Enchanted Knight
Enchanted Knight was one of the five available characters in the Elden Ring Closed Network Test.
It served as the network test's designated sorcerer. Unlike the Prophet and Warrior origins, Enchanted Knight, along with Bloody Wolf and Champion, would not appear in the final game.
Starting Equipment
Recreating
Though this class isn't available in the final release of the game, it can be recreated.
All items are found in either Limgrave or Liurnia of the Lakes.
The Winged Spear (or rather the Spear, as it's known in the released game) can be gained by either farming spear-wielding Exile Soldiers, with one of them being found up the stairs just south of the Rampart Tower Site of Grace in Stormveil Castle or killing Patches for his +7 Spear (found at either Murkwater Cave in Limgrave or the Scenic Isle Site of Grace in southern Liurnia) while the Carian Glintstone Shield (Carian Knight's Shield in the released game) is dropped by Moongrum, Carian Knight near the top of the Academy of Raya Lucaria.
For the skills, Ash of War: Determination is dropped by a Scarab found on the bridge at the northern edge of Lake Agheel (southeast of Agheel Lake North Site of Grace which itself is east of Gatefront Ruins in Limgrave). As Sorcerer Hunter (Skill: Carian Retaliation in the released game) is not an innate skill anymore, Ash of War: Carian Retaliation can be bought for 3,000 Runes from Pidia, Carian Servant at the end of Caria Manor after defeating Royal Knight Loretta.
The Carian Sorcerer Staff (Carian Glintstone Staff in the released game) can be found in the regular version of the Carian Study Hall along the eastern edge of Liurnia of the Lakes, on a small altar at the end of the first floor just before the elevator. Glintstone Pebble can be gained by either starting as the Astrologer Origin, or by buying it for 1,000 Runes from either Sorceress Sellen in Waypoint Ruins or Sorcerer Thops at Church of Irith. Carian Piercer is dropped by a Scarab found on the ground level of Caria Manor, just around the first pillar on the right of the stone path.
The entire Carian Knight Set can be found in the graveyard about halfway up Academy of Raya Lucaria. Past the Church of the Cuckoo Site of Grace, heading out into the graveyard and past the rope bridge keep to the right and look over the edge for a lower platform where 3 Magic Putrid Corpses are praying in front of a small monument which the entire armor set can be found in front of.
Suitable Origins
Prisoner is the generally most suitable Origin as it only needs 1 more points in both Strength and Dexterity to wield the weapon and 1 more point in Intelligence to wield the shield, and it can immediately cast Glintstone Pebble. It will however need 10 more points in Intelligence to use the proper staff and 13 more points in said stat to cast Carian Piercer. Additionally, 3 more points in Endurance is needed to carry all the gear with a medium load, not counting any Talismans.
Astrologer exchanges some physical stats in exchange for immediate access to one of the spells, Glintstone Pebble, though will still need 8 more points in Intelligence to wield the staff and 11 more points to cast Carian Piercer. They can wield the weapon two-handed with 3 more points of Dexterity and will need 2 more points in Strength to wield the shield one-handed or 4 more points to wield the weapon one-handed. Finally, 5 more points in Endurance are needed to carry all the gear with a medium load, not counting any talismans.
Samurai is a surprise contender since it's the only starting Origin able to wield the weapon one-handed but is generally very lacking in Intelligence, needing 1 more points just to cast Glintstone Pebble and 6 more points to wield the shield, and 15 more points to wield the staff and 18 more points to cast Carian Piercer. Only 2 points in Endurance are needed to carry the gear at a medium load.
