The fight against the Commander | Keystone Lords of the Fallen Guide

The weapon appears after the battle, in the place of the smashed statue.

Note: To obtain an interesting weapon, place (before the battle) The Shard of Heroes inside one of the statues [M2.14] (the type of the weapon depends on the statue that you put it into: for the rogue, the fighter or the cleric). The Commander, after his health runs down, by around a quarter, approaches the statue and smashes it, which will allow you to collect the weapon, after the battle (you can learn how to obtain the item that you need, from the chapter entitled Resetting of the character).

It is a piece of cake, to get the boss from the side, while he is kneeling with the shield and it is a perfect opportunity to land several quick blows.

Commander is a boss with quite a wide array of attacks. All of the phases of this battle are identical - after he loses some of his health, the boss summons opponents and become invulnerable to attacks, until you defeat them. Try to remain in movement, for the whole time and keep a safe distance, thanks to which you will be out of the range of the attacks (a combo and a jab). The boss will then be using the "wave" mainly and the lethal forward attack- this is an ideal moment to land your own attacks, because he will then remain motionless, for a moment. This will allow you to get him from behind and land several blows. To sum up: thanks to staying in constant motion and keeping your distance, you will avoid taking damage from the sword. Most of the times, the boss will be trying to hit you over distance but, in spite of high damage that they deal, the attacks are marked beforehand and, therefore, easy to dodge. Also, they provide you with the opportunity to attack the opponent from behind or from the side, or to drink a health potion.
