Ashen Knight Boyd Information in Dark Souls 2
- Ashen knight Boyd is a Royal Soldier, Much like Masterless Glencour.
- Good at distracting Duke's Dear Freja during the boss fight as well as dealing a good chunk of damage provided if he does not hit her shell. Also very useful for taking care of the spiders.
- Unlike most other royal soldiers encountered, Boyd Wields an Estoc, instead of the traditional Shield and spear
- Is capable of healing himself but not a huge amount (It heals just as the Estus, but significantly weaker)
- Glitch: When summoning him for the fight against Freja, he runs to you right away rather than starting from the "standing up" animation the moment he spawns as a summon
- In SotFS: When summoned against the Looking Glass Knight, he seems to take advantage of the Estoc's shield piercing ability when attacking the shield-side of the Looking Glass Knight and can also sometimes instantly attacks and even backstabs recently-spawned player Mirror Squires, especially while they are still stuck waiting for the loading screen to finish

Wonder if his title "Ashen Knight" is a hint toward Dark Souls III?

Freya is a horrid fight in ng+ you get easily gangbanged not to mention great sword user constantly bounce off her mandibles.
He throwed himself in front of glass knight and stole aggro at the final moment and died when benhart and I dealt the final blow to glass knight.
This man deserves a military salute. He died but his sacrifice will remain eternal, although just the way before shrine of amana, I also died there
