Marrow Fiend

The Marrow Fiend is a large enemy introduced in the first update of Infinity Blade I and found throughout the entirety of the Infinity Blade Trilogy. Its weapon is the Marrow and its shield is the Osseous. Both are very possibly made from the bones of previously defeated enemies. The Marrow Fiend is the first Fiend type of enemy to be introduced, and many enemies down the line would adopt the title of fiend.
==Location Infinity Blade I==
The Marrow Fiend can be randomly encountered at The River, The Outer Gate, and the Central Stairway. He can also be fought in round 13 of Survival Mode. And can be played in the new discontinued Multiplayer Mode, after the Horned Guardian. 
==Infinity Blade II==
The Marrow Fiend appears in nearly identical state to how they appear in Infinity Blade I, down to the same sounds.
==Combat Infinity Blade I and II== 
The Marrow Fiend is a slow moving Large Enemy, with a similar fighting style to other large enemies. The Marrow Fiend is slightly faster then some of his other Large Titan counterparts. The Marrow Fiend's most dangerous trait is his shield bashes, which can go right through your guard. But the Marrow Fiend otherwise has no unique traits or abilities. 
Jump back Swing Around
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback the Marrow Fiend jumps back, before spinning and delivering a slash from the right, and then the left.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways, the most optimal is to dodge to the right, and then, right before the Marrow Fiend follows up with his second attack, a stab Icon will appear on his side, allowing you to interrupt his Stepback, and deal extra damage. Alternatively, you can dodge to the right, and then left, to avoid his two attacks respectively. If you're having trouble with either of these then holding shield will also work, it's just the least efficient sense it will give you the least amount of time to strike back, and Marrow Fiend can still deal damage sense if he has elemental attacks, provided you don't have a corresponding elemental defense shield.

Gore Rush 1
Analysis	Analysis	Analysis
In this Stepback Marrow Fiend retreats before charging at the player, attempting to skewer them with his mohawk by attacking the center. After the charge Marrow Fiend follows up with a slash from the left.
This Stepback can be avoided in multiple ways. The most optimal is to dodge in any direction to avoid the charge, then dodge to then parry the left swinf by swiping to the left. Alternatively, one can dodge to in any direction to avoid the charge, then dodge to the left to avoid the follow up swing. Shielding is not advisable here, as Marrow Fiend's charge can go through your guard, so if you are going to shield, make sure that you time it well, and have a corresponding elemental defense (if he has elemental attacks), so the Marrow Fiend doesn't break your blocks.

===Combat tips Infinity Blade I and II===
The Marrow Fiend is a Large Titan, the Marrow Fiend has a relatively fast fighting style and deals high damaging attacks, fighting nearly similarly to other large titans. However as mentioned earlier he is the only thing to really look out for are his charge and shield bashes, which can do significant damage and can go through sheilds, but the Marrow Fiend while being faster than most is still slow enough that you can easily/parry/shield out of all of his attacks. 
===Infinity Blade III ===
Unlike most enemies Infinity Blade III, the Marrow Fiend wields the same weapons that he had in Infinity Blade I and II, additionally, he cannot be disarmed, so you will never fight a Dual Wielding Marrow Fiend. However, he is not exactly the same as he was in the previous games. The Marrow Fiend has new combat moves, such as a quick headbutt and sidekick. He is overall much more acrobatic than in the previous two titles. 
==Trivia==
*The Marrow, a light weapon, is implied to be made from the corpse of a Marrow Fiend. However, for some reason, the Marrow Fiend himself wields this weapon.
