10 Times Dark Souls Games BRUTALLY Tricked You

10. Sen's Fortress Lift Trap - Dark Souls

Sen's Fortress in Dark Souls is this game's equivalent of a funhouse., except the surprises players will find inside are anything but fun.

Located across a bridge near friendly blacksmith Andre in the Undead Parish and accessible only after ringing two bells, this place is comprised almost exclusively of traps.

There are pendulums swinging over narrow walkways, pressure plates that shoot arrows, a boulder rolling down the main staircase, and pitfalls. Sen's Fortress is even the first place where players encounter a mimic. But none of these are as deviously cruel as one lift found next to where players meet the mimic.

In Dark Souls, the discovery of a lift means potentially finding a path forward or a vital shortcut. However, noticing this particular lift is splattered in gore should warn players that there's some foul play going on here.

While this lift will take players to the floor above, loitering on the platform for a second too long will spell a quick death. Moments after arriving at the next floor, giving players only a brief window to disembark, the lift will swiftly transport the unfortunate rider straight into an awaiting and unavoidable spike trap.
