Mergo's Attendant (Crossbow) ❘ メルゴーの従者	Regular Enemy

Short enemies clad in chainmail found in the Library and Panopticon areas within the Mergo's Loft section in the Nightmare of Mensis. The unarmed versions are not aggressive for the most part, and will usually just wander around the area while completely ignoring you, although one will occasionally take a swing at you if you stay close to it for too long. They will become hostile if you go out of your way to hit them first, but lacking weapons of any kind; they use only basic shoulder charges and punches that are easily dealt with.

Attendants armed with crossbows like to hide behind pillars, mirrors and other obstacles in the prison area, just below where their unarmed comrades appear. Their crossbow bolts inflict rapid poison build-up, making them very dangerous at long range; they are also positioned so that you cannot easily attack one without stepping into the others' line of sight. Encountered only during the battle with Micolash, you will find flail-wielding attendants on the spiral staircase connecting the lower and upper sections of the boss area. They use only very simple short-range melee attacks with their flails and aren't much of a threat by themselves, but you'll still need to be careful if you encounter a group of them at once.

Make good use of the surrounding environment for cover and try to lure them out of each others' range before engaging them. If they refuse to cooperate, peek out from behind an obstacle just long enough to hit them with a thrown weapon or a gunshot; even if they don't pursue you, you'll eventually wear them down. You can evade their shots with sideways quicksteps, but if you have to approach them out in the open, it's best to just move diagonally so that the arrows naturally miss by the time they reach you. Once the coast is clear enough for you to fight any remaining crossbowmen out in the open, you're free to cut them down with melee attacks at your leisure because they have little ability to defend themselves up close.

All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video]
