Looking Glass Knight

Lore


Those who wish to serve the king as loyal warriors must take the King's Passage and face the Looking Glass Knight.

Those who fail the test are sacrificed by the merciless specular monstrosity.

— Description of the Looking Glass Set

Fearing something wicked, the King fled the castle and never returned. But his warrior forever true to his command, stands ready to expunge those who would challenge him.

— Description of the Thorned Greatsword

Soul of the Looking Glass Knight, who challenges visitors to the lordless castle.

Long ago, the King's Passage was a route taken by the bravest warriors to prove themselves, but now it only prevents one from pursuing the runaway king.

— Description of the Looking Glass Knight Soul

The Looking Glass at the castle is said to have been passage to another world.

Strategies


All attacks bounce off and do no damage if you hit his shield. The deflected sorceries/pyromancies/miracles/hexes can damage the host or friendly phantoms. Hitting the shield appears to do a lot of durability damage to weapons.

At around 50% health or if enough time has passed, a phantom image may form in his shield, and then he slams his shield to the ground and to start summoning Mirror Squires. After this point, he may perform another summon if enough time has passed, so defeating him quickly is ideal. The summoning animation can be canceled if he is staggered.
