Rotten Stray | Elden Ring Wiki

stupid dog you made me look bad

Submit

not so good boy

Submit

I kind of liked the bloody chainsaw dogs, you had to respect them so much since they could rev up and let it rip at any moment. The great equalizers of the Lands Between.

Submit

this is the only genre of games i'll ever enjoy killing dogs in

Submit

dogs still obnoxious to fight since ds1, not a single fromsoft employee thought maybe we should stop them from stunlocking you

Submit

i hate this the most... yes there are are some horrible enemies in this game but this guys along with any other enemy can result quick death especially if they dont die in 1 hit.

Submit

All dogs go to heaven… except for the ones from fromsoft games. They go straight to hell.

Submit

Block them with a 100 guard shield and just smack them with a guard counter. Any weapon (preferably a fast one) with wide sweeping attacks can deal with groups. AOE skills with hyperarmor can also be useful in a pinch though you might take a lot of hits if not careful.

Submit

The only type of dog even furries detest.

Submit

Yes

Submit

Did they nerf the 30000 damage attack or no?

Submit

If 2 or 3 of they guys gang up on you they can stagger you till the end of time.

Submit

Sad that there are versions of this worthless nothing of a mob that have more health than some bosses do. Makes literally no possible sense whatsoever

Submit

He just needs some water and hes fine. Whos a good boy? Yeees, you are a good boy! Hey! Get those teeth off of me! Stop it! Noooo...

Submit

The Rot-Weiler.

Submit

They look like bloodborne dogs

Submit

whoever designs the dogs in fromsoft games should be stoned like it was ancient greece

Submit

Wouldn't be a Fromsoftware game if the dogs weren't insufferable ****s.

Submit

I had one of these jump onto a rooftop after me. Beware.

Submit

Fun fact! These things can deal damage to eachother

Submit

They should've called these things ROTTweilers.. Heh..

Submit

The broken dmg output has been fixed, but block counters still miss them with some weapons. animation goes through them but no hit reg. Also appens with rats and a couple other enemy types with a similar hitbox.

They have been fixed.

Submit

I saw a video saying these dogs do 1 hit per frame, so you are getting hit 60 times in one second

Submit

The ones in the Moghwyn Palace are nasty. There's a charged attack that's basically instakill. That attack chain breaks shields and drain 100% in a split second on a 80 poise tower shield, then kills you. I can imagine such a mechanic on a boss, but not on a random low hp mob.

Submit

This dog does 11,640 damage.

Submit

Hate these things. They can cancel their attacks at times, and if you're trying to defend then there's no good way to go about it; if you block, then another will just get around your shield, and if you tumble out of the way, then another will bite you just as your iframes end; then the other will have a nip at you just as you've been stunned, whereby you are stunlocked by these mangy hellions. Thank you, Fromsoft.

Submit

They're bugged. I can hear my guard being broken multiple times in a split second when getting attacked by these. So annoying

Submit

1/5 stars who designed these mobs? Not only are their hit boxes and animations cartoonish… but the hurt boxes as well. Should be a 2 hit kill but if the dog is in any way moving it may or may not count the hit.

Submit

fromsoft is evil

Submit

I think the strays in the Consecrated Snowfield deserve their own sub-species name. I haven’t yet found any in-game description to support this, but they are visually different and proc bleed much faster than normal rotten strays.
I’m calling them bloody strays personally.

Submit

These appear to be bugged so that they hit multiple times during a single attack with no cooldown. IE a single bite will damage constantly as long as the animation is playing for that bite. They'll hit you dozens of times in a single bite animation, and thats only one of three attacks in that combo.

Submit

Oh, look, a dog. This should be an easy win.
*dog drains my 1500+ HP with one bite*
...Oh. Okay... ;<

Submit

Dog's chainsaw bite = drains full stamina bar + breaks shield + instant bloodloss
*Miyazaki I sleep*
Me with War Cry Uchigatana + Charged Attack Blood Helice
*Miyazaki REAL SH!T*
(as of Patch 1.03)

Submit

I feel like dogs are stronger than even in elden ring.
In others games they are just annoying, and even more so when paired with another enemy especially a mage or something like that, but they didn't do much damage and had low HP so they get one shot most of the time.

In this game tho, they definetly put some levels in vigor because they can tank a very heavy hit or two, AND they deal high damage, AND they hit & run way more than before.
If you don't play with shields, 3 of theses shits on you is probably death.

Submit

Beware the "Bloody Strays" which are found in Mohgwyn Palace and writheblood ruins. These versions are covered in bloody cyst like things and seem to be intended as a middle finger to anyone who shield camps to deal with dogs. Their charged attack will almost instantly overwhelm nearly any shield and kill you very quickly if you get caught in it even at high levels. Best thing to do is take em out from a distance or before theyre able to attack.

Submit

Avoid the dogs in mohgwyn's palace as much as you humanly can or take them down VERY carefully, their charge attack can straight up instantly kill you due to a (possibly? hopefully?) bug that lets them hit you 10+ times instantly. They are NOT the only dog that can do this as I had this happen elsewhere, but in here it happens most often.
The first time it happened I had finger stone shield and it drained 70% of my stamina bar in what sounded like a chainsaw grinding on metal. The second time I wasn't so lucky and it instantly killed me and instantly applied bloodloss.

Submit

These dogs are a weapon to surpass metal gear

Submit

Shield up? Dog: "OK I'll just attack once and then wait"

Attacking? Dog: "OK I'll attack two or three times"

Submit

Trying to hit these guys with Greatsword is painful

Submit

These vile creatures are the worst mfs to encounter in the game

Submit

Got 2-shot by a rotten stray in Mohgwyn's Palace. NG LV187 holding +9 Visage Shield + Greatshield Talisman, full bar of stamina. Sounded like it multi-hit me in one attack; broke my shield then full bleed on the second for my entire health bar. Please tell me this is a bug.

Submit

The Rotten variety of this little shits are completely broken, they have a move that is an instant one shot. It breaks guard heavily and instatly bleed you for at least 1400HP

Submit

Beware, these dogs as well as the dogs in the bloody areas currently have a bugged attack (their heavy wind-up bite) that will hit you once per every frame that it makes contact. This attack will always kill you instantly even with the strongest greatshield in the game blocking it.

Submit

Hey, they don't teleport this time! I want the word 'teleport' added to messages because I wanted to put something next to dog ambush areas like 'Beware of teleport' therefor Dog.

Submit

The ones infected with scarlet rot are bugged as **** and one shot you

Submit

I died more to these pieces of **** then any boss in this game

Submit

Glad he is back

Submit

I think there is another variety found in Caelid that's infected with Scarlet Rot.

Submit

WHY DO THEY HAD TO BRING THEM BACK AAAAAH

Submit

Here we go again.
