Forgotten warrior

Forgotten warriors are monsters found in Daemonheim. They attack exclusively with melee and possess a variety of combat levels and different armour depending on their levels. They typically drop 2 pieces of the armour they are wearing (e.g. one wearing Argonite armour may drop 2 pieces of Argonite equipment), but may also drop anywhere from all of their armour to none at all. They usually have high melee stats but fairly low life points. They are much tougher than their combat level suggests; level 80+ Forgotten warriors can easily hit frequent 200s or higher on players wearing no armour, and warriors over level 100 can even hit upwards of 300. They also have high melee and ranged defence, and even the highest-tiered melee and ranged weapons will have trouble hitting them. However, warriors that are much weaker than the player can be taken down without much difficulty. As they are typical melee creatures, using magic against Forgotten warriors is highly effective, even while wearing a full set of metal armour yourself. It is very useful to use a frostbite dagger or hailstorm dagger against high levelled warriors, due to the daggers doing magic damage as well with melee damage. The magic damage increases if you have a flameburst defender.

It is generally believed that they can only drop the armour and weapon pieces that they wear or wield. For example, a warrior wearing platelegs and wielding a battleaxe could only drop those two items. A warrior wearing a full helm, platebody, platelegs, and maul could drop all of those pieces of equipment. A warrior wearing tier 6+ equipment will NOT drop fractite (tier 5) equipments in free world. This is a common misconception that many believe. The maximum amount of items a warrior can drop is 7 (everything, shield, helm, etc.)

Even on free worlds, warriors with armour such as primal and gorgonite will still have the bonus of their high tiered armour, and should be skipped unless in the critical path. If you must fight them, remember that they still possess the weaknesses of their armour (most likely magic and crush).

Forgotten warriors of varying levels can be summoned by the Mercenary leader, but will eventually teleport out. The Forgotten warriors will only be of varied levels depending on their Mercenary leader's level. If the leader's level is around 26-43, you will be encountering tier 2 (Bathus) warriors.They are statistically identical to any other forgotten warrior of similar level, but only drop bones if killed. These are the most dangerous opponents summoned by the mercenary leader, as they hit considerably higher for their level than mages or rangers.

In a 5:5 large dungeon, multiple high-tier forgotten warriors can be encountered in one room, making it very dangerous to fight without Protect from Melee. Sometimes, there may also be forgotten rangers or forgotten mages of a similar tier in the same room, which can cause quick deaths if the player does not watch their life points. In some rooms, there can be even up to two tier 11 warriors in the same room, causing players to watch their health if below 960 due to their high damage.

With all melee monsters, ranging them is not recommended. One is their armor, which will soak up most of the damage. Another one is that if you are ranging from a safe spot, they with other melee monsters will back up to force you out of your safe spot.

You are able to play as a Forgotten Warrior during the second Dungeoneering saga.

Trivia

 * During the 2010 Christmas event, some forgotten warriors were seen wearing a scarf and/or a santa hat. Female characters could also be seen with mistletoe in their hair.
 * When teleporting after being summoned by a mercenary leader, they use the animation for the gatestone teleport. This also applies to forgotten rangers and forgotten mages.
 * It is implied in the Vengeance saga that Forgotten Warriors are Fremennik that have become lost within Daemonheim.
 * In the last saga from Skaldun, Thok calls them "Weaker then Thok, Girly Warrior, Coward in Armor, etc."
 * The Forgotten Warriors in Thok It To 'Em the warriors are in the 80's, but unusally have Promethium armor on.
 * On the second saga from Skaldun, the Forgotten Warriors have the combat level for those wearing Katagon, though 3 of the Forgotten Warriors use Bathus armor, and the other one uses Marmaros/Fractite armor and weapons.
 * Rarely, a Forgotten Warrior (Novite), does not have any helm on, which is unusal as their other higher levelled counterparts always have full helms on.
 * Even though a Shadow Silk Hood makes you invisible to all but mages and necromancers, Forgotten Warriors may occasionally ignore the hood's effects and attack you even if the hood is on. This is a glitch, and has not been fixed.
 * The Forgotten Warrior in Thok It To 'Em is the only Forgotten Warrior in Dungeoneering that talks.
