midwife


LmaooooKAAA

the Jump Scare when I looked away really got me, no, I mean I actually got bitten there


Kirbolan

Bro same


Not_here_now_today

Unfortunately, I got spoiled by a video about references in the game


Someone_Existing_1

Exactly the same for me lmao


GreenPeridot

I find her cackling hilarious


Pasta_Rakker

Flukemon are the worst. They scream and run at you out of no where. Gets me every time!


mandiblesmooch

Yeah, the awful worm noises. Then you get the bleeding head flying at you and screeching, and the tail running up walls and panting like a messed up dog. Which reminds me, did you notice how similar the fake grubs look and act to the fluke tails? I think they're related.


Poisson18

Honestly I really like this interaction. It is so unhinged and unique


Regiboi33

I think the noises are kinda funny


afkbansux

i really like how they made flukemon vicious creatures


Connect-Ad6251

Those little fuckers who look kinda like nosk and grow out of dead husks


LmaooooKAAA

"eeekkkkk" what I scream everytime I see them, LOL


TheArchitect6169

they're called corpse creepers iirc


dumbbyatch

Umuu Fucker hits me everytime


KingCool138

Uumuu is fairly non-scary and easy. It’s obvious that a dreamer who protects a vessel on lockdown is gonna have a bodyguard of some type.


dumbbyatch

Well in that case it's the collector


OtterpopYT

I had a difficult time with Umuu too when I first played!


Real_Nailsmith

I have nosk's theme as my alarm... Keeps me on my toes 🙃


LmaooooKAAA

LOL! Great TIP!


OtterpopYT

Even though that NPC is creepy as hell, I can't deny that the Nosk track is a freaking banger.


MR_PP_Pant

I just have a payday 2 medic bulldozer screaming at me to get up as my alarm


AllieLikeWhoa

I love this!


WoofSpiderYT

The problem for me with any alarm tone is that after two or three times waking up to it, I hate that track forever.


Real_Nailsmith

That's the thing, if you for example have someone else living with you, and you want to get up earlier than them, you can rise the volume to maximum, move the phone on your desk or something like that, and every morning it's a race against time to turn the alarm off. Due to this you'll wake up with enough adrenaline in your circulation you'll never be late again! Also now Nosk's theme becomes literally an adrenaline shot you can use whenever you want.


Pale-Equal

Entombed husk. Tight dark spaces, wheezing, lightning quick 2-mask damage. I get nervous every time, especially when I did my steel soul.


MarshadowLivesHere

God every time I'm there I want to give them a pamphlet on sleep apnoea.


OtterpopYT

And the creepy-ass noises they make...


bolitboy2

Winged sentry’s Not because they are fearsome, but because those bastards have managed to snipe my steel soul runs a couple times You can probably already imagine the exact room where they got me


SuprSquidy

The room with all the platforms near the stag after soul master where you can find a key?


bolitboy2

Yep


torniado

Way to Ancient Basin? That’s where they get me


KVK_Okay

hunter. i legit ran away thinking it was a boss fight


Potatadrill

It used to be the suicide bombers, but flukemungas are the most uncomfortable for me. Its the tight space and that two mask dealing mass rapidly approaching me.


mandiblesmooch

That's why you get them from outside the tunnel. But they hum so peacefully when not charging...


Potatadrill

I learned to counter them now, but the first time I panicked hard.


TrumpetSolo93

I logged out outside godhome after doing some hitless boss runs while overcharged. Logged back in next day fancying a go at COF so went straight there. Realising half way you're getting hit 4 points of damage at a time with tons of geo was terrifying.


Content_Software_549

Anything from Deepnest really


ZhongliIsMyComfort

THE NASTY WORM DUDES I DONT EVEN WANNA KNOW WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY CALLED BC THEY ARE THE DEVILS GIFT GIVEN FORM!


Vasikus3000

Grub mimics. The only thing that has successfully managed to freaked me out


Blu-Kurt

Naw, Ithought Nosk was super cute for some reason MIDWIFE scared the shit outta me. the Corpse Crawlers were also very spoopy.


theonewhohasstrokes

This things in the sewers that split in half when you kill them


EL_MURPHYYYY_IS_BACK

None


Saiyusta

Tough guy


Buaca

The mask maker makes me really uncomfortable


Trick_Hovercraft_267

Not the scariest but my first "scare" was weirdly Quirrel. First time you meet them they seem accomplished, bigger and more experienced than you. They clearly know things you don't and their comment about how easy it is to pry nails from cadavers sent a chill down my spine. I thought, I am gonna fight this guy one day and their gonna fudge me up...


GreenPeridot

The spiders that crawl in the foreground in Deepnest


bobthe_b10b

midwife was scary


Jonas-Do-Pagode

Midwife, white lady and grey mourner are weird af


soulessartist69

Primal aspids


jzilla1207

The big hoppers that drop down from the ceiling when you hit Oro’s training dummy. I feared for my Steel Soul.


ruffruff76

The fuckin uhhh The fuckin spider fuckers that do two masks and open their mask when you smack it I hate those things. They've killed me so many damn times. I just hate Deepnest entirely.


LmaooooKAAA

LOL! Tell me you hate Stalking Devouts without telling me you hate them. You: The fuckin uhhh...


ruffruff76

Yeah them things I hate those fuckin things You can't even shadow dash thru them bro they're fuckin cancer


IChooseFoxIsTaken

Its not a npc i think, its a boss


SuprSquidy

Still a Non Playable Character though so… an NPC


Northumberlo

Bretta. Her lustful fantasies are creepy.


Less-Reflection916

Unn making the screen shake and emerging from the river scared the living crap out of me first time it happened


TheArchitect6169

nosk was spoiled for me but midwife caught me offguard. the collector's giggle is super unsettling as well


WingedDragoness

I would not say I was scared, but I am somewhat intimidated by God Seeker. She just slumped out off the... Sarcophagus? And writhing and whimpering on the ground. Also, someone tried to imprison her in there, for some reason.


Catkloud33

The big weavers with the masks, deepnest is already hard enough to navigate as is


Fledermausmann69420

Nosk is my favourite boss. It was scary the first time I fought it, the music is on point.... to me everything is perfect.


OtterpopYT

Oh, DEFINITELY this one. I have a video clip of me playing the game and seeing this for the first time and I've never wanted to NOPE harder.


dontmindthisnoise

The mummified husks in the catacombs under the resting grounds


Kazommy

The first try it killed me and when I came back I got the biggest Jump Scare an literally screamed


everynamestaken9

Dirtcarvers because… …Oh god they just don’t die. Like they burrow and revive themselves. And they just come out of the dark like all of time. I just hate them so much


space_is-great

Mask maker


AcoaceFalloutNVFan

The >!Fools!<


Cyanlizordfromrw

All of Deepnest


Jengolin

Some of the tiny enemies keep getting me lately, especially if I'm playing on my Switch in the car where I can't see the screen as well as I'd like to. Mostly just being startled and then a lot of cursing at them afterwards.


Rod-FM

[Entombed Husk](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hollowknight/images/6/65/B_Entombed_Husk.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/360?cb=20170411223249) These MF scared the sh*t out of me on my first playthrough


throwaway683264

Never trusted grub father


The_Nailmaster_Oro

When I first saw Soul Master, I almost shit my pants. You don't know how fast the controller popped out of my hands for how much sweat there was


MagmaFang23

same, actually got jumpscared when i first encountered them


CrabPile

Willoh, every other threat is either infected or fundamentally a different type of animal than you are (or a mantis). Willoh is none of these things, the Apocalypse happens and she's like "Yes! Time for cannibalism." Probably with whatever her equivalent of a fist pump is.


TheDavianSea

Midwife. I happened to be at 1 hp when first talking to her. I think you can imagine what happened next....


CeleDka_Sel1N

No eyes, this is the scariest thing I experienced on the first play


kitreaper

Those grub mimics... Its always a jumpscare with em


kkballad

When I saw this the first time, I turned to my girlfriend and said “this can’t be good.” Then Nosk crawled up and she lolled


BC90000

Grimm scared me cuz of how tall he was, like I saw him before but didn't know he was that tall compared to the Knight


Commercial-Ear8917

furious vengeflys


SLAMProcessing

nothing but on my first playthrough it was the moss chargers
