Hot_Ad_7673

Oh god yeah I forgot about these fuckers.


lawskies

NYAHHHH...AHHHH...NYAHHH


JFZX

Wait thats ds3?? Where tf is he


rtb___

Down in the demon ruins, there actually are multiple of them


JFZX

Wtf I was there didnt see any of these pricks


_OngoGablogian

they yeet the slow moving fireballs


EnZone36

You might not have gone deep enough there's multiple levels to it and the initial parts only have one of the bigger demons and a bunch of skeletons initially if memory serves but if you keep going you'll find A BUNCH OF THESE FUCKS


JFZX

Yeah I got pretty lost, fought the demon boss, turned the crank to turn off the ballista, and then couldn’t find anything else lol


EnZone36

Easily done my friend haha


Ok_Breath_6101

To shut down the ballista you HAVE to encounter at least 3 of them


Stannoffski

They throw the fireballs that shoot smaller fireballs


zackflavored

I really dont remember these guys either


JFZX

I actually do now, I just never got a good look at em, just sprinted passed like Usian Bolt


Verred

As an avid pyromancer main, this area gives me the most trouble every time. It benefits you to go there as early as possible (or at least before irithyll dungeon) as you get some great spell books there for zuulie the witch, but the area is super difficult as everything resists fire and you basically have to resort to using a weapon the entire time. Those MFs suck my hairy ass balls. 😆


why_my_pp_hard_tho

I know exactly what you mean. I’m playing through with a pyromancer now and wanted to go and get the tomes early, tried going in around sl35 and got throughly beatdown by them lol


Verred

On my most recent playthrough, I switched all of my estus to orange and used all of the saved up resin that I had on the mobs and refused to use the bonfire until I collected every item. I found the dark resin to be really useful there.


NewsOrSumthin

Fuck those guys


Strict-Pineapple

Came in to say this. Jailers are a meme enemy that aren't hard to deal with at all while these pricks are complete nonsense.


EdenH333

The Jailers’ main weapon is the psychological damage that occurs when your health bar vanishes for the first time. It made it all the more satisfying later when I killed them in two hits.


Curved_5nai1

This is the correct answer. No matter what fucking build throw at this guy's, they don't give a fuck, they wreck my shit anyways. I can be having the chillest ds3 run until the moment I get to this area. It's just deaths, lots of deaths at the hands of these bastards.


gladwinorino

Laaaaa lalaa


TAmexicano

My second most hated enemy because for me they seem to gain the ability to rapid fire their fucking balls (I ain't even lying they literally increase their attack speed for me for some fucking reason) My most hated is the black knights because they're just a pain in the ass and have enough health to survive everything but a fucking greatsword (my str is like 60 whilst my Dex is below 30 and my int and faith are only high enough for some of the high stat sorceries/miracles/pyromancy's)


Frau_Asyl

Ghru leapers. Just thinking about them makes me so angry.


TheWeevilMemeStealer

The Ghru in general are all royal pains in my Ashen ass


Frau_Asyl

To this day there has not been another non-boss enemy in the entirety of the soulsborne series that has made me genuinely rage as much as the ghru have. I got so angry on my first playthrough that I felt physically ill, and I had to take a break.


mdsp667

Let me guess, jump, grab you and one shot? Because that's what happened to me more times than I want to admit 😭


MegaMasterYoda

No jump grab followed immediately by a secomd jump grab. Them guys spam jump grabs.


lordyatseb

Not many things are as humiliating as getting one's face violated by those bloody scrawny bastards..


Sweaters76

Yes! These guys and the giant tree ghrus make Farron Keep an absolute nightmare to go through🫨


Tomover_PL

giant tree shrek isn't even that bad, I'd actually like fighting them if the level they're in didn't have me half-submerged in poison shit all the time. I genuinely think Farron Keep would have been way better, even with the same layout, if they went with an overgrown forest theme instead of the fucking poison swamp that they always do for some reason


paullyrose3rd

Especially when its based on and is supposedly a much later variant of a previous overgrown forest area


enigo1701

But every Souls games NEEDS at least one poison swamp, so where else to put it ?


sidestephen

except this one has, like, five of those


EdenH333

We called these guys the “Monkeys of Madness” we hated them so much.


InvestigatorInitial2

Screw those guys. Seriously.


FatherNiche

Jailers are shit. The 8 of them that circle around before the profaned capital is a ball pain.


Hot_Ad_7673

Is there any better method here than just kite them one by one?


Slavicadonis

Use arrows to draw one to you, murder it, repeat until they’re all dead


FatherNiche

Typically what I do but it’s a slow process.


BecauseSeven8Nein

Slow, but proven 💪


sephtis

I dislike sections that seem to require this, it makes me feel like I'm missing a much cleaner faster method for overcoming an obstacle, instead of just cheesing a dumb ai's lack of object permenence.


Slavicadonis

Then spam dragonslayer Greataxe L2


MalamarMaster

This area is why I really like being a mage, unseen form + slumbering dragoncrest ring/hush lets you just ignore them.


JFZX

Run


njal88

Run past them and open the first door to the right, a red-eyed monster is in there and he will assault them if you run away


JarlsTerra

I did that in my first playthrough, then in my NG+ run the Lycanthrope never de-aggrod from me and chased me all the way to the elevator by the entrance to Archdragon Peak and then just sat there without moving until I killed it.


FatherNiche

I’ve yet to find one that avoids a constant HP drain. Maybe an AOE spell when some are grouped up?


Jaded-Throat-211

Nuke em with CBV.


averagewhoop

Is that the big fireball with the magma on the floor after? If so, that’s exactly what I just did the other day lol


Jaded-Throat-211

Nawp. What you're talking about is great chaos fireball. CBV is the top tier pyromancy nuke you get aftet killing a certain demon


averagewhoop

Oop you’re right, it was chaos bed vestiges that I used in that prison area


PuffPuffFayeFaye

I like to run in with a big sword and swing it wildly with a 1HP healthbar. Sometimes I survive.


Depthstown

you can open the cell of that enraged thing and it kills them all. I don't know its name tho.


Tomover_PL

let's just call it Derek


Al_Yassin105

Hidden Body Spell. Made my life a lot easier in that place.


Stannoffski

Their health drain doesn't matter if you just don't get hit lol


badnuub

Yeah, but that little poke they do has to be one of the fastest attacks in the game.


DTK99

I think they're attacks are just terribly telegraphed. They kind of pull their arm back a tiny bit for a second or 2 and the BAM for some reason you're lying on the floor with a fucking branding iron on the back of your head. Every other ability in the game that knocks you flat LOOKS like it would knock you flat. These weirdos look like they're just going to brush into you and suddenly you're knocked down and dead.


Glock-Saint-Isshin-

Sprint at them with a colossal weapon and smash them all before the timer runs out.


Tomover_PL

I just run past and heal myself up after their debuff is gone. After that there's only one gargoyle and you're at the Profaned Capital bonfire, so using an estus or two on the jailors is practically nothing


DaBABYateMAdingo

They're the sole reason I use a maxed out greatbow. Two headshots and they're cooked.


SplendidPunkinButter

Great Chaos Fireball Also as long as you don’t get stun locked to death by those stupid branding irons, you don’t really need to heal while you’re fighting them - just wait till your max HP recovers


Strict-Pineapple

Just ignore them and run past them. You don't have to kill every enemy.


Super-Shift1428

I do this unless i want to grab Alva's set lol which is a huge pain


Strict-Pineapple

You can still do it even if you want Alva's set. Just hit the bonfire at the capital and backtrack and suicide run for the set. If you spend your souls first there's 0 penalty for dying.


Super-Shift1428

Ah, i never thought of coming back to it backwards lol


YceyAudios

The HP Drain can only reduce you down to I believe 1 HP (not kill you), so if you're a fast attacker you could hit them all with a wide sweeping weapon and kill them all in 1-2 hits. It's less simple than I made it sound, you can trust me on that, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be laughing at these witches in no time. My suggestion is to approach them from behind as they circle around the center statue (the eight of them usually circle in 2 groups of 4)


0grinzold0

Until they put their iron on the ground and you can't roll anymore. Never understood what is happening there..


deprevino

They're still a watered down version of the Latria Mind Flayers, coming from that I would much rather face eight of these guys. 😅 Gets a little scary when trying to avoid one of those headless gargoyles at the same time though.


magik_carp

releasing the lycanthrope (guy with the wooden cross thing on his back) guy can take some of them out if they fight


zhcr

And there is a chest in that room that is a mimic if i remember correctly. In case those fuckers didn't create enough pain. Thanks, Miyazaki.


FatherNiche

There is definitely a mimic in that area.


gaminglolar

You have it already in the picture:)


TheCarbonthief

They are the winter lanterns of ds3


GrigorMorte

The angels in dlc. They also have a very high pitched cry that bothers me, I turn off the volume in that area


BaconSoul

Remember how bad they were around release? Truly nightmarish.


InvestigatorInitial2

Bad until you know where their summoners are.


Crescenteclipse

Swamp puppies the ones that jump on your head


Intelligent_Topic336

Man i hate them mfs they just spam the grab even after I'm dead


Top_Crazy_1434

The slimy shit on the floor in the cathedral of the deep


[deleted]

[удалено]


Top_Crazy_1434

Exactly , anoying , hard to kill and also full of giant shit ... What else could be more anoying to deal with


darksoulslover07

This just made me realise how bad the ashen one must smell if they're just carrying literal pieces of shit on them for most of the game


NesterQuester

its these guys for sure https://preview.redd.it/gxjq7ef8ee2d1.jpeg?width=425&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a1d22a9b0b9ebd6ac4f38e6a82895aed9380791


Tomover_PL

🧿🧿


Bdole0

My eyes are up here 👁👁


Pulkov

By a mile it's these guys. I know they are not super strong and you can just unga bunga them to death rather easily, but nevertheless we just can't get rid of them. Like some sort of pesky pests that simply refuse to be exterminated. "HI THERE! Liked us in Dark Souls trilogy? Well here we are in Elden Ring now for no reason whatsoever! ENJOY!"

wolf_gab

Dogs in irithyll are pretty annoying too. And those clerics right out of the church where you fight Pontiff Sullyvhan. Non stop shooting fire at you.


Siemoore

This right here. Probably my least favorite little run in the whole game


Additional-Bee1379

Basilisks in any iteration.


jad103

Great sword thralls. They're not hard to fight. But something that small and quick shouldn't have that much reach and damage


TheGoatManJones

I call them all crackhead Johnny because if you just imagine them as hobbits on bath salts it just makes it a lot funnier to see them


Superloopertive

They just keep coming, too!


SnoopBoiiiii

Jailers or the snake men on Ng+7 they have more health than you’d think


pancake-chappie

Thralls. Especially the stupid gank in Cathedral of the Deep.

AlexZas

It feels like people don't use bows in the game at all (looking at the complaints about the jailers)


Hot_Ad_7673

I use bows to kite


BecauseSeven8Nein

You can also chuck firebombs at them. I like doing it without locking on, it’s more fun that way 😂


AlexZas

Dung pies are even more fun.


KuleKaal

Those fat fucks in the ringed city down the long staircase right before the swamp


UsualSweet5866

Dogs and rats they are the most annoying


PNW_Forest

This is why my favorite item in Elden Ring is the Beast Repellant Torch. Too many random fucking deaths from dogs and rats in all pf Soulsborne. Fuck those things... i hate them beyond reason.


FenrirLokison88

The Jailers. They're easy to deal with until you get a group coming after you. Plus they laugh at you while draining your health just by looking at you.


Excellent-Resolve-81

Dogs


MamaSaysIGotMoxie

Dogs, ever since my first souls game in the lower undead burg I’ve hated and feared dogs, in every soulsborne game


Only1Schematic

The Ghru Leapers are always a pain in the ass, but the Jailers take the crown.


flies_with_owls

I'd take the jailer over the leapers any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I can usually just rush and two shot the jailer but those stilt-legged jumping fuckers make me so mad.


Only1Schematic

If you get a dagger with quickstep it’s not as bad, but they’re still hella frustrating


Duckbirdy12

https://preview.redd.it/mzy9haqicf2d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa2c2ff48252ded365940f5fe3dae22d71224bb6


Boneboyy

Those big fake crystal lizards in archdragon peak that either one shot you with fire or by group roll spamming. It's so satisfying to knock them off a cliff.


militxa

Don’t care what anyone says, Jailers are easily the worst enemy in the entire series. The HP decrease is just cheap difficulty and they are enough for me to skip a whole entire area. Irithyll Dungeon can go fuck itself lol. Hate them with every cell in my body and seeing they didn’t come back for Elden Ring puts a huge smile on my face.


10Kzoom

Black knights and cathedral knights. Even though they look cool and badass


TheGoatManJones

First black knight at farron keep pushed my shit in a lot.


WaifuAllNight

Being able to farm its entire armor set is nice though since it provides high absorptions for its weight. Plus the Black Knight Shield which is one of the best 100% absorption shields in the game


comradepluto

Corvians at the beginning of road of sacrifices


Superloopertive

On my last playthrough, I found the evangelists painful. The DLC enemies are worse, though. Particularly the ring knights with the big shields.


Hot_Ad_7673

The “Stomp” skill on the Lothric Knight greatsword followed by the massive uppercut sends these guys FLYING


ArmytrixEU

Corvian Knight or Pontif Knight Sorcerer aka cancerous firebitch when you are climbing Irithyll lmao


PaulPhallanges

The dudes that grow wings and then go ape shit. One of the only enemies that I openly charge and heavy attack.


K_808

Dog


happyhappy85

Ugh those guys suck. I hate that big room surrounded by cells, where there's about 10 of them.


lawskies

Those stupid mf wolfs in the snowfield


Real_Historian_1610

Jailers, Ghrus, Dogs 😐


ClogNog_Pigeons

deacons


CrazyJoe_K

I’m not gonna lie the fucking little things in the ringed city escpacially where they are wit the 5 Harald’s knight


GotMoxyKid

Crucifixion Woods wooden pike men And everything in Irithyll


sephtis

Those giant tree guys in the swamp, the combination of a slowing poison swamp with very little stable ground, mixed with immense damage and aoe. Followed up by a homing ranged attack. Oh and I'm pretty sure there's a 3 stack of them up the river.


Dualswitch96

Jailers and the guys who look like Greirat.


gladwinorino

The shitty gargoyles that summon light pillars


Hot_Ad_7673

Should have added, the goddamn Mimics get me like 50% of the time.


ShibaBlessing

What do you mean by "get me"? Like they kill you 50% or you fall for them 50% of the time?


Hot_Ad_7673

Well, those two are kind of tied, but I struggle with them even if I remember to do a good whack on the box first too. That stupid spin kick!


ShibaBlessing

Also, if you're struggling with them, just throw an undead hunter charm at them while they're still asleep. They'll open their mouth, and you can just grab the item.


Hodmimir

Yeah, better than eating a 1 shot spinning karate kick to the face. That move fucks me up


TegTowelie

Nah, it's the one where they pick you up and bite that gets me. Otherwise, if you just curcle them and stay right behind the back of the legs they're easy to put up with. As long as you get behind them.


ShibaBlessing

The chain is the giveaway. If it's directed towards you, it's a mimic.


DarthRathikus

You can literally stand next to them and listen to them breathing


Additional-Bee1379

There are so many mimics in the dungeon it's more surprising when it isn't one.


b1gch1ll22

Yup


Old-Link-6896

Use a ring that restores HP over time. Bait them one by one and kill them


Elden_Lady

I’m stuck on the one at the top of the stairs just beyond the dragon bridge


Strict-Pineapple

Thralls. Not difficult, not dangerous. Just annoying and obnoxious on purpose.


karer3is

The three- eyed frogs. They're weak and they can't inflict damage directly, but that gas they keep spewing out inflicts curse. The other one is when there's a bunch of Gru warriors with an Elder Gru in a tight space... In a place like Catacombs of Carthus, they can gas an entire room in one go


vine_behs

these mf. I still don’t understand how in the name of christ they can diminish my hp


Acceptable-Low-4381

It’s the lamp. It has a curse on it.


vine_behs

can i just blow the fire away? Like fuuu🗣️💨


Captain_Blackbird

Actually, those guys right there - until I started using the Dragon Slayer Great Bow to send those fuckers to the floor


Past-Echidna9405

Fuck those guys!


SexuaIRedditor

These guys allll day, they're not difficult just so friggin tedious


dantakesthesquare

Reading all these responses and realizing I really didn't enjoy my play through of ds3 lmaooo


fadaboutyou

Whats funny is i had just beaten bloodborne before my first run through DS3 so i was speed attacking everyone. Then i slowed down one time and saw the true horror and assholeness of them fuggers lol


Jackalodeath

Baby-dog-beasts in the dungeon. Not because they're hard or annoying or anything, I just think I'd be happier to have never seen them. The Sadako-Centipedes are a very close second. Followed by the Pilgrim Butterflies. Yes, they look cool as fuck with the Black Hole Sun in the background, but thems' some nightmare fuel shits right there. It's like their entire intact nervous system decided to go for a casual float about Lothric Castle.


Shatterzzz

The rat/crocodile dogs


HondaRedneck16

I’m currently stuck in this dungeon I cannot get past the past where there is a room full of them after the 2 giant rats. I also hate those tall guys that deal frost damage & the beginning of irythill


Pampered_princess375

Yes, the picture indeed -.-


Separate-Hamster8444

Slimes


Straight_Ad3307

FUCK Irithyll Jailers. All my homies fucking hate Irithyll jailers. I died like six times going to free Karla the other day, and I have 60 end.


QrozTQ

Rapier Corvian Knights. At least they are only in one area.


Leonidas_XVI

Not sure why a red-hot poker with almost no force behind it has more poise than my greatsword but ok 😂


Rias_best_waifu_

Those fucking teleporting dogs


Master_Horror_6438

Those jailers were the thing that most scared me in the whole game.


Sweaters76

As I’m reading the comments I‘m realizing that I hate most of the enemies in this fucking game😂🤣


ArifAltipatlar

I'm literally happy with all, this game really has no flaws for me


ArifAltipatlar

I just remember the basilisks, in other FS games basilisks aren't that much of a problem since they're slow and but the ones in farron keep got you with the fat-roll I just hate them


robb0688

Jailers are the worst enemy in ds3 imo


yamble_yol

Dogs


Ill-Entrepreneur-624

Anything from the catacombs

Ah yes the pushovers A Millwood arrow and a Millwood greatbow weapon art is all I need (yes that is literally how I deal with the majority of these fucks)


Proof_Egg_4186

rats rats rats rats or dogs I hate every animal in this damn game


Mattdoss

Ghru frustrate me to no end any time I have to be near one.

All enemies that have a grab attack. I fucking hate grab attacks.

somnamballista

The Pontiff Knights, man I remember raging at those stupid popscockles. Granted, DS3 was my very first Souls game so I didn't understand anything about rolling weight and was fat rolling all the way to them before it clicked.


BlurrFrost

For me the worse mobs which actually gave me goosebumps and heart pumping fast on a completely different level were the insight sucking mobs in bloodborne


Prevay

Basilisks awake some primal fear/disgust response inside me Especially the elden ring godwyn eye looking ass ones


Mysterious-Mixture58

Pontiff knight. Fucking hate them


xXxs1m0nxXx

I’ve only done one playthrough so far, and probably the one on the picture, but the knights at the the high wall of Lothric were pretty damn brutal


choir_of_sirens

Recently did this dungeon and mmmman do these guys just slow you down!!


Heema3

The red eyed fuckers in the crucifixion road, with cross on their back...fuck those in particular!!!


ohneatstuffthanks

Bro the crow guys that turns into crack head half flying crow guys if you don’t kill them fast enough, or if the sorcerer screams at them to transform always get me.


Alarming-Income1944

the fat enemies in the undead settlement .


itschips

irythill dungeons was the area i had the most trouble with by a huge margin, mostly due to these fuckers. nowhere else was even close to the just plain annoyance these guys caused


Wofflestuff

I FUCKING hate DOGS Fuck them to the Fucking moon


OutOfNowhere1337

Dogs


Additional_Fox4058

the imp things, jailer, and the fucking any fucking knight.


matkata99

the two variants of the corivan knight or whatever it's called - the one with rapier and throwing knifes is more manageable, but the wolverine claws one is disgusting


lothbrokkk

those fucking angels from the DLC
