10 Hardest FromSoftware Franchise Bosses Of All Time
9. Fume Knight
The much derided middle child of the Dark Souls trilogy, Dark Souls 2 is a bloated, boss-heavy entry in the series that failed to live up to the hype of its predecessor. With so many bosses littered throughout the game, it is perhaps most disappointing that so few really offer up a true Souls-like experience- but there is one that delivers.
The Fume Knight featured in the Crown of the Old Iron King DLC and was swiftly acknowledged by punished players as Dark Souls 2's toughest test.
The Fume Knight consistently walks players down, limiting healing windows and, when combined with the small boss arena and his huge damage output, it makes coming out on top of this battle a truly punishing ordeal.
His dual blades add a new dimension in his second phase, as he adds fire damage to his arsenal and makes shielding through his attacks much less viable. And as if all this wasn't enough- you're also battling the game as Dark Souls 2's ludicrous hit boxes make the Knights attacks damn near impossible to dodge.
The Fume Knight is inarguably Dark Souls 2's hardest boss and deserves a place as one of From Soft's hardest of all time.
