Knight of Zamor | Elden Ring Wiki

Fromsoftware decided that the Pontiff Knights should be more toxic.

Submit

they need to let us have the armor set

Submit

Tip: to defeat them as a caster. Use the night comet spell. It s invisible for them so they do not dodge it.

Submit

I use them as a test for spirit ashes I rrally like, to decide if they're worth of Great Glovewort. Those who can solo the Zamor guy, are worthy. Have had some surprising wins and losses, too - for example, vulgar militiamen could solo (trio?) him, while the Azula beastmen couldn't

Submit

Honestly, these dweebs are second to only the Rune bears on the Naughty list. They come in handy for weapon experimentation and battle practice, as there is a Grace right by them. These poise monsters are tanky as hell, and taking on two at a time will challenge even the strongest of builds.

Submit

I’m running a faith build and found these guys a cakewalk if you engage them at long range. Spam casted Frenzied Burst at them and they just walked toward me slower then i backpedal and never dodge it. I bet magic builds could get away with something similar with long ranged spells like Loretta’s Bow & others.

Submit

Not worth it, like, AT ALL. Leave those white walkers be.

Submit

It's a shame we can't get one of these guys as a spirit ash.

Submit

Because of their ridiculous poise, best way to cause them to flinch on hit in melee are 2h R2 and powerstance Jump attacks for great class weapons and above ( Halberds and possibly scythes work too). Jump R2 to cause a flinch and dodge out of their follow-up.

Repeat till you send them to the bowels of hell!!!

Submit

Honestly, just parry them and save yourself a great deal of trouble

Submit

How do these guys have this much poise? they are literally built like my grandmother

Submit

They're very weak to anything holy. Waves of Gold has the most damage against them going over 1k per hit on a +10 Sacred Relic Sword.

Submit

I took my sweet time to conclude as much as possible in all areas leading up to these mountains (including the Volcano Manor). I went in confident thinking I'd still be pretty OP. These mobs were the exception, so I get why they yield a whopping 6k runes each when wearing the rune buff talisman.

But for me I found using the Bloodhound's Fang at +9 they're pretty easy to deal with, even 2 against one. Breaking their stance is also very possible if you've got a decent shield, as their attacks against shields are very slow and easy to predict, and two to three guard counters staggers them. I've tried fire and poison but they don't seem particularly weak to it. Seems holy is one's ticket here.

Decided I'd farm these suckers for a good while since there's a miner's bell bearing +3 in those ruins, and I have so many weapons I'd like to try out, so this is as good a time as any. To make it even easier I just finally got around to buffingmy mimic tear to as high as possible making taking on even three of these at once relatively easy. The only trouble you'll really run into is if you get unlucky with this ridiculous ranged frost on the ground as it hits quite hard, especially when stacked. Gl!

Submit

games been out for years, this page has no info on them or what they are weak too... nice

Submit

Seems they really dont like holy damage. Who would thought. They undead, right?

Submit

Hate this guy's. They would definitely be in my top 10 worst enemies in elden ring. Right next to the bears, omens, and of course that one enemy you use healing spells for to cheese the **** out of them.

Submit

Take a cover behind wall just to get hit by their frost spikes anyway.

Submit

I was breezing through my first playthrough with a relative ease, with my dual Uchis and a heavy arcane bleed build, so I believe I absolutely got what I deserved when I got ratiod and filtered by these ****s. No enemy in this game has tilted me more than these scrawny bastards

Submit

They're scary

Submit

Draugr, need I say more

Submit

They dont seem to do much when im in their attack range, they kinda just stand there, occasionally attacking.

Submit

Pontiff Knight, but having Crucible Knight's iron body

Submit

Seriously, F these guys

Submit

Just leaving this here. These guys have somewhere between 337 to 347 poison build-up. At 45 arcane, can be poisoned with a single fetid pot.

Submit

parrying these guys is so much fun... there's still too many tho

Submit

They actually put a whole ****ing area full of these guys. The devs are having a laugh at us.

Submit

Is it even possible to break their stance? I'm using the spiked and stonebarb tears with Siluria's Tree projectile ash which just stunned Morgott and these things seem to shrug it off and then chop my head off. Unreal.

Submit

Was not expecting to get ****ing styled on but here we are

Submit

These guys are totally an inspiration from Game of throne’s White Walkers / The Others.

Submit

Elden Ring players try using parry challenge (IMPOSSIBLE! GONE POWERSTANCE! THIS GAME IS UNFAIR!)

Submit

Sword of night and flame’s R2 aow seems to catch these guys pretty easily

Submit

I can only fight those guys 1v1. Whenever I try to 1v2 them, or 1v3, I die immidiately.

Submit

surprisingly hard to parry

Submit

I like to farm these guys for runes. Pretty much any character build can take these guys on if you use it right / good at it.

Parry works well if you are any good at it. They are easily parried with a buckler.
Guard counters work after their 2 hit combos if you can handle there hard hits against your shield.
Heavy weapon charging attacks work well because they can be staggered. Charge at them then back off.
Tracking spells work well against their dodge.

Submit

Raptor of the Mists AoW works well against these guys.

Submit

Anyone having trouble with these SOBs should try a Guardian's Swordspear. The jumping heavy attack interrupts them. I put Giant Hunt on mine and while it doesn't send them flying, it does pretty good damage. Not always easy to land because it's a hard skill to aim but still worth trying if you are having trouble.
Target Lock -> Running jumping heavy attack -> immediately dodge backwards ... repeat until dead. You can easily throw in some WA attacks if you are feeling lucky but they aren't even necessary. You can try parrying instead but don't attempt to backstab. They can't be backstabbed but can be critically hit.

Submit

These guys are easy. The trick is, almost all of their attacks are double attacks, so hit them after the SECOND swing. Also you can easily pull them one at a time with any ranged attack.

Submit

If you could somehow aggro these pieces of crap from The First Step, I'm certain that ice breath attack would reach you there

Submit

Add cannot be backstabbed

Submit

Getting them to bleed seems to be much more difficult with patch 1.07

Submit

They seem to be weakest against lightning, and almost as weak to fire. They have decent resistances to holy and magic elements.

Guard countering after blocking their second hit of a combo is fairly safe. Or just back away until they jump attack and then punish them.

Submit

Heavy infusion Greatsword +22 with Lions Claw and these guys can’t get a hit off. With a mimic summon it’s like batting practice.

Submit

Not worth the trouble. Use stealth.

Submit

These guys used to square up against Fire Giants... I believe them.

Submit

Another pos overtuned enemy that drops nothing worthwhile that you should just steer clear of most of the time.

Submit

Aside from the runes, which arent that much to begin with, there's almost no incentive to pick a fight with these things. Unless you're grabbing the loot around the ruins they guard, just steer clear of them.

Submit

Sword of Night and Flame +6. They walk into the fire attack like they can't see it.

Submit

Care to drop any of what you're carrying? No? Ok. Thanks.

Submit

Nope.

Submit

They're not immune to frostbite, just very highly resistant to it. I've managed to proc it on one ironically enough with the Zamor ice storm.

Submit

They're imune to frost buildup.

Submit

That ice breath attack doesn't have a hit box , it has a hit football field

Submit

This thing does tremendous damage and walks towards the player to incite paranoia induced reactions.

They are deadass locked into attacking the moment you attack because they have stupid high poise.

They are weak to being parried though, their normal attacks are easy to see coming and handle however I've found that their jump slash and backwards slash don't seem to be bothered by parry

Submit

Ofc they turn an early/mid game boss into a normal enemy and put a bunch of them in one area as if they're the same level as common soldiers, totally not a cheap way to inflate the difficulty of an area.

Submit

the name of their AI starts with buddy, and so do the weird pale guys in nokron, given their connection to godfrey by being so close to those crucible knights, and thus the war against the giants, that the tall zamor guys fought in.
could they be related at all?

Submit

buddy

Submit

I do enjoy their ice wave casting animation, very organic animation and not just 'stand there like a turret holding a staff up pew pewing'

Submit

You know is an endgame zone because these entries are barely documented.

Submit

Blasphemous Blade absolutely obliterates these guys. I like to use an explosive stone to bait them to dodge then combo it into Taker's Flame when they try a follow-up attack/running attack - the flame knocks them on their ass. If you have a mimic, you can easily take on multiple knights at once without burning through almost any flasks.

Submit

For farming it's easiest to just kill the main guy in the road and reset to the site of grace. Using +22 fire claymore with great hunt and it takes about 3 shots and he goes down.

Submit

This is my original theory: One of these creatures Trained Melania, and are Onyx Lord's/ Alabaster Lord's cousins

Submit

2 flames of Redmane and they kneel for being finished

Submit

Fun to fight 1v1
Hell to fight 1vX thanks to the breath attacks delayed hitbox

Submit

These guys are my main farm now. As subscribe said they don't dodge the night comet spell so I basically pelt them from a distance. At my current level they take about 5 shots to die, which is almost a full flask, but hey, it's a farm so I just chug them all reset.

Submit

Good mid-late game farming spot if you learn how to deal with them:
1. Use ranged weapon to draw them one by one
2. Parry
3. Use fire weapon. Or rot. Or bleed. Or a combination of them.

About 40k per run in the zamor ruins. They do not drop anything, unfortunately (their cool looking armor is found elsewhere)

Submit

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks these guys are crazy strong. I headed up the Rold Lift, saw my first one, fought it and went "Wow, that was a tough fight for just a normal mob, maybe they don't respawn". Then I walk forward 20 feet and there's groups of 2 and 3 of them. They're not an issue when there's just 1. A harder fight than usual yes, but not a problem. But 2 or 3? Come on. I'm genuinely curious, did they expect us to fight more than 1 of these at a time?

Submit

60 hyper armor and two colossal swords... one of them is tough, but two and even three at the same time??... man... pretty unfair... I kill all of them just for revenge but, yes, it's extremely hard fight against more than one and the game force you to it because they are thogether in groups. Artificial difficulty in this area.

Submit

Seems like colossal swords/weapons are the way to go. Nothing else consistently staggers them.

Submit

this mobs are pretty tough but they are week to fire. I have two nakagibas, one is regular +25, other is +25 fire. I noticed that fire one deals app 10% more damage!

Submit

That fast aoe strike they do needs to be in the game. It's a damn sight faster than anything we've got.

Submit

Night Comet works pretty well on these guys, they can't dodge it

Submit

Uchigatana+18 or so with Lightning Slash works great with these and makes it a pretty good rune farm, esp with Mimic Tear ashes backing you up. Also - don't forget you can run past these in the Zamor Ruins for the bell bearing to upgrade your weapons if you're not doing enough damage.

Submit

Does anyone know if their weapon is acquirable? I don't remember picking it up anywhere else first play through. Not sure if it is like the magma blade in volcano manor and just an abysmal drop rate.

Submit

double slash is impossible to dodge

Submit

So you cant get their armour? That's a shame, because I am always on the lookout for feminine warrier sets, and the one they are wearing looks pretty cool (pun intended).

Submit

Crystalian Ashes works well with these guys. They can't do any damage.

Submit

Yeah, guys you have to embrace evil and use a bleed weapon if you want them gone. I am sorry for this don't blame me, blame our feet boy Biyazaki for putting a boss as a common enemy.

Submit

If you’re running sorcerer: casting Full Moon sorceries on them at distance actually works great

Their jumping dodge is too fast to beat the slow homing Moon

Submit

An apt introduction to how much of an absolute slog the tail end of the game is. Thankfully, you don't have to deal with these too long.

Submit

If you don’t know how to parry, you gon’ learn meeting these guys

Submit

anybody else randomly get 25000 souls for defeating one instead of the 5000? still on first playthrough.

Submit

Submit

Easy to beat , he usually attacks in 2 consecutive hits , just block them than counter attack , try to use a straight sword fast weapon as heavier ones will lag , after 3 counter attacks he is staggered , , carry on same technique , when he tries to blow ice just run arround and hit him , never attack them in group , barricade shield make it easier and quicker

Submit

Tough enemy considering how many are in one place. They also don't like to be kited away from each other and will just slowly move back and forth while dodging all ranged attacks if you try. They won't get aggressive until you enter their space. Honestly, unless you're farming them for runes, just ride past them, get your loot, and GTFO. They're not worth the effort.

Submit

These guys hit like a truck, but their moves are easy to read. I just boink them with unsheathe + R2 on my +20 nagakiba. 3 boinks and they're down. Easy critical kill. Just be careful, and pick 'em off one by one. Getting duo'd /trio'd by these guys isn't fun. Also, 5k runes per kill ez rune farm (if you're not one of them rune exploit farmer beta simps)

Submit

Lorettas Greatbow works well for me

Submit

I'm on NG+ and don't really need to fight these, but they are so annoying that I want them obliterated! Super agile, infinite poison, huge damage per hit... hate!

Submit

Jumping heavy with a colossal weapon and backing off has worked wonders. As for elemental damage and ashes of war I found eruption on a +18 greatsword to do really solid damage, but jumping heavy is safest. Also, JUMP the ice attack, it's so easy.

Submit

Wtf are these enemy? In group?" Tiny Area? Doesn't drop ****? Yea, I'll pass. Another thing they put in to waste time.

Submit

These guys are easy as frick to parry with buckler shield, and I'm not even good at parrying.

Submit

for sorc builds; stars of ruins decimates them

Submit

for sorc builds, stars of ruin utterly decimates these guys

Submit

Holy what the hell does guys are nuts. They bullied my mimic tear and threw him off the goddamn cliff. Bye bye my friend, I will miss you.

Submit

Their proportions and general aesthetic remind me of characters from Claymore, their masks and flowing hair of Ergo Proxy.

Submit

Bucker Parry absolutely eats these guys up

Submit

So easy to cheese / farm with a magic build.
Go the high way (south) and throw meteors/loretta bows etc. on them. They can't retaliate.
Just dispose of the two snow eagles first and then make sure you're alaways out of reach.
Do it with your mimic and it'll go even faster. You'll need some torrent double jumps to go on the ruins to dispose of the last two of them.
Not that speedy but easy money.

Submit

Staggering them seems to be linked with the amount of attacks you can land in a certain amount of time. I can reliably stagger them with a spear+shield combo, yet can't do it with my highland axe or greataxe because they don't get enough opportunities to attack.

Submit

I hit this enemy 3 times in a row with a greataxe and it didn't stagger. Did the same with my partizan, except it is much faster and safer. Enemies like this make heavy weapons pointless in my opinion. If you have no crowd control or reliable hyperarmor frames, might as well just use something faster. Feels like DS3 all over again, except enemies are even faster now.

Submit

they are weak to parry

Submit

Miyazaki: What if we made Irithyll knights unstaggerable and gave them 5 times as much HP?
