Today, we're ranking every poison swamp from each of the souls games by FromSoftware. This includes Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. I wanted to discuss the poison swamps because they are some of the most notorious areas in all of gaming and it's interesting to see how they stacked up against each other.

It's the most difficult in the cheapest ways possible. It's the most meme worthy hunk o junk. The design on paper is pretty cool. In operation it's a tedious and boring slog through artificial difficulty. Lots of dark narrow paths and ambushes and bad collision and constant off screen hits and then more bad collision over and over until you reach a big open pit with absolutely nothing to do, not much important loot to gather, and an annoying boss run through slow motion poison before a legitimately fun boss. 2/10

The blowdart fucks in Blighttown are supremely annoying. Guaranteed 5 estus uses early game for getting hit by a tiny projectile while climbing a ladder. Absolute bullshit. Every other enemy in Blighttown is a joke, the huge bug fucks are just about the slowest enemy in the game, and it's easy to just run through the entire level. Honestly, it's about the same as the catacombs, shit enemies, annoying to traverse, easy to effectively skip, and both have one particular enemy that sucks balls (blowdart/bonewheel).

imo, Demon's Souls remake as a WHOLE doesn't get enough credit. It has some solid bosses, and the areas are pretty good (minus the swamp). The game is really immersive, and the lore is decent. I love it for that reason.

It's a pretty great area. Tons of dope loot, some scary enemies you can easily avoid (except the one that chases you up to the second fire), the poison barely ticks health, so it's more of an anxiety thing than an actual danger. The artwork is awesome, the enemies can be tough the first go around, but the exactly 2 jumping grus can be avoided. It's got good variety, lots of fun encounters, a tough but rewarding puzzle, poison that isn't that dangerous, mountains of loot, and a pallet cleanse halfway through via the wolf tower/straw demon throwback boss fight on the busted bridge. Honestly it's the best poison area of the franchise for me.
For the poison swamp in sekiro, you can just grapple to the Buddha’s hand and then grapple 3 times to the other side to the head of a fallen statue. Then you can crouch walk behind the miniboss and stealth death blow him. If you are struggle to deal with his pull/grab attack you can just run to the side when ever you see the unblockable. If that doesn’t work for you, you can opt to use the umbrella which blocks the grab. You can avoid the second headless guardian ape by getting to the next idol in this area. As long as u haven’t beat the guardian ape yet, he won’t spawn there.
FINALLY, I HAVE BEEN PREACHING SINCE LAUNCH ER'S DLC NEEDS TO BE A SWAMP KINGDOM
I'm surprised the Consumed King's Garden didn't make the list, but Profaned Capital did
The way that you parry the snake eyes grab attack is by waiting until she turns around and just as she lowers her gun in front of you and is about to shoot then press parry. It’s actually relatively easy to parry it but it’s scary at first
That was a super clever plug at 3:09, lol.
8:48 Miyazaki:- oh that's a great idea how bout a miniboss gank too in the lake for the next DLC. Thanks for the idea
Wow, didn’t knew this one had Elden Ring including in it. Was quite a surprise!

Why Farron Keep is probably one of the least frustrating and one of the more enjoyable swamps in the series: great visability of all enemies (all of which are primarily melee) making it extremely easy to aggro them one at a time and lure them to save spots to fight. Those three Elders in a corner are a prime example, just lure them one at a time and its extremely easy.
The only reason people hated blightown was because of the frame drops at release. It's one of the best areas in DS1 hands down
What is funny about the sekiro swamp is that in my first playthrough I went there before the mountain shootout. So for me the miniboss wasnt a reskin, but the first encounter.
for me Blighttown is easily the best, it's actually one of my favourite areas in the entire series. I know that many people hated it because of the performance issues and I guess that newer players just absorbed that hate, but if you look at it with a fresh eye, the whole area is actually just amazing
cowboy is indeed goated, helped me alot with my sekiro playthrought.
I liked ds2 "swamp" the most becasue the mist doesnt slow you down and you can actually counter the poison effect with lifegems if you already played it you can grab the poison bite ring there if you want and eat a common fruit to gain more poison resist if you dont want close combat you can use magic or a bow and you can get rid of most of the enemies real Quick unless if you are using a +0 shortbow, with a +6 longbow you can shot the enemies in the mist in no time and you can use the poison pots to poison the fatty green enemies but if you dont want to Explore it you can run through real quick if you want the only negative experience there is the boss, but at least you can join the solaire covenant there. (sorry for shitty english i hope you will understand what i meant)

When you are fighting Snake eyes shirafuji after you parry an attack use ichimonji double and repeat or alternatively when she does the perilous use a umbrella to not get hit
My biggest problem with the Elder Ghru is their speed. Their size would make you think they'll be slow, lumbering and hard-hitting. So imagine when you see it barreling towards you through the poison swamp that you just struggled to go through at Mach 10 speeds, then hit you for almost all your hp.
Potential tier list material, top unique features from every souls games. Example: I hate Bloodborne for the needed to farm blood vials, but love the fact Dark Souls 1 doesn't have a mana bar, the pyros and magics have a specific times to use and you can upgrade it
Hard agree on swamp of sorrow, not to mention astrea's area. That place is one of the only souls areas I haven't fully explored.
"I'm a 100% DS2 defender" Say no more good sir, here's my subscription. Also... these zones are totally the zones I love to hate (and love them for that lol) really something super iconic to the souls saga, on the slower movement ones I just pop in some old youtube videos I like and listen to them as some sort of podcast, makes going through them a bit less annoying
farron keep is not too bad if you know the direct way and do not need the side items. The problem is getting all of the items by trudging through deep muck. If you do just the main path you can be done in under 2 minutes, getting all the side items without dying on repeat is what is the real time sink
@SolaScientia

I got the items to the left side without all the giant Elder Ghrus and it really wasn't bad. I went back for the other items after I'd cleared the Abyss Watchers and leveled up a bit more so I could handle them without being turned into paste. I really didn't have much trouble with it even if I did eat through all the purple moss I had on me by the end.

I get it tho, I don’t exactly enjoy it but the destination is pretty obvious and just buy some boluses or use magic to cure it constantly plus tanking it with flask chugs, you’ll be fine. My main issues are actually with how empty it is and the reskin boss IN the rot. Like at least give me a centipede demon style area to work with so I can get creative.

I definitely agree with swamp of sorrow for first timers. Once you learn the game more though, it's not a problem anymore. Sodden ring + decently levelled adj shield and you're good to go. Add regen ring and it becomes a breeze. My least favorite has to be lake of rot, even though I completed elden ring 10+ times. The area itself is not bad but the scarlet rot is terrible. The build up and damage on that effect is absolutely broken
That's why one of the first-buy items when I start a ds3 playthrough is a dagger. I would abandon that game if they take out quickstep. I also quickstepped through lake of rot not knowing I could just run at normal speed. Quickstep is hell of a drug
Dude, I don’t know if you know this, but in dark souls 3 if you equip a dagger, you can just quickstep through all of the swamps, and it makes those areas completely trivial. u move so fast nothing can catch u even when you run out of FP you can still continue to quickstep and you don’t have any movement penalty
I love how he leans into the watch mojo meme 😂😂
I hated 5-1 much more than 5-2. I remember that poison ticks really slowly in Demon Souls and I have enough health recovery active that I really didn’t have to worry about being poisoned. The enemies do suck but at least it has a shortcut, something 5-1 doesn’t have. And I didn’t find the Lake of Rot that bad at all, the platforms you can raise give you a place to reset the build up and I had the spell that would cure rot. Definitely the poison areas in DS2 are the worse for me I think.

The only hard part for me in 5-1 was that den of Plague Rats. If they infected you with Plague, it was pretty much a death sentence, even with both the Cling Ring and Regenerator Ring equipped. If you had Soul Arrow and a Catalyst, you could shoot them from a distance. 5-2 was easier because I equipped the Fragrant Ring and the Regenerator Ring, and I cast the Antidote Miracle when my health got too low. Then I just let my Health and Mana regenerate, and I was good to go again.
Fighting cowboy carried me through ds1,2,3 back when they came out well my first souls game was ds2
I guess the second poison swamp in sekiro wasn't bad at all since he forgot about it
I don't like poison areas but imo the poison swamp in ds3 is not only good its even one of my favorite area of the entire game. I enjoyed it a lot
I personally also consider the shaded castle as a poison swamp
I love Faron keep. In many poison swamps. The poison is just kinda there it doesnt play into the challenge of the level in anyway. Faron keep is an open space where you have to find 3 torches and then get to the end while navigating the poison, and there are a lot of optional secrets. Additionally. I feel like the enemies that you complained about are why i like them. They restrict your space so you have to thibk about the environment and be careful how you approach. Then you cant panic and have to roll around them and damage them.

I like it too. It's my favorite swamp of DS3 and it's really not bad at all to deal with. I only roll when I absolutely have to. The enemies aren't too bad, but I also don't go for the items where all the Elder Ghrus are until I've leveled up enough to handle them without being turned into paste. Even the basilisks aren't too hard to deal with and the curse just kills instead of staying until you can get it removed like in DS1.

IMO farron keep is made significantly less painful by the fact that you can just spam the quickstep weapon art on daggers to breeze through the area. If you don’t need all the items in the swamp areas (which most builds can get away with) farron can be pretty simple. Not good, mind you and won’t help a blind player, but you have more tools to get around the annoying parts of farron than some other poison swamps.
I don't think I fought those hand enemies in the Profaned Capital swamp at all. I had a go at one, noped away, and then just didn't bother with them. The Nightmare Frontier isn't bad at all even if I did skip a fair bit of it just from running around and getting a bit lost. For DS3, Farron Keep is actually my favorite. Yeah, the Elder Ghrus suck, but I went back to clear them after I'd leveled up a bit because of how much of a pain they are to deal with. I'm surprised you didn't mention that Farron Keep is the first appearance of basilisks in DS3. They were pretty easy to deal with though, unlike the ones that drop down at the end of that tunnel in the Irithyll Dugeons, and running around to find the 3 flames wasn't bad at all. I never rolled since that just coats the player in the stuff. I did eat through all my antidote moss, but it was fine. I'll clear it a hundred times before I set foot in the Earthen Peak Ruins again. Speaking of the Earthen Peak Ruins in the RInged City, screw that entire area. I hate it. I did a suicide run for the Ring of Favor +3, and then I just did the drop down to the root and bypassed the rest of it once Lapp got me that slab. I'd been close to getting it before that Herald Knight turned me into mince. The ton of enemies everywhere is why I'm not a fan of either DS3 DLC at this point. I'm in the Ringed City and it's a nightmare doing solo (and I play offline, so it has to be solo).
Shrek is Miyazaki favourite movie.

I’m one of those evil people that enjoys blight town. It’s actually one of my favorite areas in the game if not my favorite. I also don’t hate Farron Keep, it’s not great but there’s way worse areas in the same game (consumed kings garden, the dungeon, etc)
