10 Video Game Levels You KNEW Were Going To End Terribly

3. Releasing Dung Eater - Elden Ring (2022)

When players encounter Dung Eater in the Roundtable Hold, there are a handful of red flags that warn players that only horrible things can come from engaging with them.

Not only is his name and armour appropriately repulsive, but he appears as a red phantom, a colour associated with hostile invaders. Moreover, his frequent references to spreading disease and defiling corpses should tell players that they should stay clear of this character.

If players go against their better judgement and travel to his cell in the Subterranean Shunting-Grounds, where he'll continue to talk about murdering and defiling the living, they’ll have the option to free him.

Although completionists will be tempted to release him to finish each of this game's side quests, nothing good comes from this.

Alongside killing Black Boggart, he'll invade players after leaving a threatening message. Continue to follow his questline by feeding him five Seedbed Cures and players will be awarded with his armour and the Mending Rune Of The Fell Curse for their efforts, the latter of which unlocks what is objectively the worst ending for the game.

With so many warnings that Dung Eater shouldn’t be trusted, players who get this ending only have themselves to blame.
