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

6. Farron's Undead Legion, The Abyss Watchers

No Dark Souls game would be complete without a brutally difficult multi-boss battle. In Dark Souls we had the Four Kings, in Dark Souls 2 the Ruin Sentinels, and it looks like Farron's Undead Legion will be stepping up to the plate in Dark Souls 3. The Abyss Watchers are introduced in the trailer as some of the Lords of Cinder... or is it that together they add up to one of the Lords of Cinder, sort of like the Power Rangers combining to form the Megazord? Having already seen them in action, we can confirm that their fighting style has echoes of Lady Maria from Bloodborne, with a similar appearance and fast, duelling fight style. All you Dark Souls lore buffs will also notice that they carry similar swords to Dark Souls' Knight Artorias, suggesting they fulfill a similar role in making sure that the abyss doesn't spill out into the land. All in all, they seem like a pretty good-hearted bunch. Shame you're gonna have to kill them (after they no doubt kill you countless times).
