Silver Knight Enemy Description
"Guards of Anor Londo and the royals of old. It is said that even after the family's passing, the Silver Knights continued to watch over their manor, and the Ruined Cathedral."
- There are 3 variants: Sword & Shield, Spear & Shield and Greatbow.
- Greatbow archers will switch to a sword & shield when within close range.
- They can be found in Anor Londo and Irithyll of the Boreal Valley just before reaching Anor Londo.
Silver Knight Drops
- 2 Titanite Shards or 1 Large Titanite Shard (guaranteed)
- Silver Knight set
- Silver Knight Shield
- Proof of a Concord Kept (rare)
Silver Knight Combat Information
- It is best to sprint and roll to avoid the arrows from their Greatbows, or take cover behind the environment.
- Blocking is not advised against their Greatbow as you'll be pushed back and likely fall down.
- A good idea to deal with them is to also use a Greatbow of your own to harrass them from a far distance.
- Attacks deal Thrust Damage, Standard Damage and Lightning Damage.
- Weak to Dark Damage, Frostbite and Thrust Damage.
- Resistant to Standard Damage, Slash Damage, Strike Damage, Fire Damage, Lightning Damage, Poison/Toxic and Bleed.
- Parryable: Yes. Parrying them is effective when they swing horizontally.
- There is a powerful red-eyed version in Anor Londo to the right of the other two Silver Knights at the top of the stairs.
- Can't be lured.
- Can't be Rapported.
- Spear Silver Knights can't hit you if you're using the Stretch Out, Curl Up or the Prostration gesture.

Literally dollar store Black Knights. Dodge past their attacks and shove your weapon up their bum. Alternatively, you can just parry them into next year.
Just watch out for their attacks when they buff their weapon with lightning, that stuff hurts.

If I could just cut the eats off these silver knights I’ve killed we’d all meet the covenant requirements.

you can also get a hidden blessing! I got mine from a knight in the manor, the one staring at the Gwynevere painting
you can buy rusted coins from the shrine handmaid if you offer her old womans ashes to increase item discovery. Also in my case i get around 6000 souls per kill with soul boosting items (symbol of avarice, shield of want and serpent ring.) thats around 2 or 3 gold coins every knight. Best of luck in getting proof of concords

I have a theory: these are not real silver knights, but silver knight armors filled with Aldrich sludge. First of all their corpses do not disappear (like the black knights) but remain after death. Second: their blood is black, it leaves black stains on the floor when you attack them. Maybe it would explain why they defend Anor Londo even though it has been overrun by the Deep. Because Aldrich's flesh posessed them, kinda like Plaga posessed armor from Resident Evil 4. This is just a theory, so I might be wrong.

OMG I HATE THESE GUY'S FOR ONE REASON! THERE FU**ING LOW COVENANT ITEM DROP!?!?!
THE HOURS OF FARMING THESE GUY'S WAS HORRIBLE! EVEN WITH MAX ITEM DISCOVERY IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET ENOUGH FOR THE STUPID COVENANT!?!?
the knights them selfs are not that bad of an enemy, and not too annoying to deal with. BUT EVERYTIME I SEE THESE GUY'S I AM REMINDED OF THESE FU**ING HOURS OF ATTEMPTS, TO GET THE COVENANT ITEM'S TO 30 FROM THEM.
I HAVE PTSD NOW FROM HOW MANY TIMES I KILLED THESE KNIGHTS WITHOUT GETTING THE COVENANT ITEM FROM THEM!!?!?!?!?

10 ATT and 10 VIT on my hardcore farming build was a mistake... i can deal with the carthus skeletons, but RIP me when it's on to these guys and the deacons lol
I’ve trained with these guys. I could kill one with only backstabs

For whatever reason i find the spear variant to be harder than ornstein in DS1

Load your weapon with lighting and they Will take much more damage. Never tried spellcasting on them, so I don't know about that, but they are definitely not resistant to lightning buffed weapons. My sword cuts em like butter when I buff it.

I sure has some fun in the catacombs/tomb of giants with that silver knight spear...it's such a shame they didn't include it on ds3...to be able to see it in action, it's so close to grasp, but will forever be out of hand's reach...

Staggered by three 1H R1 attacks of a straightsword, this only took two when the weapon was two-handed. Be warned that they may also have hyper-armor.

This game has been out for a while so it's probably common knowledge, but has any one else noticed the odd glitch regarding the spear wielding silver knight at the Anor Londo bonfire, on the stairs? When the spear knight comes down the steps, and begins his long range spear charge animation, if you angle your camera down so you aren't looking at him, his spear charge won't come straight to you down the steps. Rather, the game will make his charge go more horizontal, over your head, as if he were standing on a flat surface and not an angled surface. Depending on how far up the steps he was when he initially charged, he can take a bit of fall damage upon landing. It's pretty easy to get behind him after he lands too, since he's stunned after falling. I wonder why From never fixed this...

Seen people discussing why these Silver Knights are hostile to use and not the Deacons or going after Aldrich.
Judging from the Red-eyed Silver Knight and the noises they make when they die and also their black blood. Sadly, I think these guys got corrupted by Aldrich or the Deacons or something...it makes sense as the last force of Anor Londo to defend it from EVERY kind of outsider.
They either got corrupted or FromSoft got lazy. I'm betting on the latter because usually there would be a cryptic message hinting this but there's none.
Also notice how the ones in Irithyll before Pontiff are guarding the Manor and disappear when they die as the real Silver Knights did in DS1 (while the other ones after Sulyvahn don't disappear) perhaps these Silver Knights are the non corrupted ones and are there to fight off Sulyvahn and his forces (noticed how there's dogs on patrol and no Pontiff Knights)
That's my theory.

I don't have any problem with difficult or challenging enemies, but I'm sorry, I have to call bull*****on these guys. I roll so I'm literally behind the one with the long pike on the staicase at Anor Londo but STILL get hit by his charge AND lose more than half of my HP. I dodge the one with the sword and end up positioned so my shoulder is almost touching him and the 12 foot arc of my curved greatsword misses him entirely. What a load of crap. The further I get in this game the more challenging and difficult turn to cheap and unfair.
