Black Knife Assassin is an enemy in Elden Ring.
Overview[]
A group of assassins who were responsible for the murder of Godwyn the Golden on the Night of Black Knives, using blades imbued with the power of death[1] in a ritual performed by Ranni the Witch.[2] They used Concealing Veils to hide their presence, rendering them effectively invisible.
The assassins are all women, and are believed to be Numen with close ties to Queen Marika.[3] They are also said to have been scions of the Eternal City.[4]
Presently, they are scattered throughout the Lands Between, and can be found in many different regions.

Background[]
This assassin hides deep within the Catacombs. Uniquely, her health bar has already been partially depleted before the player arrives so that she starts at 60% HP. She drops the Assassin's Crimson Dagger, a Talisman which allows the player to recover HP after performing a critical hit.

As well as dropping the Assassin's Cerulean Dagger, which allows the player to recover FP from critical hits, she also leaves behind a Black Knifeprint, which can be given to Sorcerer Rogier to progress his questline.
D, Hunter of the Dead can be summoned for this fight.
