9 Trick Video Game Items You Must AVOID

6. Any Loot From These Corpses - Dark Souls 3

Okay this... this might be the creepiest enemy ever put to code.

The sort of hellish nightmare that could only come from a studio trying to put you in a headspace of sheer anxiety and "what could happen next?!" terror, the Sewer Centipedes in Dark Souls 3's Irithyll area are arachnophobia and a fear of insects in general personified.

Again, in truly oh dear god territory, these things lie upside down in bodies of water, surrounded by corpses, looking like regular bodies simply floating there, waiting for a player like yourself to approach and see what goodies might lie within.

Get close though and what emerges is a giant, tarantula-looking face-hugger... thing, that proceeds to fill the screen leaping at you.

Yes, these demonic bone spiders JUMP, and although it's creepy enough looking at them now, for first-timers discovering these while journeying through the game... the reaction was utter white knuckle horror.
