Anyone who has played Dark Souls has understood the real headache that is reaching the Depths for the first time. The sewers of the RPG de FromSoftware They are a hive of Basilisks, very jumpy reptilian beings that have the particular ability to exhale a mist that should not be touched.

If the effect of it is concentrated on our character, we will trigger the Curse statewhich will drastically reduce our health, but permanently. Fixing this situation is not easy and, as if it weren’t annoying enough, the Japanese developer also decided to sneak it into several Elden Ring scenarios.

I can't believe it took me more than 10 years to play this wonder that is bringing me happiness back, but it also makes me sad.

So, every time we see his image with the huge eyes on his body, we can already start to tremble. However, it was Hidetaka Miyazaki himself who clarified in the podcast Japanese Game no Shokutaku that those big eyeballs are actually fake. “By the way, those are fake eyes.

“They are fake. I take great care in things and I don’t expect many people to discover them easily“, revealed Miyazaki, while advising to kill them so that the bodies could be moved and the position of the eyes could be checked first-hand. For now, we are content to not see the Basilisks again for a long time.
