yall need to start using healing spells in your kits, theres way too much complaining about this enemy when its like the easiest things to kill, sorcery arent the only spells in the game guys.

Submit

Biggest nope I have found in this game.

Submit

Warming stones heal these guys. Don't ask how I know.

Submit

I'm on my 2nd play through, it was going good then I remembered these things exist! There's one at the bottom of the subterranean shunning ground, at the end of maze of pipes. In a dark water logged chamber, nightmare fuel. Without a heal spell, they end you fast, hope my mage can deal with them because my 1st melee character couldn't fight them.

Submit

scarier than any scary movie or videogames.

Submit

I am genuinely impressed that someone making a video game can come up with these. Nothing about this enemy is fun, not even remotely

Submit

As much as I absolutely loathe these things, they really aren't even half as bad as people on this page are acting like they are. Runebears in late game with their 4 billion HP pools doing more than half your health per swing are far worse.

The trick I've found to dealing with these guys is that you can nuke them for the entirety of the time they're first spawning out of their portals. As long as your build has reasonable damage, and you aren't in an area notably over your intended RL, you can usually kill them before, or right as they finish spawning, and if you haven't, they're typically so close to death that you won't really care.

They also aren't that difficult to dodge, like, at all. Dodge TOWARDS them, not away from them. Their worst attack is that continual flurry, and if you dodge past them they can't turn it fast enough to continue hitting you with it so they're basically opened up to free damage. If you can't nuke them before they have a chance to start hitting you, then they're the epitome of requiring patience.

Submit

Are they a massive pain? Yes. Yes they are. Does that sap away my joy from playing the game? No, no it does not. I actually have a love/hate thing for them. Maybe I'm just a masochist, but I like the massive challenge. The challenges aren't impossible.

Submit

They forgot to put Putrid Glintstone Crystalian Revenant duo boss into some mid-game dungeon.

Submit

I hate revenants, Why?
Because they dont automatically apply madness and sleep the moment they see you and dont apply death blight for being in a 1 kilometer radius of him, smh myazaki fix the revenants

Submit

Was having trouble beating these shits on a pure strength build while 2 handing. Equipped a shield and they became easy. I’m convinced at this point they just aren’t beatable with a pure melee build without using a shield. They’re dumb

Submit

Give them bleed

Submit

Easiest way to deal with these is to get a greatshield and counter attack them since the shield stops their constant attacks.

The first time I ever saw this 'thing' was at the Lunar Estate Ruins. The ruins/area looked mostly vacant, everything was pretty calm as I was exploring looking for the basement stairs for the treasure every ruins has. All of a sudden this THING appears that looks like a mini scion but still pretty big. I try to fight it since most of the enemies I had fought up until that time had been manageable... but my attacks were doing almost nothing and it's fast as hell. I'm like "screw this, I'm out of here" as I'm now almost dead and have a large amount of ruins on me that I don't want to lose.

I call/mount Torrent and start galloping across the field away from the ruins at full speed. This THING is teleporting behind me, like those dogs in Dark Souls 3, AND keeping up with Torrent at full speed! I was like WTF!? Even Torrent can't outrun this thing!! It had a very long distance before it 'leashed' and left me alone, but I was a long ways away from the Ruins before it finally did. I later found out it was called a Revenant. IMO, it's the hardest/scariest enemy in the game and I avoid it at almost all costs now. Screw that thing!

Submit

This single enemy existing is literally the entire reason I don't recommend this game to anyone. It's actually like it was designed with the sole purpose of sapping fun from the game

Submit

finally, my miracle build has a use

Submit

Love that almost every comment on this RESPAWNING MOB's page is pretty much just 100s of ways to say it's overtuned, and yet it will remain in its exact state forever. Cause they only fix broken **** that players can use, not **** that saps all fun out of the game that it possibly can

Submit

Mind blowing how blatantly overturned they made this enemy just because they justify it by making it die to aoe healing spells... something basically ****ing NOONE would have normally in their kit... so ****ing stupid

Submit

What if you wanted to have fun playing Elden Ring, but a Revenant said: REEEEEEEEEEE-

Submit

Why? why make a thing so fast with so many attacks?? i hate them so much

Submit

lost a total of 240k runes over two instances to that ****ing alley in Elphael. Really avant-garde level design i say

Submit

I have a question, the revenants taking a lot of damage from one of three heal incantations that have an AoE is a well known thing, but it's very rare for me to have any kind of heal incantation in a spell slot so I avoid them as much as possible but obviously I have been caught out.
I did know about the handful that spawn one a little further down the walkway than the last at Elpael brace of the Haligtree, I had 'lord's heal' ready and it shredded them. But afterwards I started to wonder if I had needed to use lord's heal in the first place and if either 'heal' or 'great heal' would have done the exact same thing to them for less FP.
Can anyone confirm if these incantations work the same way on revenants as they would if they were offensive where 'heal' does the least damage and 'lord's heal' the most?

Submit

My son heard me saying curse words because of this f****ers

Submit

As a tip for beans fighting them in melee; doing everything you can to get behind them feels like the best strategy to me. They don't seem to have any attack they can actually do once you're there in the way some enemies/bosses do, so once you're back there they become far more predictable as they try to turn around. Fast rolling/quickstepping are good ways to achieve this, or just sprinting when you think you have an opening

Submit

>sees wiki say they take damage from heal spells
>tries to use great heal
>gets slapped to death while casting

Submit

The horrors of the Haligtree Revenant St. will remain with me for as long as I play this damn game.

Submit

let me heal man

Submit

I can’t decide whether this or the Tree Spirits are the worst enemies in the game.

Submit

Tip: in Elphael, you can get them stuck at a tiny gap in the street. I can't really describe exactly where, but usually there are messages around alerting you to the opportunity. From there, just safely poke them or gun them down if you're a mage. Just stay as close so they just can't hit you to keep them aggroed. This will prevent their teleporting.

Submit

Why the hell are there FIVE of them in the same street in the haligtree?!

Submit

Why are there 5 of these in Haligtree? No nno wait let me rephrase: Why do they exist? \

Submit

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.

Submit

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.

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