Fromsoft's Most Disturbing Monsters

Hiya folks, If you need cheering up after all this horror, I've got a video on Fromsoft's Most Beautiful Monsters too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5qneJR4iNqpnJo

Fun fact: the putrid corpses in Elden Ring aren't actually undead. Thanks to the Erdtree's gift of immortality, they have actually just been alive for so long that they have begun decomposing from the inside out. That is why they don't have a particular weakness to holy damage, since they are somehow technically still alive.

Brain of mensis for me, how its the only great one that just sits there and stares at you. I hate how you have to attack it for like five minutes straight while it just observes you. You cant tell if it feels pain or not because it makes no audible reaction to being eviscerated. And if you dont kill it, it just sits there in the void for all eternity. Kind of reminds me of I have no mouth and i must scream.

[@sadgirlhours4088]

It's insane how realistic it looks too. The graphics for this game are insane

[@IcedMalaChaiTea]

And how it's pitch black when you go down to meet it and it slowly comes into picture with all the eyeballs. Probably my favorite spooky visual in all of the Fromsoft games.

[@LuciferHunter-kt7pm]

Omg! Going down in that pitch black pit after you knock it down. The eye! THE EYE!!

[@Germanica1871]

"Fear not the Dark, my friend... And let the Feast begin." Is probably the most uncanny and downright creepy line in Dark Souls.

[@Germanica1871]

Probably only rivaled by Gherman's "Tonight, Gherman joins the hunt." But that is more like a "now I am absolutely f-ed" and "holy crap" moment.

[@core-nix1885]

It's an Alexandrine; 6 syllables, then 6 syllables. Iambic hexameter.

[@Noizzed]

"Fear not the dark" is ok as Darkness is the true origin of mankind's soul, but it's his twisted interpretation of it by adding "and let the feast begin" what makes it creepy. Unlike hollows he doesn't care about reestablishing the natural order of the world, but just wants to feast on the humanity of man.

[@giovanniprovost]

It's my favorite line in the souls series tied with Aldia's lie will remain a lie line.

[@kode-man23]

FromSoft had one chance to do a proper “fake-out” ending for a boss. They were only ever going to get one of those, and they made it count with the Guardian Ape.

[@Butley]

One of the most disturbing things about Osiris is that ocelot is actually modeled and Osiris is actually holding him but he is made invisible in the game.

[@RaisenKiri]

Not to mention a cut sound file that plays during the phase transition-in where you hear Ocelot’s crying more erratically-then a visceral ‘squelch’;implying that when Oceiros just straight-up smushed him into the pavement upon phase 2. Yikes… 🤢

[@larb6314]

The creepiest enemy in Elden Ring imo are the omenkillers. The lore is that they take drugs to cloud their emotions, to make their job of slaughtering omens easier, and their swords are described as adding brilliant splashes of color to the carnage, giving a glimpse into what their thoughts are like. What really makes me consider them creepy, is the singular omen killer looking over a pile of burning corpses in volcano manor. Because of its enigmatic masked face, you have no idea what he’s thinking. The enemy doesn’t patrol or move, he just stares at the flames. It’s one of the most memorable encounters in the game imo.

[@enterusername6953]

Despite being disturbing, Omenkillers are very confusing to me. We never actually see them hunt and kill the actual Omens in the game. The closest correlation I can think of is the one above the well in Leyndell. But based off what they do in the game, they feel more like "Albinauric" Killers instead. We mostly see them butchering them in the Albinauric Village from the orders of Gideon and the Volcano Manor prison. However, it does say that they butcher Omens when they are babies. Kind of shows how satistic and evil they are since they prey on the weak (babies and 1st gen immobile Albinaurics). Also, I've seen modded NPC battles of Omenkillers Vs Omens. And the Omenkillers mostly get their ass kicked by the Omens lol. Found it amusing.

[@ace-smith]

@@enterusername6953 i'm not surprised whatsoever about the npc battles. first playthrough first time i encountered a normal non-margit omen, i was thinking "alright, i already beat an omenkiller, let's see how quickly i fillet you" and then i got kicked in the face seventy times

[@enterusername6953]

@ace-smith Yup! Those sewer Omens are no joke.

[@Charnel_Heart]

Ill never forget the labyrinth madmen from bloodborne. If you hear them scream then theyre already sprinting to your location. And more often than not by the time you turn around youre eating a pickaxe. You just sownd the whole dungeon listening real careful.

[@eightyoneskillz]

Thank you ... i mentioned them in my own comment ... the scream, the piercing scream .... pure Horror

[@lunarluxe9832]

yeaaaa in the fetid/rotted/cursed chalices those guys made my skin crawl and the run animation is horrific

[@nathanrolls4015]

a thing i noticed about the sewer centipedes in DS3. they have long hair which can attribute to them a feminine look, but i also think it serves a second, more nefarious purpose. Notice they lower their heads into the filthy water to have their hair spread out, it feels like the hair itself is some form of sensory organ like very fine antennae, they know what lurks nearby despite not having a face with eyes to see.

[@Ssalamanderr]

The first time I explored a jar dungeon in Shadow of the Erdtree was probably the most disturbed I've been in any of these games, even including Bloodborne. Just going through this labyrinth of jars knowing what's inside was insane.

[@Ytinasniiable]

This, that first jar gaol I found and the phantom begging to not end up in a jar was chilling Especially when juxtaposed to Alexander and Barin who are so wholesome

[@ihatewzrd64]

those fuckin weird baby lookin monsters in irithyl dungeon are just so creepy. i don't think they're mentioned at all in any item descriptions and some aren't even hostile. weird.

[@deafshark9932]

Afaik they were botched experiments of cross-breeding dragons and humans.

[@astrangefishman6451]

The Wretches are specifically mentioned in the descriptions of their weapons, but they do still raise questions. Because of their malformed wings, their dragonbone weapons, and the fact that they deem their own flesh unworthy, the community generally accepts them to be failed results of Oceiros's experimentation with becoming an immortal dragon.

[@vengefulforces7395]

​@@astrangefishman6451is this supposed to imply a relationship between Oceiros and Pontiff Sullyvan? Like maybe Oceiros acted as a puppet king for the Pontiff to control from the shadows in exchange for helping him reach dragonhood?

[@astrangefishman6451]

@@vengefulforces7395 It's honestly up to your interpretation. There isn't any single direct connection between the two that I remember, but there generally does seem to be some diplomacy between Lothric and Irithyll and/or the Pontiff, from the presence of the outriders, the Lothric dragon worshippers that made pilgrimages to the Irithyll dungeon, and some vague imagery linking the Pontiff and the Grand Archives. Considering we don't get a direct answer, fan theories typically lean towards the idea that Sulyvahn either offered them the dungeons and the outriders in exchange for access to the Archives to expand his sorcerous knowledge, or some even speculate that he got himself an in with the kingdom, becoming the mentor of Prince Lothric that convinced him not to link the fire. The latter is unlikely considering he also has to compete with the Primordial Serpents and Aldia for that title, but still food for thought.

Fromsoft does tend to create some beautiful horror via it's combination of traditionally "western" culture (from knights to Lovecraft's unknowable abominations) with Buddhism (trapped in a constant cycle of life an death) and Japanese mythological elements (i.e why the Dung Eater eats dung), which results in some just out-of-left-field shit that sticks with you. Also, fear not the dark, my friend. And let the feast begin.

[@craneteam87]

i think Mohg is very disturbing with the way he drips out of the cocoon then grovels before miquella. and the horn that has pierced his eye. you just know that was a slow, painful process

Well the "Manifests out of pool of blood" thing is not something new. I've seen it done before specially in vampire movies and such. But yeah the Miquella part seems painful although Miquella did kinda plan that to get to the Shadow Realm in the first place.

I would consider the frenzied merchants in the 3 fingers area to be my number one. Seeing the hundreds of burned merchants, hearing one of them continue to play a sad song and then being attacked by one of them was easily the saddest and scariest moment in any souls game for me. Then I learned the lore behind them and it was even worse than what I had imagined. Even though the enemies themselves are not that dangerous or scary, it's how they fit into their environment to tell their dark story that made them the most disturbing to me.

[@kode-man23]

Yes. That entire area is underrated in general. I think that the obtuse parkour section probably put a lot of people off from experiencing it more than once (if at all), because I almost never hear people talk about that section.

What always got me with the locusts is the way they talk, they don't ham it up, they don't even really sound malicious, they just sound...calm and almost inviting. Yet something about their candence and tone sounds off somehow, kinda gives me the same uneasy feeling as barely hearing someone talking behind a wall, except I can perfectly make out what they're saying, if not their cryptic meaning. Its incredibly overused of a comparison, but they genuinely kinda hit close to the uncanny valley for me.

[@Locaneo]

I'd put the Chaos cups from Dark Souls 1 and the white octopi from Bloodborne on my list. I never want to touch or even look at either of those monstrosities ever again.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

Funnily enough, the song you read the lyrics of seems to be referencing a form of self mummification some extreme sects of Buddhism practiced. That also seems to be the inspiration for the centipede monks judging by their appearance.

[@Crowned_PvP]

while not grotesque, i'm surprised noone said anything about The Old One in demon souls. especially that cutscene in the remake had a very eldritch horror vibe that they haven't replicated anywhere else as well in from games. you can see its hide pierced by a thousand spears and pikes and rods from obvious attempts to kill it in the past, but it simply moves like it was unaffected. And the fact that it covers the planet with mist (which i think led to ds1 intro) and brings demons that brought an entire civilisation to its knees is a chilling thought. Its almost a malevolent version of Elden rings outer gods like the greater will, solely focused on the end of all life. and the fact that we end the game by walking through its mouth into an overgrown grotto is just chefs kiss

[@TheReclaimers]

[@ahcangela8549]

I actually think it's scarier to have Ocelotte survive Oceiros' tantrum. If you go in there and cause him to go mad and kill his baby, that is certainly disturbing. But consider the alternative where an immortal baby has been trapped with Oceiros and treated that way for countless years, unable to grow up and eternally at the mercy of a violent unstable lunatic.

[@fathercosmic8061]

One other thing that I didn't notice at first about the monstrous dogs of Caelid, is the fact that when they're walking, they still move their little front paws as if they're walking on all fours. Clearly this has to mean that there was some sort of mutation that made them the way they are now, so they used to walk on all fours before they became the giant monstrous Rex dogs they are now. That's kind of sad when you think about it.

[@severalcakes3267]

Another disturbing thing about Rykard is that he’s already powerful enough to kill his father and take over the world. We can only really fight him with a weapon specifically designed for the task. All that’s holding him back is either not being able to get around the Erdtree’s protection… or maybe the Lands Between are only saved by how Rykard doesn’t seem fully in control of the God-Devouring Serpent.

Great video brother, A bit sad that the Demon of Song from DS2 didn't get a mention- Hearing the dreamy music the whole Area only to find it's from this monstrosity was pretty awesome. Although DS2's style felt airy so the horror didn't hit as hard (if that makes sense) the Demon of Song was still pretty disturbing to me with it's general design and it's surrounding story. The idea that a demon learnt the song of it's prison guard to lure in victims is pretty neato. Also the big blobs of flesh from DS1, I've never understood what they were but I've always imagined them as the residents of New Londo. In All honesty the whole of New Londo is disturbing as hell to me, Darkwraiths, a Big Toothy Snake, Flesh Blobs, Spooky Ghosts and Banshees, it's got the whole lot.

[@falcoon_f_zero9450]

Great fun video for the spooky month. Quite surprised the Monstrosities of sin from DS3 didn't make the list. They have probably the most wonderfully twisted designs in the FromSoftware games with their bloated hairy bodies, open stomachs with eyes piled on the inside and of course their head being a giant 8-fingered hand with teeth strewn around the "palm" of it. One of the more disturbing designs that stuck in my mind.

[@zarreyex]

I find the Mad Dumplings from Elden Ring particularly unsettling. The way they scuttle towards you at a frightening speed all while making those sounds is so disturbing.

[@pizletwizzler198]

Kinda shocked "Ludwig, The Accursed", "Bloatheads", "Monstrosity of Sin", "Abyssal Woods Untouchables", and "Gravekeeper Scorpions" didn't make the list... or perhaps there's just too much creepy stuff in FROMSOFT games to possibly cover it all.🤷

[@DHAZ15]

Very good video! I would like to note one thing though, perhaps you had already considered that your demographic would be mostly souls veterans or at least people with souls experience if so, ignore this comment by all means! Anyway, I would have liked a bit more explanations as to what grafting pertains, or why Oceiros for example was so determined to become so draconic. Little things, so it's mostly very nitpicky. Otherwise I loved the video very much and pretty much agree with all your points and rankings! Will definitely check out your other videos! :]

[@lemonlemons]

I'm shocked the picasa from DS1 didnt top the list. Their introduction with the screeching record, so horrid that the serpent men that have battered you flee from them. But the sounds they make, their distorted femimine figures, and dear god, the horde of them by Logan with two of them completely pacificst, and just weeping in constant horror. And the items you get when you kill them instantly painting a depraved answer to their origin. I feel like i have to close my eyes when i put them down. And i feel i have to end them every playthrough.

[@UnseelieFaelass]

For me, the most horrifying monsters in FromSoft games, come from a game everyone forgot existed. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FYI! Their first and I think only experiment with VR technology, Déracíne. In this game, Faeries are the only monsters you know. You actually are one throughout the game. Here's the thing though, Faeries can only truly be born if they take time from another being. By this, the game means your time left alive. Yes, a human or other creature has to die in order for you to be born. Otherwise you will fade into oblivion and be forgotten in due time. This is important because, (MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!) your character's Mother is a Dark Faerie. To further elaborate, a 'Dark Faerie' comes about when a human brute forces their way into becoming one by dying with a certain ring on. The one that takes time from others and can pass it on. Here's where things go horribly wrong though. Your character was a baby and was killed on purpose to try and make a human who could make a perfect Faerie. Newborn babies have no concept of time or any connections yet. Thus they won't be tempted to use time for ill or take it maliciously. But because you died, your Mother drowns herself with the ring on so that she can prevent the event out of crushing guilt and despair. Resulting in a Faerie that rampages around and kills various characters at one point, most of whom are children of varying ages. Watching those children suddenly disappear one by one in front of you whilst your Mother steals their time is always horrifying to watch. Only one of the children survives this, and you have to take his time to go back and reverse what was done to cause this tragedy. You can also accidentally create a Dark Faerie yourself at the beginning, by making the child you initially take time from a Faerie too. At first things are normal, but before long the same dark temptation takes her and she takes the time of everyone in the orphanage. Begging you to take the time back and end her. This is one of the many 'endings' you can achieve before going back in time again. I love love LOVE how Faeries were handled in Déracíne. If anyone wants to know more, look for VaatiVidya's two videos on the game's story and lore. If I had the money for this game, I'd absolutely play it.

The fact that your character in ds3 can wade through all the wretched monsters and miserable deaths as they do and still decide to link the flame - even if it only buys their dying world a little more time before everything returns to a state of mindless inanimacy - makes the ending of barely linking the flame the most badass in the series

On my first playthrough I took much care to never be „touched“ by those fellows.

Interesting anecdote about the man with the injured face. I believe I have also seen that video, or one very much like it. It was a clip appended to dash cam footage of a vicious motorcycle accident on Reddit. I think it may have just been added for shock value. The man had very bloodshot eyes, and the skin around them was quite loose. He had no jaw, maybe not even a nose, and I think his esophagus was exposed and the muscles were contracting. The way the man's eyes slowly rolled toward the camera was haunting. I was traumatized, and convinced myself it was a very convincing practical effect to cope. I can see what you mean about the green head chariots...

Rykar and the battle against him is the single most metal moment in From Softwares Soulsborne run…

[@chrismendoza7942]

I wish I wasn’t spoiled on the guardian apes surprise by suggested videos on KZbin before I played it. Took away from my play through I think lol cause that fight is one of my favorite from all games ever, the music is top tier too. What creeps me out too is that apes aren’t as intelligent as people, so like the idea of an animal dying but still holding on to its head to keep just weird me out.

[@logarius2178]

This is a Good Video, however I’m kinda disappointed that the one of the most disturbing fromsoft enemy is gotta be Headless from sekiro From the area they reside, the music, the debuff and the weird moveset it puts on players is terrifying And that disturbing move where it shoves his hands inside the players “Elden ring” and pulls out god knows what is insane.

[@thebarghestiest]

I swear there's NOTHING in Bloodborne that comes close to being as terrifying as some parts of Elden Ring. Obviously fear is very personal but the first time I found Ainsel River and saw those giant ants I literally heaved. Ants scare the daylights out of me and the shot of them just lurking and waiting for you to approach absolutely wrecked me; I legitimately thought for a minute I was going to have to make my husband play through that section for me. Totally agree with you on the wormfaces, the foggy woods at the Altus Plateau where you can just hear them weeping is ugghhhhh

On my first encounter with Oceiros I had no idea what was happening story-wise, but it was so strange and fascinating that I’ll always remember it. Another special moment was running into the sulyvahn beast on the bridge: their designs are more cool than creepy, but I love the lore inspiration they took from the hounds of tindalos (thanks zullie), plus the whole praying thing. They’re easily my favorite enemy/miniboss in the game. Also at 18:11 that’s a whip spider, not whip scorpion (maybe you meant to say tailless whip scorpion)

Contender for best Souls channel, no doubt👍

[@candletype1a447]

Aw shucks, you're making me blush... cheers m8 haha, thanks for liking my stuff!

[@moneygrowslikegrass]

I'm surprised Revenant wasn't mentioned

[@melkerbotin7098]

Amazing video, I love it!! I just had to ask what music that is on the background during number 2?

[@cringesuperhell]

the crows and dog-t-rex's are SO unnerving, and i honestly think it has something to do with their heads being so big, lmao. i think for a creature to be TRULY creepy or scary looking, it's gotta be just a liiiittle bit goofy. because if it's not, it's just cool. and cool isn't scary, cool is cool. it's the absurdity that makes them so... bleugh!

[@fromrawn9303]

No Bloodborne chalice dungeon forgotten mad man? The dude that lost his mind and uses a mummy to attack you? Bruh

[@eightyoneskillz]

Chalice dungeons are one of the most scary area's fromsoft ever created ... the labyrinth's sage ?! The scream scares me til today

[@velhokala8456]

​@@eightyoneskillzthe feeling when you accidentally hit a wall or something and hear them start running and screaming towards you is absolutely horrifying.

[@michaelgrainger9946]

Great to see you back mate 👍

[@RyanSeanEckford]

The age of fire is done. It’s now the age of candle!

[@blugger]

But isn't a candle also a fire? Unless it's unlit, I guess Now begins the age of wax!

[@Wumpadrumpa]

New sub to Candle, but every video he puts out is peak. Excited to watch this one!

[@SnuSnuDungeon]

The "HandBabies" of the Profane Capital and the SpiderFingers of Elden Ring will forever haunt me

[@duk3122]

After everything the Hornsent did... Marika's actions were more than justified, and the fact Messmer even stayed behind guarding the land of shadow, just to try and save the other shamans... Its just fucking heartwrenching

[@erdngtn9942]

My favorite part of this video is that you can actually play unlike the examples other people breaking fromsoft down in their videos.

[@proxy6330]

the wormfaces kind of seem like roots of the erdtree itself separated and taken over by deathblight, somehow given its own life and forced to mourn their own separation i have no clue what they really are, but they look cool
