Great Basilisk is an enemy in Dark Souls 2 (DKS2). An imposing Basilisk variant, displaying an enormous size and mottled green skin reminiscent of a chameleon. Despite their formidable appearance, these creatures only attack when provoked, advising cautious distance for non-combatants. Enemies have their own behavior and unique attacks, killing enemies provide various drops that reward players with items and souls.

Great Basilisk Information in Dark Souls 2

An impressive Basilisk specimen of enormous size with mottled green skin like that of a chameleon. Whether these creatures are the result of a divergence in the species' evolutionary line of the product of an Aldian experiment in unclear. They are not actively predatory and will make no attempt to attack unless cornered, so observers not looking for a fight would be wise to give them a wide berth.

• An easy way to get rid of them is to shoot them full of arrows or ranged magic spells - they won't bother to retaliate unless you're close.
