10 Hardest Video Game Bosses That Required Incredible Skill
3. The Nameless King- Dark Souls 3
We’re certain that nowadays it’s a legal requirement to include a Dark Souls entry on any lists related to difficult boss fights. This being the case, we’ve opted for The Nameless King from Dark Souls 3 to take the mantle. That’s not to say he hasn’t earned his place here. If you’ve faced him before, you’ll know why he’s this high up.
The Nameless King begins his assault on the player by entering the arena mounted on a wyvern named King of the Storm. This wyvern has its own meaty health bar for the player to chip away at before they can even face The Nameless King one-on-one. King of the Storm uses a mix of charge, lightning and fire based aerial attacks, with its weakness being attacks to the head and neck. The fire attack is particularly deadly and can easily kill the player instantly. Dodge and hit.
Once the wyvern is down, it’s on to the king. His drawn out attacks can catch the most experienced players off guard and can almost one-shot you if they connect. He will also continue to use wind and lightning based attacks alongside his melee. Studying and mastering his attack patterns are the only way to even slightly increase your chance of survival.
Hey, it’s an optional Souls boss; what were you expecting?
