10 Annoying Video Game Boss Fights Everyone Skips

7. The Nameless King - Dark Souls III

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Headless
FromSoftware

The first of two FromSoftware entries on our list now, with the infamous Nameless King from Dark Souls III.

Without question one of the trickiest bosses in any FromSoft game, the Nameless King is at least an optional obstacle you're in no way obligated to suffer through.

Those who do, however, will have to face off against not only the mighty armoured fella himself, but also his terrifying dragon steed, the King of the Storm.

Defeat the King of the Storm - which, in large part due to a terrible camera, is no picnic itself - and you'll face the Nameless King in one-on-one combat, where his vicious lightning attacks can almost one-shot unsuspecting players.

Dodging is the name of the game here but his attacks are extremely tricky to avoid, enough that even many hardy Dark Souls players ultimately decided to throw in the towel.
