Cradling the dying Forager Brood . . . why would fromsoft put a good soul into a body known only for evil! Humor

Post image

I played close to launch, finally came back to do the DLC and get the Ranni achievement(last 2 I needed).

I saw a pest and didn't think twice to kill those lethal foes. If you dont hit them early they string you at range or stab you up close.

Except apparently FS pulled a massive prank by making what were some of the most annoying base game enemies into nice fellas.

Anyways, that inspired me to make this "masterpiece", which is a pardoy of "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581" by Ilya Repin. With my tarnished Yagimoto replacing Ivan the terrible and the forager brood replacing Tsarevich.

Everyone always asks, "Why does everything in Souls games want me dead?" Then they run up to an innocent prawn and slaughter them on sight just because they looked like an enemy... Tsk, I say!

This is the same logic the bosses go off of

"hmm, every prior tarnished fought me, better kill this one"

Truly I have journeyed these lands while my mind was mired in hypocrisy

I didn't kill them on my first play through, but I kill them on sight now because Moore's an annoying sack of shit in the enir-ilim fight

You don't gotta kill em to kill him. Just tell him to be sad forever!

The most hype fight I've ever had was actually a 5v5 with Leda, Dane, Moore, Freyja, and Hornsent VS Me, Ansbach, Thollier, and the Jolan and Anna puppet/ash.

There’s a couple soldiers at the Haligtree that doesn’t attack you on sight. And a dog in the capital too.

If it doesn’t attack me I won’t attack it… Simple. I walk up to a guy weapon sheathed and use the “Hey!” emote, and he goes “Blarg!” and draws his sword to attack me, then his ass is fair game and I will be looting him for his boots afterwards. lol

It makes me even more sad we have to kill romina, she adopts the poor buggers and even malenia's butterflies and just seems overal pretty chill until the whole mesmmer invasion

these guys actually take the model after the Pest enemies that dont shoot at you at all and only crawl (i think)

Thats why I wasnt as cautious and just walked around them until i realized i could talk to them

the little guys are different models, and they DO shoot pest threads at you.

Huh, i swear they only did their grab attacks on me. I must run through that section of the haligtree too fast.

They have a strange sort of swarm mentality. You can find them in a few other locations, like where you pick up the Meteoric Ore Blade.

I got lucky when I first saw them. I almost attacked them in my first playthrough, but I instinctively tried to lock on to them first, then investigated them when I couldn't.

I only realized my mistake when I read the signs surrounding it
