Ghru Leaper Enemy Description

  • The Leaper is the most dangerous of the melee Ghru's.
  • He attacks by jumping and by using deadly grabs that bypass blocks.
  • Ghru's are descendants of the Farron guardians. Some event, likely the presence of the abyss has turned them into goatlike demons.

 

Ghru Leaper Combat Information

  • The Ghru Leaper is fast and aggressive, and can move around both on two or on all four limbs.
  • Jumping gives the Leaper a great potential to dodge and counter.
  • Be careful when blocking, as the Leaper will often try to grab you, a move that ignores your shield.
  • Their jumping stomp attack can be blocked, but if unblocked will cause as much damage as the grab attack.
  • Sometimes the Leaper will pause and it will slowly walk towards you for a while.
  • It also has one or two claw attacks that can be parried.
  • One of the safest ways to deal with them is to dodge sideways, when they run up to grab you, and then punish them from behind.
  • After successfully performing a grab attack on the player, the Leaper will glow with a red aura for some time afterward. This is possibly a buff, needs confirmation.

Ghru Leaper Notes & Trivia

  • Some can be standing, but some require a trigger to stand up.
  • Their appearance is similar to the mythological creature Baphomet.
  • Environmental fires will damage them noticeably, this can be used if you're low on HP but be aware that sometimes they will avoid the fires.

          These are one of the most bullshit enemies designed by from software before Elden Ring.
          Then they decided to design all those new bullshit enemies and add them in Elden Ring

              whose idea was it to give a common enemy a near infinite stunlocking grab attacks and a jump that allows them to just dodge any melee attack you use on them?? I went through ariandel + cathedral without dying once and then died twice to these guys

              • Anonymous

                This is the only enemy that killed me on 2 entire levels(including bosses). And multiple times each. Hard enemies are fine but these and pus of man are the 2 worst designed enemies in this game.

                Near instant stagger recovery, unlimted grab attacks in a row, can lunge 15 feet, and 2 different attacks that spam you to death. Fromsoft always manages to completely f*** up a few enemies in the game, and these are one of them.

                              SATAN DOES NOT EXIST IN DARK SOULS YOU DUMB F*CK, are you the type of religious catholic smoothbrain who thinks everything is related to christianity? In dark souls lore chaos demons were born of the chaos flame, the soul of life, and they are literally just a new species that gwyn's gods hated and feared (because they fear literally anything that isn't born of the light soul) and sent black knights to literally eradicate them like the holocaust but worse. Keep your religious dogsh*t out of this, please.

                                  I think these enemies are the only ones that genuinely scare the ever living hell out of me in the game. I am always nervous to engage these enemies.

                                    These mother****ers killed me twice in the demon ruins by doing the brain suck attack 3 times in a row. That and the Irithyll enemies are the reason I'm probably quitting dark souls.

                                      That jump or that grab needs to be patched the **** out. Front is Problematic enough with the constant invasions, slow walking & poison, these guys are just way to over powered for a trash mob

                                        No enemy in the game i hate more. First i fought a darkwraith, then i walked all around in deep swamp for 5 min, then i fought the 5 basilisk and somehow survived (not easy when you are reduced to walking speed), as i was about to go up and deal with the second fire, this ****er jumped and one shooted me. Lost 14000 souls. Personly i prefer Blightown to Farron keep.

                                          That slow walk is so damn infuriating. Let's say you don't want to deal with their BS grabs and jumps, this is the 3rd ****ing time you are going through satan's swamp ass, you barely manage to break aggro, now you gotta sit and ****ing wait for literally 10 MINUTES for the slow **** to waddle far enough away for you to slip pass without pissing it off.

Also when they jump, you end up looking up your own ass crack cuz the camera decided to go scuba diving in the ground. And don't even get me started on hit boxes. They'll clearly miss then suddenly I'll teleport to them or they'll teleport to me.

They stumble afterwards, which gives you enough time to open up an R1 chain and hopefully get them to fuck off. I hated these enemies more than any other enemy in the game until I eventually ran into them enough to stop being retarded and figure out the bait.

I've seen how dangerous they are in multiple das3 playthroughs on youtube but if they can be lured by alluring skulls why doesn't anybody take advantage of that? My laptop can't run dark souls 3 so I can't test how effective alluring skulls are on them but dark souls 2 has trained me well to use alluring skulls on tough enemies (if they are affected by alluring skulls).

I have 45 vigor and these things still scare me witless. they're like if you took the torch hollows from Dark Souls 1, made them three times as big, gave them a lightning fast grab attack with no cooldown, and put them in the POISON SWAMP of all places. don't fight them. don't even think about them. equip a quickstep weapon and skip the entire *****ing swamp while you're at it.
