Golden and Silver Knights



Golden and Silver Knights are both Enemies in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

On a long forgotten mission or possesed to perform a greater deed, these knights never leave until the job is done. This duo of knights work flawlessly together; one specializes in brutal physical strikes while the other can swiftly cast devastaing spells. Keeping focus on one certainly means death by the other.

The one clad in gold armor is a Fighter while the one in silver is a Mystic Knight; as Fighters can only carry small shields and Mystic Knights can only carry magick shields. As such both have well rounded defense and can endure multiple hits.
