10 Dark Souls Enemies That Don't Exist

Summary

Liam (Indeimaus) showcases fan-made Dark Souls enemy concepts by artist Vempirick, reacting to how each might work in-game. The video humorously explores imagined threats rather than actual enemies; it contains no story progression or practical strategy advice. Several concepts would make familiar routes and hazards much more punishing.

• Bonfire Mimic: A bonfire that eats players who approach without checking it first. Liam says it would betray players’ trust and notes that FromSoftware had reportedly ruled out the idea.
• Anor Londo archers: Archers with a frightening weapon that fires three arrows at once, making narrow paths even harder to cross.
• Basilisk stalker rider: A basilisk paired with a Dark Souls 2-style rider. Liam imagines it combining curse gas with ranged attacks, but thinks the concept could suit a future game or DLC.
• Shield crossbow enemy: A shield-bearing enemy that fires rapid shots from behind its defenses. Its reloading method is unclear, but the idea still sounds like a frustrating encounter.
• Siamese Smelter Demons: Blue and red Smelter Demons fused together—an enemy Liam emphatically does not want to face.
• Mimic ladder: A moving, tongue-like ladder that grabs and eats anyone climbing it. Liam calls it terrifying but also one of the best ideas, and hopes it could appear in DLC.
• Corpse mimic: A seemingly ordinary corpse or item that turns out to be a monster. Liam finds it less predictable than a bonfire mimic and likes the surprise.
• “Pin Dad”: Liam does not understand this design and asks viewers to explain it.
• Uber Pursuer: A heavily armed, multi-armed Pursuer that could switch between weapons or attack with ghostly hands. Liam considers it a strong, exciting boss concept.
• Exploding Havel: An explosive enemy in Havel’s armor and carrying two greatshields. Liam predicts it would be extremely unpleasant to fight.
• Capra Demon wheel: A Capra Demon spinning inside a wheel. Liam finds the image more absurd than frightening, though he still wouldn’t want to encounter it.
• Poison Ironclad Warrior: An Ironclad Warrior carrying many poison-spitting statues. Liam likes the design but expects its poison buildup and hit-stagger to make it a nasty fight. He suggests a curse-themed variation would be worse.

The video closes with Liam encouraging viewers to check out Vempirick’s art and recommending more Dark Souls videos, including content by Aiden, also known as A Kinda War.
