10 Seriously Hard Video Game Bosses That Divide Fans
1. Flamelurker - Demon's Souls
It's common knowledge nowadays that unforgivable bosses are package and parcel with FromSoftware's work. But when the company released Demon's Souls back in 2009, players couldn't have known the hell they were in for.
Even though this title is tough from the get-go, the Flamelurker is the first chap you meet who feels like sadism incarnate. Because of the fire-tossing beast's propensity to seek you out, you have little time to heal, dodge, find your footing, or strategise. Due to the limited space, you're compelled to face Flamelurker head-on. Since you receive fire damage just by bearing near this living inferno, it feels like you're screwed no matter what you do.
Although some players believe Flamelurker is too hard, others think he's the perfect introduction to what the Soulsborne franchise would come to be. By fighting a boss THIS unbearable early on, it demonstrated there were more arduous encounters to come.
Flamelurker isn't just a monstrous boss. He serves as a warning that players needs to up their game. If they hope to win, they need get used to difficulty spikes and bosses who redefined the word "unfair."
