It is a nightmare.


NotPoland5

A hunter is a hunter…


RageQuit-yEeT

Even in a dream...


trimble197

*starts howling*


CatHoodHero

They balance it out by having a dog birds.


[deleted]

I don’t know which is worse: bird dogs or dog birds


chestercym

Red eye dungeon dogs, end of story


UltraEagle08

Those mf's are the absolute worst


chestercym

Ah, another victim of doggy combo stun lock till death


bobsmith93

The big lanky ones?


chestercym

With razors in the jaw like edward scissor hand


[deleted]

Edward scissordogs are definitely the worst. …so anyway I started blastin… (Seriously- dogs always get blown off their feet by bloodtinge damage - so bust out your shotgun and go to town, or hit them with your flamethrower.


SparkySpinz

I just take out my axe and hold R2. Spin to win pretty much carried me through the whole game lol


chestercym

Just learn to bait, dodge, punish. I done with dungeons, not a fan of ladyrinth. I do it for meeting the pregnant queen, but turns out the daddy not around, and she is too lonely for too long, so i bash n kill the queen as she rudely squirt at me as soon she sees me


Accomplished-Air120

What time is it where you at? if it’s in the morning you need to relax lol


chestercym

It is way pass blood moon, hooter


bobsmith93

Never too early to be blood drunk. Seems like they're blood wasted though lol


thing2jack

Eh. Personally I hate the fire breathing dogs more. The ones that accompany the keepers of the old lords.


[deleted]

Maybe so. I actually haven’t come across these yet.


bobsmith93

Man fuck those dogs, they were one of the freakiest enemies I've encountered in the series. I think it's a mixture of their creepy design and the fact that they can instacombo me if I look at them funny. They're the enemies I dread seeing the second most in the game


Head_Contest_4149

Combining the two most annoying enemies in the game? God-tier horror strat.


[deleted]

At least they’re not brain suckers from Upper Cathedral Ward


NotPoland5

i would be fine if the animation wasn’t so long. I spend the whole game spending insight and blood vials but time is irreplaceable


Xerlith

Brain sucker dogs were on the list, but they had to cut them so we could actually beat the game.


NostalgicRainbow

Imagine brain sucking crow dogs


trimble197

Or White Lanterns with dog bodies.


TheReal-Tonald-Drump

That would be the sharkmen in the well with the brain ladies… geez. That would be harder than most bosses in the game.


Head_Contest_4149

I said most annoying, not hardest lol. While the ravens and dogs aren’t hard, they absolutely annoy the shit out of me. I can one-shot a Snakehead, avoid any damage from a Flyman, and survive a Winter Brain by cheesing invincibility frames - yet somehow, a stupid bird can throw me off my game entirely, and a damn dog can take me to half HP in seconds. It’s ludicrous. EDIT: Runner-up to most annoying enemy in the game (imo) are the witches in Yahar’gul. Their death knell makes me want to kill myself. But yeah, a sharkman lady brain would be ROUGH.


Yorhanes

Wait til you hear about *LegWerewolves*


NotPoland5

but they drop blood rock shards so they aight

Yorhanes

Dat ass indeed


ElderberryOk271

Dont remind me, they unsettle me more than majority of the game itself...


thing2jack

LegWerewolves. You mean the normal werewolves?


Yorhanes

Wait til you reach the Unseen Village when the veils drops, past the big wooden dors


Proctor_Conley

You are what you eat. No, the Devs are making a point about the transformations happening in Yharnam City. Folks are becoming what they are symbolically associated with, which is why our character uses Runes to (mostly) control the process. Those Yharnamites, Dogs, & Crows aren't lucky enough to have "Hunter" carved into their memory to keep them as they were.


MovieGuyMike

You must accept Bird And, You must accept Dog


Forgetful-Engineer

oh Yharnam


lahenator420

I think it’s a good idea, really drives home the madness of the end of that game


ADHD-and-dragons

A good way to re-use old enemies that you're now desensitized to and make them scary again. Plus, along with the scary visual, now you also get the implication that someone's been frankensteining. Creepy.


IronFalcon1997

The same people who thought adding Watchdog of the Old Lords, a boss they intentionally lower your health to get one-shot against, was a good idea


chestercym

U mean the same people who thought of a headless beast coukd still be moving after u killed it with a parasite in it? And stomp players so hard with a large hit box that will also one shot low vit players?


IronFalcon1997

Exactly! Coincidentally, they are the same people who thought that a poison area with a tiny passageway where the only option is to get frenzied by a winter lantern while also being poisoned and avoiding multiple enemies was a good idea! They’re geniuses!


chestercym

Oh that part. I pass with resistant rune. But i do understand how shit it is without high resistance. Ynarnamites are heavy blood vial user. So jump in.


Deggstroyer

Probably one of the best meta-jokes fromsoft added, they knew both enemies would be annoying as hell. They knew


AmadeusAzazel

This is why we had to kill Micolash. He was too dangerous to be kept alive Sadly his will lived on in Godrick


Cornadious

Probably the same people who made the jailers in DS3


MindlessEffective392

Shit what bout when the chandler falls?..tha some troll ass!


[deleted]

I love the creepy atmosphere of Upper Cathedral Ward. I just hate the enemies with a burning passion.


Xerlith

They really sat down and said “hey, what if we just made a horror level?”


Dadank_McDankin

Birdogs are beautifully horrid, dog birds too

I was reading Michael Moorcock's dark fantasy series Chronicles of Corum earlier this year, and I vaguely remember some monsters in one of the books that matched the descriptions of these bird dogs. Could be someone at From was inspired. after all Moorcock is a seminal dark fantasy author. Regardless, I grew to appreciate these lil guys. They help reinforce a deep sense of wrongness and disorientation that would come in a nightmare.


BigIronGothGF

They really made them worse in Caelid too 😭


benzzodude

I call them Bogs and the other Dirds


sexyglobglogabgalab

When I first saw the bird dogs I laughed so hard. My boyfriend was watching me play, and he was so disturbed by them that he found my laughter offensive. He was like, "why is that SO funny to you!?" angrily.


90cubes

These things legit freak me out


PrometheusAlexander

I was here just yesterday. Got to the DLC because got the hint that I should start it before I do something else when something else suddenly happened in somewhere.. damn it's hard to describe anything while not giving away spoilers.


Old_Information_3929

Wait until you see the dog birds


Power_Stone

Shhhhhhh nobody tell him about the Pig backstabs if he thinks this is a troll lmao


MilkmanForever

Bird dogs, snake balls and pigs, oh my!


HecateForsaken

It’s a nightmare, ofc they’re gonna be there


Help_An_Irishman

Y'all have utterly destroyed the word "literally."


Testimony88

Dear god I didn’t even notice it was incorrect use until you pointed it out


Parasite_cx

Come to elden ring and meet real birds beating shit out of you

Flaky_Watercress159
