Scaled Knight Tyler

Spoilers ahead. This page says what this creature is, where it waits, and how it fights.

The game wants you to meet it in the dark first.

Turn back

Good gold on him.

Scaled Knight Tyler

Deadly Elite

His hall on the way to the stairs, waiting in the corner out of sight of the door

Scaled Knight Tyler

What it is

Tyler was captain of the fourth division of the Knights of Freedom. Four of his knights - Aldous, Maren, Coll and Little Wren - came up with the patrol while he was away on the second floor, and went at the thing at the stairs with Carl.

When Tyler came up to bring them home, there was nothing left to bring. He took up their gear and went at it alone. It killed him, and he got up again: scales, a tail, a crocodile's head, and the oath still in his mouth. He fights with all of them now.

How it fights

He does not wait to be asked. Step into his hall and he is on you.

Maren's Quick Cut costs him nothing and leaves a mark. His tail sweep and death roll leave more, and Freedom's Edge spends every mark on you as damage. With Little Wren's Blade on his arm, every mark comes doubled. Guard the cheap cuts, and the edge has nothing to spend.

What you were told

Henry says

Good gold on him.

Wears a signet ring worth more than my whole case. Kill him and bring it to me - no. Keep it. It does more on your hand than it would in my box, and I'm not fighting him for it.

Jerome's word

A knight, still.

Tyler was the captain of the fourth division of the Knights of Freedom. His comrades - Aldous, Maren, Coll and Little Wren - came up with the patrol while he was away on the second floor. He came up after them, found what was left, and went at the thing at the stairs alone. It killed him, and he got up again, and now he fights with all of them. Walk into his hall and he will not wait to be asked. Be guarded before you step through his door.

Named: Freedom's Edge

Carl says

Doesn't wait.

Lizard in a knight's plate. Set one foot in his room and he's on you before you've turned round. When he gets hold of you he rolls - that's the one that hurts. Doesn't matter. He's in the way to the stairs either way.

Named: Death Roll
