9/1/2023 0 Comments Dark souls enemies![]() Indeed, there are some bosses which conjure a sense of dread that has little to do with their intimidating presence. ![]() While so many of those bosses are simply just a few rungs below the heaviest hitters, others conjure the opposite memories of the best bosses in the franchise. There are bound to be some that simply don’t meet the expectations set by the greatest foes in the series. Call it the price of doing business when you traffic in so many epic encounters. You know there’s a way out, but how?Īs great as the bosses from this franchise are, though, they are not created equally. No, the bosses of these games are more like puzzle boxes you suddenly find yourself trapped in. The bosses of Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls are designed to be more than mere roadblocks meant to slow down your march towards the end credits. Unless there is some other piece of lore i don't know about, these enemies feel like they were unfinished in implementation, lacking lore.You never forget your first Souls boss. Would have been awesome if these were covenant related, too, and one could wield a pus of man related item or spell much like that one covenant in Bloodborne that could let the player become one of the Kin. I don't think any item or spell go into any lore for these, and i still felt they led to no satisfying conclusion for example: Champion gundyr in Untrended Graves having a pus of man as well, or there being a pus of man related item, spell, or npc to interact with there. We see some already transformed in the Gardens, and the white drake Lothric is afflicted by it too, as we see later on when we attack it's foot. ![]() Anyways, these creatures only exist in and around Lothric castle/wall, with the only other one outside of Lothiric being Iudex's version (which in reality is still "inside" Lothric). Which explains how Hollowing now is attainable only after certain actions, compared to the first two games where death made you hollow. Although, the player characters is no longer an undead, is it, but an unknindled. It's so clearly part of the dark/abyss/deep or whatever, some sort of corruption of humanity from eons before, manifesting as a new symptom of the undead curse. I feel like these dudes were a bit of a red herring in terms of lore and enemies.
