Cuckoo Knight is an enemy in ELDEN RING (2022).

Overview

Knights of the Academy of Raya Lucaria. They wear red-and-blue armour emblazoned with a peering cuckoo, whose shrewd gaze is thought to represent the knights' refusal to be mere servants of the Academy.[1] In payment for their contract with the Academy, the knights were taught glintstone sorceries such as Scholar's Armament[2] and Scholar's Shield.[3]

When the Academy turned against the Carian Royal Family, the Cuckoos launched an assault on Caria Manor, declaring their enemy to be none other than Caria itself.[4] However, they were caught in an enchanted snare,[5] and the Raya Lucaria Soldiers were turned into spectral puppets.

They are sometimes found riding horses, and can use Skill: Glintblade Phalanx as long as they remain mounted. Greatsword-wielding ones can also cast Scholar's Armament while spear-wielding ones can use Skill: Glintstone Pebble.

  5. War Counselor Iji: "This territory once belonged to the Carian royal family. Their manor lies not far beyond this point. When the Raya Lucaria Academy turned on the Carians, the Knights of the Cuckoo descended on this tract. After leveling it, they carried on to the manor. The Carians were taken off guard, but their strength had not waned, and they repelled the knights' onslaught... By conjuring an enchanted snare that remains potent to this day."
