Pic related, fucking blue darknuts, especially in a room with the stone statues or bubbles.

Darknuts are nightmare fuel.

I like to believe those swords are glued to their chests.

The darknut rooms were one of my favorites... so adrenaline-filled, and I could just imagine Link rolling to the evade the energy balls, stab a knight in the back and run off again.

...damn wizrobes, though, those were terrifying. I just ran from them whenever that was a possibilty.

Yeah you just have to use your imagination. It's easy to imagine Link jumping around, dodging stuff, and trying to feint the knights into exposing their weak spots.

Use bombs when they cluster together. Time it just right, and you can smack almost the entire group with a single bomb. 2-3 bombs kill them outright. Even a single bomb will hurt them badly. It's also the only weapon they can't block.

Those damned bubbles are the work of satan.

The blue Wizzrobes gave me a much harder time than the Darknuts in my recent playthrough. Mostly because I forgot about the Magic Shield (I was thinking that the Like Likes ate your regular shield and the stores just sold replacements).

Sorcerers and any zombie always did me in. With zombies, I'd wind up stunlocked until death, with sorcs, it'd just be a person or two dead so I'd be doing the dungeon at half strength.

I found out later that deequipping all your armor in favor of weightless stuff like rings makes it much easier to fight them since your dodge chances go up.

Came to post these buggers, but then was reminded of pic related. In the 2nd quest, touching one will PERMANENTLY disable your sword and touching the other will reactivate it. While they didn't wreck my shit directly, they paved the way for others to wreck my shit. In that way they were not unlike AIDS.

It capped at 1, if it helps.

It also forced min/maxers to delete the entire build if they got hit even once.

Eventually they patched it so that it didn't do ANY permanent HP loss.

Black death were dumb for the simple reason that they were a newbie trap. They ruined your character, and then you would never be hit by them again because you knew about them and zombies are hella slow in D1; they'll never catch you if you use ranged.

Its just stupid.
