The one at the top of the stairs wields a sword and shield, while the one inside the structure carries a Dragonslayer Greatbow but will switch to a sword and shield if the player gets too close to him while they are aggroed.

Taking the interior stairs behind the last two Dragon Knights and past the wooden chest, two more Dragon Knights can be found within the gazebo structure where the Dark Priestess once was.

After ascending the stairs, two more are found near the hammer-wielding Drakekeeper.

One wields dual greataxes, the other a shield and warpick.

Two are encountered shortly after the first bonfire, in the same area as the sword and shield wielding Drakekeeper.

In Scholar of the First Sin, a total of twenty-two Dragon Knights are found.

They are very weak to lightning based miracles such as Lightning Spear. Due to their large health pool, it's best to lure them out one at a time to avoid being overwhelmed. Sweeping weapons with high poise damage, such as the Greatsword, are also effective, allowing the player to stun-lock them with several strikes before moving back, completely avoiding damage. The player can exploit their distance by using ranged attacks such as Poison Arrows. They can perform guard breaks on the player and will take an Estus when injured. These foes can dual wield, though their attack speed isn't that impressive. Some knights used the scales and tail of the later deceased Black Dragon Kalameet to forge their armor and weapons. The Dragon Knights were a seclusive syndicate of warriors that donned armor inspired by the Dragons, who they held a great esteem towards. They don the golden version of the Black Dragon Set.

Dragon Knights are found defending the Ancient Dragon in the Dragon Shrine.
