Overview
Skull Knight Follower is a Story NPC in Crimson Desert. An ominous being that wanders the battlefield, draped in a tattered cloak. The hollow echo of its armor makes one wonder if anything lies within. It moves through lightless shadows and stands steadfast at the heart of the dark legion, unwavering in its loyalty.
These spectral soldiers serve as the footsoldiers of the Skull Knight, one of the most formidable bosses in the game. They patrol the area around the Spire of the Frost in Demeniss and will attack any intruder on sight. Players who venture into Skull Knight territory should be well prepared, as these followers are significantly tougher than most regular enemies.

Location
Skull Knight Followers are found in the area surrounding the Spire of the Frost in Demeniss. This is the same location where the Skull Knight boss encounter takes place. The Spire is a gothic, heavily fortified structure surrounded by dark legion forces. Players typically encounter these followers while making their way toward the Skull Knight boss fight.
The area is dangerous even before reaching the boss. Skull Knight Followers roam in groups and can quickly overwhelm an unprepared player. Approaching carefully and engaging them one at a time is strongly recommended.
Combat Tips
Despite their relatively modest health pool of 55, Skull Knight Followers can deal significant damage. Their attacks hit hard relative to their level tier.
They carry the Electromagnetic Frostspitter, suggesting they may use frost-based ranged attacks. Be prepared to dodge projectiles as you approach.
Try to isolate individual followers rather than engaging the full group. Use terrain and obstacles to break line of sight with distant enemies while you deal with closer ones.
If you are heading toward the Skull Knight boss, conserve your healing items. The boss fight is extremely demanding, described by players as roughly twice as strong as Awakened Ludvig in terms of health and damage.
Players recommend waiting until at least Chapter 7 and having approximately 70 Attack Power and 100 Defense Power before attempting this area.
Association with the Skull Knight Boss
The Skull Knight is an extremely high-level boss encountered at the Spire of the Frost. Community discussions describe it as one of the hardest fights in the game. The boss features an ultimate attack during which it cannot be damaged and pounds the player relentlessly. Experienced players recommend using pillars in the arena as cover and stocking at least four to five Palmar Pill revival items. Defeating the followers before the boss fight is important to avoid being overwhelmed during the encounter itself.
