Irithyllian Slave

Irithyllian Slaves are enemies in Dark Souls III

Description
The hollowed laborers of the city of Irithyll, these frail creatures blend into their surroundings making them challenging to locate. In dark areas, only their glowing eyes are visible and they will only appear when close enough to strike.

Strategy
Irithyllian slaves are weak opponents physically however their threat comes from the difficulty in locating them. They will often hide in corners, underneath stairs and behind doors to ambush the player so it is recommended to always have a shield raised when navigating the city. Their white eyes gives away their location although their thin form can make them challenging to hit with ranged weapons. As they are always found in packs, the player should progress slowly, to avoid becoming surrounded.

Most slaves use claymores, although some can cast projectiles at a distance. They tend to be positioned behind other slaves in an attempt to goad the player towards them and will flee to another location if pursued. A few slaves in the basement behind the Church of Yorshka bonfire will crawl towards the player to attack them. They can also drop down from above which leads to a damaging grab attack.
