Heavy Crossbow Dark Spirit is an enemy that appears in Things Betwixt in either NG+ or in NG after burning a Bonfire Ascetic in the Fire Keepers' Dwelling bonfire.
Description[]
This Dark Spirit dons the Imported Set and is armed with a Shortsword and a Heavy Crossbow.
Overview[]
Albeit shabby in appearance, this enemy hits hard and can tank quite a lot of hits.
In Scholar, he'll aggro as soon as the player approaches the first fog gate and will attempt to take them down with his crossbow. The player will find themself most vulnerable to his bolts while using the ladder next to the nest of Dyna and Tillo.
While he may lose sight of the player as they travel inside the trees, he'll never descend from his spot and will just wander around the bridge. This can be exploited to the player's advantage, since he won't be able to find a cover to avoid ranged attacks.
When engaged, he'll switch between one-handing and two-handing his sword, firing shots only when the player strays away too far from his reach.
Despite his many HP, his lack of Poise makes him extremely susceptible to stunlocks.
He may replenish his health up to ten times via Estus, if given the chance.
Location[]
He is found at the bottom of the tree closer to Majula.
He spawns atop the bridge erupting from the second tree.
