Dark Souls 2: The 10 Most Ridiculous Ways We All Died

8. Mushroom Kingdom

Remember the first time you came across the little mushroom folk scurrying around the woods or at the bottom of the Great Hollow? For me, it made me forget everything I'd learned so far about Dark Souls as these cute little ragamuffins tripped over each other and made strange little noises and didn't seem to pose all that much of a threat. How foolish I was reader! The little mushroom folk are evil, evil things that are there just to lull you into a false sense of security and lead you directly to mama and papa mushroom who are much, much bigger, much, much angrier and do a lot of damage when they punch you and send you flying to your probable death. To make matters worse, their devastating punch attack can break through weaker defense setups like paper, they're not susceptible to back stabs and you may as well kiss your backside goodbye if you manage to engage more than one at a time. Pro tip for you newbies: never, ever, trust anything in Dark Souls. Even cute little mushroom folk are simply out to remove your head from your shoulders, turn it sideways and stick it straight up your backside.
