Mergo's Attendant (Unarmed) ❘ 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.

Due to their lack of aggression, you can attack them from any direction with little fear of reprisal; still, it's safest to stay behind them so they can't hit you right away when your attacks turn them hostile. Elemental weapons and Molotovs are effective, as are interrupts and staggers, but like other weak enemies, it's more efficient simply to use R1 attack chains or charged R2s. In the uncommon event that they attack you without provocation, simply quickstep forward through their attacks and finish them with an R1 combo from behind.

Gem	Shape	Rating	Primary Effect	Secondary Effect
Dirty Damp Blood Gem (4)	Radial	13	Add rapid poison effect +6.2
Dirty Damp Blood Gem (5)	Radial	14	Add rapid poison effect +6.4

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]
