Farron GS takes care of them pretty easily, nice wide attack for CC with good lunge.

These things are way more dangerous than they have any right being.

Armor of Thorns is fun against them. Rolling into them usually knocks them right out of the air.

If you invade someone, you can go up to one of these and use the lie down gesture in front of it and it looks like it's sucking your *****, complete with sound effects.

Never thought I'd find a room in a Fromsoft game that disturbed me more than the Cathedral full of spiders in the Nightmare Frontier, but the warehouse full of botflies definitely trumps it. Bravo From, bravo.

I was willing to just leave like Friede asked until I found the basement. Exterminatus it is.

I don't believe they were human once. i believe they became human-like after consuming fluids of men. They look more akin to Ornifex we found in Dark Souls II.

Without a torch: Gwyn! Why have you forsaken me?! With a torch it’s more like spending ten fucking hours looking for that crank.

I dont understand people complaining about basement. When I dropped there, I had just upgraded claymore to +10 and swinging it blindly for 5 minutes made me feel like Guts from Berserk. Sucks I didnt have greatsword.
What actually bugged me is that it seems flies are malformed children of this painting as they sometimes let out childish screams. Kinda want to pity them, but after getting maggots all over myself, simply cant do that.
Oh yeah, it seems if you shoot one midair with a bow, u get a crit on them. Might be headshot though, but it works almost every time.

For some reason, seeing the maggot puke makes my skin crawl, but I'm not even phased by the maggot creatures in Irithyll dungeon and Cathedral of the Deep.

"Plants maggots in you" That's another way of saying: They cum maggots in your mouth. very Kinky.

That *****ing room with the decomposed bodies where there are 30 of them... I couldn't see jack***** the first time and died cause of bleed procs. As if fighting 3 millwood knights near a cliff just before that wasn't enough.

These *****ers caused me to yell louder than that time I died to a 1cm health-bar nameless king. And here I thought it couldn't get worse than those damn frog things. Had to resort to muting the game and wearing a blindfold, completely relying on target lock to clear them.

Whenever they lunge just roll INTO them with any piece of the armor of thorns. The weak damage isn't the point, the point is that they get stunned and pretty much get one-shot by anything.

The WA for the Follower Torch is one of the best weapons on these guys in the basement of the chapel, because the flame AoE can stop multiple enemies flying approaching you at once, and can kill them in 1-2 hits even without any upgrading. Not to mention just holding the torch negates the maggot bleed build up.

The first couple of times I encountered these bugs I killed them quickly and that was that. The part where I fell into the pit with about 20-30 of them gave me nightmares for two days.

Some tips on killing these please, I went to the chamber with lots of them and the whole swarm comes flying at me if I kill just 1 of them. They are easy enough to kill but they do that sting attack which deals a lot of damage as well as putting nematodes that cause INSANE bleeding. I couldn't rapport them, but they did get lured by the Skull (although it lasts for very short while). Are they weak to anything? like fire could make those dogs immobile?
Two kukris to the face will kill them. Just be wary of their lunge.

Most disturbing, yet well-designed enemy in the DLC imo. Their fly-like movements are perfectly done, and their creepy semi-human nature makes them so much worse than just large insects would be. Combine that with the vastly unsettling places you encounter them, and this is an enemy to really make your skin crawl.
Once I invaded a Havel in the rot pit with the Giant Flies in the Painted World, wearing full Armor of thorns and the Spiked Mace with Carthus Rouge. The Havel guy had like 2000 dmg over his head from the bleed maggots. I literally looked like a Hell mosquitto knight with giant flies allies, and the guy didn't want to fight at all. But the atmosphere was way too evil for me not to end him. Took me a single WA + Heavy combo, and the bleed finished him off.
TLDR: Use the Spiked Mace with Carthus Rouge when the area boosts the bleed (and be an evil dikwraith).
