Combat Information

• Health - 720 (NG)
• Their irons inflict an additional curse that prevents you from drinking estus and increases your equip load.
• Their stabs are quickly followed by a kind of grab that will knock you on the ground and do a lot of damage to you.
• Weak to Lightning Damage, Thrust and Frost.
• Affected by Bleed.
• Jailers are very easy to knock down. You can either use big weapons, charged attacks or strong spells to easily stun them and kill them.
• Resistant to Magic damage.
• Rolling towards Jailers when they are close baits their thrust attack and positions yourself behind them, giving you the perfect opportunity for a counter attack.
• The lantern's life drain effect slows down once a certain health threshold is reached, and slows down even further as your HP drops closer to 1.
• Rolling with the Carthus Milkring stops the health drain for a duration of invisiblity.
• Black Firebombs and Great Chaos Fire Orb will knock them down, allowing you to quickly close distance on them, or get away.
• Immune to Rapport 
  
• Can be lured.
• When not in aggro, the Jailer can be distracted by throwing an object (throwing knife etc.) A good strategy for easy backstabs.

Trivia

• The Jailer design is based off of the Mind Flayer from Demon's Souls who ring a bell rather than hold a lantern, the Dungeon is also heavily based on The Tower of Latria.
