Dark souls bosses reviewed very briefly
Nothing here!
9 Games
Asylum demon : easy on replays but cool tutorial boss for a first playthrough
Taurus demon : ok but teaching the plunging attack is kinda redundant
Capra demon : don't listen to contrarians this boss sucks
Gargoyles : asylum demon 2.0, not as hard as they seem but good teaching tool about how to fight multiples
Gaping dragon : sick design, pretty dull otherwise and his charge having no tells is frustrating
Quelaag : big titties mommy milkers 11/10 goat boss I kneel, cool fight too
Sif : meh mechanically but great everywhere else
Iron golem : making him fall is funny but outside of that he kinda sucks
O&S : best boss in the game, many souls clones tried to copy the formula and all failed to this very day
Moonlight butterfly : probably not that bad as a mage but I'm not a hipster
4 kings : probably a nightmare as a mage but strength builds kinda shit on them
Stray demon : asylum demon with an explosion that has a broken hitbox
Firesage demon : fire stray demon
Ceaseless discharge : he's funny and that's it
Centipede demon : this guy is lucky to be in the same game as bed of chaos
Bed of chaos : fuck off
Seath : L+Ratio+u skinny+Midir better+you a fake duke+Gwyn dickrider
Priscilla : mommy milkers 2.0 but I needed your tail to make it a dakimakura
Gwyndolin : he's good if you like cardio, I don't
Pinwheel : cool mechanics but no one will see them
Nito : the fall damage is bullshit but he's one of the better versions of the boss that add minions archetype
Gwyn : the most iconic 3 notes of gaming, if you can parry you win
Taurus demon : ok but teaching the plunging attack is kinda redundant

Gwyn : the most iconic 3 notes of gaming, if you can parry you win
Sactuary guardian : this is a message from the DLC itself : welcome, our bosses will rampage your ass until you get good at dodging. They also put 2 if you come back just to tell you this thing is just a very agressive ad
Artorias : I can't make a joke this is a pure 1v1 fight in all the right ways
Kalameet : this fight is very good but significantly worse if you try to cut his tail
Manus : a DS3 boss put in DS1, I wish I could like him more but his magic is too annoying if you don't have the silver pendant (i.e if you don't play with a guide). Still a very good boss

Last Giant : boring
Pursuer : cool first fight but his health doesn't scale with your weapon upgrades so he's super easy later on
Dragonrider : making him fall off is funny but he's just a normal enemy with a health bar
Old dragonslayer : Ornstein fell off fr fr fr
Flexile sentry : he's cool, mace side is piss easy
Ruin sentinels : decent, fuck the spin attack tho
Gargoyles : what if they were 5 ?
Lost sinner : she's ok, you can't go wrong with human sized bosses
Executionner's chariot : cool concept, boring boss
Skeleton Lords : better than what people say, cleaving through tons of enemies is fun even if this goes against the dark souls formula, ost slaps too
covetous demon : they put a heckin chonker redditors finally made it into the Dark Souls series
Mytha : Pretty meh without the poison, impossible with
Royal rat vanguard : This is just an average day in Paris
Royal rat authority : fuck you
Rotten : cool design, ok boss
Najka : 10/10 for goth titties but unlike Quelaag she's not a good fight
Prowling Magus : the typical Dark Souls II boss : cool idea, terrible execution
Duke Dear Freya : Kinda bland
Smelter demon : his attacks are cool but his hitboxes are broken
Old Iron King : the hole in the arena is harder than him
Looking glass : didn't age well like all pvp bosses but he's still really cool
Demon of song : carried by his visuals

Ancient dragon : how do you make fighting a giant dragon boring ?????
Darklurker : very good boss with the most asinine requirements to even fight them
Giant lord : boring
Vendrick : cooler than Gwyn thematically, way worse mechanically
dragonrider x2 : reskin and still piss-easy
Throne watcher : what if ornstein and smough were mid and dumb
Nashandra : not enough titties and she's ugly, the fight sucks too
Aldia : cool concept, bad execution, SOTFS just wanted to reinforce the logic for this game

Sinh : finally a good dragon boss
Gank squad : fuck off
Sinh : finally a good dragon boss
Gank squad : fuck off
Smelter demon : what if he was blue and had a shittier runback
Fume knight : overrated but still great
Sir Alonne : Best DS2 boss unless he does DS2 hitboxes things, you all know about the runback

Sir Alonne : Best DS2 boss unless he does DS2 hitboxes things, you all know about the runback
Ava : alright
Lud and Zallen : the guillotine should be brought back for whoever made the frigid outskirts
Ivory King : it's just ok mechanically but the concept is so cool

Ivory King : it's just ok mechanically but the concept is so cool
Ludex Gundyr : the best tutorial boss, second phase kinda sucks tho
Vordt : he's not that bad mechanically, he's a cool boss
Greatwood : too passive to be interesting really and I swear he has some weird hitboxes
Crystal Sage : boring
Deacons : Skeleton Lords but way cooler, still easy outside of gimmicky shit like crossbow only runs
Abyss Watchers : super cool fight, thanks 3rd Abyss Watcher you're the goat
Old Demon King : Interesting attacks, cool boss but maybe should be in an earlier area
Wolnir : worst boss in the game despite how cool he looks, shame !
Pontiff : super cool boss, probably easier if I could parry but I'm bad
Champion Gundyr : DEFINITELY easier if I could parry but he's still an amazing boss and I definitely came out of this fight a better player
Yhorm : Wolnir but harder, doing it with Onion Bro and 2 storm rulers is still kino
Aldrich : dull and boring
Ancient Wyvern : bad gauntlet and shit ennemies, you're better off running away from all that and just do the plunge attack hoping it doesn't bug
Nameless King : fuck the phase 1 camera, phase 2 is probably the best boss in the series tho
Dancer : Humanoids once again being the best type of fights
Dragonslayer armour : would be one of the best fights in DS1 or 2 but here it's just not as good as the rest but it says more about the rest.
Oceiros : all bark no bite
Princes : probably the best ost in the series so far, the boss is also really good
Soul of cinder : It was the best way to end the series then Gael came and was even better than this already great boss
Vordt : he's not that bad mechanically, he's a cool boss
Greatwood : too passive to be interesting really and I swear he has some weird hitboxes

Champion gravetender : NPC bosses are bad and adding wolves and diet Sif doesn't make them better
Friede : I'm conflicted because this is a very good boss but the invisibility on phase 3 doesn't match with that loud music. She's also a tad too agressive for my taste, maybe a lighter build works better but it's tricky to land a single hit. Still great but I don't think she's as good as Sulyvahn or Gael

Demon prince : kino raw GOAT swag best demon boss in the series and best multiple outside of O&S
Midir : fuck his laser, tough as shit but more due to stats than mechanics. This is a mix of Ancient dragon, Kalameet and Sinh in all the right ways
Halflight : booooooring
Gael : I actually thought Vergil wasn't my favourite boss anymore, he's that good. Best souls boss I would buy a game where you do nothing but fight him.
