The Worst Enemy in Every Souls Game (Including Elden Ring) 

Thanks for watching :) Here’s the link to the shirts: emberdrops.co/products/dont-give-up-skeleton-tee I worked super hard on these and the quality is amazing! They fit a little longer too which I personally prefer and they don’t shrink in the wash from my experience so far. I’m only keeping them up until Halloween, enjoy!

I feel like for Bloodborne the jailers are SLIGHTLY annoying, but imo the Winter lanterns are a LOT worse

Revenants are the most horrific and annoying opponent in any FromSoft game for me, kinda disappointing to not even get a mention tbh. I’d take on an army of crucible knights before facing another one of those bastards.

I love the crucible knights, they're super fun to fight in my opinion. for me the most annoying elden ring enemy are the royal revenants and it's not even close

The Revenant in Elden Ring is by far the most annoying and bullshit boss/enemy I have ever fought in a FromSoft game before.

Im surprised there was no mention of the winter lantern from bloodborne, they build up frenzy just looking at you and have a punishing grab that always made me just run away

In a game with Runebears and... worst of all *REVENANTS* you chose the actual cool knight with a fair move-set. I do respect your opinion, these games have the rare ability to be hard for people in areas that are easy for others, and Vice Versa. But yeah... *Revenants*

I'm surprised the Winter Lanterns from Bloodborne didn't even get an honorable mention. Their song still gives me chills down the spine every time I hear it.

The Crucible Knights with parries are some of the most enjoyable fights in the game imo. The relentless aggression and massive health they have is pretty much irrelevant because of how easy they are to parry, which always makes fighting them feel like a power trip.

It's impossible to choose just one extremely annoying enemy in elden ring But for me the storm veil birds are the most awful

Birds in Elden Ring are by far the most annoying type of enemy. Worst Boss (Death Rite), worst normal enemies. The ones in Stormveil and Farum Azula are top tier fuckery.

I love how the run to Pinwheel is WAYYY harder than the actual fight

Very enjoyable video, though I have to disagree on the Crucible Knights : yes, you can't stagger them and they often punish you for healing, but their design is awesome, their moveset is pretty consistent and predictable, and once you get the timing right to dodge their attacks, they are amongst the most enjoyable ennemies in the game. ALSO : No Runebears ? No Revenants ? Those were by far the most frustrating ennemies for me. Tell me in the comments if you agree guys !

I agree with most of the enemies you have chosen but dear god, the Winter Lanturns in Bloodborne are a pain in the ass. Every time I hear their voice I am just running for my live and hope 😂

The invisible assassins and those magic archers in elden ring are definitely my most hated

Love how you add the music’s games to add to the feel and also love how you fit in comedy. Great video as always

I’m going to disagree with your last one. Crucible knights are a lot of fun to me. They’re hard at first, but they become an easy enemy once you learn their patterns. They’re one of the few enemies in the game with a reasonable moveset that I mastered. Parrying them is a lot of fun. To get a heal off. Start running back and when he does the forward stab dodge back if necessary. Then you can get a heal. The enemy is hard and they try to bait out your heals. I think challenging is a better term for them than annoying. Again, parrying them is fun/ learning their moveset, which wasn’t too hard for me. Awesome video as always. Just a difference in opinion. I hate those birds too. I agreed with the other choices too.

Crucible knight is my favorite enemy in the game... Theres an awesome rhythm to the fight if you dont suck. Revenant and rune bear are the worst lol

That Drakekeeper is my nemesis. It took me forever to realize he can’t go down the stairs, and you can (and should) cheese him with ranged. I genuinely think he’s bugged and never got fixed. The is no pause if the AI spams his combo, and you will not get a window to attack if the RNG is bad.

The most annoying enemy in dark souls 2 for me was the explosion guys in the Dragon Aerie. They literally do zero damage and just break all your armor and rings. I spent like 50k souls reparing all my items during my time there 😾

3:20 No, they don't spawn infinitely and you can even kill them so often they won't ever come back in that run etc. I did and tried it myself after reading about it since it was just too annoying for me dealing with them over and over before Lud & Zallen x-x

honestly i would pick the judicators from ds3 dlc as the most annoying. Even tho theres only 2 of them that are a real threat the archers will probably oneshot you . And even if you get close they can still slap you for unreasonable damage and summon knights to fight up close

You cannot unsee this now but DS3 Thralls are the base of the Elden Ring Stone imps

Crucible Knight is such an odd choice. They're probably the first enemy in the game that I felt I knew their moveset 100% and after that they were a joy to fight. 2nd phase even has easier telegraphs for easier heals.

The Mind Flayers almost made me give up forever - so annoying until I leveled my winged spear. Honorable mention to the revenants in Elden Ring and those singing brains from Bloodborne that cause frenzy!

you forgot the haligtree knight, literally the most op common enemy in FromSoft games they have great bow, long sword, shield, magic, lightning and can even heal themselves the worst are 2 knights next to putrid avatar

The giant runebears and revenants for sure. But let's also not forget. Those teleporting knights in castle sol

Would love to have you mention the input reading Elden Ring introduced, that's the most frustrating thing about the crusible knight, he knows you're healing therefore he has a move to punish healing

9:28 lmfao. That made me laugh Also, personally my least favorite elden ring enemy are those fanged imps. They hit hard, and move way too fast. I just hate fighting them. They get easy after a bit, especially with a holy build, but there’s usually up to 3 running and jumping at you impossible to dodge.

For Elden ring imo it’s between the Giant Blood crows (area before Mohg) and the Giant Lobsters. The Caelid crows were manageable at best but damn I got my assed kicked beyond belief in the later game off them

To be fair the crucible knight is actually a teaching tool for the game. It teaches you that not every enemy can be staggered or traded with and you will at some points you will have to dodge unrelenting attacks without healing. It’s a test of endurance as a prelude to tougher enemies you fight later in the game.

for bloodborne lots of people mentioned winter lanterns but i think the worst is those massive shark guys in the fishing hamlet. fighting two of them for the Rakuyo is brutal.

I would like to add the little dwarf assassins for Sekiro and the hands for Elden Ring. They pretty much check every box you listed for annoying enemies: they come in numbers, spam attacks with unpredictable animations that can stunlock you and have a surprising amount of health.

Crucible knights become pretty trivial when you get the counter down, and the eagles are easily dispatched by a guard counter. The invisible assassins are the worst. Grab you out of nowhere and force you to offhand a torch just to be able to see them.

I think the basilisks are a really good contender for ds1, since if you get cursed you lose half your health on every respawn until you cure it, and the cures are very hard to come by. On top of that in older versions curses could stack, meaning you could be left with 1/16 of your max health if you got cursed enough

I hate to be that guy but the Crucible Knights are very good design promoting skill. You can't bullshit your way with chained poise-breaks or status effects, but you can parry them and doing so feels great. There's plenty of bad enemies in Elden Ring, Crucible Knights aren't one of them

For Bloodborne, I think winter lanterns and the giant fishing hamlet sharks are way worse

Crucible knights taught me never to heal while an enemy/boss is in neutral. I'm 80% sure they input read, and run you down the second you pick the flask.

Just found your videos and I can see the quality instantly, I really enjoy watching them and I hope you can be successful here

Fromsoft lock-on camera: "I'm something of an annoyance myself"

9:10 wait, are you saying you don’t roll whenever they go for an attack (even if you know it won’t hit you)

Watching this video with my little cousin...He just asked me who Riley Reid was...goddammit

Been watching alot of your videos and I can see why your channel is growing so fast. You always have great footage good audio quality and read scripts very naturally, not only that but you have a good mix of genuine takes and humor, good work man

You got the outro just right this time. Its perfect

I'm shocked the Alonne Knights in DS2 didn't even get a mention, holy smokes the speed on those guys was ridiculous. Coupled up with the terrible boss runs (smelter demon, Sir Alonne) they were just an insanely annoying enemy, definitely my worst

Personally surprised you didn't mention Ulcerated Tree Spirits, considering they LOVE to jump and flop around their arenas, making it hard to keep track of them, which especially sucks when in the early game their grab attack is a guaranteed one-shot, also there are so goddamn many of them

How the Revenant in Elden Ring didn’t get (at LEAST) an honorable mention, I will never understand. If you aren’t a faith build they are a nightmare, especially in Elphael

I know everything there is to know about Crucible knight and have fully mastered his entire move set because of his gael in the early game, I didn’t even level up at that point and just stuck to it til I beat him as a lvl 10 samurai

For elden ring those big hands are definitely the worst for me, hands down ;). But as a pure Meele build rn trying to get close to them is just an instant hit and they hit so hard and they keep hitting!

I only had trouble with the sword crucible knights, I felt like the ones with the spears had an easier attack pattern to avoid, plus they didn’t have a shield so you could do better damage

One more enemy I can think of in DS2 is the Alonne knights from Iron keep, the fact that they can spot you from 2 miles away and they come running at you in groups with pretty fast attacks that cause bleed, plus you have to fight all of them every time you die to smelter demon make this area the most frustrating and annoying.

Great video and I definitely agree with most of your picks. May the short outro jokes nev-!

Crucible knights are really fun once I learned the parry timing. The birds really only get better when you have enough damage to burst them in a few hits, for some reason you can’t riposte them when they fall on the floor.

I love the content but I literally subscribed purely for that outro alone. I am sure the sub will go a long way keep up the dope videos haha

The garbing Cthulhu guys from Bloodborne; that is the pain I will never forget.

I’m just now getting into DS1 in 2022! Can’t wait to play the rest of the games

I love crucible knights. Cool moveset. A good number of them drop gear or magic, and offer a challenge. Anything that you can't backstab, charged heavy/jump attack and repeat is appreciated.

LOVE your outros. Never change.

My top 10 for ER: 1:Farum Azula birbs 2:Runebears 3:Revenants 4:Imps 5:Kindred of rot 6:Those Volcano manor snake soldiers 7:Nox swordstresses 8:Miners (in early game) 9:Raya Lucarian machinegunners 10:Erdtree burial watchdogs

Hey I like the jokes you fit in the videos! I didn't think you did that in your previous ones, or maybe I just forgotten about them. Anyway keep up the great works!

been enjoying all your content man! your voice does remind me of an old ark youtuber i used to watched called thickfreedom xp

So many annoying elden ring enemies. The sniper lobsters, the revenants, the birds, The archers that defend the rooftops to get to the halig tree, the invisible assassins in that same area and the underground aimbot ghost archers.

Love your videos lol always fun :D

Nahh, your outros are class. Keep it up!

Winter lanterns,demon dogs and bell maidens with their infinite spider spawns that home in on you from miles away are by far the most annoying enemies in bloodborne.

Hope you do best enemies in every souls game next video

It's probably because I've recently been exploring the sub-terranean shunning grounds, but by far the most annoying enemies in elden ring are the omens, they have way to much health and have annoying ass magic attacks, plus they can climb ladders, how great

Wow you are such a great RU-vidr! So glad I found you!!!

Bro, that was a dope-ass outro. 10/10 would watch again.

For fighting crucible knights I recommend light rolling as you can get better distance between them, and it'll be generally easier to roll their attacks. Use a greatsword or a weapon with some kind of ranged weapon art and they are not that difficult.

You can actually stagger the crucible knights in Elden Ring. I've done it before to the evergaol one in Stormhill. I think I just got lucky though because it requires an extreme amount of aggression that 99% of the time, they simply won't allow you to have.

The sharks in bloodborne are my nemesis, for me, getting rakuyo for the platinum was almost as bad as the entirety of the chalice grinding and is several hours of my life I will never get back

Yup. This is the content I’m looking for. Subscribed.

Demon’s Souls - *those* skeletons Dark Souls - Zombie dragon legs (or whatever those fuckin things are meant to be) Dark Souls 2 - reindeer in frigid outskirts Dark Souls 3 - Jailer Elden Ring - misbegotten

Crucible knights are one of my favorite enemies to fight ever, they're so telegraphed, well designed and it feels so satisfying to learn their pattern, becomes like a dance. The birds defenitely takes the cake for me, not explenation's needed.

I love the Snatchers, they are just Bloodbornes version of Santa.

I love whenever you post. Keep it up

Bro this outro is top tier 🤣👌 Also great video.

Crucible knights are some of my favorites in all Of the souls/borne series. No joke, they have incredible move sets, each set is very predictable once studied, the timing to the parry is huge, and if you remember the black knights in DS1, it should feel like a modern twist to on old favorite. They are stylish and just absolutely fun every time I find one!

Honorable Mention for Elden Ring: Those Big Ice People in the Ruins on Mountain of Giants

With the body snatchers in bb you just need to be fast at side stepping and punishing when they do their power up thing

I'm surprised the Winter Lanterns, Bell Maidens in the chalice dungeons, or the "Land Sharks" in fishing hamlet weren't mentioned for the Bloodborne portion of the video

Love your videos. Keep up the good work

In DS1 IMO, along with bonewheels, ofc, the crown is shared by dogs, ghosts from New Londo and torch hollows. Last ones are especially obnoxious when they run to you, thrashing and swinging their torch around, stunlocking you right away.

Some other honorable mentions for the games i played: Dark souls: the giant skeleton dogs were the first most annoying enemy that came into mind, the ''running'' attack with their jaw can most of the time one shot you. Another one in dark souls is the demon with the lightning spear and the small wings, they are somewhat easy to kill but they are super annoying when they start dodging and flying. Dark souls 2: About the reindeers in the worst zone ever made, the trick is too have a big bonk weapon and R2 them, they always stagger and you can just smash them to death. The most annoying is the invader that runs away... not an enemy but good damn it sucks. Maldron the name? Otherwise the one i hate the most is the pretty rare one called undead aberration, for the love of me i cant read that enemy attacks. Honorable mention to the pyromancer in earthen peek, simply because they can be super dangerous while being somewhat very squishy. Dark souls 3: So many tbh. I always had mixed feeling about ds3 for many reasons, this is one of them. Everything mentionned in the video and i would add corvian enemy in ashes of ariandel dlc... If you dont stagger them first they can be very very very annoying. The hand monstrosity, though being in one very spot their grab attacks just deals too much damage. The 2 hand sword cathedral knight, with the proper build they are not that bad but they dont tend to leave enough opening for punishing, you end up trading blows with them mostly. Sekiro: Spot on. I feel like they were meant to be air deathblow but it is not even easy to pull off... Elden ring: People mentionned it, the revenant and the birds. Something about the enemies that keeps getting away is very annoying. Like the dragons sometimes too, they are pretty easy to punish but it is frustating when they get in a loop of flying around. Great video! Keep it up!

The little Plague babies in demon souls for me. They trapped me in that filth so many times

I know you have a relatively small fan base but your channel is amazing, please keep it up

Love the comedy bro lol. Top notch video man.

That outro was just the right amount

I don’t hate crucible knights, but fighting them isn’t really engaging, it’s just wait for them to attack so you can hit them once or twice and repeat for 2 minutes or just repeatedly parry them over and over and that gets mundane. If you asked me on my first playthrough what the worst enemy was I would’ve undoubtedly said revenants, BUT now, I actually kinda like revenants, I’ve gotten so much better at fighting them and I can appreciate them way more now. Imo the worst enemy in ER is the invisible black knife assassin, who ever thought an invisible enemy that just repeatedly spams grabs over and over again was fun should be suspended without pay, it’s one of the few enemies in soulsborne that I would actually classify as truly bullshit

I know this is random, but i noticed that Seluvia's Crucible helm has primordial horns, almost looking like a tree... And Ordovis' Crucible helm has 3 individual scallops on it. One on each side, and 1 in the back. Almost mimicking the 3 fingers, which are the sworn enemy of the erdtree and the Order. It might be nothing, but it is interesting to me that they're both Crucible Knights, and their Helms look like the Erdtree, and the main thing trying to destroy it. Even more so, when i noticed the Knight protecting Rykards' Bae, in the blasphemous volcano manor, has the "3 fingers" looking helm like Ordovis,

Crucible Knights are hard but i don't think that they are that annoying. I think that the birds are worse than them. The dogs and rats are also more annoying if they manage to gang up on you. But the enemies that i do avoid as much as i can are the Rune Bears.

Fun fact: Bonewheel skeletons are in DS2. A couple spawn after the last Skeleton Lord in said boss fight has been killed. They aren't that dangerous since they take forever to fully assemble, which means you can easily kill them before they can attack. I don't know if they are as dangerous as 1's or neutered like 3's since I never had them hit me because of what I said.

Those blood dogs are a nightmare. 2-3 hits and you're running to get your runes back.

Enjoying the vids, this channel will get big

That Riley Reid comparison was WILD 💀

Bonewheel Skeletons also appear in DS2 during the Skeleton Lords boss fight. And speaking of DS2, you can summon NPCs to deal with the Frozen Reindeers while you progress so my vote would go to the Iron Warriors - huge damage and that damn lava spill trends to stun you while you try to dodge letting you open to get a lot of attacks without being able to react - even with high Agility and Poise.

It's definitely possible to heal against the Crucible Knights but you have to be ridiculously careful going about it, cause they read that input as soon as you've pressed it, CK is gonna be chasing you down double speed. What I think is the most annoying about them is simply that they are more or less impossible to flinch, you can stagger them for a riposte but that's very difficult since getting consecutive hits on something that seemingly never runs out of stamina and doesn't flinch when you smack even the heaviest of swords across their faces is pretty difficult to say the least. CK's were one of the reasons I stopped using the Zweihander and other UGS like it during my first playthrough when the game just released. UGS were just too slow to get hits in between dodging an attack and trying to counter it.

i had the same feeling about the crucible knights unitl you REALLY understand, how they work. You can only hit him with 1 (!) normal attack after his combos and thats it. The attacks are pretty avoidable - the most player get hit by them trying to heal at the badest time or try to land more then 1 hits in a row or use special attacks against him, which normally cost to much time.

for crucible knights, to heal you need to bait out one of their slower attacks and do it up in mid distance. its a trap to run far away from them and takes the opportunities to heal away from you.
