♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HELL THEY ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!

[Nerevar]

use estoc. poke em to thier doom. pretty effective.

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

Kick is your friend.

And estoc is a busted weapon. Avoid being one of the trash players who abuses it before it gets fixed. If you want a fun experience instead of an easy one anyway.

lol yeah they were a pain in the ass. I used to be able to parry Silver Knights with my eyes closed in DaS1, but the timing hasn't clicked yet in this game. Also they have a wider variety of attack timings this time around I think. They are not too difficult to stagger though, if memory serves.

gitting gud is a proper solution to your problem (just backstab them)

[Psicraft]

At least they're not the slow push-overs from DS1 anymore.

[Flipzer]

I can kill them without taking a single hit now, pretty predictable once you learn their patterns!

[Harukage]

Roll through their atack, backstabb, mash R1 while they are standing. Repeat until they are dead. Works on Silver Knights, Black Knights and Lothric Knights like a charm.

The Lothric Knights are a lot harder and more aggressive. Silver Knights just hit harder.

The Cathedral Knights are the true kingpins imo, at least the mofos with UGS, infite stamina, and infite poise. Though yeah, some of those redeye knights in the Castle can be a pain.

Carthus Curved Sword brutalizes them. As long as you get two consecutive hits in, you have a stagger lock until they're dead. Estoc is ez mode, if you want that.

Just focus on drawing out/killing the spear knight before the sword one walks up.

Pain and suffering as a Claymore build. I feel as though they're baiting me to try and shield swipe them, only for the Cathedral Knight to drop his block and wombo-combo me.

That being said, Silver and Black Knights are push overs compared to Lothric and Cathedral Knights.

Sword guys:
Stay medium distance away from them, just the right length to bait their light attack. They often do a two slash then stab (light) combo, which is your cue to set up the kill. Either block or step just out of range of the first hit, then either parry or roll through the second hit. If you roll through it (by rolling into and behind them, not sideways, so that you end up just behind their backs), chances are they will follow up with a stab that will miss you completely, setting you up for an easy backstab. This is why the medium distance is important, if you're too close you will roll too far behind them to turn around and get a backstab in before they finish their stab and shield bash you or something. General rule is to be just close enough that they attack, and just far enough that if you step back a little their attacks will come short and miss (this goes for all medium range weapons) unless it's a lunge attack.

Spear guys (big shields):
Parry them (in DkS3 it's usually best to parry the second attack if it's a light combo - learn the combos, bait the first hit of a combo and parry the second hit) ... but the undisputed best way to deal with any spear guy that hides behind a shield in this game is to kick them, which nets you an easy crit. This is especially effective against the Pontiff Knights as well that like to hide behind their giant kite shields all day.
