The Witch Who Cannot Be Named: A Haunting Tale

The witch with an unspoken name was an enigma. She lived deep in the dark forest, hidden from the prying eyes of the villagers. Her powers were whispered about in hushed tones, but no one dared to mention her name aloud. Legends and rumors surrounded her, as tales of her magic spread throughout the land. People would come to her seeking help, but they would leave with a sense of unease, unable to remember her name or what she looked like. It was said that the witch's power came from her unspoken name.

It was said that the witch's power came from her unspoken name. She had discovered long ago that by keeping her name hidden, she could control her magic in ways others could only dream of. But this power came at a price - she was lonely, isolated from the world, forever shrouded in secrecy.

Zamor Ruins Walkthrough

The Zamor Ruins is a fairly large location but with little to do. The place is crawling with Knights of Zamor who are very formidable and powerful opponents. Try to sneak past them and only ever engage one at a time, lest you get overwhelmed. Of note in these ruins is the Zamor Ice Storm sorcery spell found in the southernmost section of the ruins, on a corpse by a stone archway, as well as the Smithing-Stone Miner's Bell Bearing (3) found in an underground room, the entrance to which is found in the southwest section of the ruins.

Roiling Magma is very effective against these. They might dodge, but then stupidly saunter into the blast. Also handy to open up with Loretta’s greatbow, they won’t ever dodge the first shot.

Good for farming runes, bad for your sanity, especially if you play solo and don't parry. You have to bait them out and it takes like a fckin hour to get one by itself to fight.

A good place to farm runes. With the Beetle 'Gold Scarab' you net over 6K per kill. If you spawn one with golden eyes, you get over 30K for that kill.
All you need is a buckler and a straight sword. I am using a +20 Claymore from the early game.

Keep killing the solo one on the path through the ruins and then reset at the SoG nearby. Just parry then punish. Repeat. You can parry the stun he does, you will still take a little damage, but will not be knocked down. When he uses his AOE, do not run away, run towards him and to the side of it. Then punish him before his animation is over. On his double attack if you miss the parry of his first swing, you are not going to parry the second. Just take the damage and stay with him. Parry his next swing and down a HP potion after you punish him, and he is still on the ground. Then get ready for the next parry. Don't worry if you die. Just use your horse to go pick back up your runes. He is a slow walker until you aggro him. Once you get the hang of it, it is very rare you die.

Finally cleared it after after dying several times as a str/fai with Claymore +20 using trusty Lions Claw AOW. 3 Lion Claw hits should take down each one. Best thing about it is that you stay out of their range and then leap in. Summon the greatshield boys for some extra tackling power. While you're attacking one be aware the other one is probably about to jump on you and move accordingly. And stay out of their frost cones! The last 3 you have to fight together like to spam it. Run around it and if 2 are close together Lions Claw hits them both for big damage.

For their melee attacks, they almost always swing twice, but when they do they take a while to recover. Make sure you're out of the way of both swings then go for the attack, but don't get greedy. One big hit each time is enough.

"Hmm we ran out of time to make interesting enemies and places, lets just cope paste one boss 20 times and throw a bunch of brick ruins around"

Easy farm: equip Night Comet as your ONLY spell, this forces your mimic to cast only that as well. These enemies WILL NOT dodge Night Comet. Walk in and smoke these guys from range. Easy 25k every few minutes.

Place was easy with +10 mimic. Killed every last living thing. Normally my summon will disappear after enemies are clear yet my mimic goes on? Strange. Ohe, lions bow ash of war made short work of their groups. Still say Im missing more than wiki claims to get but. Guess I have to manually rud my summons.

This area gave me a hard time first playthru and this second one as well, but now im doing a FAI/STR build i find that charged frenzied burst can whittle them down and once they get in range finish them with flame of the fell god. They cant dodge either of them.

Using the right weapon for melee is really important with these knights. If you cant stagger them, but also dont have fast enough recovery, you will always lose. Not to mention figuring out which animations of theirs have the insane hyperarmour

Every single one of the knights has a vantage point from which you can attack at range at no risk whatsoever. Look for those and you should be good.

Night comet makes these guys a pretty decent farm. They won't dodge it so you can just pew pew from a safe distance.

This place is amazing for farming runes. Each Zamor Knight is worth over 5,000 and all you have to do is go to the rocks overlooking the ruins and spam them with Loretta’s Greatbow or similar long-range sorcery. It never occurs to them to climb up to get you, so they are sitting ducks.

they are fairly easy to parry, especially compared to a lot of other enemies in this game. just do NOT try to fight more than one at once.

Agree with everyone else, these guys are just not worth the time. But you can easily get the bell bearing from the chest in case anyone didn't figure it out. From the site of grace, just go up the hill to the right. You'll come across two birds which are annoying, but once dealt with, the hill overlooks the stairwell leading to the chest. Just wait for the patrol guy to be walking back and drop down. You'll easily get to the stairwell undetected.

Just went through the area on horseback while grabbing the items after seeing how many of these dudes are in it. They just aren't worth fighting.

A great place for mid-game farming. Use fire-based weapons, incantations etc.
Rest at the grace. Head along the pathway to see a solo zamor knight patrolling the road. Kill it for 5000 runes. Rest again.
Repeat and repeat. Kill it 20 times to get 100000 runes easy peasy.

That lightning strike ash of war (from the Lyndell) works well along with sniping the ones you can from higher ground with arrows if your a melee build. But yeah up close and personal is rough when faced with 2 of them

A key item guarded by multiple enemies with boss level health pools capable of 1 shotting the player, but they slowly walk a fixed patrol pattern and don't attack unless you get right in their face, I feel like this is intended to be a stealth section and you're not supposed to fight them

It is not worth clearing out all the knights with a melee build. Ride in, grab the loot, and GTFO. Just one knight killed 2 of my 3 fully upgraded wolf ashes.

I've tried to clear out this place I think ten times now and each time I just get owned.
When I try to fight one on one, more come from somewhere else.
it's like neverending.
I just want to be able to clear it.

what a pile of **** of an enemy, it only becomes aggressive when you're facing more than one, otherwise it just edgy slow walks towards you wasting 20 years of your life.

Zamor Knight fight guide:
Slow double slash -> Roll twice, any direction.
Fast/spinning double slash-> Roll once, through the attack or else you'll be hit by the follow up. They can also charge into it if you're a short distance away.
Backflip swing -> Roll once or just back away. Easy to dodge, but they tend to do things right after they land, so be cautious.
Ice push(?) -> only happens when you're right on top of them, just roll once. Quite fast though.
Ice blast -> only happens when you're a good distance from them, run at a curve to close the gap and avoid the ice cone, then jump behind them for free hits. If there is more than one of them doing this at the same time, just run away.
Jumping slam -> They tend to do this when you are far away AND are using an item/casting a spell. I have yet to not be hit in these scenarios, but if they just throw it out there, it's easy to dodge and has a long recovery.

Never hit more than once during an opening unless you have a fast weapon or they're stuck recovering from the jump or the ice blast.

The villagers feared her, not understanding the true extent of her powers. They viewed her as a threat and spread stories of her wickedness. Little did they know that the witch only used her magic to protect the forest and its creatures. She had made a pact with the forest spirits, promising to keep their sacred land safe from harm. Despite her isolation, the witch continued to watch over the villagers, silently casting spells to protect them from harm. She knew their names and their deepest fears, and used this knowledge to shield them from evil. But the villagers remained oblivious to her presence, unable to comprehend the extent of her abilities. Years passed, and the witch grew old and tired. The weight of her unspoken name weighed heavily upon her, and she yearned for connection and understanding. As she lay on her deathbed, she made a decision - she would reveal her name, breaking the centuries-old spell that had kept her hidden. With her last breath, the witch whispered her name into the wind. Instantly, her spirit was set free, soaring through the forest and beyond. The villagers, suddenly overcome with a sense of loss and regret, gathered to mourn her passing. They finally understood the sacrifice that the witch had made, and vowed to honor her memory. The legend of the witch with an unspoken name continued to be told for generations. Her story served as a reminder of the power of sacrifice and the importance of connection. The villagers built a shrine in her honor, a place for people to come and pay their respects. And every year, on the anniversary of her death, they would gather by the shrine, whispering her name aloud, ensuring that her memory would never be forgotten..
