One of my favourite enemies in the series, but when you know the pattern it's to easy

One of my favourite enemies in the series, but when you know the pattern it's to easy

Submit

Pretty aggresive, and extremely difficult to pet without stabbing yourself, also occasionally vomits deadly crystals.

I give it a pet score of 1/10 Too dangerous to be a household pet

Submit

Literally just keep circling around its right, it will be easier than almost any enemy in the game

Submit

the farron keep one can be easily cheesed by getting him stuck on door arch, either shortcut one (just watch out for the crux bastard), or the one leading to bonfire from the boss arena direction (bonus: you can get the mud beasts friendly fired in the process)

Submit

I was fighting the one in Cathedral of the Deep, it did a rolling attack, fell through the ground into the abyss and died. Pretty anticlimatic.

Submit

Not sure how consistent it is but I managed to beat the cemetery one on my first attempt first playthrough (of any souls-like) by pulling it towards a separate area (was trying to de-aggro, didn't work) and it got stuck in the entrance because it was too big. I took the opportunity and killed it, while also learning a bit about dodging and attack patterns in the process.

Submit

I just want this cute creature to roll over me :3

Submit

I would like exakt indtructions how to stunlock them.

Submit

There should be a boss version of one of these guys just call it the Crystal Behemoth

Submit

Me when I first encountered one you have awakened the lizard

Submit

Me going sidepath in cemetary first time: OH, GOD, WHAT IS THIS THING!?

Submit

If they were bigger,they could've been a Kaiju. I mean look at that design! some of the coolest **** I've ever seen

Submit

Sees Crystal Lizard in Cathedral of the Deep.
Me: I thought you were dead!
Crystal Lizard: My death was... greatly exaggerated.

Submit

If you fall on top of them for some reason they get instantly staggered and you can riposte them

Submit

If you are really struggling you can bait it out of its area and to the cliff towards the north. If you can get lucky enough it will roll off to its doom and you get the drops

Submit

I can only nibble at this creature with my geat scythe

Submit

So my first real souls game(after Sekiro) and I got it first try. Knight build. Lol idk is it supposed to be tough fight? just wanna know.

Submit

I can't for certain confirm if it's true or not, but I do believe they are weak to strike attacks even though it's not listed. It only takes a few hits with strike weapons to stunlock them for a riposte, which is a lot less than other weapon types.

Submit

Lol if your having trouble I recommended learning to dodge. If done correctly you won't take damage.

Submit

If you’re playing as a pyromancer I highly recommend using Iron Flesh, it lets you tank some of it’s heavier melee attacks and get in pretty good damage fairly quickly.

Submit

Someone *****ed up this article.

Submit

One of the easiest enemies in the game. Hard to believe so many people had trouble with these.

Submit

I just wanted to say that I'm so proud of the crystal lizards for leveling up. Go get 'em, guys!

Submit

I remember finishing bloodborne and playing this for the first time. I was dodging like a madman and kept running out of stamina. I learned to manage it after him lol

Submit

Weak against strike, even the mace seems to stagger them quickly

Submit

This is revenge for years of greedily murdering their young.

Submit

Hi, i tried with the Vordt great Hammer, even if the enemy is immune to Frost damage, the fight was pretty easy if you dodge wisely !

Submit

The first one was so easy in the OG version of the game. It would take like 10 hits with a club to kill it

Submit

I cant get it off the cliff

Submit

I love how these guys look! They're awesome! The fight with it was amazing, took some time but i didn't rage. First i was stupid and thought it was part of the tutorial- Haha... Great design as always. And the souls he gave were realy needed at the point! I beat it with losing 2 Estus Flasks. It was fun though! -JPuppet

Submit

I prefer the titanite demons

Submit

i made him fall off the cliff with the first bonfire (it's his roll attack)

Submit

Plunging attack at them makes riposte them instantly

Submit

How to cheese the first Great Crystal Lizard in the cemetary of Ash - This strategy requires nothing more then a weapon and keeping a cool head. First, agro the lizard to chase you and lead it to the edge of a nearby ledge (ledge not cliff), try to get the lizard to follow you down into the water, run around but up onto the ledge and simply fall onto his head. DON’T DIVE STRIKE! Just simply walking onto his head will instantly trigger a riposte opertunity and when that happens, let the lizard have it, run around back up onto the ledge a repeat over and over until it dies. It’s quit simple and is far better then wasting time hitting R1 all the time. It’s temping to do power dive but I strongly urge you not to for it takes too long to recover and you’ll most likely miss the riposte.

Submit

how the f*ck?

Submit

The Titanite Scale item info says Ravenous Crystal Lizards are created when normal Cystal Lizards consume souls, which makes me think, HOW DID A NORMAL CRYSTAL LIZARD MANAGE TO KILL ANYONE TO CONSUME THEIR SOULS? No wonder these things didn't make an appearance until now, lol.

Submit

I didn't know I could riposte these guys (as well as the giant crabs) until I did one today. This seems to be a different kind of riposte compared to other enemies, and I've seen a similar moved pulled on the Demon Prince. Can this stun attack be triggered deliberately?

Submit

If you can deal with a G-Rank Nargacuga you can deal with this guy in the tutorial.

Submit

This guy was difficult in the first stage, though with determination, dodge rolling, keeping the shield up, and examining moves, despite being new to the franchise, I beat 'em. Maybe all that early game giant killing in Skyrim boosted my ability to quickly change playstyles, cheese, and generally take on more difficult enemies

Submit

Am i the only one who have yet to lose against the first crystal lizard in the tutorial level, despite being completely new to the souls series (back then)?

Submit

If you're having trouble with this guy... try getting him to run of a cliff. Quick and easy!

Submit

For sorcerers who have a difficulty denting these with normal spell damage, try Pestilent Mercury.

Submit

Well, I'm new to dark souls ant the sense of adventure got the best of me. At the start of the game I thought the game was easy, until I stumbled into this monster and it utterly destroyed me. I haven't tried to beat him since.

Submit

This guy in the Cemetary of Ash practically taught me, the beginner of this series, how to fight. I lost uncountable times against him (about an hour and a half) before finally beat him with a good wooden club. Though he also shaped the way I fight in the entire game, which is to stay the hell away from every enemy all the time, and sneak hits in, instead of roll-dodging like a pro.

Submit

I killed it very easily by sneaking to it and casting Pestilent Mercury and then sneaking back.
the lizard didn't even wake up\aggro.

Submit

hey

Submit

You do t even need to attack, bait it through the big, up the steps towards the cliff, if you do this correctly he will roll of the edge giving you an insta kill. It's a good way to get about 2 levels immediately and, if you choose to rerun it you can get about 2-3 levels per kill the longer you farm. You can probably make your way to the closer side of level 20 before this goes stale and you want to continue on. It's also a good way to fast track your levels if you start deprived (not enough challenge until your naked and afraid)

Submit

Theres a lozard behind a locked door juat past the halfway fortress, how do i get to it?

Submit

What the hell? Is this the crystal lizard? Did they grow up or something? (later finds a tiny one) oh thank god the cute ones are still here, ( proceeds to rape and collect its guts)

Submit

There is an easy way to kill this boss as a low level, how ever it will take a couple of try's.First agro the beast and then retreat back the way you came through the small river. It would be best to roll through the bog as the bog slows you down but the creature does not. Once out of the bog, the beast can be trapped in the small boxlike courtyard just to your left. From there tun up the stairs on the left of the court yard and hide behind the graves on your right. The beast will attack the graves and not you. The beast however can get out of this little trap. If it does then agro it and make it circle around the out side of the court yard and back to where it was before. Keep on railing at the beast then you can have a nice drop after it dies.Enjoy.

Submit

If you are having trouble with these, you can aggro them one at a time. If you are still having trouble, you can summon Sword Master as bait.

Submit

They have pretty slow attacks with well defined moves before attack goes. Simply evade attacks and attack by yourself when possible. Also, most of those seem to have constant health values, so one on Cemetery of Ash and one in Cathedral of the Deep have mostly same stats, and second one should be much easier. Even those on Untended Graves have not too high stats.

Submit

Hey FROM, thanks for making these necessary creatures HIGHLY resistant to magic. My Dex build was able to easily handle them and now my sorc is basically forced into using melee. Seems fair. -_-

Submit

Pass it on your first go in the cemetery of ash. Grabbing a few levels and a nicer weapon will be more than enough for when you come back. Its rolling attack is telegraphed well and easy to dodge, so try to stand near a wall when fighting, as it will have a second of stun after unrolling which is a good time to unload on its ass. Its sideswipes can be blocked, but may break your poise so stick to dodging until it does its roll again.
