However, there is really only one attack that players need to be careful with, which is when they run toward them while using the fire breath. If they block and the player has enough stamina, keep attacking as two strikes often break their guards for a free riposte. Their shield is mostly for attacking and tricking the player.

This triggers their thrust attack, which is very easy to dodge by rolling into it and then backstabbing them for free easy damage. Instead, try to stay as far from them as possible and then start getting closer.

When using their weapon's skill, staying close to them is nearly suicidal, as they deal tremendous damage and four-combo attacks that are hard to dodge, and a final delayed attack that deals even more damage. Their regular attacks usually are combos of two or three attacks often ending with a thrust, but sometimes followed by an upward attack. Under no circumstances should they be fought two at a time.Īmong the other Ringed Knights, they are the second hardest of them all. However their efforts were not recognized or commemorated.ĭue to their close proximity to the dark and their equipment, the Gods branded them with a seal of fire regardless, the knights continued to serve loyally.Īll Ringed Knights have the same traits, high Fire resistance, weak to Frost and Dark, large health, can be bled, and they are extremely powerful and aggressive with skills that deal extra Fire damage and grant them poise. The Ringed Knights date back to the war against the dragons where they fought alongside Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.
