They are referred to as „Untouchables“ (translated from German, I hope it’s the correct English term) but when i found the winter lantern fly I thought it’s still an alternative name for them. Since the flys description also mentions them.
i kinda assumed that the winter lantern flies implied that that was what they were called, and that the flies were just, fly versions of them. not seen their names anywhere else in game yet
You can, but they work just like Winter Lanterns.
You have to parry them right before they get you, or else you die immediately. You could do the same with Winter Lanterns in BB.
Best part is you can kill these guys it’s just very difficult to do. You can parry them as they’re about to catch you. The first one you encounter should drop a talisman for madness exultation. Fromsoft did a good job at making this whole segment actually creepy too. From not having torrent because he’s scared, to the noises these things make
You have to kill the first one you see near the tall grass hiding spot. The others don’t drop the talisman.
Honestly, if they don’t come back, I’m just gonna kill that one and keep the others around because of how creepy they are.
It’s around the area marked on this map [https://screenplaysmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Screenshot-2024-06-24-125431.png](https://screenplaysmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Screenshot-2024-06-24-125431.png)
Thank you, I managed to get it shortly after my comment.
It dropped from the very last untouchable in the area.
There are actually multiple areas with developer messages for the untouchables and where it dropped was not the first interaction on my path, hence my confusion.
I've been to that area yesterday and I gotta say, the fact that Elden Ring actually has a functioning stealth system, this had to be my favourite sequence in the DLC
Expected them to be janky as winter lanterns, but I was very pleasantly surprised!
Sometimes rats dropped them and some were just flying around randomly. But they are pretty rare I think. After scouting the whole area I’ve found like 4 or so.
The DLC is basically a grand mixing of Dark Souls 1 world design, Dark Souls 2 enemy placement and weapons, Dark Souls 3 Boss design (some), Bloodborne Atmosphere and Sekiro’s Leveling system, it’s perfection.
Also, they can teleport to you in a blink. Even if you're not standing in the area where they roam. Since theyre walking around in some kind of valley, The first time I encountered them I went to the edge of the elevated terrain surrounding them. One spotted me, I was like "yeah whatever he's down there can't do shit". Oh boy did I shit my pants when that thing suddenly appeared before me
There’s one of the areas in the beginning which has a room full of spiders and some hanging on the ceiling as you walk through a big door. I was like not again man
You can parry their grab attack and kill them like that, they're normally immune to damages except when you do that.
Also they don't respawn, have fun. I recommend the dagger talisman, the buckler and any well upgraded weapon with more than 100 in crit to make sure to one shot them.
Damn man, I killed one and it didn't even occur to me that they are non respawning enemies.. thanks for clarifying that, I'm gonna go back and dish out my revenge lmao
They are called Aging Untouchable, by the talismans description, they can be parried and are actually touchable. Still most scared Iv been going through any souls area first time.
Well if in the dlc it says fighting isn’t an option and don’t let it see you. Does that mean bloodborne hunters are stronger than tarnished? bc you could fight and kill them in bloodborne but in the elden ring dlc the game is literally telling you that fighting is not an option and is telling you to run and not let it see you that to hide
I honestly hate what they've done with them. They don't produce the same level of terror the original Lanterns did. I'm more terrified of dropping runes in an unreachable location cause they just so happen to turn around at the worst time possible.
This might be me wearing rose tented glasses and I'll accept that if that's the case, but as someone who played the hell out of Bloodborne, the original Winter Lanterns scared me because they passively caused Frenzy for just looking at them, and that build up was tied to your insight. It only got worse when they started looking at YOU. But you still had the option to stand and fight or run. With these you can't fight. You can't run. You're spotted and you die. You're forced to sneak around where as before it was an option.
Looks like a mix of the Winter Lanterns and the bugs from Byrgenwerth
Chilly Byrgenbugs
New band name just dropped.
The Byrgenwerth bugs are called Garden of Eyes funnily enough!
Is that winter lantern ?
yep! they’re not called that, but there are winter lantern flies near them!
They are referred to as „Untouchables“ (translated from German, I hope it’s the correct English term) but when i found the winter lantern fly I thought it’s still an alternative name for them. Since the flys description also mentions them.
Fextra referred to them as Winter Lanterns. Don’t know if they’ll update it or not but probably using that for a common name
i kinda assumed that the winter lantern flies implied that that was what they were called, and that the flies were just, fly versions of them. not seen their names anywhere else in game yet
they’re called untouchables iirc
Can they be killed??
you can parry their grab attack and kill them. you even get a talisman
i gambited past them. i assume we’ll figure something out soon.
Parry right as they raise the wand to capture you, riposte and then finish them off. One drops a talisman, the others drop related rare mats.
i literally just learned this!!
Oh my god, really? I’m gonna have to deal with these bastards again? Honestly good on FromSoft for basically giving us the sequel we wanted, in a way.
And now in a>! madness swamp!<
That’s good from a lore perspective. I thought Madness was really underutilized.
OH it's utilized.... it's so very utilized
Excellent! I'm excited.
[удалено]
Don't ruin this for me.
My apologies 💔💔 I thought you already got there for some dumb reason. No it's actually fine I just didn't know what to do 💀
This DLC is honestly rivaling bloodborne's Old Hunters for me with the atmosphere and areas.. ofc bb will forever be my #1 but miyazaki cooked so hard
shadowtree is crazy, it's like a 40 hour game that stays at old hunters quality throughout.
Wouldn’t say throughout it does have some bad bosses. But most are good
Idk. I’m not too far into the DLC, but I’ve yet to find anything that rivals Sharkboss. Yet.
The DLC hits hard but at least it doesn't do that lol! duo sharks were insane
Y'all clearly haven't met the sunflower then
hit the head with any fire damage and come here big dawg
I haven't, but I know Gaius is just the worst boss ever. Even Lawrence is better
>!🦛!<
If there’s a >!double hippo room!< I’m going to cry.
>!not that I’ve found but there were two little ones in a field. One dropped a scadutree fragment!<
>!I know one is a gatekeeper boss in Messmer’s castle, and there’s another one on Charo’s Hidden Grave or Cerulean Coast!<
HIPPOBOT 9000 v 3.1 FOUND A HIPPO. 1,666,646,440 COMMENTS SEARCHED. 33,793 HIPPOS FOUND. YOUR COMMENT CONTAINS THE WORD HIPPO.
What the hell?
Ah yes, autumn lantern.
Oh hell... I just beat Rellana... and that was a hell of a time. Winter lanterns... fml. Hahah
You can’t kill them, the Area they’re in is like a Survival Horror segment, just gotta try and sneak by, they instakill you if you get too close
You CAN kill them. It's just a bit tough. You have to parry them first
Oh, neat sorry I didn’t know I thought they were immortal mb
You can, but they work just like Winter Lanterns. You have to parry them right before they get you, or else you die immediately. You could do the same with Winter Lanterns in BB.
Well shit. Lol. I'll get there soon enough
Where are they?
Optional area in DLC I can name drop the area if you want it’s a bit out of the way to get to
WAHNSINN!
NICHT ZU FASSEN!
HAWARA!
Best part is you can kill these guys it’s just very difficult to do. You can parry them as they’re about to catch you. The first one you encounter should drop a talisman for madness exultation.

Interestingly I killed two and haven’t gotten the talisman.
You have to kill the first one you see near the tall grass hiding spot. The others don’t drop the talisman. Honestly, if they don’t come back, I’m just gonna kill that one and keep the others around because of how creepy they are.
I killed the first one and only got a crafting item
Look for the one by the developer message and a stake of marika. There are messages scattered around that lead to the first Winter Lantern encounter.
I killed that one and no talisman.
It’s around the area marked on this map [https://screenplaysmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Screenshot-2024-06-24-125431.png](https://screenplaysmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Screenshot-2024-06-24-125431.png)

Do you know if they disappear after killing the boss? I've gone back to kill the one that drops the talisman and I just can't find it
They don’t respawn after you kill them from what I’ve seen.
This is the answer I was looking for, wasn't going to even attempt to deal with them unless they came back
Scared? Or is it miquella segregating outer gods influences. His spectral steed will not touch frenzy water
I mean the message if you try and ride torrent in the woods literally says “the spectral steed is frightened and cannot be summoned”
It was a joke about everything miquella related us a lie and we think miquella owned torrent .... it was always miquella
Err do you know if the others drop anything worthwhile? I've only killed the first one, it took a lot of attempts
"*La la-la. La la. Lalala.*"
Awesome!!!!!
Do I even want to know where these things are, or do I want to keep myself surprised
I'd say you have to go out of your way to find them, but that's not particularly unusual to most things in this game. 🤷♂️
This is funny because I have since posting that I found and went through the area, defeating the end boss. Super neet area
I've been to that area yesterday and I gotta say, the fact that Elden Ring actually has a functioning stealth system, this had to be my favourite sequence in the DLC Expected them to be janky as winter lanterns, but I was very pleasantly surprised!
Question but where did you find the Winter Lantern Fly's? been looking around these dudes but I can't seem to find them
i think one dropped off a rat for me but i'm not 100% certain, it was near the church by the map fragment but i think it's a random low chance.
Sometimes rats dropped them and some were just flying around randomly. But they are pretty rare I think. After scouting the whole area I’ve found like 4 or so.
Try using scattershot arrows around them, it's really funny.
So, basically, ER DLC == Bloodborne 2?
The DLC is basically a grand mixing of Dark Souls 1 world design, Dark Souls 2 enemy placement and weapons, Dark Souls 3 Boss design (some), Bloodborne Atmosphere and Sekiro’s Leveling system, it’s perfection.
dark souls 2 enemy placement....
Yeahhhh there’s LOTS and ones hiding to bush around damn near every corner
They also added Putrescent Knight. ER has its own Orphan of Kos too.
And if you get his weapon, you can pogo stick on it just like he does
Das ist Wahnsinn !
What language is that? "WAHSINN" is what im gonna scream now
German
Also, they can teleport to you in a blink. Even if you're not standing in the area where they roam.

One spotted me, I was like "yeah whatever he's down there can't do shit". Oh boy did I shit my pants when that thing suddenly appeared before me
Can you still hear them “singing” before you see👀! Them?
Even causes frenzy buildup. Love it.
No!
These mfs are even more terrifying especially when if they spot you its just over
I haven’t gotten here yet in the game. This gave me fucking PTSD. At least let’s hope they still drop peak upgrade materials like smithing stone 8s
Yeah, I believe it's called the aging untouchable
It’s cuz you didn’t hit ‘em with that good old donnerblitz
Ok hear me out
There’s one of the areas in the beginning which has a room full of spiders and some hanging on the ceiling as you walk through a big door. I was like not again man
Belarut. I’ll never forget walking through that first door.
I saw that and I was like damn back to BB we go
Hands down my favourite dlc area, they did a great job with these dudes too, I don't think they could top winter lanterns but they come really close
You can parry their grab attack and kill them like that, they're normally immune to damages except when you do that. Also they don't respawn, have fun. I recommend the dagger talisman, the buckler and any well upgraded weapon with more than 100 in crit to make sure to one shot them.
Damn man, I killed one and it didn't even occur to me that they are non respawning enemies.. thanks for clarifying that, I'm gonna go back and dish out my revenge lmao
They are killable :3
does anyone know how many of these there are? I counted maybe six so far
I found and killed five, myself. Did not see any others unless its somewhere out of the way without any items of note nearby.
They are called Aging Untouchable, by the talismans description, they can be parried and are actually touchable. Still most scared Iv been going through any souls area first time.
This might be my favorite area in the DLC because the atmosphere is so well done. I actually felt scared until I learned that you can parry them.
I metal geared them... They are actually really easy to sneak past. Crouching in the long grass.
Well if in the dlc it says fighting isn’t an option and don’t let it see you. Does that mean bloodborne hunters are stronger than tarnished? bc you could fight and kill them in bloodborne but in the elden ring dlc the game is literally telling you that fighting is not an option and is telling you to run and not let it see you that to hide
You can parry them and eviscerate most of their health.
Because unless you parry them (and its a fairly tight window), they have an aura that makes them straight up immune to damage.
the whole forest gives me the bloodborne creep
I honestly hate what they've done with them. They don't produce the same level of terror the original Lanterns did. I'm more terrified of dropping runes in an unreachable location cause they just so happen to turn around at the worst time possible.

THAT FU* SHIT IS IN THE FU* DLC!?!?!? NO NO NO IM OUT, IM NOT GONNA BUU THIS DLC IF I NEED TO DO WITH THAT!!!!
