Notes

Defeating the duelist awards Banished Knight Engvall. Murkwater Catacombs is separate from Murkwater Cave, where Patches lives.
His chained weapons cover more ground than their resting position suggests. Wait for the full sequence to finish before moving in.
An overhead strike can follow his sweeping attacks. Dodge the finishing blow before committing to a charged attack or a long spell.
The confined room makes retreating in a straight line awkward. Move around the duelist so you keep an escape route on either side.
Pull the dungeon lever before returning to the boss door. There is no need to attack a peaceful NPC or complete a quest for this encounter.
