Encountered In
Royal Guards are the first of the three armored rider-type enemies, and the least dangerous. Their six attacks aren't terribly dangerous, but they do inflict Poison. Two physical attacks should be able to take one of these down. They do have a fair chance to drop powerful Poison Axes, though unless you have two axe-wielders this won't be terribly useful as you'll find one early in the Cyclone.
