Bols, Carian Knight is an evergaol boss in Elden Ring .
Bols, Carian Knight is a hulking troll knight sealed inside the Cuckoo's Evergaol in western Liurnia . He swings a massive greatsword that sends shockwaves across the ground and calls down flying magic blades. His great size leaves plenty of room to slip between his legs. Victory earns the Greatblade Phalanx sorcery.
Lore Bols is a towering troll in heavy knight's armor who wields a massive greatsword. Like all trolls, he descends from the giants.
The trolls were called into service when the Queen of Caria invoked the oath they swore. They were treated as true knights of Caria and fought arm in arm with their human comrades.
Bols was imprisoned in the evergaol by the Knights of the Cuckoo during the strife in Liurnia.
Where to find Bols, Carian Knight Location? Cuckoo's Evergaol, western Liurnia of the Lakes , beside the road north of the Revenger's Shack Site of Grace

Jumping Slam: he leaps high and lands with a shockwave; roll as he descends.
Dragging Slash: he drags the blade, dashes and slashes, then circles into a slam; slip between his legs during the long wind up.
Greatblade Phalanx: three magic blades form above his head and fly at their target; run toward him so they pass overhead. Tactics Stay close and get behind him; most of his attacks hit only in front.
