Revenant | Elden Ring Wiki

Fighting these ****ers 1on1 feels like you're a geriatric trying to go up against a bloodborne boss on crack.

Submit

Beat Godrick just to get completely destroyed by this guy

Submit

Is this enemy grafted?

Submit

Trash enemy with poor mechanics. The developers gave players a reason to cheat when the game cheats. Now it makes sense why hacks are used. The bullsh*t in this game is real..

Submit

Yeah, 5 revenants in Brace of the Haligtree. Little overkill to me

Submit

I'll never forget the first Time i was making my way through Elphael.
After careful exploring, i arrived in the alcove in front of the bridge where they snipe you from the right, while a Putrid Avatar and 2 strong knights with buffs are ready to bully you.
After a couple of unsuccesful attemps to get there from the front, i saw a stair in front of me, but It required to jump down while sticking to the wall, in order to avoid death from fall damage.
So, i get down, and i summoned the Mimic Tear because i sensed something was not right.
Then, i get to the stair, i start climbing, but i hear some strange noises.
I turn the camera, and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I SEE MY COPY FIGHTING 3 OF THESE SONS OF B****ES.
I frantically go up, only to be greeted by a slam dunk by the Avatar that aggroes the other two enemies.
I quickly realized i had no chance to come out off this situation alive, so i started to run in search of the next site of grace.
Luckily, it was just around the corner, but as soon as i activated it i was horrified to see not only the three dangerous foes i left behind me, but also ONE OF THESE TELEPORTING NIGHTMARES.
I don't know how he got up there, but it scared the sh*t out of me.

Strange that Elden Ring does not include a scarlet rot variant of this enemy. Hopefully the DLC can correct that oversight.

Submit

So far from my experience, these ****ers only teleport towards you when both of you are in an even ground. For example:

During my exploration of the Shaded Castle, when I was in the upper level where there was a wandering Cleanrot Knight I saw a Revenant below in the poison-filled courtyard, so I decided to snipe it with spells. I climbed up the walls by jumping on the barrels nearby (while trying not to destroy them instantly with my character). There I started barraging the Revenant with Loretta's Greatbow.

Initially, the Revenant was aggroed, but it wasn't able to teleport towards my position. It didn't do the acid spit too, instead it just stood there looking at me, so I kept barraging it with LGB until it died. I was confused and happy at the same time.

Then there came the time where I legitimately fought the Revenant without gimmicks. You know how that turned out. But that's when I noticed that they only teleport when both you and the revenant are in the same ground level.

I could be wrong but this was my observation so far.

Submit

this guy, ulcered tree spirit and cat on crack can kick rocks

Submit

2 things:
1 they are not the only enemy in the game harmed by healing, any cursed enemy is
2: Frok have stealth altered these guys recently, initially casting Heal would stun them long enough for 2 casts, now they recover & will dodge a 2nd cast

Tested this in my first character, a fait build with 30 dex & my 3rd character, an int build with 40 dex, both had Radagon's talisman equipped & both times the revenant recovered before the 2nd cast

Submit

This is a sekiro enemy put into a souls combat system

Submit

Melenia was easier for me to fight than these abominations. Cost me 300k runes in the Haligtree! because they decided to teleport behind me when I thought I cleared all of them.

You know all those mods that just change every enemy in the game with the endgame boss and whatnot? I bet someone will make a mod like that that changes every enemy in the game with these shitstains! Including the flying mosquitoes!

And that person will have a special place in hell waiting for them!

Submit

Creating these should've been a war crime or something

Submit

Demon of Stunlock

Submit

At least drop the crown.

Submit

Why? Just why?

Submit

Use blessing of the erdtree on haligtree ones. They will be reduced to a one hit kill once the blessing wears off

Submit

Revenants be like: (loud screeching sounds, bones crunching sounds, thousands of limbs slapping the floor)

Submit

This is Miyazaki's way of telling us that we shouldn't play his games ever again. Because bullshit like this will be the norm going forward.

Submit

This enemy was not playtested

Submit

That would be dope if someone made a mod that just deletes these things from the game.

Submit

Yo dawg I heard you like cancer. So we put cancer in your cancer so you can die while you die. - Miyazaki.

Submit

is great heal better than heal against them?

Submit

why do these guys have so much poise, they're so lanky and their "armor" is literally a piece of cloth. i'd like some more internal consistency

Submit

worst enemy by far

Submit

Just roll to the side.

Submit

Seems to have to see you in order to teleport to you successfully. Alerting it of your existence with an attack is not sufficient.

Submit

I was calmly exploring the Liurina region when I heard that god-awful otherworldly shriek and saw one of these climb out of the ground. I though it must be one of those faithcaster guys and then I noticed it's horribly misshapen face... took a few steps back and the thing literally emerged from underground and darted at me with lightspeed.
I unstantly called for the horse and ran like 3 miles backwards. It's been a long time since I saw something in a game that horrified me that much as these creatures.

Submit

Oh cool, Ludwig from Bloodborne can teleport now.

Submit

This enemy represent everything I don’t like about elden ring. Use godrick’s rune if you don’t have any faith and put on heal. This enemy should not exist.

Submit

This enemy is the main reason i want poise

Submit

This enemy doesn't deserve an honorable fight. Don't waste your time actuallt trying to fight them and just heal them to death. If your foe cheeses you with BS, cheese them back.

Submit

jump heavy attack with big bonks can kill them fast, but this thing is so fast it might knock you out of the air

Submit

Oh yeah nothing better than when you almost wasted all your stamina on non stop dodging attacks, you feel there's finally an opening to hit and this sh t teleports away to spew poison and immediately after atarts with another 1257 hits 5 minutes combo.

Submit

I did a test, warming stone doesn’t work on revanents

Submit

STR/FTH Golden Halberd type - I had a terrible time with the one down in the sewers. Tried (nearly) everything and kept getting two-shotted/combine harvester mashed. Then I tried two AoE heals, just the standard "Heal" and it killed it.

Submit

Rivers of blood is awesome against them. They are bleed succeptible.

Submit

I’m glad they never had a duo boss fight with these guys.

Submit

oh boy we love creature that can one shot us with one combo, fast as **** with an added teleport and it sprays poison too!
oh the way to break our poise easily is to use AOE healing, must time it right tho or we slap you silly back to statue of marika/grace tee hee!

Submit

When I'm at the being the worst human in the history of mankind competition and my opponent is the guy who made this abomination

Submit

If any one is wondering, I've done a bit of testing and it seems that all AOE healing spells do the same damage to these enemies.

I have the PS4 version of the game and the trio of these actually caused my game to lag from the sheer number of things moving on screen at a time. Yeah, I died.
I then tried it on my PC (I like mods, and the co-op one is top) and it outright crashed the game straight back to windows and even did something to my graphics card that forced me to reboot my PC entirely before ANYTHING would accept I even had a graphics card (RTX A4000, so yeah, its not some old junker). Went back, and it did it AGAIN. Took four tries until I finally didn't have their spazzing out, endless attack, cause a crash or something, and I finally managed to use a Lord's Heal to OHKO the bunch.

Oh yeah, and they're simply not even fun to deal with either. Mid-level or better Heal spells one-shotting them or not. If its just one of these POS mobs, then its not too bad. When its the gang of them? Screw that, your camera goes mad just trying to track them as they're all over the place. The poison spray doesn't help either.

Submit

Overpowered pieces of s**t. Even with healing spells I still somehow get screwed. In elpael there is a whole row of them. These damn things should not respawn.

Submit

I have a theory, what if those are members of the Golden Lineage? Perhaps they got killed, and it was attempted to revive them using incantations, but it went wrong and they became these twisted monstrosities which could also be why they are weak to healing incantations.

Submit

Imagine if FromSoftware created a Spirit Ash of this enemy for us to use. EASY MODE!

Submit

I genuinely from the bottom of my heart hope whoever created this enemy type never has a good night's sleep for the rest of their natural life. They're not challenging or fun to fight at all, they're an annoying hassle and nothing more. I don't learn anything from fighting them or even feel a sense of accomplishment when I kill them.

Submit

Even the weakest healing spell (w/ ~14FTH) does tons of dmg to those guys and will break their stance, might be better to just use that chance to heal again instead of doing a crit tho

Submit

If you play as aggressively as they do, they're really no issue

Submit

I finished the game three times and obtained every single achievement, weapon, spell, ashes, finished every sidequest in the game, killed every single optional boss

And I still have NO idea how to properly kill these on a low vit build without a shield and without overleveling.

Submit

These guys, Runebears, and the Red Wolves represent the holy trinity of broken enemies in Elden Ring.

Submit

It is not worth the runes and it's poise is too ****in high for the shambling makeshift creation it is. Drop its poise by half and lower the damage by at least 40%. Before someone comes at me with git gud I have beaten these guys plenty of times, but the fight is nor worth the runes rewarded. I basically avoid them everytime they pop up. In a game about overcoming enemies and having fun while doing so if a player avoids an enemy then you have failed as a developer to design said enemy.

Submit

I don't know why, but Flexile Sentry came to mind when I fought my first one in the Laskyar Ruins. Of course many bosses in this game are far from original.

Submit

Absolutely garbage enemy design. Perfect enemy for Bloodborne but the player character in Elden Ring is way too slow. Revenants either need a significant nerf or be removed from the game entirely.

Submit

**** this thing and its whole family

Submit

If you're a melee user who ain't using the heal spells on them, basically, you just gotta get behind them as much as possible. Constantly try to run behind them. Their poison attack is the biggest opening to do this. Being in front of them is basically a staggering death sentence. Also try to take advantage of them when they first appear from the ground. Can get at least half their health down before the fight even starts, if your damage is good. Have fun (or not).

Submit

STOP HITTING MEEE

Submit

One of the hardest enemies to fight as a melee user, and if you use heal its the easiest enemy to kill

Submit

These things are god damn terrifying, I love them

Submit

The only reliable way to kill them is to remember their spawning point beforehand and chain-cast heal spells/inflict enough damage to kill them before they finish the animation. Once they're out and about, it becomes pure RNG whether they let you get in any damage inflicted on them at all and that RNG is *very* much stacked against you.

Submit

With a healing spell you can pray their ghey HP away.

Submit

Question: does the Warming Stone effect hurt them like a healing spell does?

Submit

When the Mini-Boss is stronger then its creator. Seriously I don't know how Godrick lost to Malenia with these bad boys and the Scions existing.

Submit

Malenia was easier than the 4 of these slappy boys guarding the Marika Sorseal

Worst enemy in the series,even winter lanterns and giant sharks and better

Submit

Good job, master sensei. Now, where are my 280k?

Submit

Oooh god, I just love being staggered and poisoned over and over again

Submit

fun enemy

Submit

I like how these guys and their moveset looks, but they just simply are not fun to fight.

Submit

Literally nobody would be mad if this bullshit enemy got removed

Submit

I really enjoy the dynamic with these things, i haven't tried anything else and i do plan to but its cool that they are so legendarily difficult but have a huge weakness to healing which is awesome. I do wanna try other holy types to see how that plays out. I wish i would have found out on my own instead of vaati but im sure there are tons of other stuff to uncover.

Submit

The fact that you can't stagger the ones in the lower Haligtree area is complete horse ****

Submit

They are also found in Altus plateau (shaded castle). Damn you wiki

Submit

Have these been nerfed or have I just become stronger?

Submit

I swear these *******s, runebears and the giant crows of Mohgwyn Palace can solo Malenia without taking a sweat. They are the unholy trinty of Elden Ring.

Submit

Remove this enemy

Submit

Is misunderstood; just wants hugs.

Submit

Man I sure hope I don't have to fight two of them at the same time....

Submit

Man I sure hope I don't have to fight two of them at the same time....

Man I sure hope I don't have to fight two of them at the same time....

Submit

I don't know about others, but I actually feel like their combos are the only good thing about them. at least they're dodgeable with practice and you can punish after. the bad part is the fact that they teleport to god knows where, maybe narnia, and then either a) take out half of your fighting space with poison area denial or b) do a combo, which I said was fine, unless you can't freaking SEE it.

the few times I kill them legitimately is when RNG teleports them in front. when they teleport behind and you don't find them in time, game over.

Submit

Not sure whether I love or hate revenants. On one hand they're stupid and unfair, and on the other hand they are so stupid and unfair that I can find joy in the absurdity of getting deleted by a standard enemy while having 80 vigor.

Submit

I hate these Revenants with a burning passion! But I found the best way to deal with them. Use the Greatshield Soldier Ashes to keep them busy. Then use heal on them. It turns them into a cake walk. The soldiers are almost always guarding and take little damage and will swarm him and keep him busy while you can get a heal off. Then usually they are stunned and u can get another heal off.

Submit

WE NEED REVENANT STANDING HERE I REALIZE

Submit

He is not weak to holy. I deal twice the amount of damage with fire attacks.

Worst enemies in the entire game. Jumps too much and staggers a lot

Submit

Of course Prayerful Strike doesn't work either. Why would it? Silly me...

Submit

These scumbags are the enemy equivalent to Rivers of Blood.

Submit

I was doing some testing on this. It doesn't seem to matter which heal you use (as long as it has an AOE). Heal, Lord's Heal and Erdtree Heal all did exactly the same amount of damage. I don't think it's dependent on your spell buff or anything else either.

If you stagger them with a heal, the best thing to do is to do another heal. The riposte window is extremely short and you're more likely to get punished trying.

Even going back after finishing the game to test on ones in Laskyar Ruins is miserable / rage inducing.

Submit

Buff this guys HP by 10x and he can be the final boss.

Submit

This enemy is truly despicable and abominable. What kind of strategy are you supposed to use for something so extremely aggressive!? It literally never stops attacking. Poison, combos, TELEPORTATION!? I have found that the AoW Lions Claw seems to be effective when used on something with high poise break...if you can land it on this bloody thing before it tears you to pieces. RoB seems effective, too.

Also, who has time to use a healing spell when this thing is on the loose? They take a million years to cast.

I groan with dread every time one appears.

Submit

FS where is the ash,where is it, it is the only thing that is better than mimic tear. where is it!!!!!

Submit

soo Wraith Callers like BS ok.

Submit

the one in the sewers killed me 3 times in a row, respec for 60 int, and spammed comet azur in his face, most satisfying thing I did in this game

Submit

They drop sacrificial twigs too, one dropped for me while I was a phantom

Submit

They’re completely vulnerable while spawning, if one kills you just remember where it spawned and wait for it there ready to hack.

Submit

This is without a doubt THE worst designed enemy in the game. Straight up broken. It never stops attacking, has combos that can one-shot you even at a high level from full health with absolutely NO possibility to dodge roll it, spews that poison that rapidly damages you while you're standing in it, and it TELEPORTS. Nobody could have playtested this thing.

Every single time one shows up I just get mad. This thing is not fun. Nerf it or remove it from the game.

Submit

These mobs have the highest k/d against players out of any other mob in Elden Ring.

Submit

Easily the most irritating enemies in the game

Submit

literally you just must keep the heal incant on at all times. they're in places you'd never expect, and they're awful to fight.
