Banished Knight in Stormveil Castle Trap Room

[Toad]

So this is a known issue, but I'm curious if anyone has any further details or tips.

I've been playing more co-op with the 1.06 update, specifically with my low-level Limgrave mage. One problem I'm running into every so often is with the Banished Knight that you find in the storage room that Gatekeeper Gostoc locks you into. Sometimes when I arrive in a host's world, the door to that room is already open, and the Banished Knight inside will not take any hits from us summons. They can do damage to us and the host, but only the host can actually damage the knight.

Because the knight won't take damage from us summons, the host usually manages to hold aggro the whole time and gets wrecked pretty quickly. I've managed to equip the Shabriri's Woe talisman and stand in front of the knight to occasionally pull aggro, but this resets pretty fast once they host gets a hit in.

My theory is that the Banished Knight is triggered by the cutscene that's supposed to play by the host opening the door the first time. Every time I've encountered the bug, the door to that room is always open and no fog wall.

Does anyone have any insight into why this happens, or any tips for keeping the host alive during that fight?

No insight other than it's happened to me as well. As far as I can tell, there's nothing you can do about it, except maybe heal/buff spells.

Happened to me too, never found a solution.

i think it is because gostoc has been killed before.

In fact when that happens, many many times, the player can get out of the room without killing the knight.
Although most of them die almost always xDDDD

The only thing you can do is take aggro and wait for the host to be competent enough to survive.

That makes some sense, since Gostoc is the one that locks you in there. I've never managed to check that because running back to that room would be quite the detour.

Do people kill him because of the rune percentage he takes on death? I can't imagine why else they would.

Maybe accident, maybe people kill everything lol...
I usually camp in stormveil as a sunbro/invader/host so ive fought that banished knight a thousand times, and im quite convinced that EVERY TIME that the summon cant damage the knight, the host could just leave the room (although they never manage to do that lol).
Also the "cutscene" where the lights turn off and that doesnt get active those times where you cant deal damage.

The only explanation i find is the one about gostoc being dead. But i cant be 100% sure.
