Artificial Undead

These creatures, unofficially known as Sickle Wielders are enemies in "Dark Souls II".

Location
Located in the Huntsman's Copse.

Description
Burly humanoid monsters wrapped with chains and wielding large sickles in each hand.

Strategy
Sickle Wielders are slow moving, but deal heavy damage and can easily stun-lock. Most wise to evade and strike without facing it directly.

They give away their presence with the rattling of the chains on their bodies. This gives you some time to prepare.
