10 Merciless One-Hit-Kill Enemies In Video Games
6. Winter Lantern - Bloodborne
One of Bloodborne's most innovative concepts is Insight, which the player accrues across their journey through Yharnam by experiencing glimpses of the Eldritch Truth. Too little, and the secrets of the Great Ones won't be revealed to you. Too much, and you'll be consumed by madness.
This is known in-game as the Frenzy status ailment. The more Insight you have, the quicker this metre will fill, and the sooner the Frenzy status will rob you of all but a fraction of your health.
Regardless of how enlightened you are, however, the Winter Lanterns will be your worst enemy.
These inhabitants of the Nightmare resemble humans with huge, multi-eyed brain things in place of their heads. As soon as you see one, no matter how far away, your Frenzy metre will begin to build up.
Get closer, and your health will be sapped along with the impending madness.
Scarf down some Sedatives and/or Blood Vials, and you may just live to tell the tale. But if the thing grabs you, it's all over.
A combination of the damage from the grab attack, the health sapping, and the incoming Frenzy damage, and there's no way you're getting out of there alive. When it comes to the Winter Lanterns, either run away, or end them as fast as you can.
