Depraved Perfumer | Elden Ring Wiki

I like them purely because 'Depraved Perfumer' has got to be one of the funniest names in the business.

annoying pricks

Remember lads, levelling vigor will save your life, tank the fire, kill the perfumer.

Animation cancel? These guys can cancel out of their stun, spray a fireblast on your face while simultaneously backstepping 3 times generating space you cant even cover pre-sprinting while drinking from their caprisun flask all at once. I've witnessed 8 side and back jumps in a row once. My guy just refused to get hit.

Submit

This guy gave my slow unga bunga ass such a beating in my first playthru that I skipped shaded castle completely lol

Submit

They got that drip for sure

Submit

honestly these guys are pretty cool

Submit

Fake firebenders that are actually stronger than real firebenders

Submit

Stupidest ****ing enemy in the world

Submit

attack attack attack attack attack backstep heal attack attack...

I wish perfume items were this effective when players used them

Submit

I remember when playing game at launch the one in Albinaurics Village was playing on a flute. I even remember leaving a message about "why do we have to kill him" or something like that. Now I've been replaying it recently and he just stands there... Any idea why it was changed?

Submit

After farming for the armor set i can confirm that farming sucks. And to the people struggling, try jumping over the horizontal perfumes, and run sideways for the long-range one.

Submit

Storm Blade ash of war makes quick work of these guys

Submit

Fromsoft has a difficult enemy in their game and people are acting like this is somehow news lmao
The game gives you a number of tools to deal with enemies like these - throwing knives, pots, using your own perfumes, ranged weapons, spears, ashes of war...

If the approach you're using doesn't work, try a different approach. Spamming L1 with your dual katanas isn't going to work in every situation.

Submit

Who did fromsoft think this enemy would enjoyable for?

"Yeah this enemy spams magic and is constantly backing away while being able heal freely, put that in the game"

Submit

Why doesn't bro at the village play his flute anymore? :(

Submit

I don't understand why anyone complains about regular enemies in this game, but these guys specifically are all optional, and most of them are pretty out of the way. If it's the gear you want, the one at the Albinauric Village is easily backstabbable and close to a grace. If it's the perfuming supplies, the regular perfumers drop it too and are much less aggressive.
These guys are not deserving of your ire, just leave them to their depravity.

Submit

They're really not that bad. The amount of weeping and bemoaning in these comments is just tragic. You can dodge roll the perfume if timed right and they can easily be knocked down or quickstepped - hell, you'll find there are MANY effective strategies, once you put the tissues away.
As for their healing, either use an item/skill that prevents heals or anticipate & interrupt their animation.
Good grief.

if you're struggling with the two guarding the smithing stone 5 in shaded castle, lure them down the stairs into the swamp and they'll eventually poison themselves by wandering round on it

Submit

These guys got the hardest moveset out of any enemy in the game. Good thing they don't have a whole lot of HP and are weak to jump attacks.

Submit

The Flame of the Redmanes ash of war works really well against these enemies if you're quick enough to use it. Usually just one or 2 is enough to stagger and get a critical hit in.

Submit

How are you supposed to fight these guys? They just spam perfume all day. They literally have 2 moves- a short dagger combo, and the perfume toss. It’s perfume 9/10 times and they just spam it.

Submit

Remember you can jump

Submit

Honestly. Yeah they are really cool enemies objectively. Perfume attacks, agile and unique. Somehow From made them so annoying and cheesy that it just ruins whatever enjoyment you might get fighting them. Especially at the shaded castle. Never again will I go for that smithing stone 5.

Submit

I really like how their attacks look

Submit

These guys have way more poise than they have any right to.

Submit

I'm glad these guys are only in part of the game. I made sure after my first visit to shaded castle that that would be my only time going to shaded castle. I literally back tracked through all the locations on the map to make sure I didn't miss anything for NG+ but I didn't even think of touching ShadedCastle because of these guys.

Submit

Homie got high on his own supply

Submit

I knew I was right about these guys being a major pain for melee. No wonder the game gives us so many range options for melee player. I main dual daggers and bows, so I breezed through these guys easily, but even then I got a full dust to the face at least twice. Melee will probably have to make then flinch somehow (a few ashes of war coming to mind), then close in and burst them down.

Submit

You can easily deflect his atack with Storm Wall Ash of War...

Submit

For anyone having problems farming this mob or any other diffcult mobs like the cleanrot knights, just spam Fallingstar Beast's Gravity Bolt from a distance.

Submit

Sekiro enemy in a Dark Souls game.
Turbo Cancer that respawns. Worse than Boreal Knights IMO

Submit

Miyazaki, try again. This complete trash tier garbage enemy isn't it. Love how much From sincerly hates melee in this game

Submit

Albinauric Pots will stop them from healing, useful if you're unable to burst them down

Submit

Sooo they don’t drop the dagger they’re carrying

Submit

Putting these guys on my list of most hated enemies. High damage powder that they can spam over and over with little opening to strike. get too close to them? they super backstep and spams more. has poise while throwing perfume. and perfume goes through shields. hate these guys almost as much as the iron virgins.

Submit

This mob BLOWS hard, who designed this crackhead POS enemy…

Submit

I love all the areas in Elden Ring except for one: Shaded f ing Castle. Poison swamp, annoying perfumers, royal revenants make my blood boil and the area looks average at best. Sadly its going to be the only view for the next few hours of farming perfumer's set -.-

Submit

Ive played a LOT of dark souls in my day, these guys are literally the first time ive ever actually had to set the controller down and physically step away from the game due to how bad a time I was having

Submit

just like the leyndell perfumers, these enemies appear to use an erdsteel dagger.

Submit

POV: You're about to pick up a tonne of Miranda Power + Atlus Blooms

Submit

That description is by far the fanciest way to call someone a drug addict.

Submit

How do you fight these guys properly? Stay back and they just spam high dmg attacks, it doesn't seem like you can roll through the attacks to close distance because you will take damage, then they dodge backwards so they can spam high dmg attacks again. If you do get one low but can't finish them off, they just heal back up.

Submit

Farmed these guys for armor... good god this is the most annoying enemy to farm. I would literally rather farm crucible knights. No openings, endless high damage perfume spam, backwards dodges 30 feet and heals like you're playing against a bloodhound step user... Thanks From

Submit

What weapon and shield do they use and is it possible to get

Submit

Has anyone gotten an armament drop from it?

Submit

These guys are bugged, sometimes they deal a incredible small amount of damage, and sometimes they one shot me at 2000hp

Submit

Fighting this guy feels like having a raging spiky boner up your nose
