Grand Archives Scholar Enemy Description
- An eerie enemy, donning a long, tattered robe and drenched in wax. Usually seen holding a candle.
- The wax forms a candle on all their heads, but only the ones with burning candles can cast spells.
- Located only in the Grand Archives
Grand Archives Scholar Combat Information
- They have 3 attacks: a standard missile, a missile spray (inaccurate) and one attack that shoots wax at the player. Leaves one drenched in wax. If enough wax build up you'll be slowed and unable to roll. Deals Standard Damage or Thrust Damage.
- The first landed attack of wax upon the player instills a temporary fire resistance de-buff of -100 total. If a second wax attack lands, fire resistance drops further down to -300 while under the effect of the wax.
- Scholars with lit flames on their heads can cast spells dealing Magic Damage.
- Highly vulnerable to Fire Damage.
- Minor resistance to Magic Damage.
- They are often accompanied by Hollow Slaves and Clawed Curses.
- Can be lured?
- Cannot be Rapported.
Grand Archives Scholar Notes & Trivia
- They drop a lot of Souls relative to their difficulty. 2700 Souls for the burning candle variant. 1500? Souls for the snuffed candle variant
- It states on the 'Scholar's Shed Skin' item that the scholars covered their heads in wax in order to stay sane while reading the contents of the archives. This item cannot be received in the game by conventional means.

Ever see that 1 scholar shooting a farron dart at the books? Can usually see him after grabbing pillars of light spell and dropping down from the rafters. Is he flexing his new wand?

Still is funny to me that one of the easiest non-DLC ways to farm souls is to beat up a bunch of nerds in the library and take their lunch money.

Is it just me or do these guys look just like the statues in Undead Parish in DS1?

I love how even in this fantasy world, there's no spells to protect you from evil books so people just dunk their faces in candle wax because video game I guess

It would be rad if after you dunked your head in wax you could use a torch to light the little wick on top of your head

Not Only it slows you down but it also lowers you're Fire Resistant a slot so beware the Hallow Slaves with their Firebombs and fire weapons

I swear I got the shed skin on one of my characters though. I am going to double check.
According to the guide they can drop their head piece, has anyone ever gotten it though.
This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come.
