished must complete Lunar Princess Ranni’s questline to get this formidable Spirit Summon in Elden Ring. Because the Black Knife Tiche Ashes can only be gained by finishing the Ringleader’s Evergaol, which is located above the Village of the Albinaurics in Liurnia, this is the case. After defeating Astel, Natural Born of the Void, the final obligatory boss in Ranni’s tale, the region becomes accessible. Tarnished can then ride the Deep Ainsel Well to the Evergaol sub-region of the Ringleader.

Tarnished must go northwest from the Moonlight Altar Site of Grace after entering the Deep Ainsel Well to reach the Ringleader’s Evergaol in Elden Ring. Keep an eye out for the three nameless Dragons resting on the side of the road. Players will locate the Ringleader’s Evergaol after they reach the area’s northwesternmost point, where they can face Alecto, the Black Knife Ringleader.

Alecto, the Black Knife Ringleader, is a late-game Field Boss in Elden Ring who may be one of Tarnished most difficult humanoid foes. She is exceedingly swift and aggressive, and she will assault the player incessantly. As a result, many adventurers will struggle to discover a vulnerable point from which to launch an attack. Nonetheless, if the struggle becomes too difficult, there are various methods to potentially cheese her.

One approach to cheese the Alecto Evergaol Boss in Elden Ring is to spam Hoarfrost Stomp, which takes advantage of her weakness to staggering strikes. The Icerind Hatchet’s intrinsic talent is weapon art, and it may be infused with basic weapons using its unique Ash of War. Tarnished can also employ a rapid close-combat talent like Bloody Slash to keep sprinting away from Alecto while periodically turning around to land one or two hits. Finally, if players stand on a huge rock nearby, her AI can be harmed.
