Moss Knight

Behaviour and Tactics

 * Block: blocks with its shield when engaged. It will face The Knight with the shield from any direction.
 * Swing: strikes once or twice to the front, lunging forward with each swipe and pausing for a bit after the last strike.
 * Thorn Spit: spits a projectile of thorns at the Knight that travels in a parabolic arc. This projectile cannot be destroyed.
 * Disengage: occasionally jumps backwards, disengaging from melee battle. If the Knight is close enough it will chain this into a melee attack, baiting the Knight into pursuing them. If it creates enough distance between it and the Knight it will chain it into a Thorn Spit attack.

There are several easy ways to dispose of it. 3 Vengeful Spirit attacks and 1 Old Nail hit is the easiest way to kill it in the early game.

Baiting its melee by standing in front of it and jumping over it to land a few hits from above is a safe strategy as well. Another strategy is to use the Mothwing Cloak, bait its ranged attack, then dash in to get a hit in before it can raise its shield again.

Location
They can be spotted only in Greenpath, usually guarding geo or something of interest.

Trivia

 * A non-respawning Moss Knight is found across the surface of the Lake of Unn with unique Dream Nail dialogue.
