Demon Cleric

Demon Clerics are enemies in Dark Souls III

Description
One of the few surviving demons due to the extinguishing of the Chaos Flame, Demon Clerics are both skilled warriors and adept mages, utilizing a machete and pyromancy spells against trespassers.

Strategy
Demon Clerics have a large amount of vitality but are susceptible to backstabs and can be staggered with repeated attacks. At close range they will either perform a horizontal slash with their machetes or an overhead slam, both of these attacks have a long delay and are easily evaded by moving behind the enemy.

At a distance, Demon Clerics will hurl fireballs or shoot a flame trail at medium range. Their most dangerous attack is summoning fire orbs that assault the player with projectiles whilst the Demon continues to use its other abilities. It will raise its arms and begin chanting when summoning the orbs which offers a good opportunity to cause damage. Whilst the orbs can be destroyed with ranged weapons, they will automatically vanish once the Demon is slain.
