Banedigger (Mounted Overseer) is an enemy in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). Atop gigantic monstrosities capable of exerting tremendous amounts of dark power, weak overseers known as Banediggers watch over the Laborers of Harvest Valley. The mounts share more similarities with demonic steeds than anything humanoid. Enemies have their own behavior and unique attacks, killing enemies provide various drops that reward players with items and souls.
Banedigger (Mounted Overseer) Information in Dark Souls 2
"From atop gigantic monstrosoties capable of exerting tremendous amounts of dark power, weak overseers watch over the Laborers of Harvest Valley. The mounts have as much in common with demonic steeds as anything humanoid.
The giant and the rider is counted as a whole piece of entity rather than two seperated entities, generally it shoots a dark orb projectile (but it isn't a hex, therefore cannot be silenced with Profound Still), if you're getting too close, it'll use melee attacks instead, oddly you can use it to break barricades, with the help of Yearn spell."

AnonymousEver been one shot by these dudes? They have a really good chance at getting a headshot on you with that dark orb when you fight them on ground level.

Killed around 1050 of these to drop 27 sunlight medals (mostly killed the two near the second bonfire and repeated, having burned an ascetic, so NG+) with Jester, Tatters, Covetous +1, and the occasional rusted coin (which helped a lot since it's +100 discovery), so a ~2.5% chance for a medal. Probably has a drop rate close to 1~2% without a coin. Using SoA and Watchdragon would net +100 item discovery which is equivalent to having a coin at all times

The person who thought it was a good Idea to put one of these aholes in a tiny narrow place where you can't evade their projectiles that also will most likely one-shot you if you don't have a ton of health and dark damage negation should kindly go step on legos

I don't know what you crazy people are talking about. Symbol of avarice + Prisoners tatters + Covetous+1 + Watchdragon parma = 1 Medal after 113 kills. Sunlight spear and thus the miracles achievement is nigh impossible now. Am I missing something? (non-SOTFS, NG).

Step 1: join Champions covenant. Step 2: equip your lootsuit (go for Jester hat because using Avarice in the poison cloud is a terrible idea). Step 3: kill the 3 near the Mines Bonfire with hard hitting Pyromancy or Sorcery for a few hours. (Despite being "rare" drops Sunlight medals will usually appear at least once every 3-8 runs).

These guys look really cool, but in combat they are kinda lame. Almost all they do is shoot slow dark balls.

Man ***** farming these things, pushing for 100% right now and i'm STILL not done
Is anyone interested do some Sunbro Co-op? I play on both PC (SOTFS) and on PS3 (Vanilla). I have several characters in different levels, from low ones till 17 million soul memory. My nick on PC is: King_Havel And on PS3 is: Dastiefeleid666 Praise the Sun! \o/
It seems like getting any of the enemies who can drop sunlight medals is almost impossible before the enemy stops respawning and you need to use a bonfire ascetic

The two drops are incredibly rare in my experience, and the "can't shoot up" thing is only true in the original version of the game. In SotFS, they can aim up at you when you're on the cliff next to the Stone Trader.

The can't aim up thing is complete bull****. They can aim up just fine and have one-shotted me many times by doing just that whilst I was farming for Sunlight Medals for the Master of Miracles Trophy
