Labyrinth Ritekeeper ❘ 遺跡の祭祀者	Regular Enemy

Description Whether in a graveyard or in the bedroom, there will always be humans that are sleeping. Among the hunters survives the knowledge of individuals who prays for those resting, a unique ritualist. People who do not know of the ritualists will be terrified by their appearance and demeanor, labeling them as disgusting and repulsive, whereas that may just be pure prejudice… perhaps. Be especially mindful of the ritual masters, who perform a dark and ancient ceremony that few have lived to talk about. (Pre-release Official Description) Overview Ritekeepers use only magic and are incapable of melee attacks of any kind; their spells cannot be interrupted, but you can stagger them with charged R2 swings. They have low health and no super armor at all, so they can be easily stunned with R1 combos before they have a chance to respond. They'll launch slow-moving fireballs at you from a distance and use a spherical area attack at close range. Their fireballs have extremely long range and can travel backward, to strike behind the Ritekeeper, but have very poor tracking and can be avoided by quickstepping sideways. The area attack is centered on the skull in their left hand and has a radius of three meters; you can escape it by quickstepping backward. Special Ritekeepers In Root Chalice Dungeons with Rotted Offering there is a 17% (base) chance to appear in non-Hintertomb and 13% (base) chance to appear in Hintertomb dungeons, these special Labyrinth Ritekeepers will patrol large rooms, gather other enemies around it and then strengthen them. Even when the Ritekeeper is killed, the enemies will retain their powered-up status which lasts for 18 seconds. This effect will normally apply to the adversary players as well, increasing AR (Phys., Thrust, Blunt & Blood) by 35%, and if you use the Shaman Bone Blade, you as a host can receive this buff alongside with cooperators. [Image / Video] Strategy Quickstep past them and strike from behind with R1 combos, or stagger them and follow through with visceral attacks. Ritekeepers are initially hunched over when you first encounter them, but will stand up when you get too close; they move and turn slowly in their squatting stance, but are somewhat faster when standing upright. Striking their exposed legs will cause them to sit back down again and can help prevent them from evading your attacks, but be careful of their area attack as you move in to strike. Dodge their fireballs by quickstepping forward past them and their area attack by quickstepping backwards; when you move in to attack, avoid approaching head-on and instead try to dash in from the side. Notes Preset Chalice Dungeons: Central Pthumerian Labyrinth, Cursed Pthumerian Defilement, Pthumeru Ihyll 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] There are three variants regular small ritekeeper, arcane ritekeeper and strong version tall ritekeeper (with visible long legs). Small and tall ritekeepers have different drop rates and stats, while arcane variant are mostly found in depth 5 Isz Chalice Dungeons and cast arcane projectiles instead of fireballs [Image / video] It's possible to turn standing ritekeepers into the hunched version with a strong attack like tricked Kirk R2 or untricked Amygdalan Arm R2 and also the opposite is possible with the Madaras' Whistle. If this is done on the arcane variant of a hunched ritekeeper, she'll end up casting both arcane and fire projectile. [video 01, video 02] Labyrinth Ritekeeper (tall) is tied to the Bloodlickers spawn effect in Chalice Dungeons. Therefore after executing visceral attack and killing this enemy, then heading off to other parts of the layer, there's a possibility that when you return to the room you visceral attacked it in a Bloodlicker will appear to feed on the blood. More information about this effect can be found on the Traps & Hazards wiki page. You can see Labyrinth Ritekeeper's (tall) posture when you remove the clothes. [image]

Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective. Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies.

Ritual Materials: Drop Pools

For the most part, items dropped by enemies are decided simply by a random per cent chance from that enemy's own list of potential items. When an enemy appears in a dungeon, it sometimes has one or more of its drops determined by the dungeon's Depth, in order to give better rewards for more challenging dungeons. Such items are selected from a pool of similar items, and these pools are shown here. The upshot of this is that an enemy might drop a Tomb Mold (1) in the Depth 1 Pthumerian Root Labyrinth, but would drop a Tomb Mold (5) instead in a Depth 5 Isz Gravestone dungeon.

Pool Name	Depth 1		Depth 2		Depth 3		Depth 4		Depth 5
Ritual Blood A		Ritual Blood (1) Depth 1		Ritual Blood (2) Depth 2		Ritual Blood (3) Depth 3		Ritual Blood (4) Depth 4		Ritual Blood (5) Depth 5

Base Level: Blood Echoes, HP, Damage and Def. Multipliers

For enemies that also appear (or exclusively appear) in dungeons, their stats will be shown at the base level, because their exact stats at any given point are calculated from these base values. The basic formula is: Total Value = Base x A x B x C x D. Multipliers written down below were datamined directly from the game files. Multiplier A represents depth (1 - 5) of the chalice dungeon; multiplier B is layer (1 - 4) of the specific chalice dungeon; multiplier C is used when dungeon is Pthumeru Ihyll; multiplier D is for calculating blood echoes when additional curse rite is used.
