Every Outrider Knight one day devolves into a beast, constantly hounded by Pontiff Sulyvahn's black eyes.

The knights were given the eyes of the Pontiff, but the eyes transformed them into savage, raving warriors who only knew how to serve as mindless guards.

Notes
- They can be parried, and a successful parry will allow for a visceral attack. Most of their attacks, however, are very fast. One attack that is easier to parry is the one where they raise their sword slowly then chop down.
- An easy way to kill the one in the Lothric Castle is to lure it out on the bridge, have it fall down in the ditch and aggro the two Undeads so they transform into Pus of Man. They can damage it and will kill it in two frenzy attacks.
- The Boreal Outrider Knight in the Grand Archives is found behind an illusory wall.
The last time I ran into this particular knight i normaly ignore and kill it later but, the lastest time I ran into this knight I got the wyverns nearby to kill it but also died at the same and still got the weapon it drops. This is a better method than direct combat.
Shooting with a ranged weapon multiple times will frenzy it and cause it to attack much faster and more aggressively than normal. Tested on knight at the bottom of Siegward's elevator in undead settlement, need confirmation for other two.
