The '''Accursed Swordbearer''' is a unique variant of the [[Swordbearer]] that appears only in the [[Pit of Heresy]] alongside [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment]]. They are special lieutenants of the [[Hive]] champion who are also vital in being able to vanquish the Instrument of Torment.

Accursed Swordbearers will spawn periodically throughout the Necropolis and Cradle of Damnation encounters at the command of [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment]], with a sole purpose of overwhelming [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]]. The player must defeat these Swordbearers to use the Cleavers they drop in order to destroy the various entities around the arenas: the [[Might of the Broken Blade]], the [[Omen of the Broken Blade]], and the [[Oracle of the Broken Blade]]. The player must melee, snipe, or reflect according to each of the mini-bosses respectively.

*The Accursed Swordbearer bears a striking resemblance to [[Sardok, Eye of Oryx]].

*Ever since [[Beyond Light]] had released, many uniquely titled enemies were renamed to their basic naming, such as the [[Knight Echo|Knight Echoes]] and the [[Jamming Servitor]]s being renamed to "[[Ravenous Taken Knight]]" and just [[Servitor]], The Accursed Swordbearers were no exception and were renamed. However they were just renamed to "Heretical Knight"

**There are [[Heretical Knight|enemies]] within the Dungeon whom are also titled: "Heretical Knights", which have been in the game since the Dungeon came out, and are very different from the Accursed Swordbearers in both appearance and gameplay.

**There are also a few Accursed Swordbearers that still retain their naming in some parts of the [[Dungeon]].
