Torturer

Torturers are enemies in Dark Souls II.

Description
The Torturers are ruthless warriors who were tasked with punishing the undead during the Iron King's hunts. Their equipment was designed to inflict pain rather than kill their victims but they will strike down anyone foolish enough to enter Huntsman's Copse.

Torturers are humanoid enemies that wield either a barbed whip or spiked mace. Their attacks can cause bleed buildup and easily drain stamina, making them formidable foes.

Strategy
Torturers are very deadly melee combatants and can easily kill an unwary player. Their attacks cause bleed buildup, even through a shield and they deplete stamina very quickly. Both varieties can break through a block with a powerful kick that leaves the player completely exposed to their strikes if it connects.

Torturers are very vulnerable to backstabs, especially the whip variant. They can also be easily dispatched from a distance with ranged attacks. Be warned though, they can run very fast and will relentlessly pursue the player when aggroed.
