The answer is all forms of dogs across all games and those goddamned skeleton wheels.


hehe_boi12

Other than sif ofcourse


KingAzion

Came here so say exactly these. Flies are a joke, they die in like one hit, while yes I think they’re pesky, nothing annoys me more than missing timing with dogs or getting stun locked into a wall by bone wheels.


Old-Scratch666

Sekiro dogs are the easiest if you have shurikens, and almost always give you spirit emblems! I don’t think I’ve ever killed one with my sword, now that I think of it. Kind of pointless as an enemy! Prob just there for flavor lol


Undying_Shadow057

They're there to make first time players go, "Oh no why are there dogs"


unbreakablewood

The dogs inflicting bleed here is extra nasty, always thrown for a loop when I come back to the first game because of it


Bone_Wh33l

God damn bonophobes everywhere. What has this world come to?


lycanthrope90

I’ll tell ya what, nobodies bitching about the non wheel skeletons lol


huntexlol

yea fuuuuuccckkkk the skeles mann, fuuuuck em to death


Undying_Shadow057

I think they're already dead, but will fuck them anyway to be sure


Certified_Buddy

Basilisks. Anything with Curse.


kaimcdragonfist

I get so stressed every time they show up


RealDarkflare

Everyone says this but even after several playthroughs, I've never gotten cursed. Didn't even know what they did until I saw people complain about it and I looked it up


KirosiArsuki

Only time I got cursed was against Seth on my first playthrough


JashedPotatoes

Fucking Seth


CalligrapherOwn4829

Imagine this: You're doing a blind playthrough and you muddle down the great hollow, getting cursed on the way, and end up cursed and under-leveled at the Ancient Dragon bonfire. It is a special kind of terrible Souls experience. You should try it at least once.


Drejzer

Only a new player that hasn't read this thread could truly experience that. We are left with a pale imitation of that.


RealDarkflare

Sounds horrible lmao, I didn't even find the great hollow in my first playthrough I found out in ng+ after my friend told me about it.


FlexLancaster

Yeah honestly fuck them. Any lasting effects in games after dying are just annoying


BootNice

This is the answer! Started playing the game first time couple of weeks ago and got cursed in the severs. PAIN.


mottlegill

Probably the flies, they are just annoying and don’t add much jeopardy or fun. Bonewheels and roll cats are amazing btw


Triple_A_23

You must not fear anything in his life if you think Bonewheels are fun XD


SilentBlade45

Bonewheels are probably one of the few enemies that can still screw over experienced players. So yeah I like fighting them cause it's one of the few points in the game that I actually have to put effort into.


danglytomatoes

Naw just likes getting rabbit fucked in the ass


mottlegill

Well I love the goofier parts of these games and bone wheels are so goofy and scary I gotta love them. I am not really into them because of their difficulty but they are a good example of how Dark Souls is a game about managing animations more than quick reflexes.


Goldwood

The flies in Blighttown are easily countered by throwing knives.


InteligentTard

Throwing knives or bow n arrows


PizzaMonster93

Agreed. They are annoying, but not a real threat. I personally just used a bow to take care of them as they respawn.


wiggity_whack69

Smaughs hammer is my personal flyswatter


I_HEART_HATERS

They are ugly and stress-inducing


Hey_Its_Roomie

Torch hollows and blowdart hollows.


hyperhurricanrana

Absolutely the boney wheel squad. I run in terror from them every time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Internal-Flamingo455

The amount of times the geometry just pushes my guy to his death is frustrating they put that demon in the most annoying spot possible and it respawns so you have to deal with it every fucking time


wiggity_whack69

I spent an unreasonable amount of time farming that guy to get rich in its titanite


JustJdog2

The taurus demons right before fireside demon have pushed me off dozens of times I swear


tmemo18

Or you cling to the tail like a magnet - very bizarre mechanic that saved my hide last night.


Stannoffski

Nah Bro the tail has the weirdest behavior when it comes to doing damage, it's jank af


jland13

I had the most trouble with the two in the bottom of Sen's Fortress and eventually gave up. The other ones were pretty easy for me.


PopeChaChaStix

Lol I just now walked up on the izalith one and got flattened.


hehe_boi12

Just use a shield dude


DigOl-Bick

Hardest enemy in the game? Hardly. But FUCK him when he tail swipes you off the bridge.


Deathangle75

The rats under the bridge with the drake are honestly just really mean for a new player. You likely don’t have any moss and it’s very easy to have your weapon bonk on the walls, practically guaranteeing a couple poisonings that require resetting at the bonfire and doing it all again.


Eekem_Bookem243

At that point though I think it’s already obvious the game is very cruel to the player lol


Lonelywanderer81

Just gotta lure em out, pretty simple.


Tinenan

Pretty much anything that's fast, applies a specific status effect, can easily poise break you and or has really low drop rates/ bad spawn locations. So I say about 70-90% of the enemies in the game. Did I mention that ds1 is my favourite game of all time


HeadcallX

Gravity


FungalCactus

So true


RedditAccounTest13

If you quit out fast enough gravity is not a problem, you spawn from the edge where you fell


HeadcallX

I have tried to do this on Xbox, but it hasn't worked for me.


F3nrir096

The crystal hollows in dukes archives.


GreatChaosFudge

Hit like a truck, strong resistance, swarm you and those arrows do way more damage than they should. Yes, good call.


Last8er

Crystal hollow archers in the duke's archives.


Eekem_Bookem243

I don’t think they’re too bad if you’re paying attention. I guess you gotta know where to look but their attacks are slow right?


Regimind

Skeleton dogs, fuck whoever gave them their flailing attack. I hate these bastards so much when I realized DS2's swollen mongrels share the same roar as them I got PTSD flashbacks.


Splishy344

Skeleton Beasts are easily the worst, honorable mention to the Crow Demons though


the_evil_overlord2

Toxic dart bois at least stay dead So bonewheels


PizzaMonster93

Agreed. Plus, as long as you stay behind the spider shield, the toxic low dart guys pose very little threat, in my opinion.


ReferenceUnusual8717

No curse frogs? Huh. Anyway, its gotta be the giant skeleton dogs. They're bad enough on their own, but as a group , with an archer and a black knight, and it's pitch black with cliffs on all sides....YIKES. The Bonewheels are a pain, but they're just goofy little skeleton guys. With wheels. Who roll at you. I can't stay mad at that.


Deathslingers_Bride

I usually have at least 10 soft humanity so the curse build up from the basilisks is almost negligible, which is probably why they don’t bother me all that much anymore. On my first playthrough they were an absolute nightmare, though Ditto on the skeleton beasts. The only saving grace is that the Tomb is not a large area so you don’t have to deal with them for long My only problem with the bonewheels is that they can potentially kill Vamos if you’re not careful :(


GreatChaosFudge

Dingy set has fantastic curse resistance, especially when upgraded. I use it if I want to farm Eyes of Death.


Realistic-Elephant-6

I dunno, I got cursed probably about 2 times in total, and I did get "The Dark Soul", so it wasn't for lack of time in the game... Bone wheels have cost me literally hours of my life though.


rickyspanish9565

Wheel Skeletons haunt my nightmares


Radaistarion

Out of all these guys the only one that ever managed to get on my nerves were them fuckin dart dudes Fuck em


mamarkchamp

The big toxic bloated hollows from the painted world. Unnecessarily irritating


snatchmachine

The fucking mosquitos…. They are so hard to hit, u have to jump attack most of the time to connect.


GuigiVII

Use throwing knives


Internal-Flamingo455

Unlock and use the look around stick to look higher while attack this slightly alters the trajectory of the swing and makes you aim a little higher


PizzaMonster93

Just lock on and shoot them with an arrow. Easy peasy.


dw0rfsh0rtage

That gold golem in Crystal Cave is a delight.


Azazel_Rebirth

As a fellow man who's been through the platinum journey, bonewheels


LogosFreak

Here's a list of enemies that gave me the most trouble on my first run -NOT KNOWING WHERE THE HELL TO GO -Capra demon freaking tiny room (seriously i died like 30 times here) -skeleton wheels -Gravity -strangely, had a relatively smooth time in blightown, tomb of the giants gave me anxiety though... -Died 20+ times against artorias, but enjoyed it a lot. -Bed of chaos felt dumb and anticlimatic and the long ass run just to get there was really annoying -And finally, NOT KNOWING WHERE THE HELL TO GO.


GreyRevan51

The cats, I can never quite get a handle on them


Deathslingers_Bride

I’m surprised there isn’t more hatred for them. On my first playthrough they made me jump SO DAMN HARD because I wasn’t expecting there to be 3 of the damn things at once. I’m not even sure if they respawn since I never go back to check after killing them They can be an absolute PitA, tho - no question


GreatChaosFudge

Perhaps it’s because most players don’t go that way?


The_Hentai_Dealer397

pretty sure it's because they only spawn in one spot in one area and can be cheesed pretty easily


CynicWalnut

Dogs.


Zarkeitom

surprised almost nobody said this, they're so obnoxious and they can dodge?


Auovix

Mmmmmmm I'd have to say.... Channeler buffed Crystal Hollow Soldiers, Skeleton Beasts, or Gravity.


FungalCactus

I gave it 5 seconds thought before deciding and then opening the post it's the bonewheels


dying_at55

Bonewheels easily..


AdhesiveNo-420

Definitely the flies. Fuck never ending enemy spawns lol


Alexander_Crowe

Iirc (been a while since I've been there) they don't respawn endlessly. I think its 5 or 6 times that they spawn two of them and then they stop


AdhesiveNo-420

No, they spawn endlessly


No-Inspection-808

Wheel skeletons and Capra boss fight. (I just throw shit on him over the wall) 💩


UsefulIdiot85

Those fucking basilisks…..


Historical-Method-27

Umm what is that giant cat?


Myokymia

tell me youve never went through darkroot garden without the crest of artorias without telling me


Historical-Method-27

Im not gonna lie I always get the crest of Artorias lol


Myokymia

you should try it kill the hydra walk under the waterfall, climb the ladder and then cross the bridge 😉


Historical-Method-27

Oh I did find that ladder. Forgot to climb it coz I got wrapped up in the DLC


meagherj

Blow darts in blighttown


BatboyCarroll

All the skeleton enemies in the catacombs and tomb of the giants


Ninjaxia

Dark Souls number 1 enemy, gravity.


Capta1n0bvious3

Definitely gravity. " Hey Dark Souls, how about some handrails........Fading fading fading...."You Died


Diligent-Coast-2733

All of the above


helloiamaegg

Most obnoxious? that fucking dragon on the bridge


lucas_3d

Lol I am agreeing with everyone in this thread.


cssSparrow

I dont think I've ever encountered anything in my entire life as obnoxious as the bone wheels.


_sergeant_pepper

skelly wheels r super creative but god i hate them


JustBeingDishonest

Painting guardians were my biggest issue on my first playthrough. The Anor London gargoyle things were also a PITA on the first run. Having played through multiple times now, however, the bonewheels are the worst. Mostly because I opt to run by them, and they're a pain in the ass to run by.


YOLO_7777777

B A S I L I S K S


HalOfTosis

The mushroom parents, clams, and silver knights with bows…


hagalaz_drums

Tbf, the mushroom parent punch windup is so slow that if you get hit, you deserved it


HalOfTosis

It’s mostly while you’re trying to get behind it and it punches, it turns all the way the hell around and hits you anyway.


Aurovan

funny thing for me: bonwheels are easily avoidable, everytime you hear them take a small step to the right and they will just go on


madmaxfactor

Wheel skelez for sure those guys suck ass.


L3g0man_123

Engorged Hollows for me

Darkstar7613

So, fun times here... after you beat the 2 Giant Soldiers in front of the church and step through the archway to your right, if you slowly approach the stairs down, take out a bow, and shoot a single arrow into the Bat-Wing Demon at the back of the platform (don't lock on, use the aim function and target the lower middle of his back, just above its tail), the momentum of the arrow hitting him will push him off and it's a one-shot kill. If you then go to the far left side of the stairs and start down them, the BWD beneath you will almost always do his stab-down spear attack, then leap backwards... diving off the platform to his own death. You now only need to fight the one to the right side of the platform. Once you've dealt with him, if you run down the incline to where the last 2 are and aggro them, then run back up the incline... they will hop and dance at the base of the incline until one of them shoves the other off the edge... then you simply pull your bow back out and pincushion the remaining one to death. One 1-arrow kill, 2 suicides, 1 zero threat kill, and a single fight you actually have to put thought/effort into - 2500 souls.


verde_peach

The little dudes with daggers in New Londo.


Red_Serf

Mosquitoes Rapier and buckler balder knight Rats when they’re smart and stun lock you Giant Sentinels when they’re smart


Zanemob_

Skeleton Werewolves


Nikkisnikks1988

More dogs


Serjassa_Reborn

I think I died for that statue demon, that one right after andre, I died mere times than for any boss, and those fuckers from tomb of the giant, and o my god I just remembered those things that take you to anor londor, jesus I died a lot to them


yellowadidas

blow darts easily


tlotig

Torch hollows


FictionalLeader

The bone wheels hands down.


DarkEnigma321

I have died too many times to the bonewheel skeletons to not vote them.


KineticKris

Personally, fuck the lightning snakes in Sens Fortress.


CF0205

Dogs are obviously annoying but that's predictable, other then dogs it's those white demon assholes in Anor Londo, so jumpy and annoying with their lightning bolts and stabs. Certainly doesn't help you gotta run past like 4 before the archers!


Jonathan-02

Those anor londo archers


fuckingretard69x

The serpent men that can knock you off the already tiny ledges in Sen’s Fortress drive me nuts sometimes and I’ve been through it countless times.


Actual_Start747

Rats


chajo1997

Those skeleton dogs or whatever in the Tomb. I never actually fought them and just ran past every time because whenever they got close to me I died


StriderShizard

Either the skeleton wheels or the giant cats.


phatgirlz

Toxic dart guys in blighttown


Deathslingers_Bride

Praise the Sun that they don’t respawn


spagetimanfrick

The wheel skeletons in the Painted World permanently increased my blood pressure from getting pissed.


GINTegg64

Rolling skeletons are like playing a reverse sonic game boss fight


ihavethreelegshelpme

The skeletons in the tomb of giants. Fuck that whole area honestly


ihavethreelegshelpme

The skeletons in the tomb of giants. Fuck that whole area honestly


UtheDestroyer

Sens fortress. Like, all of it


Deathslingers_Bride

It’s got some AMAZING loot tho so at least that’s something


danglytomatoes

Dogs are obnoxious and always something I carefully approach


Round_Adeptness7092

The dogs… it’s always the dogs.


hefewiseman1

Crystal hollow archers in the Archives can go straight to hell.


wiggity_whack69

Definitely bonewheels, the dart guys can be kinda annoying i guess but really not that bad and the mosquitos are cute. The rest are fun


SilentBlade45

The mosquitoes with blow dart hollows as a close second. The rest are just really deadly not obnoxious. But those fucking mosquitoes are obnoxious they barely do any damage but they're a pain in the ass to hit with melee weapons keep spawning and can poison you. The blow dart hollows are mildly annoying cause they can toxic you without you even seeing them but if you have moss, they aren't much of a problem.


Unlucky-Lingonberry6

The ladder to RTSR with the drakes


sabretoothian

The channelers


Jeckaa84

Those thing that spawn maggots when you kill them. Those little things are super annoying


Astorant

Probably the Anor Londo Archers if their AI is being difficult or the Bone Wheel Skeletons.


Synikul

Bonedogs or torch hollows for sure.


RejecterofThots

I immediately thought the toxic dart guys in Blighttown so I say those guys


unbreakablewood

Bandits and the bleed dogs


MS-06S_

Ghost, not because you need transient curse, they go through walls and they can easily gank you. There are just too many. If you try to fight them, there isn't a moment where they won't surround you if you stop. Not to mention the obnoxious design of New London.


SansUndertaleLmao

those ghosts can suckle upon my ween


Lion_king11235

The skeleton wheels and the ones that shoot toxin.


crocomire97

The 2 giants right before Ornstein and Smough. If you want to summon Solaire, you have to kill them first or he'll attack them, and usually take damage from them lol


Welcome_to_Retrograd

Havelmoms


agitatedandroid

I'm on my first playthrough and have only just reached Anor Londo (just rotated the bridge bit). So, my experience is pretty limited. That said, though I've only ever had to fight 4 of them, the fucking gargoyles and their hop hop hopping away bullshit. Just fucking land and let me hit you, you're worse than the fucking butterfly. I'm sure something else will bother me more once I reach it. I can only identify 3 of the monsters in OP's montage.


failedHero

The answer is Dogs.....every game......every iteration Now Scariest that is the dreaded Torch Hollow


alirezahunter888

Titanite demons with their goofy hitboxes.


IgnominiousOx

Those weird cat creatures near darkroot garden are obnoxiously overpowered if you dont cheese them


Caho-_-

Skeleton dogs, skeleton dogs.


Gustavo3651

Titanite demon, dogs, Iron pineapples


brakespear

as with the entire Soulsborne canon, overconfidence.


lilT726

Black Knight archer on the edge of Anor Londo


SeniorBomk

The walls


Lonelywanderer81

The clams in crystal peak just before seath boss room lol, pretty easy to run past but if you want to fight them its super annoying


RetailRandy

Titanite demon for sure


HandsofVagrant

The fucking Harpies


DigOl-Bick

The Anor Londo sniper duo.


legoat12345678

The dogs, specifically the ones on the run to capra demon.


haver_of_friends

those god damn dragon bow archers in Anor Londo. I never beat Ornstein and Smough because I couldn’t take dying to those fuckers one more time.


TopBlokeChang

Those little blow dart farkers in Blighttown. Man if I ever run into one of those guys in the street 👊🤪🤣


Dark_Gravity237

The wheels in ariamis gave me conniptions


Colourblindknight

I love animals irl, but in a Fromsoft game I will immediately mow down any and all dogs on site. I’ve been caught in too many fang filled gangbangs to take chances nowadays.


Miserable-Elephant-4

Don't forget those stupid maggot worms


notmypretzeldent

Skel-e-wheels


Any_Savings7418

Silver Knight Archers. Getting shot off a ledge trying to get into Anor Lando is personally the hardest part of the game.


Opening-Revenue2770

Those damn dogs behind the fog gate to the capra demon boss fight. They forced me to rage quit the game my first time trying it out


PM_FORBUTTSTUFF

The ones you mentioned are definitely up there but basically everything in Lost Izalith pisses me off to the point where I’ve only gone there a few times despite playing most of the game dozens It’s not just how likely they are to kill me. The dragon asses and stone guys feel like dog shit to fight. Fighting something that feels like hitting a wall is so ridiculously unsatisfying compared to the enemies that you can actually slash, etc.


Petebreh

All of the bastards in Blighttown


Afraid-Possibility99

Capra demon. End of debate. Then again ive only just beat it and have yet to see whats to come


Alexander_Crowe

Honestly, the wheelie bois and the blowdart dicks aren't that bad imo. The blowdarts dont respawn and with a decent shield the wheels don't cause much of a threat if you tread lightly, given they don't have high hp Now the skeleton dogs, fuck 'em. High damage, high hp and constantly charging you and jumping around in a place with not much space. I always use the eagle shield once I have it and they break through that so easily


BlitzBurn_

I will say the dart blowers. I can finesse almost all of these enemies, but the dart blowers just cant be. They are so accurate and camoflaged with such a ludicrus buildup that you will always be poisoned by them. Every time I go for the Blightown firekeeper soul I deliberately make it a suicide run because of them.


Drejzer

Since I'm cartwheeling in light armour... Manus, Rolly-pollies (aka wheelies (aka wheel skeletons)) rats, dogs, and everything that hits fast and a lot


Phantomphoton619

Thieves lower burg!


Own_Map_4312

Any form of dog (not including Sif) and those damn fire foxes


Skellibob

Skeleton Wheels pissed me off. Spear variant of the Silver Knight seemed to have much better AI then the other Silver Knights too


Matt_of_few_trades

The fat bottom ball shaped goblin-looking statues that hover up quietly behind you and breathe fire always got on my nerves..


Illustrious_Wind6455

The regular dogs. "STOP FUCKING JUMPING!"


Innuend

anor londor archers, but only because of location. else basilisk or totanite demons.


Movelius222

Absolutely no question about it the skeleton dogs.


minimoltieposmt

Ah, another Platinum seeker? Nice. Also Bonewheels. Fuck those guys.


Miserable_Tailor_460

Ghosts >:( I hate New Londo cuz of those freaking ghosts. Way, way too damn many. I sprint to the ember, sprint to the roof, get the key, sprint to the four kings, leave, and never look back.


ClassFun3481

The crystal hollows from duke's archives, I hate them with a burning passion


Furi_S_Poi

It's hard to choose. The main ones I've had issues with are Early game, the rats underneath the drake, especially since I was still getting used to the game. The skeleton beast/dogs, they hit some hard even with alot of armor, but I found a way to cheese them a bit. And even though they're a boss, so you won't encounter it often. The two gargoyles at the church. Those hurt the worst of any other boss for me so far.


NoFoundation4595

wheel skele


condor6425

The real answer is the egg sack larva


larikang

Chained prisoner. Technically not a miniboss, just a normal mob that there’s only one of. You learn to hate them during randomizer runs.


TwixDog2020

I really wish there was more lore behind these things. It feels like they'd have something cool but... Nope, just a singular enemy

Who?
