One fan of developer From Software’s incredibly eerie action-RPGDark Souls 3models their own Halloween costume after the game’s creepy Jailer enemy.
Naturally, plenty ofDark Souls 3fans know that the most recent entry in the action-RPG franchise contains plenty oftwisted and scary boss baddiesthanks to the talented designers and developers at From Software. So, with Halloween being right around the corner, it would make sense for gamers to use the title as a source of inspiration for costumes to frighten the pants off of anyone who dares glance their way.
Interestingly enough, the Redditor andDark Souls 3fan going by the handle Weeperblast recently decided to use the game as an influence for their outfit for the spookiest holiday of the year by making a costume based on the Jailer enemy from the Irithyll Dungeon area. As a matter of fact, the Redditor painstakingly crafted every piece of the outfit himself, with the final tally for his materials totaling out to be $80 in all.
As seen in the gallery below, it’s obvious that Weeperblast put plenty of effort into his Halloween outfit for this year. To put it all together, he made use of an assistant priest’s robe from the Order of the Oddfellows, a black balaclava, a silver face mask, his own home made pair of light-up goggles for the glowing eyes, a cone cap with a triple-tiered black silk train, black gloves, a mesh cowl, a branding iron, and finally, his simulacrum of the lantern which drains players' HP in the game.
While most folks can agree that Weeperblast’sDark Souls 3Jailer get-up is easily one of the creepiest costumes inspired by gaming in recent memory, one doesn’t have to take the sinister route when it comes to Halloween outfits. In fact, it’s safe to say that plenty ofDestinyfans will be attempting a successful ensemble similar tocosplayer Fred Props' Exo Hunterfrom a while back.
Should one be more inclined to celebrate Halloween with frightening attire, though,Dark Souls 3has plenty of other terrifying enemies worthy of being used for a costume. For instance, there are simplistic creatures like theskeletons in the catacombsthat would work well with the holiday’s theme. However, should fans want some duds that are a bit more complex and daunting to make, they could always look to the action-RPG’s bosses for inspiration, likePontiff Sulyvahn.
Of course, with Halloween only being several days away, if fans have not put together their costumes yet, in the interest of time, they would surely be better off taking a simpler approach by avoiding the intricately designed creatures ofDark Souls 3. Should one be in this situation, perhaps going as one of theSuper Mario Bros.would be the easiest solution.
Dark Souls 3is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
