Radahn Soldier

Radahn Soldiers are the rank and file of General Radahn’s army. Their surcoats show a red-maned lion raising a sword, and their visors are shaped like a lion’s fangs. They still hold the line all over Caelid, burning back the Scarlet Rot with torches and Fire Pots.

You meet them at Redmane Castle, in Gael Tunnel, in the War-Dead Catacombs and up in Greyoll’s Dragonbarrow. At Fort Faroth you find blue, spectral versions that move like puppets.

How to beat it

These are ordinary soldiers, but they come in groups and some throw Fire Pots or shoot crossbows from a distance. Deal with the ranged ones first, and keep moving so the pots do not land on you.

One at a time they go down quickly. Shields make some of them slower to break, so a heavy hit or a guard counter helps.

Lore

Radahn’s soldiers were known as masterful warriors, and it was rumoured that they had no weakness. Long after the war, they remain in Caelid, loyal to their general and fighting the rot with fire.
