I'm making a metroidvania mod. In one of the boss rooms shown below:



there will be big black rods falling from ceiling trapping player in the room. Here's the falling black rod:



My problem is I can't find proper SFX when this big rod thrusts the ground. I'm puzzled in what keyword I should use. Anybody can help?
BTW the falling big rod thrusts the ground concealing its lower part after it hits the ground

As far as a keyword try looking for 'Impacts'

Might need combine sounds to get the effect you want.  it's best to have no more than 3 things to mix together.  Just what is required to be heard.

I would identify 3 parts to this. 

- The impact sound of it hitting the ground.  (thud)

- The debris noise of the dirt and rocks being scattered. 

- The 'movement' of it entering the earth and aftershocks (sub bass/rumble).

What is the rod made of?  If its made from metal i would search for metal impacts or metal hits, etc if you need sound fx and this isnt a commercial game i can help you i have a ton of these kinds of sounds in my sounds library :P

It could be another impact, like a ground impact, mixed with the sound of a sword stabbing.  You should be able to actually find the sound of a sword entering the ground. So try looking for weapon sfx too.  Stabbing sounds etc. might also be under 'Human' categories.

Like esn23 said, if it you don't need them to be royalty free I might have some stuff you can use too. 

Try this for your the spike impact, it's ripped from another game thou.

I'm not a specialist of sounds, but I would suggest mixing up 2 sounds.
-Heavy rock falling
-sword "stabbing" the ground (this sound can be piched down to be more bad*ss)

I just looked for references for this particular sound before to actually send this post, but this is not easy.

IMO a combination of sounds + editing would make it.

Yea I have about 6 gigs of sound effects and a lot of them are from actual movies and games and animes and such so if you need some bloodbane let me know.
