Knights, named for the cuckoo feather on their helmets, who faithfully serve the Academy of Raya Lucaria, and were given free rein to wage war as they please. Like their masters, they use various sorceries for combat, but they are more skilled in melee combat.

Cuckoo Knight Notes & Tips
- Mounted Cuckoo Knights use a variant of the Glintblade Phalanx spell, which creates three magic glintblades overhead that automatically seek targets once in range. They lose this ability once dismounted.
- Cuckoo Knights wielding Knight's Greatswords have the typical sword-wielding knight moveset, but will generally initiate combat with the Scholar's Armament spell, which imbues their sword with extra magic damage for a short time.
- Cuckoo Knights wielding Partisans have the typical spear-wielding knight moveset, but are also capable of using the Ash of War: Glintstone Pebble skill, allowing them to cast a small magical projectile from their spear and chain it into a deadly long-ranged thrust.

I was fighting one of them and he used a sort of blood spell or incantation (or grease?) ; the blade of his spear turned red. I really don't understand, if anyone else had the same thing.

Cuckoo Knights, literally a mocking name of a husband who left a queen and because of this, made her seem weak so they staged a coup de'tat. Can't make this up, after being cucked Rennala is stuck in Raya Lucaria.

looking for good farm location... if you're using godrick's knight set and going into the academy this is a good upgrade because of increased magic resist

There are three in the camp in front of the elevator of dectus. Two on horseback with spears and one with sword and shield.

the comments on the page from smithing stones (3) claims that these knights drop those stones. anyone who can confirm?
Hmm.. Are the great sword knights casting scholars armament or are they using magic grease? Looks more like grease to me.
