2. Dragon Slayer Ornstein And Executioner Smough
Namco Bandai
Found in: Dark Souls The majority of boss fights in the Dark Souls games are a one-on-one affair, but occasionally From Software enjoy adding an extra element of cruelty by throwing two or three enemies into the mix. There's everything from a fight with three spear-wielding sentries to a fight against dozens of giant rats, but battling Ornstein and Smough remains one of the most stressful examples of multi-tasking in the history of mankind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccDia1wqYK8 They're found guarding the throne room of Anor Londo, a gigantic city packed with huge towers and marble stairwells. Each of these two fearsome warriors would have made for a tricky foe all on their own, but as a pair, the mix of Ornstein's quick spear attacks and Smough's heavy-hitting hammer becomes a truly deadly combination. This fight takes place about halfway through the game and was the stopping point for many players thanks to its brutal difficulty. After taking down one of these two knights, the remaining will take the power of his fallen comrade and become a stronger version, filling his health and adding a wealth of new attacks to his repertoire. It's a relentless and incredibly satisfying encounter that truly separates the men from the boys.
