Learning the timing of the swings is absolutely paramount, because once you've got them down, this fight become a lot easier. A general rule for the boss fight is to always roll into the Knight's attacks, instead of away from them, so you can follow up the roll with a quick slash attack of your own.

Another rule is that the more you chip away at Crucible Knight's health, the more chain attacks you'll see. For example, the boss typically pulls off one or two slashes at once near the beginning of the fight, but this number increases to four or five attacks in a row.

Generally, if the Knight's attack ends with his sword on the floor in front of him, you're good to strike him, but if his sword finished a swing behind him, be prepared to dodge again. When the Crucible Knight races forward with his shield, be prepared to dodge into the boss at the last possible second. This is a shield-based attack that'll fling you up in the air and leave you on the ground for a few seconds should you get hit by it, and this is one attack you seriously want to avoid.

Simply dodge roll to either side of the boss when he's merely a few feet from you to avoid this attack entirely. As for the tail, things are a little more complicated. The Crucible Knight will now chain a tail whip onto most of its regular combos and attacks, meaning there's one more dodge you need to pull off at the end of the majority of combos.

Remembering this is paramount, because it can stun you and leave you open to another attack from the Knight. If you see the Knight whip its tail around while stood a good distance from you, be prepared to dodge roll. While the smaller tail whip simple goes out to the standard range, there's actually a far bigger tail whip that follows this attack up, stretching over roughly half the entire arena.
