·Multi-source verified (60/60)

The Axe Knight is a powerful regular enemy found in the Hauksness Ruins, but it often feels like a mini-boss due to its high stats and aggressive attacks. Encountering multiple Axe Knights can be devastating. Recommended Level: 15-18. Strategy: By this point, you should have the Broad Sword or Flame Sword and at least Half Plate Armor. The Axe Knight deals significant physical damage. Use 'Healmore' if you have it, or rely on 'Heal' and Medicinal Herbs. If you have the 'Stopspell' spell, it can be effective in preventing them from casting any potential spells (though they primarily use physical attacks). Focus fire on one at a time if you encounter multiples. Their high HP means the fight will be a war of attrition.
