10 Saddest Soulsborne Bosses

Dark Souls 3's premise is centered around taking down the Lords of Cinder: Titans and Gods who linked the flame in ages past, after facing more trials and tribulations than you ever did in trying to beat the Nameless King on your own for once.

So it's fair to say these guys have a bit of a reputation, and most of them live up to it.

Then, we meet the Twin Princes. Two teenagers, one bedbound, the other mute and hiding in a corner. Not exactly an astounding first impression.

The fight itself is over pretty quickly as well, a few well timed dodges here, a few big hits there, and suddenly there's a cutscene.

Turns out, the Princes don't want to link the fire. They've seen how futile it is, and want no part of it. They're even willing to give their own lives to defend each other, with Lothric giving up part of his health to resurrect Lorian, in a touching display of affection.

So just how many times are you willing to kill two teenage boys, one who gave up the use of his legs to save his brother, just so you can light a little bonfire?

What's that Nietzsche quote? About fighting so many monsters you become one? Yeah. Seems relevant here.
