Parasite Larva ❘ 寄生虫	Regular Enemy

Description Large parasitic worms first encountered in the Forbidden Woods; a pair of them will also emerge from the corpses of defeated Loran Silverbeasts in the Nightmare of Mensis. Extremely straightforward enemies, Parasitic Larvae will slither toward you and perform lunging bites from just outside the range of your melee attacks. Despite their simplicity, they are very difficult to hit due to their small size and horizontal attacks will often pass over them entirely. When encountered away from a host, they usually appear in large groups; in these situations they are extremely dangerous due to their fast attacks and high evasion, Molotovs and Throwing Knives are marginally effective for dealing with Parasitic Larvae, but will often miss if they are actively engaged in attacking you. Strategy Use jump attacks as they're approaching you to hit them before they can strike, or time a charged R2 attack from a weapon with long reach, such as the Rifle Spear, to activate as soon as they enter your range. Do not engage more than one at a time if possible; lure them individually with Pebbles or Throwing Knives to avoid being surrounded. Try to use vertical attacks and overhead swings, such as the Hunter Axe's basic R2; these are much more likely to connect than horizontal slashes. Notes All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video] Silverbeasts in the Nightmare of Mensis and in some Chalice Dungeons will spew out two Parasite Larvae upon death, unless the finishing blow was dealt by a fire attack or visceral attack. Parasite Larva in Chalice Dungeons will drop Coldblood Dew when coming out of Silverbeasts.

Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective. Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies.

Base Level: Blood Echoes, HP, Damage and Def. Multipliers

For enemies that also appear (or exclusively appear) in dungeons, their stats will be shown at the base level, because their exact stats at any given point are calculated from these base values. The basic formula is: Total Value = Base x A x B x C x D. Multipliers written down below were datamined directly from the game files. Multiplier A represents depth (1 - 5) of the chalice dungeon; multiplier B is layer (1 - 4) of the specific chalice dungeon; multiplier C is used when dungeon is Pthumeru Ihyll; multiplier D is for calculating blood echoes when additional curse rite is used.
