ARACHNOPHOBIA WARNING.

Be sure you wear headphones to appreciate the "skittering."

What other "wall o' death" levels make you shit your pants?

 

[ido]

Pretty much the entire game of Catherine.

 

[Neiteio]

Pretty much the entire game of Catherine.

Ha, I absolutely love Catherine and that's so true. Well, for the Nightmare stages, anyways. Boss stages, in particular.

 

[Warablo]

I honestly can't think of one except for Terraria..

 

[Neiteio]

I believe there was a multiplayer mode in FEAR3 that was literally running from a cloud of black smoke that looked like screaming faces.

Spiders are still creepier.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

The one true king.

 

[ItAintEasy]

There is a game where it starts out all happy and you invert the world and it gets all messed up. Can't remember the name but the bloody wall o death in that game is nutz.

 

[Artorias]

The one true king.

You beat me. The best wall.

 

[Wibblewozzer]

The Lantern Run in Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet put me on edge constantly. I suppose it's not terrifying in a "scary" sense but I was constantly dreading it while getting the two achievements associated to that mode.

 

[B.K.]

 

[Shaanyboi]

Pretty much the entire game of Catherine.

Yup.


Also Limbo

 

[Neiteio]

Yup.


Also Limbo

Limbo's death wall was also a spider:

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Anything involving spiders immediately becomes the worst of any given category.

 

[zerotol]

The one true king.

This is what I was thinking too.

 

[ffdgh]

Hmm would Claire's final boss in RE2 count as a wall of death?

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I found FF XII Demon Wall to be pretty scary. Much more so than the "petty trap" in IV.

 

[Hypron]

The only wall of death I could think of was this one (from Kid Chameleon):

It doesn't really look scary and IIRC it's pretty easy to avoid.

 

[Ultratech]

This:

Shit was devious.

The music made you REALLY want to hurry up.

Limbo's death wall was also a spider:

DKCR gets an arachnophobia warning, but this? Nah, this should be fine...

 

[Wynnebeck]

Catherine. The boss battles made my brain work faster than normal trying to escape the boss.

 

[Neiteio]

DKCR gets an arachnophobia warning, but this? Nah, this should be fine...

LOL, touché!

 

[GhaleonEB]

So glad I'm not the only one who thought of Kid Chameleon.

That wall reminded me of the one in the film Labyrinth, with the drills and blades.

 

[DrBo42]

Cave of Wonders level on Aladdin. SNES version I think.

 

[C4Lukins]

The one true king.

Evil Wall for sure. I am not sure about this Demon Wall nonsense.

 

[Lavapotamus]

I'm generally not afraid of spiders beyond the idea of how black widows and brown recluse could be hiding anywhere and just fuck up a life instantly, but that DKCR level really freaked me out. I think anything with the capability of swarming can scare me, but I never really associated spiders with swarming til I played that stage. I was SO relieved when I finally beat it.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Not really a wall, but Prince of Persia: Warrior Within's Dahaka

Look at that motherfucker

 

[kenjisalk]

Not really a wall, but Prince of Persia: Warrior Within's Dahaka



Look at that motherfucker

jesus h christo this

 

[SneakyStephan]

The water levels in sonic, rising water in some parts and spikes that would send you flying back and down + the constant threat of drowning.

 

[Lord Azrael]

lol Knew which level this was before even entering the topic. Pretty terrifying indeed.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

 

[Kurt]

 

[RagnarokX]

Does this count? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x61FlP1-jKg

One by ASC Games. This level is a dream sequence showing how you escaped from a laboratory before the start of the game. You have to keep destroying these devices to keep a timer from reaching zero and getting a game over. You have to get all of them, only one is active at a time and they go in order. The platforming is very clunky and the camera is terrible. There's also a giant spider boss at the end, but this player cheats to beat it.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Trap Doors from FF4 are the worst...without reflect...you're screwed.

 

[NEO0MJ]

The one true king.

Ha, first thing that came to my mind when I entered this thread. Guess it helps that it's literally a wall.

 

[Creaking]

Reminds me of the spiders in Uncharted 3

Poor quality, unfortunately.

 

[Neiteio]

http://youtu.be/1TqLFM3oCi4?t=38s

Oh, that sequence (and entire level) was excellent!

 

[Thorakai]

This part always made me nervous, that rush to position yourself for the final spin dash doesn't ever go away.

 

[VertPin]

The one true king.

This is so true. I believe I had to go to a save state an hour before to grind and beat this thing. Kept wiping out my characters.

 

[Kurt]

With both games super metroid & castlevania 4 you had a part which is kind a te same as the one of dkc returns. Except the wall rises up instead from left to right.

 

[Creaking]

Oh, that sequence (and entire level) was excellent!

The second encounter when you had to fend them off with a shotgun, I thought, was even better.

 

[Einbroch]

Nah, jk, easiest boss in the game.

 

[Neiteio]

The second encounter when you had to fend them off with a shotgun, I thought, was even better.

I was terrified when the spiders turned up in Syria, as well. First France, and now this!

 

[fallagin]

That whole freaking game is a wall of deah.

 

[ReiGun]

I found FF XII Demon Wall to be pretty scary. Much more so than the "petty trap" in IV.

I found it scary cause I couldn't beat the fucking thing for the longest (pretty much until I figured out quickenings).

 

[Graphics Horse]

There is a game where it starts out all happy and you invert the world and it gets all messed up. Can't remember the name but the bloody wall o death in that game is nutz.

Eversion? That was an odd game.

 

[GotchaForce]

Not the scariest but a fun wall of death game. http://www.pixeljam.com/dinorun/

Yes that's probably my favourite, was thinking about that one.

 

[ItAintEasy]

That's it. That wall o death. So freaky. Comes out of no where.
