Boreal Outrider Knight | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Somehow managed to lure out the lothric one, looted some chests. The thing came back, so i hid beind some boxes, which worked, it didn't notice me

Submit

I just tried to get the one between Undead Settlement and Road of Sacrifices to fall down the elevator shaft but instead he ended up riding the elevator up and getting stuck in the wall on the way, and now even with bonfire resets, he is still stuck there! I can see his blue glow and parts of his sword sticking out of the wall. He is alive and untouchable as far as I can tell so far. I wanted that Irithyll Straight Sword too :(

Submit

Lothric castle version can get jammed up at the bridge where the wyverns breathe fire, and his only way forward is down with the Pus of Man, which will body him in short order.

Submit

So beautiful………

Submit

wouldnt be a hard boss but he literally never stops attacking so its impossible to hit him

Submit

on my second playthrough i ragequit ds3 when faced the one in lothric castle under dragons

Submit

You can cheese the first one by just standing outside the gate where the bonfire is and deleting him from save distance. But I would recomment to learn to parry them there instead for a while. If you learn how to parry them they won't be much of a threat for you anymore since they only get more health and damage but the moveset will be always the same.

Submit

The lothric castle version can take damage from pus of man.
I lured him under the bridge,and they three-shotted him. Easy irithyll raper

Submit

these bastards are harder than vordt and dancer.

DS1: "Hey, you remember those tough bosses from early on in your journey? Here are some slightly weaker versions in packs for you to challenge and sense how far you've come"
DS3: "Hey, you remember that tough boss from like 20 minutes ago? Here it is on ****ing PCP. Have fun"

Submit

i always knew this guy was from astora, and the drop just confirms it

Submit

stronger than gael

Submit

Deep Battle Axe you found on High Wall of Lothric melts this miniboss on Undead Settlements.

Submit

the one enemy that i still dont really understand the moveset of. it feels like they either sit there doing basically nothing and let you win for free or they actually decide to attack you and you get aggressively rollcaught to death

Submit

As someone who only has experience in elden ring I found them as a similar enemy to the bloodhound knight in their speed and attacks

Submit

The first one was truly easy, the second one challenging but the last one omfg, he was worse than the knight boss to acess the area, the books trying to kill you didn't help as well.

Submit

When I first met one of these I thought I'd had an fps drop, but no, that's just how fast they rush you.

Submit

Struggling with the one in lothric castle? Lure him to the place wgere two pus of men are under the bridge,drop down and agro the pus of man to transform,then go in doorway and watch pus melts him

Submit

I couldn't figure out why the first jerk was so easy and the other 2 have been such pains. Then I remembered that I cheesed the first fight by getting it in the doorway to the Road of Sacrifices. I took out the Lothric Castle one after I cleared the wyverns and had the easy run from the bonfire to it. The one in the Grand Archives can absolutely eff off though. The run to him is annoying because of the stupid stunlocking thralls. Then I have to remember to have a wax bath if I don't to also get cursed while fighting a fast af piece of crap dealing frost damage. I hate that they stuck him in the way of a shortcut too.

Submit

recovers from previous attack and flies across the room before you can raise an estus to your lips even if you buffer the heal immediately after your roll.
tracks you super hard even when he is on his toes at a 60 degree angle from the floor winding up for like 2 seconds for an attack (try rotating your body while doing this!) even though he can also just swing his sword ultra fast so there's no reason for him to be winding up that long other than to be arbitrarily harder to anticipate
clips through literally everything
great enemy.

most recent encounter i finally killed him because he clipped INTO the wall while i was fighting him on the stairs in lothric castle and he couldn't move anymore.

Submit

i beat the game twice, once on SL60 with +7 weapons. now i've gotten all the way up to twin princes on a SL30 character with +3 weapons. i've beaten every boss including all the DLC bosses at least once. i still have no idea how to fight these *******s though.

Submit

My FPS! NOOOOOO!!!

Submit

thank god I thought I was the only who hates these lil rats

Submit

You can kill them quite easily with quickstep

Submit

OMG why are they so strong and fast?

Submit

Someone probably answered this before, but why aren’t these guys weak to fire?

Submit

****ing despise these things

Submit

cool enemy, still not over being hit through solid objects tho

Submit

pontiff borrowed their services from Malekith in limegrave

Submit

I ran away like a coward, back up the elevator and the mf leaped down into the elevator pit.

Submit

i have a deep dark sword+8 i wonder if how many hits it will take for lothrics castle

Submit

I wasn't prepared for this. I go down a lift and get insta-gibbed by weird armored ice dog that flies across the room at mach 5 and attacks you relentlessly like a rabid pitbull on crack

Submit

Balls

Submit

you can have sex with them

Submit

You can parry these dudes

Submit

If you lure him to the lift then roll over then button, making the lift go up without either of you. He will fall down the shaft and die. You still get the sword drop.

Submit

i can beat him easily without cheese with just roll/strafe and attack he is basically the "tutorial" for twin princess.
but doesnt mean this is a good enemy, this dude just badly designed speed and attack recovery, wise most new player will get clapped hard.
this dude is more of bb or sekiro mob his speed are just too fast for ds3

Submit

fair and balanced

Submit

Cheese them with pestilent mist and hidden body. Works every time.

Submit

Found an easy way to cheese the one in Lothric Castle. Agro him, take him to the upper floor. From there, exit to the courtyard with the dragons (obviously you must have dealt with them first) and make him focus you with the fence (along the steps) between the two of you. He will be stuck there attacking you constantly, but wont be able to hit you. Use any ranged stuff to kill it. He even sometimes lines up his head enough for a headshot, perfect for arrows.

Submit

Bad design

Submit

The second outrider. I dont like it. All the time i got fps drops downstairs on the console. Makes the battle a little bit unfair.

Submit

You can cheese the one in undead settlement. I got the knight to go up the elevator and the ai just stopped working. Firebombs to finish the job

Submit

They make orgy sounds

Submit

they should add more to the outrider knights they are cool and two bosses are outriders so wonder if there are any other knights who turned into a boss

Submit

r1 spamming long sword noob knights

Submit

Very balanced enemy that totally does not break the speed at which the game is played. Very fun to fight, 10/10 FS

Submit

Submit

people still complain about these guys? they exist to teach you to stop rolling backwards on every attack

Submit

The only reason Pontiff hides in his room because he created these atrocities and realised he dun goofed big time

Submit

Can you Rapport these hoes? The one in the Grand Archives is such a biaaatch

Submit

Fromsoft putting these s.o.bs in the starting areas: "We do a lil trollin"

Submit

It's telling how bullshit an enemy is that most of the comments are just different ways to cheese it.

Submit

The one at Lothric castle can be cheeses by killing it through a wall. When crossing the bridge to the wyverns, drop down to the left on the wyvern side of the bridge. That wall there is the outside of the room the BOK is in. Hit the wall with (assuming) a long weapon, and you’ll get hits on him. He won’t go far as is drawn to the wall hits. I was using 2-handed R1 attacks with either the Hollowslayer Greatsword or Claymore (forget which I was using at the time). I discovered this on my first NG play through as I was testing walls for illusions.

Submit

So I found a way to cheese the lothric one. Basically kill all enemies besides the hollow that turns into the pus of man. Then kite/lure it into the pit. If you run fast enough, it will get stuck, then mage/pyro/shoot it to death. With any luck the manpus will aggro it and make your work even easier. Reward the manpus by putting it out of its misery.

Submit

My third playthrough and I killed the second one in less than 10 seconds using Black Fire Orb on my Pyro build. Just chilling on the other side of the staircase. LOL

Submit

The one in Drangleic Castle was the worst to fight imo

Submit

constantly strafing right helps a lot

Submit

cool lore cool design hate to fight them

Submit

*Jumps like a spastic across space and time to close in on you* hehe infinite stamina goes SLAMSLAMSLAMSLAMSLAM

Submit

FUK THİS ENİMİE İ DİE TO THİS PİECE OF AHİT MORE THAN ALL BOSES ON MY SECOND PLAYRHOURG (MOST DİES WAS ON LAST BOSS AND İT 7 ) İ DİE TO THİS GUY 24 TİMES

Submit

Bruh, dude just roll to attacks and beat that outriders to death I am really surprised to see people struggle and even die to them.

Submit

In the words of Dunkey,
"Thank you Dark Souls"

Submit

The archives one can be cheesed if you lure him out to where a dead end stairway is (where the little guy was throwing firebombs) and he won’t follow u up the stairs. I used sorcery to finish him but spose u could use black firebombs or what have you

Submit

the dancer and vordts children's?

Submit

Lothric castle, lure this turd up the stairs and into the dragon fire area. Watch him twitch and burn.

Submit

Getting the rapier and armor solo at low level can be such a pain, I play on base ps4 and found these enemies seem to cause the game fo drop fps occasionally its like fighting a laggy player in pvp. I don’t understand why they made this enemy quite so powerful. It can practically teleport, it has high poise, and is so fast that its near impossible to stagger as it requires slow big weapons.

Submit

Take a dark Lothric straight sword and you can deal with them very quickly.

Submit

Outrider knight? Hard?? I just ran past him to the road of sacrifices bonfire and pelted him to death with arrows!

Submit

this enemy is harder than 90% of bosses in the game

Submit

Outrider Knight more like Outwright murder my ass 30 times

Submit

the outrider knight is weak to dark put that up

Submit

:0

Submit

B team did a great job. If you stay at their rear they can't touch you. Also dark hand deals some serious damage.

Submit

For those having trouble with the knight in Undead Settlement: can be cheesed. Get him to slowly come after you, and when he’s right by the door, snipe him outside. He’s rather reluctant to go through

Submit

the real boss of the undead settelment

Submit

HEY WANNA SEE HOW I JUMP 1km TO YOUR POSITION?

Submit

I know it's a stretch, but these remind me a lot of Venom. The muscular build, the feral movements, the ferocious fighting style... even the design on the "face" reminds me of Venom's visage.

Submit

harder to deal with than 50% of the bosses

Submit

For the one before the road of sacrifices life him to the elevator and get on the elevator he should continue to attack and kill himself. For the one in Lothric leave one puss man alive and lure to the pus man.

Submit

black fire orb seems to really mess these boys up

Submit

Easy to kill at Lorith Castle with the following:

Buy 30 Firebombs. Run down then back up to lure him up slowly.
Stand on other side of stairs, throw firebombs, when he gets close, jump down to where you came from.
Rince - Repeat.

It's cheesy but hey, so is he.

Submit

I just guided him to the near dragons fire. Poor frosty dude, easy :D

Submit

Most bullshit enemy there is. Next to snakemen. Just trashes around being op. I learned nothing.

Submit

The one at Lothric Castle, I had to cheese him.

First I clear up the vicinity of Dragon Barracks bonfire, kill every enemy there and the lone enemy in the room above the Outrider chamber. I want a clear path to lure him out to the castle gate bridge and drop him into the ditch below.

Once that is done, it's time to lure him out with an arrow to the head. Hide at the bottom of the stair and shoot one arrow. Lead him to the bridge. Get yourself to the end of the bridge and turn either right or left. He will lurch at you while he is in the center of the bridge and with luck, he'll drop himself into the ditch.

Turn him into an arrow porcupine.

Submit

pop iron flesh, slap him a few times and chug some estus in between. doctors HATE her for this one weird trick!

Submit

Is it just me or is this guy harder than any boss in the game?

Submit

Another DS2 stinky B team concept. Dhorys gnaw; dont work. Fire; dont; work. Lightning; dont work... Just try hard and pray. Its ****ty as hell. Please myazaki, fire B team, they are trash.

Submit

Much as how the Souls of Cinder is the Culmination of Every Lord of Cinder, This F*ck is the Culmination of Every R1 Spammer

Submit

Easiest mob to kill in game. I'm an outrider hunter and let me tell ya. Get a great sword, buff it with lightning. And put a summon sign where an outrider is. You'll be a hero in no time.

Submit

The first one can be dropped down the elevator shaft, if you get sick of dying to him. Personally I found that hilarious.

Submit

Thought for the longest time that he was weak to fire, not dark. Switching to Black Fire Orb made the fight incredibly easy.

Submit

first timer play souls-game, i finished sekiro on ng7+
i felt like this guy would be fit more there instead of ds3, it has close to no downtime of his attack, ofc dark buff, blocking, and rolling can do the job, but there just somthing from with this guy speed

Submit

Whoever added these guys to the game is a complete idiot. Ive been playing this game since launch and these are the only enemies that end up killing me. Not because they are hard, but because they are unfair and dont belong in dark souls 3. I see what they did with them trying to make a hard enemy like the titanite demon from dark souls 1, but these guys are just bs. Extremely fast and unpredictable attacks, pretty high damage, roll catches, these guys are death machines. sometimes its even impossible to roll the second attack to the leaping attack because its so fast. Dark souls is about learning your enemies attack patterns and reacting to their attacks. These guys completely negate that feature and its honestly stupid. TL;DR outrider knight big stupid

Submit

what a diddly darn hardly barn hippity hoppity skippity boppity boop boppin hard hottin poop sniffin hot wheels hotdog this bruh is

Submit

These damn things are harder than half of the bosses in the game

Submit

These guys are the bane of my existence.

Submit

poggers

Submit

A decent tactic for these is to kill them

Submit

For first one, I ran past it, pulled out a bow and cheesed it by standing next to bonfire. It does not come out.
