7 Idiot Enemies Who Will Kill Your Enemies for You

[@daviddaugherty2816]

Fun fact: in the Oblivion quest "The Ultimate Heist", the regular guards in the lower floors that try to arrest you and the fancy guards on the upper floors that try to kill you are listed in game as being part of different factions. Since these factions are hostile to each other, if you lead one group into another, these guards tasked with protecting the Imperial Palace will kill each other while the intruder gets off scott-free. Cyrodil's finest, ladies and gentlemen.

[@Debatra.]

Hell, Oblivion NPCs who *are* part of the same faction will fight each other to the death in retalliation for crossfire.

​@@Debatra., this stuff still happens in Skyrim. You can have quested with a character for many hours and, upon accidentally whacking them once in a pitched battle (usually when they rush into combat...right in front of you (kind of an offshoot of the shoving they tend to do)), they'll immediately flip allegiance and join up with the enemies trying to batter you senseless.

[@dragonwriterluc]

@@heartofthewild680 Additionally, if Ganon's servants are right next to Zonai constructs, the two camps will attack each other if only you approach and/or tear down the barriers that the bokoblins put up.

[@TJForceIX]

In WoW, Priests have an ability called Mind Control that does what it says on the tin, but even better than that was an ability that Outlaw Rogues had during Legion called Bribe. You would give an NPC a fake coin to work for you and start killing other mobs, until they realize the coin is fake after 30 seconds and turn on you. One of the most hilarious explanations for taking control of an enemy I've seen in a video game.

Best thing to do is, if you want a orc with a good trait so badly, you can sit and watch him facing another captain and see the result (him gaining from one to three levels), repeat if you want him to be more leveled up before you can recruit him or straight up ruin the after-battle party for the guy and recruit him on the spot

[@tomsyalad9556]

In Don't Starve, getting enemies to kill each other is a semi-regular thing to do, and you can even do it to several bosses! One strategy is to lure the Bearger to a forest to let it smash down trees for you to collect later, with enraged Treeguards later showing up to kill it for all the trees its destroyed. Its a win-win-win!

[@coltonmarkusson2397]

In borderlands 2 and 3 there are goliaths in bandit camps. When you shoot the helmet off of these guys they become enraged and start attacking whoever’s closest to them, friend or foe. The real benefit of this is that after the Goliath kills an enemy it will heal and transform again and again allowing them to kill more enemies and dropping better loot when they get killed.

[@alyssavanderklift9296]

ah the glorious end result being the godliath. great loot dispensers, if you get unlucky also a total pain when there's nothing left for them to kill but you. had that happen when i accidentaly knocked one's helmet off with some grenade and by the end of his rampage was pretty much entirely out of ammo... fun times, until it wasn't at least i could respawn, restock and massacre him then

[@RealCaptainAwesome]

Just said the same thing!

[@vengefulbird6918]

I was about to mention the same thing

[@Dutch_is_a_Weird_Language]

The Borderlands 2 Goliaths' rage quotes also never get old. "GET READY TO FEEL MY FINGERS IN YOUR EYEBALLS!"

[@ClawMacKain]

I was about to mention this as well. The times I went to the valley of the Fire Hawk cultists, snipe off a Goliath's helmet, then make some distance and watch the bodies fly. Playing Zer0 made it so much easier to avoid getting killed myself since he has his cloaking ability. And if you had his explosive decoy and status kunai perks, you can trick a Godliath into attacking your decoy, pelt him with kunai, and since some of the kunai apply slag status once the decoy explodes, the Godliath trying to attack the decoy will take a huge amount of shock damage and pretty much instantly die with very minimal work having to be done yourself.

[@nycstreetpoet]

I like it when a dragon in Skyrim starts picking a fight with giants, other humans, wolves, draugr deathlords, etc. You can also free wolves and/or saber cats in certain dungeons, who will go to town on their bandit captors.

[@woofspider330]

Hile I was walking around at night, I saw the shadow of the dragon in the sky. While I was watching it, I heard a bear growling. Whip around, and it's right next to me, and if the dragon hadnt A) caused me to stop, and B) caused the bear to growl, I would have walked right into him and likely pooped my pants when that rock turns out to be a bear 😅

[@Alsebra]

​@@woofspider330, I recently had a battle somewhat like this. I had just landed at the Western Watchtower and had a dragon land right in front of me (quickly dispatched by a dual attack), only to wander off towards my quest target (Bleakwind Basin)...and have a Blood Dragon drop down behind me. I turn, start engaging the second dragon...and a sabre cat launches itself into my face. Just after the dragon launched itself skyward again, the cat jumped at me and fell hard; the dragon then landed near the Basin (with its giants and mammoths) and a stream...with a pair of mudcrabs. I squished one, the dragon made short work of the other, and we then faced off again...only for me to need to retreat to heal. As I'm cowering behind a rock and trying to heal, the dragon turned and went off after the giants, only to be pulped by the pair. I approached, looted everything I found (somehow, I managed to find both crabs and the cat), then went to unlock the chest in the camp...only to have the giants and mammoths take offense to it and come after me. I just ran at that point...I could've handled them with little trouble (the Ring of the Wind really helps at times), but I didn't want to spend another several minutes picking away at two giants and three mammoths.

[@fakjbf3129]

Similar to this is AC3 where you can grab an enemy soldier and use them as a human shield against musket fire. Despite having plenty of time to choose to spare their comrade, the soldiers will instead sacrifice them to try and hit you through them. I can only imagine this is because you always happen to grab the one who snores loudly at night.

If the enemy currently attacking you hasn't been struck by you when shot it will also turn on the skeleton and try to murder it first...giving you the option to choose which one you will assist before taking your temporary ally out as soon as your mutual foe falls. Usually I choose to kill the skeletons first because I hate being shot at. Best part of it all? By the time the annoying archer is down the other enemy is usually weak enough from soaking hits I can take IT out with a single swing. It's not cowardice when it gives you the tactical advantage!

Most of the enemy mooks in the open world areas of Dragon Age: Inquisition will fight each other. You might see rebel Templars fighting apostates, bears attacking bandits, demons attacking Freemen (a group of deserters) or undead fighting Avvar barbarians, depending on where you are. There’s also one notable encounter on the Storm Coast where you see a giant fighting a dragon.

[@mathewwilkins1613]

Most of those are scripted though. The Templar/mage fights are set dressing, the dragon/giant fight is a one off set piece for world building and the Avvar fighting the demons is an agent recruitment opportunity. You do get NPCs fighting but you usually have to bring them together and even then they concentrate on your party more than eachother.

[@healsallwounds]

@@mathewwilkins1613No, most of them are not scripted. In fact, there are only a couple examples of scripted fights taking place between your enemies - the dragon vs. the giant on the Storm Coast and a couple of Avvar vs. the undead fights in the Fallow Mire. Most instances of NPC on NPC combat occurs organically.

You also get versions of the berserker darts in every game going forward (well other than the rpg ones from what I've managed to find) and brotherhood, iirc (they are just called poison darts in revelations and brotherhood) I believe the lore that connects all these is they are made from datura (which datura bombs in revelations do the same as regular poison darts which are identical to berserk darts)

[@raulportela3039]

The Berserk darts are amazing but what makes them truly OP is that they work on anyone, including your primary targets. So you can get to the max range, shoot them and they'll be dead by the time you get back to your ship.

If fact, this actually becomes really useful in Bioshock 2, during the parts where you have to take on a Big Sister. If you can trick the Big Sister into attacking the Big Daddy, it'll actually cause the two of them to fight each other.

Goliaths from Borderlands 2 would make a good addition to this. Knock off their helmet, and they become so enraged that they attack their own peers.

[@Nikchand1]

Moblins throwing their homies will never not be funny to me.

[@MuayHannya]

I’ve been watching this channel since I was a kid, I’m glad you guys still post great videos

[@shawngillogly6873]

Tartuccio in Pathfinder Kingmaker. His 1st spell is fireball. Which will incinerate everything in a 30' radius. Including, if your PC charges him....himself. Along with almost all his minions. Also, Midnight Sun. Where the Dark Hunter and Scarlet Witch both have cards that will cause enemies to attack other enemies. This can be cast on bosses to cause them to kill their minions on your behalf.

[@Amaritudine]

One minute it's atonalism and the works of Hieronymus Bosch; next minute it's describing tigers as "stripey murder Garfields". This kind of writing is a big part of why I appreciate this channel so very much.

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

A couple of examples that I can think of where you can trick enemies into killing each other is Doom and it's sequel Doom 2 hell on earth. The demons and the possessed will upon taking damage from one another will cease trying to kill you in favor of killing their fellow monsters. There's also Alien Isolation, tossing a noisemaker near a group of human enemies will get the attention of the xenomorph who will kill them for you. Be careful when doing this however as the xenomorph will now be hunting for you.

[@flaetsbnort]

Doom is my favourite because this demonic invasion force is like 'wtf man you shot me! I'll show ya'

[@michaelandreipalon359]

decino has some videos that explore the Doom infighting in more nuance, too. And I'm betting the likes of IGN didn't know that, hehe.

[@TheMetalchild333]

The berserk darts made an appearance before Black Flag, in the Ezio trilogy the Poison blade did the exact same thing and could later be upgraded by visiting Leonardo Da Vinci to shoot darts

[@flaetsbnort]

Doom may not have been the first game to have enemy infighting, but it has a powerful claim... There's also NetHack, where wearing a ring of conflict (that makes everyone attack each other) is considered a great strategy. Just make sure your pet isn't nearby, because it'll attack you and it's usually quite stronger!

[@gravajaumbros]

While Berserk Darts may have made their debut in Assassin's Creed IV, Berserk Poison was a thing back in AC2, and it was glorious fun!

[@sergentboucherie]

In Elden Ring I wanted to see if Varré could help me killing the Tree Sentinel, well I learned that Varré was a pacifist and he got killed by the Tree Sentinel without doing anything. I then decided to hire a Troll to fight the Tree Sentinel, at least the Troll fought back

[@TheOmegaDragon]

You can give the Dung Eater the Potion that was meant for Nepheli Loux which will brainwash him then you can purchase him from Seluvis as a summonable puppet.

[@KDKalvinDrake]

The Hieronymus Bosch shout is a pleasant reminder why I'm subscribed.

[@MotherOfAllOmletes]

I'm actually a bit surprised the Possession vigor from Bioshock Infinite wasn't on here. It quite literally makes enemies fight each other and if you upgrade it, they'll fight each other then kill themselves when it's run out

[@elafimilo8199]

Hardcore

[@NeckGang]

Payday 2 when you force a police officer into helping you rob a bank. lol

[@Doogie2K3]

How could you have forgotten the original Doom and Doom II? The enemies could often be tricked into fighting each other, which is especially useful when you need a Cyberdemon whittled down.

[@kieranhair37]

There are a lot of classic games that could be on here. Pretty sure there are Wolfenstein games where the enemies attack each other too. Thief as well. There's a particularly interesting one (it might be one of the Thief Gold levels) where a group of guards is talking outside, and they go inside right before another group patrols by. But if you frequently pause and unpause the game, it makes the guards restart their dialogue, so they'll still be outside when the second group patrols. Do that, and the two groups will fight each other. It puts the survivors on alert, and you start nearby enough that they'll probably find you, but it's still fun to see at least once.

[@austinschroeter5978]

If I recall Watch Dogs 2 had a feature where you could call the cops on someone to arrest them and if they resist they start shooting at your target, or you can put a hit on someone and have a gang shoot at them, I did both a lot when I was in heavily guarded areas! One of the funniest things I saw!

[@AngelBeatYunara]

The shaman bone blades in Bloodborne can come in handy for this, for sure. Especially the big whale lads in the well in the DLC.

[@SolaScientia]

I said the same, lol. That was my method. I wasted one on the first attempt because I wasn't close enough and just swung at the air. The second one connected and it was a breeze. I was relieved to see that the 2nd shark that dropped from the ceiling has notably less health than the first one, so he was easier for me to kill after he took care of the first one for me. That fight was honestly a lot easier for me than I expected when going into it.

[@insaincaldo]

Hell it's almost required for those two. They are quite a bad time.

[@foxfireinferno197]

Another fun one. In the original Doom, way back when, if you could get two demons of different species to accidentally hit each other, they'd keep attacking one another. If you came across a room full of mixed demons, just firing a rocket or something in there to stir them up, letting friendly fire happen, then bailing out was a good strategy.

[@Cynadite]

what about the titan enemies from the arkham games? they would take out like 8 enemies in for no reason.

[@Z3WHA6]

One of the earliest examples I can think of is Perfect Dark. In one level, Joanna acquires the psychosis gun, which we dubbed "the obedient servant gun." It was a unique mechanic at the time and an absolute delight in an era where infuriating escort missions were all the rage.

[@gakulon]

While not really killing, I was hoping to see some Yakuza 0 on this list, where Majima can use a heat action in his Breaker style to dodge one guy's attack so it hits another. Endless entertainment

[@derrinerrow4369]

Oh yeah I loved that heat action!

[@jamesallan5914]

The ant lions in Half Life 2 are one of the all time classics. Spend ages fighting against them, then with a help of a pheromone pod, all of a sudden they're on your side.

[@kateyderr3077]

I'm surprised you didn't mention how in Elden Ring, the jade masked critters in catacombs, the cat dog bosses, and the titan constructs, will electrically short out and turn on their allies if you strike them with enough crystal darts.

[@Darcnhife]

Can they attack invaders?

[@kateyderr3077]

@@Darcnhife I've never had a chance to play online. Playing offline makes me rage quit more than enough already. 😂

[@claratalbot7613]

I immediately thought of Hypnotize from Bioshock that allows u to turn a big Daddy into a powerhouse protector that will murder every single splicer that comes anywhere near u as if u are their little sister they must protect

[@iandoddsblah]

Earlier on in TLOU2 there are two areas with both infected and human enemies.. you can set up them meeting and make your passage significantly easier.

[@seanmcbride434]

Always loved getting the Goliaths in Borderlands to not only kill their friends, they level up and give you the goods when you put them down.

[@marcusc9931]

I remember some sith threateningly tracing a half circle in the floor with a lightsaber... while standing on a glass roof.

[@Peter_The_Great]

Sounds like something from Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy?

[@captainhindsight6994]

Honourable mention to the super mutant suicider. Yes, he doesn't attack your enemies per say but he does help you alot

[@stunner5792]

Glad I subbed to your channel, remember when I use to watch Andy through my Xbox 360 back in Uni around 2011. The man has aged well and he still funny asf with the signature british dark humour.

[@alzingafagan7501]

What about everything in Shadow of War? When Uruks are not trying to kill you, they occasionally get bored, look at their comrade and say,"what the heck, we just pulled a new uruk out the cats anyway," and 0roceed to go ham with killing their allies.

[@fatalwaffle1715]

Awesome video! I've always like to watch enemies fight each other I even like when you can turn enemies into allies.

[@Burningtoast212]

Bloodborne, when you fight the Celestial Emissary, you can use the shaman bone blade on it, you can get all the minions to kill the boss for you

[@brandsworth2022]

Borderlands series. Goliaths are so fun because they actually level up and drop better loot when they kill their mates

[@AzureKnight2]

Glad they included the clip of Fat Geralt punching Lev when talking about TLoU2. What a hero. He gave us one of the best moments in that awful game.

[@saltmyne]

been playing Zombie Army 4: Dead War recently and quite a few of the special zombies harm the rest. flamers setting them on fire, gunners mowing em down, stuff like that. it's pretty fun to splatter a group of zombies by shooting a suicider that's in the middle of it

[@Kopmad495]

I'll never forget in the original Doom where you could get enemys to fight each other by getting them to hit each other, even just one hit and they'd go at each other instead. Good times.

[@Cuckoorex]

In one of the early Thief games, I think it was The Dark Project, there's a spot on tge rooftops where you can kinda trick two sets of guards on adjoining rooftops to start attacking each other and then pick off the survivors.

[@Doomted90]

"Anyway, this bad idea turns out to be a bad idea..." I swear I love this channel.

[@ironbatman9689]

Tetris is about killing blocks, unless it's multiplayer, then it's about eliminating other players. (That's just another word for killing)

[@catgoat6471]

Tears of the Kingdom. Use a muddlebud to turn enemies against each other. It's my favorite part of the game.

[@flibbernodgets7018]

My favorite is when the grunts from Halo yell "I'M HELPING!" as they lob a plasma grenade onto one of their friends. Poor Flipyap.

[@Barnowl65]

Surprised Binding of Isaac didn't make the list. Hit anything with charm tears and an enemy will clear the room for you. It even works on bosses!

[@zacharyheine4177]

When you play Kingdom Come Deliverance the two hostile factions, bandits and Cumans are constantly battling eachother when you show up. You can also do the classic punch a guard and lead him into a bandit camp to clear it for you

[@oblivion715]

4:20 A sword for Pirate Stuff™️, a gun for ranged combat and Hidden Blades for quiet kills. An assassin uses EVERYTHING.

In borderland 2 if you shoot a Goliath helmet off, he goes on a rampage and will murder the closest enemy he could find.
