10 Best Dark Souls Bosses - Ranked

One phase? Easy. Two phases? Tricky. Wait, there’s a THIRD phase?!

This fight just keeps going. The first phase against Sister Friede isn’t too bad, but in the second phase, Father Ariandel decides he wants to join the party. This gives you two enemies to think about, rather than just the one.

After finally navigating those two – no doubt with multiple attempts – you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s over, as not many of these bosses have a third phase.

But prepare yourself for Blackflame Friede, the hardest phase that begins when you’ve got two Estus Flasks remaining at best and every hit deals about a flask’s worth of damage. Oh, the joys.

It’s another boss that can turn invisible as well. Why do they keep doing that?!
