Razorback Nightcrawlers are enemies in Dark Souls II.

Description[]

Immense, hard-shelled invertebrates that dig deep burrows from which they launch crushing blows at passersby. They inhabit deep, dark chasms.

Strategy[]

Ranged weapons will make short work of them as they only attack near the hole from which they came from.

Standing in front of their holes, especially near the chasm, is a sure way of being knocked over the edge by them.

The Razorback Nightcrawler cannot reach the player if the latter attacks them from near the base of the burrow.

Location[]

These foes are encountered at the Black Gulch. There is also a darker variant with greater health found in the Cave of the Dead.

Attacks[]

  • Body Press: The Razorback Crawler rears up, then attempts to flatten the player under its weight.
  • Hip Check: Thrashes at either side horizontally.
  • Rush: Charges straight ahead in attempt to ram the player over the edge, or momentarily block them.
  • Burrow Rush: Retreats into its hole, then charges straight back out in an attempt to ram the player over the edge, or momentarily block them.
