Labyrinth Warrior (Morning Star) ❘ 守り人の戦士	Strong Enemy

Description Labyrinth Warriors are among the strongest opponents you'll encounter in the dungeons, and should be approached with due caution. Those armed with a greatsword in both hands can inflict large amounts of damage with accurate swings, and to make things worse, they'll often have additional elemental effects on their weapons. As they approach you they'll often use their Running Sweep, which has an immense amount of tracking and forward momentum so you'll need to quickstep through it at the last second to evade it successfully. These enemies lack any long range attacks and will generally only walk toward you, so if needed you can run away to create some space with which to heal, buff or use ranged attacks. Although slightly weaker than those with greatswords, warriors carrying crossbows & swords have the advantage of ranged attacks. Once you they have spotted you they will open fire with their crossbows, firing one shot roughly every 6 seconds so you'll need to approach them either from behind cover, or while strafing diagonally to make the shots miss. Labyrinth Warriors wielding morning stars are aggressive and dangerous enemies; both the chain and the spiked head can strike you for multiple hits. From close range, they will use a string of overhead swings or their faster Flailing Combo. Their Flailing Combo consists of five swings and will appear to have ended before the last hit to bait you into walking into it. This attack will continue regardless of the distance you stand from them, creating many openings to interrupt it. Some warriors even employ shields to increase their defensive capabilities, and they will occasionally hold their shields up defensively and walk around while focused on you. From a distance they often use their Running Shield Smash or Running Overhead Cleave, both of which have strong tracking and will be followed by a Turnaround swing if you quickstep to past them to their back. Since both of these attacks have very telegraphed animations, it's better to try and interrupt them rather than evade. Strategy These warriors have more range than the other types, which means you'll need to stand further away if you're attempting bait them into attacking so that you can move back and strike them in the recovery once they miss. The transformed R2s of weapons such as the Threaded Cane and Hunter Axe are especially useful against these enemies because they can flinch them very easily, so once you start attacking, keep going until your stamina has been exhausted. When at long range, they will run slowly after you and use either their Spinning Swing or Running Overhead Swing; both of these attacks can be evaded with a well timed quickstep to the side, but you may want to take advantage of the telegraphed animation and go for an interrupt instead to end the fight quickly. Notes Preset Chalice Dungeons: Cursed Pthumerian Defilement All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video] Labyrinth Warriors (Morning Star) can use recovery items to fully restore their health, so you'll need to keep the pressure on them. Labyrinth Warrior (Morning Star) is tied to the Bloodlickers spawn effect in Chalice Dungeons. Therefore after executing visceral attack and killing this enemy, then heading off to other parts of the layer, there's a possibility that when you return to the room you visceral attacked it in a Bloodlicker will appear to feed on the blood. More information about this effect can be found on the Traps & Hazards wiki page. Labyrinth Warrior (Morning Star) will sometimes scream towards you which is not just intimidation move but it actually gives them 15% phys buff after defense reductions. [video]

Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective. Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies.

Attack Patterns

Key Attack	Interrupt	Notes
Spinning Swing	Yes	Long range swing reaching almost 360 degrees and far ahead of them; move back a good distance and use throwing items against them.
Flailing Combo	Yes	Fast combo with up to five swings which can each hit multiple times and continues regardless of your distance; quickstep back and interrupt this or use throwing items.
Running Overhead Swing	Yes	Reaches far ahead of them; quickstep to either side as soon as they swing and attack them during their recovery.

Ritual Materials: Drop Pools

For the most part, items dropped by enemies are decided simply by a random per cent chance from that enemy's own list of potential items. When an enemy appears in a dungeon, it sometimes has one or more of its drops determined by the dungeon's Depth, in order to give better rewards for more challenging dungeons. Such items are selected from a pool of similar items, and these pools are shown here. The upshot of this is that an enemy might drop a Tomb Mold (1) in the Depth 1 Pthumerian Root Labyrinth, but would drop a Tomb Mold (5) instead in a Depth 5 Isz Gravestone dungeon.

Pool Name	Depth 1		Depth 2		Depth 3		Depth 4		Depth 5
Inflicted Organ Pool		Blood Vial Depth 1		Blood Vial Depth 2		Inflicted Organ Depth 3		Inflicted Organ Depth 4		Yellow Backbone Depth 5

Base Level: Blood Echoes, HP, Damage and Def. Multipliers

For enemies that also appear (or exclusively appear) in dungeons, their stats will be shown at the base level, because their exact stats at any given point are calculated from these base values. The basic formula is: Total Value = Base x A x B x C x D. Multipliers written down below were datamined directly from the game files. Multiplier A represents depth (1 - 5) of the chalice dungeon; multiplier B is layer (1 - 4) of the specific chalice dungeon; multiplier C is used when dungeon is Pthumeru Ihyll; multiplier D is for calculating blood echoes when additional curse rite is used.
