11Overview22Skull 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.66These 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.88Stats1010StatValueHealth55EvadeN/ACC Gauge201212Equipment1313Skull Knight Follower wears the following items:1515ItemLanternBrina Plate ArmorElectromagnetic FrostspitterGoblin Merchant Guild's Plate GlovesSkull Knight Follower's Plate Boots1717Location1818Skull Knight Followers are found in the area surrounding the Spire of the Frost in Demeniss.
