Cask Runner

Cask Runners are enemies in Dark Souls II.

Location
Cask Runners are found in the Crown of the Old Iron King DLC in Brume Tower.

Description
The Cask Runners are small, cowardly hollows that carry explosive barrels and run away when they are approached by the player. Their cowardly nature can be taken advantage of by chasing them into the wall-mounted fire-spewing minotaur heads or the Iron Warriors' lava stream, at which point they will explode, causing heavy damage to friend and foe alike.

Strategy
Shooting a fire arrow, fire bolt, or attacking them with pyromancy will cause them to explode immediately. This can be used to damage nearby enemies.
