Giant Land Octopus

Giant Land Octopuses are pale, bloodless creatures that live near water. Their stretchy bodies are a tangle of tentacles, two of which they use as their main weapons, with a beak in the middle. They are slow, but they hit back hard when disturbed.

In Limgrave you find them on the western beaches and in Agheel Lake, and inside Highroad Cave. On the Weeping Peninsula one sits south of the Fourth Church of Marika. Others live near the Revenger’s Shack in Liurnia of the Lakes, along the northwest edges of the Siofra River, in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice, in Gael Tunnel and on the Altus Plateau.

How to beat it

Go for the beak in the middle. Everywhere else your hits do less damage. If you stagger it, you can land a critical hit on the beak.

You can cut off its tentacles, which shortens its reach, but it can grow them back by eating one of its remaining limbs. Staggering it before that healing animation finishes interrupts it.

Lore

These creatures eat humans to feed their pale ovaries. Their young, the land octopuses, carry a lingering warmth that feels like human skin.
