Fire Knight | Elden Ring Wiki
Fire Knight is a Humanoid Enemy in Elden Ring. Fire Knight is an enemy that was exclusively added to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Fire Knights serve directly under the command of Messmer, being the only ones who truly understand him. They are intimately familiar with his serpent-like flames and the suffering tied to his cursed existence. These enemies can only be encountered within the Shadow Keep. Named fire knights that do not respawn include Wego, Kood, and Salza.
Adorned in a pointed helm and armor featuring a red cape and twin golden snakes around the neck that enhances Messmer's flame incantations, each knight hails from a renowned family of the Erdtree's upper echelons. However, they were shunned and exiled from their homes after swearing loyalty to Messmer as their master. Fire Knight Queelign devoted his all to the crusade, and remade his greatsword in the shape of the lance wielded by his liege—aspiring to become a second Impaler.
The spirit of a Fire Knight can be summoned for aid in battle by using the Fire Knight Hilde Spirit Ashes.

Fire Knight Hilde
Hilde swings a slender greatsword and casts fire incantations. Hilde was a dear friend to Salza the sage, and joined those who urged that the specimens be preserved. Hilde's ashes were enshrined as a charm to protect the storehouse.
Fire Knight Queelign
Spirit of a knight granted relief by the Iris of Grace. 'Wields a spear-like greatsword that impales foes upon fire, keeping the taint of impurity away from fair mother Marika.
That grace was his salvation, though it was but a fleeting blessing. And having been saved, all that was left to him was to wage war'.
Fire Serpent
Launches a flame with a serpentine coil. 'Charging enhances potency.
When the flame they received from Messmer would not find purchase within them, the Fire Knights relied on fire incantations to honor their bond'.

Death Mask Helm
Gnawed at by loneliness, the old man turned his attention to the spirituality of Messmer's flame, using it in a rite of resurrection. Yet the soulless bodies he brought to life were no comfort to poor Wego.
Winged Serpent Helm
The winged serpent is the token creature of Messmer's military forces. It is a wise friend which keeps the base serpent at bay and holds its power in check.
Salza's Hood
A prodigious amount of cloth wound around it, giving the impression of a greatly swollen head, and wearing it increases intelligence.
A disciple of the elder Wego, he refused to burn down an old ruin, at the risk of his own life'.
