Headless Gargoyle Combat Information

  • They can use each of their wings as a Shield to block attacks and can perform a shield bash if the player's guard is up. This can make it very difficult to hit their sides, but they can still be kicked and have their guard-broken. 
  • Depending on their weapon:
    • Ones with hammers cause 5 fireballs to splash out from the location of impact with each attack.
    • Ones with spears will be airborne when executing most of their attacks.
  • Attacks that first touch their wings deal about 40% less damage.
  • Attacks that strike the base of their tail inflict more damage.
  • They appear to be fairly vulnerable to Strike damage and resistant to Slash damage.
  • Weak to Strike, Magic and Dark.
  • Resistant to Slash, Fire and Lightning.
  • Immune to Bleed, Frost, Poison and Toxic.
  • They can fall to their deaths.
  • Can be lured?
  • Can be Rapported?

      "Look we talked about this, if you want to use spear, use a SPEAR. If you want to use hammer, use a HAMMER"
      "That's why you keep coming here for therapy."
      "NO but. Spear or hammer, not lantern or torch."

        I’m not sure if they are weak to magic. I got one stuck in a doorway, so I was able to shoot him in the same place from the same distance. I consistently did 78 per wooden arrow, but only 72 per moonlight arrow.

          The ones with skull-like faces can be stunned by hitting their faces, opening them up to a critical attack; the faceless ones can't be stunned like this. All variations can be critical attacked if you stagger them by breaking their guard when their wing-shield is up; this requires one or two hits from a 2-handed greathammer, 1 to 3 hits from a Dark spell like Deep Soul or Affinity (stronger spells like Affinity need much less hits to stagger), or 3 kicks. However, this is pretty hard to do, since attacking their wing-shield usually prompts them to bash you with their wing.

            I think they are immune to poison, when I used poison mist on a gargoyle stuck on the boss door it wouldnt become poisoned.

              If you put some info here, do not *****ing question it with QUESTION MARK. We should get information from here but not questions to answer for you. Confirm the info or just leave it entirely. One example: Ascended Winged Knights in Lothric Castle "Can be lured?". No, they cant and same goes with normal Winged Knights. They can, however be distracted at most with Aural Decoy. I went and find out myself because you want me to get confirmation for you. "Dark Souls III Wiki Fextralife is a strong, independent wiki which needs no confirmations". The words of Limit Breakers describe perfectly this site.
