I didn't think it was that bad, but then again I don't have a phobia.

There's the sound of a lot of feet walking, and the walls all wiggle like they're made of bugs, but other than that I don't really think there's much of note.

It did mildly psych me out before I figured out what the sound was. But once I saw the actual enemies it was like "oh, so that's what it was."

Now, there is one exception to this rule. In the bottom left corner of the area, there's an NPC that is... well... pretty effed up. But as far as I could tell, there was no real reason to engage with it.

uhh do you mean the Distant Village? i accidentally spoiled myself about what happens there (i watched a video on checkpoints)

oh and midwife, she almost gave me a heart attack stay away from her she's the npc in the wall

not amazing, but not too terrible. i'm also very terrified of bugs/spiders, and the worst part is probably the audio, so maybe turn it down a bit? heads up that enemies will constantly spawn in deepnest so you can't really clear rooms :/

If you're arachnophobic, be cautious in regards to Deepnest
The background "music" is composed of constant chittering
Spikes are literally made of tons of spiky creatures together and also make chittering noises
Whenever you kill a normal husk enemy, you either want to leave immediately or hang around for a few seconds in case it turns into a Corpse Creeper, which is the ickiest enemy to me
Also in the lower middle part of Deepnest (left from a hot spring) there is a boss that is... atmospheric to say the least. It's optional, though. Do not trust your doppelganger.
Really Deepnest is designed to be scary, and arachnophobia will only make it more terrifying. You need to go through it to beat the game anyways, but maybe don't play at at night.

oh yeah, about the boss, i heard about Nosk , i will fight them because on the wiki (again, dont judge me) it says that the boss drops a charm notch

[breadboy3000]

wait no, i was wrong, it drops a piece of Pale Ore

[Rednax910]

pale ore is more important
but yea we can stop spoilering their name now
also you probably already know but do not trust the bench in Distant Village

[breadboy3000]

yes, yes, but i am positive its mandatory to beat the game

[breadboy3000]

since the area it drops you into is called Beast's Den then considering that the other Dreamers' areas are called just like the names on the grave, its gonna be the place where Herrah is

[Rednax910]

It is indeed mandatory
but it's good to know what you're getting into
oh btw for Nosk there's a semi-cheese strategy to kill him if you don't know:
If you walk into the sides of the slightly raised centre of the arena, Nosks's charge will never hit you, the infection blobs rarely will, and the ceiling ones always will so move when Nosk jumps into the ceiling
