10 Hardest Soulsborne Enemies That AREN'T Bosses

7. Bonewheel - Dark Souls 1

Dark Souls Basilisk
FromSoftware

Another highlight from the prolific nightmare-circus that is the mind of Miyazaki comes the Bonewheel. This entry comes with something of a caveat. It is not that these enemies are hard, per se, but more so that they are just so ridiculous a concept, and can demolish your health bar so rapidly on the off chance that you get caught off-guard by one.

With this particular enemy, the difficulty is all about their placement, generally appearing just as you round a corner into an open space. A seasoned DS1 player will remember exactly where they are placed, and thus will rarely get caught by one. If you are not expecting them, however, they will roll obnoxiously into your life and subsequently end it before you can say 'What the f- is that?'

Another in the long list of enemies in the FromSoft canon that are, let's be honest, a bit stupid, the bonewheel is nonetheless something of a beloved feature of DS1 among veterans. In that perverse, love-hate sort of whay that Miyazaki and his team seem to be particular masters of.
