![]() You first see one in Undead Parish which will pulverize you if you’re not careful (run away!). Tough and Rough, Armored Boars, although rare, are almost invulnerable to melee damage and pack one hell of a punch. Attack, back away, attack again and they’ll go down soon enough. ![]() Make sure to quickly back away after each strike so their swiping move won’t touch you. Melee characters will have a tougher time with them though. Thankfully, they can’t move from their ‘bursting spot’ so ranged attacks like arrows, Soul Spear and Fireball work well without placing you close enough for them to reach you. Their attacks are very wide and fast, leaving very little time for a single attack. They’re flailing attacks can make them near impossible to hit more than once during each ‘attack interval’, if that, and they spit out acid that can quickly break your gear.īurrying Rockworms can be so tedious and tricky to defeat that it’s recommended to not even fight them at all (except that one near the Bonfire). Burrying Rockwormįerocious and annoying, Burrying Rockworms burst out of the ground, ceilings and walls in Demon Ruins and can be rather tough to take down. Each swing pushes their body forwards so their range, like their power, is deceptively good. Just be ready to block their punches if they get close. However, if you have Pyromancies or Sorceries on hand you may be able to strike them for afar since they move quite slowly. Melee characters will have to stay relatively close to them to whittle down their enormous health, but it is recommended to take a ‘breather’ to recharge your stamina or even heal yourself if a punch breaks through your guard. They attack with incredibly powerful punches that, if blocked, can drain all your stamina in one hit, so be sure to bring a good shield that can absorb a lot of damage. Do not be fooled by their slow movement, highly telegraphed attacks and seemingly harmless design, these monsters can crush you into dust very quickly if you’re not careful. ![]() Mushroom Parentĭurable and deceptive, these Mushroom Parents can take a huge amount of punishment while dishing out even more. After it takes a swing, if you haven’t been thrown back, take a couple quick swipes at it and prepare to block its next attack. Keep your shield up and strafe close to its body. Rolling to dodge an attack isn’t recommended since many of its attacks ‘lock’ onto and follow you through the entire animation. Carefully lure out one at a time, and be sure to keep your distance from pit falls as you can easily be tossed off a ledge and die without even being hit. They move fast and attack frequently, making it hard to even get a hit in.Īs far as the Demon Ruins are concerned, do not fight more than one. Taurus Demonīrutal and violent, a Taurus Demon can be quite tricky to defeat, if only because their attacks launch the player backwards, which is very annoying in the lower section of the Demon Ruins with its barrier-less walkways. Thankfully, the arrows, though powerful, move rather slowly, so you’re able to simply walk out of its trajectory. The same goes for Giant Skeletons wielding Bows and arrows. It’s quite easy to predict their attacks, so lure them to an open area where you can strafe around them without falling, and stay at their back. ![]() Like many enemies in Dark Souls the best tactic is to carefully position yourself behind them and keep attacking their back as they turn and swipe at where you used to be. A very annoying ability given the narrow paths of their dwelling, so fighting them can become very awkward.Ī Giant Skeleton’s attacks are very precise, and can easily be dodged or blocked. Intimidating and forceful, Giant Skeletons are mainly found in the dark and deadly area known as Tomb Of The Giants, where a single step can send you plummeting to your death.Įach Giant Skeleton carries a Murakumo or a Bow and arrow, both of which deal massive amounts of damage when hit, or push the player backwards if blocked. Hopefully this list will be more helpful to those people than the crummy tutorial. With Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition coming out later this month, what better time is there to reminisce about the most frustrating enemies in the dangerous world of Lordran? And while I’m at it, this could be seen as a warning to those preparing to plunge themselves into Dark Souls for the first time. ![]()
