Who ARE the Carian Knights in Elden Ring?

[@Blueberry_Koi]

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

[@AFailure-eg5up]

They got the drip and the skills, and with the addition of Rellana they're even more 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...

[@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.

[@mr.ashenfire2624]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@just-some-black-person1792]

Carian Knights and Crucible Knights are probably in my top ten of coolest factions

[@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

[@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!

[@CrescentCrusader99]

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

[@toecutter9372]

One of the coolest armor sets in the game

[@evil-mech1028]

Literally the best Elden Ring playstyle! So badass

[@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.

[@christiancabiles8498]

Dunno full plate armor covered in clothing looks really cool to me especially if it's like a long coat or a hooded cloak

[@wayleygg]

These lore shorts are amazing

[@silvergunner101]

Can you do the Cuckoo knights next? I think I get what they are but all the factions in Elden Ring kinda confuse me sometimes lol

[@KingFlameHawk]

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.

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.

[@JAYbePRINCE]

​@@spekter1391 first off, elden ring is not only a PvE game, cuz if it was fromsoft would have never bothered creating a new balance system exclusive to PvP. Second, it doesn't matter the way you defeat a boss, what matters is the message you are sending to others, people don't actually care if you defeat a boss using spells or summons, they get annoyed when other people (who summon or use spells) try to equate their achievements to those of people who defeat the bosses without those things, then other people tend to interpret that those who don't summon are just tilted at other people who don't play like they do, yes summons and spells are in the game by default (so fromsoft wants you to use them) and yes spells and summons make the game 10 times easier (cuz bosses are made to fight you up close and personal not from various light years away), everyone should know that the problem is those unwilling to accept the play style of others and those equating their achievements to the achievements of others.
