Zamor Ruins | Elden Ring Wiki

you can use glintstone pebble to make these guys dodge away from each other. makes it really easy to get them to seperate and clear out 1 by 1

Submit

Roiling Magma is very effective against these. They might dodge, but then stupidly saunter into the blast. Also handy to open up with Loretta’s greatbow, they won’t ever dodge the first shot.

Submit

Good for farming runes, bad for your sanity, especially if you play solo and don't parry. You have to bait them out and it takes like a fckin hour to get one by itself to fight.

This place is obsolete as a rune farm because giant blood crow farming cliff exists lol

Submit

A good place to farm runes. With the Beetle 'Gold Scarab' you net over 6K per kill. If you spawn one with golden eyes, you get over 30K for that kill.
All you need is a buckler and a straight sword. I am using a +20 Claymore from the early game.

Keep killing the solo one on the path through the ruins and then reset at the SoG nearby. Just parry then punish. Repeat. You can parry the stun he does, you will still take a little damage, but will not be knocked down. When he uses his AOE, do not run away, run towards him and to the side of it. Then punish him before his animation is over. On his double attack if you miss the parry of his first swing, you are not going to parry the second. Just take the damage and stay with him. Parry his next swing and down a HP potion after you punish him, and he is still on the ground. Then get ready for the next parry. Don't worry if you die. Just use your horse to go pick back up your runes. He is a slow walker until you aggro him. Once you get the hang of it, it is very rare you die.

My favorite rune farming location.

Finally cleared it after after dying several times as a str/fai with Claymore +20 using trusty Lions Claw AOW. 3 Lion Claw hits should take down each one. Best thing about it is that you stay out of their range and then leap in. Summon the greatshield boys for some extra tackling power. While you're attacking one be aware the other one is probably about to jump on you and move accordingly. And stay out of their frost cones! The last 3 you have to fight together like to spam it. Run around it and if 2 are close together Lions Claw hits them both for big damage.

For their melee attacks, they almost always swing twice, but when they do they take a while to recover. Make sure you're out of the way of both swings then go for the attack, but don't get greedy. One big hit each time is enough.

Elden Ring is DS2 with more budget

"Hmm we ran out of time to make interesting enemies and places, lets just cope paste one boss 20 times and throw a bunch of brick ruins around"

Easy farm: equip Night Comet as your ONLY spell, this forces your mimic to cast only that as well. These enemies WILL NOT dodge Night Comet. Walk in and smoke these guys from range. Easy 25k every few minutes.

“Huh, what was that noise?”

Place was easy with +10 mimic. Killed every last living thing. Normally my summon will disappear after enemies are clear yet my mimic goes on? Strange. Ohe, lions bow ash of war made short work of their groups. Still say Im missing more than wiki claims to get but. Guess I have to manually rud my summons.

Submit

This area gave me a hard time first playthru and this second one as well, but now im doing a FAI/STR build i find that charged frenzied burst can whittle them down and once they get in range finish them with flame of the fell god. They cant dodge either of them.

Using the right weapon for melee is really important with these knights. If you cant stagger them, but also dont have fast enough recovery, you will always lose. Not to mention figuring out which animations of theirs have the insane hyperarmour

Submit

So, here is where I am re-practising Parry once again after DS3.

Submit

tips and tricks: use Thunderbolt ash of war and Knight of Zamor won't able to dodge

Submit

Every single one of the knights has a vantage point from which you can attack at range at no risk whatsoever. Look for those and you should be good.

Submit

DS2 level design

Submit

this place can suck my whole ass

Submit

Night comet makes these guys a pretty decent farm. They won't dodge it so you can just pew pew from a safe distance.

Submit

A nice place to test out your Spirit Ashes' combat abilities.

Submit

This place is amazing for farming runes. Each Zamor Knight is worth over 5,000 and all you have to do is go to the rocks overlooking the ruins and spam them with Loretta’s Greatbow or similar long-range sorcery. It never occurs to them to climb up to get you, so they are sitting ducks.

Submit

they are fairly easy to parry, especially compared to a lot of other enemies in this game. just do NOT try to fight more than one at once.

Submit

Agree with everyone else, these guys are just not worth the time. But you can easily get the bell bearing from the chest in case anyone didn't figure it out. From the site of grace, just go up the hill to the right. You'll come across two birds which are annoying, but once dealt with, the hill overlooks the stairwell leading to the chest. Just wait for the patrol guy to be walking back and drop down. You'll easily get to the stairwell undetected.

Submit

Just went through the area on horseback while grabbing the items after seeing how many of these dudes are in it. They just aren't worth fighting.

Submit

Metal gear solid or sekiro style stealth makes this fun

Submit

A great place for mid-game farming. Use fire-based weapons, incantations etc.
Rest at the grace. Head along the pathway to see a solo zamor knight patrolling the road. Kill it for 5000 runes. Rest again.
Repeat and repeat. Kill it 20 times to get 100000 runes easy peasy...

Submit

That lightning strike ash of war (from the Lyndell) works well along with sniping the ones you can from higher ground with arrows if your a melee build. But yeah up close and personal is rough when faced with 2 of them

Submit

A key item guarded by multiple enemies with boss level health pools capable of 1 shotting the player, but they slowly walk a fixed patrol pattern and don't attack unless you get right in their face, I feel like this is intended to be a stealth section and you're not supposed to fight them

Submit

parrying makes theses enemies pretty easy to beat.

Submit

Just parry the zamor knights. That's how I dealed with them.

Submit

The enemies here are hard af, kind of a shock coming from leyndell

Submit

It is not worth clearing out all the knights with a melee build. Ride in, grab the loot, and GTFO. Just one knight killed 2 of my 3 fully upgraded wolf ashes.

Submit

Can't wait to fight these guys along with rats, dogs and thralls in Elden Ring 2 !

Submit

This place made me glad I wielded a colossal sword that could consistently stun these guys

Submit

What do you mean no npc? There's literally one standing next to the grace, the big hat guy.

Submit

What's a good spirit ash to use here? even my maxed out mimic gets wrecked

Submit

I've tried to clear out this place I think ten times now and each time I just get owned.
When I try to fight one on one, more come from somewhere else.
it's like neverending.
I just want to be able to clear it...

Submit

just parry it

Submit

what a pile of **** of an enemy, it only becomes aggressive when you're facing more than one, otherwise it just edgy slow walks towards you wasting 20 years of your life.

Zamor Knight fight guide:
Slow double slash -> Roll twice, any direction.
Fast/spinning double slash-> Roll once, through the attack or else you'll be hit by the follow up. They can also charge into it if you're a short distance away.
Backflip swing -> Roll once or just back away. Easy to dodge, but they tend to do things right after they land, so be cautious.
Ice push(?) -> only happens when you're right on top of them, just roll once. Quite fast though.
Ice blast -> only happens when you're a good distance from them, run at a curve to close the gap and avoid the ice cone, then jump behind them for free hits. If there is more than one of them doing this at the same time, just run away.
Jumping slam -> They tend to do this when you are far away AND are using an item/casting a spell. I have yet to not be hit in these scenarios, but if they just throw it out there, it's easy to dodge and has a long recovery.

Never hit more than once during an opening unless you have a fast weapon or they're stuck recovering from the jump or the ice blast.

Very bad design choice to put this in the first area (or the enemies to be exact). Made me drop the story and go level because I though I was underleved at level 100 when I got there since the enemies took next-to-no damage.

Submit

When I first got there, the first knight of Zamor spawned with golden eyes. About 25.000 runes (over 5.000 regularly), but man, they are HARD for what's supposed to be a regular enemy.

Submit

Longsword with Square Off, two power ones stagger them off. Engage them one at a time and use guard counters whenever possible. Like this you can clear out the whole ruins no problem.

Submit

my maxed tiche was died wrecked by 3 of these guys. and then I died too

Submit

Absolute best way to farm runes. Each run of the ruins will net you over 40k and will take just a few minutes. Once you figure out their move sets, these guys are not that difficult. Very predictable.

Submit

Did I miss a chapter between Leyndell and the Zamor ruins? Those stick figure knights have the poise of bosses ... and of course an AoE, which has a wider hit area than the effect shows.

Submit

Sooo I kinda found a consistent way of dealing with them, the jumping heavy attack works wonders after 3 I can get a critical hit in and that about does it. I hope it helped some melee builds out there.

Submit

I thought i was playing a dlc with stronger insane monster, but nop it's vanilla. Another proof of shitty balance from FS, using power stance with 2 heavy axe these mobs don't care, no stagger not even interrupting their attack, asking myself what the point playing str build with heavy weapon.....

Submit

With a +9 Sword of Night and Flame, you can 2 shot them and get 5k runes each. Best rune farm in the game I've found by far.

Submit

For the love of God, only fight these guys one at a time. They're practically mini bosses in the own right and can wreck you in seconds. Very weak to fire and have around 4,500 health a piece

Submit

Wow, this place is ****ing insane
