3. Senpou Temple - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

When you first enter the Senpou Temple section of Sekiro, it feels like a well-needed rest from the poison lakes and burning buildings that you've been murdering your way through. It's a luscious forest, filled mainly with monks who provide challenging - but unsurprising - fights.

Then you reach an area where three monks are praying, and suddenly, huge centipedes burst out of them, and it becomes clear a nice forest was not worth this traumatic trade-off.

Not only are the bugs magnificently creepy, but anyone who tries to fight them before they get the mortal blade will also discover that they are un-killable, making you realise that the bugs are forcibly keeping these frail husk-like humans alive.

And speaking of centipedes, one of the two legitimately disturbing "Long Arm Centipede" bosses in the game also resides in this part of the game - in an area that you can accidentally fall into, just in case you haven't suffered enough at this point.
