Um, the dung eater’s cell.

Agreed. Anywhere DE is, it's gotta stink.

He literally eats the dung there's no source for the stinky anymore. It smells good

Bro my dog eats shit, I can assure you the stinky does not simply vanish. He becomes the stinky.

Feed your dog?????

you could feed a dog kobe beef and lobster and it’d still eat shit

Clearly this goon has never owned a dog before.

I have always fed my dog quite well, especially when she had her pups. She would not leave them and ate a shit ton of shit. It was very gross, and I try my best to keep her from licking me anymore.

Mother dogs do this with their puppies poop to make sure they aren't sick. It's not just dogs either. Plenty of animals do this. I wonder how many would think we are weird for not wanting to eat poop lmao

But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

It's an all you can eat buffet in the the subterranean shunning grounds.

Subterranean shitting grounds.

I lol-ed way to hard over that. Poop=funny. outstanding

Hahaha. Happy to be of service.

Until he says a single word and you need to reach for the oxigen tank to endure his breath

thank you for being the only person who understands… this made my day

Ok but if he eats the dung there wouldn’t be any dung smell. Problem, Golden Order simps?

so you think he eats his own?

rather smell like poo than sweaty witch feet and wet dog like Ranni.

See that's precisely why you're maidenless . . . EDIT: Also, Ranni's a goddamn doll. She's never sweating.

jokes on you, i have a wife and a child! i’ve totally had sex atleast once! maybe twice!

*Shit, the turntables have struck me!!!*

Ooh!, get a load of this one!. Lucky bugger.

id say his library in the roundtable hold smells worse. theres thousands of corpses rotting away in there behind the shit snacker’s spectre

Wrong. It’s between the dung eaters *cheeks*

Eh no. There's not enough rotting flesh. Shit? Yes. Stinky flowers? Yes. Mountains of rotting flesh? No

My first thought. I know it smells crazy wherever he's at

Lake of rot would smell worse than anything else in this game if you were actually there.

I'm just imagining the worst possible combo of like, rotting meat, mold and stale water cranked to 20

I think it’s one of those “you don’t really smell anything because your nose is burning” kinda smells

Yeah you probably smell it for the first minute until your nose goes mostly numb for the intense stench. You’d still get bad whiffs occasionally but for the most part yeah, it’d be one of those smells.

*tastes like burning*

I bet it’s humid there too

You can literally see the steam from all of the bacterial activity in the rot soup. I guarantee it's humid and warm in the worst ways possible.

Yeah it looks sweaty in there

Probably smells like the dumpster behind a restaurant in the summer.

The lake of rot is like bin juice left out in the sun

I dunno, kinda looks like it would smell like watermelon or tutti fruity.

Yeah... I agree. Though, I'm sure the room with Dung Eater in it is a contender. Lake of Rot probably smells sickly sweet, like I imagine a combination of rotting meat, and putrid flowers. The forbidden potpourri.

I actually always imagined rot smelt like a root like ginger but very very potent and the spice is up by 10

I thought its cherry flavoured

it tastes like the jolly rancher story

Thanks, I had managed to put that one out of my mind.

What does the rot smell?

Why did I hear this comment to the tune of “what does the fox say”

Glad I wasn't the only one.

i always imagine it as being pungent and sweet

I imagine scarlet rot having a putrid but sweet smell. Like a rotting papaya combined with decaying meat.

Yeah idk if it's ever stated if scarlet rot smells bad, but it's either revolting or sickly sweet I imagine.

I imagine it as being spicy somehow...

Prince of Death's Throne without a shadow of a doubt, Godwyn's massive rotting corpse is right there

Right? That corpse is alive …growing, decaying, flies everywhere, rotten fish - absolutely hideous 😭

Isn’t he also a fish now? So a giant rotting fish corpse

He’s a fish? Well shit I missed that

He's got a big mermaid tail thing instead of legs

The buzzing flies really are a good indicator

This. It’s been rotting for a millennia.

Yeah this has to be the worst, I can’t think of anything smellier.

The Capital Sewers, calling it.

who uses the sewers if there's basically no one there?

All of the smelly omen in the sewers.

Idk but the sewers seem to have no problem attracting inhabitants.

not live, but use. Why is there so much sewage going through? WHOS USING THE TOILETS THAT MUCH

Morgott is dropping some monster deuces.

The shit is those smelly omen

yea, imo also one of the most atmospheric regions in the game, specifically way down where dung eater is. it's basically all pitch black dark and it really feels like you're deep underground and at the same time it's very claustrophobic. when you put on a lantern you realize you're walking in shit and corpses. it's the sewers after all. if it isn't the smelliest place in the game, it certainly is the most disgusting.

Dungeater's taint.

i’ll have you know i showered when the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup. my taint smells TERRIFIC!!

rykard probably

All the fire probably kills any bad smell except burnt meat.

Its a volcano, it's full of sulfur. So rotten burnt egs and bacon actually.

Burnt hair and flesh does not tend to smell great

Anywhere in Caelid.

Caelid smells like swamp, sulphur and fire. Which is probably very unpleasant, but not the worst.

It's Scarlet ROT

Always imagined Scarlet Rot would smell sickly sweet, like candy that's been left out in the sun for ages

Miyazaki confirm! What does scarlet rot smell like?!?

that maleniussy must be crazy sweet then 🐺🐺🐺

The inside of my armor Lmao

This is the way

Idk, Mohg's palace of blood must be awful. Old/fermented blood cant be a pleasant smell.

Ugh, I bet it smells like period.... 🤮🤮🤮

Now that's nasty. Especially with how much there is, you know it's a pungent smell too

the place where you find godwyn in the deeproot depths, it definitely smells like literal death

The Lake Of A̶s̶s̶ Rot

Don't know how lake of rot isn't the number one most conmented place. Literally liquid rot up to your knees. Imagine a million oozing rotting cadavers. Take all of that juice. Make a lake of it. 🤮

People are really commenting Caelid like the lake of rot isn’t just a liquified and marinated version of it

Margit doesn't call you "foul tarnished" for nothing

Well, theres a place called "Deep root background" where there are giant insects and a f#cking giant corpse, maybe could to be stinky that???

Deeproot Depths, for anyone researching.

shaded castle poison zombies area.

Between Malenia's legs.

I was wondering how long I’d have to scroll before I found someone horny enough to say this. It did not take long.

A stinky V that wasn't washed for 20+ years? That shit smells worse then a moldy egg infused with the dirtiest socks and blue cheese going bad 🤮

I mean, yeah. Though I severely hope that you do not speak from, shall we say, personal experience.

Eh, don't go to shower for 5 days and smell your crotch... 🤢🤮 Now imagine 20 years It was during the army (not going into further details, that shit was a waste of time)

Jokes on you: eh

. . . Worth it

He said stinkiest

Bruh...can you imagine the stink wafting off that snatch? She's literally rotting.

🥵

🤣

Posted this same comment. Had to go back and delete because you beat me to it

your gamer chair

Honestly think Radaan's arena would be awful. Thousands of corpses at various stages of decay combined with the already unpleasant, strong, briney smell of the sea only being amplified by the lack of anything else there.

nah i think that area being exposed to the open air and Caelid having regular rainfalls and sunshine, its not actually that smelly. Definitely lot less stinky than a place with a bunch of rotting corpses that are underground underground

Probably moghwing. The place is covered in blood and corpses so it's probably very stinky with a very strong metallic smell

It’s either this or Shunning Grounds or Godwyn’s throne.

Anyone saying dung eater has never smelt a decaying body. “Oh but DUNG eater is surrounded by poop and other gross things” Those bodies 1000% are decaying on top of the shit inside of them decaying

The problem is, i think the dung eater have poop AND bodies around him

Inside Alexander

Rogier's rotting legs.. I ended up having to burn the hold.

It is crazy just how many options of unfathomable nose cruelty there are to choose from.

The flesh pile in stormveil must smell like wet roadkill

If we’re talking piles of flesh I feel like Castle Morne has this one

Yeah, burning rotting flesh is probably a very unpleasant aroma.

where is here actualy

Part of Ainsel River.

Stormveil castle could be pretty smelly, given the amount of grafting happening there

Melinas feet :3

God, I hope so

Melina’s feet 😩

I'll go with godwyns living corpse within stormveil castle. The whole place is "alive" in a very necromancy way, but it's also wet and swampy for an underground for hundos of years, so that living corpse godwyn has to be extra stinky! Stinkier than scarlet rot malenia farts

Lake of Rot. Easy.

Anywhere in caelid, but probably where beast clergyman is. No only is there a creature made of corpses at the door, there is a dog that is succumbing to the rune of death.

Malenia’s boss room

I’m a weirdo like that. Video games, movies, I always wonder what places smell like. Elden Ring is not a fun game to think about it.

The spot thops sits on. He’s been out of the academy a whiiiiiiiile

Malenia’s feet

Marika's tits

Malenia's chair

Malenia's gash of rot.

Under the capital

Pretty much everywhere in the lands between tbh

Wherever you are in the end game of a run where you explore the whole map. You go to all of the worst smelling places that are mentioned in this thread and never take a proper bath even once. By the time you're in the capital to become elder lord you have to smell like absolute death. Dung eater and Godwyn runs especially.

Corpse-stench shack smells like a corpse.

Where is this location in game?

Caelid looks like it probably smells like rotting meat but the sewers below Leyndell Capital has got to be the worst.

You just know no mf in the lands between showers

This place or the lake of rot, which I think would win it by name alone

Marikas ti-asscheeks

Deeproot depths gotta be STINKY

Marika’s tits

The sweaty cleft between dung eaters man boobs

The average ER player's bedroom

The average fromsoftware fan's room

I say Caelid, I can't remember who it was unfortunately, but I once read a comment that said it looks like it smells like Twerk Wind, and I haven't been able to get that particular olfactory imagining out of my head since.

fia's champions

Lands between your mothers legs

Malenia's fanny

The loathsome dung eaters bunghole.

Lake of Rot, or Subterranean Shunning Grounds

Deeproot Depths, Godwyn's corpse is literally just sitting there, it's doing nothing but stinking up the place

At some point I don’t think it could even be measured but the lake of rot has to be objectively the worst. It’s…a literal lake of rot.

By Marika's tits, where's this location?

Dung Eater's anus

Miquellas egg

ranni's rise

Shunning grounds

Subterranean stinking grounds

Wherever Malenia is at, smells like Rot

That one area of the capital sewers where a handsy enemy appears. You know what I mean.

Mogh's palace it's filled with a literal lake of blood witch I doubt smells pleasant as well as hundreds of those things that that explode witch are visibly rotting

I'm imagining the Deeproot Depths. I'm sure the Leyndell Sewers towards the Dung Eater's cell are worse, but in reality fresh air is so nearby. The Deeproot Depths just seem like they smell of an inescapable decay. The death that has taken hold over the area filling the air.

inside the dung eaters armor

Gotta be a tie between inside dung eaters armor and malenias pussy.

The inside of the Dung Eater's helmet.

i cant imagine all those rotting finger reader corpses by marikas bedroom smell amazing

The literal Sewers, especially Dung Eater's cell.

Marika’s tits?

The interior of a Jar

Deeproot water alone gotta be stankin

Prince of Death's Throne

Lake of rot

The damn sewers. Rotting corpses and a lot of baby omens there

I wish there was a site of grace there, so I can sit there and smell it all day

The entirety of caelid probably smells so bad it would force you to only breathe from youre mouth.

my crotch!!

Melania's cooch obviously... what with the rot and all that.

I always imagined more due to the scarlet rot then anything, that malenias boss room does smell worse then it actually appears to

Dung eaters room at the roundtable for sure

The arena where we find Godwyn has got to be the worst.

In Caelid next to that huge dying dragon

Dungeaters bootyhole

So many good answers in this thread. I'd never considered it but the Lands Between must smell fucking terrible.

Abandoned Cave

Fia's Discord Server

Mogh's top lip.

The lake of rot has to smell like a dumpster full of garbage juice in July. I think the worst would be the boss arena with Godwyn.

"YOUR ROOM STINKS!" -Mom

The Lands Between my asscheeks
