The player will not immediately face the Ivory King after passing through the fog door and dropping into the Old Chaos. Instead, the player will face three waves of Charred Loyce Knights who will emerge from the three portals around the arena. The knights will be a random mix of halberd, sword, or pyromancy users. During the first wave, three Knights will spawn. After a short period of time, several more will spawn, then several more shortly thereafter.

Finding the three uncorrupted Knights from around Eleum Loyce will be an immense help in the fight. Throughout the entire battle, the Knights will periodically freeze the portals, preventing Charred Knights from spawning.

Once all of the Knights are dead, the Burnt Ivory King will appear from a massive portal that rises at the end of the arena. Note that the player will have a good amount of time between when the Knights are killed and when the King appears. If the player did not rescue at least two other Knights of Eleum Loyce, two of the portals will remain open and spawning Knights during the fight with the king, possibly proving to be a fatal distraction.
Knight phase strategies

As with all other "mob" style boss battles, it is vital that the player avoids getting surrounded by enemies. The player may also find it helpful to bring down the pyromancy Knight first so they won't have to worry about ranged attacks. Being careful and strategic with attacks can help the player conserve healing items for the fight with the actual boss.
King phase strategies

Like the Fume Knight, the Burnt Ivory King is fast, aggressive, and possesses a sword buff move that he will execute after a period of time. The buff will add magic damage to the King's sword and will provide him with both an impale attack and a small area of effect attack. When faced with multiple attackers, he has a tendency to switch targets without warning.
