After finally completing Dark Souls, I can say that it has easily become one of my yêu thích RPGs, and I can not wait for Dark Souls III to come out. There are quite a lot to enjoy about Dark Souls. The combat, the levels, the characters, even the story (Or what incredibly little of a story there is). But I think the best part of Dark Souls has to be the boss battles….. Sometimes. There are some good bosses and there are some… less than spectacular bosses. So, today, I want to share with bạn all the bosses from this game that I like and dislike. Now, of course, this is my opinion. bạn may have a different opinion on these bosses than I do, but just remember. Also, no DLC bosses. No Artorias, no Magnus, and not that one dragon whose name is hard for me to remember. This is my opinion. So, try not to get to angry about this. So, with that said, let’s start the danh sách with the worst bosses (Or at the least, my least favorite)

#5: Chaos Witch Quelaag



Yes, I đã đưa ý kiến it. I do not like the Chaos Witch Quelaag. Everyone online đã đưa ý kiến that Quelaag was a nearly impossible boss that took a lot of time, patience, and determination to beat. Me? I just found the fight boring and took too long. Throughout the fight, Quelaag would constantly spit lava at you, which would stay on the ground for a while before fading, and all bạn could do was just run around her, while she kept swinging her sword. All this fight made me do was wait for a chance to hit her. It could take just a few seconds, but it could also take five minutes. For me, it was usually the latter. I know that this is a very loved boss on the internet, but I just found it boring and kept asking myself throughout the fight “Are bạn dead yet”? Granted, it could be worse….. like the other four.

#4: Pinwheel



Now, what are this boss’s attacks…….. Honestly, I do not know. All I know is that he can copy himself and shoot some magic at you. Other than that, I have no idea what this guy can do. And why is that? Because this is the easiest boss in the entire game, and let me tell you, I never thought I’d have to use the word easy to describe ANYTHING in Dark Souls. But that’s the only thing I can use to describe Pinwheel. He’s pathetically easy. For me, he died in literally four hits. FOUR HITS! With every other boss, I had to strategize my attacks and wait for the right moment to lung lay, swing and dodge just to survive. Not with Pinwheel. I just walked right up to him and went with the genius strategy of hitting him until he died… riveting.

#3: The Four Kings



Honestly, I thought after another boss fight where bạn need to fight thêm than one boss (Will get to that later), I thought the Four Kings would be a lot of fun… I was wrong. Instead, the Four Kings was all kinds of obnoxious. Throughout the fight, they will ngọn lửa, chữa cháy these magic waves at you, which deal a lot of damage, and the worst part is that they do NOT go away and they are heat seeking, so the best thing to do is to just take that magic wave like a man, because if bạn don’t, bạn will never be done with it. And it doesn’t help that the Four Kings constantly comes at bạn with sword and huge magic blasts to harm you. And bạn gotta tình yêu it when the guys gang up on bạn and constantly stab you. It’s just SO much fun. And the worst part is how bạn beat them. bạn have to vòng tròn around them and just stab them when they swing. So basically, bạn gotta get as close as bạn can to the enemy in a game that taught bạn that getting close to the enemy can get bạn killed. What kind of screwed up logic is that?!

#2: giường of Chaos



Oh my god…. bạn seriously can’t screw up a boss as badly as this. The giường of Chaos required bạn to do three different things. bạn need to go and cut off the weak spots on each side of the boss, and then bạn need to kill the boss from inside. However, that’s easier đã đưa ý kiến than done. Getting to the first weak spot isn’t too hard. But after that, it’s all downhill from here. The giường of Chaos will then grow arms and a large magic blade. The giường of Chaos will than begin to swipe at bạn with it’s hands while at the same time trying to stab bạn with it’s blade. And while this is happening, the goddamn floor is falling underneath you, and if bạn fall down that hole, bạn will be rewarded with an instant death. And if that wasn’t bad enough, when bạn die, bạn have to go back to the bonfire that is five phút away right outside of Mất tích Izalith. That means that bạn have to walk through the lave, the tunnel, past the ngọn lửa, chữa cháy breathing goblins, past that big brown thing with the mouth on hàng đầu, đầu trang of it’s head, and down the slide just to get another shot. And after bạn destroy the một giây weak spot, bạn then have to actually fall down the damn hole. So basically, bạn now have to jump down a hole, which before this, would result in your death. And it still will if bạn miss the branch. And once you're finally inside the giường of Chaos, what is the boss's true form? A larva….. that dies in one hit……. Did I mention that this is the dumbest and most disappointing fight in the game?

#1: Capra Demon



Screw this boss. Screw this goddamn boss. There is no good thing about this boss. He sucks no matter what bạn do. This could either be an incredibly annoying fight hoặc one of the easiest in the game. It could be annoying because bạn are được trao no warning before the Capra Demon rushes at bạn and kills you. Not to mention, his machetes do a one hit kill. And if bạn can dodge that attack, you’d better watch out for the two demon chó he has, which will attack bạn right after he’s done. So not only do bạn need to worry about his one hit kill swipe, but bạn also need to watch for the dogs. And since bạn are in such a small area, dying is not that hard. But, like I said, this can also be incredibly easy, because if bạn run up the stairs, the Capra Demon will be too slow to catch up for a bit, giving bạn enough time to kill the dogs, and if bạn fall once the Capra Demon is at the top, he will follow and be stunned for a bit, giving bạn enough time to strike before bạn repeat the process again. This boss was such a useless pile of crap, that they actually reused this guy again as just an enemy in the Demon Ruins. That’s how much this guy sucks. I had thêm fun fighting the damn Hydra, and that was a mini-boss. When the mini-boss is thêm fun than a real boss, bạn failed miserably.

Okay, now, with that out of the way, it is time for us to di chuyển on to the better bosses in this game

#5: Asylum Demon



Sure, some may say that the Asylum Demon is very easy. Sure, he’s not as pathetic as Pinwheel (Thank god), but he is still very easy. However, he is hard enough to give the player a challenge. First time bạn meet him, bạn aren’t supposed to fight him. bạn have to run away and try to avoid dying. This is because bạn don’t have a weapon. And bạn NEED one. When bạn meet him again, that is when the real fight starts. What I like best about this boss is that it sets the player up for bosses in a way that is easy to learn, but still has that Dark Souls challenge to it, letting bạn know that this is as simple as it gets with this game, so be prepared. Sure, he’s no (Insert later boss on this danh sách here), but hey, I like the challenge…… I just wish they didn’t recycle this boss…… TWICE!

#4: Gaping Dragon



There are two ways that this game tries to instill fear from the bosses to the player. The first and most obvious, difficulty. And trust me, we’ve seen that a lot bởi this point. And then…. there’s design… And the Gaping Dragon has plenty of those designs. OH MY GOD, look at this thing. A dragon would have been bad enough, but now, this thing has a mouth FILLED with sharp teeth. Jaws would be jealous. Not to mention, the fight is pretty fun. Though… it’s a bit too simple. Just dodge his charge attack, strike, and avoid his slam attack. I heard he had an attack where he vomits and it damages your armor, but in my playthrough, I never experienced this fight. So what makes it so good. Obviously. The thiết kế is freaking terrifying. And I can tell they were going with that kind of design. And that’s what I like best about the Gaping Dragon. His thiết kế made what was just a usual fight for me so much thêm fun. I would have been pretty bored if it wasn’t for this boss being so well designed. Even the worst bosses have great designs….. Can’t say that saved their boring, frustrating, and just awful fights, though.

#3: Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough



Throughout the game, bạn have gotten used to focusing on one-on-one boss fights (Except with the Gargoyles and that crappy Capra Demon fight). bạn have been learning hard to do your best when fighting bosses and would do you’re hardest to beat them… so naturally, when we all came across Ornstein and Smough, we all got our asses kicked. What makes this so much harder is that bạn now have to fight two bosses at once. And I mean two full bosses. With the Gargoyles, the một giây boss didn’t come until later in the fight and their health was halved. And that Capra Demon just used enemies. Not Ornstein and Smough. They are both fully formed bosses with a totally filled health bar, and they do not mess around. They both have different strategies for fighting. Ornstein is not as strong, but is so much faster and uses electricity, whereas Smough is slower, but a much heavier hitter and can reach thêm distances thanks to his size. So, after bạn kill one, you’d think that would make the fight easier….. Right? Oh, I wish. No, if bạn kill one, not only do bạn greatly piss off the other, but they become even stronger. If Smough dies first, Ornstein will pray to his soul and will grow to the size of Smough, giving him the same strength and reach like Smough. If Ornstein is defeated, Smough will just straight up kill him to take his electricity power. Oh, and if bạn die, bạn have to do the whole fight over again. But trust me, the satisfaction bạn get from beating this boss is so incredible, that it makes this boss fight so incredible.

(WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE GAME’S FINAL BOSS)

#2: Gwyn, Lord of Cinder



Throughout the entire game, bạn have been ringing bells, collecting souls, and dying and being revived, you’d think bạn were in a Happy cây Những người bạn episode (... Why did I make that reference). But when bạn make it to the final area, The Kiln of the First Flame, bạn will see that it is filled with ashes and burned stone. And when bạn make it to the end, what bạn will find is Gwyn. Throughout the game, bạn were made to believe that he was a large god like deity with immense strength. Instead, he is a man the same size as you, who is weakened from giving his soul to the flame. And in the fight, he is easily the most aggressive boss fight in the game, hitting bạn with his hardest and fastest attacks. bạn NEED a good shield for this fight, cause he will drain your stamina fast in this fight. However, throughout the fight, the âm nhạc isn’t some epic âm nhạc giving off the final battle. Instead, it is a very soft and saddening theme, emphasizing Lord Gwyn himself as a man who used his soul to keep the First Flame lit for a short time, and trying to keep bạn from putting it out (Which bạn actually can do in one of the endings, just to make it even thêm depressing). I have to say, for a final boss, it’s not bad.

Before we get to number one, I should talk about the other bosses from the game. Why? Cause shut up. Let’s do this.

Taurus Demon



Very threatening and a good challenge. Though, with the Pin Resin bạn get a few phút before, he’s kinda easy. Even easier if bạn kill the archers on the tower behind bạn first.

Ceaseless Discharge (Gross)



Pretty easy and very interesting on how he attacks you, after stealing the treasure on a dead body (Theorized to be his dead sister), but a bit too slow. Also, running to the exit for him to jump at the ledge, making bạn stab his arm is very well thought out

Seath the Scaleless



Too dull and boring, and that cursed spike attack can go straight to hell

Moonlight Butterfly



A lot like the number one boss, only not as cool. I still do like how they made is saddening that bạn are killing a creature whose trang chủ bạn are invading. Very well done

Gargoyles



A pretty interesting fight…. I JUST WISHED THEY WOULDN’T FREAKIN’ JUMP ME!

Iron Golem



A very threatening looking fight at first, and very annoying when he keeps knocking bạn off the ledge…. And then bạn realize that he can’t stand a stab in the ankle and then he becomes a cry baby and falls on the ground taking a rest… Hey, that should be a new thing. I used to be a threatening boss, until I took a sword to the ankle…. On một giây thought, that really sucks. Forget about that

con rết Demon



I understand how he could have been threatening, what with the lava and the lunging attacks…. But I had a phantom helping me, so it was kind easy. Fun, but easy

Gravelord Nito



If bạn can look past the annoying skeletons that help, than this is a pretty fun boss fight. I really do enjoy rushing at him and stabbing him… even though he took slightly thêm hits than the Asylum Demon. Also, Nito’s thiết kế belongs on a Metal album cover

Hydra



Is this a boss? A mini-boss, sure, but a boss? Well…… That hole tiếp theo to him can go to hell….. and I really hated that water attack he shot at bạn before bạn could even see him through the trees…. And the Ice Golem things were really unnecessary- Are bạn sure this is a boss

Hellkite Dragon



Again, is this a boss? Well…. at least killing him was satisfying, what with this guy dominating the bridge most of the game.

As for Gwyndolin and Priscilla, I’m not a heartless monster, so I never tried to attack them. And I don’t want to post anymore pictures because I’m almost at my image limit. So, let’s di chuyển on to number one. And for those who have played Dark Souls… bạn all know who it is.

#1: Great Grey Wolf, Sif



I tình yêu this boss… It’s perfect. This boss fight perfectly describes Dark Souls in a way I didn’t think was possible. Where do I start (The fight itself, obviously). Sif jumps around the area as much as possibly, wielding a giant sword in it’s mouth to lung lay, swing at bạn with. You’d better have a good shield and lot’s of stamina for this fight, because let me tell you, it’s quite the challenge. And trying not to lose stamina during this fight, timing the right time to strike to avoid a huge sword to the face is very satisfying…. until bạn get him down to one health box. Once Sif is almost dead, he will begin limping, looking injured as he continues to fight, despite that he swings his sword in a much weaker way and can barely stand. And when bạn finally kill him, bạn may notice that, unlike the bosses before, bạn do not feel satisfied. Instead, bạn feel empty, like bạn did something wrong. And indeed, bạn did. Sif is nothing like most of the bosses in the game. Some of the bosses fight to protect something of theirs because they are not willing to give it to a human, while others attack bạn just for their own sadistic reasons. Sif is nothing like that. Sif only wishes to protect the grave of Artorias, who died protecting Sif years ago. Now Sif sits bởi Artorias’s grave to protect it, and seeing as bạn wish to rob the grave obviously isn’t something Sif wants. He doesn’t want to fight, but since bạn wish to steal from Artorias’s grave, he has no choice but to stop you. And what makes it thêm heartbreaking is that killing Sif isn’t an option. bạn HAVE to do this in order to beat the game. And what I think is the best part about this boss fight is that this shows bạn that this isn’t just a game where bạn can be a cool and powerful knight, killing everything in your way. This shows that their are consequences for killing something. Sure, the Moonlight con bướm, bướm did it first, but Sif did it better. It shows that Dark Souls isn’t a game that is happy in the slightest. This is a game about the world ending, people dying, and when the endings themselves are bittersweet, no matter which bạn choose, it’s amazing that out of all of this, Sif is the saddest it gets. And that is what I think makes this the best boss fight in Dark Souls. Can they hàng đầu, đầu trang it in Dark Souls III? Who knows?

well, there bạn have it. Did bạn enjoy the list? Tell me what bạn thought of it. With that said, I will see bạn all tiếp theo time
