I do have to give From Software credit for naming a boss something as imposing as Dragon God and actually making the boss look like he could indeed be the God of all dragons. Still, there’s just nothing much more here than some magic missile dodging and quick beatdowns. The chapel setting for the Fool’s Idol fight is much more enjoyable than Pinwheel’s domain, however, and at least Fool’s Idol does put up something resembling a fight. Both are fairly lazy magic wielders that really don’t inspire many Souls players to praise the brilliance of their fights. You know, Fool’s Idol isn’t really that much different from Pinwheel. Lazily floating around the room and occasionally making a copy of himself, Pinwheel is the only Dark Souls boss that seems like he can’t wait to die. This sorcerer looks like any regular enemy but puts up less of a fight than most them. This largely immobile blob of waste doesn’t put up much of a fight regardless of your character build and the entire time fighting it is spent in a dingy brown environment that perfectly clashes with the rest of the series design philosophy of bleak, but beautiful.īut so long as we’re here, I’d just like to say the major failing of Pinwheel is how painfully easy and generally unimposing he is. It should be noted that nothing from this point on is quite so bad as the previous two bosses who almost received a separate tier of their own. That being said, Leechmonger is essentially the Soulsseries’ Great Mighty Poo without the singing or humor. Even then, there’s not really a lot of them in the grand scheme of things. Among a series of regular rat enemies is the one rat you have to kill in order to beat this “boss.” There is nothing special about these rats besides the fact that there’s a lot of them. That may sound obvious, but apparently, it wasn’t, as that’s exactly what Royal Rat Vanguard is. You know what’s a good idea for a Dark Souls boss? Anything but a bunch of rats. It’s the part of the game you’ll dread coming back to the most and contributes nothing to what is otherwise one of the greatest games of all-time. I mean at least it would be if Bed of Chaos wasn’t such a blight on the series.īed of Chaos is an uninspiring boss that still manages to frustrate even the most hardcore of Dark Souls players, thanks to its series of frustrating and unenjoyable combat elements. ![]() You know, it’s almost kind of an honor to be named the worst Dark Soulsboss of all time. With that out of the way, here’s every Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls boss, ranked. Second, these rankings are based on many things, but they ultimately came down to the feeling that these bosses left and how excited they leave you at the thought of doing battle against them again, tough as they may be. That means no encounters with unique enemies you meet along the way that don’t have their own boss health bar or other identifiying elements. First off, it only includes full “proper” boss fights. It shows us the tremendous creative scope of these games as well as re-affirms that the legacy of the Dark Souls series is so great that even the “worst” bosses from the franchise are ones that you can probably dig up memories of if you think hard enough.īefore we dive into that, though, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when looking at this list. It’s a daunting task to rank all of those bosses, but attempting to do so reveals something quite important about these revolutionary titles. Indeed, there are some bosses which conjure a sense of dread that has little to do with their intimidating presence. While so many of those bosses are simply just a few rungs below the heaviest hitters, others conjure the opposite memories of the best bosses in the franchise. There are bound to be some that simply don’t meet the expectations set by the greatest foes in the series. Call it the price of doing business when you traffic in so many epic encounters. You know there’s a way out, but how?Īs great as the bosses from this franchise are, though, they are not created equally. No, the bosses of these games are more like puzzle boxes you suddenly find yourself trapped in. The bosses of Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls are designed to be more than mere roadblocks meant to slow down your march towards the end credits. ![]()
