Marionette Soldier | Elden Ring Wiki

Fromsoft really needs to nerf there spasm outbreaks.
It's bullshit that they can attack so many times in far too little time and stunlock with every attack.

Submit

Really enjoying playing as one of these, armour set + duel daggers and crossbows makes for unpredictable combos

Submit

Yeah, pretty sure Ranni only has four arms because she made her new one from a Marionette.

Any chance someone can update this page w/ their elemental resistances? I'm not sure if they'd take the most damage from magic, fire, lightning, or holy

The stunlocking crap the bow wielders feels less like they're shooting at you with bows and almost more like you're getting lit up by a goddamn AK-47.

Submit

If you're exploring the Raya Lucaria Academy Rooftop area looking for teh loots: equip the Arrow talisman (range), use a bow or xbow with good base range, plink them once from max distance whenever you see one near an edge. If they can't immediately identify their attacker they go into Spaz Mode - which includes several sidesteps. They go right over the side, nice and clean :)

Submit

The bow wielding ones are absolutely awful, thankfully they break without much difficulty.

Submit

Remarkably flammable.

Submit

having four arms was cracked enough but, the fact that some could fly melts my brain cells

Submit

they're not exactly tanks, they can easily be killed with a bow, ranged spell or incantation before they get anywhere near you, but the variation shooting at you with four bows simultaneously can be a nightmare, if they catch you in an ambush, or if you just don't see them before they see you, they will stunlock you and kill you quickly. they've done it to me on mt gelmir at a fairly high level just as easily as in Liurnia.

every time i fight the archers i come out looking like a porcupine with all the arrows in me

>when you turn on aim assist

These things can be encountered protecting the route to Heretical Rise in the Mountaintops of the Giants. I also noticed that the dagger/shortsword wielding Marionettes in Caelid/Sellia/Swamp of Aeonia will sometimes throw a pair of firebombs at you while ones found elsewhere will sometimes use Cuckoo glintstones.

Submit

Worst enemy in the game by far, how the hell are the archers so accurate? The ones outside Volcano Manor almost never miss you and it’s just a constant stream of arrow-shaped bs sending you back to your last site of grace. I think this is the only real mistake Miyazaki made.

Submit

These are called grievous cages not this marionette nonsense

Submit

What weapon should I use to cosplay these guys, because I can’t find their actual weapon.

Submit

Ranged attacks works perfectly on them

Submit

These things are how the Carian Nobles and Raya Lucaria defeated Radagon's golden host.

Submit

Wooden robots. I want to play as them.

Submit

These enemies are weak to charged heavy attacks and guard counters, one hit will make them vulnerable to a critical attack.

Submit

Did realize people had trouble with these dudes. If you don’t get greedy they aren’t a problem.

Submit

The aecher versions are omega putrid super aids

Submit

best enemy. love when they just go ballistic crackhead mode

Submit

do these seem weak to fire in anyone else's experience?

Submit

General Kenobi, You are a bold one.

Submit

Do the Sword variants drop their weapon? Can't find anything conclusive.

Submit

I love these things. When they go crazy they act like the robots in Nier.

Submit

Out of all the enemies I find rough or frustrating, I actually really like these enemies because they honestly are a good greed check. Do you have the damage to kill him before he malfunctions? Maybe test the waters, don't overcommit. You definitely probably want to alpha strike them, especially the spear guys, but once they malfunction they are easy to finish off. Most people complaining about this guy are both low damage, and failing the greed check IMO. I can say that the archers will just obliterate you if you aren't paying attention, especially 2. But ultimately, yeah I like em. Stop being so greedy, or get some damage. In almost every instance where I've failed the greed check, rolling away just worked. I took some damage, but rarely do I die to it. If anything those near escape chases are thrilling

Submit

If designers put them on "malfunctioned" state permanently they'd wipe out everything. Obvious desing flaw.
Avoid, keep at range and kill it with fire. Otherwise 1 mishap might kill you. I hate this kind of enemy design. It goes brrrrt and you are dead after 5 panic rolls and 2 seconds of blocking.

Submit

Who is "superior being"..? Rennala showed no implications of being able or interested in making robotic puppets. Only students into tombstones...

Submit

**** every single one of the variations of these enemies (except the spear ones) they can melt you in 1 combo after they start malfunctioning

Submit

Weak to fire

Submit

I wonder if the sword version can drop the weapon, or the flying versions theirs.

Submit

Really reminds me of Devil May Cry, especially the ones you find in the Academy of Raya Lucaria, the ones that hang on the ceiling.

Submit

Can drop:
Marionette Soldier Helm
Marionette Soldier Armor
Shortbow
Cuckoo Glintstone

Location: Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel

Submit

Crackhead enemy

Submit

So far I've encountered 3 varieties: 1st one wields 2 spears, 2nd wields 4 short swords, and the last wields 2 short bows. Also noticed that occasionally when they take damage, they may spaz out and attack wildly in all directions for about 5 or 6 seconds.

Submit

Weak posture but attack rapidly and repeatedly, can "malfunction" if hit, lashing out wildly, can sometimes be a good thing particularly with the archers

Submit

Visions of Devil May Cry 2.

Submit

hate these

Submit

Gotten Marionette Soldier Armor, Helm, and Spiked Spear from them so far.

Submit

I've gotten their helmet to drop but nothing else so far
