Always Dodge the Horse First

When the Putrescent Knight dismounts mid-fight, you will have to deal with separate attacks from both the knight and the horse. To dodge their combo chain, dodge twice in quick succession when the horse charges you - one to avoid the horse, and another immediately after to i-frame the knight's spinning attacks.

Weak Against Holy Damage

The Putrescent Knight is very weak against Holy attacks. Change your weapon's affinity to Sacred or use Incantations that deal Holy Damage to increase your damage output against this boss.

Jump to Avoid Its Flame Attacks

All of Putrescent Knight's flame attacks are ground attacks. Jump to evade the flames as using your roll may cause the flame's area to still hit you after rolling.

Dodge Towards the Horse to Close the Gap

The Putrescent Knight is not fast but the majority of its movement incorporate mobility in it which makes it difficult to counter attack. Dodge to the direction that the knight is moving to lessen the time it takes to get near it and land a hit.

Slam Attack Is Easily Punishable

One of the easiest move to punish is the Putrescent Knight's Double Slam attack. During this attack, the boss will be stationary, giving you an opening to counterattack while it slams its sword into the ground twice.
