Hollow Thief

== Basic Information== The Undead Assassin is an enemy located in the Lower Undead Burg.

Strategy
The Undead Assassin is a fast and deadly enemy despite its low health, and because all of its attacks cause bleed, you will have to be especially careful of being hit by them. Unlike a lot of normal enemies, keeping your shield up should be a rule even at a distance as it will often use a throwing knife as a form of ranged attack. Because you will normally encounter multiple enemies at once, having to contend with numerous rapidd attacks can be difficult, in situations like those, it's a better idea to retreat then use the environment to close down their attack angles.

At close range the Assassin can be just as deadly, thanks to the speed and damag of their knife attacks. You will need to time your attacks carefully, and only start attacking after blocking an Assassin's attack and staggering it, or causing it to miss one of it's attacks. Outside of its attacks the Assassin can also shift into a highly defensive posture, raising its shield up to one side; any normal melee attack you use at this time is gaurateed to be parried, so either use a ranged attack or a kick.
