Useful Info

Death knights are human followers of Yredelemnul. They can cast Agony and reflect damage back to they take. They spawn in late Dungeon, as well as the Crypt - usually with undead like freezing wraiths, phantasmal warriors, and flayed ghosts.

As followers of Yredelemnul, death knights are unaffected by umbra's accuracy penalty. As humans, they are not vulnerable to holy wrath.

Tips & Tricks

  • Agony is basically torment, so it hurts a lot. A potion of lignification gives immunity to this spell. Having high willpower reduces the chance of it affecting you.
  • Watch out for Injury Mirror - it's often a good idea to stop attacking the knight during Injury Mirror. Check for the status icon (or the status text in console) to make sure it ends. Also note that lasting effects, e.g. poison and clouds, count as your damage for their duration.
