10 Scariest Bosses In FromSoftware Games

Elden Ring is much more forgiving in this sense, with The Lands Between pretty generously offering a myriad of Sites of Grace. Of course, that's partly required if the Souls -like formula is to fill out a vast open-world g

The first horn can only manage a single bubble at a time, but the Long Horn has the devastating Bubble Shower technique. These bubbles are actually quite useful in combat, but it's quite silly. If a player doesn't upgrade to the stronger horn, they could definitely have a tough time with the default


Every one of the original four Soulsborne games starts the player with a broken sword. Demon's Souls goes with Broken Sword, while the Dark Souls series has the Broken Straight Sword. It's a great feeling to start with a useless weapon and gradually upgrade to a stronger one. But it is possible for a player to keep this sw


And in limited cases, NPCs will join the player in certain boss fights. This mechanic was fairly restricted in this game but was more emphasized by the time Elden Ring was __ released. In addition to summoning signs and online play, Elden Ring featured the Spirit Ash system to call upon NPC compani


It's not a knock on the older Demon's Souls -- and its remake by extension -- as by normal mainstream standards, all of FromSoftware's Souls-like games are tough in their own ways. However, it becomes apparent coming back from Elden Ring -- or even Bloodborne and Sekiro -- that boss encounters in Demon's Souls are simpler by des


The fourth King's Field installment really leans into the grimdark aesthetics that would come to typify the Souls series. It's ending, which takes place in the deepest, most corrupted pit of the Land of Disaster, is the best example of this. The boss is also a writhing mass of tentacles that only barely resembles a human, something which calls to mind the equally strange One Reborn from Bloodbor


Miquella is the twin of Malenia, both of which were cursed with afflictions. Miquella was cursed with eternal youth, almost always depicted in-game in his child-like form. He is one of the few characters in Elden Ring that seems to be looking out for the well-being of the residents of the Lands Between. However, Mohg cut those plans short when he kidnapped the child-like demigod and used him for his twisted purposes. Needless to say, Mohg gets what’s coming to him when the player Tarnished arri


It does have some virtues, though, as it swings low to the ground, which can be used to hit smaller enemies like spiders easily. It's also only a one-handed weapon and can change into a scythe. While all these boons are impressive, it still pales in comparison to other trick weapons in the g


Those who venture to the treacherous peak of Elden Ring 's Mt. Gelmir will gain access to Volcano Manor, a legacy dungeon in which resides the God-devouring Serpent. A gimmick boss fight that all but requires the use of the Serpent-hunter Great Spear, the first phase is creepy enough, but things become much stranger when a mid-battle cutscene reveals the snake to harbor the form of Ryk


When used, the dung pies inflict the Toxic status on the enemy, but also on the player. This makes using them a dangerous double-edged sword. While it's tough, it is possible to beat the game while using the Dung Pies almost exclusively. This is one stinky weapon that cannot be taken seriously in and out of the ga


While the summon and multiplayer components aren't prerequisites to FromSoftware's Souls-like experiences, they've always been a rewarding supplemental feature. In Demon's Souls , including the remake, players can summon up to two player Phant


For players that like to hone in on magic-focused builds in Elden Ring , the combination of the Cerulean Hidden Tear and Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear is an excellent pairing in combat. Many of the Flask of Wondrous Physick mixes involve a buff that lasts a few minutes, but the Cerulean Hidden Tear specifically lasts just 15 seco


This is certainly a powerful boon in a boss fight, as now players will have more headroom stamina-wise to hack away at an enemy's health and poise. Of course, to make proper use of this temporary boost, it's best if players are using a relatively light weapon that can hit quickly as opposed to a more cumbersome Greatsword or Great Ham


This humiliation and lack of power from the Golden Lineage led Godrick to pursue grafting to make up for his lack of strength. He began abducting Tarnished warriors and attaching their body parts to himself and click his soldiers. The player Tarnished arrives to put Godrick in his place, and the Lands Between is much better off for


In contrast for players looking for a more expansive experience, Elden Ring will almost certainly take first-time players anywhere from 50-70 hours, depending on their pacing and how much they want to uncover in the game's wo


The first boss she can be summoned for Elden Ring Magma Wyrm Makar in the Ruin-Strewn Precipice. For her summon sign to appear, players must give the Unalloyed Gold Needle to Gowry, who will repair it. When it is repaired, take the repaired needle to Millicent who will use it on herself. After resting and exhausting her dialogue, she will move to Gowry’s shack. After speaking to her again, players should be able to summon her for the Magma Wyrm Makar's fi
