In honor of Elden Ring's 2-year anniversary, I invite you, fellow gamers to recall your highest and lowest moments playing the game. Undoubtedly, most of us experienced our fair share of both, but while the greatest accomplishments in-game became tarnished by some of our most humiliating losses, memories were forged in the fire at the base of the Erd Tree.

Lo and behold, none of us could survive the game fully without taking a few L's at the hands of some creatively designed enemies. In fact, Elden Ring prides itself on the variety of enemies, bosses, and nemeses that any given player can encounter in this epic open-world game. But who are the enemies that you always steered clear of? Which NPCs were never worth the time of such a distinguished mage, samurai, or vagabond? Lest we forget, we're here to have fun, so there are quite a few enemies that many players found decidedly UNfun. 

Read on for a gamer's almanac of some of the worst, most irritating enemies to fight in Elden Ring.

    What is one enemy you have literally never bothered fighting? Sniper crayfish for me personally

    arihilmir And all the other variants of this mf
    via arihilmir

    These guys are objectively the worst. While they're predictable and kind of clunky, when they open up their stomachs and pull you inside with their evil little tenticle things, there's something in me that gets the heebie jeebies. I won't be fighting any more of these spooky, spinning weed-wackers ever again!

    FrogInYourWalls69 Those knights right before the Godskin Duo boss room. Individually they're fine but there's just so many that I didn't bother to fight them after I killed all of them at least once.

    Friendly Language617 Ive fought anything and everything at least a few times. But i do often pass on fighting lobsters, rune bears, wolf riding albinaurics, and revanants in the base game. Theyre often just more trouble than theyre worth
