My first guesses are that they're either A) live Prometheans encased in war sphinx-like suits of armor (possibly shriveled due to hibernation, hence the little "organic" arms sticking out) or B) dead Prometheans that have been converted by the Composer/something else into machines [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 22:14, 17 September 2012 (EDT) | My first guesses are that they're either A) live Prometheans encased in war sphinx-like suits of armor (possibly shriveled due to hibernation, hence the little "organic" arms sticking out) or B) dead Prometheans that have been converted by the Composer/something else into machines [[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 22:14, 17 September 2012 (EDT) | ||

:I just played Halo 4 (my cousin got it recently) and no matter how many times I shot a Promethean Knight's head with a Lightrifle, it JUST, WOULDN'T, DIE! [[Special:Contributions/98.155.159.178|98.155.159.178]] 03:27, 31 December 2012 (EST) | |||
I was going to add this but apparently I'm not the only one who's confused. My current theory is that they need to open their head after you break their shields before you can headshot them. However, I'm not sure how you can get them to do that, and I think I've killed them with closed masks before. So seriously, has anyone figured this out yet? Always use the DMR.

== Energy Shielding? == | |||
They have them, right? I see their orange bodies flicker blue when I attack them. [[Special:Contributions/98.155.159.178|98.155.159.178]] 03:43, 31 December 2012 (EST) | |||
:Yes, they most certainly do have shields. Something stops the projectile/beam from being a one-shot instant kill when I fire on them with a sniper rifle, particle beam rifle or a binary rifle. First shot cracks and breaks their shields, second shot is the follow-up killing blow. One-two strike! --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 13:02, 30 January 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
==Just Wondering: Hardlight Blade== | |||
Hey, everyone, I was kinda thinking and wondering, does the Knight's hardlight blade weapons need its own separate article? I mean, I kinda think it would be a good idea if we did, seeing as we can go little bit more into detail of the weapon's function, how it works, and any other necessary information fans might want to know. I can do it, but before I did I just wanted to know everyone else thought. So, any thoughts or objections? --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 13:02, 30 January 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
:No objections here. Although, as of now, the article would be sort of redundant since it is essentially an extension of the Knights themselves. Much like the claw is for the Flood-infected Spartans. Just my opinion though, but hey, go for it.'''-{{User|Killjax}}''' | |||
::You're probably right. Does seem fairly pointless and redundant. Besides, there really isn't much information to be given other than what we already know. Still, doesn't hurt to ask.

== 30,000 lbs? == | |||
Who changed their weight to reflect this? It seems we have a troll, as they also listed them as 26 feet tall, and the Librarian as 24 feet tall and weighing 1,000 pounds.[[User:Ocean Soul|Ocean Soul]] ([[User talk:Ocean Soul|talk]]) 21:18, 16 November 2013 (EST) | |||

== Disintegration? == | |||
When a Knight kills a biological using any of the Forerunner, does the biological disintegrate? This is not covered in the article or any other Forerunner weapon articles, save for the F-shotgun and F-rocket launcher.— [[User:Hacame|<span style="color:#6699FF; font-family:Futura; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold;">Ha</span>]][[User talk:Hacame|<span style="color:#6699FF; font-family:Futura; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold;">came</span>]] 10:59, 25 July 2014 (EDT) | |||
:The only weapons that disintegrate organic enemies are the Scattershot, Binary Rifle, and Incineration cannon. If the Promethean Knight is using a Lightrifle or Suppressor than no the organic target will not become corn flakes.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith-venator Wavingstrider</span>]] [[File:Fett helmet.jpg|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Commlink</span>]]) 12:03, 25 July 2014 (EDT) | |||
:: and pulse grenades. Knights have grenade launcher joint things. Their sword arm folds the sword and from the joint, launches a pulse grenade. So even if they don't have total incinerating weapons, they can still mop up. Remember when Cortana says that the flood re gathering bodies in the corners in CE? That would be a good time for knights to mop up. [[User:Erickyboo|Erickyboo]] ([[User talk:Erickyboo|talk]]) 13:16, 25 July 2014 (EDT) | |||
== Do Knights die or do they get digitally recycled== | |||
It has occurred to me that when you destroy a Knight, and its light fades away they're gone, but are they gone for good, or they're souls/cores are uploaded to some kind of Forerunner system just to be reconstructed and deployed to fight and repeat the cycle, or am I just mistaken, please any comments will be welcomed.{{Unsigned|Trooper1173}} | |||
:Cortana says, pretty explicitly, that the effect is caused by hardlight data transfer. Presumably, therefore, that data is being transferred somewhere - I can't imagine why else, but to be used to occupy and motivate new Promethean shells. We haven't seen anywhere on Requiem that made Promethean bodies, not to mention the fact that even if we had Requiem tumbled into a star, but Jul 'Mdama seems to have a pretty healthy supply of them, and has apparently added [[Armiger Soldier|some new ones to their ranks.]] They had to come from somewhere. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:45, 9 July 2015 (EDT) | |||
