Egghead maggot bite deals terribly low damage but absurdly large poise damage (100!) making it totally superior when compared to normal kick. Most enemies can be staggered and their guard broken with single bite. Armored players with shield up or very large enemies will require 2 bites. However you will loose half of your souls as long as you have this parasite. So it's good only for completed builds when you need souls for nothing more than purchasing consumables.

Not me thinking egg head looks cute and wearing it during a SL1 pyro playthrough (pyro flame literally only upgrades with souls, 25k for Ornstein and Smough lmao)

Submit

Cursed while having an unevolved egg head is the intended way to play the game

Submit

Imagine if this was a covenant thing, with the objective of getting more and more players with the egg larvae attack (as a grab) and converting them to your side. Would be so fun in invasions, especially if it wasn't limited to the host. You could just infect anyone, even the invader.

Reject humanity, become egg

“I remember in the old tale, the legend said that some dude with an egg on the head roam free around the land of the lord, ring the two bells, shifting various of super weapons idle in the middle of nowhere, the Londo darkend since he came, talked to some mysterious creature and then he disappeared.”

Submit

Can you use the bite attack with weapons that don't have kick animations, like the rapier?

Submit

I love the "unfortunetely"

Submit

Dunno whether i should be glad or disappointed that there isn't any things like this in the later games

Submit

POV:Your homie just became a literal egg head

In my personal opinion, this should have stopped taking souls after evolution, transforming it from a curse into a fun, poise-breaking alternative to the regular kick.

Submit

This, more than just about anything in Dark Souls, makes me want to vomit.

Submit

This is so disgusting, I love it

Submit

This is so disgusting, I hate it

Submit

I'm sad this doesn't give some kind of stat boost and protection. wish it gave a boost to vit and phys resistance after it was leveled up xD
I ALSO wish you could infect NPCs and such.

Submit

Question if I defeated Queelag how do I get the curved sword

Submit

The egg evolves from soul items and kills, and I believe from feeding items to Frampt. Just evolving the egg will not get you a pyromancy flame from Eingyi, you need 11 int. It doesn't seem like you need to even max evolve it, but I haven't tested it. Before it hatched I was able to buy the pyromancies, so likely can get the flame without wasting the time.

Submit

Will the egg evolve by using soul items or just from kills?

Does it alter the size of your head hitbox or negate headshots, or does it do absolutely nothing in this regard? I am suspecting neither, but it would be cool if it "protected your head" or something like that.

Submit

Onde conseguir o vermífugo?

Submit

Wish this could grown inside you and hatch

Submit

After 200k souls does it keep taking half souls?

Submit

playing on item randomizer, decided to get this so i could see what items i would get from him...

"The egg head is removed at any time by consuming an Egg Vermifuge."

*REALIZATION MOMENT*

Submit

Just killed the black hydra in ash Lake on NG+1 with egg head and only got 1 dragon scale? Is that because of the egg head?

Submit

A note about the larvae bite attack - it does considerably more poise damage than the kick. It can do enough poise damage to flinch the Tauros demon in the Undead Burg, as well as doing enough poise damage to the large mushrooms in Darkroot Garden for a handaxe quick attack to cause flinch.

Tested with a level 1 pyromancer.

Submit

I am a kid ho is telling that my twin brother has the egg sack on his head.

Submit

Took me about 6 grabs to be infected

Submit

Dragon body plus egg = horni scalie

Submit

lol eg hed

Submit

I think it would have been cool if you could infect other players, slowly spreading the parasite like the plague

Submit

the real eggheads are Int builds with this

Submit

Now you have 3 eggs :)

Submit

This got me the achievement "Bond of a Pyromancer". Im so close to Platinum Trophies.

Submit

*under usage "pyromancy glove" I think you mean pyromancy flame

Submit

Dose he still sell you the stuff when you remove it?

Submit

Naked egghead, with calamity and dusk crown rings. Bring it on.

Submit

Eggciting! Hope those egg guys won't grap me, eggcept for the time where I want this.

Submit

Does the egg disappear when you die?

Submit

it sucks that the new kick animation doesn't infect other players cause that would make this mechanic more well known and interesting

Submit

This sucks dude I’m still playing og darks souls and I never knew about this I was just chilling on this new character that I made which was one of my favourites, I had killed ornstein last and hit his armour which was a first for me and I got the black knight halberd drop. I went to go kill the 4 kings took me two tries got the dark hand and tried stealing humanity from that egg sack dude in quelaags domain accidentally killed him went outside in the demon ruins get grappled by on of the egg sack guys go to kill ceaseless discharge and right when I enter I have a egg on my head and can’t do anything about it........gotta love dark souls am I right?

Submit

Came for the egg,stayed for the yokes.

Submit

Praise the egg!

Submit

Is the egg a helmet item you can put on like Leeroys headpiece? Or do you need to be infected again with another 100.000 souls toget after getting rid of it?

Submit

So the souls thing is wrong. I've had the egg for around 2 hours now. Haven't lost any souls. I've been killing demons before the izalith door. Also im not getting the worm instead of kick either

Submit

Prettt sure the part about souls isn't true. I normally just go afk when I get infected and let the egg happen. I'm talking just beat qulaag as first boss so 20ksouls max...

Submit

You can use that to buy the cure and than trade this item with the crown and get infinity dragon scales

Submit

Is the new attack the hatched egg gives you any good?

Submit

Cannot infect other players, “UnFoRtUnAtElY”

Submit

Man this guide about this egg head infection is just to eggcellent

Submit

wish that when you cure it it becomes a wearable headpiece

Submit

Wtf... invaded a gravelord on Undead Parrish and got instakilled by an unknown weapon that cursed me and left me with this stupid egghead... Fuck me...

Submit

So do I need to have 100k souls on my person or do I need to just earn 100k over time with the egg?

Submit

Nothing compares to the sensation of a parasite penetrating your frontal lobe!

Submit

I was in the Undead Burg playing for the first time, touched a white sign, got moved to a different place, and I got this + some curse + my weapon broke I believe. Absolutely horrible first experience. If you see a sign, do not touch it, or you will have to delete your character and start over.

Submit

This egg is awesome. Adds a new challenge to the game if you are feeling extra cynical (earn 50% less souls) & this egg is sexy AF.

Submit

if only there were a dragon stone-esque item that let you grapple people. it would deal damage, similarly to the dark hand, but instead of stealing humanity, it infects them with an egg. then, unless they get rid of it, the egg steals 50% of their souls and half of the stolen souls goes to you. upon reaching maturity, the egg starts giving all of the stolen souls to you. it would probably only work if you were a chaos servant, maybe you would need to be at least a cs+1 or even +2, and egg vermifuge would need to become more available because of greifers. maybe add weaker versions that are available earlier on but only work if the egg isnt matured or if the egg hasn't formed yet. Darkwraiths get their theiving gimmick, chaos servants get this one. ikt would make a good way to counter the soul loss from your own egg and would give people a reason to be an egg-bearer ass it would potentially get you massive amounts of souls, or none.maybe it could cost souls to implant the parasite, so it's more of a trade-off for giving someone the parasite. plus, since chaos servants aren't explicitly invaders, you could give invaders to your world, npcs and ai invaders egg heads. the ai characters would surely either cure it or go mad, but they wouldn't go to their original hollowing spots, instead making their way to quelaag's domain. they would be friendly until you betray them by curing yourself, and they would attempt to infect you again by ambushing you at certain locations that they would expect you to be, like petrus would try to get you in the tomb of the giants, griggs in sen's fortress, using his stealth sorceries to sneak up on you, lorentius in the demon ruins, etc. such a massive missed opportunity that resulterd in just a goofy head and silly kick attack at the price of your precious souls. i recommend just using it as fashion once your build is done, otherwise you just waste your souls.

Submit

i guess you could say that this infection is very eggstraordinary

Submit

I got implanted by the Egg and soon, my life turned around. I was just a mad hollow, but now I'm Lord of Cinder and all the hot hollow girls want to touch my +10 Raw Greatsword. Get infected today!

Submit

There is a fast way to evolve the egg. Just do a soul dupe glitch. I recently farm to evolve it out of curiosity, when suddenly the egg evolved at 85 k souls. I remembered i use a soul of a hero and a soul of a brave warrior. Still need confirmation.

Submit

is worth it

Submit

Thanks for this entry. I got invaded and hit by this weapon which cursed me and gave me this egg thing. Thank you so much.
