What's the worst boss in all of Souls?

What's the worst boss in all of Souls?

close but

This is the shittiest boss in Dark Souls. This boss is everything bad about Dark Souls bossfights.

>giant monster that attacks by flailing around
>shitty gimmick where you can only attack certain parts of it
>awful hitboxes
>infinitely spawning mobs during the fight
>spits out poison slow shit

Nah, at least it's quite an easy boss, also when he slams his ass you're suppose to throw fireballs at weakspots

covetous demon isn't the worst, it's just very boring and easy
though there is that mechanic where it eats you and unequips your weapons, and also the pots in the room which can either poison him or distract him with the zombies
though since he's rather weak there's not much point

obviously this is easily fixed, they should have just given him an insane amount of health

All of the ones posted so far are pretty bad, but 4 Kings is the worst. It's just a shitty DPS race.

Dukes Dear Freja takes the shit cake for me, or the royal rat vanguard

everything in the demon ruins/bed of chaos is quite bad
ds2 bosses aren't outright bad apart from the rat dog boss, most are just boring though
and in ds3 Champion's Gravetender & Gravetender Greatwolf is shit

>Dragon God
>Red Dragon
>Blue Dragon
>Bed of Chaos
>Hellkite Dragon
>Ancient Dragon

Pick one. From is shit at making dragon battles.

>Sif reskin but with toxic minions

the only saving grace is that it's skippable

>make a dog
>call it a rat

>obviously this is easily fixed, they should have just given him an insane amount of health
Nah, health bloat bosses are cancer when it comes to Souls games. A boss should be a test of skill to see how well you've mastered the mechanics thus far, not a test of resisting the urge to swing wildly in the hopes of ending the boss fight faster because it's getting boring and tedious and shit.

How so? I'ts impossible to reach Tseldora without beating him

He's the royal rat authority, not the royal rat. He's a dog who's the elected official of the rat society

I just can't do it. Reminds me too much of when my dog passed away, especially when he starts limping

>he's a dog who's the elected official of the rat society
Dark Souls really has the deepest lore, I see.

nope, there's two ways to get to that staircase with Gavlan

This one deserves a mention for being super shitty. They decided to copy that dumb rat fight from 2, but then removed 100% of the difficulty by making the one you're supposed to attack super obvious while making all the other guys completely nonthreatening.

Like how do you have a boss fight that's fucking easier to deal with than 90% of the mobs in the game?

Fucking pussy.
Can't even kill a computer dog.

It's fun as fuck imo

What are you talking about?

Sure is fun.

Boss fights don't have to be hard, you know.

Sometimes them being easy may serve a story-telling point.

I'm not saying this is the case, of course.

But, for example, the Congregation boss in Dark Souls 2. It was piss easy, but it's also one of my favorite scenes in the game.

Prowling Magus. Not even a contest

The best boss is hand it over

>boss swallows you, sloshes you around, removes all your clothes and spits you back out

Nice.

It would be hotter if the boss wasn't an ugly piece of shit turd monster, tho.

From the little bit of DaS3 I played the difficulty curve in general was my biggest gripe. DaS1 had a somewhat steep but smooth difficulty curve. With DaS3 it's just all over the fucking place. I remember the knights on the wall, especially the ones equipped with spears being a massive pain in the ass but once you got to the actual boss of the area he was a complete fucking joke.

What kind of fucking weeaboo designed this fucking thing
>So uuuh iss like a wolf
>not like a real wolf that's a scary asshole dis one is all muhjestic n shiet
>also it wields a giant glowing anime sword in it's mouth :))
Fucking awful

The time they wasted on this nonsense could have gone towards making Laurence actually unique.

You can't even call it a filler boss because it doesn't "fill" anything, you fight Maria immediately after. Could have been removed and lost nothing.

Worst boss: the deacons or whatever
Best boss: Velstadt or Burnt Ivory King

...

Bed of Chaos. No contest. Even the devs realized how shit it was and made it the ONLY boss in the series where your progress does not reset upon death.

Best boss is either hand it over or Midir, also known as "one of the only few ragons in vydia"

I got so angry fighting Midir because my usual anti dragon tactics actually made me play worse. And since I was on NG+3 I'd get one shotted by his laser instantly. Oh and his tail, fuck that tail swipe. Still the best dragon fight in the series certainly.

>ragons
more like ur mom is on her rags lol

I like Midir because the twin demons kinda prepare you for him

Sinh is also decent, but he was clearly a prototype for Midir

that one boss in DS3 that's a wizard that makes clones of itself

Stormking, Dragon God, Leechmonger, Dirty Colosus.

Basically every boss after the first 2 of each world in Demon's Souls besides Penetrator and Allant. They were clearly rushed compared to the rest. The fact that Old Monk as a player can use 99 full heals that are nearly instant cast is proof of this.

Meant to say proper dragons

Honestly 4 Kings is the absolute worst boss battle in the series from an objective standpoint.

There are other bosses that are worse to fight like Bed of Chaos or Ceaseless Discharge, but none of the other bosses in the series outright brick the game.

Eventually when you get to a high enough NG+ level, you can't beat 4 Kings anymore, meaning that a major feature of the game is forever locked off specifically because this one shitty ass boss.

4kings are more fun than those bosses

That just sounds like it's you being bad senpai, i've beaten the 4 kangs on ng+7

Yes, but they ruin the NG+ feature. They're the only boss in the series that ruins the NG+ feature.
No other boss disables basic functionality and features in the game after a certain point and renders it unwinnable. So I declare them the shittiest.

okay now do it on 8, 9, 10, and 11

>Stormking, Dragon God, Leechmonger, Dirty Colosus.
I'll give you Leechmonger and Dirty Colossus but Storm King and Dragon God are at least cool spectacles, especially Storm King

This guy is right.

This guy is an exception.

Maiden Astrea

ez

it doesn't go higher than +7

Storm King is the souls equivalent of a turret section.

Gameplay-wise it's not super interesting but using the stormruler feels fucking awesome, and the boss arena and the Storm King itself are pretty cool looking as a setpiece

Fours kings are definitely doable on NG+6, my dude. It just depends on your luck because sometimes they'll spam AoE, magic and grabs, in which case they can be a real pain in the ass. I do agree it's one of the worst bosses in Dark Souls though.

+6 is the highest.

Phalanx.

hah, got him. only fags have emotions, superior beings like yourself are above basic human experiences

Damn right!

The game stops scaling up once you reach ng+7

>feels fucking awesome
I rest my case.

There's also a location in the house you can attack where you can never get hit by Storm King.
Literally a barely tested mess rushed out the door.

She's the cutest!

This tbqh, I was stuck on that boss forever until I cheesed it with iron flesh because I didn't read a guide and was shit at distributing stats

fun fact:
RRA is one of the many nonsensical translations in DS2 and should actually be something like "The Rat King's Test".

Okay prissy princess

Still a shitty boss.

Lubricated for anal penetration :DDDD

4kings
>infinitely spawning mobs during the fight
only during the first phase, which takes like 10-20seconds

...

If your pick isn't from DaS2 then your opinion will be discarded

fpbp
There's stuff like Pinwheel and Covetous Demon for being incredibly easy, Duke's Dear Freja for being annoying to fight against, etc.
But Bed of Chaos was flawed at its core. There was not much you could do to save it.

>Knew about this boss
>Knew the area he was in
>Beat the game and everything else before fighting him cause I couldn't find him
He's kinda tucked away in a corner, it's very easy to go the actual way instead of towards his fight.
Is it really? That does make a lot more sense.

I liked it, mostly cause it was satisfying to beat to a pulp so many of them.

Perfection how will roasties compete?

>this fight with a Cathedral Knight Greatsword
You're not having fun correctly

ネズミの王の試練 is its original name which even Google Translate has no problems with, calling it the Rat/Mouse King's Trial.
It's really just yet another case of the translator fucking up or making things up, like with Flexile Sentry or Harvest Valley.

I really like it. One of the most atmospheric boss fights out there.

I don't know enough about this but aren't the Souls game written in english from the start? As in, the standard version of the game is already in English.

>Oh boy, I reached the top of the castle and there's a fog gate in front of me. After all this I am surely gonna fight the game's equivalent of O&S now
>two of the guy you fought 20 hours ago appear instead

>Island of Dr Monroe vivisected motherfuckers are stronger than the actual Ayyliens

IIRC they are written in Japanese first but the voice acting is based on the English translation.
In fact, the three big guys and gals of the game Vendrick, Nashandra and Aldia actually have different names in the Japanese version: Vanclad, Dunashandra and An-Dil.

What's the flexile sentry's real name?
>attack the blue one randomly while fighting the red one
>80% of his hp gone
okey

Executor of Exile, as in the guy who sends the undead to the Lost Bastille into exile.

That's what I was mixing. I knew the VA was always meant to be english, I guess I just mixed and forgot the actual writing like item description, name of the bosses, etc.

>"The Four Kings"
>go too quick and there's three
>go too slow and there's five

Dark Souls 2 in general is just too many wasted opportunities.

>nobody has said pinwheel yet

pinwheel is actually pretty fun if you go at like sl 10

There's nothing wrong with Pinwheel if you go in there at an appropriate level.
I mean, most players won't, but if you say Pinwheel is the worst boss in the series then you have to say Fools Idol is too, which was also fine.

>infinitely spawning mobs during the fight
There about half a dozen weak enemies lying around and they definitely don't respawn. Other than that this was definitely the worst boss in the game.

...

They are written in Japanese first (including dialogue), then translated into English and recorded. Until BB's goty edition there wasn't Japanese audio, which is odd.

Sometimes you can spot the obviously Japanese sentence structure in English voice lines, and among the cut dialogue found on BB's disk there is some English subtitles, even more dialogue that was never subtitled, and then EVEN MORE dialogue that was only in (written, no audio) Japanese, despite the fact that at that time there was no plans for Japanese dialogue.

Which makes sense. You wouldn't write your early script that no-one else will see in a non-native language.

It made me jump out of my chair so it's okay on my book.

Incredibly good concept, incredibly bad execution

There's definitely more than six enemies at the start, and they definitely keep spawning until the end of the first phase.

I never had problems with 4Kings. As long as you stay in the face of one King, the others will hardly touch you.

I never noticed them spawning. You can take out most of them before the fight even starts and then it's just you and it.

Cursed tree from DaS3
Bed of Chaos
Ceasless Discharge
Ancient Dragon

all garbage

They keep do respawn in the first phase, but I'm not sure if they're finite or not.

Those annyoing rune guards in 2. Not especially hard, not easy, but hella annoying

They keep jumping out of the windows on the sides of the arena.

Guess I never noticed. Plus it's an easy boss and its attacks usually kill the minions so meh.
Ancient Dragon might be the only boss in the entire Dark Souls series I never bothered to fight.

You don't even have to do that. I just take out the Harpe guy on the right and the tree takes care of the rest.
