Your most hated enemy?
Which kind of mob / enemy do you hate the most in the game? :)

What kind of beast makes you cringe so hard when you have to move trough an area containing the horrific beast?

My worst enemy is the Primal asspids. (Missspelling intended) The flying enemy in the kingdom edge.
They aren't the toughest enemies, they aren't the scariest enemies... but they are the most annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I have met. Their tripple shots are really hard for me to avoid! And they fly after you! I HATE THEM SO BADLY!

Hm, good idea! I figured out some other way, if they don't burrow after you reach them, they're fake.
They also do not make any sounds, when released.

Most annoying - common enemy in Deepnest. Really annoying, when this ♥♥♥♥ appears right on your character.
Most hated - giant fleas.

Most annoying: Primal Aspid for the already stated reasons.
Most Hated: The Giant Guard mofos, who hit for heavy damage and are hard to reliably damage earlier on.

for me, the monster that covered with big white mask , you cant slash through it unless it reveals its true face and comes with 3-4 slashs straight to you.....dont remember the name, but looks like string doll in "Naruto"
Ah yes, those... The Worshipers of the beast. (don't remember their names)

It don't help either that they also do heavy damage (Aka, 2 masks)

Also hated those maggots in the sewers, mostly because of the noises they made, ha ha
Yeah, they were annoying too, the diffrence (for me at the least) was that they were ONLY in the royal waterways, nowhere else and they weren't that hard to avoid or dodge, aswell as they were rather easy to predict :)

Apart from primal aspids, the traitor flying mantis that throw scythes at you. The room where you get locked in with two of them feels like a boss fight...
I rather find the walking Traitor mantises to be worse. They have more health and have less "oppertunities" for attacks. (since the flying ones, if you dodge their scythes, are defencless untill they can cast again) :)

It's the... what's its name, again...
That tiny 'lil bugs that covered itself with huge bushes. That thing jumpscares me at my first encounter with them, and my few next encounters.
It's like... I expected them to be there already. But still, I keep getting the jumpscare -_-
Yeah they still get me
I hate the enemy in the deepnest that does double damage and when you hit it's face it doesn't do damage and it exposes blades and slashes at you. Haven't been able to kill without taking damage

Yeah, the Worshippers (Whatever they are called) :). They require some nice reflexes to have time to attack and then dash backwards to avoid the swipes. Double damage is never fun. :/

I haven't really had any problem with those myself. I mean yeah the first few times was it a bit hard to dodge them, but by now have I learned the timing and can just walk calmly and as they come charging I can "dispatch" their bush cover without stopping :)

The silverfish things? :) that dig up from the ground? Yeah, I hate them too. They aren't "common" enough for me to make them the worst but they are awefull.

and the giant fleas? ehm, can't pick out which you mean.

Heh, yeah the Primal Asspids are a pain in the ass.

and, I assume you mean the ones in the City of tears, the ones with the shields. Yeah, they are tricky. IN my personal oppinon wouldn't I say they are the worst however, as you can basicly jump over them (and bounce on their shield with your nail) and ignore them since they don't follow you.

The ones in Deepnest, Stalker Devouts they're called I think (or Stalking). They seemed hard at first but you just gotta figure out that hitting them first won't let you counterattack. Gotta stand in front of them till they go for it then dodge and hit them. Rinse repeat.

Heavy Guards are only safe to attack if they swang at you twice, if it was only once, they could follow up with another.

Primal aspids irritate me, but just from sheer annoyance factor I hate the flying knights that always try to be out of range. Not the most dangerous but the most annoying.

Also the massive sword and shield bugs. Not too dangerous but they block a lot, do two points of damage, and are not worth the time. The easiest way for me to kill 'em is jump, dash, strike down, get blocked, strike down again, then dash away. Repeat.

For most dangerous I really hate the knights that teleport and shoot magic in the coliseum.

The heavy guards are really an annoyance, however quite easy to ignore if you need to pass trough an area. :) Just jump and bounce on their shield then dash and then move on.

the stalkers are in my honest oppinon more annoying by comparison since they often inhabit areas where you can't get around them, (unless you have the shadow dash) and have to fight the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, which often require ALOT of timing and reflexes.

And regarding those "soul knights" (that is what I call them anyway).

Yeah, they are an annoynace, you need to constantly move and dodge, striking when you get the time but always being aware of the soul blasts.

The best way is simply to just clear out any other ennemy in the room first (if there is one) and then prepare to be moving constantly, once again shadow dash there is really usefull.

Primal asspids are the worst. :hollowknight:

The adorable little screaming bats that hang off the ceiling and then hurl themselves at you are also a pain in the asspid -- they stop being a threat once you memorize their locations or learn to listen VERY carefully in certain areas, but they're still a PAIN.

The mushrooms that send out the drifting explosives are also irritating, but they're rare enough that they're only really a problem if I'm out of SOUL when I get near them. :zote:

Heh yeah, the bomb shrooms are a real pain, they are rare but they indeed can make it really stressfull yo move trough an area.

The bats however (in my oppinon) is much simpler to avoid, since they give a clear shriek before diving towards you and their movement is so limited that you can avoid them by simply just jumping straight up
