Combat Information

  • Wields: Ledo's Great Hammer (RH) and Silver Knight Shield (LH)

      I found one easy way to kill him, just put some distance between you and bait his running attack which you can parry. Thats the way I did it after i died about 3 times to him.

        Ok so, if you have the "Great Doors" shield/s, you can simply knock him off the raised area, not the one he explicity spawns at bc the edge is raised a little, but the small area through the archway that is on the left of the three stacked boxes. I held up the shields, got our positions switched rq and then clicked R1. It took two shoves, but all things considered...it was VERY EASY.

          Astora Greatsword fully charged heavy attacks. I am a certified Crypt Blacksword user as well. Anything you hit with the fully charged heavy attacks will fall and you can keep 'em on the ground and kill them easily

            Bullshit fight. If he hits me once it doesn't matter he will stun lock me instantly and kill me, basically a 1 shot kill every attack plus his poise is ridiculous and i cant get a hit in without being hit back, i want to skip this but ill feel like a *****

              Firelink Greatsword really messes with him. That weapon art only has to slightly touch him and he's getting knocked down.

                I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but look up, "Dark Souls Rosie - BIG TRUCK", I'm wondering if this inspired Silver Knight Ledo. That video was one of the OG viral souls videos and there's a good chance someone at Fromsoft saw it.

                  SL60, absolutely cannot stand this guy. Absurd health, absurd poise, and if he catches me once it's like 80% he'll combo me to death. Sure, his swings are slow and I have plenty of opportunity to hit him first. But that means nothing, because he can tank my hit like it didn't happen and immediately end me while I'm recovering. The only option is an extended defensive match.

                    When I aggro'd him he glitched into the wall and then fell through the map and died. Anyone else had this?

                      toxic mist for him then runned to the balcon and just saw him fell thru a wall and he was dead strange but well hes a pisser.

                        Cheese strat: Go up the stairs where you enter his area and then get his attention. As soon as he starts following you, drop down from the stairs to the first edge leading down and spam ranged spell attacks or bow as he cannot hit you or jump down.

                          Dude's got NO poise. I 2 handed the Executioner Greatsword and as long as he isn't doing his WA (which caught me by surprise and killed me in one go in the first encounter) you can stunlock him with R1 spam. EZ PZ

                          • R2 thrust/slash combo with the Washing Pole cuts through him like butter. The thrust will interrupt most of his attacks but the weapon art and the slash will almost always catch him giving you enough time for an R1 follow up before he breaks away.

                              if struggling use friede's great scythe as ledo can't be asked to dodge your r2 and r1 attacks, you might need a little bit of poise if you want to pull this off

                                In order for him to spawn you HAVE to knock Midir off the bridge. Halflight can be dead, Gael can be dead, you can be unembered but as far as im aware Midir has to be ALIVE but knocked off the bridge in order for Ledo to spawn

                                  Storyteller Staff’s Poison Spores WA really came in handy. Aggro him out of the doorway and lure him to the ledge next to the stairs. Drop down to the nearest ledge, target him from below, and unleash the spores. Keep using the WA to keep his aggro up and let the poison do it’s magic.

                                    2-handed spotted whip R2s break his poise. I just walked backwards down the stairs hitting him at range while poison did its thing. Only had to dodge once or twice.

                                      God the fact that Ledo was going to have a unique and cool as **** looking armor set but it got scrapped is one of the stupidest things Miyazaki has done. Right up there with letting Ornstein's helmet go plume-less for as long as it did.

                                        Ledo is in the DLC. You are talking about the guy who invades in catacombs of carthus lake area or whatever.

                                          Hey guys. I'm running on low sl but I found alternative for those too lazy to roast in lava; go for the ledge with a corpse to lure him in, roll behind him through one of his attacks and use the force. Praise the gravity!

                                            i used to think he was just a guy claded in silver knight armor proclaiming himself a silver knight, but nope, he's the real deal

                                              Well, damn. THAT was easy. Hammer or no, Ledo doesn't have the poise to trade with another Great Hammer. He's also vulnerable to Frostbite. Vordt's eats him for lunch.

                                                    Dude scared the***** out of me. All npcs I’ve fought just side walk when you draw bows against them and dodge every time. Ledo full on sprinted at me the moment I drew my dragonslayer great bow and smacked me with his train cargo on a stick. Nice surprise From.

                                                      "Ledo won't invade if you have killed Halflight, Spear of the Church before his encounter." Is incorrect, still spawns.

                                                        I’d rather have what would’ve been his armor than the herald armor it would’ve gave him a lot more character

                                                          If you don't care about how you kill him, Toxic Mist FTW. Run up to Ledo's spawn point and as he is spawning spurt your Toxic Mist at him and hide behind the corner so he can't see you and wait for him to get toxic. Once the effect ends Ledo will be on low health but not quite dead yet. Puff another cloud at him through the corner/walls and he will detect you but will get toxic again because he likes to edgewalk even in Toxic Mist as long as he doesn't see you. Then just back off and avoid him until he falls apart. Perfect.

                                                          • Bow Strat: Composite Bow +9 or +10 and 2 stacks of an arrow. (Tested on NG+9) First of all, you don't want to fight inside the room, bait him outside. It does 120 damage from normal R1 and 80 damage with roll R1; both with Standard Arrow. At mid-range just shoot him normally and hope he doesn't roll (he sometimes tank the arrow) and when he attacks just roll R1.

                                                                General melee strategy:

                                                                Bait out the weapon art, stay just outside of the range of the the two spins, then sprint straight at him as he transitions into the overhead smash. Roll past him just as the hammer starts to come down: if you time it right you'll i-frame through the hammer, clear the rock shatter AoE, and land a few feet behind him. He'll be stuck in his recovery animation for a good 3-4 seconds, so run up and get a backstab or R1/R2 combo, then roll away to regain your stamina. Repeat until dead.

                                                                • Anonymous

                                                                  Use a spear, pike, those kind of weapons. Ledo kind of just edge-walks until you're close enough.

                                                                  Because spears and pikes are just out of Ledo's range, you can poke Ledo once, then backpedal, or roll away. Rinse and repeat until Ledo joins the pile of abused NPCs.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    For the Sorcerers and Dark casters in the game, dodge back and cast Great Soul Dregs. He'll dodge forwards, but the projectile is slow enough that it will hit him at the end of his dodge. Other slow projectiles might work, too, but this one you get for free as part of the DLC anyway.

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                      Are we in a bar? Cause it seems like this guy gets a lot of FREE SHOTS. Also unlimited stamina once you get him down to >75% health. Goes from being able to do four shots to as many as he wants because screw you that's why.

                                                                      Furthermore, I have NEVER seen Ledo heal, IDK what some of you guys are on about, I know he doesn't because he chews through half my estus everytime I go in without an Ultra Great Weapon of some kind because he cannot be traded with. At all. I went in with a Havel build once and he just takes it.

                                                                      Best strategy I can give is roll to HIS RIGHT on the first R1 and to HIS LEFT on the second R1. If you roll into where a Greathammers attack STARTS you have vastly higher odds of not getting a roll catch in.

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                        If you're having issues with the Pancake King and his Hammer of Flatmaking, lure him out back the way you came in and jump down to the FIRST ledge. He should start trying to run/jump/swing at you from above, but he won't drop down and he won't back away into the building. Lock on to him and use bombs, arrows or spells with a large AoE to cheese the ***** out of him. Ten black firebombs and five large arrows were all it took. You won't be able to free aim your bow at him as he will be in the upper dead zone, but if you lock on and stand on the very edge of the ledge (careful not to fall off as you'll have to go all the way round and come back) you'll be able to hit him most of the time.

                                                                        Alternatively, you could git gud and take the chance to practice dodging that *****ing hammer in a controlled way. It's a widely used PvP weapon so it can be a good chance to train yourself.

                                                                        Another cheese involves forcing him off the ledge, or running it, throwing a high damage spell and then running off down the cliffs, then coming back and repeating the process until he runs out of estus and dies. He won't heal very often but I have seen it happen occasionally.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                                          I love this invader and I'm kinda of sad that he wore regular sliver knight armor because I've recently seen what they wanted his armor to look like and it looked so badass.
                                                                                          It was like a hybrid of the sliver knight and the millwood knight set

                                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                                              • Anonymous

                                                                                                  • It seems he does not use estus. I killed him first try with only half health and 2 estus left, just by spamming Wolf Knight GS weapon art and kiting, when I backed off recovering the stamina he only chases with normal speed and never used any healing even when his health has been chipped under 1/3. I think this is a good information but it needs further testing.
