Dark Souls: Pontiff Knight for Shadow of the Demon Lord [Updated]



After Pontiff Sulyvahn seized control of Irithyll, he formed a battalion of warriors to keep order in the city. Despite having withered away to hollow spirits, they continue to defend it from intruders.

Pontiff Knights wield either a curved sword or a scythe and can also spit homing dark orbs at the player from long distances. Their attacks induce Frost buildup.

The sudden presence of their spirits materializing out of thin air foretell of an imminent encounter with their real selves. They always move by following a determined path, which may leave them open to backstabs or preemptive attacks. If they come in a formation and get disbanded, they will seek their companions after a while and continue their patrol together.
