Dark Souls: 5 Bosses That Hate Your Face
Sep. 4, 2013Dark Souls: 5 Bosses That Hate Your Face
Lots of bosses inDark Soulsare jerks, but not all of them bring the thump. These 5 don’t just kill you,they embarrass you.
5.Capra Demon:
You probably got here by mistake after somehow dodging savage dogs and throat cutting back alley street toughs. You are carrying a wealthy amount of souls that you want to turn into some levels! Or to buy some items… But nope. Two seconds past the fog and “You Died“. Good luck getting back.
4.Centipede Demon:
Stand here. Get wrecked. Move into lava. Get wrecked. Rude hatemail afterwards. Oh and that ring that gives you fire walking which can make the whole fight easier? You have to hack that FROM him. Good luck.
3.Manus:
Nothing pygmy about this guy. He’s like Rafiki on steroids when he brings the club down. The rest of the time he uses dark magic which no one complained about ever. Later on you find out you could have summoned some puppy love. From the middle of the arena, during the middle of the fight.
2.Ceaseless Discharge(the real way, not the cheese):
He’s mad as hell, and you would be too if you were dense, molten, and abandoned. How many times did you try to cheese and failed miserably? Be honest now… yup, thought so.
1.Bed of Chaos:
Not really much of a thumper in terms of bringing the pain, but seriously, fuck that guy.

Emergence
Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
Manus was awful! If it weren’t for that pendant that block dark magic I would have NEVER beat him!!
I would put the 4 kings in this instead of capra. Capra was a breeze for my light build. The 4 kings took me longer than I’d care to admit!
Am I the only person that has never had a problem with the Centipede Demon?
@IcegodzillaNo you are not 🙂 But he can be frustrating if you don’t know what to do, plus he has some anoying attacks if you can’t fast roll.
I considered Four Kings, but I was going for the brutish thud factor. Four Kings hurt you for sure, but with considerably more finesse.
I actually beat Ceaseless pretty easily by dodging most of his attacks, they are almost laughably easy to read when he pulls back his arm. It’s just the timing that’s difficult, and the firey arm also gets me from time to time.
I’d say that Kalameet is a boss that makes a fool out of players who don’t know how to handle him.
There is no “finesse” to Smough.
I found the Capra Demon to be legitimately hard since I was using a build that would get one-shotted by him no matter the attack on my first playthrough.Bed of Chaos on the other hand is just complete bull crap no matter how many times I play through the game.
I laugh about it now, but my first playthrough the worst one was Gaping Dragon. Had no idea what I was getting into, went in solo, then the cutscene where he gets bigger and bigger — and once the scene ended, he was already in full charge mode directly at me on all fours. The only time I’ve ever turned around and tried to get back out a fog gate.
Pre-patch Gaping was the worst!
Jesus, pre patch everything for that matter. Reminds me of the first time I walked into Izalith pre patched. Good lord the aggro radius on those dragon torsos.
I must say that Bed of Chaos takes the price of being the worst boss. Even now almost 2 years later, i still die at least 2-5 times before beating it.
Kalameet, period.
Yeah all the bosses have a bit of that.
But artorias? The guy literally bashes your face in with several of his moves (giant leap, flip slash etc) and he’s an insanely overaggressive pain in the ass while he’s doing it too.
I would still go for the Ornstein and Smough! That boss encounter is just a big f*ck you for new players, haha!
Here, have a boss that double teams on you. Not having fun yet? After you manage to struggle and get one of them to die, the other one comes 2 times harder and gains all of his hp back….THAT is douchebaggery to the max! <3
I hate the Four Kings, mainly due to New Londo Ruins being a pain in the ass for me (I f*cking hate those ghosts).
