They utilize various weapon arts depending upon what they wield. They are susceptible to parries, and by kicking when their shields are raised or one too many attacks are absorbed, one can score a critical hit after breaking their guard.
Lothric Knights possess a significant amount of health and are aggressive fighters however, most of their attacks are easy to dodge through and can easily be backstabbed by dodging behind them at the end of any of their attack chains. However, as one delves deeper into Lothric Castle, elite Lothric Knights with their faceplates raised replace their standard brethren. One that wields a straight sword and shield, one that wields a pike and dons a greatshield, and one that wields only an ultra greatsword.Įarly on, they are introduced as stronger enemies with their faceplates down as standard knights.
There are three versions that the player encounters throughout the game. The former guardians of the Lothric royal family and its walls, these once great knights have been reduced to violent hollows decaying in their armor, endlessly patrolling the castle.
