Banished Knight is a Humanoid Enemy in Elden Ring. The Banished Knights seek to serve any who give them purpose. They are tall, fully armoured, and are well-trained in combat, mastering the art of wielding different weaponry.
The spirits of two particular knights, Oleg and Engvall can be summoned for aid in battle using the Banished Knight Oleg and Banished Knight Engvall Ashes respectively.
Many knights were sent to the fringes, where they were forced to start anew with only despair for company.
These fierce warriors were each and all accomplished. Perhaps that is why, despite their territorial losses, they were still named knights.
Elden Ring Banished Knight Locations
Where to Find Banished Knights:
- Many knights can be found in Stormveil Castle wielding either a halberd or a greatsword and shield. All of them except two have the altered helm (without the red hood).
- One can be found in a dark room, located at the top floor of the wine cellar in Stormveil Castle. You must use the side entrance that Gatekeeper Gostoc suggests in order to reach said room.
- A knight with a halberd patrols the room down the stairs from the Rampart Tower Site of Grace.
- A few can be found on top of the buildings in the center of Stormveil Castle.
- Video Location
- Two found with the unaltered helm (with a red hood) wielding a greatsword and shield, near the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid. One spawns inside near the grace and patrols around the outside of the cathedral. Another stands near the cliffs to the west.
- Spectral variants of Banished Knights appear in Castle Sol. In addition to the halberd and greatsword/shield-wielding knights, a dual greatsword variant can be found here. Like most spectral enemies, these knights can teleport and break your target lock.
- Immediately before Church of the Eclipse grace in Castle Sol will be a Banished Knight with a Greatsword + Shield, easily farmable as he can be backstabbed from when you leave the grace. (2824 HP)
- Several knights can be found in Crumbling Farum Azula, mostly patrolling the Dragon Temple area. Among these, a few will be the dual greatsword variant. They do not have the wind abilities, but they instead possess a flaming breath spell.

Elden Ring Banished Knight Attacks/Moves
Sword and Shield
- Overhead Swing/Descending Swing - The Banish Knight will raise their sword hand up and it will come down on on its target. Parryable
- Side Swing - The Banished Knight will turn their sword hand to its side and swing from one side to another on its target. Parryable
- Stabbing attack - The Banished Knight will pull back their sword hand and raise their shield than higher than their normal stance
- Double-Handed Attack - Much more fasster than most of their attack set. They will raise their sword both hands above their head. Their shield will be on their backs. It will hang for a few moments. Parryable by parrying when their sword is raised above and before it coming done.
- Shield Bash - Straight forward usage of the shield to move forward as they push it towards you. They will pull it back before the push. This is the best time to block it.
- Charge Attack - They will stomp, wind will build up around their body and they will leap forwards towards you. They will do this when there is a some distance between you and them. The leap is quite large so this gives the banished knight the ability to cover much ground to hit you.
- Flame Attack - The Banished Knight will raise the sword hand and flame will come out of their mouth. When they raise their sword hand to their face while you have some distance between you is usually the time they perform the flame attack
Glowing Dual Greatsword Wielder
- Dodging/Teleporting - The Dual Greatsword Banished Knight has a high levels of mobility as rather than walking they will disappear and then reappear in a new location. This seems to be their main method of moving around and they will flicker their location constantly up until their attacks.
- Swing combos - The banished knight will strike with one sword and then another. There is some variation as the knight will sometimes revert to swinging one of their swords again going with a flurry of their single sword attacks or it will bring both swords together to one attack and end this attack pattern. This seems to be its most common attack and will use it when the target is in close range.
- Charged Attack - If there is some distance between the target and the Banished Knight, they might take a kneel. Elemental winds will surround that knight and then they would leap towards their targets where the winds will flow as they unleash a flurry of attacks. They would use this if the target and the knight has some mid to far range distance from each other. The Knight will be vulnerable for a short while when they charge up to perform this attack but before the leap.
- Heal - When damaged, the Knight will kneel down and the faith ability will be deployed to heal themselves and regain some health.
- Thrust Attack - A simple thrust attack with two swords. They will perform this attack when their target is in medium to long range away from them.
Elden Ring Banished Knight Notes & Tips
- Due to their weakness to Lightning, Lightning-related items like Lightning Spear or Bolt of Gransax are recommended to eliminate them.
- Charging attack is the best opportunity for attack, as recovery after it gives more that enough time to perform backstab,
- Farming Tips:
- Banished Knight's Halberd and Banished Knight Set (with altered helm and altered chest armor)
- The knight downstairs from the Rampart Tower grace in Stormveil Castle can be easily farmed. However, a +8 halberd also drops from Edgar, either by following his questline until his invasion at Revenger's Shack, or by killing him in earlier encounters.
- Banished Knight's Greatsword, Banished Knight's Shield, and Banished Knight Set (with unaltered helm and altered chest armor)
- The knight at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid is the easiest to farm. After resting at or traveling to the grace, go north to the doorway of the cathedral. The knight should have just started patrolling and can be backstabbed.
- The knight past the birds at the Rampart Tower grace is also a great early game area to farm the Greatsword, yet a bit harder to farm than in Caelid.
- Stormveil Castle farming route:
- Travel to "Rampart Tower" grace point in Stormveil Castle.
- Pop a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot or a Silver Horn Tender if you have one.
- Head into the rampart tower and downstairs to your first Banished Knight (halberd). Defeat him by sneaking up or parrying or backstab fishing.
- Head back up to the hallway by the grace point.
- Take the lift directly across the hall from the entrance to the room with the point. Send it back up before you hop off.
- Sprint through the room where the Grafted Scion was.
- Turn right and kill the three commoners and the sword Exile Soldier.
- Head up the stairs and kill the spear Exile Soldier.
- Head into the next room and kill the second Banished Knight (halberd). You should be able to sneak approach and backstab pretty easily.
- Leave out that room opposite the way you came in. Follow the path directly across the next room, through the breezeway, then veer left and straight ahead through another interior room. Make a right here and outside you'll see a Flame Spear guy in the distance. Approach and kill him.
- This should aggro the 3rd Banished Knight (greatsword and shield). I usually shield and sidestep for a Backstab on this one. Or use a heavy spell to stagger.
- Fast travel back to "Rampart Tower" and repeat.
- Banished Knight's Greatsword, Banished Knight Set (with altered helm and unaltered chest armor)
- The red-eyed spectral Banished Knight on the castle wall of Castle Sol can be baited into teleporting onto a higher platform (the roof of a room), after which the player can jump or roll to the walkway atop the wall that the Banished Knight was standing on just before.
- Then the Banished Knight will slowly walk towards the player, at which point it will fall to its death, hopefully leaving the extremely rare unaltered Banished Knight Armor on the ground. The player can walk off the edge of the end of the walkway to safely fall to ground level, then make their way back to the loot, which will be in the corner, behind a tombstone.
- Quicker, but risker, method can be done from Castle Sol Rooftop (unlocked after beating boss of the arena). From the boss fight arena, player can make Banished Knight teleport with an arrow.
- Alternatively, from Church of the Eclipse site of grace go for ladder on the right of Banished Knight at the front of the Church. Then turn left, go straight and go left. Eliminate wolfs first and then Banished Knight.
- Banished Knight's Halberd and Banished Knight Set (with altered helm and altered chest armor)
Elden Ring Banished Knight Drops
Note that there are multiple variants of Banished Knights and they will only ever drop gear they are wearing on their model, a halberd wielding Banished Knight will never drop a greatsword or shield and vice versa, the unaltered helmet and chest piece can only be gotten from the variants wearing them and there is no variant that wears both.

Duel Greatsword Banished Knight - Combat Screenshot
AnonymousOne of the great crimes this game commits is not letting players acquire the twin greatswords the red-eyed maniac in Castle Sol drops. Aside from the typical BK distinct two-handed greatsword combos he utilises a lengthy, demented combination sequence of storm skills imbued with frost as something of a heavy-duty unique skill, all of which would translate into a powerful somber paired weapon drop that would be challenging to acquire from him yet worth it for that point of the game.
Oh, and before anyone points out he's simply dual-wielding Banished Knight's Greatswords...we all know that, but the Bonny Butchering Knife is just a somber Butchering Knife with a unique skill. It could've been done.

I just started up a banished knight playthrough. Started with the hero class and spawned in all the BK gear and the dragon communion seal since that's what they seem to use to cast their fire attack. There's no fire breath incantation like the one they use, but I gave myself the basic fire breath dragon attack, which is good enough for me since they seem to have some connection to the dragon communion churches anyway. I also had to give myself some extra levels just to meet the requirements to use their basic kit. It's a really strong build, but the challenge comes from not being able to rely on dodging since I'm stuck above 70% equip load. But anyway it's fun, and I put all the body thickness sliders all the way up so now i'm the shortest but widest banished knight in all the lands between.

If you're doing a mage run, like spells only, these guys are literally impossible. The amount of damage they do, the weird delay in their hits, their weapon can be inside you and not actually hurting you because for some fucked up reason the devs added the hitbox late, like as soon as the weapon hits the ground late. And then the BoostRootMotion abuse making it impossible to keep away meaning you have to Roll Into them but not when they do their Get Off Me spin attack cuz that lasts longer than your roll frames. Just great design fromsoft, great fucking design.

The amount of aura these chads have is unreal. We may be the protagonist, but each and every one of these are the main characters in their own story.
Also, it's really funny when you're getting chomped on by a slightly unruly dog and then Engvall/Oleg just charges OUT OF NOWHERE with FULL racial intent just pancake them.

Heavy Jumping Attacks with a Halberd will stun them, you can stand in place and spam that attack to reliably open them up for a riposte, then repeat until they die so long as you manage your Stamina (you have an opportunity before riposting them to regen a bit of stamina.) Not sure about other weapon types smaller than that, but it works for me when doing the Fringefolk Hero's Grave as a Vagabond right at the start of the game using the x2 Stonesword Keys Keepsake.

The dual-wielder in Sol has been an absolute nightmare to my canonical Confessor build with a Twinblade.
Since he just shrugs off my attacks - i can't do anything to him without getting retaliated.
Quickstep also does nothing to him - his combos are such bullsh*t that he roll-catches Quickstep dodges, and he's got relentless tracking so i can't even Quickstep around him.
In the greatest fit of opportunity my counter to him was Shadow Bait spell that i happened to have on me - it would distract him, providing backstab opportunities or a breathing room to heal.
In the end i defeated him with 1/8 HP flasks left and a couple of VERY close calls. Morgott's Rune is the MVP of that encounter (the f*cker cost me 5 rune arcs)

When you're fighting Oleg in castle sol you can also just spam roll until he's going to do his modified combo of pulling off an extra roll attack, at which point you'll want to delay it a little longer. Chances are he won't bother doing it again, and after that you're just fighting a normal banished knight who rolls (he has a roll-attack follow up on his stormslams)

I'll add my voice to the chorus that hates the Castle Sol one. I really hate enemies who combo you out. I remembering being a poise heavy, heavy armored, parry king, and after a successful parry getting stunlocked to death anyway. The regular ones are fine but that one simply deals way too much damage for a respawning enemy. He's up there with the old snowfield dogs and malenia for reasons I didn't play the game again for 2 years.

We know from the horned warriors that the ornamental horns on their armor/weapons are used as a medium for invoking divinity and magic powers and such. So here's the deal: what if the horns on the banished knights and veterans are also a medium for wielding the storm skills?

I am a military veteran, and when I came home to the family farm, I wasn't in the best place mentally. My relatives took advantage of my state and swindled me out of money and property. I was effectively banished from the very farmland that I grew up tending with my dad and grandpa. I disowned them and moved away to finish school with my education benefits. So, I wear this armor as one who, whether by misfortune or misdeed, was forced to abandon my home.

There's a better way to cheese the dual-sword B-Knight at Castle Sol. First, head to the rooftop east of the knight, the roof of the room with the rats in it and the ladder up to the roof. On that roof, face west and walk to the opening where the short wall has crumbled and turn right (face north) and jump up the crumbled wall and walk to the pillar at the northwestern corner of the rooftop. You're now in position. Lock on and use a ranged attack against the knight and then IMMEDIATELY unlock and turn so you're facing inward toward the rooftop again (face roughly east, away from where the B-Knight normally stands.) Since he likes to teleport behind you, he will do so, and will be left to plummet to his death between the two buildings. This method sounds complicated, but it isn't complicated at all, I was just using a lot of detail to avoid confusion. Once you get on the roof and practice or follow the steps one time it'll all make perfect sense.

I’ve been having a good time larping as a banished knight and invading stormveil at rl30.
I run 2-3 of the halberds each with different storm ashes so I have access to the same moves, then as a slight handicap and for more authenticity I run the finger’s trick mirror.
The soreseal and great-jar’s arsenal help offset the stat investments so I can just pump vigor. Makes you a very tough foe even for ganks, and being able to switch up your ash by swapping halberds is pretty fun. Give it a go

The dual sword guys have two combos that honestly doesn’t seem possible to roll dodge cos the follow ups are so rapid and fast. The spinning attack and the 8 hit combo. I suggest just running back and creating distance when they wind up.

I am unsure of the exact stats that cause this but I assume it’s more like “Heavy weapons” like Greatswords are great for stunlocking these guys. I had a good time in Castle Sol with a +9 Godslayer Greatsword and most attacks could keep them stunlocked - though the knights with the Shields were able to occasionally interrupt with a shield bash.

I don't care what anyone else says, THESE are the single coolest enemies in the entire game. Are their combos longer than your average college discussion course? Yeah. Is the red-eyed variant in Castle Sol an absolute beast? Absolutely. Doesn't matter to me. Everything about them screams "I'm cool, I know I'm cool, I know I look cool, and I don't care." These bad bois are one of the only enemies in the game that I wholly respect whenever they kick my a**. Does it suck getting stun-locked by their stupid wind moves? Yeah, but watching them pancake my a** reminds me that these are warriors who wholly deserve that title. Everything they do is with purpose, flash, and overbearing power. They're fluent in over six million ways of kicking your a** and they'll remind you of that every time you butt heads with them. It's a damn shame we can only use some of their skills because that evasive move with the halberd knight and the charge attack the dual greatswords use are some of the coolest looking and flashiest moves in the entire game, hands down. They know how to throw hands and take them, and they'll do everything in their power to win because at the end of the day, it's not the title or land that gave these knights their position. It's their skill, power, and sheer f*cking CONFIDENCE. I use summons pretty regularly whenever I'm doing a cosplay run as a Banished Knight and I always use Oleg and Engvall. Seeing them FLY into battle to give that runebear a pseudo-cavity filling is one of, if not the coolest sights in the game. They might not win a battle. They may be outnumbered, outsized, or overwhelmed by the sheer power of a giant moldy potato, but they're definitely not outskilled and they'll go down fighting to the death. What an OUTSTANDING enemy. It's a damn shame they don't get more attention. I would love to see allied Banished Knights patrolling or resting in the Roundtable Hold or seeing them singlehandedly fending off some soldiers intruding on their land. They are the dictionary definition of "It's nothing personal, kid" and they know it.

I fought the halberd banished knight in castle sol and he tried to cast a heal spell. I killed him before he healed so Idk how much it heals.

The drop rate for the unaltered chest piece is straight up wrong. I have an inventory full of legs, helmets, and gauntlets with just over 600000 runes but not one single chest piece. At a 3% drop rate that’s statistically improbable. If my binomials aren’t too rusty that’s less than a 0.02% chance of happening if it’s truly 3% and yet here I am still without a f****** chest piece. This is my favorite armor piece in the game and yet every single playthrough winds up requiring between two and five hours to get it with me loosing track this time as I watched so many Münecat videos on YouTube I think I’ve actually damaged my brain with me not even listening to the videos or really playing the game by the end just going through it. It was still light out when I started and I’m literally going to bed without the chest piece. I’m telling myself to go touch grass that’s how much time I’ve just wasted. Fix the drop rate or while I have no power over anyone in charge and will still love the game regardless I will hold a deep and personal hatred that after festering will make me doubt any future releases under an “I don’t have time for that crap” attitude and with too many people in the same boat as me y’all will be your own downfall.

Like the lothric knights of DS3, I initially hated them but now really enjoy them. Even the dual wielding ones I found to be fine after learning the tells for their combos.

My gripe about enemies like these is that they look so cool not only when they attack but when they're idle and walking. Meanwhile the player character only does the lame idle and walk cycle. If only we could attack like they do.

Pop a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot if you have one.
Pop it like a pill? Pop it like champagne? Naw.. You SNAP those things like slim jims.

They have majestic design and a varied and fun moveset to fight against. Their Spirit Ash form is one of the most powerful ones thanks to the constant aggressiveness.
Love how misbegotten can climb ladders but these guys can't
