The same enemy copy and pasted 3 times completely pointlessly that later appears as a standard mob in Drangleic Castle. It’s just the same enemy copy and pasted for no reason at all
How is that different to gargoyles are their 3 telegraphed attacks
Ruin sentinels look cooler and pose an actual challenge
Just a generic swordsman with a generic predictable moveset. Speaking of bosses that take zero iq, you just read his hilariously telegraphed basic sword swings and dodge, his moveset is uninspired and it takes no skill to beat him
He serves his purpose as an early boss, pretty cool moveset
The fact these bosses appear as mobs later is not a problem
You literally encounter a dozen capra and taurus demons in ds1
Gargoyles too 🤡
Uninspired move sets, like a shittier clone of O&S that you will probably beat on your first try. Their animations are so bland and forgettable, their saving grace is that you will kill them before they bore you to death.
O&S is definitely the cooler fight but the buggy ornstien charges dont speak well, janky unpredictable crap
These two bosses are unironic ugly slop with no mechanics at all. Truly F tier bosses for me.
Sinner with no mechanics? You just talking shit
Rotten‘s arena is pretty dope, I also like the fact you can cut off his arms
Spacing his swipes consistently is pretty satisfying
Mid on the best of days, just a generic enemy with a health bar slapped on. The fact that they are two enemies combined doesn’t really change the way you fight them, you just dodge their telegraphed attacks and poke them in the rear. Nothing crazy.
You actually never fought flexile if you think that lmao
The swordsman is a loot harder to deal with, it’s not even close
Truly rises to the level of peak DS2 mediocrity, the Smelter Demon is truly one of those bosses that goes in the B tier when I’m in a good mood. More generic sword attacks with ugly animations, but it at least gets kind of not really interesting when he starts slowly draining your heal
Smelter demon is as badass a boss can get lol
The trick with Nito is learning how to manage the many mobs he throws at you, and all of his moves are built around that idea. Nito is somewhat of a gimmick boss built around the idea of managing weak enemies in large numbers. How can you say the Pursuer or the Flexile Sentry have that much depth going for them lmfao. Also, Nito’s lore, aesthetics, presentation, and animations are all S tier. Nito is still a gorgeous boss in 2026, DS2 bosses were as ugly as my butthole even when the game launched.
The trick to Nito is not be retarded and wake the mob up
You just run when there’s aoe then go back and spam r1 until next aoe🤣
Gargoyles you hit tail, stun them and 5 seconds later it’s dead
Taurus janky unga bunga crap
Capra is absolute dogshit
Iron giant is a retard with janky hitbox and dumb cheese
And the first part is the playable part somehow
Post anor londo ds1 is so so bad lol, the fact lost izalith is a required area is crazy by itself
Quelaag O&S and 4kings are pretty much the only good base game fights
