1. Black Dragon Kalameet - Dark Souls

Hidden away in the excellent Artorias of the Abyss is this legendary dragon, one so feared that even the gods left him alone to do his thing. I am of course talking about, Black Dragon Kalameet.

Found terrorising the skies of Oolacile, the player can either choose the hard option of shooting him as he flies past with a great bow, or employing the skills of Hawkeye Gough, a blind giant to shoot him down for you. Then begins one of the most tense and balanced fights in the entire series, as fighting Kalameet is a joy, seeing him leaps around the battlefield spewing fire at you. Learning his moves is difficult and fun as he has a myriad of flying and ground based attacks, each one fair, unlike Sinh, who can spam a lot.

Overall, the lore behind the dragon and how you can go about fighting him is a lot of fun. Having the option to shoot him down yourself of go for a fair fight against the beast is a great inclusion. Not to mention he is the shining example of a dragon boss fight in a game that has its share of poor examples. He is a dragon boss fight done well and frankly, I can think of no more epic a showdown.

A fight grounded in awesome backstory and against an incredibly cool designed dragon. Perfection.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
