Banished Knight
Banished Knights are knights who were driven from their homes, whether by bad luck or by their own wrongdoing. Most were sent to the fringes to start over with nothing. Many wear helms topped with dragon sculptures, while others wrap their helms in deep red scarves against the cold winds.
They are mostly found in Stormveil Castle, Castle Sol and Crumbling Farum Azula. A spectral one in Fringefolk Hero’s Grave drops the Dragon Communion Seal.

How to beat it
Expect long, heavy combos with greatswords and halberds, plus shields on some. Do not try to trade hits. Dodge through the combo, wait for the last swing, and punish then.
Lore
The Banished Knights drew on the power of the storm and practised Dragon Communion. One of Fia’s Champions is a Banished Knight. Horns grow from the right shoulder plate of their armour, and the altered helm shows a four-legged dragon.
