Worst Spiders In Games, Ranked By An Arachnophobe - The Return 

Haha I mean he can feel better, the definition of phobias are irrational fears, you wouldn't have a phobia of murderers because that's sensible, but spiders are harmless 99.9% of the time so we can laugh at her being silly I mean I have misophonia, absolutely hate the sound of slurping and chewing but I know it's not reasonable

@@KaladinVegapunk I mean, you can still feel weird about upsetting someone even if it isn't rational. Friends generally don't like seeing each other in distress whether or not there's any real danger.

@@KaladinVegapunk I wouldn't call having a fear of spiders irrational. Evolution could've designed spiders in any it wanted, and it went with a creepy crawling monstrosity with 8 legs and between 6-8 eyes for the shits and giggles. I acknowledge if it weren't for spiders, Earth would be drowning in unwanted pests, they have a valid role in the ecosystem. An important one as natural pest control. When you go to spiders as big as a Wolf Spider or Goliath Bird-Eating Spider, you have to ask nature why would it do that. Let's not forget some spiders that are poisonous. Yes, most are harmless, but you can question evolution's motives. I don't have arachnophobia, but they do give me the creeps. As long as they stay outside, I don't have problems.

​@@rangerslayer2260there is rational and irrational fear, aracnophobes would lose it if you showed the smol garden spider that crawls like an ant.

I'm also an arachnaphobr, but have accepted I will see spiders in real life and games. I absolutely humiliated myself in a full cafeteria during science fair because a small spider had landed on my shirt.

Hey gang, I've got some cookies for us! Oh and a couple of blankets

Except that one right behind you. 😮 😂

🕷

I just started the video and looked straight at the comments to avoid seeing the screen. Glad to find I'm not alone.

Just the audio it is, happy to join the safe space 😅

I was hoping they would have that one on here. I don't have arachnophobia, but they still make me physically jump when I'm not expecting them.

the glitching cat png's are just so much worse than the actual enemies, and I say that as someone who hates the spider-adjacent monstrosities.

@@ElLoboUK Wait, really? I usually turn it on because it makes them easier to spot in dark or foliage heavy environments, my only complaint is that the hitboxes don't line up perfectly

i was hoping someone would mention satisfactory, i never got affected by spiders in video games before but the ones in this game were scary to me (something about the animation and speed i think) the arachnophobia mode makes it very funny lol hello cat pngs

The huge ones which follows you so... so... so freaking long. You running away spamming the living shite out of the slide+jump while hearing the awful SCITTERING behind your back. I love insects but those moments has me squeeling like a beeeech lmao 😂😂 + Also i always nope the F away from the caves.

They've gotta have her react to the newest spider boss, the intro for it's fight spooked me so much as a non-arachnophobe

infected wolf spiders made it even more painful

@@PuffDaFluff the infected Broodmother?

That's awesome, I love spiders, and I caught a beautiful Wolf Spider earlier this year...he is gorgeous and probably the biggest one of his breed that I've ever seen...nearly the size of my palm...thats including leg size

Bloodborne is worse, that abomination moves so fast... yuck.

agreed. It's amazing.

that one really got me, James too by the sound of it

My dad has aphantasia so he literally can't imagine images/textures/tastes in his head, one of his favourite things is to mention "wet wool in your mouth" and watch people grimace but he's utterly unaffected I'm absolutely not telling him about _spiders_ in your mouth 😅😅

Fun fact: your tongue knows what an object feels like.

@@Imperial_Squid hahaha your dad is awesome 😂 Also I'd never heard of that affliction before. Kinda fascinating

Anyone who doesn't think they make noise has never lived in Australia or the southern US. You can hear the bigger huntsman skittering across your walls at night.

AFAIK, spiders don't have contracting lungs like mammals. Spiders with book lungs ventilate them passively. Some spiders can widen the opening for more air intake but they're not inhaling and exhaling, and so they can't hiss with air. What some of them do is stridulation, rubbing legs together at high speed to create vibrations in an audible frequency. It's basically cricket noise, except done by a spider.

An example of this is the Goliath Bird Eating Tarantula. But the hissing is made by rubbing it's front paws together and not air like us humans. But I agree with the huffing and puffing as it would possibly be loud if the spider was human sized.

That would be Disgusting 🕸🕷

I almost fainted reading this👍🏼

Also the mandibles are called "chelicerae" this is where they keep their fangs.

Not ethical, but epical 👍

What do you mean? We would of had Fear Academy yesterday if Ellen was back home and settled 😅

Happy Halloween

I would enjoy that!

One small problem - the video would be about 3 hours long.

@@dominichoughton8119 that's not a problem...that's a plus!!!

The "Stray" kitten would be on that list.

But then they'd show her spiders at the video's end to bring her down from the cuteness high.

Rom, The Vacuous Spider's fight as well, is very distressing for arachnophobics

Rom is manageable because they have weird rocks for heads. The area before Mergo's Wet Nurse sucks ass tho@@leoleo1035

Rom isn't so bad, but I agree about the Challice Dungeons those Nightmare Apostles are fast and nasty. At least with the Mergo Tower area you know they're there but a jumpscare from a Challice Dungeon will make you crap yourself. Just no.

​@@leoleo1035Rom's fight wasn't bad at all for me. Rom herself isn't even a Spider (she's a fluffy potato with like 30 legs) and her minions barely resemble Spiders too. The way they move doesn't bother me at all.

If something's not Tolkien's fault, it's Robert E. Howard's fault.

I loved the line "a post-Shelob world"

too funny and I could see that. OK Outside Xtra we need to see that video of Jane holding Amalur for Ransom

That's not really Jane's style. She doesn't use fear to keep the others in line. She uses smarts to trick them into doing a thing.

@@tyrannicpuppy so why not have given the idea to luke who had one of the others do it

@@quincyking010 that's definitely plausible. I just meant she wouldn't threaten to blend Amalur. She wouldn't need to with her sneaky mind games...

Nerscy isn't even an "old" monster. She's a CLASSIC monster(and a massive pain in my ass as a hammer user). Also, she's only been around for 2 generations. She's NOT old. If you want examples of old monsters, I can give you 3. Hypnockatrice is old. Queen Vespoid is old. King Shakalaka is old. Nerscylla is NOT old.

There's another spider monster that could also be suggested from the MH franchise, it's a new one introduced in gen 5, Rakna Kadaki from Rise Sunbreak.

Not mentioning the fact that SHE SKINS GYPCEROS AND WEARS THEIR SKIN

Have you played Rise by any chance? I have mild arachnophobia aswell and for some reason Rakna Kadaki doesn't trigger it at all. Personally I think it's the movment all the dashes and drags they do.

Nerscylla was one of the first spiders i managed to get over in video games because once i knew all the moves i was able to handle it alot easier. it helped alot with getting my arachnaphobia under control. I still have it bad but it doesnt stop me from playubg games. though i did have to put down hogwartslegacy a couple times

And adorable 😊

Ellen must be protected 🎉😂😂😂

As is often said, courage isn't the absence of fear. It's feeling fear but not letting it stop you. Ellen certainly meets that definition.

The bravest!

Agreed, but it also seems she's having fun at the same time (between the spiders, at least).

That's horrifying, thanks! 😂

don't they make a chirping kind of sound when it's made audible through editting?

You mean like the Arachnophobia film that starred Scar Jo that had a giant spider hissing, I still remember that spider vs cat fight in the walls that left indentations of the giant spider and the poor kitty

​@PrinceYamiUchihaCosplay 8 legged freaks and particularly THAT scene is a core memory

@@sethmeyers4109 was it, dammit I got them mixed up, why did I think Arachnophobia was the film that had that then I just realised that guess it was 8 Legged Freaks that had Scar Jo and the cat vs giant spider Wall fight scene, you gotta admit that fight scene in the wall was pretty hilarious, I laughed a lot even though the film was just scary because of all those huge spiders

That thing is just disgusting.

That thing has never helped me

@@harlgg Dave‘s Little Beasties is full of arachnophobes, come join us. He has mostly tarantulas, but also some true spiders, frogs, and centipedes. Super chill dude, highly recommended.

I really can’t stand spiders, not phobic but I can’t sleep if I know one is in the house somewhere… except for jumping spiders. I’m fine with those. Even if they jump onto me. They look too adorable to be scary.

​@@ArDeeMeenever heard of that. I did come across something similar by the sounds of it in the oast though. RU-vid channel called Exotic's Lair pretty sure it was called. Had some vids of feeding/watering his collection of spiders/snakes and scorpions. I don't really see how it would be anything but confrontational for someone with an actual arachnophobia though?

As someone who tried to cure her arachnophobia when she was younger by watching nature shows about them (spoilers, it didn't work lol), I seriously appreciate your realisation haha...! - E

People with Arachnophobia will agree that spiders are absolutely terrifying and should just burn or better still Australians will agree that spiders should just die, I mean have you seen how huge they get down there, I won't be going there anytime soon. I can't even look at a nature book or photos on the Internet of spiders without either yeeting the book across the room or getting extremely sick to my stomach looking at images of spiders on the Internet, I'm surprised how many colours a spider can get as I've seen a cobalt blue tarantula on Google images and even though I love the colour, the spider is still creepy

Same, I’m literally an entomologist, and I’ve had pet spiders that I’ve loved very much. I genuinely admire Ellen’s bravery so so much and will offer up other Meaningless Animal Facts that my head are chock full of instead lol

She thought the black spiders in Bloodborne were a boss fight, for example. It reads to me that simply knowing they exist is the only information she needs and anything beyond is unnecessary exposure.

I mean.. yeah, if it invokes that level of fear in reality when the cause itself is fake/digital then I'm all in favour of noping the hell out ahead of time, don't willingly put yourself in that position if it's not the fun kind of being scared. :D I also genuinely appreciate the warning in Grounded as we have friends who are also hugely scared of spiders and simply knowing they were there was enough until we found the "angry floating blob" option. :)

He is one lucky man! Got to play a Jedi, has met Mark Hamill and is crushed on by Ellen Rose! But yes, agreed it was very wholesome

That spider feels particularly egregious because there's literally no reason to have giant spiders in a Star Wars game. Make up your own space monster, devs!

@@oranski3299 Haha just one of those nice little "ahhhh a true nerd like us" moments.

@@michaelpirrone Haha in fairness this is a sci-fantasy universe where every sapient race looks remarkably human :-P (and seriously SW... *sapient*... the word you want is *sapient*, not *sentient*... like literally every form of animal life is sentient... lol)

Deepnest as a whole is scarier than Nosk imo. The overlayed effect of spiders crossing the screen in deepnest, the skittering sound effects and the claustrophobic design made me so uncomfortable when I was first exploring without a map 😢

The bench trap is way worse because you can't move after you get tricked by the spiders in disguise.

I think the lead-up to that fight is scarier than the fight itself tbh. The notion of following a mysterious doppelganger down some narrow corridors filled with the dessicated corpses of various bugs, knowing that whatever lies ahead can't be anything good, the anticipation is much worse than the reveal. It might be the scariest part of the game for me, either that or the room with the corpse creepers when you try and save Zote.

Same. Fully dropped the controller and ran out the room screaming when it did that. My housemate at the time thought the house was on fire 😂

Believe me, it's even worse when you enter that cave and the spider's descending animation cancels and just falls wide open straight onto your face.

😳

...and thats what the "fun" facts about spiders are like huh?

Well that's a strange use of the word "fun" that I was previously unaware of.

Can we turn down nature's difficulty level at all?

Came to say the same thing! 😆

i hope you two didn’t have to go through a “it takes two” situation of your own

For me, it's mainly the movement that gets me in video games. Ellen's worst one was mine too, primarily the movement was just too accurate. That's why it's nowhere near as bad without the legs. All of us recognise that pattern of leg movement and it's a massive trigger. That's why most of us don't care about other insects, they just don't move the same, other insects are pussies.

Me and a buddy played through It Takes Two and Grounded together, and luckily he isn't the worst arachnaphobe but to this day the scream he let out and then locked himself in our base for two nights after our first wolf spider encounter is trapped in my head, I'm proud of him for toughing it out to play with me and honestly, by the end he was fighting them more than I was lol

Oh I didn't know that was in the game. I broke up with my gf before we got that far. Guess that's a good thing, she would have hated that

Nevermind the spiders, me and my GF are still traumatized to this day by the whole Cutie situation. That was one of the hardest things I've ever been through in a videogame, and I've been a gamer for 30+ years.

Giant spoder from the first Resident Evil cries silently in the corner.

Perfect Valentines fodder.

@@Alsebra or just five lady D, it's possible to have more than one crush

@@Alsebra Nah. At least one of the entries will be the car from OutRun.

Yeah the Dukes Dear Freja area is so unpleasant. All the town inhabitants fell victim to Freja and her offspring. Yuck.

Mate I don’t have Arachnophobia but that area freaked me the hell out and has, ever since had me warning anyone I know with arachnophobia trying DS2 for the first time about Brightstone Cove Tseldora

Burning hands really came in handy there.

@@DonLoco3 ...........the only GOOD phase spider is a dead one. fireball, maximized, empowered and heightened if possible. at danger close if need be

@@DonLoco3that and darkness. Forcing them to fight on my terms saved my bacon.

Until you cast Speak with Animals and have a lovely chat with the giant spiders in the Goblin Camp. They even talk like spiders.

If you actually want to know BG3 from an arachnophobe's perspective, I stopped all quests... to become a pest exterminator. I went to the harper's outpost and set fire to the spider nest up there in the crag-completely unnecessary! You can get the treasure from there and never fight a spider! I burned the spider eggs, they hatched and became pet spiders/allies that were going to fight the spiders from the nest I burnt. I killed them before they even had a chance to help me. I was a pest exterminator with extreme prejudice. I was more concerned by the infested monsters covered in baby spiders than the phase spiders themselves, but I used Astarion's burning hands before they even came close so it wasn't a problem. I stealthed through the cave little by little, luring phase spiders a couple at a time until by the point I reached the matriarch I had silently destroyed half of her egg clutch (all the right-side ones of course) and initiated the fight in turn based mode by one-shot-killing a phase spider below. So the boss fight was my level 3 party, one matriarch, only half the babies, and one other phase spider. Even when she laid more instantly hatching eggs, it was too late at that point and her fate was pretty much sealed. I went through the whispering depths afterward to ensure total genocide by destroying all the egg sacs, even though they don't do anything and they're basically just stylized lanterns. I saw evidence of spiders in the underdark (of course, lolth) but no actual spiders, yet I still dedicated time to burning every last egg. Just in case. So your answer is pest control. An arachnophobe's response to phase spiders is that actually they're fine because they're bright blue and teleport around. The times I was jumpscared in that cave were when I thought I had cleared it out and suddenly skittering blue legs of the matriarch appeared in the upper right corner of my screen. Walking is scarier than teleporting every time.

I hate having a spider touch my skin as the feeling is awful, heck I don't like feeling them on my head, had a spider crawl on my hand twice and about 3 or so years ago I had a spider somehow appear on my head, I felt something weird so ran my hand on my head to then see a spider on my hand, flicked my hand to the right and it landed down the side of my bed until I got the vacuum and sucked it into it's grave. But something I still remember to this day was when still living with family, I was in my bedroom which was next to the living room which my bedroom before it became one was a smoking room, so a few years ago I was sitting in my bedroom watching Freak Show which was the 4th season of AHS until I saw something at the corner of my left eye move down, so I got up off my bed to turn on the light and what do I happen to see covering a majority of my bedroom curtain which my bed was directly under it but a huge spider which you could fit in two hands close together, maybe more, so I left the room to only come back and found it vanished like a Ninja, turned out it decided to go under my bed covers and I was like "I'm not going to sleep in that bed as I didn't wanna wake up to it on me"

I do love insects (especially spiders) but yeah sensory issues come first, I love insects so long as they’re not on me unless I let them on me

​@@eris9062I'm the same way. I _adore_ spiders, but I don't want them on my person. At all. Not even voluntarily. The little gentle, sweeping, tapping, caressing feelings as they move across my skin just causes the most unpleasant sensation imaginable to me. I don't really understand why. I find it sad, actually, especially when I find a jumping spider that I want to pick up and make friends with!

My phobia isn't as bad as some peoples (like Ellen), when I see them I sort of get anxious and not want to look. But if a spider gets on me I will scream and shut down. I will not move until it is gone except to try and throw it away from me

EDF spiders, aka "thank god for nukes"

Agreed, Ellen finds the Skulltullas cute. But when I was 6, area at the bottom of the well was truly terrifying. Spider jumpscares and a room full of torture devices. Yay 😮‍💨

yea, that's the "irrational" part of the phobia, it doesn't matter how brave you are or how much you know that it can't get you it is still "Fight, Fright or Flight" only. I know she knows it will be temporary and very entertaining but still very brave Ellen for this, once let alone three times. We Want More, We Want Four!! though she can have a year to relax we can wait 😄

Thats horrifying actually.

Oh... This. I don't like this...

The spider section in 2033 remake took me longer than the entirety of Frontline, in Exodus the Satellite bunker was worse for me than the fucking Library

Yea, my gf, (who's a massive fan of the franchise), played the game on day one and had so much trouble getting through certain parts of it because of the spiders. She's still a little bothered by them with arachnophobia mode on, but nowhere near as much.

YES! My own first encounter with an Acromantula was the Absconder quest and I died instantly because it rushed at me at great speed and I screamed and covered my eyes 🥲

It’s the screaming and super speed when you set them on fire that gives me the willies.

Still remember trying to play the Forbidden Forest part of the second Harry Potter game as a child, in the end I had to get my sister's boyfriend to finish that part for me(only "arachnophobia mode" available). Still to this day I don't like spiders in games, or any other media for that matter, but it's not stopping me from playing/watching stuff as it once did. So I can play Hogwarts Legacy without any major problem now, but my younger self would have had big problems with certain areas for sure.

The country but just to add to the discussion, one of the descriptions I have seen is a hardwire from a subject to the fight or flight response of the brain that shortcuts everything else.😊

I describe it as the difference between the feeling you get in a haunted maze attraction, running from the chainsaw man vs. actually finding a man with a machete or chainsaw in your actual house. Both are scary, but only one makes you feel like you are actually gonna die and that's the difference between people who find spiders scary or unpleasant vs arachnophobes like me. Spiders (and things that look too much like apiders) make me feel like I'm gonna die.

Yup which is how I figured out my fear of snakes is actually a phobia. 😅 rationally, I know I have no need to be THAT afraid of snakes, I understand they have a place in this world and a role to play, but I am absolutely TERRIFIED none the less. 😅

​@@ChronicElliIt's weird as I'm not scared of pictures or videos of spiders (even though they are still creepy) but if there was a spider in my bed I'd jump up, scream like a little girl, grab my shoe and start slapping it around. This all came after I got bit by a Brown Recluse.

@@Gatorade69 ooo incident induced 😓 sorry about that pal. 😭

We can all do with aftercare kittens

Arachnids and insects as a whole are just unsettling. Their shape and their behavior is completely contrary to everything else on this earth. 4 limbs and 2 eyes is the standard for every other species on this planet, including most fish, with 2 flippers and a tail with 2 fins. Even those freaky deep sea fish still hold to that number. Bugs violate all of those rules. 6 legs at minimum, some having odd numbers of legs, multiple eyes, everything is just wrong. Not to mention that they act weird. Every other animal on earth stays away from humans unless we specifically train it to like us, because we're a threat. Bugs, on the other hand, will happily go anywhere, even into your fucking mouth, for no reason whatsoever. They have no survival instinct

@@filmandfirearms thank god I don't sleep with my mouth open

Omg

Sorry to hear that happened to you @psychlycan, I would hope that I don't get bitten by any kind of spider because I've seen unpleasant images of certain types of spider bites and I rather avoid and deep gaping wounds on my body from a spider bite

was looking through the comments for a mention of rain world - THIS, they're all pretty bad but coalescipedes are just *shudders*

I have no idea what a phobia of drains is called, but I have that. I'm fine with showers, but anything that holds water and has a drain is a big nope. Swimming pools set it off big time; even the filter flap things along the sides of a pool set it off. The drain, grate thing that's always in the deep end is a major nope. It's why I love the ocean and like lakes all right, but I hate swimming pools. Bathtubs honestly set it off a bit and I'm glad I take showers instead. Sinks are okay because I'm not actually immersed in the water. So yeah, I get it with phobias being difficult to explain to people. Especially ones like ours.

Hey just wondering, does the ladder have to be in use to set off your phobia or is it just the sight of one that does it? Follow up question if it's the second scenario, if the ladder is laying flat on the ground or strapped sideways on a work truck will it trigger the phobia or does the ladder need to be standing up straight and leaning against something like it's about to be used?

@@DesidiosumCorporosumHominis Heya! There's kinda levels to it. If I see one that's in storage or something along those lines, I start to develop this weird scene of dread/paranoia. I'll be on edge about it but ultimately I'll be ok. If it's set up, either free standing ones or leaning ones, that same dread comes as well as becoming physically stressed. The closer I get, the worse it gets. I'll start shaking and sweating. If it's in use, I often need to leave entirely because I start to panic and feel nauseous in addition to all the other stuff. The one time I ever used a ladder, I had a full blown panic attack that lasted about 20 minutes. So to actually answer your question, yes. Just the sight of one can set me off.

I have a phobia of an on oven (especially if nothing is being cooked/baked) and people always try to explain it away and I have to say “It’s called irrational for a reason!”

@@SolaScientia I just looked it up. Phobia of drains is called "viemaphobia". I didn't know that either.

Also in Satisfactory, it replaces the spiders with pictures of cats

@@VernulaUtUmbra I hated that mode in Satisfactory, unless they changed it but when i first tried it they were all glitchy and moved way too fast and made me super uncomfortable

activate bean mode

I don't have a fear of bees, wasps and flies but I don't like the buzzing and due to having ADHD and having a noise sensitivity especially to loud noises, I flinch to the sound of them buzzing, though a few months ago I went to a picnic meet and I ended up getting tormented by a wasp and I couldn't eat without it coming to me which my adrenaline went crazy until friends said to try stay calm because my adrenaline was giving off a scent for that wasp so maybe I have a little fear of buzzing insects but I wouldn't call it a phobia, I just hate the buzzing sound when near my ear

Ohhh yeah. I had a wasp nest dropped on me as a kid (it was an accident I’m pretty sure) so the sound just drives me insane, even after like a decade

It's like the Kalashnikov gun breaking videos. When they started, he was just wearing a standard issue 6B43 ballistic vest. Now, he makes Tachanka look naked by comparison

I was searching for this, those f'ers need to get lost, can't wait for update 8 to go public so I can get rid of them 🤣

I was curious about the arachnophobia mode and I feel like it's worse for some reason, I don't have arachnophobia but those scuttling kittens freak me out way more than the originals do

@@Obvious72 They’re just spiders in disguise. 😭

@@Obvious72 Even in passive mode when I last played, horrible... Due to association even just hearing the meowing freaks me out still. Glad that whenever I get time to play again update 8 will allow to get rid of them completly

that wouldn't be aftercare then, would it? And since they have a working relationship, its probably for the best that he isn't a jerk...

Yeah, I would've been so tempted to do that...

Damn your standards are low. He would have been evil if he did. Common decency should be regarded as the norm, not something pure.

and you just articulated not only why I should never be in a relationship with an arachnophobe, but in general why it's kinda just best I stay home and play tug of war with my dog.

Should've included Spiders-Man, but I don't think they've ever appeared in a video game

Thank every god ever worshipped for the DA companion AI! Every time I was in a spider cave in DA:I, I was just like, “Okay, Bull! You got this! You go trigger their aggro, I’ll be… over here…”)

I keep recommending Dave‘s Little Beasties to other arachnophobes. He’s such a chill guy, perfect for learning about spiders and tarantulas. Never handles them, always keeps a respectful distance. Unless he’s pulling an egg sac, but that’s more of a special occasion. ^^

I really like spiders and I love snakes, but I hurried my way through the Forbidden Woods and the Nightmare of Mensis anyway. I'd have been slightly better with both areas if they just hadn't put so many of the damn things in the areas and made them super strong. I end up looking up item locations and just running around the Forbidden Woods only fighting when I had no other choice. For that room in the Nightmare of Mensis I took the roundabout way to drop down, grabbed the items and got the hell out of there. At least the Nightmare Apostle can't fit through the doors.

I didn't cry myself, but I absolutely couldn't look at the screen for as long as she did on any of these except for nosk. We did our best in solidarity. I'd say we both deserve hugs, but I personally won't be able to stand being touched for the 12-24hrs so...❤

As someone who doesn't have arachnophobia, and loves bugs (with the term "bugs" being used loosely here), I think someone NEEDS to put giant bolas spiders in a game.

@@Umlee-Kerymansrivarrwael giant Bolas spiders?

Don’t stress Prince Yami, they live quite high on the big shield volcanos, and are so tiny most people don’t even notice them.

@barbararowley6077 that doesn't ease the feeling of me wanting to visit Hawaii because I might start feeling like something is crawling on me

I thought it was the only time, but I wasn't completely sure. I'm not too surprised that it was the Nightmare Apostle that caused that reaction. I actually really like spiders, but even I had an "eff this noise" response. Not as scary as the Upper Cathedral Ward for me, but still a whole big room of nope. The weird spider-ish things in Dark Souls 3 freaked me out worse, but I think there are only 2 or 3 in the entire game.

I know Ellen's mentioned that she also can't really play Skyrim because of the spiders. At least, nothing beyond what they do with Kippers and the challenges and such.

Eh, I doubt it’d get a big reaction. It never really felt like a spider since it had a face, human hands, and a flower bulb instead of a back segment. Something like Last Year: After Dark or Freja from Dark Souls would probably be worse

@@Urahara451 I don't think the spider ladies from Dark Souls were much of a problem for Ellen. I know she summoned for the boss fight, but I don't think she was particularly freaked out about it. I wonder how the Armored Spider (I think that's the right name) from Demon's Souls would be though (both the original and the remake to compare the 2).
