Black Knight (Dark Souls III)

Boreal Outrider Knights are enemies in Dark Souls III.

Description
Identical to their Dark Souls counterparts, Black Knights continue to roam the world following their burning in the Kiln of the First Flame.

Strategy
Blacks Knights fight similarly to their counterparts in Lordran although they are faster and more agile, due to the enhanced combat mechanics. They are still very vulnerable to parries and backstabs although they will attempt to shield bash the player if they continually try to circle around them. They wield either a Greatsword or Greataxe in combat and will attack other enemies if provoked.

Black Knights respawn in all encounters and have a chance to drop either their weapons or the Black Knight set.
