Outsmarted by a mushroom

Special thanks to Kingbore for pointing out this event script. The Mushroom Children are fairly cute, but aren't much when it comes to fighting. Lucky for them, being cute is all you need when someone else is doing the fighting for you.

While the Mushroom Children are effectively blocked from fighting back if you attack them during their patrol, they can actually turn hostile once they've successfully reached the pond. Admittedly though, you'll probably have bigger things to worry about at that point.

Everyone wants to make a soulslike, but no one wants to make cute mushroom families

Your posing of the Mushroom Child and Parent hugging is adorable.

I also appreciate framing Petrus as the one who would attack the children, because fuck Petrus.

The arrangement of points in a circle also evokes the image of fairy rings, rings of mushrooms growing in clearings.

Those mushroom punches haunt my dreams.

People like to focus on the item descriptions, but this is the kind of lore that defines Dark Souls for me. No words, just getting bodied by a giant mushroom and knowing EXACTLY what you did to deserve it.

"Phew, finally got to the bottom of this tree. Oh, and, look, there are even cute mushroom guys here. How adorable." - moments before Mushroom Dad sends me back to the top of the tree.

A mushroom parent sock em bopping someone off a cliff (they were already dead from the punch too) was the first thing I saw of dark souls, I treat the mushrooms with utmost respect and have never killed one

2:35 That image of Petrus unwittingly about to be bodied by a mushroom parent is terrifying

I feel like the existence of these guys have had an undeniable impact on my psyche. To what extent I'm not sure but I think the world is a a better place with the Dark Souls 1 mushroom guys in it

As someone who fell for the chest trap, I definitely felt outsmarted by the game.

I wasn't cruel enough to attack something (more than once) that didn't fight back, but I was definitely greedy enough to go for the chest and get mushroom punched back to a bonfire

Whilst I do love the patrolling in Elden ring I did like the static nature of enemies in Dark souls.
It felt like (at least early on in the burg ect) like a symptom of their hollowing. Like they're so broken they just stand there all day staring off into space but as soon as they see you they flip to a desire to kill you.
This is even something that animals with rabies will literally do in real life.
Side note it also added an extra twist from the developers when you did see enemies moving. Since it was different it made you wary as hell. I for instance was terrified of those cute mushroom kids as I did NOT trust them at all even after going past them lol.

1:21 That's why, even in the world of the culinary arts, we're told to discard the otherwise tough, woody stalks of such mushrooms.

Outsmarted by a mushroom = anyone with scarlet rot

Somehow I've completely neglected the simple fact, that most NPC's in the older games do not move until you aggro them.

I don't know if it was intended, but it's also, in effect, a fairy circle
Except, you know, the mushrooms are actually moving around the circle and not just immobile
The fact that the enchanted ember (I think) is in the middle makes me definitively think this was intentional
You know, enchantment and fairies, a really old tale
Also, it must have been an inspiration in elden ring's shadow of the erdretree, as fairy circles are just straight up a thing around in the overworld
It is logical this kind of things was there since dark souls, as it has become a staple of western style heroic fantasy
But as a young girl I remember my father telling me these in real life were magical when I first saw one in the forest
and I really think it's neat to find that reflected in a videogame or two, intentional or not
