The Nameless King is a storm king and possibly a dragon-slaying war God, who changed tack and made himself an ally of the dragons, one of which he casually rides into this battle.

Oh crikey.

This battle has everything: a tough boss, the lore to go with it, and a grand scale. It’s Dark Souls summarised in one mad, exciting and very hard boss fight.

Beating The Nameless King is very much a case of trial-and-error, as you learn his attacks, his telegraphs and whether you need to block or roll in each case.

Though not the hardest boss on this list, it still gives you an adrenaline rush and stresses you just enough so that you become determined to beat him, without giving in to hopelessness.

A quintessential Souls boss.
