Description[]
Stone Knights, also known as Desert Knights, Sand Knights, or Moss Knights, are a type of Giant Monster encountered primarily in The Starswept Valley.
Blizzard Knights are a far stronger version of the Stone Knight, spawning in a pack of 6 in The Valley of Heroes during Winter, introduced as a trap by Aelita telling you to "come back during the winter for more fun".
Moss Knights are similar to Desert Knights, spawning in singles in Bluster Rift. This monster only spawns in Vow of Iron.
Moon Knights are stronger and contain a few unique moves. Star Knight is almost the same, but instead is a very rare encounter that guaranteed drops an Astral Enchant Stone and contains a meteorite that immediately grants a Resonance.

Tips[]
- Usually after every move, you can get 1-2 basic attacks off, unless they use the single swing, in which only go for one.
- In order to dodge the Terra Eruption, do a full dodge instead of a roll cancel.
- All of the Stone Knight's moves can be dodged with little consequence, with the exception of the double slash.
- The Blizzard Knight spawns only as a pack of 6, thus it is recommended to slowly fight them one at a time rather than risk being infinitely stunned.
- You can right-click after getting kick or hit with Terra Eruption to cancel the ragdoll.

Trivia[]
- Stone Knights are artificial and are thus not affected by the "Mute" Regalia and will still attack if they spot you.
- Stone Knights and Blizzard Knights are very hostile towards most mobs and will target them.
- They have a 360 degrees detection range.
- During the early stages of the The Diluvian Mechanism's release, multiple Blizzard Knights were able to spawn corrupted as early as the third wave in, boasting a ridiculous 27000 health. The patch note following this replaced them with uncorrupted Stone Knights.
- Stone Knights can actually swim in water, however it makes their moves way harder to react to, so be careful when fighting them in water.
- Blizzard Knights will under no circumstance fight a Rogue Construct, instead choosing to team up on you.
- The animations and model of the Stone Knight were overhauled on the January 11th, 2025 Update.
- Note: They are extremely likely to animation bug with attacks just being outright hidden at times.
- Sand Knights were most likely Moss Knights, gradually turning into a Sand Knight as the desert winds blew.
