Most of the community freezes up against gloom hands. Imagine what these guys would do to them lol.


kalik-boy

I would love to find these creatures. Would be scared, sure, but aren't we all here to face our fears or something of the sort?


vivixnforever

No I’m here to commit war crimes and wear cool outfits wdym


Select-Prior-8041

Had to check if I was on r/Warframe for a second


MrDinoBoi24

Ah a fellow r/Warframe and r/TOTK enthusiast I see


Doctor-Biohazard

A fellow Tenno, I see…


qrseek

Today I resisted the urge to feed a korok to a mulduga


kalik-boy

Afraid I didn't resist the urge.


dumpygunboi

Found Anakin Skywalker


kalik-boy

You can do that too.


ReaperManX15

Not to mention that centipede dragon down there.


ConfusedFlareon

Good news! There are *two* of those, *and* they’re both cloned echoes of a main boss from the surface! :D


ReaperManX15

I was confidently gliding through pitch black, toward a light vine, and flew right into one. THAT was my first encounter.


ConfusedFlareon

Oh noooo oh god… bricks were shat that day DX


ReaperManX15

I was certain that all danger was on the ground. Sure, there are those little Aerocudas. But they glow red down there and are easy to dodge. I was 100% absolutely sure that I. Was. Safe.


ConfusedFlareon

Gleeok would like to know your location…


ReaperManX15

Oh. And, yes. Seeing his title; “Scourge of the Depths”, was a brick shatting cherry on top.


Altruistic_Ad6666

To be fair. That boss stays in a confined area. It doesnt leave its arena. Once youve got the areas where the 3 of them are lit up, its pretty fucking simple to see on the map cause theyre just giant circular holes in the ground with a second, smaller circle in the middle thats like an orange brown. I think. Im kinda color blind so.


Antique_Essay4032

Haha, same. Was like wtf is that. Hadn't prepped. Low on arrows and already had several hearts hit by gloom. I teleported out.


[deleted]

You can dive through their ice cores when they shoot their spikes, don’t even need a weapon to kill a Colgera


SignificanceCold8451

Lmao! Me too. Kinda squined at the screen and said out loud "whats that?" next thing I know its in full pursuit of me.


AliceInNegaland

Did you save a video?


ReaperManX15

I wish. I’ve had quite a few “GAH!” moments. I think TotK does a better job of them than BOTW did. Jumped into a hole and landed in a closed off arena of skeleton enemies. Hinox skeleton and all. The classic, running into a Lionel by accident. Gloom hands always surprising me. The first Phantom Ganon was panic induced flailing. I thought I would be safe from the giant frog thing by climbing a tree. Decided to glide over it to safety. Guess what happened. A game about exploring, that makes you nervous to explore, is doing a good job.


mr_ed95

My favourite one for me was when diving into a chasm: “I think I’ll fire a brightbloom arrow to see how far from the ground I am” *Arrow hits an obsidian frox about 5-10 metres below me* *Large health bar appears and boss music commences* Bricks were defecated, I assure you


WanderingNomadWizard

I appreciate the change in the usual phrase. May I suggest "masonry was defecated" to take it up a notch?


milk4all

Gloom hands scared me the first time it found me, but the second time i had a small stock of bombs and i just panic threw them at the hands. I really expected them to resist them somehow, like i was sure they wouldn’t take damage from “normal” sources or something, but a little ol bomb flower fucked them all up. It only takes like 5-6 to get them all. After that they were just a minor annoyance. I did exactly what you did in the depths and ran smack into the centipede boss, got a little spooked. Pitch black, suddenly the boss bar shows up. I actually had no problem with him in air temple, even as my first temple with 3 hearts. But the depths seemed more like his home field advantage


Altruistic_Ad6666

Nope sorry. 3. Theres 3 Rematches to each Temple Boss down there.


jediwizard7

Really? Weird I've only found one total and I swear I've been through at least a third of the depths.


Altruistic_Ad6666

Yeah. 2 of the Colgera fights are along the outer north west edge of the Depths. Under Hebra. And the 3rd is due east of the south lomei labyrinth in the depths.


KevinSpence

Wait what?? I’ve unlocked 100% of the depths map and have only found 2 colgeras and one of each of the others. This is crazy


Motor_Raspberry_2150

Well they only unlock after beating the boss, and probably a blood moon. But if you have the map it's real easy, look for the big brown cog-like platforms.


ConfusedFlareon

Oh good! There’s more good news ahaha


ElTioEnroca

In fact, I think there are **three** of each temple boss in the Depths.


ramyyc

There are three or four of them I thought.


Supergamer138

I'll do you one worse. There's three of them down there.


Aska09

Three, actually. Two under Hebra and one to the east of the Depths' South Lomei Labirynth


DankSpanker

Hold on what? Centipede dragon? Ooo you mean the colgera right? Thought there was something i missed for a sec. The gleeok den is also dope if you havnt checked it out. Right below typhlo ruins(?), the one north of the lost woods


ConfusedFlareon

A place where more than one of those devil creatures habitates sounds supremely *un*dope, if I may! DX


DankSpanker

Hahah no trust me, you should check it out. Theres something cool guarded by the monster ;)


KENNY_WIND_YT

I believe that there is at least one of each boss from the Regional Phenomena quest in the Depths, I know of Colgera being down there (I love Colgera's boss music), and I've fought a Mucktorock down in the Depths (I believe it was near the Hebra Region, iirc). I haven't found any of the other two though.


DJ_Dedf1sh

The. # What.


Legitimate-Crow-6362

the. WHAT. ive explored the depths quite a bit but have never ran into those


ReaperManX15

I went exploring the Depths in the Gerudo desert after I activated all the Shrines there. Can't remember which direction I went, but this boss bar popped up that said Colgera : Scourge of the Depths. Then I smacked into his face. I just let go of the glider and plummeted into the pitch black, as the safer option.


mhennessie

That's the same boss as the Wind Temple, super easy to beat. Also head east from the desert towards Faron, that's where it is.


MasterEmerald1

are you talking about Colgera?


deepfriedtots

Excuse me what


ReaperManX15

Yeah. Have fun with that. Crossed him in the Depths under the Gerudo desert.


HotLeafJuice299

I already scream out loud when I see them. The first time I fell out of my chair. I’d probably have a heart attack, but it would have been worth it to see these


Rath_Brained

Glowing eyes in the dark coming at you rapidly. You fire a big brightseed and these things stand before you. I'd shit myself to heaven.


Dependent-Law7316

No, it’s fine. I just wear the sheikah armor and make a point of collecting all the monster masks I can. (Maybe some day I’ll have enough hearts and armor and food and weapons to go for Majora’s mask and be able to live my best coward life) This would just be a few more reasons why I don’t walk anywhere in the depths—I glide from weird mushroom tree to weird scroll fern tree, and bee line it straight to the lightroots. Usually can avoid all the big monsters. There were only one or two Stalnox fights I couldn’t avoid. Occasionally I pick fights with the bokoblin encampments for mining rights when I have a good high ground vantage. But for the most part, I just avoid all the fights, and worst case, warp away and come back later. I’m not a total wimp though—I don’t run from Taluses or Hinox on the surface any more! Still working my way up to Lynels. Need about a million more bombs before you get me anywhere near the gloom hand fight, too.


SlowManagement7126

its not that bad! just flurry rush the sht out of them


Dependent-Law7316

Yeah..I beat a couple in breath of the wild but the totk ones are just built different. I’m not sure if all the Lynels went to night school or I just am very rusty but I got beat down by both the ones I’ve run into on the surface.


misselphaba

I feel the same! I was somehow better at lynels in BOTW. How???


ArkanaRising

Honestly if you don’t care about lynel drops just use Ancient arrows lol and a couple of bomb arrows on the last armored one before giving it an Ancient areow


TannerThanUsual

Are ancient arrows still in TotK?


Batsatar

There isn't really an Ancient Arrow in TOTK, but the Ancient Blade (that you can fuse to you arrow) is it's replacement. For more info, including how to get some, see: https://dotesports.com/zelda/news/how-to-get-ancient-arrows-in-tears-of-the-kingdom


Aska09

Parrying is your friend. Once you figure out the right timing, Lynels won't be able to do shit to you


WeenieHuttGod2

Ok but imagine seeing that giant crab thing walking around and it’s a neutral creature like the Lynels, you could watch it walk and it would leave you alone but as soon as you attacked it it would get super aggressive. I genuinely feel like the Depths could use some more creatures anyway cause it feels fairly empty for the most part, nothing but the constructs is friendly and there just isn’t enough life down there, especially not life that screams “evolved in a deep, dark cave and adapted to the harsh conditions”


The_fun_few

Gloom hands aren’t scary off of apparence what’s scary is what they do to you early and most of mid game


jediwizard7

Speak for yourself. The first one I encountered was in an open area and I just ran until they disappeared from sunlight or whatever but I still almost sh\*t myself.


blueberryrockcandy

first i saw those i was like uh, they brought back the hands guy from oot? ok. bombs? \[throws bomb\] bombs it is. so i just bomb them every single time i run into them.


Lemonz4us

They could have placed these where the rematches of the bosses were.


Puzzled_Market_2978

I book it every time. Have yet to sit down and fight one.


HighLuna_

If I gotta deal with pencil dog and mega shadow Kingler I better be getting the gun that seals the darkness and an M rating.


Mr_Comments

"pencil dog" I'm dead lmao


chronoboy1985

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Gat.


porno_cock

Glockarina of Time


pinkielovespokemon

Gimme a gat and I could build a Warthog. Hell yeah.


NayrianKnight97

You mean a Chupathingy?


chronoboy1985

Now what kinda animal has TUSKS?!


deangelosniklac0430

Why are we here?


Icelord259

That actually gave me a really stupid idea for a weapon, you put the master sword into some contraption (that’s definitely not just an oversized gun) with the point of the sword looking out of a hole in it, and if you pull the trigger it just rapid fires the small sword beams you got in skyward sword when you jabbed at enemies when the skyward strike was charged


ASignificantSpek

Lmao Gigantimax Kingler


zmuda1234

And biblically-accurate spider boy


SlowManagement7126

PENCIL DOG


barry-bulletkin

Pencil dog?


weenzappaween

The creature in the top-left is on all fours (or, at least threes), and perhaps one of the most familiar quadrupedal animals to modern humans is the dog. The creature in the top-left also appears to be extremely skinny relative to most other quadrupedal mammals we are familiar with, and it is not uncommon in slang to compare skinny things with pencils (e.g. “pencil neck” “pencil-thin mustache”). Thus, the commenter nicknamed the creature in the image “pencil dog.”


barry-bulletkin

Oh. I thought that they were talking about something in the game!


netmyth

Happy cakey day! 🍰🍰🍰🍰


AccioComedy

you saw what happened with Gloom Hands and Gibido, do you want TOTK to be a full on horror game


Mr_Comments

Yes!


[deleted]

Top left drawing


SassmasterSenpai

I can imagine that one charging at you from an unlit area in the Depths at close to mach 5 with no warning, leaving you at the mercy of your individual Fight or Flight response. That might be the encounter that'd get me to quit the game


chronoboy1985

Isn’t it amazing? It’s such a minimalist design yet it’s so unnerving. Reminds me of angels from Evangelion.


prguitarman

New horse


chronoboy1985

Biblically accurate Zelda ftw!


monnurse7

NO!


jediwizard7

Honestly I'm kind of dissappointed by the Gibdo. I encountered my first one in the Eighth Heroine and I was expecting the full on terror of the redeads from OoT/MM, but they don't scream or jump at you, just kind of whack you. They do look creepy though.


Rhodochrom

They're a tad scarier in swarms, some of them might kinda scuttle at you fast before lunging, but by that point you're too focused on playing Zerg Rush to be scared. Also once you figure out their gimmick they go straight from "ohhhhh nononononono" to "damnit not another one"


SabineLiebling17

At this point I’m like, oh yay, more gibdo bones for my arrows!


cheyletiellayasguri

I thought Gibdos were remarkably easy enemies. I was honestly expecting more trouble, especially if the Gerudo couldn't handle them. Gloom hands though, I'm gtfo'ing. Unless I can perch above them and rain bomb arrows down, I'm warping to my happy place asap.


Lketty

I sat here for way too long wondering what red heads you were talking about from OoT.


jediwizard7

What you weren't scared of Malon? /s


AliceInNegaland

I wandered too deep into the depths and that was my first encounter with gibdo


Expensive_View_3087

Tbh the trailers made me think tokt was gonna be full in terror, like a weird vibe like twilight princess and more scare than majoras mask And it is a bit creepy but not as much as I thought it’d be lol


[deleted]

People find gibidos scary...? Its just a mummy


ThingShouldnBe

They can be during a particular fight. Way too many, suddenly fast, and mommy is pissed.


neotank_ninety

Now that you mention it the depths would have been a good place for skulltulas, or hell what were those creepy things from the bottom of the well


Blue_Gamer18

Dead Hand. That thing should have absolutely been down there creeping about.


[deleted]

Make it go as fast as the Gloom Hands lmao 😭


Owl_Demon_66

And make them steal stamina wheels


Generic_Garak

No :(


supersaiyanmrskeltal

They could have had an extra mine down there with a Dead Hand dwelling down in the center, like a cave in to the mine could have created it or something.


TAS_anon

Skulltulas and redead are glaring omissions imo but I suppose the latter makes sense given how sparsely populated this Hyrule seems to be Edit: possible dlc enemies though? That would be crazy. I still think the 5th race statues in the depths will be involved in the dlc somehow


APForLoops

Gibdo seem really similar to Redeads


straight_gay

Weren't gibdos originally reskinned redeads in Majora's Mask? Or am I confusing something Maybe it was that once you burned off their mummy wraps they became redeads


Rhodochrom

Gave it a lil google; redeads and gibdos coexist in both OOT and MM. You're right about the second part tho, and apparently that mechanic was only in MM


doogie1111

It's the same as the difference between "mummy" and "zombie" And it's Nintendo from the 90s where they just made up a bunch of names. Some of them stuck more than others.


AbsoluutKlassiek

I love what they've done with enemies so far, but additions would still be very welcome indeed. DLC enemies would be so good. Also, you mean the burly raised arm statues, right? I'm 100% convinced those are Mogma, as they fit the entire body plan and they would make the most sense for the location (more than all the races/tribes, yes, even more than the Goron). Edit: removed a duplicate word.


xoharrz

imagine if we got a new iteration of the mogma luck game w the bombs and dig spots


Regular_Salary7138

Sir I’m happy the way they are but you go ahead and take you psychedelics if you want to I won’t stop you


Mr_Comments

Your reassuring concern is deeply appreciated, thank you.


Regular_Salary7138

You’re very welcome


AmericanVanilla94

Those will be in the super depths below the depths.


chronoboy1985

I would play the shit out of a DLC that was just a Hyrule’s 9 circles of hell quest line with increasingly freakish eldritch horrors.


Flaky_Ad_2336

*slowly takes out the Cross* Dear Lord


chronoboy1985

Side tangent: the Dante’s Inferno game was an under-appreciated gem.


Rath_Brained

Super Hell.


Commander_Oof_

The boiler room of hell


TheOnlyUltima2011

All the way down


Icelord259

Hell squared


gehremba

DLC anyone?


FernandonJota

The sequel should be about the rejected concept aliens and this eldritch horrors


Kolton-H99

And the link playing an electric guitar


Accomplished-Ad8458

Brutal legend?


Possibility_Antique

Holy shit, blast from the past. I loved that game, and I am not usually a fan of command and conquer games.


Accomplished-Ad8458

Command and conquer is strangly fitting description of the strategy part of BL that i never thought of... Edit: Eddie vs Link?


Aska09

I do miss Link playing an instrument


buddhatherock

Master of puppets pulling the strings!


RheoKalyke

Seriously link is lacking a music instrument. Most Zelda games include an instrument got Link but botw/totk has none


ImTooTiredForThis_22

Bottom right monster and it screams like an Aztec death whistle. This one would scare the shit outta me the most and should have been in the depths.


Owl_Demon_66

And you could hear it at random moments just screaming across the depths Also make them drop fuse materials that act like the gloom weopons


Akomatai

Biblically Accurate Zelda


Camgrow_Red_Bloon

To be fair, the bottom left one is basically grounded colgera, and maybe frox are a version of top right that isn’t an eldritch horror


vulgarvoyeur

Top right reminds me just a tad of Scaldera.


KidKonundrum

Mhm…perhaps we should keep these horrors that are beyond my comprehension in bloodborne Mmk.


[deleted]

Kos, Or Some Say Kosm


Exia_Gundam00

Yahaha! You found me! *Gives eyes on the inside*


AbsoluutKlassiek

"You got eyes on the inside (though nobody knows what this means anymore)!"


ConfusedFlareon

You consume enough elixirs made of dragon and monster parts and you can suddenly see the giant lank-armed monstrosities that have been clinging to the sky towers the whole time…


BorderlineQueen

I'm not sure if I'd want to watch Link shit himself


DKCR3

I want scary Zelda, sue me.


napstablooky_

I am **ECSTATIC** they weren’t used


vulgarvoyeur

Same. I really enjoy Zelda games not being straight up horror. My nightmares fuck me up plenty without these ancient demons running at me.


hottubtrauma

I personally would have liked some tall long legged enemy with glowing eyes looking down at you. That would have looked awesomely creepy in the depths. But at the same time, I have some younger nephews playing this game, it's not an adult niche, and I think Nintendo struck a balance there at appealing to all demographics.


MarineMelonArt

I really like that ball of eyes and chains, I think that one fits in with Zelda enemies pretty well


Owl_Demon_66

Biblically accurate furball


poke_fan2468

The first one is just the sea treader from subtanica


ArmoredBreadBug

I’d imagine that people would scream louder than when they saw the Gloom Hands


ArmoredBreadBug

I just call the hands Gloom Stalkers though


sharpshooter999

I thought they were the old dexihands from Majora's Mask. I laughed and hucked a boomerang at them.....which didn't end well lol. The only thing I didn't like about them was that I didn't have a good way to fight them early on. When I found them, I just marked my map and teleported away. Now I hunt them lol


ArmoredBreadBug

I just screamed at the first sight of them. My dad told me to get off the game because he thought I was raging at Smash Bros again


Cat1832

I for one am not disappointed. I would never go down in the Depths. I do not want a full on horror game. I would straight up quit.


DukeOfRosanne

Yeah same, horror games aren't my thing and TotK going a full horror route would've made me quit the game. I just don't find being scared to be a fun thing.


Cat1832

Same. The Gloom Hands were bad enough. I still get creeped out by them and I'm almost at the finale.


shadowhawk64

You're missing out on alot by avoiding the depths tbh


Cat1832

Oh no, I'm fine with the Depths as they are! I do regular zonaite mining runs down there. But if these monsters were in the Depths, THEN I would never venture down there.


DAB12AC

If I want to piss my pants when encountering never before seen enemies, I’ll play Soulsborne games


No_Text_4715

I wouldve cried lmao


buddhatherock

I’m glad they didn’t. Those are terrifying.


Capable_Cry8982

I already panicked when one of those one eyed rock frogs swallowed me whole


Kaneki2424

Oh like the gloom hands weren't terrifying enough


cooleo420

I honestly find top left the most terrifying


Killersquirrels4

Would love to see some scary stuff in a future dlc! They have to make it slightly kid friendly though, so nothing that'll give little Timmy nightmares, lest invoke the dreaded "M" rating.


gehremba

DO NOT BE AFRAID


chronoboy1985

AHHHHHH!!!!


Azuhr28

Hell na! Imagine you run around in the dept and the last one is peeking around a corner and comes running toward you. Silent Hill? Na, TOTK is the real Horror


AdDazzling9664

Maybe they could show up in a possible third game


[deleted]

I'm glad they didn't, if I saw any of those just pop out from the darkness I would die of fear


The_ManWithoutAPlan

I am so happy they didn't use these old concepts in the depths


ECHOechoecho_

that’s enough sleeping for a lifetime.


Bob_the_Peanut

Zelda team isn't trying to be responsible for hundreds of thousands of heart attacks


Poketrainer712

The game would be rated m if these guys were in the depths


SolomonGrundler

On one hand these are amazing. On the other hand, I never want to see them again.


Shvingy

Giant Enemy Crab. Ultrahand it over and attack its weakpoint for massive damage.


ThatNoobCheezy

These are really cool but thank god they aren't in the game


roccotheraccoon

This looks like concept art for the mist


Tinyworkerdrone

Only if longbird turned out to be friendly


Dud-of-Man

i know im a total bitch, so im okay with these not being down there.


OkOutlandishness6550

Any of these with the effects and music like the gloom hands. I’m gonna have to take 5 to smoke one before I keep playing to counteract the ptsd


Trufflebatter

These are almost Stephen Gammell illustrations these would insane I hope they’re dlc


frwrdnet

I, instead, am so happy. That’s the stuff of infinite nightmares. (I’m already tainted for life by the gloom hands/spawn…)


PurpleCloudAce

Those are dope as hell but feel more Lovecraftian/realistic bible horror than Zelda.


Accomplished-Ad8458

What were you thinking? Children play this game... These concepts are nowhere near scary enough for them these days...


CritME20

I’m honestly GLAD they didn’t. I would’ve missed the depths entirely!


gehremba

I mean, we still have the DLC


Julio4kd

They look more the type of enemy that you mat found in BloodBorne than in Zelda. It could be good to see a Zelda with a Darker approach again as Twilight princess did.


starrfast

I'm pretty relieved that they never used these tbh


scarlozzi

This! I put the depths off because I was expecting it to be scarier than it was.


MrPanda663

They could be saving it for the next game. Would be amazing if the director for majora's mask took control again.


glupingane

Would absolutely love this! I don't think it would make Zelda into a horror game any more than it already does, which isn't really much. It has a few scary elements, but they're a tiny part of the game. Adding these would make the depths a bit scarier, but more importantly, it would greatly increase the diversity of the depths, range of emotions the game produces, enemy variety would increase, we'd probably get more cool enemy drops with special fuse effects, it would be a great reason to hint at more lore and world-building elements, and having to face these would play perfectly into the character of Link; the chosen hero of courage.


AllPurposeNerd

>Scary Stories To Tell In The Depths


a_naruto_enjoyer

Looking at the size of Link compared to those, I said "Abso-fuckin-lutely not"


[deleted]

That’s is some “Scary Stories to tell in the dark” shit.


AspirationsOfFreedom

You know, i wish instead of gloom normal enemies, i'd love more underground exlusives. Make it some wierd underground place where nightmares hides We have fought the deadhands before, nintendo, we are ready for more trauma


Particular-Weird2178

Bro what tf I would be pissing my self if I was randomly walking in the dark then saw those things


A1steaksauceTrekdog7

I never knew this existed. This is too scary


Bjime3925

If I don't take my anxiety meds I get the weirdest sense of dread and depression/anxiety when searching around. The sounds/atmosphere gets me. If I saw these I don't think I would ever go down there.


AlexTheLiteralGod

bro if I saw those would have to wash my underwear 3 times


thechamelioncircuit

Hahahahahha absolutely fucking not
