A Man Centipede is an enemy in Demon's Souls.
Location[]
They are encountered from throughout the Fool's Idol Archstone as well as before the staircase before the Old Monk.
General Information[]
There are two variants of this enemy. The first is a small centipede with few heads that is relatively easy to kill
The second variant has more heads and is significantly more powerful than the small variant.
Strategy[]
Small Man Centipedes can only lunge at or sting the player, and have fairly low HP and attack strength. However, horizontal attacks by the player may miss; it is advisable to use a thrust, downward attack, or a projectile.
Large Man Centipedes deal more damage and HP and have an additional close-range acid spew attack that greatly reduces the durability of all the player's equipment. When its HP is reduced to 50% or less, it will shed its tail; the player can continue attacking during the shedding animation to potentially kill the centipede.
