Falconer (Hollow Falconer) Information
"Falconers are mercenaries from the city of Volgen, usually hired as bodyguards for the elite. The ones found in the fields, however, are hollow, and have no sense of their former duties
Falconers are equipped with swords, bows, and a falcon that can attack the player. They draw their swords at close range, fire arrows at long range, and send falcons at mid-range
Players must deal with multiple falconers at once when starting NG+, so players would do well to prevent getting surrounded by them"

If DS2 ever had a remaster then the first thing would be making those guys' movements make sense. I can't take it, he just skied on the ground, bahahahaha*cough cough*.
Also their arrows are still better than DS1 arrows, I say. They are still less homing than those shitty homing arrows.

One of them just backstabbed me while I was facing him turning me 180 all while I still had my shield up. And the best thing, He chainbackstabbed me, meaning He did it twice in a row. That Falconer was a DS1 PvP god!

The tracking technology on their arrows would make Chinese missile scientists jealous.

These things are genuinely some of the most broken things I've ever seen in a video game, they run like they've just **** themselves, fire teleporting arrows, have a bullshit parry with no windup animation, seem to have no idea where they're even going half the time. Looking at these poor deranged things makes you understand why Aldia just wants to end everyone's suffering.

These guys work at the Ministry of Silly Walks in their spare time.

Odd question maybe. Do you need to be in the sunlight covenent for them to drop the medals, or can you be in CoC to make sure they never despawn while farming for them? Offline mode only right now due to poor internet :(

Should be a major update pointing out that they populate the royal army campsite right at the start of Brightstone Cove Tseldora, and are encountered in Shaded Woods headed to the Shrine of Winter from the second bonfire. Both in standard NG. Don't know if it's unique to SotFS though.

why do they shoot multiple arrows every once in a while? why does it play the bow sound multiple times, even if they don't shoot multiple arrows? why do they move like a cartoon character?

I'll never understand why they're fully shielded during some of their attack animations. Maybe it's so hard to tell because their shield is so tiny and would never protect someone in reality
Can we make our arrows heat-seeking like theirs? When they shoot two they literally curve in the air and predict where you will end up with your roll

I feel bad for these enemies in Sotfs, their movement looks so weird, also they have a shield attack that turns you around an performs a backstab, it all looks so weird

They are first encountered in the fields of Things Betwixt immediately after starting NG+ / Journey #2.
Wtf?
Understandable that these dudes barely appear in the original (good) version of the game
