10 Terrifying Dark Souls 3 Bosses We Can't Wait To Fight

7. The Nameless King

In Dark Souls 2, we were up to our knees in Dragonriders, who acted as kind-of caretaker bosses who'd jump in when the creative department couldn't be bothered to come up with full-on original boss battle ('Let's throw them a Dragonrider or two to keep 'em busy'). But those guys never really lived up to their names, choosing to fight on foot rather than aback dragons like they damn well should, and therefore have nothing on the Nameless King from Dark Souls 3, who's the first Souls boss actually riding a great big winged beast. Judging by its appearance, the creature he rides looks like its flown over from Bloodborne's city of Yharnam (though it's probably a little bit too far to suggest that the Bloodborne and Souls universes are connected). We don't yet have any idea what this guy's place is in the Dark Souls 3 universe, although his lightning-charged attack triggers fond/ traumatic flashbacks to Dragonslaver Ornstein. The setting looks awesome too, as you take him on in some kind of stormy, fog-filled hellscape that looks about as hospitable as the atmosphere of Jupiter.
