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.

The stairway you encounter these enemies on doesn't give you much room to maneuver, so you may need to bait their swings from afar and close the distance with a jump attack during their recovery. If you have room to quickstep through their attacks and position yourself behind them, do so and follow up with an R1 chain; you may be able to hit both at once in this manner, but be prepared to quickstep away if one of them recovers quickly enough to hit you. In general, however, they can be treated in much the same way as the unarmed version, just with slightly more range on their attacks.

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]
