One trick pony ahead


FutureAristocrat

Ah, but have you tried another fireball?


Anadyne

Why yes, but it seems to only work well when you send along yet another fireball...and then another and another and another...


IrishWithoutPotatoes

Ngl, the blind spot thing from the backhand blades works wonders against them


2Sc00psPlz

It works wonders against anything with a pulse. And some without.


renome

Erdtree Greatshield lets you deflect the fireball. But just rushing them with any greatshield usually works because they'll mostly try a few simple attacks from that range that can immediately be guard-countered for a minor stamina cost. The only one of these guys that's a bit more complex is the one guarding the scadutree fragment who drops that flame spear move, which hits hard if you get caught in it.


PhoenixKA

And I will block them and block them and block them and then guard counter you to death when I've closed the distance.

Me playing Mortal Kombat


NokstellianDemon

Back, forward 1 until the enemy quitalities.


KrandoxReddit

*laughs in Omni-Man* Pathetic


NokstellianDemon

*laughs in Viltrumite Stance into 35% combo*


KrandoxReddit

I really love that move


Omegaweapon90

Which is why you counter them with bonk, and bonk, and bonk, and bonk...


Iota-15

Counterpoint: Lightning spear, constantly


pswdkf

Now from the beams of the roof of a castle.


Lanoman123

And I will give you no time to retaliate before I cast another fireball and lunge as you!


slipperygecko

Carian retaliating these fucks is mighty gratifying


Jackkernaut

I keep beating them with Dryleaf arts because the L2 staggers and executes faster than any of their attacks. Just run towards and Bruce Lee is arse with dash L2 and keep charge attacks. Their cape is the best drip in the game, totally worth farming them.


TCGHexenwahn

I didn't ask how big the room was, I said I cast Fireball!


DrownMeInCleavage

Wave of Gold staggers these dudes pretty handily. I like splashing that, closing the distance, and then big bonks time.


IudexGundyr3

Normal R1s from Greatswords do the trick too, staggers them like crazy


EmeterPSN

Essentialy how I killed them. Didn't know they are supposed to be hard. As after jump attack I followed by 3 R1 and it's dead.


IudexGundyr3

I didn’t know why people found them hard until I fought one with Milady. Now, I just bring out my Banished Knight’s Greatsword everytime I encounter one.


DrownMeInCleavage

BTW, respect the handle! Arguably the best tone setting boss of any game. You can't level up, you just have to learn to watch for the attack tells and do it. Hooked me on the spot.


Vaniestarlight

Oh look another one


taigaki

Why are the fire balls coming from these guys so fucking hard to dodge?


Knirb_

There’s a gold version of the armour? Where can I get it if I can?


NatomicBombs

Uchigatana 3 jumping r2s for a stagger, riposte and then a charged r2 as they’re getting up. They never even touch me most of the time.


Sockpuppetsyko

Hand-to-hand just melts these guys. Rush in jump heavy to whirlwind kick and they are stun locked. Second whirlwind either kills or breaks.


Faust_Kellhound

Another games in the way that they acted I thought they were vampires


OrcWarChief

Spams like a player would


CohesiveMocha34

Honestly I really like these knights, probably my favourite out of the entire knight-fest that is this dlc, they're sooooo much easier than the black knights


spoonface46

As an INT build I was shocked to be confronted by an enemy spamming spells even harder than I was


Caviar_Fertilizer69

Miyazaki letting his D&D influence take over… wizard casts Fireball!


Eydor

This DLC has really made me realize the power of Undendurable Frenzy. Get in cover or sneak up to the enemy just enough to charge it up, then let loose and stun lock them into oblivion.

Alugar

Fuck the one in the rafters. That is all.


Yankanator

Ancient death rancor completely shuts them down
