10 Hardest Soulsborne Enemies That AREN'T Bosses

10. Revenants - Elden Ring

The Revenants would earn an entry on this list based simply on how genuinely horrifying their appearance is alone. However, they're also a total nightmare for a variety of other reasons.

Revenants are one of those enemies that really punish certain builds, but can be dealt with much easier by others. If you're a two-handed, aggressive type, you may struggle to deal with the revenants' aggressive lunges and sneaky follow-ups. Try rolling side to side, never backwards. If holy damage and healing is more your bag... well, we can't promise you it will be easy, but you should at least have a less rough go of it at any rate.

Of course, a big part of the problem with these enemies - aside from them combining the most terrifying elements of zombies and spiders into one disgusting freakshow - is their placement. Veterans of the Haligtree may be dealing with trauma from encountering five royal revenants in one go.

Like all enemies, however, there is a strategy for beating them, dependent on your build. In the case of melee types, it can be rolling to the side, learning timing and not to get greedy. For Faith builds, healing spells and holy damage should do the trick.
