Bugs
- Spear and Shield variant and Sword and Shield variant in the room directly before the Crystal Sage have swapped AI, causing unintended movesets.
- Spear and Shield variant uses the Sword and Shield moveset and the Spear and Shield moveset simultaneously, capable of longer combos and even using otherwise unused moves.
- Sword and Shield variant has an unusual pattern consisting of frequent running attacks, and even the capability to drink Estus. As it is the only Sword and Shield variant of this enemy type in the game, the moveset list was adjusted for this.
