King Allant is the only "best boss in his game" that is not a DLC boss. Well, Demon's Souls didn't have a DLC anyway. Haven't played DS3 yet but I'm definitely getting it with the DLCs because I feel like they are going to be better than the actual game as usual

You literally can't name a fight with better atmosphere, build up and music. Even better is that it's a fight against someone with similar moves as you which are always the highlight.

Also, the boss I picked was for the lore, which admitedly has a somewhat boring lore compared to others, but like I said, I am a sucker for this kind of thing.

Definitely not in world design, Dark Souls is a masterclass of designing an interconnected 3D world.

Want to go fight Pinwheel first? Go ahead.
Want to skip Capra Demon and Gaping Dragon? Go ahead.
Want to go fight Quelaag first? Go ahead.
The way that the first blacksmith is positioned at a bonfire that centers around the Gargoyle fight as well as entrance in Sen's Fortress, two times in the game when upgrading is important.
The way Parish links back to Firelink Shrine and how Undead Burg connects you to Darkroot Basin.

Everything about the world design in Dark Souls makes up for when the game's quality commits suicide after O&S, there's just so much you can do. Dark Souls III has none of that.

Orphan of Kos. I've come to appreciate Ludwig more on NG+ cycles, what ruined him the first time for me was how pathetically easy the second phase was. Orphan was fucking incredible on every level. Seeing those praying shell lady things on the way to the arena, the gorgeous arena itself, and the pure adrenaline filled fight. The transition was amazing too, from a melancholy theme during the first phase, where it sounds like the Orphan is more confused and afraid than anything, to the bombastic theme in the second phase where it's pissed as fuck and is trying to kill you with everything it has.

What are /v/'s thoughts on Nito?

>>388491803
he's got a bone to pick with you

>>388491803
Cool visual, fight is kinda boring, and by that point i (and possibly everyone else) already knew about divine weapons so he's kinda of a pushover without his fangirls, hope they change his fight when they inevitably remake DaS1. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is a cool move though.

>>388491803
Cool skellington, shiiiiiiiiiiit fight.
Needs more skellingtons everywhere.

>>388491803
ehmm, pretty average fight if you play it smart
slow attack animations, avoidable skeletons, easily exploited... it's a good noob filter tho
it has a good place in book just because it's skeletons
and that fucking swords is my weaponfu

>>388485462

>>388491803
I don't even remember Nito because almost every time I got near that point in the game I stopped the playthrough I was on

>>388492004
>it's a good noob filter tho
Pretty sure anyone who made it to Nito has shown enough skill to beat the game, Bell Gargoyles are the true casual filter.

This guy and pinwheel are the only bosses I've never died to, super slow and predictable attacks, his AOE can just be face tanked and you don't even need a shitty divine weapon because he will just murder his own skele-bros constantly in the fight.
His level just feels boring and lazy minus the final stretch with the Leeroy invasion and skeleton hall.

>>388492339
Bloodborne witches. One of the easiest boss battles in all of video games. As far as bad mechanics are concerned probably Loran Darkbeast. Camera makes that fight impossible.

>>388492000
>Needs more skellingtons everywhere.
Fuck no, excessive add on bosses are the fucking worst, does anyone likes ROM or FREJA?

What he needs is to be on par with what we see on the opening cinematic, a magic caster with the power of death and disease:
>Very tanky, lots of HP so he can use all of his moves and dont die like pinwheel even if you facefuck him with melee
>somewhat slow casts, so you predict what he will cast, but fast enough to fuck you over if catches you off-guard
>somewhat fast cheeky sword slashes to catch people who go for a closer approach.
>giant aoe spells that are basically unavoidable unless you saw it was coming
>3 spells cause either massive damage, big damage with toxic build up or medium damage with curse build up respectively
>mid battle he starts emitting curse or toxic aura so people just dont go full naked and face hug him.
>Body explosion
>maybe a summon skeletons move, either 4 small, 3 wheels, 2 giants or 1 dog.
Now this would be a good Nito fight.

>>388492339
Micolash, Witches of Hemwick or Celestial Emissary. Bloodborne has some serious trash fights, the DLC bumps it from an 8/10 to a 10/10 by virtue of having the best bosses in the series but the base game probably has the worst.

>>388492681
Witches can be confusing until you learn the trick, after then they die instantly if you get good spawns.

>>388492339
Bed of Chaos is easily the worst boss ever created and I doubt will ever be topped.

>>388491523
Dark souls 2 did, and it did it in a much larger manner. It is sort of like apples to oranges, but I'm just saying that dark souls 2 deserves much more credit than it gets. I don't like most of the boss fights though.

>>388492339
If you count Chalice Dungeons, the MAN EATER PIG is probably the worst boss, if not i think GANKSQUAD is the worst, only if because it's 3 NPCs as a not any boss, A FUCKING DLC BOSS.

>>388493037

>>388492339
Covetous Demon, Prowling Magus and Congregation, Royal Rat Vanguard, Royal Rat Authority, Graverobbers, Twin Dragonriders, Old Dragonslayer, Belfry Gargoyles, Lud and Zallen, Bed of Chaos, and Red Dragon. These are bosses that I feel have absolutely zero redeeming qualities including interesting lore, diverse and quality moveset, being a fair challenge, and looking unique. There are some fights I consider shit mechanically like Micolash, but lorewise it's very interesting so that bumps him off the list.

>>388492339

I just hammer on him then move on like nothing happened.

Some people don't want bloodborne to be related to the souls series because they don't have a ps4. Soulsborne reminds them of this and they feel like they haven't played the complete series.

DaS II has better design than III, but the problem with II is that you're given a bunch of areas that you can do in any order but this means the developers need to design them to equally challenging because they can't guess which one will pick first which makes the balancing sort of wonky. There also aren't many areas that loop around a single bonfire like in DaS, seriously next time you play DaS and you go through Undead Burg or Painted World look at how the level designers managed to create a world that continually loops back to a central location that gives you a straight shot to the boss.

Undead Burg is some of the best 3D level design ever.

>>388491803

just another rushed boss from the unfinished half of dark souls

fuck i wish they gave it 4 more months but they were so so nervous about not being able to ride the demon "souls" hype name, compounded by the name change.

>>388493731
One of the reasons why Dark Souls is so repayable though is because of just how many options you're given, like I said nothing stops you from going to fight Quelaag or Pinwheel first and you can save Sif for one of the last bosses or make him one of your first.

It's just crazy how well designed it is to accommodate for replayability but also making smart decisions like I mentioned earlier putting a bonfire and blacksmith at Parish because both Gargoyle and Sen's Fortress are difficulty spikes for the player. It's also smart that Darkroot can be accessed there since the player will usually be going through Blighttown from the Depths and they can get a lot of moss there.

Everything about the first half of Dark Souls design just clicks in no other way that a 3D world has, it's really amazing and it's a shame that the last fourth of the game is so fucking awful. I will say that I liked Bloodborne's compromise between interconnectivity and using a hub like Demon's Souls and I hope that approach is reused in the future.

>>388490329

I'm not a big Souls guy. I've played 1, 3, and Bloodborne and I thought they were all pretty mediocre, but I fucking LOVE Champion Gundyr. Hands down the best boss from any of the Souls games I've played. I love everything about this dude. He looks cool as fuck, his difficulty is perfectly balanced and nothing about him is bullshit, he presents a great gameplay moment since he was piss easy as the tutorial boss and then suddenly he's beating your fucking ass into the ground, and his lore is refreshingly simple in a series with way too many ancient powerful gods/demons/knights. Definitely in my top 5 favorite bosses ever.

According to your definition a game only needs to play like Souls to be a Souls game

>>388494016

There's just so much about DaS that should've been and wasn't.

I remember when they first showed the Duke's Archives in a developer stream, and they said it was supposed to be a hidden area. They even said they had planned to make it so that there were areas you wouldn't find on a first play through (or couldn't even access). My hype went through the roof.

And while DaS still felt really magical when it came out, I have always held a bit of sadness over how messy the 2nd half of the game really was. If you think about how cool a place like Lost Izalith and Tomb of the Giants really should be, it's an enormous let down. A lot of people hated Duke's, too, but I enjoyed it more than the other 2 lord's levels.

I hope you're not talking about the base game, the vast majority are either just bad (Witch of Hemlock, Micolash, Celestial Emissary, One Reborn) or redundant (Vicar, Blood Starved Beast, Cleric Beast, Amygdala, Moon Presence).

>>388495381
its a given for people that use the term that they mean From games. you could have even made a better argument by saying lords of the fallen since its way more similar than blade of darkness, yet thats why no one calls LotF as a soulsborne game.
souls like and soulsborne aren't mutually exclusive, but it seems you got your head too far up your ass to care

>>388495591
Not him but Archives feels long enough by itself that I can excuse the crystal cave being a short little visual spectacle before the boss fight.
Demon ruins/Izalith has no excuse though, literally just a boss rush into a giant pool of neon red lava which maybe two off to the side areas.
Tomb is just annoying because it's so dark with random holes, skeletons and pitfalls everywhere.

I just beat Ornstein and Smough, where's the best place to farm Humanity?

>>388495849
Oh i do, gerhman is cool, fighting rom on a giant lake of water is cool until you die to the spiders for the fifth time, Amygdala is one of the coolest because there's no warning it's one of the biggest souls bosses you legitimately fight and up to that point you think you'll never actually get to fight one.

I never said any of the fights were "good" but they are definitely fun to see and experience on a first time playthrough.

>>388496126
Rats in the depths, if you have the DLC then of course the living humanities.

If you're talking art design and presentation then I agree but as far as actual fights the bosses in vanilla Bloodborne are really not very good.

Gascoigne, Logarius and Gehrman are highlights but the rest are either mediocre or bad in my opinion. Also agreed that fighting Amygdala was cool even if it was just hugging its feet and mashing R1.

>>388485462
Am I the only one who liked Rom? I thought the fight was really fun if you're not a pussy bitch and go straight for Rom instead of clearing the spiders, it gets pretty hectic and keeps you on your toes. Plus I think (s)he's cute in a grotesque, otherworldly kinda way.

If you're playing a used disc copy on say ps3 and don't have it I would 100% recommended it, one of the best DLCs I've ever bought for a game and adds three new areas, 4 bosses (one of which is considered the best in souls games) and tons of new armor weapons and magic called black magic.

Because it's awkward to say, pointlessly links together two thematically different franchises, and was propagated mainly by "lore experts" like VaatiVidya who posture as authorities on the games despite literally plagiarizing the majority of their content from reddit.
And, to me personally, it's become associated with people who also think they're "experts" on the games as a result of following youtube personalities.

How many are there? I've only found from Undead Parish and the one from her corpse.

Also what's up with the gold fog at Anor Londo?

I think iudex gundyr was the best designed boss in the series, the way he teaches you how to play a souls game. he's very hard compared to many of the other intro bosses but he's also VERY fair, as you figure him out it's like time seems to slow down

>>388493359

But Dark Souls 3 has better individual level design than Dark Souls 1, just not better world level design.

>>388492128
fucking this.

Play darksouls till you get the lordvessel. Do the DLC and do the archives, boom, you've done all the shit worth doing.

Nothing in Dark Souls 3 comes close to Undead Burg or Painted World, they manage to design an entire level around central checkpoint and make it feel natural. Meanwhile Dark Souls 3 just throw two bonfires ten feet from one another.

>>388495849
Ds1 base game had even shitter fights and amelia, bsb, cleric beast etc are good fights. FROM is not good at making gimmick bosses.

>>388496376
Amygdala's weak points are it's head and arms. The legs take much less damage than the weak points.

>>388502251
>amelia, bsb, cleric beast etc are good fights.
But they're literally all the same, there is very little that separates those bosses from one another aside from little quirks.

>>388502470
Still a perfectly viable way to kill him.

>>388502670
>they are all the same.
What? Vicar amelia heals herself, bsb poisons you and also has poison cloud in its 3rd phase. BSB is absolutely nothing like amelia, it can be gun parried while amelia has the bone breaking mechanic. I also don't understand, how can anyone shit on bb bosses while considering das bosses to be good. There are 3 fucking reskins, Taurus demon is the same as asylum demon, all big bosses are the same, you go in there - hit with weapon - wait for the boss to do its attack. Das doesn't even have phases or interesting mechanics like bone breaking or critical attacks, the only thing the big bosses have going for them is that they are aesthetically different otherwise they are functionally the same.

Friede is my favorite fight, unfortunately badfags spend all their time slandering this great boss.

>>388500908
DaS3's level design is mediocre at best. Most areas are the same as DaS2, or worse, in that they're just glorified hallways, the only difference is that they look nicer and they're packed with more enemies so you don't notice as easily.

I'd actually say that they're worse than DaS2 simply because DaS2's areas are generally designed around having 1-2 bonfires each and the level itself "radiates" outwards from that bonfire for the most part, whereas in DaS3 there's a bonfire every fifty steps and most of the shortcuts are just doors that you don't even need to look for.

>>388503394
>Massive beast like creature
>Flails its appendages around
Now which Bloodborne boss did I just describe? I also never said anything about Dark Souls' bosses so I'm not sure why you brought that up.

>>388503684
>whereas in DaS3 there's a bonfire every fifty steps
Sometimes not even that >>388500981.

>>388491803
I think the figh glitched for me, I smacked a few skeletons with a holy weapon into dust and the rest just stared at me motionless for the rest of the fight, no aggro wathsoever, I only 1 vs 1 Nito from there.

>>388503614
If she wasn't so heavily padded she'd probably be my vote for best in the series, but because she has two entire phases of nothing before the strong phase, it killed a lot of the fight for me. Even if it were just phase 1 and 3 it'd be my favorite fight, but phase 2 was just pointless, like the game was trying to cheap shot Estus out of you and/or test your patience.

This is why Gael is the best fight in DaS3. He doesn't have a retarded phase where nothing happens like Friede, Nameless King, Dancer, etc. He's just a solid fight all around.

>>388500981
DaS3 has some serious problems with how numerous Bonfires were. It's as if they wanted to have Lifegems, without actually having Lifegems, so they just slapped 3-5 bonfires in every zone with dozens of shortcuts that aren't even necessary.

>>388503709
I mixed you up with somebody else.
>flailing appendages
That is a generalization, most beast bosses have perks to differentiate them from others. Darkbeast paarl is nothing like amelia or bsb, ebrietas is nothing like any other beast boss. The only bosses that I agree with being similar are amelia, cleric beast and laurence. Going by your definition, ds3 doesn't have good bosses either because about 70% bosses are just dudes with swords, halberds or daggers.

The debuff is kind of bullshit but yeah, its a really solid encounter and I love his design.

>>388502670

If you're spending 30 mins + on a bossfight you're not playing it right.

>>388504202
>keep going to replay
>keep remembering that after O and S the game tanks in enjoyability
Ive got like 6 different characters up to around that point and I just lose interest, when people say this is the best game of all the games its like they forget how bad the later half of the game actually is because the earlier part was so good.

>>388504167
Ebrietas is a good example of an exception as you can't really stick to her as easy as you can the others and she has a lot more moves to her which make the fight more dynamic.

Darkbeast Paarl is approached in a similar way though in that you want to get right up to him and start wailing on him so that you can collapse him, similarly with Amelia you want to wail on her so you can out damage her heal and with Blood Starved Beast you need to get up to him to do a lot of damage so you don't slowly die to his poison.

I also think Dark Souls III has a similar issue with variety but it also doesn't have absolute dumpster tier bosses like Witch of Hemlock, One Reborn, Celestial Emissary or Micolash.

>>388489781

In no paricular order:
Orphan of Kos - I'm strangely fond of this stupid eldritch godbaby.

Burnt Ivory King - Stands out as a weird 'battle' sequence but I like the lore behind him.

Champion Gundyr - One of the few bosses in DS3 I enjoyed.

Soul of Cinder - Only the first phase. The second is one of the worst in the series if you ask me.

Capra Demon - Even if he wrecks me every time, I like his design and the fact he's the #1 scrubstomper.

Gehrman - The setup is amazing even if the fight as a little bit too flashy in my opinion.

Manus - I'd say better fight than Artorias due to his savage fighting style.

Gascoigne - Serves as a really good intro to Bloodborne, both when it comes to mechanics and atmosphere.

Probably a few more but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Fuck off, BB sans-DLC still has great bosses, but you compare any Souls-game's base bosses to the likes of Ludwig, Orphan, and Maria and they'll look like garbage. And that's not going into Chalice bosses like Abhorrent Beast, Descendant, etc...

Is there any unique bosses in DS3 everything seems like a rehash or reskin of other shit in the series

Most of the bosses have movesets that are blatantly taken from earlier enemies and bosses. Midir shares a lot of Sihn's moves, it's just that Midir is fucking huge so it's not readily apparent.

BSB i feel is a unique enough entity with its speed, mobility and poison effects

Also I like the Witch fight
