Submit

The motherf**ker at the eastern side of the swamp is killing me.

Submit

Obnoxious douchebags, like most of the enemies in this damn game

Submit

Why can you Interrupt them with one hit from +0 Sellswords (one handed) EVERY time

Submit

Yall need to add these characters to the list of enemies that are guaranteed to drop embers fr! lol

Submit

idk why I like these guys so much. so intense

Submit

skinny chained ogre?

Submit

They remind me a lot of the chained ogres from Sekiro, both even have red eyes.

Submit

"Jooooooooooooooooe!!!!!"

Submit

i hate these guys that scream scares the **** out of me

Submit

The Ghrus that can grab your head and jump 69 times per second are worse than these

Submit

Found one of these guys outside my local gas station

Submit

Submit

Shrek de Sekiro

Submit

Submit

Chained ogre: The prequel

Submit

I hate these

Submit

Zombie Jesus

Submit

They're pretty fast considering they have a giant cross strapped to their back

Submit

These bois scary but they forgot to stack poise, super easy to stunlock them with almost any weapon at all, even dark hand.

Submit

YOOOOOOO

Submit

Lycanthrope? I've been calling them Oni.

Submit

There is a passive one in the Crucifiction woods. Near the back at the building on the path to the Crystal Sage. From the Crucifiction bonfire, stick to the left wall and follow it to the back of the building. There'll be a large fire with two of these guys. The one by the fire is aggressive. But there is one in the corner that's passive. He'll look at me but he only attacks me if I attack him.

Submit

no lie, when i first came across one and it started running towards me, i almost sh*t myself and ran straight back to the bonfire.

Submit

They only aggro when you walk in front of them. Why? And why are they called Lycanthropes? And why do they look so similar to the Chained Ogre enemies form Sekiro.

Submit

Just imagine how much more fast, agile, and dangerous they would be WITHOUT the huge wooden crucifix chained to their back...

Submit

These guys are NO joke. #Lycanthrope4LIFE

Submit

call me sadistic but that death scream cracks me up

Submit

for some reason, when one of these grabbed me and did its bite attack, it permanently reduced my max health by 300 points, it was about 1200 but its 900 now, haven't reloaded at the bonfire but idk if its temporary

Submit

Those guys can be parried, but only if they attack with hands. Yes, even the long jump is parriable and it's the most consistent attack to parry in fact, since the other ones are fairly unpredictable and quick.

Submit

Removed an annoying space between "to" and "Werewolves."

Submit

These guys remind me of Painwheel from Skullgirls.

Submit

They're just as weak to frost as bleed. Frostbite should proc after 2-3 hits with the Irithyll Sword that you pick up on the way down. Everything in those two zones is really. Vordts hammer might proc but they tend to die in 2 swings.

Submit

Should be noted that they can't be backstabbed, on account of the crucifix. Not that this comes as a surprise, but still, it's notable information.

About the crucifix, it looks less like the emblem of the Ringed City to me and more like a crescent moon of sorts. It's also seen on the small doll that you acquire from killing the Deacons of the Deep, meaning it must have something to do with Irithyll. Most likely, I think it implies that the Deacons serving Pontiff Sulyvahn are preparing sacrifices for Aldrich.

Submit

"They bear no resemblance to werewolves." If you think every werewolf design has to look like a carbon copy, I guess. Secondly, I'm fairly certain this refers to the transformative effects of the Wold Blood.

Submit

Don't worry, it's just satan incarinate... WORRY!

Submit

I wish we could get their stupid crucifix on their backs to use as a shield that's even weaker than the bonewheel shield.

for fashion.

Submit

They are quite similar to carrying-cross-statues in The Ringed City.

Submit

I don't about what people are saying, it looks kinda like a hairless werewolf. Most hollows are hairless so Idk.

Submit

Proof that From would make a good horror game.

Submit

Disregarding the cross, could the ring part of it confirm that the lycanthropes are represented in the ringed city though the statutes. (For those who don't know, some of the statutes in the DLC shows a human, overburdened by a ring.)

Submit

I just tried to approach one of them from behind that are by the black knight while walking to see if i could backstab them. He noticed me and just sat there looking at me from behind, straight at me and did nothing. I even started moving around normally while he was looking at me from behind, didn't aggro. Got his attention again and this time started sprinting, he didn't do anything for a few seconds but then went aggro. Weird.

Submit

I think these guys are the ones who drink the wolf's blood but failed to become Abyss Watchers

Submit

Lycanthropy is also a mental disorder associated with savage behavior, bloodlust, desires to kill and/or rip into flesh. Other symptoms include hysterical hallucinations in being possessed and/or turning into a wolf.

I wonder if this is where Fromsoft was going.

Submit

I was excited when I saw the "Lycanthrope" link, thought I missed Werewolf enemies. I'm genuinely disappointed From Software, Lycanthropy is being a Werewolf.
Keyword: WOLF

Submit

anyone else start to feel that he's not supposed to look like a werewolf? These are drinkers of the blood of the wolf (beast blood) however Artorias was a man, as consumption of this continues over time however, we see that men begin to degrade into beasts, after all, we saw just how bad it got in bloodborne...

Submit

Might not seem relevant, but the lycanthrope right after the Farron Keep Perimeter bonfire when you are going to face the Black Knight will sometimes get stuck in the doorway. easy kill.

Submit

I went to back stab it when it was going for a grab attack on a phantom. It grabbed me with its back and I died

Submit

They don't look like werewolves despite being called lycans. However, they have visible claws and large teeth. The first steps towards Bloodborne? Seems like it.

Submit

2 Hits and bleed, another 2 hits and bleed, another hit and dead, so ***** easy to stunlock. With a 25 luck/25 dex character, this enemy can be killed with one full stamina bar (20 endurance).

Submit

The ones sitting down can be pretty easily approached by walking (holding alt for PC) up from behind them for a free, fully-charged strong attack. Typically gives you a good leg-up damage advantage before engaging.

Submit

They have a ridiculous 5-hit combo that is hard to break and their hits can knock you down.

Submit

Anybody else not like the noise they make upon death? I can't stand it and hate fighting them just because I'll have to hear it again.

Submit

who came up with the name? it doenst make any sense and there is no item describing them right?

Submit

I think you mean the concept of a werewolf.

Submit

This guy is weak to bleed, 2 hits from an uchi and he'll bleed out.

Submit

Fast swinging, very aggressive, obnoxious without remorse...by far one of those enemies that can easily smoke advanced lvl players if not one shotted when it's unaware.

Submit

Let him pounce for you and roll out of the way. You'll need a fast weapon to stun him but get ready to roll and block a lot. use a quick flurry of heavy and light attacks with a fast weapon and you should get him quick. Never fight 2 on one.
