I assume you are planning to gather a few tips for new players how to deal with them? Alright!

First, they are entirely optional, save for the Kiln ones. If you can't deal with them, then don't. When I fought them on my first playthrough, I was glad to have Fireballs ready. Those Knights always wield heavy weapons, easy to avoid and fireball. If you can get the drop on them, backstab them for increased chances of victory. First playthrough, poison arrows help, too. Just run away from them. I'm repeating myself, but a geat shield helps so much in the beginning. Deflect their blows and backstab them.

I guess that's all for now. Originally, they had been planned to wander around the world, ambushing the player! Imagine that! (°~°)
