10 Unfair Dark Souls Enemies

2. The Rampart Hedgehog And Reindeer Combo - Dark Souls 2

Frozen Elyum Loyce was the main location in the Crown of the Ivory King DLC for Dark Souls 2 and housed two of the cheapest and most unfair enemies in the game. The “Rampart Hedgehog” to give it its real name had all the issues of the bonewheel skeletons had, and then some more.

Did they do insanely high damage if you were caught in their rolling attack? Check. Were they usually found in groups? Yup. Could you be damaged just by standing near them? Yeah, that too.

The Frozen Reindeer were found in the Frigid Outskirts on the path to Lud and Zallen. A blizzard blows across this level, leaving you small windows where you can see your destination in between snow blindness. These would appear out of the whiteness and trample you for a big chunk of your health.

Best of all, the game just spawned them near you at certain points, no matter which route you took.

The area became hated for this run to a boss and got a pretty vulgar nickname that I won’t say here. They were the definition of unfair.

Best advice is to summon NPC phantoms, sprint to the gate and hope they pull aggro.
