Black Knight Edredd is an optional boss at the Fort of Reprimand in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. The available resistance values make pierce and lightning the most favorable listed damage types: try those if they suit your equipment, but treat that as a matchup clue rather than a guaranteed winning build. Edredd also uses Aspects of the Crucible: Wings; the available sources do not establish its timing or a reliable punish window.
Where to find Black Knight Edredd
Edredd is at the Fort of Reprimand in the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Game8 also describes him as an optional boss at the fort; the encounter is not required for the main progression described by that source. Eldenpedia’s Black Knight Edredd entry lists his location, while Game8’s guide supplies the optional-boss framing.

Which damage types work best against Edredd?
Eldenpedia’s listed damage-negation values favor pierce and lightning over the other listed types. Pierce has 0% negation, while lightning is listed at -40%; the negative value indicates Edredd takes increased damage of that type according to the table. These values are a basis for comparing damage types, not proof that a particular weapon, spell, or build will outperform every alternative.

What to expect from the fight
Aspects of the Crucible: Wings
Eldenpedia lists Aspects of the Crucible: Wings among Edredd’s combat abilities. The available sources do not establish when he uses it, how to evade it, or what opening it leaves afterward, so there is no grounded basis here for prescribing a dodge direction or a specific punish sequence.
Preparation without a prescribed build
The encounter data does not substantiate a particular summon, shield strategy, weapon, or status-effect plan. Bring the equipment and approach you can use consistently, and use the damage table to inform—not dictate—your choice of attack type.
Edredd’s health, reward, and status resistances
Eldenpedia lists Edredd at 9,792 HP and gives a reward of 80,000 runes plus Ash of War: Aspects of the Crucible: Wings. The entry does not provide a publication date for these figures.
The same entry lists these status resistance values: poison 303, rot 303, bleed 416, frostbite 416, and sleep 303. It lists madness and death as immune. These are the values shown in that entry, not a guarantee about how a particular build’s status application will perform.
