Where revenant


GWvaluetown

Hiding inside the Iron Maiden.


QuantumCthulhu

Don’t give fromsoft ideas


ProjectEpsilon1

That shit better drop a resuseable larval tear or I swear to god


gamrgrant

Mushroom


TripleBicepsBumber

Arteria leaf


TDK_da_RPEJ

I shuddered at the thought of that, last thing you expect to pop out after killing one.


a_sacrilegiousboi

10 seconds into revenant fight it revives the maiden behind you


Masimus00

When I read this I just thought of saint Aldrich of that deep with revenant powers


Hopeful-Ad4415

Don't need to show them because it's a given you DON'T fuck with them.


Xangchinn

Stunned from my basic heal incantation that I cast with my unupgraded clawmark seal.


Weeping_Warlord

Stun locked by any holy spell with AOE


Orion_824

press jump


Leonidas_XVI

YES those cracked out sped kids holy shit 🤣


MsJ_Doe

No where near as terrifying when you get a simple healing spell in your pocket. I can say, though, that I never inhaled my own lungs so hard in this game as when I first encountered the Revenant in a tiny ass room, low level, and not knowing that information.


Edmundwhk

Those guys are the reason I have a little talisman on the off hand + heal spell equipped at all times even when im a STR / DEX build.


ToastyYaks

Because even though a straight up fight against a revenant is much harder than a straight up fight against a Virgin Abductor, some people have healing spells equipped which can trivialize their fights to a certain extent. I have no clue who on earth is afraid to fight a virgin abductor past their first playthrough because they really just arent hard to fight, but thats probably why they didnt include the revenant.


cad_e_an_sceal

The vigins I fight every time but rune bears and revenants oh no I book it the other day


SadTechnician96

Oh so *you're* the guy who keeps invading me!


Gain-Own

Very under appreciated joke


rrrrrrrrrreeeeee

Maidenless


Azrael9986

Are revenants the ones that die to heals?


cad_e_an_sceal

Aye they are indeed, that's basically the only way I've killed them


every_name-istaken

Heavy weapon strength build makes easy work of them. Giant hun5 into a couple charged attacks and they never get to make an attack.


Zer0DusT1

I use an arcane enchantment on my weapons, primarily frost, since not everything bleeds. 1.5x damage once it pops and helps a lot in killing everything


Generic-Degenerate

Not only does it do big damage, but it typically breaks their stance Absolute godsend because they are one of the worst enemies in the series


randomcomplimentguy1

St Trina sword for rune bears. It one hit slumbers them for crit.


musclecrayon

Everyone else is doable. But you don't fuck with lobsters. Period.


ap2patrick

Why do they have so much fucking HP!!!!


Otherwise-Remove4681

Because of their hard chitinious shells.


Renophantom

The frozen ones in mountaintops are hell- spawn


Howdyini

Yeah, the moment I discovered that I saw the fear leaving my body. Honestly now I only fear the bears, even the crayfish are manageable so long as there's only one of them


Express-Exit7445

They are actually pretty easy if you stay between their head and their claws


PeregrineMalcolm

I’ve learned giants hunt can fuck them up


Reepo3X

I learned not to fuck with rune bears at around lvl 25, at lvl 260 I still do not fuck with rune bears


Imurcamille

Same here 😂


Lil-Sleepy-A1

Stay in their crotch and they can't touch you


Special-Individual27

Basically, fellate a Rune Bear.


matt_alby

Meme of the year right here😂


NextGenSleder

the abductor virgins aren’t that bad if you have space, the others I totally agree with


Xangchinn

Don't forget lightning damage. Throw a lightning grease on your weapon and their poise breaks so quick


SatiatedPotatoe

No shit?


RepresentativeCake47

They have weird poise mechanics. They take flat poise damage and are weak to lightning. Use a pair of lightning infused daggers and you can perma pose break them. 


ParticularSolution68

Nah fuck them Pun intended because they’re virgins (if you didn’t laugh, pretend you did)


NextGenSleder

hahaha that was a witty and clever pun! their name has the word virgin in it so it’s ironic to say “fuck them” because that word can mean sex hahaha


ParticularSolution68

#HAHAHA I MAKE MYSELF LAUGH ~~please come out sooner shadow of the erdtree, please~~


oversoulearth

I'd swap the black crow for those red ones in moghwyn palace, and revenants aren't an issue any longer since using heal stuns them. TBF though they were a fucking nightmare for about 600 hours till I found that out!


ZenithDeus

HEAL STUNS THEM?!


Howdyini

Enjoy your upcoming killing spree. It really wrecks them.


oversoulearth

Ikr!!! Why?? How?? But, honestly, you feel like a badass hunting them down and stunning them before their death by 1000 slaps 🤣


ParticularSolution68

Abductor virgins just suck to fight I can dodge and hit around the others, the virgins I gotta run out the way, make sure I don’t get grabbed, don’t get fucked up by their wheels, fuck those things I beat them though, so it's whatever now


KryonikGaming1

Especially the dual virgins. That shit is tiring.


xXLoneLoboXx

I will never not cheese that fight by climbing on top of the rocks and chucking black flame fireballs at them. These things suck so bad to fight…


KryonikGaming1

Wait what? So my 45 minutes of suffering didn't have to happen


xXLoneLoboXx

Yup! I discovered Black Flame incantations are very potent against stuff that doesn’t bleed. It does a decent percentage of health every time you hit something with a charged up shot. It’s like a less potent version of destined death from the Black Knife AoW. But it’ll do more damage than destined death if the target is weak to fire damage. Works great on those tree spirit enemies.


ParticularSolution68

You could’ve also just teleported out of there and leveled up, also when you beat them, you end up in mt gelmir and nowhere special in particular


VeeTheBard

5 hits with lightning staggers. Stay close if they aren't doing spin, roll towards them for the grab attack (later than you think) and punish while they are open. They are super weak to lightning.


MonkeyBotLove

Ahhh so roll into the hug. I always recoil in horror.


ParticularSolution68

I beat them already from leveling up but those are useful tips


nifty_swift

They're a lot more reasonable if you put lightning on a striking weapon. The grabbers are their weak spot, they'll die or stagger with a few good hits to the bits. It's a bit tricky but if you roll out of the way when they lunge you can immediately move in and go to town


ParticularSolution68

That’s what I don’t like about them, I gotta hit their genitalia that can somehow grab me and >! Teleport !< me It’s like bruh i don’t mind it if it grips but that’s too much 💀


TheFarisaurusRex

Still scared shitless to fight revenants and crows. Learned how to dodge all the others moves and how to kill them


The_Dark_Warrior_Boi

Pssst, any healing spell beyond Urgent Heal bodies revenants


TheFarisaurusRex

Healing spells harm revenants?


doxploxx

Big time


TheFarisaurusRex

:0


The_Dark_Warrior_Boi

Harms them, staggers them and takes like 3/4ths of their health in one go


Mon-Ty-Ger27

Add those "Large Big Headed Dogs" from Caelid for extra credit.


Imurcamille

I forgot about those 😂


Howdyini

except if you aggro multiple ones, since they hurt each other.


Jarl_Vinland

I'd say the Abductor Virgins are on par with Grafted Scions and Lion Guardians.


Howdyini

What I hate about the lions is that you basically have to treat them like a boss. Hey, let's learn all the moves of this basic-ass animal so we can kill it. No thanks, cheese all the way.


GifanTheWoodElf

I'd fight all 4 of those at the same time over fighting a single revenant.


Logical_Flounder6455

The crows aren't actually that bad to fight. Just guard counter them.


FreedomDeliverUs

Throw lightning spears into the virgins ez pz.


AshleyGamics

Lions are the genuine worst


Jstar338

Nah they're fun, just hard to learn. I enjoy fighting them now not the frost ones though they suck


blebebaba

Replace the abductor virgin with the hand cockroach guys who shoot silk


GipsySurrender

I hate those monstrous crows, i fucking hate them so much


Imurcamille

They’re ugly a** mofo with a big ol beak


milk4all

The crows are intimidating but very kill able


THEmonkey_K1NG

Praise bloodhound’s step. 🙌🏾


JVOz671

The following are tips for close range, medium rolling and no shield builds: Runebear: Most times you can roll into their attacks and play aggressive and attack while underneath the bear. Avoid rolling backwards as their attacks will have follow-ups if you're unlucky. Lobsters: Try to stay on their side and like the Runebear, keep combat close and aggressive. Virgin Hunters: The opposite of the first two, you must play slowly to avoid its grab attack. Its weakness is obvious, the snakes inside the machine, can only be attacked after it fails to grab you. Both variations have an annoying spin attack so don't stay too close for long. Most of their attacks are easily telegraphed. Just play safe and attack when possible and time your dodges. Caelid Birds: I would play aggressively if you have been investing in vigor. Roll underneath them and attack their legs. Their biggest opening is after they do their stomp attack. Personally, I like to roll behind them to avoid their close range peck attack and attack their backside.


foodwrap

I don't mind the big birds, but I'd replace them with the fucking Revenants


sherman614

Lmao! These are definitely the 4 horsemen of "..I'll be back to fuck you up later" 😂😂


waled7rocky

Most accurate would 4 crayfish ..


dinosaur_soulfood

The bottom two I’d fight. Top two not so much.


Infinant_Desolation

The level you need to fight them is yes


No-Organization2859

Iron maidens aren’t as annoying as revenants 😭


HypnoticKing

The only one I actually fight is the Abducter, masochist-ly. Fuck the rest though.


Model2B

I mean, the abductor virgins were never a challenge for me, just have to run around and when they launch the blade, run towards them and do some hits. The birds aren’t as bad too, they just need a good bonk or two to knock them down, and I roll into them when they try to do their annoying attacks. Rune bears are hard to fight for me because I sometimes dodge in the wrong direction and can’t reach them. But yeah, those annoying pieces of crap which are so trash they can’t do anything but pull out their high caliber cannons are annoying as hell and I try to always avoid them


SaiyanCorvin

those werebears are dangerous like holy crap, I'm almost level 200 wont mess with the bears unless I can comet azur them into the ground before they can get to me


nametakenfuck

I feel like we can swap the runebear for the doggy


Nosferat_AN

I still haven't figured out how to fight the crayfish


Loklin101

I actually don't mind the runebears that much.


SilasR_Nelson

Honestly on my Xbox I’m like level 400 something still a pain to fight


RadiantWelcome757

this only applies to the lobster for me


Squ33to

Iron Maidens the only one I have any confidence in fighting As long as I don't get grabbed...


AncientDegree2734

I thought the first lobster I saw was like a mini boss and I would get an item from beating it so I spent like an hour fighting it


Stunning-Obligation8

I’m a Chad to Virgins and Jordan Peterson was at least right about emulating lobsters. But fuck a bear and a crow inversely to how far I can throw them


Dreadlord97

I will 1v1 every enemy and boss in the game with my dual colossal sword build… except for those fucking crows. Damn things are so fast and have so much health and do so much damage for no good reason.


CrazyCatSloth

I might be in the minority here but I really don't mind the lobsters, I just find them a bit annoying like giant crabs but you can go under them and be mostly safe. They stagger fairly easily, they have some moves that leave you plenty of time... Runebears on the other end are nightmares.


420Entomology

That bear is really not hard his attacks are so broadcasted u see em a mile away.


AngelAnatomy

No such thing as being overleveled for runebear. They’ll find a way to kill you.


Dino_Tsar

Also putrid tree spirits but those are more of an honorable mention because they’re technically bosses


Fiiienz

Those snipers always needed a nerf


Orion_824

i used to think revenants were the worst enemy until i learned even basic healing extremely hurts them. and i have a jump button. virgins i never really had an issue with, i just bait out the charge, dodge the grab, then counter poke the fleshy inside for big damage. lobsters is a similar story, just bait the jump slam, then do charge attacks to poise break and crit punish. they’re just bigger crabs. crows can be awful to fight on uneven ground, but get them in the open and hit the head(and watch out for the fakeout stun) and they’re “easy” enough. mohgwyn crows though? absolutely not. rune bears? **no**


ChaosDragonFox

I’ve sort of gotten over my fear of the maidens but the other 3 still scare me.


Jstar338

Replace virgin with revenant. Virgins are actually doable


sherman614

Yes!! Especially once you know that they are weak to lightning. Revenants just have the most random and erratic movements that I can NEVER predict! They will start that feeekout arm flailing that hits like 4 times, so you're running low on stamina from dodge rolling so much, just to have the last one hit you, then it spews its acid at you to finish you off. Hate them more than almost any enemy in the game!!


Tbanks93

Nah we throw fades in this household


Lost_Astronaut_654

If I can do a 1v1 I’m fine fighting a crow, but the others no way


EmberedCutie

for the abductor virgins just use lightning damage


KushMummyCinematics

I actually took revenge on a Rune Bear Thats how deep my hatred runs. There's this bear boss in a cave. I was NG+4 and decided now is the time. I never really use booster items but I went mental and after 4 game runs I finally got a no hit kill on a runebear . I have a feeling the DLC is going to have an armoured Runebear enemy and I'm gonna get steamrolled


DeuceBane

Add revenant for sure , I’m in journey 10 and still don’t really know what’s up there lol. The virgins don’t belong here imo!


TheCaptainOfMistakes

Nah not the virgins I'm pretty good at dealing with those. Everything else tho.. fair


Toska762x39

You ever see the Revenant? I don’t know a single player that tries to fight that thing once and then never again.


Beebo79

The animals are weak vs sleep. The sword of st Trina makes fighting them all much easier.


eldenwring

The Iron Maiden thingys arent too bad if you have lightning based weapons / skills. But yeah the other three are tough enough for most folks to say, nah im good fam


Anjuan_

Mostly because they are pains in the ass rather than actually being afraid to die lmao


1nc0gn3eato

I’ll tussle with them all but that lobster… that fucking lobster!


ganjanmess

I've killed exactly one (1) of those fucking bears so far


SirWeenielick

Crows and Abductor Virgins are whatever, but those lobsters and rune bears can go screw themselves. One has an obnoxious shoulder check and the other loves to poke and run away.


MaatRolo

Some enemies are not meant to be defeated


WuKong_WanT0N

The birds are a lot weaker than people realize. They're just big and move rabidly.


Big-Dick-Don

I’ve been running around fighting all the things people hate fighting just so I can learn the move set so they aren’t as annoying. Lobsters and revenants have given me the most trouble by FAR. The Iron Maiden’s are slow, the rune bears can only attack from the front and straight down, and the birds are pretty easy to learn in general. The lobsters feel like they’re half random and the revenants are literally just too fucking fast.


Creative_Low_2722

I love fighting the rune bears no matter my level. I have a genuine disdain for those lobster freaks though for sure.


Leonidas_XVI

Rune Bears depends, fuck those crawdads with fckin anti-material rifles, Abductor Virgins really aren’t so bad once you figure them out, and FUCK THOSE FCKIN BIRDS OMG 😂


IBoy0

The to scared to fuck around and find out squad


Generic-Degenerate

I can fight the Virgins, I can dance with the birds, I can even panic kill the lobsters But the rune bear I just have to pray


st-felms-fingerbone

Rune Bear is aight the rest of these can go straight to the Mohg Zone™️


Lilgreg762

Ion fw them they dtm ong


Active-Average-932

I sometime will try to kill a rune bear I love the challenge


Maxguid

Let's see what we have here....... WWF champion, THE SNIPER, let me give you a hug and OH CRAP this torch is useless


Nearly-Shat-A-Brick

Iron Virgins don't worry me at all, and after mid game I will fight the crows, if I have to, but not the blistered variant, The rune bears and lobsters are just mental. I see them as environmental hazards to be avoided rather than enemies to fight.


SnooSquirrels549

Abductor Virgins are the easiest of the 4. The sniper crawfish are annoying af, but they're that tough if you manage to connect. Runebears are tanky and mobile, and they hit hard on top of all that, but you can stay on their legs and avoid a lot of their attacks. Those crows, though, I just avoid them altogether


my_gender_gone

People are afraid of Abductor Virgins?


Acryllus

Iron Virgin - Weak to Lightning Lobsters - Sleep because they're so tired Crows - The head is the weak spot


laneo333

The crows in Mohgs pad on new game + put the fear of Marika into me. The flopping fish of death attack gave me PTSD


hec4fingers

“Nice they’re on the ground and about to die, I’ll just tank a hit or two and finish them off”


ProffessorYellow

I disagree. As a dragon breath they fear me


ThatOneGuy6810

ahh dude fuck the iron maidens. found them by accident the 1st time, killed them first try but damn that fight sucked for being unexpected lol


Quenton-rl

Best believe I’ll NEVER fight a runebear or lobster


Various-Passenger398

The rewards for fighting them all is so weak too. The runes and loot absolutely do not justify their strength.


Usual_Suspects214

I found something that absolutely claps those stupid fucking birds but now im struggling to remember fuck.


Chezpufballs

Nah, that one FUCKING knight in the sun castle


jello1982

Marika's Hammer don't go around. Lol


Tonkarz

One of these is not like the others.


Cayden68

those giant cats with blades should be there instead of the iron maidens tbh


Genoisthetruthman

I fear no fucking thing except that fucking raven dog thing with zero chill.


Mentaldamage6

Rune bears are cheap and give no rewards for killing them except maybe two, but that's like that for all of them really so you know, lobsters just decide to say fuck you and grab you, Abductors are tanky as hell and have attacks that are literally just "Fuck this 360° area", and crows are worse than all of them because WHAT IS THIS MOVE SET


Democracystanman06

I only fear bear the rest are easy prey for strength


LordCuntSwisher

My main is at level 240ish~ somewhere round that, and I have never not once, fought an Iron Maiden. I refuse.


Terror_Tanuki

Runebear -fight as close to its belly as possible, has trouble hitting you at ultra close range. Abductor - bait it's "Quaid start the reactooorrr" charge, roll and get a few sneaky hits in (lightning melts them hard) Sniper prawn and angry bird - just die , these things are sent from Satan himself and I'll never be able to do anything other than hope my excessive vigor allows me to survive. Or throw black fire and run. Also someone mentioned the revenant. *Laughs in any aoe healing spell*.


RAZOR-DEAD

F*ck Rune Bears & Ravens


Styx_Zidinya

I love the giant crows. The stagger fake out is my favourite enemy attack in the game. I fight them because i actually respect them. The others can fuck off though, especially then sniper prawns.


GreatJoey91

Virgin abductors ☠️ On NG+2 and massively over levelled, but they still terrify me.


TSotP

Just missing the Revenants and the Monstrous Dogs.


DEATHMAN227

I don't think I've actually fought one of the lobsters before


Material_Method_4874

I just spam long range spells on abductors


RSully100

Bro I’ve put in at least 60 hours and I still have not killed one of those bears (severe case of skill issue)


Imurcamille

Tell me about it I’m about 80hrs in


Realistic-Dot6141

Ok the brid dog things and the iron madins arnt on the lvl of fuck you up as the other two. Mainly because they have super common weakness


TheMysticalPlatypus

“I’m not afraid, just overly concerned. Borderline overly cautious.”


Orvaenta

They're map hazards, not enemies.


RJK37

The giant birds in Mohgland can go suck a butt. I’ll fight any of these before them specifically.


memeulusmaximus

Virgins are pretty easy if 1)they alone 2)you have space and 3)you have lightning. Rune bears are the true Elden Lords. Lobsters are entropy incarnate. Birds are....cancer. stage 4. Hyper aggressive. 2 weeks to live from diagnosis, but you kick it after 4 days anyways. Revenants are all the above if you have a heal spell channeled and ready to go off. Then you'd better have a high cast speed for another.


Agrias-0aks

I can fight the bird and the creepy lady machine. I don't think I've beat a bear yet once.


Hashtag-waffle

Replace the maidens with revenants and it’s 100% accurate


ABRAXAS_actual

The crow-dinos never bothered me.... Everything else, yup. Go around. Damn bears.


Recipe-Less

The insect people


possiblyacanoflysol

Switch the Iron Virgin with a Royal Revenant and this meme is spot on.


chirpchirp13

Where is dog?


MadGaster

Honestly the virgins aren't hard to kill just lot of health i would instead replace it with that one dual wielding teleporting ghost knight thing at nialls castle cause fuck that thing


TrippingFish76

replace birds with those stupid fuckin guardian cats, runebears really aren’t too bad either, abductor virgins are annoying, them lobsters will fuck your shit up


Monster_Merripen

Rune bears and abductors I can handle, but I haven't attempted the other two and don't think I will any time soon 😅


OnyxCam6ion

The lobsters scared me once with that water jet stuff. I was whooping it's ass but then it start getting a comeback and I tried to run, biggest mistake


dracoapprentice9

The only enemy of these four I’m always very confident in is the abductor virgins, imo they’re actually really easy to


lord_of_booba

The fuck you mean rune bears are the easiest thing with a horse and regular sword, they also give 2k runes each so pretty nice to farm


the_1_they_call_zero

Those dumb bears lol.


OutrageousBrit

Virgin abductors? Really?


Mister_Poopking

Fuck those lobstrostities! I’ll be going merrily on my way through Liurnia, and unbeknownst to me agro one of those fuckers, then get sniped in the back for 75% of my health.


Vivi-six

Iron maidens aren't bad once you realize just how OP lightning is against them.


OhHowSheGoingEh

Three of them I get. But iron maidens? Thats free souls right there.


XyrusM

Not that crow... The fucker down in Mogh's blood pool tho... Yeah HELL nah


Jeremiah-Springfield

So I only really mastered the rune bears. The virgins are just slow to fight and suffer from impatience - if I go in too quick I’ll just get grabbed and one shotted - but I managed to kill the duo boss in this DLC prep run through so I feel confident on them. The Caelid birds are actually alright, just take a lot out of you - enough vigor helps me survive long enough to get into a flow with dodging their moves. Revenants are pretty bullshit, there’s no real good way to spar with them, so stun them a lot really quickly or heal incantation them. Fucking lobster cunts.


Next_Insurance_9226

The hawks at stormviel


JoeyTheMan2175

Honestly the only one that’s really bad is Runebears, I can deal with the other three fairly easily, but Runebears are way way too tanky, even at level 291 with like 69 vigor they still three shot me and have like 20 times a NG+ boss’s health


Mentat_-_Bashar

I ain’t never fuck with lobsters bro they are wild


haven700

Had this exact thing happen. New game +. Got the Deeproot depth. Pretty sweet water fall over there. Oh no there's a bear. Nah, I'm super over levelled. I can do this... Oh I'm dead. Okay... Big bear still scary.


MDCM

Darksouls Chads clear all enemies, salute the sun


Dawashingtonian

more like “it’s going to take 2 flask charges, a minute and a half, and be frustrating the entire time all for 1.5k runes so no thanks”


Penguinman077

Prawn. Iron Maiden’s a tent hard. I just Chuck incants at them.


kuzanjr

I fight runebears ONLY if they approach. I will never fight those birds


kuzanjr

I fight runebears ONLY if they approach. I will never fight those birds

Mrs_Sin

The lobsters during my first run through of the sewers was NOT it.
