Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree introduces us to new NPCs never seen before in the base game, most of whom are followers of Miquella. Arguably the most loyal of Miquella's followers is Needle Knight Leda. Here's how to defeat her.
How to Defeat Needle Knight Leda in 1 Minute (No Summons) | Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
You can fight Needle Knight Leda in multiple instances in the Elden Ring DLC. The character has a storyline with quests that span from the base game to the end of Shadow of the Erdtree. The easiest way to duel Leda is to complete her questline until you reach a conflict point, of which there are two.
No matter how you progress through Leda's questline, you will eventually be forced to fight her. Be prepared before doing so; Leda is a skilled fighter and defeating her will not be easy.
There are a few things to keep in mind when fighting Leda. The first is her high attack damage combined with her fast attacks. Finding openings against Leda can be difficult, but once you do, throw everything you have at her, including summons. Leda has a relatively low poise, so you can easily stagger her if you keep up your attack.
