Sir Erwin the Gallant Cavalier is one of the trickiest bosses added in the V Rising 1.1 Invaders of Oakveil update. Here’s where to find him and the best way to take him down.

Where to Find Sir Erwin

You’ll find Sir Erwin at the Horse Racing Track on the western side of Dunley Farmlands. He’s a level 46 boss. Defeating him unlocks the Stable system and mount-related upgrades.

Best Strategy to Beat Sir Erwin

Sir Erwin fights while mounted and moves quickly. Many players recommend skipping him early and coming back when you are at least four gear levels higher.

Suggested Weapon

Throwing Daggers are the best choice. They let you attack from range while staying mobile. Sir Erwin moves fast, so melee weapons can struggle. You can unlock daggers by defeating Bane the Shadowblade, another boss in Dunley Farmlands.

Recommended Abilities

• Chaos Volley (ranged spell)

• Void (Chaos tree AoE spell)

• Veil of Blood (for your dash)

• Chaos Barrage (ultimate ability)

Playstyle Tips

Keep moving and only use your dash when Erwin is about to hit you with his sword or horse charge. His lightning balls and chain lightning can often be dodged by sidestepping without using your dash. Use decoy abilities like Ward of the Damned to summon skeletons and distract him. Drop Void when Erwin is focused on a decoy or after dodging his charge attacks.

Armor Suggestion

Use gear that grants movement speed. Shadewatcher (upgraded from Nightstalker) or Duskwatcher (upgraded from Hollowfang) are good choices if you’ve advanced enough.

Sir Erwin’s Attack Patterns

• Sword Swipes — Close-range melee swings.

• Lightning Balls — Can be dodged without dashing.

• Chain Lightning AoE — Tracks your movement.

• Horse Charge and Jump Attack — Use dash to evade.

• Electric Horse Summon (on Brutal difficulty and above) — Kill it quickly or you’ll get overwhelmed.

Cheese Tip

Fighting near the bleachers or using the horse stables can sometimes cause Erwin to get stuck, making it easier to hit him with ranged attacks.

Rewards for Defeating Sir Erwin

Structures Unlocked:

• Stables

• Stables Decor

Spells and Powers:

• Tier 1 Spell Point

• Cyclone

• Ball Lightning

• Discharge

Final Blurb

Sir Erwin demands patience and precision. Bring Throwing Daggers, stay mobile, and take your time learning his patterns. Once you master the fight, the Stable and new spells will be well worth the effort.
