Grave Warden



The  are enemies in Dark Souls II. They are first encountered in the Earthen Peak and can later be found in the Undead Crypt.

Grave Wardens are humanoid warriors that wear ragged robes, including a cloth mask concealing their faces. They wield spears and sickles that are capable of inflicting dark damage on the player.

Strategy
Grave Wardens have low poise and can be easily staggered by repeated attacks. However they tend to guard a lot and their spear attacks can inflict dark damage even when blocking, so it is advised to evade their lunges rather than guard them. Grave Wardens can heal with Estus when injured.

The Grave Wardens encountered in the Undead Crypt are not initally hostile to the player unless they are attacked. They will also become aggressive if the player enters their chamber with a source of light, such as a torch.
