Sentinels are an enemy in Dark Souls.
Location[]
Sentinels are encountered throughout Anor Londo, as they comprise the main enemy force, along with Batwing Demons, outside of the Palace.
Description[]
Giant guardians of Anor Londo. Sentinels wear the Giant Set and wield the Giant's Halberd and Giant Shield. They are highly susceptible to Poison; three Poison Arrows is sufficient to kill them, enabling the player to hit them at a safe distance and simply wait for them to die. The six Sentinels encountered near the first bonfire in Anor Londo can be farmed easily and safely at a distance, using Poison Arrows.
