Well this post is a landmark of sorts because it is the 600th post on my blog!
So to celebrate it (kind of!) I figured its time for another top 10 list post, which I will split into a two-parter and I thought I would look at my pick for the most annoying enemies in the action role play game, Bloodborne.
Bloodborne is a great game for sure but like the Souls games it has its own share of annoying enemies, so I figured like I did with the original Dark Souls look at these pesky enemies and what makes them so irritating.
So with that said, let's gear up and re-join the hunt and take a look at these annoying pain in the ass enemies...
10. Hemwick Grave Women
So, to start the list are these pretty annoying women that appear at Hemwick Charnel Lane and later they appear in the Yar Har Gul village (or is it Yar har har??). They are pretty annoying simply because they can attack in groups and they also make a lot of screeching noises as they do it. They also have a bizarre way of dancing around in a circle like some sort of weird pagans waving their torches. Its like they belong more in the cast of the Wicker Man than here in Bloodborne!
Difficulty wise they aren't too bad to deal with unless you really get overwhelmed by them because they are fairly weak but you still have to watch out for their fire damage as they try to burn you wish firebombs, torches and of course some weird flaming tipped plow as well as big hammers! I actually think I have more issues with the noise they make and that stupid dancing they do than anything else!
So, yep the Hemwick grave women definitely deserve their place here on the list at No.10 as they are pretty irritating for sure in Bloodborne.
9. Hunting dogs
Next up is the dogs...yep those pesky, bloody dogs in Bloodborne are a HUGE pain in the ass, in fact I should probably think about putting them even higher up in the list if I struggle to find anyone worthy of being on the list later on (but I won't!).
As for why the dogs are so annoying??? Well, its simply because they are so fast and aggressive and early on they aren't quite so annoying but its when you get to Y'ar har gul village that's when the pain in the ass that they are becomes pretty overwhelming pretty quickly as you try and run away from them and they keep jumping at you! In fact From Software for some reason decided to make the dogs even more annoying Dark Souls III based on these ones as they suddenly had almost a teleporting ability to jump on you too! However its Bloodborne that started this pain in the assery by making the dogs more aggressive than they were before in the previous Souls games.
So, for that reason alone dogs definitely deserve their place on the list at No.9.
8. Loran Silverbeast
At No.8 is this irritating beastly beggar that can be found in Nightmare Frontier and Nightmare of Mensis areas of the game and its a pretty big aggressive and above all really creepy looking beast that can prove to be a real nuisance.
And what makes the Loran Silverbeasts so annoying is that they have a variety of attacks such as using a torch to breath out a big wave of flames at you as well as a bolt charged attack that they generate from their bodies and both of these attacks do a lot of damage. However they are equally annoying when they try and attack you as they crawl on all fours and slash at you with their extended sharp claws and they are pretty quick so they are difficult to get away from. So, in short if you are cornered by more than one of these guys, you are in for a bad time.
The best way however to deal with these guys is of course to use visceral attacks and they are usually found sitting down with their backs to you, which can allow you to perform a backstab parry followed by a visceral, which the silverbeasts are pretty vulnerable to.
So, the Loran Silverbeasts definitely deserve their place on the list with their fast claw attacks and their fire and bolt attacks that deal out a lot of damage it makes them a big pain in the you know what.
7. Garden of Eyes
So, at No.7 are these guys...the Garden of Eyes, who are pretty unpleasant looking it has to be said and not surprisingly also unpleasant in nature too as they are essentially large insectoid human creatures with multiple eyes.
The Garden of Eyes I felt were worth adding to the list simply because they are creepy and annoying all at once and this is because they move pretty fast and can perform a fast combo attack on you that does a fair bit of damage but what's more annoying is that they can also perform a grab attack which does very little physical damage but does build up frenzy, which can lead to you getting killed if you're health is low. The best way to deal with them I found is to kill them with bolt as they seem pretty weak to it but they aren't the strongest enemies either so if you just combo them then they should go down.
Also its worth noting that even though these guys are pretty annoying they are at least only found in one area of the game and that is Byrgenwerth, so at least they don't pop up everywhere.
So, the Garden of Eyes for sure deserves a spot on here on the list as they are both creepy and annoying and their fast attacks and VERY annoying frenzy BS makes them more than worth being on here.
6. Giant Lost Child
So to round off the first part of the list are these guys...Giant Lost Childs...and boy they can f*** right off cos THESE guys are a REAL pain in the ass for sure! So, what are these guys??? Basically they are big yeti like creatures that inhabit primarily the Nightmare Fronter and Nightmare of Mensis areas of the main game.
So, why are they so annoying? Put simply because they throw GIANT boulders at you that can one-shot you from a distance and that is enough for them alone to be put on the list! This is especially annoying in the Nightmare Frontier area because the place it littered with little rocks that you keep blocking your way, so its dead easy to get stuck on them and before you know...bang you will be killed by a giant boulder if you do look out for it! They have their own combo attacks, which are also pretty damaging but for me its all about those bloody annoying boulder attacks and how they can wipe you out with ease and you can also even get hit by the debris of the boulders as well, which is probably even more annoying!
So, to deal with these guys you really need to watch your terrain and all around to make sure they are chucking a giant boulder at you from a distance and basically also use visceral backstab attacks where ever possible too. Up close they are less of a problem but you also have to remember in the Nightmare Frontier for sure you can still get hit by other giants from the other side!
And with that all said, there is no doubt that the Giant Lost Childs aka yetis without a doubt deserve a place on the list because their boulder attacks are deeply annoying enough on their own and they merit their place on the list at No.6.
OK, so that's it for Part 1 and I will be back soon with Part 2.
Till then its bye for now!
