Elden Ring players are sick of being slammed to death by human centipedes

What’s the most infuriating enemy in Elden Ring? Possibly the grotesque human centipedes that keep stun-locking players into disgusting cycles of multi-limbed death by leaping into the air and flailing their arms about.

That’s the consensus of a handful of Elden Ring players, at least, who want nothing more than to express their bubbling hatred for the gross creatures. Redditor miztigers96(opens in new tab)shared a clip of the human-centipede-esque monsters in action, and while their claim that the creatures are the worst enemy in the game might be a little dramatic, it’s difficult not to at least sympathize with their struggle.

The enemies are particularly fast and able to launch a flurry of attacks to slam you into the ground while pushing you backward. If you’re fighting in a tight room, that usually means you’re forced into a corner as the camera spins around uncontrollably. To top it off, they also screech, spit poison, and usually engage by teleporting behind your back without any warning. 

You don’t have to look far to find other Elden Ring players jumping on the hate-filled bandwagon, either out of frustration with their attack cycle or horror at their appearance.

“This is my most hated enemy. There is not even a close comparison. I have a much harder time with this thing than most bosses. Hate. Hate. Hate!,” said one, rather emphatic, Redditor(opens in new tab).

“I hate this bloodborne reject more than most bosses,” said another(opens in new tab) – who, incidentally, makes a fair point that the grotesques would look right at home in FromSoftware’s gothic action RPG.

Fortunately, there’s a handy trick to beating them. The giant creepy crawlies are susceptible to holy damage, making throwable Holy Water Pots
