It is often easier to run them off a ledge or bridge than to fight them, especially at lower levels.
The knights are also most vulnerable right after having completed a combo attack, allowing you to sneak up behind them and perform a Backstab. WATCH OUT for the shield bashes as they can take away A LOT of your stamina and are often followed by a heavy attack or combo. Every attack except for the Shield Bash can be parried. The attacks are often predictable so hitting the Parry button as soon as you see their hands move and then following up with a Riposte is a very effective and satisfying way of defeating these Knights. The best way to deal with them is through Backstabs and Parries as their recover post-attack is relatively slow, making them especially susceptible to such attacks.

Few even traveled with Gwyn to the Kiln of the First Flame, who were then burnt to ashes when he linked the First Flame, leaving behind just their spirits that roam the spectral staircase in between the Kiln and the Lordvessel. It is said that these knights were burnt black in their fight with Chaos Demons, and this caused them to have high Fire resistance. The once proud Silver Knights of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder now roam around Lordan wielding powerful weapons, the Black Knight Shield and the Black Knight Set. Mini Bosses are hostile creatures that do not respawn after being killed. The Black Knights are Mini Bosses in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered.
