Another fight with an enemy whom you already know. This time they appear in a duet. One of them is a melee fighter who uses a shield and a halberd and the other one begins the fight on a platform, holding a bow. If the health of the first one falls beneath 50%, the archer will jump down to the main arena and will start to fight with a halberd as well.

Attacks:

  • Bow Attack - the Dragonrider standing on the platform shoots the player using a bow
  • Thrust- the enemy performs a thrust with his halberd
  • Overhead Smash - the opponent raises his weapon above his head and brings it down aiming at the player
  • Sweep Attack - sweeps his halberd in a semi circle.
  • Shield Bash - short range attack with shield

Strategy:

The fight is relatively easy and doesn't require much preparation. These enemies are vulnerable to poison effect, so it's good to wield some poisonous weapon like Poison Throwing Knifes.

If you fight using ranged weapon or have some other option of attacking from distance, focus on the archer first. He has less health points and killing him shouldn't be a problem to you. As to the second opponent, avoid his attacks and perform yours during the pauses. He should fall on the ground after a dozen hits or so.

Melee fighters should focus on the Dragonrider with a halberd first. Bring his health to a half, dodging the arrows at the same time, and the other opponent should come down to help his companion. Get rid of him and then go back to hitting the first one.

Rewards:

  • 44,000 souls/52,000 souls (NG+)
  • Dragonrider Soul
