In The Odyssey, the sorceress Circe transforms Odysseus’ companions into animals by feeding them a magic potion mixed with cheese, barley meal, honey, and wine. Witchcraft is still practiced and persecuted in several countries around the world, including Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Chile, and Mexico. Warlocks are used to label someone who has violated their witchcraft beliefs.
Witchcraft is self-directed, taught by Jesus, and is believed to be self-directed. Witches are considered sisters and are taught to repent in the name of Jesus for all dealings with witchcraft, sorcery, the occult, and demonic realms. Tyromancy is not the only way cheese can be used in witchcraft.
Malevolent witches were also thought to meddle with milk and cheese, as spoiling milk was one of the most common curses associated with witchcraft. Witches are members of a community and subculture, according to Jeff Buckley’s “Witches’ Rave”.
The European witch trials that began in the fifteenth century have been explained in many ways, but always assuming that witchcraft was a supernatural entity. The marksman charm has not changed witchcraft much aside from giving it the marksman charm.
In summary, witchcraft is a complex and pervasive practice that continues to be practiced and persecuted in various countries worldwide. It is essential to be wary of cheese and other ingredients used in witchcraft, as they can be used in various ways.

Since the Evil Eyes don’t technically die like a regular NPC would, whenever you reduce their HP to 0 they’ll continue playing the animation they were currently playing until it finishes, only stopping once it would be time to perform the next animation. Due to this, if you use this trick on one of the ones that is floating down the hallway, it won’t actually stop until it goes all the way back to its home statue. There is a sort of comedy to the fact that these eyes, which likely represent Godwyn, can’t die a proper death and just get stuck in an awkward limbo state instead.
Interestingly, these basilisk statues could be “dealt with” by other means. Using mimic veil proved to be useful, as in most of the cases, even while moving, the death status effect wasn’t applying to the character when I first tried it. Although it worked quite janky with the moving eyes, so it might just be a bug or an oversight, since technically the statues couldn’t see you because of the veil.
I haven’t seen anyone mention how basilisks’ eyes, and the eyes that appear in these catacombs, look strikingly similar to an eclipse, with their pitch black pupils and thin white ring around it. It seems to be another intentional connection between eclipses and the story at Castle Sol and Godwyn’s deathblight, though I’m not sure what it would mean in this context
Baleful? Bayle? Vile Bayle? CURSE YOU, BAYLE! I HEREBY VOW! YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY! BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR! AND I, IGON! YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH! SOLID OF SCALE YOU MIGHT BE, FOUL DRAGON… BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE! WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS! WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING! GRAAAAAARGH! BAYLE THE DREAD! YOU SHALL HAUNT ME NO LONGER!
These catacombs feel extremely fun to explore after so many felt similar in the base game besides the occasional one or two that stood out, like the teleporting chest one, one where it loops on itself and the enemies become GIANT and the Radahn arena one. The admittedly creepy deathblight catacomb with the giant eyes, the one that has an insanely unique boss fight that transfers to the abyssal woods is AMAZING
The way the Basilisk Statues are portrayed as well, in a hostile stance with what look like slightly embellished features, is very true to how civilizations have often portrayed animals with a strong cultural or symbolic meaning. It’s just a nice little artistic detail thst shows us they aren’t just there because Basilisks are recognizable to us, but also because this culture sees them as a sort of totemic animal. Which is especially funny for an animal that can turn you into a totem, eh?
Take note this trick also works against the Aging Untouchables (AKA winter lanterns) in Abyssal Woods, but since you don’t see their health decreasing and it’s way higher than 1 HP, it could be argued this trick is harder to pull off on them than the intended parry method. Which kinda sucks for challenge runs limited to DLC-only tools, as the DLC offers no new ways of using Destined Death or black flame, but hey, if you dislike both parrying and stealth/running past, it’s your best alternative to deal with those bastards.
Who makes a tomb and thinks “you know what this place needs? Spike traps, instant death eyes, living statues that shoot fireballs at you, zombies and poison and muscular guys with huge hammers, and powerful warriors with lightning axes.” Imagine trying to pay respects to your grandma and getting blasted by lightning.
This begs the question of whether or not invaders could heal them with incantations, warming stones, holy ground, etc. Not that it would be terribly easy for an invader to realize that the eyes are “dead”, but this would potentially serve as a reminder to proactively heal them during an invasion if one is questioning whether or not the host killed them.
I don’t remember the specific name, but using the ash of war of the head shaped torch, the one which makes you “less visible” also avoids the death blight buildup. I thought it was kind off funny, seeing as the literal pair of death eyes don’t kill you by looking at you and instead “need to focus on you”.
The catacombs were my favorite dungeons. I was disappointed to find out there was only 2. The first time I saw those basilisk statues with the eyes I about shat a brick, nevermind making it all the way to the end and seeing the Godwyn face. I have had an obsssion with Godwyn ever since I stumbled down to his creepy face in Stormveil, extremely early in a first time blind playthrough before even making it to roundtable with no idea of the lore or anything. “WTF is that thing? God, its so creepy! Is it going to do something? Why is it there!?”
The fire knight who resurrects the flaming zombies in the church district after you empty it of water has a voice line that he mutters to himself. He says something like ‘he sees even in death’. I only heard it because I was perusal a clip of someone invading that area and Id never have seen it in regular play. Thought it was interesting. I was wondering if it may have been a reference to Godwin or something.
Correct me if I am wrong… but I thought the eyes of the basilisks in souls games were those little eyes that look like bumps on the left and right of their mouths. And the sacks on their heads are more like weird eye-like protrusions that spew whatever death nonsense depending on the game. At least looking at the concept art.
Man I wish we knew more about Godwyn than “He was killed in the NOBK but his body is still sort of around in a fucked up way”. Considering Gurranc/Maliketh’s obsession with Deathroot and Godwyn’s relationship to Destined Death I feel like there should be much more lore about him. His death started the Shattering War. He’s a big deal, but we know so little about him.
Proudly I figured this out on my own. I had just finished the Limit Breakers article that discovered the Dark Souls 3 lava can be guarded… if you’re facing the right direction, and so I was primed and ready for weird tricks Fromsoft might pull. I had already figured out that I could hurt the winter lanturn-alikes with the DoT from blackfire, so I chucked a black fireball at the eyes almost immediately (after dying the first time, and then trying to shoot them with a bow), since I figured it would be easier to make a weird NPC abomination and protect it, than make a whole custom object thing. I… don’t think this was how the game was supposed to be played.
Lore accrate ish. Destined death is an unstoppable force. Everything is susceptible to it. Even Godwyn. Kinda sad how we don’t get that choice because theoretically after defeating Maliketh we could just kill Godwyn’s body, without the use of destined death even just plain kill his body and he’ll die a true death
I think this should be filed as one of those interesting quirks that elevates the concept even if unintended. Because it actually seems logical that even if Black Flame or the stronger Destined Death that I do agree Black Flame is probably a derivation of can’t truly kill the Eyes of Godwin, it can Blind Them, making them ineffective. After all it was Destined Death that ‘Killed’ him to begin with.
You can use skills or spells that cause invisibility to avoid being targeted. Additionally, the darkness incantation, when cast over the eyes, also works to deny line of sight. That being said, I’ve seen a fair number of hosts still get death blighted because they casually stroll about and don’t recognize the urgency of which their summons are running. Take a hint, buddy.
The same is true for the Winter Lanterns, assuming it hasn’t been patched. Anything that causes the black flame status effect can still damage them, like the weapon art of the Black Knife that Tiche uses, even if you haven’t parried them first. It just takes forever to actually kill them this way and isn’t viable at all.
I think they are aware of it and was left in place as a workaround and I find it appropriate, sort of like the uses of Mohg’s shackle outside Mohg’s fight. Elden Ring and many other instances in the Souls series have multiple workarounds and intentional shortcuts for dealing with certain situations and enemies.
A zullie article that pvpers can learn from as well? Gankers can now turn the eyes in these dungeons off (still better locations to gank so not really a problem) but some red might get tricked into fighting in hallways or the bridge thinking the people ganking them will get tree’d and with no way to revive the eyes its entirely up to the gankers to not abuse, think the ancient dragon desync in Faram, but not as bad.
I wonder how these statues fit into the lore, I understand the existence of the death knights as they’re “sentient” and could have wandered into the catacombs or been infected by the prince of death while there. However, carved structures like the statues make no sense as death blight and the basilisks would only have existed after Godwyn was killed, meaning people in the land of shadow would have needed to make them after the shattering which considering how decrepit the catacombs are this is highly unlikely especially considering the detached nature of the realm itself.
I wonder what’s the lore implication of this. If the eyes are meant to represent Godwyn, does it mean the catacombs were made after his assassination? If not, does that mean that “Those who live in death” have some relationship with the Hornsent or at least existed alongside them way before the Golden Order was created?
Who built these statues, they must have been made post shattering since they are based off of the deathblight infected basilisks. seems weird since I assumed society had already collapsed when the elden ring shattered but apparently whoever runs these catacombs had enough sanity to look at the newly created creatures and think to make a trap based off of them.
I think making it an npc here unintentionally makes it a better reference to thee evil eye from the souls games that has legends about it destroying countless cities before having to be sealed away. And sure we could just imagine a detached basilisk eye but the immense power and size it must have been, maybe them not dying in a typical way too is a sign of this power seemingly separate from anything the souls games has shown but at least here it has ties to godwyn and the idea of immortality.
Is them being an NPC the reason that sometimes in the Seamless Co-op mod the eyeballs desync or get stuck in one spot and just do a bunch of death blight all at once? Was playing with a friend and tried using the destined death SpEffect to kill them but it only worked on the first two eyeballs and not the last set. Can only guess it has to do with them being NPCs and moving
As some other comments have said, I don’t think it’s an oversight. It makes perfect sense that only godslaying stuff can erase Godwyn’s essence, and the devs took steps to make sure that only those two things could disable them. At the same time, the eyes don’t turn off, so it may just be a happy, lore accurate coincidence.
