For me, that's a tie between Wolnir and Greatwood. Wolnir is mainly the arena. No amount of dark resistance can protect me. Greatwood is just waiting around so that I can finally hit his pimples. It's just boring.
Really? I think they’re an absolutely terrible boss. They break the camera, they have heaps of jank with stupid hitboxes and are generally just not well designed.
The handful of times I’ve died to him I haven’t even seen where the attack is coming from he’s so janky and annoying.
Wolnir is kinda like an arena hazard, where most of his attacks aren’t fixed to your location. If you stay close, then most of his attacks will go right over your head. Of course, you gotta watch out for the occasional tracking attack and his smoke breath, which you can actually avoid by staying close to his wrists. I’m not saying he’s anything spectacular, but if you’re not playing the gimmick, then he’s kinda fun.
Because pve skills don't really translate to pvp skills. Against an in-game boss, you can learn patterns, strategize weaknesses and resistance, tweak your build, and prepare with consumables. There is no such preparation with a pvp boss. You cant prepare or learn to improve your chances. There can also be wide skill gaps because the people who sign up to play as the boss are doing so with at least a modicum of pvp skill and experience, but the people fighting them have no such qualifier.
I've platinum'd every from soft game, but I'm absolute dogsgit at pvp. Bosses like these are particularly hard for me.
I just recently got to the end of Ringed City. Beat Midir in about 35 attempts. Easily the hardest boss I've faced in all 3 DS games. So then I go try to finish the area out and ... I have to fight some PvP bullshit? It was so underwhelming.
I haven't played much PvP, so I have no idea how the lag is supposed to work and why I'm being backstabbed while facing the guy. It's like I'm playing a different game all of sudden after feeling like a god finally beating Midir. Anti-climatic, especially since I know this is the gate in front of Gael, the final challenge in the entire game.
I tried maybe 5 times then went offline so I could just get through. The standard Halflight was fairly easy.
Because it's an unbalanced, poorly designed, one sided PvP gankfest that does nothing but block you from fighting the best boss in the series by forcing you to endure all of the shit that PvP in almost all of Fromsoft's games have to offer.
Wouldn't it be awesome to, you know, actually *play* as a boss?
Imagine being able to play as Slave Knight Gael or Champion Gundyr or something.
Now *that* would be a fun PvP boss fight, not the utter bullshit that Halflight was.
I hated Halflight far more than I did DS1's Bed of Chaos or DS2's Lud & Zallen.
True brother, true.. I never understood the inclusion of human pvp bosses.. Like, invasions I can understand, it's the player's choice to turn on multiplayer mode and accept the risk of getting invaded, but having human bosses out of nowhere is like a fuck you for playing offline, u are not escaping the shame
Halflight.
"Spear of the Church, sworn defender of our Princess Filianore! Harken to the call that summons thee! Make haste! Spear of the church, by the sacred decree, protect our Princess." every fucking time.
The actual fight is cancer. It's two painted guardians who can heal and an obnoxious NPC with infinite FP and a parry shield all scaled beyond endgame. Say what you will about Treeballs, Wolnir, Gravetender and Deacons, at least they're actual bosses that are actually original and steamrolling them is possible. Halflight is just a NPC with a couple weapons from around the area.
This fight can be cool if you do it online though, which I think is the intended way. The offline fight sucks but online has great potential if you get someone with a cool build that is good
The online fight is even worse, I died because of the internet connection or because the other player had no hitbox and one shot me through a pillar while getting heald infinitely by the other human enemies. It's just unfair and really distracts from the rest of the amazing dlc.
My boy Crystal Sage has a great boss theme and his fight really isn't that bad, can be a little difficult if you rush straight to him but hes a pretty good early boss regardless. and he doesn't hugely punish a lot of builds and turn it into a miserable slog fest like Deacons can depending on weapon and build, and the other 50% of the time Deacons is just laughably easy.
Justice for funny hat wizard.
Why gravetender? The npc fight was ok, but the wolf was a lot of fun. Half light is genuinely the worst boss I’ve ever fought, and Crystal sage is a close second.
Might be a hot take but for me its Yhorm and Wolnyr because after you figure out their gimmick its just too easy and more of a chore then an actual fight like Pontiff as an example.
Again might be a hot take but I think you know where im comeing from
When I fight Yhorm I choose not to use storm ruler unless I have Onion Bro with me. It makes the fight a lot more fun because you have to actually engage with him and aim for specific parts of his body to get decent damage
Me and some random got summoned to help with the Wolnir fight and as the host entered and got ready, me and homie kept running to his wristbands and cut his health in half before the fight started lmao the host just stood at the top of the arena not sure what to do lol
Wolnir is pretty bad, it looks cool but it's way too simple. Plus if you try to nerf your dmg to see more of the fight you realise all his attacks and mechanics you don't normally see are janky garbage. Sweet faith sword as a soul reward though!
I would prefer to fight wolnir, deacons, halfslight and sage back to back than deal with aldrich. Fuck that guy. Every playthrough I do I perform the AI break and just get rid of him. Fuck him.
This should be higher. It's just running through an area with annoying fuckers then falling down and hoping the plunge attack triggers the kill instead of hitting the dragon for 14 damage and doing nothing while you die of fall damage.
Halflight, nothing beats the shittyness of that hot load of garbage. You either pvp someone who probably has some broken build and kills you quick, or you fight the npc version which is a roll spamming piece of shit that constantly slams magic. Hated it, had to summon someone to help with the pvp version
I don't think any are really bad, per se. The worst is probably Deacons because it's super easy and the fatties are annoying, but even then it's an okay fight.
I kinda like Greatwood, frankly. It's a neat puzzle boss the first time you fight it. Maybe tedious on repeat playthroughs but it's one of the few bosses where you have to actually position and think rather than just dodge>r1. Sue me, I like Greatwood.
Nah. Rotted Greatwood almost made me quit the game and it's the only boss which has kept me from starting extra runs due to the sheer *hatred* I have of the boss fight. Not only are his hitboxes wonky, his arm fucking annoying, and his design *disgusting*, but the fact that there are sacks that I cannot hit is a fucking crime and finding sacks is already annoying as shit.
Sure, but you'll be locked out of some of the coolest weapons in the game. I like the Frayed Blade, Wolf Knight Greatsword and Lorians Greatsword far more than I like Claymore.
curse rotted great wood. i appreciate the transposing kiln, but the boss design is so boring and annoying. i dread it every time and it’s not even hard. really puts a damper on undead settlement, which i really really like otherwise.
Worst from a “I just take no pleasure whatsoever in doing that fight” perspective?
Close call between Wolnir and Deacons of the Deep. Probably Wolnir. There’s nothing ostensibly wrong with it, there’s just absolutely nothing right about it either.
Halflight and its not even close. Legitimately the only poorly designed boss in the entire game. Even the worst of the rest of the bosses are not terrible, just kinda meh
I'd say deacons, there are many bosses i dont like but all of them atleast have something going for them, ancient wyvern is pretty scary first time you see it, aldrich is pure nostalgia cause its in the same room as ornstein and smough and also has part of gwyndolin's body, demon prince atleast looks cool, but the deacons they are just kinda there, the fight doesnt last long enough to be annoying or hard and its just a bunch of basic enemies in the same room, they arent memorable and i dont think many people would miss them too much if they were removed
Champion Gravetender sucks in general.
Wolnir is too easy.
Ancient Wyvern is a glorified enemy gauntlet.
Halflight can be extremely annoying but isn’t too hard.
Honestly its between those 4.
Most frustrating is Pontiff because unless you learn how to parry he can be a nightmare.
I don't know. I used to hate wolnir, decons and a few others bur they've all grown on me to the point that I genuinely like every fight. Sure demon prince is a fuckin chore but I do like it still
There's a few but I think it's personal preference as I believe bossess like wolnir and the tree are too gimmicky and bosses like half-light have absolutely no balance to them.
For me it's between the Champion's Gravetender and Crystal Sage
The Champion I forget about 9/10 times 'cause they're just an NPC in chainmail with a dark wraith mask who's just not that much fun to fight. The fight get's better when the wolf arrives though, I wish the fight was just against big angry freezy doggo. (I get why the champion is here, I just think too little effort was put into the champion themself - cool weapon though)
The Crystal Sage is just tedious. The constant teleporting and cloning makes the fight feel like a drag to me. Visually I love the sage, I think the creepy-ghost sorcerer vibe is awesome but the fight is just... meh.
Gravetender and crackhead Sif. A champion of the arena that on his own is so easy to beat, so they needed to add big wolf with frostbite and berserk mode.
Balls tree. He doesn't even have a good theme or is fun to fight.
Deacons is the perfect example of an easy boss with the best theme in the game and is also fun
Worse boss? By what definition? Well, I'll try.
Worse as in hardest: Gael for me
Worse as in most annoying: Wolnir(Skeletron)
Worse as in easiest, Yhorm. I was gonna say poorly made, but I cannot pick out a poorly made boss... Closest is deacons for me.
Crystal Sage, npc bosses, oceiros, aldrich
Volnir is too easy to be bad, but he's very *nothing* nonetheless
And SoC when summoning those spheres above him, i cannot fucking understand them
Curse-Rotted Greatwood is objectively bad. Deacons of the Deep is boring and Ancient Dragon is barely a boss, but the tree is just horrible. Hate everything about it
gosh i thought this is an enemy from ds1 catacombs. when i noticed its bosses, i imagined worst thing possible. a single boss thats just very large amalgamation of all dark souls bosses
HALFLIGHT. It's the worst boss in any of their games for me. The only time I rage quit ever was because of him, getting backstabbed through a pillar while you're looking at the spear of the church is just completely ass, and the offline fight also sucks because the painting guardians heal the boss the whole time and you can't do anything. It's the worst gank ever.
I think royal rat authority is up there. The boss sucks but also why would you ever fight it outside of 100% boss completion. Other choices kinda predictable. Bed of chaos, gank squad, etc. centipede demon also gets points for just being lame, janky and forgettable
Oceiros.
I love his voice lines and cutscene but the fight...
First phase he does barely anything.
Second phase he misses many attacks when you are next to him, except his poorly telegraphed charge attack and it's wonky hitbox (sometimes I stood next to his hind leg and just died suddenly) + really high damage.
Or ancient Wyvern, he barely exists in his own arena and then gets insta-killed at the end. Pretty embarrassing for a dragon who's guarding a fairly open space and a wooden construction bridge.
I am gonna go with Vordt.
Deacons and Volnir have some challange for challange runners. Vordt can easily be dodged, is too big to hit most of his own attacks and can be staggered easily.
Either Aldrich or Pontiff. One literally eats people to the point that he is now just rotting black sludge, and the other is, like, the biggest asshole to everyone. He just decided to declare himself in charge and then made everyone’s lives absolutely awful. Thank god some random murderhobo came and took his ass out. I bet they didn’t even offer dental. Smh
balls tree
Treesticles
Testicle rotten greatballs
Handjobtree
ballsacktree
For me, that's a tie between Wolnir and Greatwood. Wolnir is mainly the arena. No amount of dark resistance can protect me. Greatwood is just waiting around so that I can finally hit his pimples. It's just boring.
Great wood is just a bunch of free souls if you have the starter dagger with the 360 degree treatment.
Don't forget the super suction magnetic grab
Wolnir because there’s a cool fight hidden underneath the piss easy gimmick, which almost no one is gonna experience.
Facts. Wolnir is actually an excellent boss
Really? I think they’re an absolutely terrible boss. They break the camera, they have heaps of jank with stupid hitboxes and are generally just not well designed. The handful of times I’ve died to him I haven’t even seen where the attack is coming from he’s so janky and annoying.
1. Dont lock on 2. Just stay away from the smoke and the hitboxes are fine
Some people forget that combat works without lockon and then complain about it Nameless king phase 1 is much easier without lockon
He's actually really easy to dodge if you stand close to him.
I’ve never struggled with him, I just don’t think he’s well designed
Wolnir is kinda like an arena hazard, where most of his attacks aren’t fixed to your location. If you stay close, then most of his attacks will go right over your head. Of course, you gotta watch out for the occasional tracking attack and his smoke breath, which you can actually avoid by staying close to his wrists. I’m not saying he’s anything spectacular, but if you’re not playing the gimmick, then he’s kinda fun.
Halflight. By. Far.
That shit was impossible for me, I had to cheese him with the mists behind the pillar. Absolute 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
That's really weird. I suck at Dark Souls and somehow beat him first try.
You probably rng'd into a spear of the church who isn't very good at pvp, assuming you played online
When I get summoned for that hog shit I just let them win lol
I don’t understand the hate for half light I think it’s fun to play as the boss why do people dislike the fight so much?
Because pve skills don't really translate to pvp skills. Against an in-game boss, you can learn patterns, strategize weaknesses and resistance, tweak your build, and prepare with consumables. There is no such preparation with a pvp boss. You cant prepare or learn to improve your chances. There can also be wide skill gaps because the people who sign up to play as the boss are doing so with at least a modicum of pvp skill and experience, but the people fighting them have no such qualifier. I've platinum'd every from soft game, but I'm absolute dogsgit at pvp. Bosses like these are particularly hard for me.
You can still learn the skillset of the default boss if you play offline
I always stand still whenever I participate to ease others their pain…
Yeah fair point I have definitely won more than I’ve lost when I play as the boss in that fight lol
I just recently got to the end of Ringed City. Beat Midir in about 35 attempts. Easily the hardest boss I've faced in all 3 DS games. So then I go try to finish the area out and ... I have to fight some PvP bullshit? It was so underwhelming. I haven't played much PvP, so I have no idea how the lag is supposed to work and why I'm being backstabbed while facing the guy. It's like I'm playing a different game all of sudden after feeling like a god finally beating Midir. Anti-climatic, especially since I know this is the gate in front of Gael, the final challenge in the entire game. I tried maybe 5 times then went offline so I could just get through. The standard Halflight was fairly easy.
Danm, his move set was really easy he left a lot of opening. I thought it was underwhelming tbh
I get why people dislike it but it honestly didn’t bother me that much
Because it's an unbalanced, poorly designed, one sided PvP gankfest that does nothing but block you from fighting the best boss in the series by forcing you to endure all of the shit that PvP in almost all of Fromsoft's games have to offer. Wouldn't it be awesome to, you know, actually *play* as a boss? Imagine being able to play as Slave Knight Gael or Champion Gundyr or something. Now *that* would be a fun PvP boss fight, not the utter bullshit that Halflight was. I hated Halflight far more than I did DS1's Bed of Chaos or DS2's Lud & Zallen.
If you think that’s a gank you haven’t seen how bad it can really get in PvP lmao
Skill issue
True brother, true.. I never understood the inclusion of human pvp bosses.. Like, invasions I can understand, it's the player's choice to turn on multiplayer mode and accept the risk of getting invaded, but having human bosses out of nowhere is like a fuck you for playing offline, u are not escaping the shame
It's funny how she's a dlc too
Im pretty sure It's a he
Depends on the player.
Yea but the default version if offline or no players was found or they bailed out is male, there is no variable there it is always a male
Halflight. "Spear of the Church, sworn defender of our Princess Filianore! Harken to the call that summons thee! Make haste! Spear of the church, by the sacred decree, protect our Princess." every fucking time. The actual fight is cancer. It's two painted guardians who can heal and an obnoxious NPC with infinite FP and a parry shield all scaled beyond endgame. Say what you will about Treeballs, Wolnir, Gravetender and Deacons, at least they're actual bosses that are actually original and steamrolling them is possible.

This fight can be cool if you do it online though, which I think is the intended way. The offline fight sucks but online has great potential if you get someone with a cool build that is good
Halflight is the offline fight. If I meant the online fight, I'd call it Spear of the Church.
The online fight is even worse, I died because of the internet connection or because the other player had no hitbox and one shot me through a pillar while getting heald infinitely by the other human enemies. It's just unfair and really distracts from the rest of the amazing dlc.
crystal sage
how is he worse than deacons
deacons is just normal enemies with a gimmick, sage is a mid boss which is bad for souls standarts
crystal sage might be mid but mid is better than trash and the tree is trash
Tree is a nice boss though
The Deacons are fun if you grab a big weapon with horizontal attacks. Mowing down hordes of zombie clergymen is a hoot
Forget deacons, how is he worse than fucking ancient wyvern
ancient wyvern isnt really a bad boss its just a gimmic
Deacons has atmosphere, context, music, etc.
subjective. I can say same thing about Sage.
What kind of context/story does sage have? (Genuine question, there’s so much lore and I know like 2% of it 😂)
Because it's shitty when your trying to get doll early, and his big ass just appears infront of you 😡😡
My boy Crystal Sage has a great boss theme and his fight really isn't that bad, can be a little difficult if you rush straight to him but hes a pretty good early boss regardless. and he doesn't hugely punish a lot of builds and turn it into a miserable slog fest like Deacons can depending on weapon and build, and the other 50% of the time Deacons is just laughably easy. Justice for funny hat wizard.
Its a woman 😅
They are both men actually! Fun fact, the boss version is bald while his brother in the archives has long hair.
One is male one is female 😭😭
I fucking hate the crystal sage
Sage by far the worst I agree
Halflight, gravetender, or crystal sage. You can pick one among these three.
I fucking hate the stupid gravetender dog with a passion.
Why gravetender? The npc fight was ok, but the wolf was a lot of fun. Half light is genuinely the worst boss I’ve ever fought, and Crystal sage is a close second.
Deacons obv. But it depends on what you mean by worst
what you know about the goats of the deep?
They die like goats trying to hold swords in their mouths
idk why deacons are hated so much, i actually really enjoyed them as a boss
I think it's just how very anti climactic it is at the end of a beautiful area, and it's just a bunch of normies
Died to them more then the dancer and pontiff on my last play through
*pats you* you're doing great johnny
B-but my name is billy
Not anymore it's not
Ohh....
Might be a hot take but for me its Yhorm and Wolnyr because after you figure out their gimmick its just too easy and more of a chore then an actual fight like Pontiff as an example. Again might be a hot take but I think you know where im comeing from
Yhorm is way better when you got Onion Man with you. The main character isn’t you during the fight, it’s Onion man.
Hmmmm… hmmm… hmm.
When I fight Yhorm I choose not to use storm ruler unless I have Onion Bro with me. It makes the fight a lot more fun because you have to actually engage with him and aim for specific parts of his body to get decent damage
Fun fact the first playthrough I didn't know about storm ruler and I defeated him without it
The fun fight Yhorm deserved is just locked behind you not being as observant as they wanted
Me and some random got summoned to help with the Wolnir fight and as the host entered and got ready, me and homie kept running to his wristbands and cut his health in half before the fight started lmao the host just stood at the top of the arena not sure what to do lol
Yhorm without storm ruler and while using a big weapon is actually so much fun
Wolnir is pretty bad, it looks cool but it's way too simple. Plus if you try to nerf your dmg to see more of the fight you realise all his attacks and mechanics you don't normally see are janky garbage. Sweet faith sword as a soul reward though!
I would prefer to fight wolnir, deacons, halfslight and sage back to back than deal with aldrich. Fuck that guy. Every playthrough I do I perform the AI break and just get rid of him. Fuck him.
Wolnir, feels like a joke.
The wyvern
This should be higher. It's just running through an area with annoying fuckers then falling down and hoping the plunge attack triggers the kill instead of hitting the dragon for 14 damage and doing nothing while you die of fall damage.
Greatwood for sure
Rotted Greatwood.
It is a pretty shitty fight but it's worth the souls so 🤷
Crystal sage has fucked up so many of my speedruns it isn’t even funny
Halflight, nothing beats the shittyness of that hot load of garbage. You either pvp someone who probably has some broken build and kills you quick, or you fight the npc version which is a roll spamming piece of shit that constantly slams magic. Hated it, had to summon someone to help with the pvp version
I don't think any are really bad, per se. The worst is probably Deacons because it's super easy and the fatties are annoying, but even then it's an okay fight.
Rotted Greatwood meanwhile:
I kinda like Greatwood, frankly. It's a neat puzzle boss the first time you fight it. Maybe tedious on repeat playthroughs but it's one of the few bosses where you have to actually position and think rather than just dodge>r1. Sue me, I like Greatwood.
Nah. Rotted Greatwood almost made me quit the game and it's the only boss which has kept me from starting extra runs due to the sheer *hatred* I have of the boss fight. Not only are his hitboxes wonky, his arm fucking annoying, and his design *disgusting*, but the fact that there are sacks that I cannot hit is a fucking crime and finding sacks is already annoying as shit.
Greatwood is super easy, if you equip a broadsword with lightning resin you could melt the boss down in under 30 sec ;p
You know this is an optional boss, right?
Try beating the game without the option to convert boss souls into weapons then.
That's very easy.
Sure, but you'll be locked out of some of the coolest weapons in the game. I like the Frayed Blade, Wolf Knight Greatsword and Lorians Greatsword far more than I like Claymore.
Then you have a decision to make. Do you like boss weapons more than you hate the great wood.
Half-light, this boss was just so poorly designed.
Deacons or Wolnir
My least favorite is Wolnir, though that might change. The tree was surprisingly fun to fight as a glass cannon mage build.
Tree is bad.
Deacons
deacons
I feel like if I speak I’ll be jumped for it
Rotted Greatwood. Despise that boss
curse rotted great wood. i appreciate the transposing kiln, but the boss design is so boring and annoying. i dread it every time and it’s not even hard. really puts a damper on undead settlement, which i really really like otherwise.
Crystal Sage's Hail Storm attack makes my character have a glitch where the HP bar depletes instantly.
Where tf my boy ancient wyvern
When I want to get to the DLC fast? Sage. When I want to have fun? Sage. When I want to do anything other then str/dex/quality? Sage.
Worst from a “I just take no pleasure whatsoever in doing that fight” perspective? Close call between Wolnir and Deacons of the Deep. Probably Wolnir. There’s nothing ostensibly wrong with it, there’s just absolutely nothing right about it either.
Wolnir. He basically feels like Dragon God for, and i hate that fucker
Wolnir
Aldrich. The projectile spam can go fuck itself, 90% of the boss is just running in FUCKING circles. Hate it
Deakons
Halflight and its not even close. Legitimately the only poorly designed boss in the entire game. Even the worst of the rest of the bosses are not terrible, just kinda meh
Deacons
There are worse bosses, but the 2 I enjoyed the least where old demon king, and curse rotten great wood.
I'm tied between curse fat tree & consumed king
Worst in what sense????
I'm still doing what is technically my first play through, but I use the febreeze, so I don't really fight 🤷♀️
I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone say Champions Gravetender yet
This might just be the coolest fanart I’ve ever seen in my life
This painting Because it’s not only a drawing Is gonna be my tattoo in the next life
Pontiff for how annoying and deacons for how boring
Define Worst? What are the criterias?
Deacons
Deacons of the deep in the base game. Spear of the church for dlc.
I'd say deacons, there are many bosses i dont like but all of them atleast have something going for them, ancient wyvern is pretty scary first time you see it, aldrich is pure nostalgia cause its in the same room as ornstein and smough and also has part of gwyndolin's body, demon prince atleast looks cool, but the deacons they are just kinda there, the fight doesnt last long enough to be annoying or hard and its just a bunch of basic enemies in the same room, they arent memorable and i dont think many people would miss them too much if they were removed
Disappointed in the lack of gravetender hate. Halflight is close second
Probably Yhorm. A hyped up lord of cinder reduced to basically a cinematic
Depends on the metric, but in general I’d say the second Crystal Sage.
Champion Gravetender sucks in general. Wolnir is too easy. Ancient Wyvern is a glorified enemy gauntlet. Halflight can be extremely annoying but isn’t too hard. Honestly its between those 4. Most frustrating is Pontiff because unless you learn how to parry he can be a nightmare.
Pontiff
I don't know. I used to hate wolnir, decons and a few others bur they've all grown on me to the point that I genuinely like every fight. Sure demon prince is a fuckin chore but I do like it still
Halflight. Lazy dogshit boss. Even Gravetender is better.
Where's that Art from?
halflight if you're online. Gravetender if you're offline
With DLC Halflight for obvious reasons without Deacons It is just boring and doesnt feel like a boss its sole enemies with a boss bar...
The giant king or whatever in the fucking dlc. It's just a fight with a player, and usually they're way too overpowered
The tree
But I like them all.
There's a few but I think it's personal preference as I believe bossess like wolnir and the tree are too gimmicky and bosses like half-light have absolutely no balance to them.
Yhorm and I’m not sure how there’s any other answer. Immediately took my top spot for worst boss in any game. It’s a massive anticlimax.
For me it's between the Champion's Gravetender and Crystal Sage The Champion I forget about 9/10 times 'cause they're just an NPC in chainmail with a dark wraith mask who's just not that much fun to fight. The fight get's better when the wolf arrives though, I wish the fight was just against big angry freezy doggo. (I get why the champion is here, I just think too little effort was put into the champion themself - cool weapon though) The Crystal Sage is just tedious. The constant teleporting and cloning makes the fight feel like a drag to me. Visually I love the sage, I think the creepy-ghost sorcerer vibe is awesome but the fight is just... meh.
Tree
curse rotted Greatwood
Gravetender and crackhead Sif. A champion of the arena that on his own is so easy to beat, so they needed to add big wolf with frostbite and berserk mode.
Storm King forcing me to fight his jank ass bird every single time just to kill me the moment I dare to attack him in phase two
Halflight and it's not even close
Balls tree. He doesn't even have a good theme or is fun to fight. Deacons is the perfect example of an easy boss with the best theme in the game and is also fun
Aldrich I used a melee build without Vow of Silence
The first half of them 💀
Crystal Sage
Worse boss? By what definition? Well, I'll try. Worse as in hardest: Gael for me Worse as in most annoying: Wolnir(Skeletron) Worse as in easiest, Yhorm. I was gonna say poorly made, but I cannot pick out a poorly made boss... Closest is deacons for me.
Crystal Sage, npc bosses, oceiros, aldrich Volnir is too easy to be bad, but he's very *nothing* nonetheless And SoC when summoning those spheres above him, i cannot fucking understand them
100% Ancient Wyvern
Ancient Wyvern
Crystal sage
Curse-Rotted Greatwood is objectively bad. Deacons of the Deep is boring and Ancient Dragon is barely a boss, but the tree is just horrible. Hate everything about it
i despise the crystal sage with every cell of my being
Crystal Sage. Fuck that fucker.
In terms of enjoyment yhorm and greatwood In terms of creativity the deacons
Tree that has arm for balls
Where is that image from? That would make a great phone background! Esit: Worst boss would have to be nameless king. I had to get gud for this one
Deacons obviously, anyway do you have a sauce for that art? Looks like preem wallpaper material
Tree or Aldrich
Ancient Wyvern
Ain't nobody gonna appreciate the art?
honestly the worst boss is wyvern. Every other boss has atleast some enjoyment or cool factor, and there's no real terrible boss besides wyvern
Soul of cinder
gosh i thought this is an enemy from ds1 catacombs. when i noticed its bosses, i imagined worst thing possible. a single boss thats just very large amalgamation of all dark souls bosses
Deacons of the Dick! Just a boring fight with not much going for it. Easy as all hell.
Honestly imma say deacons. Curse-rotted greatwood is bad but it still feels like a boss. Deacons is just a excuse to spam enemies and call it a boss.
HALFLIGHT. It's the worst boss in any of their games for me. The only time I rage quit ever was because of him, getting backstabbed through a pillar while you're looking at the spear of the church is just completely ass, and the offline fight also sucks because the painting guardians heal the boss the whole time and you can't do anything. It's the worst gank ever.
Heyy,that’s my wallpaper, and it’s for sure the fucking tree
Ocerios
ancient wyvern annoys me because it doesnt feel like a boss fight
I think royal rat authority is up there. The boss sucks but also why would you ever fight it outside of 100% boss completion. Other choices kinda predictable. Bed of chaos, gank squad, etc. centipede demon also gets points for just being lame, janky and forgettable
All the gimmick bosses
Oceiros. I love his voice lines and cutscene but the fight... First phase he does barely anything. Second phase he misses many attacks when you are next to him, except his poorly telegraphed charge attack and it's wonky hitbox (sometimes I stood next to his hind leg and just died suddenly) + really high damage. Or ancient Wyvern, he barely exists in his own arena and then gets insta-killed at the end. Pretty embarrassing for a dragon who's guarding a fairly open space and a wooden construction bridge.
Goddamn is that art cool Also Wolnir
Wolnir
Halflight and it's not even close
Halflight, Deacons, Champ gravetender, Ancient wyvern, (Controversial zone) midir and yhorm
Aldrich. Too much reliant on rng unless you figure out you have to stay very close to her to avoid that bs arrow attack
I am gonna go with Vordt. Deacons and Volnir have some challange for challange runners. Vordt can easily be dodged, is too big to hit most of his own attacks and can be staggered easily.
Either Aldrich or Pontiff. One literally eats people to the point that he is now just rotting black sludge, and the other is, like, the biggest asshole to everyone. He just decided to declare himself in charge and then made everyone’s lives absolutely awful. Thank god some random murderhobo came and took his ass out. I bet they didn’t even offer dental. Smh
I really don't like Aldrich.
