Flexile Sentry

Flexile Sentry is an enemy in Dark Souls II.

Description
Appears as two male torsos fused together, facing away from each other, and attached at the waist with one set of legs. Both sides each dual wield their own respective weaponry, of either dual spiked clubs or swords.

Location
Flexile Sentry is the boss in the brig of the ship that arrives in No-Man's Wharf. The ship is called into dock by ringing the bell at the top of the cliffside village.

Strategy
Most of their attacks are basic combos of up to three or four hits; the one from the club-wielding torso are typically slower but more draining of stamina to block, while the opposite is true for the scimitar-wielding side. If playing on the safer side, simply equip a shield with decent defense against physical damage; dodge and attack in between the attacks of the clubs, and try to stay shielded to prevent the swords from ripping your character apart before he can get your shield up.

Do note that the sword-wielder has an attack that pierces your guard and grapples the player, dealing massive damage; this can be detected by looking for him to pull back and line up one of his swords for a forward stabbing attack, but it's generally best to try and keep one's health near full to avoid the risk of being insta-killed by the ensuing damage.

Also keep in mind that the water level raises gradually throughout the fight, making movement slightly more difficult.

Drops
Flexile Sentry also drops 14,000 souls upon death.
