10 Frustrating Dark Souls Enemies DESIGNED To Piss You Off

10. Giant Mosquitos (Dark Souls)

Often considered the point in the original Dark Souls that tends to make or break the player, Blighttown is a dank, hellish pit that pushes first time players to their limits.

After fighting your way downwards through hordes of enemies you find yourself in a toxic swamp with very little idea of where to go next. You begin to scan the landscape and on the horizon see two gigantic mosquitoes coming at you.

No biggie, a simple swing of your sword or a well-placed arrow and they'll be history. No problem at all.

Then more come; and then more after that.

They never seem to stop coming, constantly there every time you turn around or think you've found the correct way to go, making long stretches of exploration feel extra strenuous. They pose little threat in terms of damage, but can poison you which is not at all ideal given you're already surrounded by a poisonous lake.

They're not a hard enemy to defeat by any stretch, nor are they worth much in terms of souls; but their persistence and likelihood to harass you over and over again makes them the bitter icing on the sponge-cake of frustration that is Blighttown.
