10 Terrifying Dark Souls 3 Bosses We Can't Wait To Fight
8. Yhorm, The Giant
Probably the single most imposing creature from all the Dark Souls 3 trailers we've seen so far is this faceless dude, who's clearly of the same species as the giants from Dark Souls 2, though decidedly more menacing with his flaming sword and suit of chainmail. Billed as the 'reclusive lord of the profaned capital' and one of the Lords of Cinder, Yhorm presumably presides over the capital of Lothric, the kingdom where Dark Souls 3 takes place. The fact that he's a giant has given rise to a fair few theories that the world of Dark Souls 3 is connected to that of Dark Souls 2 in a quite literal way, and is possibly the 'Land to the North' from which the giants invaded the kingdom of Drangleic. Hopefully Yhorm will give a better account of the giants than the ones who we fought in Dark Souls, where the fight mostly entailed running between their gangly legs and hacking at their heels. The latest launch trailer suggest Yhorm is a more vicious, proactive boss who's not afraid to unleash some combos with that smouldering blade of his.
