How to beat Machina Knight in Crimson Desert
Knight Machina with Marni Longsword
-
Machina Knight with Marni Longsword is a fairly easy fight, and it's one where you have to master parrying.
-
Machina Knight with Marni Longsword will often go for a three-hit combo, and you can counter/repel each of these attacks with a well-timed L1 from either your shield or weapon.
-
Using Turning Slash (R1+R2) will also cancel the Machina rider's attack, so we recommend going from Turning Slash to Parry, Turning Slash to Parry and repeat.
Knight Machina with Marni Spear
-
This is the second stage of the Machina Knight and is much faster and more likely to use invulnerable moves.
-
Machina Knight with Marni Spear should be dodged and dodged rather than parried, especially during his invulnerable phases when he'll try to fire seeker dice at you.
-
In terms of damage, the strategy remains the same and you should deploy R1+R2 (Turning Slash) to deal the most damage and build up his stun meter.
