MFW

I've defended a lot of Soulsborne bullshit. But I can't defend these fuckers.

These faggots are the worst. First enemy in any game i can remember that i just straight up ran by.

the fuck does it do

Stares at you and kills you with some gaydar meter.
Hence the eye

So a ranged basilisk?

I take it that this is one of those evolutions of those squidhead lantern fucks from Demon's Souls?

Gives you frenzy that gets rid of 80% of your health once it fills up. It can also grab you from a mile away.

Makes your blood boil, literally.
Winter Lanterns can make you die just by looking at you.
They also have a lethal grab attack. But this is also their greatest weakness, as you can parry the fuck out of them and visceral them to death.

well at least it isnt SHOCKWAVE

Hahaha my friend, they're 500 times worse. I kill Basilisk in full force, but these? I avoided these like the fucking plague.

>heh, i kill basilisks all the time no problem..pssh

UGHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

what's great is that even when you perform the visceral attack, you're invincible, so the Frenzy damage is completely negated if you time your attack right.

...

at least it isn't ranged mages shooting at you doing pure damage in a labyrinth of deep trenches that kill you if you don't constantly look down as you fervently try to get closer and kill those magical faggots

Basilisks are piss after you fight them one or two times. Winter Lanterns are just flat out bullshit.

>You can find a hat that blinds your character and wear veils and other clothing items that cover your characters eyes.
>Considering you find one of these blindfold hats near the lanterns figure "Oh this must be the cheese, you're meant to blind yourself to get past them without frenzy."
>Put the hat on and go fight them.
>Frenzy goes up, I get raped from their massive grab range.
>Turns out there is no proper way to fight them, they're just fucking broken.

Defend this Bloodborne cucks.

parry them

who dug up this nasty-ass corpse

Basilisk are incredibly easy after you realize what the fuck they are

I am unfamiliar with Dark Souls and Basilisks, in mythos they are basically giant snakes that can turn people to stone if you look them directly in the eye? Is that what they are in DS?

That's the worst feeling, when you give the game the benefit of the doubt and it just shits in your hand. I don't forgive games for that shit and it usually makes me reconsider why I'm playing.

Basilisks are piss you fucking casual as soon as you realize you just have to keep your distance they're easy as fuck to fight they also become even more of a joke once you get the curse ring which considering Seath is 50 times harder unless you have said ring, the player WILL have that.

No they're like quadruped lizards with fake giant eyes and real giant eyes. They just hop around and spit smoke at people that curses them.
Most players get fucked by them at first but after that they're usually a piece of cake.

>WHAT ARE YOU
>ssssshhhhh
>GO AWAY I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
I don't think there's even a comparison. Basilisks are contained in certain places but I assume these brain faggots arent?

what was this guy's problem?

Frenzy doesn't occur if you look at them, it occurs when they look at you. You sight isn't a factor, theirs are. Hiding behind corners is an effective strategy when leading Lanterns on.

no touch

that's a strange burden of knowledge with an extreme penalty even for dark souls

Certain areas
ie, mensis and nightmare frontier

He was basically the incarnation of a curse against all hunters, which included the Good Hunter.

I think the shadow that forms after you beat the Orphan is the real child of Kos.

I used to hate these until I learned to parry their grab attack. It gives you all of your HP back. Just stay calm and don't fuck it up.

Unless they're in the Old Hunters (Which I still haven't bought yet because I'm lazy) You only run into the Brain-cunts in like two areas in the whole game, a bridge which is in typical Soulsborne fashion is hidden off an elevator and a tiny room across the bridge.

Feel free to correct me Its been a while since I've played it.

Nope, in Dark Souls they're frogs that belch a cursed cloud that will turn you to stone as an instant kill if you stand in it too long. Not as dangerous as they sound. Only the first time, after that you know to just walk to the side and club it to death as it misses.

Then there's no real problem and they're just the developer's idea of killing you personally.

sounds like a mob easily dealt with, but extremely dangerous nonetheless. Is there a way to cure curse? If so then the mob is basically useless.

so the grandson carries the cage,he ever has his cage.and nana's neeeeeeeeeever coming back.

parrying and riposting the grab gives you all your HP back and usually one shots them; if not then finish them off as they get back up.

in the first dark souls it halves your health until you get a special stone or something, i don't remember exactly. but the first time you die it's just complete bullshit and you move on

oh i don't know man

>born in a nightmare
>look like an old man
>actually a failed old god
>mom is dead
>you look just like the dudes who killed her

the fuck do you think

Curse is an instant kill and it remains until you get it removed by a consumable or finding the priest in New Londo.

Humanity I think. Its a curse that persists like a fucking curse should and its fucked up.

>implying Kos is dead

And I bet you think Cthulhu can be killed by a rowboat.

>die once
>figure out frenzy mechanic
>equip anti frenzy item
>kill monster
>use item
Wow, I can't believe it. Literally impossible.

>try n parry
>even get the sound
>grab attack happens anyway
What is this horseshit?

There is but curse persists through death and stacks. You have to go to a different area and pay someone to break the curse or use a purging stone which is bought from someone else in a different area.

How does cthulhu work, anyway? Is he just an angry octopus? Can you appease him with fish?

>When you realize the mob you hate the most, wears the doll's clothes
>MFW

I should be worried...why?

never happened with me, famalam

he works in mysterious ways, user

Cthulhu isn't even the worst of it, compared to some other lovecraft shit, Cthulhu is a nice guy.

If you're careful, you don't have to be worried at all.

wait till you see his brother

I'm assuming they're immortal or whatever, right? How do you even kill them at all? They seem to be malevolent in nature, so being rid of these monsters is a sound idea. Could you magic them away?

kos is dead in the nightmare and the real world

c'thulu got his ass knocked out because the stars weren't right yet

he's a being that only partially exists in our dimension

he's stuck on earth because some unknown astral force is keeping him here, and by that i mean the stars are emitting (it might just be gravity) something that won't let him leave

You don't appease him. We as a species do not even remotely pose any sort of threat to Cthulu, what he wants is Earth which is his right by birthright or something?

The reason he hasn't skull fucked the human race and enslaved the earth is because he was sleeping for a considerably huge time after he lost a war with another outer god and the implication in the story call of cthulu is that the massive earthquake in the story has finally woken him up and he remains trapped in his throne room slowly planning his next move.

He isn't even concerned about humanity at all, we're not even worth the thought process he's more worried about keeping his planet awarded to him under his control from more troublesome aliens and gods.

And as other anons pointed out, in the grand scale Cthulu isn't even that bad of a guy, he doesn't show any active contempt for us because we barely register as ants to him, its the other outer gods you have to worry about, like his Dad or his brother...or his grandparents.

What did he mean by this?

youtube.com/watch?v=1EISe-WdZYE

they're singing the hunter's dream music

well i guess technically that's not his brother, i fucked up. but they're basically immortal and not really anything you can do about them. they're all spawned by one big bastard who lives outside the universe andaccidentally created the Cthulhu universe

>parry winter lanturn
>expect to be invincible through the frenzy proc
>feel like a cool guy
>the parry finishes
>the meter didn't proc
>the lanturns still alive

frick me

someone should have invested in Skill

Is Nightmare Frontier the worst area in the game?

>basically immortal
Not entirely, right? If you ever come across a Lovecraftian horror, it's possible to kill it if you're prepared, then?

>useless side-paths with little to no reward for exploring
>the choice pvp location for the worst players
>gravestones
>easy-to-cheese boss fight
>final reward is 4 chunks and a chalice
>20 scurrying nightmares carrying shards for some reason

yes

They're not immortal, far from it. Who are the alien cunts in Mountains of Madness? The ones who created the blob creatures I've forgotten the name of, the Yith or something?

They're pretty humble boys they started off as boring as humanity and through science and study they managed to become hot shit and were able to mount wars against the gods and stuff.

The point is that the outer gods live for such incalculably huge lengths of time that its seems like eternity for us and we are so fucking insignificant that nothing we could do right now would matter to them anyway.

I love shitposting about the Cthulu universe, I don't get to do it often.

>parry their grab
>frenzy hits while having iframes from the visceral attack

gg ez

immortal couldn't describe a being that has never been alive

you're only able to see/understand a fraction of his entire existence, which no doubt stretches across dimensional spectra we can't even imagine

the motives of the old gods are completely unintelligible to our minds, and some of them you could probably not describe as sentient and belong more to a class of beings that have more in common with dead stars and living planets

>getting rid of these monsters is a sound idea

that's like saying that we should solve entropy

i mean sure, but just how could we hope to solve a fundamental quality of the universe?

some of them are just aliens so yeah, you can kill them

you can't cover up the eyes lining your brain

we're basically about as insignifacant to them as we can get. no one knows their motives but it's not like we could stop them anyways. I don't think they could die but don't quote me on that. Here's the wiki page
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos_deities

Do those count as old gods? i mean like the Great old gods. Like the Yog-Sothoth, he's basically the universe

>how can we solve a fundamental quality of the universe
I dunno, if bastards like the Old Gods exist, then it's not too far-fetched of an idea that there exists ways to kick their asses.

When you get to like the scale of Old gods and past that the outer gods its pretty much as said, Azathoth and Yoggy Bear aren't even considered alive and the analogy of "they're more comprable to stars than they are mortals" is a good one.

Azathoth for example is God-god, the entity that created everything and all time and is basically just an unknowably huge ball of nuclear fusion and abstract emotions who was so unstable they constantly destroyed the universe and created it over and over until its children got sick of it and lulled him to sleep.

huh. That's pretty fucked. I've always had an interest in Lovecraft but only read a few of his stories. What would Hastur count as for instance? Is he an outer god

>nuclear fusion

small nitpick, but the "nuclear" in "seething, nuclear chaos" represents the centrality of azathoth and not fusion, which i don't even know if lovecraft was aware of

depends on who you ask

hastur is originally a shepherd's god
lovecraft mentions his name a few times
august derleth (lovecraft's friend and publisher) says he's cthulhu's brother

All i really know is from a few stories and skimming the wiki. You have a site where i can read some of his work?

>malevolent
They just don't care and that should be the scariest thing to you

...

wo lo loooo~

>drawing perfect portraits is easy
>get pencil
>get paper
>draw perfect portrait
I don't understand how people can be impressed by this.

>and a chalice
Truly the greatest sin of that entire fucking area
God the Chalice dungeons were such wasted potential

Them looking at you makes you go crazy, your line of sight doesn't matter.

>the Hunter is some literal who that fucking slaughters a bunch of the all powerful reality warping eldritch ayylmaos by eviscerating their assholes and tearing them up with an oversized pizza cutter while wolfing down beast shit, bloody semen, and some umbilical cords

Blood Echoes are a powerful drug

Curse is fucking deadly in DS1, especially in earlier versions. In DS2 it's a joke, literally just removes 5% of your max HP and doesn't even instakill. In DS3 it just kills you without any other effects, so it's ehh.

Implying the singing doesnt do you in
