With the release Elden RingOur minds turn to our experience with the fearsome, memorable enemies in the developers’ releases. Dark souls! the soul of the devil! Sekiro! Lots of games, lots of bosses. What do you think the best FromSoftware boss is? Here are some of our picks.
Although this choice can be a bit predictable, I really enjoyed the Clergy Beast fight in Bloodborne. Guaranteed, Dark souls There are many memorable bosses! The fight between Prince Lothric and Lorian was absolutely unbelievable. Gwyn, Lord of Cinder is an icon. But there’s something about the way the battle between the Cleric Beasts come together to resonate with Bloodborne. This includes how the fight begins with a hurdle shout while you explore Yharnam. Cleric Beast’s fight just got everything you could want, at least in terms of timbre, from a FromSoftware boss. Incredible design, a tight arena and an incredible score. – Kazuma
I have a special affection for the soul of the devil‘Tower Knights, boss of the Boletarian Palace (Area 1-2). Seeing the real knight for the first time increased the scale of the encounters in a way that wasn’t even huge games like God of War The series did not manage to that point. It really feels like you’re just a little guy, and this giant is here to mess up your things. It is truly an unforgettable first impression.
Apparently, more creative and fun bosses have been added since then! But Tower Knight continues to feel like the poster boss for the Soulsborne experience in my mind. It is as inseparable from that mystery as a poisonous swamp. – Josh
I think there’s a good reason why Ornstein and boss Smough fight from Dark souls very iconic. This is the first battle in the series with two unique boss enemies. It’s a very different game, requiring players to choose their moves carefully. Unlike previous multiplayer boss battles like Maneaters in the soul of the devil or Bell Gargoyles in Dark soulsthere is a feeling of choosing which boss to defeat first.
I think that’s also one of the main reasons why so many people struggle to get out of Anor Londo, myself included. But that struggle, die after death from being born in the bonfire in that tiny room, rush to the main hall while avoiding the giant knights, summoning Solaire and praying he wasn’t completely taken. in the trash? It was my first real Soulsborne experience. And defeating the duo becomes even sweeter when you finally leave Anor Londo after the battle. – Andrew
When I see FromSoftware, I will always think of Armored Core Firstly. And the most memorable bosses in the series are Nine-Ball and its derivatives, appearing in most of the series’ titles. Another version of Nine-Ball Seraph also appeared in the crossover title developed by From, Episode of another century: CHEAP. It’s always been a great challenge to fight the red nimble mech, even with units from other franchises in cross-game. And I will also always remember the iconic theme song. “DD-Destroy Nine-Ball.” – Kite
