Djura, is that you buddy?

Dealing with these stupid pieces of dogshit make Shrine of Amana almost seem fun by comparison, Screw these things so hard, Easily the worst things in the game, even the Judicator giants who summon 100-man bow-wielding firing squads weren't as bad as these abominations.

Nothing better than an angelic AC130 to harass you in a ****ing poison swamp.

Hidden Body DOES work

Submit

tip , put on the benny hill theme while running through the dreg heap with these cancerous bastards , itll lighten the mood a bit

Submit

Hidden body does not work on the angels. Not sure why that crap hasnt been edited out. It never worked.

Submit

From my 2 most recent playthroughs it seems Hidden Body has no effect on their noticing you, nor aggro range. It seemed to work for the Thralls and other such enemies in the area, but never the Angels.

Submit

it's shrine of mana all over again

Submit

These enemies make me want to break my femur bone with a sledgehammer

The angel of god

Submit

A "blessing" that inflicts curse. Disturbing, to say the least.

Submit

You can kill the one at the top of The Dreg Heap (the one that only spawns after you complete the DLC) with a millwood greatbow +5 and Hawk Ring, very easily. It doesn't drop anything or any souls though :(

Submit

I hecking loooooove environment hazards!!

A cruel angel's thesis playing in the background

Submit

its kinda crazy this dlc didnt add any angel moracles considering

Submit

Look, Mr. Bubbles. It's an angel!

Submit

I really wish there were more puzzle enemies like this

Submit

hidden body is the best spell in the game

Submit

Their bodies look like Orphan of Kos!

Submit

there is an incredible tactic you can use to avoid it's attacks, It's kinda hard to pull out for the average dark souls player but with enough practice you can do it too, hear me out on this one. There is a button on your controller or keyboard that you can use to do a roll, if you press it at the same time the angel screams you can avoid ALL the lasers, its ****ing OP. You can also use the same button and hold it down, it will make your character run, doing so it's also effective to dodge attacks but its less effective at closer range from the angel.

Submit

Maybe it was just lucky coincidence for me, but they seem particularly susceptible to Chameleon too. Clearly not as much as Hidden Body, but at least you won’t have to keep recasting it. If nothing else it seems to greatly reduce the Angel’s aggro range. Plus, since it tends to look around when idle, this can provide some opportunity to move when you’re especially close. However small that window of opportunity may be. I stg the peripheral vision of those things is 240° at least. You know what, just use Hidden Body.

Submit

Shoot it down it has ****ing machine gun wings.

1 it needs to die

2 I want to wear it’s wings

Submit

angels oh please you mean super mega death Christ darksouls addiction

Submit

After clearing the whole DLC I went back to the Dreg Heap bonfire to get the old woman ash and then there's this one angel that had never been there when I first entered the place suddenly appeared. What the hell?

Submit

anyone know the lore of these guys? What exactly are they?

Submit

You might as well also said they are linked to the white winged evangelion.....
The pilgrim is the true body, not master or summoner. THIS IS A JOJO REFERENCE!

Submit

Omg guys you wont believe it but i somehow killed one of them and guess what after about 30 second another one spawned!!!! So this tree-hollow things (their master or summoners) must die if you want to stop them.

Submit

Somebody at FS is a fan of Slayer

Praise the sun? No
Praise Orbeck that beautiful mf for Hidden body

REEEEEEEEEE

Submit

Enemy MG-42! Get Cover!

Submit

Reminds me of the Man-Serpent Summoners from the Archdragon Peak. I doubt there's any relation with it, of course, but their long bodies even on a most shallow level seem reminiscent of the man-serpents' necks.

Submit

I believe the overall inspiration for the design of the angels was the ethereal/spirit form of grove from the vampire hunter D: bloodlust animated film.

Submit

Sometimes I wonder if the faded "white flame" that the Way of White worshipped in DS1 had to do with the angels. Allfather Lloyd founded the Way of White before Gwyn's Age of Fire, before they allied to his pantheon. And when you think about it, weaker miracles of the Way of White appear more pale, whereas the closer the magic is to Gwyn's family, the more orange it becomes.

Submit

i love their idle sounds, very spooky

Submit

They are like machine gun perhaps thats why most of you hate them?

Submit

Shinji, get into the robot or Rei Ayanami will have to do it

Submit

Want to kill an angel? Destroy herpes first.

Submit

Used hidden body and the young white branch
doesnt work
fck this ****

Submit

Very annoying

Submit

there's basically no way to avoid them when they're attacking towards or perpendicularly to your moving direction. Isn't that so much fun

Submit

Are they in anyway related to the Pilgrim Butterflies

Submit

whoever developed these should get corona

Submit

I used Young White Branch, the angel will completely ignore you. It was funny af running around as a pillar.

Submit

Maybe mention the location of all the tree-like pilgrims?

Submit

If you don't have the vigor to risk dodging, try using a greatshield to block the beams. It works well, at least if you can face towards the angels while moving.

Submit

I really like the idea that the darklurker from ds3 is related to angels, add some more depth to the lore, and makes you wonder about their worshippers. And IF true is the darklurker the true form of an angel or a corrupted one, or maybe just a different kind, or some mutation

Submit

Leave it to Dark Souls to make angels freaky.

Submit

ok heres a bug i encountered after i wiped out all 3 angels in on rush through i used homeward bone to bonfire and another angel appeared a 4th one! in the dreg heaps but there was no summoner nor i killed the old pilgrim hag... so i boned back to shrine leveled up and came back to the area to see there was no angel..! so for those who encounter a 4th spawned agreesive angel and havent killed the woman at the very start just tp to firelink shrine and back it will remove the angel

Submit

Great Soul Dregs, Bellowing Dragon RIng, Murky Longstaff (off hand) +10, Lothric Warbanner (main hand), does 600 damage a shot using weapon arts

Submit

anyone just pop them with great bow arrows,do what ya need,say hi to the summoner and enjoy a fairly safe area?

Submit

Is there any way to edit the article? The fourth angel is nowhere near unkillable, so I don't know where you guys pulled that out of. It's driving me crazy. No host =/= unkillable angel, you plebs

Submit

Vow of silence does not, i repeat, Does Not work on angels

Submit

Are these the same guys the Winged Knights worship? Wish I knew more about them...

Submit

Angels do not ignore you if you use Hidden Body....

Submit

Dragonslayer Greatbow+5 R2 with Onislayer arrows, 20str/45dex Landing arrows does between 200 and 419 pts of damage depending on how far away. Head shots also count.

Submit

I am a big fan of anything thats holy / angelic, even if its some kind of corrupted version, so these enemies are my favourites in the game. I wish they dropped a miracle that we could cast, like a short version of those holy arrows or the curse dust

Submit

I do not see any similarity between Angels and Moonlight Butterflys other than being in the air... Besides the M.L.B Boss, the rest are idle unless you bother them. Angels are basically sentries tethered to a Pilgrim tree, they are intended to scan the area and limit movement until you find and kill the tree. So different tactics, roles, damage, aggressiveness, mechanics and origins... But other than that, totally similar.

Submit

Has anyone else had the angel randomly start to dance in the air, I only had it happen to the first one you see. I noticed it after i was invading and killed 2 blue sentinels.

Submit

To whichever *****face at FromSoft that thought it was a good idea to make these things: your mother was a *****

Submit

The pilgrim "larva" looks like they are praying which summons the Angel's. Sense they keep spawning after death the angels themselves are not of this world and are summoned like dregs or are created through a miracle spell. Though this has bothered me for a while. The silver knights and some other enemies disappear the same way these angels do when they die. Instesd of falling down leaving a corps to pillage.

Submit

They invented hardcore ghast to the game

Submit

Extremely resistant to lightning, standard bolts with Arabelst inflicted ~220 damage while lightning bolts with the Knights Crossbow inflicted only 77 damage.

Submit

Lost a whopping seventy thousand souls to one of these *****ers. Worst day of my life.

Submit

anyone else notice the host that you kill is attached to a pilgrim

Submit

Yea hidden body spell is the best way

Submit

Killing the angel itself rather than the cocoon will just cause another one to come in it's place in fairly short order.

Submit

Suprised that they say the damage type is unknown... Just grabbed Great Magic Barrier and confirmed the damage is indeed magic

Submit

The beams cast by the Angels are the same color as Prince Lothric's sorceries... Seems after Gertrude was imprisoned in the Grand Archives, the kingdom of Lothric had a change of heart and embraced Angelic faith?

Submit

Hidden body spell, trust me, you’ll have so much less stress in your play through! :P

Submit

I love how they brought angels in

Submit

I've found that after a certain point, there is an angel flying freely in the beginning of Dreg Heap, it won't attack you and you can't attack it, but I thought it was interesting to note, as I did kill all 3 angel hosts. bosses killed are: Demon Prince, Halflight, and Midir.

Submit

F. U. C. K.

Submit

Interesting........apparently killing Lapp (I already knew his true identity. I had to kill the bastard) stops the second angel summoner from spawning. Don't know if it was intentional, or if it was a glitch. Did this happen to anyone else?

Submit

I was watching Vampire hunter d: bloodlust, and I noticed something worth mentioning. for those who don't know what vampire hunter is, imagine Castlevania set in a post-apocalyptic future where vampires rule the world and monsters run amok, and the protagonist is basically Alucard with a cyborg horse. in the movie, there's this guy, Grove, who is this comatose-looking man in this band of vampire hunters. at some point in the movie, he uses this drug that sends him in some sort of sleeping state where he summons a spectral looking version of himself, who float around, smiling, shooting out light beams in the same fashion of Londor Angels, like identical. I don't know if it was the inspiration behind the Angels, but considering Bloodborne overall design seems inspired by Vampire hunter D, I think is a possibility.

Submit

Definitely magic damage dealt by the light-arrows. High magic-def armor helped and Pontiff Knight Shield reduced damage to near-nothing.

Submit

Using the Miracle "Hidden Body", Hidden body is not a miracle

Submit

The thing that controls the angle squirms about if you hit it with a fire weapon

Submit

The non-hostile Angel will be hostile if you killed the Old Stone Humped Hag... is it possible that she became an angel after the completion of The Ringed City? She dies either way, but the Angel being hostile would make sense if you killed her, because she might recognize the player... Discuss!

Submit

So, taking a good look at the body, these are definitely Pilgrims, not Locusts. It feels strange that they're in the Dreg Heaps of all places, as you wouldn't expect Angels to be associated with the Deep and the Abyss like the area is. Perhaps they're some manifestation of Faith? Honestly, without anything solid on Londor and its pilgrims, this is all just wild speculation,which is a damn shame because Londor is one of the locations in DS3 I'm the most curious about.

Submit

Makes sense that Gertrude got the miracle "Divine Pillars of Light" from the angels, its kind of similar to their divine beams of light.

Submit

these guys are jokes if you use the sacred bloom shield

Submit

"They are extremely difficult to kill." They revive almost immediately so long as their 'pilgrim' is still alive; you jackass.

Submit

Its kinda hard to notice this but, if you get a good look from the backside of the angel you might notice some bug like wings and stinger, similar to certain creature later in the dlc.
From looking at this makes me think that when a pilgrim dies two things happen to them either they become those gross creatures that you kill to get rid of the angel or they some how become of those preacher bugs or the preacher bugs are just angels that did not become angels.
Either what I said is true or I'm just bat***** insane and bored.

Submit

so THAT'S why they nerfed Hidden Body

Submit

Beam attack is magic. You can even parry it with spell-parrying shield though this is not quite useful.

Submit

annoying

Submit

Seeing as how the bottom looks like an insect, perhaps once the preachers have feasted enough, they become this? Lol

Submit

Can anyone confirm that Angels can't actually damage blue spirits? Invading last night I fought against a blue who couldn't be hit by any of the beams despite being the one targeted

Submit

They have a very Bloodborne feel when you realize that their bottom half is that of an insect. Really creepy enemies.

Submit

use hidden body

Submit

Their attacks are triggered if you are actively in their line of sight. If you stay in their vision for too long, their holy projectile spam rate increases until it's almost a constant laser beam. So move quickly and take cover behind tall obstacles. In this way the angel can't see you and will de-aggro until it sees you again (i.e. when you leave cover).

Submit

They deal magic damage with their main ranged attack. As well, their main ranged can be partially blocked by the Twisted Wall of Light spell; the duration means the spell won't block everything, but combined with the Great Magic Barrier miracle and the blue Stoneplate it becomes comparatively trivial to get past them.

Submit

II think these angels are the primordial form of Moonlight Butterflyes, which we know were a Seath's experiment. He probably tried to study angels, or control them with magic/sorcery.

Submit

I keep hearing how these are impossible, but I managed to get a hypermode character through the swamp, and cleared out all the angels with only 10 VIG, nearly naked. And I'm not that great.

Stock up on poison moss, and go along the swamp. There's ample cover if you take the side where all the roots grow down, but most of it requires you to be standing on poisonous ground. Having minimal HP and absorption leeway forced me to play with more respect for the angels' awe-inspiring attacks.

Trust me, if their DPS were overwhelming, my completion of this area would have been impossible. Like everything else, go slow and carefully plan each step, then sprint like mad when exposed, rolling till the bar is gone when the barrage starts.

Submit

What the ***** FROM it's physically impossible to get out of the swamp the angel DPS is too FUKING HIGH

Submit

Anyone figure out what the deal is with the angel that spawns outside the dregs heap bonfire later in the game

Submit

Great Magic Shield, boom easy mode. Can seriously just stand infront of them blocking taking ZERO damage (zero chip damage) and the stamina damage is so small that you can regen faster than they can deal. Note: Running with shield up is not recommended, because if your stamina reaches 0 your guard can be broken before it regens to safe amount and leave you defenseless.

Just buff
Shield up
Lock on
Strafe around (because if you aren't facing them you can't block, RIP)
