A Sister's Journey · Bestiary & bosses

These bats seem unnaturally huge and aggressive, probably due to the influence of the Corruption, and seem to prefer caves and other dark areas. While aggressive, they still don't seem much of a threat, and can easily be dealt with. A quick, direct attack after dodging theirs always seems like a solid strategy.

A small cave bat, probably still unaffected by the Corruption, or at least not showing signs yet. Generally harmless. They seem to like the company of larger bats, but are eager to flee once they sense danger.

A slimy creature, originally probably some sort of mushroom, until the Corruption started to slowly transform it. They still seem relatively peaceful, unless angered, and are rather easy to be dealt with - if I don't allow them to overwhelm me in sheer numbers. Stomping them seems to work well, too.

This worm-like creature can generally be found in caves and similar environments, and often likes to burrow underground, to surprise its prey. When they are burrowed, they can be quite a nuisance and catch me unprepared if I'm not careful. Once I notice they have infested an area, I should be extra careful when exploring. Once unburrowed however, they are pretty exposed and can be dealt with quickly, as they don't seem to be able to move around on the surface.

These slimy, creeping creatures are rather slow and fortunately not much of a threat. They seem to like dark and moist places. They will attack when not moving out of their way, but other than that can easily be avoided. Stomping them seems like a straightforward approach, after a few kills however I rather advise using my guns. My shoes are still sticky.

These little fellas are rather cute, and I bet would be quite friendly, if not for the Corruption's slow influence. But compared to other creatures, they still are relatively peaceful. They might attack though, if I get too close. When attacking in large numbers, I could see them becoming a meaningful threat, on their own they can easily be dealt with.

A fitting name I suppose, as it is, well, a walking stump. It seems rather peaceful, I might get knocked out of the way though if I happen to stand in its path. Generally, they aren't much of a threat, so I very well might leave them be unless fighting is necessary. Plus, they can serve as an extra platform!

These small creatures certainly seem to taunt me at every opportunity they get. And while they might not look it, their impulsive moves still make them dangerous if I'm not cautious. It's probably best to deal with them from a distance, as you never know when they might suddenly jump you when too close.

Fast moving root creatures, which can become quite nasty, especially in numbers, or when charging at you while I'm already busy fighting other enemies. When they attack, they charge forward while flinging their arms - or roots - in all directions. A good strategy is to wait out one of their attacks in cover, then quickly attack and take them out fast while they pause.

These strong root creatures especially like to ambush, and often lurk in places above ground so they can throw their deadly rocks at you. Their aim with their rocks is surprisingly good, so I should be on the move constantly to dodge them, or seek cover. If possible, I should try to find a safe path to them to take them out quickly, or find a good ranged position myself.

They are likely related to those Tiny Leaf Slimes, and are every bit as cute. They are quite peaceful, and smell of fresh berries. Being not particularly dangerous, I might just leave them be - it seems however that whenever I'm in need of healing, defeating them surprisingly helps me getting my strength back.

These trickery little creatures like to hide below the earth, waiting for a change to ambush, with the grass (or is it hair?) growing on them acting as perfect cover. Keeping an eye out for their grassy heads seems like a good advice, they tend to hide within other patches of grass though, smart little pests. Still, once unburrowed, they are without cover and can be taken out quickly as long as I manage to dodge their attacks.

Similar to the beast called Darkthorn that I encountered in Deeproot Shrine, these creatures are just as deadly, and are probably related in some way. Fortunately, their attacks and skill in combat seem slightly underdeveloped compared to their leader. Still, they are formidable foes and extremely dangerous, and take a lot of firepower to take down.

These small machines look like tiny tanks, although they don't seem to be equipped with any weapons. All they do is trying to run me over. When they detect an enemy in front of them, they accelerate, making attacks from above or behind the best strategy.

Strange flying contraptions, equipped with deadly spikes to shred its enemies to pieces. When they detect an enemy, they start to chase. While their spikes are deadly, these machines aren't especially fast, so keeping a safe distance while taking them down is a good way to deal with them.

A stationary turret equipped with a movable gun. Deadly, but also predictable. When blasting them from a safe distance isn't an option, getting into its blind spot is a solid approach, since the gun needs time to readjust, giving me time to deal some damage.

A slowly creeping, slimy creature, trying to gradually digest everything in its path. Fortunately, they aren't especially fast and are easy to avoid, but can still be troublesome. Its touch burns like acid, so I better keep my distance and get rid of it, before it comes too close.

It's hard to describe what this creature really resembles, but the poison blops it keeps spitting out are certainly deadly. The blops are so thick and solid, they keep absorbing my bullets, so a frontal assault is rather ineffective. Additionally, the released poison lingers for some time, so I should stay clear from whereever those blops burst. Attacking them from behind seems reasonable, although they seem especially vulnerable from above.

These floating eyes always keep scanning their surroundings, and move to attack as soon as anything suspicious meets their gaze. When spotted, I should try to keep my distance and attack from afar, or try to get above them. Once the eye bursts though, I need to beware its slimy inhabitant.

These slow-moving creatures might seem easy to avoid at first, but their rapid lunging attacks can be both agonizing and deadly. I should prepare to evade whenever coming close to them, or try to provoke an attack, and then quickly dodge. Additionally, I have to stay clear of the poisonous substances they release.

They seem to prefer moist environments, but these troublesome pests tend to appear almost everywhere. By themselves, they aren't particularly dangerous, but multiple ones jumping at you from different directions can quickly become annoying and dangerous. Best to always keep above them.

These flying creatures seem rather calm and peaceful, and tend to fly around at a relaxed pace. Still, when coming too close, they like to fling their tiny little tentacles at me, or bump me with their head. Jumping on them works rather well, though.

Just as its name suggests, this worm is equipped with long, sharp teeth, and tends to crawl around looking for prey. While it's best to stay clear of its path, it still is rather slow and does not pose much of a threat.

They appear similar to the regular Biteworm, but have now almost completely been consumed by the Corruption. Making them much more vicious and deadly. Spikeworms are much tougher, faster, and aggressive, and I should be extra cautious of their lunging attacks. I better always keep a good distance.

What was once wrapped in these linen is long gone now, and has been transformed into this hideous, ever-crawling creature. Despite their grotesque appearance, if I manage to stay clear of their hungry mouths I should be able to deal with them fairly easily.

A tough and deadly beast, equipped with a durable, spiky shell. It moves around on its many tentacles, and instinctively hides when in danger. This creature is tough to beat, as it defends itself whenever I try to deal some damage. When attacking, I should try to focus all my firepower, so I can get as many hits in as possible, before it hides again. Its protective behaviour can be utilized as my own defense though, stopping it from charging at me by trying to force it into hiding.

An extremely large, corrupted slime creature, probably as large as the one I encountered in those coastal caves, who called itself Mykorake. This one has some nasty spikes though. Another gruesome example of what could happen if the Corruption completely takes hold of someone, or... something. As I already have some experience in fighting this kind of creature, I should be able to evade its attacks, and attack it while there's an opening.

Large, scary-looking fish with sharp teeth, which can be found in all kinds of waters, hunting. It doesn't seem to attack smaller fish though, humans on the other hand... I should carefully check every body of water before jumping in, else I could end up as an involuntary snack. Their swim patterns seem predictable, and thus avoidable though, so I should be able to handle them without much of a problem.

While not exactly spitting blood, the name likely originated from the color of whatever it is they are spewing out. These can become fairly dangerous when getting too close, but taking them out from afar, when possible, should work well. I need to be careful though, some tend to be growing on walls or ceilings. When overwhelmed, it might be best to retreat, to take them out one by one.

While not technically a crab, this plant-like creature sure likes to move like one. They appear rather harmless, cute even - until they start shooting their pointy leaves. When they start to attack, it is best to keep some distance, and dodge if necessary. Other than that, it should be possible to take them down without much trouble.

A grotesque fusion between plant, mushroom, and... something with eyes. Very dangerous and best avoided, unless properly prepared. A Sturdy and dangerous lifeform, that's for sure. These eyes it launches are treacherous, and I should closely watch and evade them. Shooting them down however seems to work, too! Stomping on them is definitely not advised though.

An entangled mass of vines and roots, with one head-like sprout spewing deadly eye-like seeds. They seem to be able to grow almost everywhere, including out of walls. Using the environment can be very helpful when dealing with them, to take cover from their attacks and wait for an opening. Additionally, while dangerous, those eyes can be popped easily - If I can manage to bring them all down before they reach me.

A small, but treacherous creature, often lying in wait to suddenly attack with their razor-sharp leaves. Once they become active, keeping a good distance is advised. While they can be deadly, their attacks seem predictable, so I should be able to evade them and follow up with a good counterattack.

A giant-sized mosquito, which seems to have developed a taste for human blood especially. They often appear in groups, which doesn't help either. They often seem to fly around in unpredictable patterns, making it difficult to get a good aim at them. As they only seem to attack in smaller, close-range lunges, always keeping out of their reach seems like the straightforward approach. However, while certainly more dangerous, trying to get directly above or below them while they pause might provide a good opportunity to take one out quickly.

These rats seem to have grown unnaturally big and aggressive, and can often be encountered in damp, underground areas. While they can run extremely fast, it should be easy enough to deal with them, since running around seems to be all they do.

These mutated rats have formed poisonous blisters on their body, making them an even more dangerous opponent. Stomping on these blisters generally seems like a bad idea, and I should be careful to always stay clear of their poisonous attacks.

These enormous rats have grown deadly spikes on their back, and seem to be relentless at charging at their prey. They can become very dangerous when getting too close, so I should always be ready to evade and dodge their deadly charge attacks.

One of the many smaller slime-like creatures, now fully twisted and transformed by the Corruption, making the unnatural aggression they show all that's left of them. Still, if I manage to keep a good distance between me and them, it should be easy enough to take them out one by one. And as always, stomping them is a solid choice as well.

A sturdy rock beast, often found living in mountainous areas. They seem to enjoy rolling over anything that happens to be in their path. When they are about to charge, it is probably best to hide and keep out of their way.
