A group of six Armos Knights are the first Dungeon Master Link faces, the boss of the [[Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)|Eastern Palace]] in {{ALttP}}. They guard the [[Pendants of Virtue#Pendant of Courage|Pendant of Courage]] within this first dungeon. While they can be defeated with Link's [[Fighter's Sword]], this takes a very large number of hits per knight. The best way to defeat them is to use the [[Bow]] found in the dungeon, as they will fall from three Arrows each. They fight by jumping around in a circular formation, before lining up at the top of the screen and charging at Link all at once, attempting to crush him. Once their numbers are diminished, the last one will turn red and attempt to crush [[Link]] with hard stomps around the room. As with the others, three Arrows will finish him off, although as he will attack close up it may be easier to use the sword. After emerging victorious, Link is rewarded with the Pendant of Courage and a [[Heart Container]]. | A group of six Armos Knights are the first Dungeon Master Link faces, the boss of the [[Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)|Eastern Palace]] in {{ALttP}}.

In {{LA}}, one Armos Knight is found in the [[Southern Face Shrine]]. It guards the [[Face Key]], which opens the sixth dungeon, [[Face Shrine (Dungeon)|Face Shrine]]. Link can defeat the knight by shooting Arrows at it with his Bow, or alternately by dashing into it with the [[Sword]] and [[Pegasus Boots]] equipped. This eventually destroys his armor leaving him vulnerable to either more Arrows or Sword strikes. Unlike the Knights in | In {{LA}}, one Armos Knight is found in the [[Southern Face Shrine]].

This eventually destroys his armor leaving him vulnerable to either more Arrows or Sword strikes. Unlike the Knights in {{ALttP|-}}, this Knight is able to stun Link by slamming the ground with great force. It is important to use the [[Roc's Feather]] when the Knight goes to stomp the ground, as it allows Link to avoid being stunned. Defeating him also allows Link to enter the final room of the Southern Face Shrine, where a mysterious secret of [[Koholint Island|the island]] is hidden. | ||

This variation of the Armos Knight appears in the [[Desert Temple (Four Swords Adventures)|Desert Temple]], the second stage in the [[Desert of Doubt]] in {{FSA}}. A large statue appears at the start of the dungeon who must be moved to gain entrance, and once Link "awakens" the temple, some of them will be revealed from behind barriers and become active. These Armos Knights will come to life when Link gets near, like regular [[Armos]], but they will only stomp after Link when the Links turn their backs on them. They are invincible, unaffected by Swords or Arrows. As with most Armos statues in the game, many other statues in the dungeon will not come to life, but later in the dungeon, six Armos Knights will appear already active in a large room. They stomp around in synchronized jumps a large circle around the room, very similar to the boss from | This variation of the Armos Knight appears in the [[Desert Temple (Four Swords Adventures)|Desert Temple]], the second stage in the [[Desert of Doubt]] in {{FSA}}.

They stomp around in synchronized jumps a large circle around the room, very similar to the boss from {{ALttP|-}}, although they will not actively attack the four Links. The room itself also has [[Beamos]] throughout, and acts as a deadly puzzle. Once the four Links light all the torches in the room using Arrows, the Armos Knights will be destroyed. | ||
Two big [[Armos]] will appear in [[Hyrule Castle]] earlier in the game, but these are simply very large normal Armos and can be defeated easily with a sword. | Two big [[Armos]] will appear in [[Hyrule Castle]] earlier in the game, but these are simply very large normal Armos and can be defeated easily with a sword. | ||
