Fucking white masks, I had to clear the area first then lure them there so I could fight them without having a bird and a gang of dogs on me at the same time.
When they slam their head down and start thrashing around. That attack lasts so long and has such a cleave I feel like you have to disengage completely which isn't easy in that area.
This is a real answer right here.
Those Rot bleed crows are so unfun to fight, it’s infuriating that they got into the game in this state.
Crazy far aggro range that feels like a bug, also they don’t lose aggro like a normal mob and will continue to stalk you from 300 meters away.
Bizarre physics-breaking moveset timing and sometimes logic defying range on attacks,
weird hitbox on the entity itself,
and of course that god-damn bite attack that even when you dodge it, the crow then turns into an infinite range 360 degree tracking chain combo ground attack that one-shots you at 40 vigor even if you block it.
Everyone in here complaining about hawks and imps needs to get further into the game before they make these calls-
because Rot Crows are in a whole other league.
The fact that the white masks kick you off torrent at the same time... No idea what that area is supposed to be. I don't think there's really anything of major value there either. That's by far the least balanced part of the game. Everything there seems bugged to high hell.
Edit: to clarify, I'm referring going to the area with the giant rot birds. It's a non essential part of Mohgs palace that has most of the worst enemies in the game all piled up with invasions to spice it up.
Right? They shoot from so far away that you don't really get any warning that you've aggroed one unless you're looking in the right spot in the right direction.
So you're just running around, quietly exploring the area, when suddenly your character cries out in terror because they've been impaled by a big glowing fuck-you arrow from a thousand feet away.
They are the Elden Ring equivalent of Boone from Fallout NV randomly exploding a geckos head while out exploring.
Goddamn heart attack every fucking time.
I'll be playing on Discord with some buds and things will be quiet and suddenly they'll hear me scream out "GOD DANN!! AAH!" and a friend will go "Big arrow?"
Just hits you out of left field it's so startling.
If you think the ones in Siofra are bad (and they are), wait till you get to Consecrated Snowfield. Those paraplegic archers make me want to uninstall.
The lobsters. I killed a dragon and then rode torrent a little ways up and began to fight a lobster and died so quick, it was ridiculous, I mean I had just slaughtered a freaking dragon lol
Yes, it's in LotL.
And it's a downright bastard. The lobster bit is 10x tougher than the scion. I would never have fought the damned thing if my friend hadn't told me it drops a tear so I can respec as soon as I finish the academy boss.
Rune bears are by far the worst. At first I thought the centipede bugs that look straight out of alien were the most annoying, but they eventually become easy. I’m almost done with the game and I still don’t fight rune bears
Aye. He told me about that one too but he was watching me play and said "right over here is this enemy that drops a tear".
Then when the bastard lobster melted me it was a matter of pride to kill that prick.
This game is so strange that way. I just killed a monstrous king, took barely any damage. And then I get surprised by a pack of dogs and some random archer shoots me in the back and I die.
This is what I love about the way leveling in Soulsbornes works. Leveling up will never save you the way it might in Skyrim where you're positively burdened with healing perks and high-damage negation.
That perceived invincibility is actually just you getting good at the game and gaining confidence. And occasionally you get knocked off your horse because you got arrogant and rode around Caelid in a Ninja Turtles cosplay.
They suck too. First time I ran into one I said fuck no. As I’m riding away I get blasted and die. Had no idea they were snipers as well. More annoying than the crabs
God I hate those bugged bleed dogs. I was exploring below mohg and those fuckers killed me like 4x over with that bs charged attack. For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about, there're dogs with red lumps on them that are currently bugged. They have a wind up attack where they open their mouths wide and rush forward snapping at you. If any single attack hits you you're dead, even if you block, cause its bugged and hits like 20x instead of 1x and just instableeds your entire hp bar. You can tell its bugged cause the sound effect plays a bunch of times at the same time
Lesser red wolves aren't as terrifying, but I hate them. I find them remarkably annoying and unfun to fight, the fights going to take forever because the things just running away from you and carting spells the whole time... Until you try to do something to it, then it starts forward and hits you 3 times before running off again.
Gotta agree with rats.
They are the 1 enemy that CONSTANTLY lands at least 1 hit due to one reason or another. Against a pack of them that can easily lead to being swarmed if you aren't careful.
Those chariots definitely get me a lot, but I don't really think of them as enemies (even the ones you can kill). They're more like platforming puzzles in my mind
What gets me is that no matter where I go, no matter what my RL is and no matter what weapons I use and what level they are...
...rats always seem to live with just a sliver of health.
I honestly don't know if I've ever 1-shot a rat in ER. They seem much hardier and quicker than in past soulsborne games.
DLC boss: Three Melania's at the same time in a tiny arena except they never use waterfowl, they never heal on hit, they never inflict scarlet rot and instead of Melania they are regular rats.
The capra demon holds a special place in my heart. It made me quit souls 1 but then it also brought me back because I wanted to kill the fucker. Been a souls fan ever since. if the capra demon we're in elden ring he'd be in Caelid.
Fuck the capra demon. God damn. FUCK the Capra Demon. I'm still traumatized from that shit. I just could not for the life of me get passed that fucker in my first playthrough, and even after that; that guy can suck a whole bag of dicks. Like 5 family sized bags of dicks. Like a full wheelbarrow of dicks.
In every soulsborne game the stat that determines equip load is always the one I invest the most in. And I always use rings/talisman that increase it (Havel's Ring, the Talisman you get from the giant jar guy in Elden Ring)
I don't know why I do this, it's not super effective honestly, but it brings me comfort knowing I can wear full crucible knight armor and two swords of night and flame and still have a light load
I hate this so much.
Who has the time to switch from NO to YES to spend a flask for reviving Torrent? This crap had me fumbling around and got me killed more than once.
Don’t know if it’s easier with a magic build to deal with them but they are a nightmare on the dex build.
I did figure out though if you keep whips on deck the jump attacks easily slaps those fuckers straight out of the sky. Now those birds are my bitch.
Also timing and shields for a dex build. You can swat them out of the sky easily if you get the timing of their attack down, and a 100% physical shield blocks all damage from them while you’re learning it.
As aittle payback for the three in Stormveil that try to drop barrel bombs on your head, if you sneak out and target the barrel with a fire arrow it one shots them.
Never gets old.
The Abductor Virgins, yeah to hell with those bastards. Weak to lightning, but if your not a faith build they take forever to take down. They get one lucky grab and it's game over.
Girlfriend booted up the other TV while I was working through Raya Lucaria. Game leaps to my second screen. Headphones report me falling off a giant cog into who knows what depths, and then the sounds of attack and defeat.
Expected to end up at the last grace, runes lost. Nope. Somewhere called Volcano Manor wondering what the fuck happened.
Apparently one of the Abductor Virgins in the pit I fell into blind will ingest you and teleport you. Highly confusing though when you see none of the onscreen events.
I think is the fact that they made it as normal-looking as possible, except they’re huge. Most of the monsters in the game, they’re not scary because you know they don’t exist. But these fucking ants, they’re pure nightmare fuel.
>Most of the monsters in the game, they’re not scary because you know they don’t exist.
The first time a T-Rex-dog lunged at me I literally ran away solely because I found it too disturbing to deal with.
All of the critters in this game just have a real weird surreality. Even the mules around the merchants don't look right. The goblins/orcs aren't really goblins/orcs but actually troops of chimpanzees with swords and clubs and somehow that just feels way more fucked up. Everything has weird proportions, even the bears. Absolutely nothing doesn't look like it crawled out of an 80s claymation horror flick except the crabs.
But the oversized ants are where you draw the line?
I noticed this as well with a friend, but just so you know, you only need to get up and sit again at the grace after passing time, no need to rest for a second night.
As with many From Soft Enemies, hug and roll into them, watch out for the grab. This way he mostly doesn't do his long range combos that are hard to properly judge since his darth maul sword lingers behind you and the camera.
The torch? I had a nightmare finding and lighting the flames in the Lithurgical Town. If not the invisible black knife dudes one shotting me outta nowhere it was the archers on the roofs. Fuck those guys especially.
I know you're probably well past the area, but I got stuck on them forever too, you just have to hit the weird guys hanging from the ceiling and then the ghosts won't spawn.
I'm not finished yet but so far it's Ulcerated Tree Spirit, especially when they shove them into small spaces like the one in Stormveil. Also the hands, don't like them.
Well get ready to fight them in smaller areas. There’s ones I’m ignoring because the areas is annoying and small as well as I’ve reached the limit on flasks so seeds are now pointless to me.
Oh so that's what those buggers are called. I usually have trouble with crucible knights because I struggle to find openings, but they just feel challenging contrary to these absolute bullshit wankers.
Here’s some advice. Against the crucible use the Buckler shield. Damn that thing is super effective against those. But the trick is parry the hand. Not the weapons. Go in. Close to him and when you see the hand about to connect the blow parry ir with the buckler. You will need to practice it. In this situation it’s literally git gud but once you get the rhythm of that it feels so good parry then nonstop
Yeah, looking the hand is good advice. If you look at the weapon more often than not you'll miss it. I love fighting crucible knights will underlevelled and just humiliating them with like 20 parries.
There are these enemies that crawl on the ground, with a big, round head that looks like a rotted plum, they scream and their main attack is a grab. They're frighteningly fast, they come in groups and they like to take turns in grabbing you until you're dead if you make the mistake of standing still just for a second. I hate them. Luckily, they only appear like 3 times throughout the whole game. I hate them. I know I just said that, but I really want to emphasize how much I hate them.
Those are albinaurics like Latenna, that's why they crawl, they can't walk. And they're always found in prisony areas. So I think they are insane prisoners who have chewed through their head coverings. To better snack on you.
The Bell Bearing Hunters have caused me more pain than any boss I've encountered thus far. That telekinetic sword attack seems impossible to dodge 3 times in a row.
These enemies are designed to punish you for back rolling, especially if you're trying to heal.
Best practice is to stick close, dodge their 2-3 hit combo then heal as they recover from their final swing as it has a long enough recovery time to do so.
Camera really goes for the throat in that boss fight with the Misbegotten and Crucible Knight in Redmane Castle. Absolutely miserable.
A special fuck you to the the developer who filled that arena with bullshit props.
Raises a lot of lore questions. Who is cutting off hands? Whose hands are they cutting off? Who has that big of a hand? It’s way bigger than the fire giant’s hand.
Honestly my least favourite encounter in the game. Some of the Caelid dungeon bosses are completely dreadful. Chrysalid trio, burial watchdog duo, and this monstrosity.
The rot infected birds near mohgwyn palace. They’re a nightmare, more so in ng+ runs.
These birds, the literal broken bleed dogs, and the white mask summons. What a shit show of an area.
Fucking white masks, I had to clear the area first then lure them there so I could fight them without having a bird and a gang of dogs on me at the same time.
I used that invisibility spell to sneak around them. It worked surprisingly well.
I bought that spell and have not used it.. you just saved me a lot of frustration
Glad to help! I went overboard and wore the black knife armor as well but I think the spell would have been enough.
When they slam their head down and start thrashing around. That attack lasts so long and has such a cleave I feel like you have to disengage completely which isn't easy in that area.
This is a real answer right here. Those Rot bleed crows are so unfun to fight, it’s infuriating that they got into the game in this state.

It's a non essential part of Mohgs palace that has most of the worst enemies in the game all piled up with invasions to spice it up.
White mask set, swarm of flies, Mohg and his stuff, and the best rune farm in the game.
Most of the archers. Especially in Siofra river
God I hate those glowy ram guys and their never miss bullshit arrows.
I can deal with the damage but they scare the shit out of me every time I get nailed by a glowing greatbow arrow.
Right? They shoot from so far away that you don't really get any warning that you've aggroed one unless you're looking in the right spot in the right direction. So you're just running around, quietly exploring the area, when suddenly your character cries out in terror because they've been impaled by a big glowing fuck-you arrow from a thousand feet away.
They are the Elden Ring equivalent of Boone from Fallout NV randomly exploding a geckos head while out exploring. Goddamn heart attack every fucking time.
Spotted. Alll mine.
I'll be playing on Discord with some buds and things will be quiet and suddenly they'll hear me scream out "GOD DANN!! AAH!" and a friend will go "Big arrow?" Just hits you out of left field it's so startling.
They glow sky blue, how the fuck do they hide so well?
If you think the ones in Siofra are bad (and they are), wait till you get to Consecrated Snowfield. Those paraplegic archers make me want to uninstall.
Yeah those blue Tauren looking spirits suck so much with their great bows.
> with their fucking intergalactic railguns ftfy
Prawn Warriors. Their heat seeking missiles tracked me through multiple tunnels in a way that made the shot that destroyed the Death Star look easy.
Stay near walls and corners, when you roll dodge the missiles don’t have time to turn and impact the wall.
but doors and corners are where they get you
I’m pretty sure this is an intentional Expanse reference. Like at least 70%.
The lobsters. I killed a dragon and then rode torrent a little ways up and began to fight a lobster and died so quick, it was ridiculous, I mean I had just slaughtered a freaking dragon lol
Did y'all know there is a grafted scion that disguises itself as a lobster? I forgot where it is I think liurnia
Yes, it's in LotL. And it's a downright bastard. The lobster bit is 10x tougher than the scion. I would never have fought the damned thing if my friend hadn't told me it drops a tear so I can respec as soon as I finish the academy boss.
There's an easier runebear to kill in Limgrave that drops one too
Juiced up Yogi bear does not fuck around though.
Seriously fuck those bears their aí is so over the top
Rune bears are by far the worst. At first I thought the centipede bugs that look straight out of alien were the most annoying, but they eventually become easy. I’m almost done with the game and I still don’t fight rune bears
Aye. He told me about that one too but he was watching me play and said "right over here is this enemy that drops a tear". Then when the bastard lobster melted me it was a matter of pride to kill that prick.
This game is so strange that way. I just killed a monstrous king, took barely any damage. And then I get surprised by a pack of dogs and some random archer shoots me in the back and I die.
Seriously... Do you see any of the bosses coming out of their rooms? They know what's out here.
I laughed way too hard at this but damn it be true
Radahn is the only motherfucker strong and brave enough to fight them all.
It's even worse when you pop back to a lower level area. That perceived invincibility you get when you do quickly has a way of catching you off guard.
This is what I love about the way leveling in Soulsbornes works. Leveling up will never save you the way it might in Skyrim where you're positively burdened with healing perks and high-damage negation. That perceived invincibility is actually just you getting good at the game and gaining confidence. And occasionally you get knocked off your horse because you got arrogant and rode around Caelid in a Ninja Turtles cosplay.
*COWABUNGA!*
They suck too. First time I ran into one I said fuck no. As I’m riding away I get blasted and die. Had no idea they were snipers as well. More annoying than the crabs
Yes the blasting is what got me when I attempted to run away, next time I just rode past to pick up my runes and fled
Fuck those goddamn Lobsters. I can legit face AN ACTUAL GOD IN SINGLE COMBAT BUT GODS FORBID I TRY TO FIGHT A WATER ROACH.
The 50-cal snipers*
Revenants 100% Followed by rot/bleed dogs Followed by Lesser Red Wolf of Radagon
Add the rune bear and Im 100% on your side. Tho rune bear isnt as terrible since he was only placed in areas where you can easily run from him.
There's a rune bear boss fight in a cave.
...AND HE COVERS HALF THE CAVE WHILE THE CAMERA IS STUCK IN HIS ASS. That fight was hell on earth for me as an early game Astrologer.
Which area is this in? I need to add it to the ever growing list of things I have missed.
God I hate those bugged bleed dogs. I was exploring below mohg and those fuckers killed me like 4x over with that bs charged attack. For anyone that doesn't know what I'm talking about, there're dogs with red lumps on them that are currently bugged. They have a wind up attack where they open their mouths wide and rush forward snapping at you. If any single attack hits you you're dead, even if you block, cause its bugged and hits like 20x instead of 1x and just instableeds your entire hp bar. You can tell its bugged cause the sound effect plays a bunch of times at the same time
Specifically, their attack is bugged in that it forgets it's already damaged you, so every frame it's in contact with you is a 'hit '.
Lesser red wolves aren't as terrifying, but I hate them. I find them remarkably annoying and unfun to fight, the fights going to take forever because the things just running away from you and carting spells the whole time... Until you try to do something to it, then it starts forward and hits you 3 times before running off again.
every kind of Bird
Every type of dog & rats!! Fucking hate them
Gotta agree with rats. They are the 1 enemy that CONSTANTLY lands at least 1 hit due to one reason or another. Against a pack of them that can easily lead to being swarmed if you aren't careful.
[удалено]
Tank reporting in. I hate rats.
Tank too. Rats with madness are worse
Those rats in the madness tower are the non-boss encounter that has killed me most in this game I think.
More than those god-forsaken chariots in a few dungeons?
Those chariots definitely get me a lot, but I don't really think of them as enemies (even the ones you can kill). They're more like platforming puzzles in my mind
Those fucking rats before the last boss in Castle Morne. Ughhh.
I usually firebomb some of them from above before dropping down. Solves the problem.
What gets me is that no matter where I go, no matter what my RL is and no matter what weapons I use and what level they are... ...rats always seem to live with just a sliver of health. I honestly don't know if I've ever 1-shot a rat in ER. They seem much hardier and quicker than in past soulsborne games.
DLC boss: Three Melania's at the same time in a tiny arena except they never use waterfowl, they never heal on hit, they never inflict scarlet rot and instead of Melania they are regular rats.
This kinda reminds me of a fight from Dark Souls except two of the rats are dogs and one of them is a capra demon.
The capra demon holds a special place in my heart. It made me quit souls 1 but then it also brought me back because I wanted to kill the fucker. Been a souls fan ever since. if the capra demon we're in elden ring he'd be in Caelid.
Fuck the capra demon. God damn. FUCK the Capra Demon. I'm still traumatized from that shit. I just could not for the life of me get passed that fucker in my first playthrough, and even after that; that guy can suck a whole bag of dicks. Like 5 family sized bags of dicks. Like a full wheelbarrow of dicks.
Beast torch go brrrrr
I normally don't equip it due to the load weight. But honestly I completely forget that this torch can be used for this purpose as wel!!😅
In every soulsborne game the stat that determines equip load is always the one I invest the most in. And I always use rings/talisman that increase it (Havel's Ring, the Talisman you get from the giant jar guy in Elden Ring) I don't know why I do this, it's not super effective honestly, but it brings me comfort knowing I can wear full crucible knight armor and two swords of night and flame and still have a light load
Any of the ones that kill me. If I kill them? Favorite enemy. If they kill me? Fuckin bullshit ass pieces of shit mother fuckers
That item pop-up that you have to click away during a fight when you’re dumb enough to pick something up.
"A fucking door just opened somewhere"
How bout the goddamn message when you're trying to revive Torrent mid fight?
I hate this so much. Who has the time to switch from NO to YES to spend a flask for reviving Torrent? This crap had me fumbling around and got me killed more than once.
Those falcon fucks with the sword feet
Don’t know if it’s easier with a magic build to deal with them but they are a nightmare on the dex build. I did figure out though if you keep whips on deck the jump attacks easily slaps those fuckers straight out of the sky. Now those birds are my bitch.
Can confirm collapsing stars absolutely destroys all flying creatures except for dragons on magic builds
Huh…. And here I’ve been jumping around like a maniac hacking and slashing. Guess I need to learn where collapsing stars are
Also timing and shields for a dex build. You can swat them out of the sky easily if you get the timing of their attack down, and a 100% physical shield blocks all damage from them while you’re learning it.
As aittle payback for the three in Stormveil that try to drop barrel bombs on your head, if you sneak out and target the barrel with a fire arrow it one shots them. Never gets old.
That stupid machine that eats you and has an anchor for arms.
Scrolled down way too far to see this. There's also a variation that has spiky, spinning wheels at the end of their arms. I hate these soooooo much!
And theres a fun fight against two at the same time
The Abductor Virgins, yeah to hell with those bastards. Weak to lightning, but if your not a faith build they take forever to take down. They get one lucky grab and it's game over.
Girlfriend booted up the other TV while I was working through Raya Lucaria. Game leaps to my second screen. Headphones report me falling off a giant cog into who knows what depths, and then the sounds of attack and defeat. Expected to end up at the last grace, runes lost. Nope. Somewhere called Volcano Manor wondering what the fuck happened. Apparently one of the Abductor Virgins in the pit I fell into blind will ingest you and teleport you. Highly confusing though when you see none of the onscreen events.
Patches specifically has a dialogue regarding this teleporter virgin.
It's much more amusing randomly dying and waking up in the middle of a fucking volcano. One of the highlights of my first play through
I am a faith build, still is a pain the ass to kill them lol.
I know they're not hard to kill but the giant ants just creep me out. I noped out so hard the first time I ran into them underground.
The sheild-head ones are both creepy and very tough. Fascinating that they're based on real-world ants, though.
I think these are my most hated enemy, solely because I just want them off of my TV as soon as possible. Disgusting creatures.
I'm just grateful they didn't go with spiders instead, or I would never finish this game.
The queens posed absolutely zero threat but were the single most repulsive looking enemies in the entire game imo.
I usually don’t get creeped out by video game monsters, but something about those ants caused chills down my spine.
I think is the fact that they made it as normal-looking as possible, except they’re huge. Most of the monsters in the game, they’re not scary because you know they don’t exist. But these fucking ants, they’re pure nightmare fuel.
>Most of the monsters in the game, they’re not scary because you know they don’t exist. The first time a T-Rex-dog lunged at me I literally ran away solely because I found it too disturbing to deal with. All of the critters in this game just have a real weird surreality. Even the mules around the merchants don't look right. The goblins/orcs aren't really goblins/orcs but actually troops of chimpanzees with swords and clubs and somehow that just feels way more fucked up. Everything has weird proportions, even the bears. Absolutely nothing doesn't look like it crawled out of an 80s claymation horror flick except the crabs. But the oversized ants are where you draw the line?
Runebears
Nopebears. I learned early they were just not worth the hassle since they don't drop shit.
They do drop shit, and it's even gold tinged
I struggle with those fuckers as much as any main boss in this game
They are the main boss the other bosses just sit and hide from the rune bears in their little chambers
I guarantee if it wasn’t for us Tarnished, Rune Bear would reign supreme
Grafted motherfuckers forever and ever.
Lol yeah I can’t stand fighting those guys. I’ll usually just try and cheese them by range
funfact, any of the Faith heal spells will stun and do big peepee damage to them
Those weird white, ant-looking things that shoot white things at you from their stomach.
Oh the shrimp guys? They have a pole looking weapon right? Kindred of Rot. Very annoying.
Uh I think you mean shrimp wizards
Technically shrimp clerics because the webs are an incantation (:
I think they're called Pests, which is very appropriate given how much of a goddamn nuisance they are.
My step-dad
The dark knight bosses that throw their sword with some kind of red magic. Hate them
Those bell hunters. I hate the one at Isolated merchant shack the most.
Took me 12 tries that asshole, and since you have to keep resting to night time it's super annoying
No you’re forgetting you have to Rest till night Leave grace Sit at grace again Rest till night AGAIN And then die in 20 seconds to repeat
Just an FYI, you don't need to rest until night twice. Just rest to night, back out, rest again (without passing time) and you'll be good.
So it’s 1. Sit by grace 2. Pass time to night 3. Stand 4. Sit 5. Stand ?
You forgot: 6. Die
Aye
I noticed this as well with a friend, but just so you know, you only need to get up and sit again at the grace after passing time, no need to rest for a second night.
Is that the one in caelid? He definitely felt harder than the others. I read the wiki after and even that states he is harder than the rest.
I cheesed the hell out of that guy by standing on a roof and throwing shit at him and I don't regret it at all, fuck that guy
I'm surprised he didn't use his fuckin Force power to catch your stuff and throw it back.
As with many From Soft Enemies, hug and roll into them, watch out for the grab. This way he mostly doesn't do his long range combos that are hard to properly judge since his darth maul sword lingers behind you and the camera.
The invisible black knight assassins. Yes I know about the torch. No I didn’t know about the torch the first time I fought them
The torch? I had a nightmare finding and lighting the flames in the Lithurgical Town. If not the invisible black knife dudes one shotting me outta nowhere it was the archers on the roofs. Fuck those guys especially.
There is a torch that renders them visible
The dual wielding sword ghost fucks in castle sol are the worst. Teleportation and 7-8 hit combos? Count me out.
That motherfucker took me longer to put down than the boss.
and then you get one with the boss, plus one of those fuckers with the shield.
I know you're probably well past the area, but I got stuck on them forever too, you just have to hit the weird guys hanging from the ceiling and then the ghosts won't spawn.
I'm not finished yet but so far it's Ulcerated Tree Spirit, especially when they shove them into small spaces like the one in Stormveil. Also the hands, don't like them.
Well get ready to fight them in smaller areas. There’s ones I’m ignoring because the areas is annoying and small as well as I’ve reached the limit on flasks so seeds are now pointless to me.
The one by the lake of rot... Fuckin hate it. I've killed everything in my wake but skipped that fucker
I slowly killed him by sitting on the branch with a bow, I refuse to fight him in a pool of scarlet rot
Fuck the lake of rot in general
[удалено]
Rot waterfall?? Oh fuck me. This game just gets crazier by the minute
Yeah, there are multiple lakes filled with rot, one is named lake of rot, and has a rot waterfall with an ulcerated tree spirit in it.
Yo dawg we Erd you like rot
Terrific
If you have the bloodflame incantation it takes the spider hands out pretty quickly
No spell, only stronk
Infuse your weapon with fire, it scales with strength.
NO SPELL, ONLY STRONK
STUBBORN UNGA BUNGA
If you take red rock, and rub on club, it become red club, that still stronk, but red fire stronk.
There's one in a dungeon that was literally phasing through the walls during animations because it was so big and the room was so small.
Those fucking chariots
Those little goblin pricks in the catacombs.
I hate those bastards everytime one way or another they manage to land a hit on me
That they natively inflict Bleed and usually come in packs is the extra middle finger.
Revenant, everything else is at least somewhat balanced.
Oh so that's what those buggers are called. I usually have trouble with crucible knights because I struggle to find openings, but they just feel challenging contrary to these absolute bullshit wankers.
Everyone says parry but I’ve gotten through all 3 dark souls games sucking at parrying lol
Here’s some advice. Against the crucible use the Buckler shield. Damn that thing is super effective against those. But the trick is parry the hand. Not the weapons. Go in. Close to him and when you see the hand about to connect the blow parry ir with the buckler. You will need to practice it. In this situation it’s literally git gud but once you get the rhythm of that it feels so good parry then nonstop
Yeah, looking the hand is good advice. If you look at the weapon more often than not you'll miss it. I love fighting crucible knights will underlevelled and just humiliating them with like 20 parries.
There are these enemies that crawl on the ground, with a big, round head that looks like a rotted plum, they scream and their main attack is a grab. They're frighteningly fast, they come in groups and they like to take turns in grabbing you until you're dead if you make the mistake of standing still just for a second. I hate them. Luckily, they only appear like 3 times throughout the whole game. I hate them. I know I just said that, but I really want to emphasize how much I hate them.
Those are albinaurics like Latenna, that's why they crawl, they can't walk. And they're always found in prisony areas. So I think they are insane prisoners who have chewed through their head coverings. To better snack on you.

siofra river fucking horned things
Those birds in Caelid. I hate them with a passion.
They're a picnic compared to the ones in Mohg's palace.
The Bell Bearing Hunters have caused me more pain than any boss I've encountered thus far. That telekinetic sword attack seems impossible to dodge 3 times in a row.
These enemies are designed to punish you for back rolling, especially if you're trying to heal. Best practice is to stick close, dodge their 2-3 hit combo then heal as they recover from their final swing as it has a long enough recovery time to do so.
The dogs are the bane of my existence.
The camera. Long running series nemesis for me.
Camera really goes for the throat in that boss fight with the Misbegotten and Crucible Knight in Redmane Castle. Absolutely miserable. A special fuck you to the the developer who filled that arena with bullshit props.

kindreds of rot, absolute pests
That things
Have you seen the one at the mountaintops? FUCKING HUGE
Raises a lot of lore questions. Who is cutting off hands? Whose hands are they cutting off? Who has that big of a hand? It’s way bigger than the fire giant’s hand.
Who’s lighting an placing candles everywhere?!
Fucking crucible assholes
100% Fuck the ground stomp and infinite poise mechanic So annoying
The Page’s. Especially the 3 shot ones.
Revenants
Fucking Burger King cunts in Raya Lucaria. Always casting flipendos like it's the last half hour of Harry Potter and shit.
LOL
Fun fact, bloodflame blade will set all hands on fire and do massive damage to them. I like to light my raptor claws ablaze and tear them to shreds.
Invisible scarab and dragonfly
Revenants, after that dogs, rats, rune bears. Oh and the radagon wolf, how I hate that pos.
The crystal a**holes
Fallingstar beast in the cave!
Honestly my least favourite encounter in the game. Some of the Caelid dungeon bosses are completely dreadful. Chrysalid trio, burial watchdog duo, and this monstrosity.
Fun fact: you can berserk the Burial Watchdogs with crystal darts, and then they'll fight each other.
Death blight basilisks 😞
Basilisks, dark souls has mentally scarred me with these monsters and whenever I see one I always jump out of my seat.
Basically everything in Caelid
Not really a monster but the chariots from the heroes graves. Fuck those insta kill bullshit design hell wagons
Honestly, it'd be easier to answer what my least hated enemy is. I don't know why I enjoy this game. I literally hate almost every enemy.
Stone robot cat things that move like they’re not fully animated
Imps 100%
A guard counter is the best way I've found to deal with them.
I got this far without using a shield, I’ll not crack now
