Who ARE the Carian Knights in Elden Ring?

[@Blueberry_Koi]

My favourite faction in the game, carian knights are so fricking cool

[@ALUCARDTWILLIGHT]

Best Knights rellana design is peak

[@captainfluffy7232]

Carian Knights are my second favorite personally. I really like the Crucible Knights but since the crucible’s so exclusive I’d love to be Carian too.

[@hughmann9568]

​@captainfluffy7232 the crucible is the least exclusive lol its literally nature.

[@SxfetyPin]

@@hughmann9568 There were only sixteen Crucible Knights... I think anyone with common sense would say that's rather exclusive... This person clearly stated Crucible KNIGHTS... not the Crucible in general...

[@Naxatthedoor]

@@SxfetyPinthere may have only been 16 knights but they’re not the only beings with the aspect of the crucible…the hippos, misbegotten, horned warriors, omens, etc could all be considered as part of the crucible, other than rellana and the two carian knights from the dlc only a handful of characters are associated with the carian royal family.

[@arcana_vessel]

I don't become a carian knight to simp for ranni, I become a carian knight for the epic spell-blade combat

[@YarnhamBrainsucker]

Spell blade>casting spells

[@Mr.Spade1]

Based 🙏

[@TheAuspiciousGoldmask]

Ranni actually let her whole family traditions die in search for the dark path of the empyrean, the only one she maintained was the moonlight greatsword, if there is any Elden Ring 2, i hope someone continues the Carian royal family.

Kinda wish they would have gotten the crucible knight treatment and been scattered around raya lucaria and liurnia of the lakes as mini bosses. Awesome design

[@YarnhamBrainsucker]

Exactly my thoughts, lorretta is cool but I would’ve really liked to see like a carian captain. Just a super badass guy like veteran commanders as a boss fight, that would have been so dope

[@JAYbePRINCE]

The carian knight sword should also serve as a catalyst for sorcery, and since it has a blocking r2 it should be able to cast sorcery when blocking with it (while two-handed obviously).

[@noahhkun5097]

I mean they got three red named enemies and a remembrance boss, not awful

[@lucaswilliams2292]

@@JAYbePRINCEat least the Sword of Night and Flame can cast spells, and it’s a proto-Carian sword. Also its flame swipe is fantastic at clearing out Pathetic Sort.

[@JAYbePRINCE]

@@lucaswilliams2292 huh???????? Are we playing the same game? Since when is SoNaF able to cast sorcery?

[@Paradox484]

Honor their knights with magical objects, exclusive spells, and mad drip? Let trolls join their military forces and gave them knightly status instead of using them as staked carriage slaves? If I had to pick a faction to side with, these folks are it.

[@BowForGlory]

Mad drip is subjective. Their armor set is whack.

[@Psyker_Unredactus]

They were definitely a more ethical faction. They believed in learning and discovery.

Yes.

[@samuelcaceres5355]

These dudes can parry, not like the tree knights who just attack, that what I love about them(even tho I suck at parry)

[@bowsreal7079]

The lore for them is epic,which is why it sucks so badly that fighting them in game is a cake walk,wish they were full on bosses

Bro they have undeniable drip, fascinating lore, awesome combat skills, and were the few and the elite? These guys have everything!

[@LyraniaLothar]

I never understood why the Carian Knight Sword is not a catalyst. It has glint stones in it!

[@RogueStormCB13]

Balance

[@olu550]

​@@RogueStormCB13It's been done before and wasn't particularly broken. Dark Souls 2 had weapons and even shields that could double as casting tools

[@thecommentguy9380]

Game design at the time didnt want that i think, because there's also a sword that by description should allow you to cast soceries with it, but didnt actually do that. But now the DLC now actually have a sword that lets you cast soceries with heavy attacks

[@Jadepulse-fx9jj]

I never had an ouncd of regret using the dlc sorcery sword in my first playthrough, wearing rellana's armor, and a carian sovereignty claymore as an offhand is chef's kiss I rarely gave the dlc a chance to piss me off with this build, it's so much fun

[@derrickrose4233]

I always love how special these soldiers are same with the cruciable knights it makes you appreciate them even more in the game

[@aoiminase]

Because of their uniqueness than the others?

[@derrickrose4233]

@@aoiminase Yeah

[@ethanmitchell7479]

The thing that’s also INCREDIBLY BADASS is that the Cuckoo soldiers where mercenaries that freelanced for the Lucarian academy AND the royal family literally the Academy told them once the shattering happened they put the seals on the gates and went “Defend us and we will keep rewarding you but we don’t care who else you kill or do” And they went to attack the Carrion Royal manor. The Manor had so few men the cuckoo outmatched them I can’t remember but A LOT I mean look at all the debris in the field yet each Knight they had were loyal to the bone and the most seasoned warrior-spellblades ever and the WIPED THE FLOOR WITH THE CUCKOO. So yeah there probably one of my favorite knights or faction? In the game these and the Golden dragon knight guys in Leyndall and maybe the banished knights all just badass in lore and with cool armor!

[@alostsheep8450]

Basically the Jedi of Elden Ring.

[@Battleguild]

We got a remake of the Troll Knight sword, shame that the Carian Sorcery Sword wasn't a remake of the Carian Knight Sword with casting Carian Sorcery as the Ash of War.

[@Inkoai]

took their drip too 😔

[@bobxie8634]

I went through an entire playthrough dressed as a carian knight. Saluted before every fight and saluted after every fight. My weapons were the carian sword and queen ranala's staff + the shield. If the Queen had an ending, I would have sided with her over that genocidal blue doll.

[@toecutter9372]

One of the coolest armor sets in the game

[@maaliksmith107]

The fact that less than 20 knights and a couple trolls fought Radagon's entire army to a stand still we never not be the most based thing to me.

[@zaneriva5903]

Ever since I got to the Academy I changed my character to a Carian Knight. Coolest faction in the game, and I love the playstyle of Sorceries and one of many swords. Feels so balanced and powerful. Hope Fromsoft fixes the new Sword/Catalyst so it actually scales with spellcasting, I have a setup I mind just for it.

[@CrescentCrusader99]

I wish they were like Crucible Knights, big powerful knights scattered across the continent.

[@ayro0638]

If you play mage, you'll be forced to be a carian knight one way or another lol

Top tier drip with High Tier magical abilities and combat prowess. These dudes are the equivalent of a super soldier squad, although their numbers are low they make it for it by being ridiculously skilled.

[@ALUCARDTWILLIGHT]

Its carian or no faction for me. Tho if were gonna be honest they have alot of family drama 😅 but this is elden ring family drama is pretty much the name of the game

The short version is that they they are private mercenaries that work for, not serve this is important, the academy against the Carians. In the present the academy has mostly lost control of them and now they mostly spend their time pillaging the country side.

​@@KingFlameHawk the cuckoos also hate the carian knights because they always get their asses handed to them

[@Sharkenite]

They not be as gigantic as the Crucible Knights, but they are still badass. I had more trouble fighting that Carian Knight in the Academy than any Crucible Knight thus far. I'm used to parrying the Crucible Knights easily, but am not used to being parried myself. I let my guard, and underestimated these knights probably because of their small size compared to bigger enemies that I have taken down, figured this would be a breeze. I got parried by one of these bastards and almost got killed because of it. What's crazy is I was 2-Handing the Colossal *Greatsword* and did the Giant Hunt Ash of War and STILL got parried like WTF man, these guys are OP as hell LMFAO!!!

[@Itsjustyourimagination]

Still a crime that we didn't get a weapon that could cast spells in the DLC

[@jessewilliams6459]

I'm just thinking out loud after hearing "tear drop shields." I wonder how many people in history have died because leaders wanted their armies outfitted with equipment that looked good without testing the function.

[@1stCallipostle]

Very few. Often you were responsible for providing your own weapon, or failing that, you'd get a hand me down that clearly worked for the last guy who had it. Aesthetics definitely played into weapons design, but generally if something sucked nards it wouldn't be used.

[@orishina8169]

@@1stCallipostle I kinda have to say it's survivor bias. I think many ppl/armies/individuals through history died or fell out of power because of these reasons, and that's the reason we don't hear about them : they failed and fell into oblivion. Take Asincourt for example (btw, I'm french, so my bias should be toward the frenchs). Clad armored knights, beautiful and intimidating, beaten by longbowmen and peasants using polearms. Knight armors and weapons were mastercrafts, but their cost/effectivness ratio was shit, and the day a properly organized army came to power, chivalry died. In Asincourt, it was the dam British.

Man I've been playing Elden Ring since it came out. I have 233.1 hours in the game on a single character. I have played sporadically, taking breaks when I get stuck on a boss. I sometimes wonder if I should start over. I'm currently in the Siofra Aqueduct, stuck on the double boss fight. I know I should leave and level up, and then come back - but yeah, I'm hung up on defeating them. Oh, and I'm fully decked in the Carian Knight armor, wielding a Banished Knight's Greatsword +10, with bloodslash on it.

You mean the gargoyle duo? Cuz if you do keep in mind that bleed is not a good strategy against them, so my recommendation would be to try killing the first one before the second spawns, and keep poison boluses just in case they use their invisible poison breath.
