Spectre Knight

Spectre Knight is a unique spectral enemy in Fear & Hunger.

Lore
The Spectre Knight is the true form of the old virtuous knight, who was on a path to the darkness of the dungeons. He met the alchemist Nosramus on his way down, who saved his life. The old knight then decided to serve Nosramus for his lifetime and beyond.

Location and Behaviour
The Spectre Knight can be found patrolling the mine shafts on level 5. They will walk towards the player if they see them, and will instantly attack the player if they attempt to enter Nosramus's laboratory. The Spectre Knight is tied to the Armored Knight found at the end of the leftmost path here and will accompany him in battle if the player cannot defeat the Armored Knight in two turns.

Strategy
As a spectral enemy (like the Miner Spectre and the Assassin Spectre) it cannot be harmed by physical attacks, only magic or cursed weaponry. The assassin spectre has several strong sword attacks, which can cut off party member's limbs, making it very risky to fight if the player does not have enough magic and cursed weaponry to destroy it in one or two turns.

The Spectre Knight cannot actually be defeated, as they have 10,000HP, can't be targeted by physical attacks, and do not die after taking a certain amount of damage less than their HP. The only way to get rid of the Spectre Knight is to defeat the Armored Knight.

The Spectre Knight will alternate between using Horizontal sweep (24-36 damage, Arm cut 20%, Arm/leg infection 30% each) and Vertical sweep (36-54 Damage, leg or arm cut 100%).
