Absorptions:
The absorption numbers are the % of your damage that gets blocked. For example if an absorption is 60. 40% of that damage by that type will go through and 60% is absorbed. Bigger number= less damage. An absorption of 100 means no damage goes through, and a resistance of -100 mean the enemy takes 2x damage from that source. 0 means damage goes pretty much as is.
Resistances:
Poison: 154
Scarlet Rot: 154
Hemorrhage: 154
Frostbite: 154- Death: Immune
The resistance numbers is the buildup amount to trigger it. For example if a resistance is 100 you must deal 100 points of whatever aux buildup to trigger it. Note that these go down over time, and increase each time the effect procs.

Misbegotten Crusader Fight Strategy
The Best Tips for Misbegotten Crusader:
- Use any fast rushdown Ashes such as Oleg and Rollo, as it can be interrupted quite easily. While it is performing an attack however, it gains massive hyper-armor and can breeze through the heaviest hits and connect.
Melee Users
This boss may look like any other Misbegotten boss and has a similar moveset to the Leonine Misbegotten, but it deals greater damage with additional Holy damage and with its attacks using the Golden Order Greatsword. It does a number of fast moving aggressive attacks while advancing towards you. If you have a shield use it against these combo attacks while backing up. It will be even better if you have a shield that could defend against holy damage. When you have a chance, towards the end of the attack combos, roll through and toward the boss in order to deal a few hits. Use a combination of rolling in and attacking during the small windows, then immediately backing up again. You will especially have to look for its large AoE attacks which can occur within combo attacks. The main strategy here is to keep a defensive stance while preparing to dodge away then quickly approach during each opening. Be conservative with your attacks until the boss is defeated.
Magic and Ranged Users
With a magic build, you may want to use quick moving spells such as Glintstone Pebble or Glinstone Stars. Keep in mind that when you distance yourself for this encounter, this boss quickly can close that distance with his quick lunges and could reach your with its holy ranged attacks. You will have to keep moving and constantly be prepared to dodge to the side. Attack sparinginly and in between its attacks to avoid being unprepared for an incoming attack.

Misbegotten Crusader Lore, Notes & Other Trivia
- A crusader is one who fights for change, whether it be political, religious, or social. Since Misbegotten are widely regarded as heretical, this one may be fighting to protect them.
- The reason for having the Golden Order Greatsword may be a remnant of their internal file names as “Children of Radagon.”

AnonymousThe 'stone of gurranq' incantation can stop it getting anywhere near you. It also does a load of damage if you are set up for it. Also, it does the exact same thing to the Leonine misbegotten in the boss room with perfumer Tricia.
AND the spectral banished knight if you intend farming for the unaltered banished knight armour at castle sol. I was able to completely shut down the halberd wielding knight from using any of his attacks. But obviously you need the FP and stamina to pull it off.

Totally expected this guy to be a pushover and he kicked my ass repeatedly.

Pretty sure I did 160 poise damage to this weird thing all within the 6 second window and he didn't break...

Easy boss if you can stunlock. Charged Gransax WA denies him the chance to even standup, let alone make any distance towards you.

Dual wielded greatswords/greatmaces etc. and colossal swords completely take a dump on this dude, much like the other misbegotten bosses.

Very fun misbegotten fight. He hits like a truck but is somewhat of a glass canon with his middling hp and low poise.
Also thundercloud form destroys him

Use rock slide, it will slow him down considerably and by the time he gets in melee distance, he’s manageable

Now how'd a scraggly little beast like this one get ahold of one of the legendary armanents?

It’s weird how every Misbegotten Warrior boss in the game has dropped a legendary weapon of some sort.

literally a big caveman creature and he somehow has the faith equivalent of the moonlight greatsword which belongs to marikas husband.

This one can be easy if you use the right summon. Oleg +10 destroys this one and keep its aggro. I was able to easily throw a couple of Black Flame into his face (chipping a bit chunk of its HP) while Oleg kept it pinned.

Ya ever wonder what it's like to put an enemy with Korean Action MMORPG 10-hit, non-stop comboes into a dark souls game?

Does this boss have a unique theme? Not sure if I heard the song that was playing during it for anything else, but I might just be forgetting

Cannot use summon ashes on this boss, it is also required to use a Stonesword Key to enter the tunnel.

Use Ancient Death Rancor and he get staggert all the time. I charged the spell and he coudnt get to me. Works probably even with normal Rancor, but with less damage.

He gives Golden Order Greatsword which got the unique skill Establish Order. Raise the armanent in a salute, releasing a golden explosion. Repeated inputs send out waves of golden lights.
His first wife was Rennala, lol.

This guy can be bled efficiently. I was also able to rot him. I couldn't break his poise though. I recommend dodging towards him when he does his holy wave.
