Ranking the Scariest Enemy from Each Soulsborne Game!

[@BillySYT]

It's the spooky season. This week, Scariest Enemies, next week, Scariest Soulsborne Moments, so stay tuned! And thank you again for 10k Subscribers! I want to do a special video to celebrate, but it'll have to wait until November!

[@webofnick]

The headless from Sekiro are even more terrifying when you understand their grab attack. They don't rip out Wolf's spine. It's much worse: In old Japanese culture the soul of a human is actually stored...in their anus. So the headless attack Sekiro's soul - by shoving their hands up his asshole and ripping out his soul. Now THAT's fucked up.

[@lurieelcari]

It gets worse when you pay attention to how they store the shirikodama up their own anus after a successful grab. Kappa demons are old folklore. Interestingly, there is a thought that the reason people believed this was because when people die in a river or lake, usually by drowning, their bodies anuses "open" and when they were found this way, it was assumed the soul had either escaped or been stolen by a kappa. In reality, this is a normal occurrence for a few different forms of death.

Idk, seems like the usual friday night for me

[@novemberbravo6194]

“My crippling arachnophobia” I’m right there with you, my friend. There’s a reason why my wife and I have a deal when it comes to insects in the house: I deal with anything that has 6 legs, she handles anything with 8 legs. Anyways, I’d give you a hearty shoulder-pat-pat while shaking your hand in solidarity if I could. Great content, looking forward to checking out some of your other stuff!

[@intricatepickle5931]

The scariest enemy in Elden Ring for me is the worm faces. First time I got to that forest and just heard all the terrifying sounds they made, plus their design. It's just creepy. Nevermind the really big one lol

[@theultimatep1e40]

imo its the rune bears, they were just always too hard to deal with for me somehow

[@intricatepickle5931]

@@theultimatep1e40 Killing that one little dude and he turns into a runebear scared me so much the first time lmao

[@tytar1037]

I think the blight they spew scares me the most. Dying to a worm face is very embarrassing. For me at least lol

[@TheJols]

They are creepy but they almost seem sad or something. Feel bad for them 😢

[@TheJols]

​@@theultimatep1e40I remember getting up onto a shack one couldnt reach then killing it with poison arrows. Only one I killed but pretty satisfying even though I cheesed it.

[@Not.A.Heretic]

the deep accursed in DS3 is just on another level for me. that thing is nightmare fuel

[@devilkera]

if you lead the one in arnor londo to the big elevator, his ai will break and he will become fully harlmess and just make a funny noise from his teeth touching touching eachother, Experiencing this made me go from fearing them to thinking they are kind of adorable

[@luisalejandro3998]

If you read the description of "Eleonora", the axe the Monstrosities Of Sin drop, you can deduce they are the women/witches who triggered the disaster of the Profaned Flame, the one that engulfed the citie on fire.

[@moricree5154]

Unfun fact. The grab performed by the headless is based on a japanese tale, that the soul is located in your lower body. So yeah, this thing literally rips your soul out of your ass. Yay.

[@BillySYT]

So the actual interpretation is somehow even worse than my interpretation of spine ripping. Lovely.

[@matman000000]

It's also what inspired the Dung Eater, basically a serial killer a$$ graping his victims to curse their souls

[@Disarray-ef4rt]

A note about the monstrosities of sin, they likely have a direct connection to the abyss and manus. This is not only due to the they're name, but also because Manus in Latin means hands and they have hands for faces. I know not if that was an obvious connection to be made, i just thought it was an interesting connection to make.

[@megbudr0ck608]

Also their faces are the same as Manus’ hand

[@supersmoothsailin6178]

For me in DS3 the Elder Ghrus in the swamps were nightmare material

[@geraltofrivia7448]

The headless actually steals your soul through your ass when he does the grab attack 💀. It's inspired by a Japanese urban legend. The same one that inspired the dung eater from elden ring

[@ES21007]

Not an urban legend, old mythology of the kappa monsters.

[@Farfaramir]

I would say the darkdwellers in no mans wharf are the scariest enemies in ds2. I just noped away when I saw the first one in my first playtrough

[@BillySYT]

On a first playthrough, I totally get it. Nowadays, I just think they're goofy and make silly noises lol

[@OCEAN-fc9wl]

The curse jars are way scarier

[@NisseDood]

@@BillySYT Speacially when spooking them with a torch. :V

[@insert_apathetic]

I’m so glad you picked the labyrinth sage for bloodborne, it actually terrifies me on first encounter.

[@AeonKnigh432]

My a worst Soulsborne experience is when I was rune grinding in Elden Ring and I ran up to the crow just behind the grace near the boss, and a massive HAND just fell from the sky and on top of me. And then that became my go-to grinding spot because the crow is super close to a grace and auto dies and drops 1000 ish runes, plus the hand drops 4000, so it's a great grinding spot.

[@michaelbarker6732]

For Bloodborne I think the scariest enemy is the small gaping dragon type thing that is in Byrgenwerth. I don’t know how else to describe it other than a mini gaping dragon shaped insect thing. For dark souls 3 it is DEFINITELY the long hair centipede things. Every time I see one of those I want to actually smash my TV to get it away.

[@chacharealsmooth4667]

They’re called Fluorescent Flowers and are more common in the chalice dungeons

[@michaelbarker6732]

@@chacharealsmooth4667 ah yes you can find more of them in the chalice dungeons! They are insanely creepy looking, like some sort of giant arthropod from the carboniferous period.

[@TosherHaney-i5j]

For me the scariest enemies in bloodborne are the sharks in the well. Those took me 6 hours to beat

[@michaelbarker6732]

@@TosherHaney-i5jtrue but I think there are 2 distinct types of scary enemy. Some just look scary or sound scary and creep you out when you see them and others are scary because you fear encountering them and how the encounter will go. I think if we are going by the second type it’s the shark dudes for BB 100% and for DS1 I could not think of a better candidate than basilisks.

[@tytar1037]

Finger creepers get stunned if you set them on fire. Even a torch will stun them and make them roll around for a little bit. Thank god for that!

[@strozum]

In DS3: Those freaking flies in Friede's basement. They make me puke.

[@xiphi7138]

I think the scariest enemy I faced in Souls games is also one of my favourites. I just love the Winter Lanterns. Their design is so creepy and trigger the uncanny valley so much to me. The fact that they have a similar dress to the Doll and their head is made of messengers make them so terrifying. And of course, earing this song always trigger my nerves. I love to play Metal Gear Solid against them, this is the only one enemy on the series that I fight like this And great list ! The Fingercreeps who jumpscare you from the ground are truly the bane of my existence, even if the middle finger attack they can do make me smile

[@egg1767]

For ds3 definitely those bone spider lady’s things freak me out

[@Devilishtime]

The sewer centipedes? yeah no those are the worst

[@TheLastGame666]

Honestly i love the existance of this type of enemy varieties. Royal revenant is a really tough enemy that most people hate/avoid, and i like that, the idea that there is this one enemy that everyone collectively avoid and are scared of lmao.

[@jakesteel4916]

I didn't even know their name when I clicked on the video but I'm so happy you called out the Labyrinth Sage for Bloodborne. That fucking run animation...

[@seymourflux747]

darklurker would be my ds2 pick even if it's a boss. I've always felt unsettled by him more than anything in ds2. and I like how you can actually see him through a crack in the wall if you look carefully before dropping into his arena, which just adds to his terror

[@Welcometotheslam5424]

I’m pretty sure the Monstrosity of Sin were witches who attacked the Profaned Capital and were cursed to become these… monstrosities.

[@wilbert3842]

Mass of souls and basilisk in ds1 are the scariest to me. The mass for shock factory and the basilisk for the panic the curse meter puts on you as a first time player

[@ASmartNameForMe]

For DS3 the contorted spider women in the aqueduct of Irithyll is easily the worst. Those fuckers and how theyd appear from nowhere, the sounds they made, their movement and the wet hair made me want to get a flamethrower everytime i saw one screaming "KILL IT!"

[@sandukan1001]

Agree on Demon's Souls. For DS1 the skeleton dogs are still the most terrifying. The scariest encounter in DS2 would be the giants hidden in the dark. For DS3 it would be the Corvians in the dlc and the weird multi leg things that come out of the water. In Bloodborne just everything terrifies me but the scariest would be the shark giants or the the tentacle face giants near where you can get the pizza cutter weapons. Agree on the headless in the Sekiro. And in Elden Ring it would be the big ass super fast crows for me, especially the blood versions.

[@basicallybroly]

For DS1 hearing the Mimic dying sound scares me the most

[@theultimatep1e40]

Billy is way scarier then these enemies could ever be

[@WolfBergMenace]

The almost invisible shades in the Shaded Woods in DS2 are also a contender enemy imo. Not being able to lock on and barely seeing them in the fog can cause one to panic. It doesnt help that they look EXACTLY like player ghosts.

[@bigbrungus]

Honestly, I find the Monstrosity of Sin kinda cute in a weird sort of way? Like, they’re just these big eldritch babies and I kinda love them?? For me, in terms of DS3 enemies, I found the baby-faced things from Irithyll Dungeon, white spiders in the little swampy alcove, and (ESPECIALLY) the giant dog-spider in the Cathedral much scarier. Not sure if bosses count, but the Dancer of all things terrified me my first time fighting it. There’s something so uncanny and off-putting about it’s design and moveset combined with its immense size, and imagining the horrors that turned this (presumably) once beautiful thing into the wretch we encounter in-game genuinely makes me sick.

[@hohepriestersulyvahn1749]

The Masses of Souls in DS1 also have a really, let's say, weird design (the lumps of mud with their long spear tongue summoning the red explosive skulls).

[@stephanie_jjb]

Ooo ooo ooo I know this one, the monstrosity of sin were people that were mutated by the profaned flame. The flame was born from the soul of alsanna the silent Oracle from dark souls 2. One of the item descriptions specifically mention the flame was created by the descendants of an oracle using her soul, she is the only other character referred to as. Alsanna was born from a fragment of manus' soul. So the reason these creatures have giant hands for faces is because they were essentially born from somebody lighting a fragment of a fragment of manus' soul on fire and the damn thing freaking out like some kinda dark souls demon core.

[@cecefuss]

Probably your ranking list that I agree the most with - great job Billy!

[@rogiue5177]

First mistake in elden ring, was entering a forrest at the dead of night. And then hearing and witnessing the worm faces, legit thought i was playing Slenderman

[@BillySYT]

When you enter the forest do go the the lesser erdtree thinking "Can't wait to fight another avatar" and then deathblight worm-faced

[@euanruss6822]

Hands down the scariest enemy's in the series for me are the giant flies from Ashes of Ariendel, I found just convincing myself to go in that room full of them harder than the fight with Sister Friede Edit: WHY DID THEY BRING THEM BACK IN SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE, WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

The headless actually is taking out your soul in that grab attack. According to one japanese legend its like this ball where your soul is located. Its called shirikodama.

[@juliebrown7745]

The thing that creeped me out the most in bloodborne was subtle. It was the crows with dog heads and the dogs with crow heads. Something about that kind of body modification just made me pause and say wtf. Some people in real life do this to animals and that's where it freaks me tf out

[@BillySYT]

One of my favourite enemies to see live reactions to when somebody new plays Bloodborne. It's just so wrong on so many levels.

[@juliebrown7745]

@BillySYT I love the super eldrich horrifying abominations, but I draw the line at those crows lunging at me with their dog teeth ;-; Big Nope. And of course that had to be the blood echo farming area with those PIGS WITH TOO MANY EYES

[@NeloBladeOfRanni]

[@uncleol]

[@LucienThePeacebringer]

[@darianclark3980]

LFG! I knew the Crazied(Labyrinth) Sages would be here! It terrified my brother when it jumpscared everyone.

[@danielgholami]

The labirynth sages also wield still alive corpses and attack you with them. So there is more nightmare fuel. I also think the loran silverbeasts are also really freaky, there is a reason they are mostly found in the nightmare relams.The way they run at you, their giant claws and the way they use their torches. And once they have low health they drop their torch and start crawling like the wolf enemies.They also have maggots in them in mensis.

[@AltAccount-dz8rp]

My opinion DeS: Mindflayers DS1: Mimics DS2: Darkdwellers Bloodborne: tie between Loran Silverbeast, Giant Sharkmen and Nightmare of Mensis pigs DS3: Sewer Centipede Sekiro: Great Colored Carp ER: Fingercreepers

[@springssprangyard8278]

I know it's easy to find it comical because nowadays people think the graphics outdatd, but the way the DeS Mindflayers dash towards you with that sped up running animation is still terrifying to me lmao, it's exactly like watching an insect creep towards you with an insane burst of speed.

[@chrislevack405]

[@BillySYT]

Scariest enemy is paying Playstation subscription prices for PS4 online :O

[@AnDaPaVapE]

The Monstrosities of Sin in DS3 represent 3 major Sins: Gluttony, Greed and Sloth. They where once female Priests of the profane City who succomb to the Corruption of the profane Flame. It´s also represented in the Axe the middle Monster drops when defeated, called "Eleonora". The Ash of War on this Axe is called "Call to Feast"., wich ties in with their Sin of Gluttony.

[@thex6992]

For me the mad ones in Bloodborne are absolutely terrifying, idk why when I first saw one it triggered some hidden childhood fear. And The cemetery shade in elden ring which look almost exactly the same, but they're a corpse controlled by a DISGUSTING insect instead of their brain.

[@TheCaptain-ky1sx]

I think the scariest enemy for me, in ALL of soulsborne ring were the snake maidens in Seath's prison. It was everything.... the haunting weeping, the fact they rush you up the stairs and you can see them coming, and the odd reason that they got their own CUT SCENE made me thing they were MUCH scarier than they actually are. I was also 14 heh

[@inorris609]

[@ΓιώργοςΛιοδακής-ε4τ]

Haven't played Demon Souls unfortunately but my scariest enemies in the games I've played are DS1 : the skeletons in all fours in tomb of the giants DS2 : don't have anything in particular but if i had to choose i would say those boogeymen in no man's warf that are afraid of light DS3 : the baby faced things in Irithyl dungeon ( the giant hands and those bug like women are close second and third very closo) Bloodborne: the shark giants Sekiro: definitely the headless ( he does not go for the spine 😅 in Japanese tales and folklore it is said that your soul is in your... Well.... Anus... So the headless is basically fisting you to take your soul okay enough) Elden ring: revenants , there are more that terrify me but nothing can beat those things

Imo, the scariest enemy in ER, were the giant slugs in the Leyndell sewers, I really don't know why, but slugs REALLY creep me out, so seeing them there, in like, everywhere, makes me terrified. The Frenzied Flame is my favorite ending in ER, but those giant slugs are the only reason why I don't do this ending in all my playthroughs.

Elden Ring's scariest enemy for me (someone with a massive fear of bugs) is far and away the God damn Ants. Doesn't help that I did Ranni's quest on my playthrough so I had to see them a lot more than I would have otherwise. I hate the way they look, the way they move, the noises they make, everything about them. FUCK bugs bro

[@runicknight1151]

it didn't occur to me until quite recently but I think the Monstrosity of Sin enemies in DS3 are meant to reference Manus, their heads greatly resemble his hand that grabs you and pulls you in to Oolacile I think my DS3 pick has to go to the Pus of Man, they make me panic so much

[@paulclynes9865]

My pick for DS2 would be the Undead Aberration, you only see it once and very possibly not at all in NG as it's up in one of the cages in Aldia's Keep, then in NG+ there's two of them added into the water on the way to the Lost Sinner. Revolting to look at, fairly tanky, due to the afore-mentioned singular NG appearance a moveset you won't have much idea of, and unlike the Flexile Sentry in the same place the area where you get off the lift isn't safe from them.

[@edvard-swift3645]

I agree with your list, my first was dark souls and I was playing It blind and when I reach the New Lando ruins in finding the ghost that you cannot harm with normal weapons scared the crap out of me and I still remember the jump scare of the skeleton dog as the hug face was revealed from the darkness and to boot the enemy that dropped the lantern fell so hand no latern😑

[@thefuturist8864]

Those giant things with teeth in their head from Lost Izalith in DS1. The ones that grab the player and throw them up into the space in their head with the teeth.

[@jamestiberio9262]

Lol the mimics. I literally hit every single chest in every video game I play just in case.

[@RecRoomPlays]

Starting my list before I get to each part in the video and seeing how it matches up - Demon's Souls: The Mindflayers. Tower of Latria makes me the most unsettled out of any location in DsS for sure, and the mindflayers being able to paralyze you and then suck out all the juice from your body gets me every time. Dark Souls: Probably the skeleton dogs. It doesn't matter how many times I play Dark Souls, the Tomb of the Giants never gets better and those skeleton dogs kill me pretty much every time. Seeing them looming out of the darkness when you have light because they have just a short enough aggro range that you can see them first is just horrifying. Dark Souls II: Maybe the darkdwellers, those spider monkey guys in No Man's Wharf. But their aversion to light does defang them pretty heavily. DS2 doesn't really have many scary enemies imo. Dark Souls III: There are a few choices, but this one almost certainly has to go to the Deep Accursed, those things still terrify me. The second place choice is probably Sulyvahn's Beast, especially since you have to deal with two of them together at one point. Bloodborne: Semi-meme answer, the sharks. Everyone knows the well, and the horrors it contains. Runner-up goes to the Winter Lanterns for sure, for similar reasons as the Demon's Souls mindflayers. And other semi-meme answer, if we count them, then the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst, because I've said before how they always kick my ass, they should be the one ending the hunt, not me 😭 Elden Ring: Obviously the royal revenants. I think a respectable runner-up goes to the Kindred of Rot though, those centipede guys are awful and their magic consistently tore through me at every stage of the game. Now let's see - The ghosts are a good shout. That's definitely a huge "wtf" moment for a new player who's gone in blind, and one of the main reasons I default to going for the cursed greatsword most of the time. I've been called out for not doing the chalice dungeons, oh no 😭 The monstrosities of sin are definitely a good shout too, and now that I think about it they're probably an inspiring force behind the hand spiders in Elden Ring too. And there the hand spiders are lmao

[@vonFiedler]

Crazy the horrifying Elden Ring monsters that didn't even get a mention: abductor virgins, monstrous crows, giant crayfish... but for me, #1 has got to be the runebear.

[@BillySYT]

Abductor Virgins are more creepy than scary to me, monstrous crows are adorable, they just want hugs. The crayfish are iconic, they can punch me any day, but I'll 100% give you that the runebear is terrifying your first time through.

You're remembering wrong. The Firekeeper Soul is right at the start of the level. As you cross the first bridge, just turn to the right and you'll see it on a small ruin with a small path connecting it to the ruins. You can grab it in 15, 20 seconds, and it's easy to get early game because you can grab it and let yourself die, so you respawn back at Firelink immediately.

The scariest elden ring enemy for me are those crawlimg albinurics in volcano manor, the sound of them crawling after me is so unsettling

[@oldbittercraig3513]

IF you did a Top 10 of this, Bloodborne would own half the spots, easily. your nomination, the Winter Lanterns, those damned Brain Suckers (particularly in Upper Cathedral Ward), tons of unnerving stuff there that makes some of the worst of other games seem absolutely inoffensive.

[@Paul_McSeol]

For DS3, that was my first thought too. But I might go with the evangelists just because of that awful, horrible laugh they do. Shivers, mate. Gives me shivers.

[@Taya-9822]

It's funny the fingercreepers looks like their giving you the finger before they attack you😂

[@mr.toothy]

The giant murder crows top the list for me of the scariest Elden Ring enemies. Walking into Caelid and seeing one of those motherfuckers perched on a tree made me want to leave almost immediately. And I swear they are the HARDEST enemies in the game. Royal Revenants are more annoying but the crows Never fail to fuck me up. One of the only Fromsoft monster I always choose to run from. Also while I agree The hand babies are one of the “Worst” things Fromsoft has ever made, the Jailers are the scariest for me in terms of gameplay. There weird Shuffle waddle and the two step murder grab always make encounters with them very tense.

[@ceasarg.5158]

"Others may consider cute" as a grafted scion is on screen

[@btarczy5067]

There’s the viscerally scary like all the parasite enemies From loves but I have to admit that they lose their effect on me once I fought them a few times. In real life I‘m terrified of big insects but luckily that effect doesn’t translate to video game creatures. Watching a documentary about insects still is much more scary in that regard than even the giant ants in Ainsel River although they do come the closest and I‘d rather not get hit by them. Then there’s the ones that are scary because I never quite learned how to fight them. Damn birds, man. Just hit R1 and pray. Other than that it really depends on how strong my character is compared to everything else, making my low level playthrough the scariest one by default.

[@kylebiggles5973]

i’m hoping Wormfaces make an appearance. Never mind the fact they’re just extremely unsettling to look at and listen to; i find them so difficult to fight when you first get to their area and till this day I find the need to return back to the forest AFTER i explore the rest of Altus Fingercreepers are worthy of the list. The giant ones are my LEAST favorite enemy in the entire game to fight to the point I refuse to even loot in Caria Manor. Just run through and fight Loretta so I can go through Ranni’s quest if i feel up for it

[@alexterieur8813]

Revenant are so much worse for me. Super fast and pummel you to smithereens

[@BillySYT]

My problem with Wormfaces is that yes, they're "scary", but their mechanic (deathblight) is one of my least favourite aspects of Elden Ring, so I only think of rage when I think of those enemies now.

I literally won’t fight the deep accursed in dark souls 3. I absolutely hate it. I’ll cheese the one in the cathedral of the deep, and then completely avoid the one in Anor Londo. I hate hate hate them.

Definitely the enemy that had me traumatized my first playthrough. Nowadays, not so much, but I recall the hair, the legs, and my arachnophobia was like "Get away get away get away"
