ReDead Knight

ReDead Knights are enemies in. In the Prima game guide of, they are simply known as ReDeads. Unlike ordinary ReDeads, they do not jump on their victims' backs and bite them, instead relying on a huge, bandaged sword to attack. They also have a bandaged appearance, as well as rusty armor and a torn, red cloak.

In the Japanese version, ReDead Knights are actually known as Gibdos. The fact that they are swathed in bandages in further connects them to the mummified appearance of the Gibdo. However, in, they are correctly referred to as Gibdos, as the ReDead Knight is a fire-based variant.

Characteristics
ReDead Knights only appear in the Arbiter's Grounds and the Cave of Ordeals. When first encountered, a ReDead Knight lays motionless on the ground, until Link wanders too close, when it rises and drags its sword towards him. When Link is within the monster's attack range, it will release a paralyzing scream, and finish its attack with a powerful blow from its sword.

Twelve Arrows, two Bomb Arrows, the Ball and Chain, the Jump Strike, and the Mortal Draw can be used to defeat a ReDead Knight. Also, in wolf form, they can be killed by L-targeting them and continuously biting it twice. With one or two Knights in the area, they should be attacked from afar. The third Hidden Skill, the Back Slice, can be used if Link is caught in the ReDead Knight's scream by pressing the A-Button and tilting the control stick left or right. When the enemy brings down his sword, Link will roll around it and slice at it, leaving it vulnerable for even more damage.

Large groups of ReDead Knights found in the Cave of Ordeals can often surround Link, causing the fight to be much more frustrating. In the cave, it is best to use the wolf form, as Link can target one ReDead and rapidly press A. Link will jump onto and bite the ReDead the moment the scream is over.

ReDead Knights appear in in Level 7-1. They behave similarly as their incarnations, and as they are shot down, more appear to attack. They rise up from inside coffins, usually very close to the camera in an attempt to startle or scare their opponents. A single shot to the head with a normal Arrow will destroy them; though using Bomb Arrows is the best way to kill larger groups that appear.

In, Gibdos and ReDead Knights appear as elite Captains. The Gibdos take on the appearance of ReDead Knights from, while the enemy known as the ReDead Knight is a fiery variant.

As Captains, ReDead Knights often appear fighting alongside enemy hordes. Their special attack involves screaming while releasing a shock wave around them or a wave of noise, which stuns any opposing Warrior, including infantry troops, who are caught in it. Once stunned, they will then attack their enemy with their swords. Their screams, however, also leaves them vulnerable to attacks as it exposes their Weak Point Gauge. They also have an additional attack which causes them to glow briefly before spewing a poisonous miasma around them, similar to Deku Babas. When charging this attack, they expose their weakness to Arrows, which will cause them to expose their Weak Point Gauge and spin around, damaging their allied units, if shot at while glowing.

When defeated, ReDead Knights will either drop ReDead Bandage or ReDead Knight Ashes Materials.
