10 Optional Video Game Boss Fights You Totally Missed
6. Dark Souls III - The Nameless King
It just wouldn't be a list about optional bosses without a healthy dose of FromSoftware on here, would it? Dark Souls III is no different, but the Nameless King is certainly one of the easily missed bosses.
It's easy to miss because its entry requirements are something Dark Souls players aren't used to doing: sitting still. Specifically, sitting still in a gesture found at another location, and coming back to a particular spot to do it. How many people thought to do that instinctively?
Archdragon Peak, the location you're whisked away to, is no slouch. It's a veritable gauntlet of tough enemies, as well as a massive dragon with an exploitable weakness to defeat. It's when you reach the top that you're in for a fun time.
Well, fun by Dark Souls standards, with quotation marks.
The Nameless King is no slouch, as he swoops in on a wyvern for the battle's first phase. Even when that's grounded, the King is just as deadly on his feet.
It's worth it if you like a challenge, but many miss it on their first blind run through the game.
