Harald Legion Knights & Purging Monuments

Learn how to effectively counter the imposing Harald Legion Knights and their devastating attacks in Dark Souls III: The Ringed City. Understand their weakness.

As you progress through The Ringed City, you will frequently encounter the imposing Harald Legion Knights. These large, hulking enemies are slow but incredibly powerful, capable of dealing massive damage with their wide sweeps and ground slams. They are often found in groups or in areas where their size can be used to your advantage.

Alongside these knights, you will also encounter Purging Monuments. These are large, stone structures that, when activated, can cleanse certain status effects, most notably Curse. In some instances, activating a Purging Monument might also have other effects on the environment or enemies. It's important to identify these monuments and understand their purpose, especially when dealing with enemies that inflict Curse or when you find yourself afflicted by it. The combination of Harald Legion Knights and environmental hazards like poison or Curses makes these sections of the DLC particularly challenging.

Harald Legion Knights & Purging Monuments:

  • Harald Legion Knights: Slow but powerful, with wide-reaching attacks. Dodge their swings and attack their flanks or rear.
  • Purging Monuments: These can cleanse Curse. Locate and utilize them when needed.
  • Environmental Hazards: Be aware of poison and other dangers in areas with these knights.
  • Strategic Engagement: Try to fight them one-on-one if possible, or lure them into more manageable areas.

Mastering the fight against the Harald Legion Knights and understanding the utility of Purging Monuments are key to surviving the DLC.
