Description[]
Ministry Scouts are enemy NPCs that can be found in Minityrsa, patrolling Outpost Antumbra. There are about nine Ministry Scouts: four patrolling outside, five inside. Curiously, they also gather around Summer Isle, whether to murder members of The Children of Navae or massacre bandits.
A Ministry Scout's appearance consists of a Vagabond's Bicorn, either a Blindfold or Crimson Blindfold and a Prophet's Cloak outfit with their aspect varying.

Tips[]
- Always watch your blood bar while fighting these enemies, as it can get low very fast.
- Despite being immune to assassination, the player can still sneak behind and use a powerful mantra to pile up some good damage.
- It's recommended to farm Ministry scouts as soon as you are done with the Trial of One, as they are a valuable and easy source of exp in early-game.
- Their Shadow Assault is heavy damaging and hard to parry or dodge, it also deals an unholy amount of posture damage when blocked so it's suggested to be parried or dodged as soon as the mantra sound is heard.
Trivia[]
- Every NPC except the other members of The Ministry are hostile towards them.
- When gripped by a Gran Sudaruska, the spirit of Sudaruska will speak.
- For what ever reason they have a chance to say "behold my magic spell" a slight chance they will say it.
