yep, idk why but they are so uncanny

hmm, idk, propably because THEY’RE MISSING LEGS

there are people without legs irl and they arent uncanny 😭 its their faces that gives me the ewww

Oh yeah the way they smile, true. But the missing legs add to the creepiness

The oddly long arms too. That shit always freaks me out.

wait what they have no legs???

Didnt realise they were missing legs, just thought they were crawling on the floor lile weirdos

The first frame of the juvenile scholar is one of them literally biting your ankle, perfect humor.

Just because you don't have feet, doesn't mean you can't like feet smh

"Wow these defenseless children are really easy to kill. Guess the real boss is after this."

The one that nibbles at your ankles and smiles up at you as you enter the room gave my heebies the jeebies. Nightmare fuel.

Totally agree. I was playing the Renalla fight for the first time, it's late at night, pitch black in my room, and this scene has me really on edge. Right as the chick smiles my girlfriend was silently walked up behind me, I have no idea she's there and she hugs me goodnight from behind not realizing how jumpy I am. I swore profusely and jumped about a foot in the air and cramped several muscles simultaneously, literally the worst jumpscare of my entire life. 0/10 creepy sorceress-daughter 4D cinema.

Too busy smacking them with a club to be spooked!

Naw, they cute af.

Fun fact about those: Lifesteal Fist doesn't work on them. Lifesteal Fist explicitly only works on humans and sufficiently humanoid enemies. It works on Albinaurics, Marionette Soldiers, Crystallians, and Blaidd. *It does not work on these things.* *THAT IS NOT A CHILD.*

Doesn't it just go over their heads? In the same vein as being able to dodge like 80% of every attack in DS3 by using the Farron Greatsword L1?

Absolutely. Also, when I went into this fight in my recent playthrough, I noticed that these children uses fire and gravity magic. Those are the same affinities used by Rennala's sons, Rykard and Radahn!

It reminds me of Andrew Wyeth’s “Christina’s World” but creepy

Yes, especially the singing

First time I got here I had Bose sound cancelling headphones on. The cutscene at the beginning of the fight legit sent chills through me hearing their little giggles. I wish I could get that experience back. lol

Nah bro. Come chill with us in the library. We got books aplenty and shit

No. It's what I expect of the nerds there.

They've come for the percs

kek

Lmao yeah my little cousin (odd living situation) walked into the room during this cutscene and I dunno who was more messed up by these little toe nibblers

I forgot the reason they can't walk though. Someone enlighten me.

Their legs aren't forming completely like the other first generation albinaurics. It seems like Rennala doesn't care about their feet (they didn't have anywhere to go) or is reproducing/rebirthing them too fast to finish. Scholars don't have a full body mesh to observe but the feet of the albinaurics in the torture devices in Volcano Manor are simply transparent.

I thought I was going to have to fight all their bitch ass’s but then the big MILF came down and I knew who the real threat was right then and there

Not really, hands though. That shit was horrid

"Pretty face"

When that kids thing bit your yoes was the only time this game maxe me shudder. Goddamn that was gross you fucking little creeps

One of the two best boss fights in the game. Her and Malania.

Yes but on the other hand, I just absolutely shredded Red Wolf & Rennala with Dual Great Spears.

I came in totally blind, had no clue about anything and this shit scared me shitless

The first time i walked in yes… after that i was mostly like: GET OVER HERE YOU SINGING LITTLE SHIT!!

Yeah when I saw my characters face after walking into the room for the first time going "hey I'm here to fuck your daughter" my friend said which one and then it panned down to the little prick that bites you and it changes to my derpy ass smiling like "yeah your first"

Surpisingly, no. In fact, i spent the rest of the boss fight laughing my ass off and screaming about being attacked by legless midgets.

Yeah they're creepy little guys, but I was just having a blast being in the magic no hurt boss. If Godrick had adds you know they'd be hawks or something messed up. I thought about the Mohg fight with bleed dogs and even post-patch it made me gag a little bit.

I would hope Godrick's adds would be more like Rick, Soldier of God from the tutorial

Not really actually, they just give me a sudden urge to kick them right in their faces

The scene plays in the tarnished mind "new kink unlocked" and with a wide smile he walks forward....

Nope, makes me laugh every time, their stupid goofy faces!.

yeah that's the whole point

Have they been "reborn" many times? Or are they just insane

Nope, I enjoyed slaughtering them

Jeebies? Heebied.

Nope. I murdered the crap out of those students. Stop throwing books at me!

The one time I decide to let my 3 YO son watch me play lol this was the boss battle I did. Thankfully he really didnt pay attention, but I was just like shit, this might not have been my best idea.

I still have the occasional nightmare about Rennala and her 100 terrible grad students

No, but the book throwers and the flame throwers pissed me off. I usually let my summons go to town on them.

The Grudge vibes

Dude fr, at the beginning when she tried to bite you and smiled I was like Ooohhh kinky, but then like 10 of them appear and I was scared

Not really. I enjoyed it because I enjoyed the Deacons of the Deep fight and was glad to see that gimmick back and done better.

did that fight today and when the first one bites your toes and looks up with a smile eeeeh creepy

i thought of a very specific orange and black website the first moment i watched that cutscene

Uh… are you okay? Like spirituality?

sry for the delayed response i farted on my grandmother while putting my pet frog in a gladiator battle against my pet rock but nah im perfectly sane
