The player originally comes across Gideon Ofnir as an NPC. As a boss, Sir Gideon Ofnir is the Tarnished leader of the Roundtable that uses advanced Sorceries as well as Incantations, some of which he teaches you in exchange for information. He can be found in Leyndell, Capital of Ash, an instance of the Royal Capital which is accessible only after making significant progress in the story.

This is not an optional boss, players must defeat him to advance in Elden Ring. Gideon is a spellcaster and some of the spells he has access to depends on which shardbearers you have defeated or places you've visited and reported to him, or questlines you have completed/not completed before reaching the boss fight. For instance, failing to find and interact with Azur for Sellen's quest gives him access to Comet Azur. Before the fight starts, Gideon makes a rather lengthy speech during which you are free to attack him. He drops the All-Knowing Set and Scepter of the All-Knowing when defeated.

Bosses are unique and challenging Enemies that can be encountered all over the Lands Between. Great Enemy bosses can drop unique Spirit Ashes, Weapons, Spells, and other various Items.

Queen Marika has high hopes for us.
That we continue to struggle, unto eternity.

The absorption numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example if an absorption is 60. 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% is absorbed. Bigger number= less damage. An absorption of 100 means no damage goes through, and a resistance of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.

Resistances:

The resistance numbers is the buildup amount to trigger it. For example if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of whatever aux buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs.

Sir Gideon Ofnir, The All-Knowing Fight Strategy

The Best Tips for Sir Gideon Ofnir, The All-Knowing:

Use the Eternal Darkness spell to redirect nearly all his spells
Use the Inescapable Frenzy spell to deal major damage during his monologue.
Use Spirit Ashes that can quickly close the distance and harass Gideon such as Black Knife Tiche.
Use heavy jump attacks to disrupt Gideon's more powerful spells as he channels them.

Melee Users

Gideon has access to both Sorceries and Incantations and he can deal a huge amount of damage in a very short time. However, as a magic-focused boss, he is also easily interrupted. His more advanced spells such as Rykard's Rancor and Comet Azur require some channeling and a well-timed heavy jump attack will cause him to plop facedown on the ground, interrupting his cast.

Another weakness of Gideon is that nearly all of his attacks are projectiles that can be blocked by terrain and it just so happens there are several pillars conveniently placed on either side of his chamber. Make good use of these pillars, particularly for the same two spells noted above and you should be able to own this fight.

One attack of note for melee players to watch out for is his Black Flame Ritual which comes out really quickly and can shred HP in mere seconds. Make sure you are dodging out of range of this as soon as you see the black flames.

Magic and Ranged Users

Magic users who are specc'd for the Eternal Darkness spell can near-trivialize this fight. Eternal Darkness creates a void orb that sucks in all projectile-based enemy spells, effectively rendering them useless. This includes his all-powerful Comet Azur beam. Do note that the projectiles can still hit you if you are in their path as they travel towards the void so make sure you are casting Eternal Darkness on one side and moving a few steps away to the side as you pummel Gideon with your own spells.

Eternal Darkness is not a fool-proof plan, however. It has a short duration and you should still be aware of Gideon's most dangerous attacks and use the pillars to your advantage.

Tiche and you combined can stunlock him without bothering with Eternal Darkness. Adula's Moonblade can be effective, or use fast spells to compensate for his tendency to dodge.

Sir Gideon Ofnir, The All-Knowing Attacks & Counters

Attack	Description	Counter
Knowledge Above All	Gideon raises his scepter and places a debuff on himself and the enemy, characterized by a red eye symbol.	This will reduce your magic and holy damage reduction, but also for himself. Make sure to end him quickly.
Comet	Gideon's most used magic attack, firing off a piercing magic projectile that homes in on targets. He will often use this up to four times in succession.	Easily sidestepped or dodged, just do not underestimate its travel speed.
Carian Phalanx	Gideon summons several magic blades that hover around him, before shooting towards his target.	Use the pillars to block the blades or sprint to the side in the more open areas of the room.
Triple Rings of Light	Gideon summons three discs of light that travel outward in a fan formation in front of him and then return after a short delay.	The further out you are, the bigger the gap between each disc. You can use these gaps to evade them at range. At melee range, try to get behind or to the side of Gideon.
Law of Causality	Gideon stands still and moves his arms in a gesture, summoning a visage of the Elden Ring on his chest. After taking a certain amount of hits, he will retaliate with a golden blast.	The damaging explosion triggers after five hits, and will most likely inflict counter damage when triggered in melee range. Either trigger the explosion at range, or utilize Spirit Ashes and their much higher HP.
Rykard's Rancor	Gideon summons a flaming skull that homes in on its target and creates a trail of flame as it flies. After a short delay, explosions are released in a cascading fashion along the trail.	Neither the skull nor the trail deal damage so use this to your advantage to plan your evasion. Alternatively, you can use the pillars in the chamber to block the skull. Simply stand so a pillar is between you and Gideon as he casts the spell and the skull will get stuck behind the structure, releasing all explosions behind it.
Comet Azur	Gideon channels energy into his staff and then releases a powerful beam of magic.	This spell is extremely powerful but has a very obvious telegraph. Wait until the last trails of energy are being sucked into his staff before you dodge. Alternatively, you can use the pillars in the room to block the attack. This spell will only be cast if Sellen's questline is NOT completed prior to burning the Erdtree.
Black Flame Ritual	Gideon quickly releases pillars of black flame all around him.	Dodge out of range immediately.
Bloodboon	Gideon will reach into a throws out a spray of bloodflame in a cone formation. This attack applies bleed build up.	This spell has a wind up time and can be countered by staggering Gideon out of it. The short range of the spell also allows the player to quickly outrange it. This spell will only be cast if Gideon is informed of Mohg, Lord of Blood prior to burning the Erdtree.
Scarlet Aeonia	Gideon will jump into the air and turn into a lotus flower before slamming into the ground creating an explosion of scarlet rot. Likewise, this attack applies scarlet rot build up.	The large wind up time of this attack makes it extremely easy to run away from or roll under as Gideon can not change direction once casting. This spell will only be cast if Gideon is informed of Malenia, Blade of Miquella prior to burning the Erdtree.
