These Video Game Enemies SUCK!

3. Blowdart Sniper - Dark Souls

These Enemies Suck
From Software

When it comes to the Dark Souls franchises, nearly every enemy that you can think of seems to have graduated from the school of absolute cocks, because pretty much all of them have an infuriating gimmick or two up their sleeves.

My blood begins to bubble so much that it risks becoming fizzy at the thought of the Basilisks that can turn you to stone, or the near 360-degree tracking of the Turtle Knights in Dark Souls 2, however, there is one enemy that I know for a certifiable fact that will be off everyone's Christmas card list, and that’s the Blowdart Sniper that can be found in the original games Blighttown.

Now as we all know this utter s**t-tip of a section is nefarious for its own reasons, namely relentlessly spawning bugs, huge amounts of poison inflicting enemies and terrain, and of course, the rickety bridge sections that make a joke out of Dark Souls run and jump mechanics, but even above all of these stands the Blowdart Sniper as the King of the Crap, as he and his little mates just love hitting you from afar with poison projectiles and hiding just out of reach meaning you’ll have to take the long way round to knock that pudding bowl hat off their heads.

I cannot count the number of times that I died to these scrawny pricks, and while curing your status afflictions is as simple as eating the right moss, you’ll be running out of stock in short order if you hang around long enough.

Accurate, deadly, and not even satisfying to fight, this Sniper is an enemy that both sucks and blows with all of its being. And he’s an even bigger cock should you be playing on the slideshow Blighttown that was the early days Dark Souls experience.
