A player has discovered a formidable enemy that has left the Starfield community astounded. The design of this enemy has led to debates on whether it could be one of the scariest ever conceived by Bethesda.
Bethesda is known for developing games like Skyrim and Fallout where players have encountered terrifying enemies such as the Draugr Death Overlord and Deathclaws. However, the recent release of the long-awaited game Starfield has introduced a new enemy that might top them all - the Hunting Cephalopod.
Encounter with the Hunting Cephalopod
The Hunting Cephalopod is an alien mob resembling a cross between a spider and an octopus, which is horrifying for those who encounter it. The mere sight of this enemy was enough to strike fear into the hearts of players.
A user shared his harrowing encounter with these Lovecraftian beasts, commenting 'If you thought Terrormorphs were scary, well I present to you: Giant lvl 40 Spider-Octopus hybrids.'
In footage shared by the player, he can be seen retreating while trying to fend off the attacking alien! Despite the beast's ability to climb over cover and relentlessly target the player, a lucky escape was made after managing to defeat it.
Player Reactions
The discovery of this alien enemy left the Starfield community in shock. Some players even questioned if the Arachnecephalopod depicted in the game can truly pose any harm, as they were left petrified by its appearance.
However, some more experienced Starfield players remained unfazed. They mentioned using strategies like 'flying over these guys and raining down on them' by utilizing some advanced skills available in the game.
Interestingly, it seems that some players find other aspects of the game more intimidating than the aliens – such as the unexpectedly eerie smiles of StarField NPCs!
