Grave Warden Duelist

Grave Warden Duelists are big, muscular warriors in light bronze armor, decorated with serpent figures. They swing a greataxe or a heavy hammer with one hand and a spiked iron ball on a chain with the other, and they hit very hard.

You meet them as bosses in catacombs and prisons: in the Murkwater Catacombs in Limgrave, the Auriza Side Tomb near Leyndell, the Gaol Cave in Caelid as the Frenzied Duelist, and in a rotting form in the Consecrated Snowfield Catacombs.

How to beat it

Duelists are slow but powerful. Their wide horizontal swings and chained ball attacks are best dodged by rolling toward and past them.
