Undead Crystal Soldiers are an enemy type in Dark Souls.
Location
They are encountered in The Duke's Archives.
Description
The Undead Crystal Soldier is a reskin of the common Hollow. They have dark blue, frozen-like skin with crystal shards incrusted throughout their bodies and can be encountered wielding either a Crystal Straight Sword and Caduceus Kite Shield or a Longbow. They are considerably tougher and more resistant to damage than most of their counterparts, though they are much more sluggish than most undead.
