10 Gimmick Bosses In Dark Souls

Found in the Catacombs of Carthus, Lord Wolnir is a huge enemy who wears oddly shining bracelets. In one of Fromsoft's most obvious "hit the weak point" endeavours, damaging these bracelets enough to destroy them will take enormous chunks of health away from him.

While he can summon enemy skeletons (which he usually takes out by himself with long, sweeping arm attacks) the main danger that you'll find yourself in as a player is getting overly-zealous attacking his jewellery and becoming caught in the smog that he breathes out.

This can lead to a cheap and quick death, but the enormous sword he pulls from the ground which increases his attack range is the only other real concern during this fight. As long as you are patient and don't over commit, you will soon be sending the High Lord tumbling down into the abyss.

A minor note is that you can't re-enter this boss arena once you have killed him but if you forgot to grab the Grave Warden Pyromancy Tome, it will spawn in the corner of the bonfire room.

The fight is not considered difficult and as with the other "weak point" gimmicks, was met with a lukewarm reaction at best.
