10 Terrifying Dark Souls 3 Bosses We Can't Wait To Fight
5. Aldrich, Devourer Of Gods
Don't worry, I'm with you. I've no clue what's going on in this image either, but it's the best one out there of Aldrich. What better way to intimidate and terrify your foes than with a moniker like 'Devourer of Gods'. There's just no way you can't take this guy seriously, even if from what we've seen so far he/it/whatever looks like an amorphous black ooze kind of like the not-so-intimidating Phalanx boss from Demon's Souls. Maybe the name is compensating for the weird appearance? Among the Dark Souls 3 bosses, Aldrich is one of the biggies as he, along with the Abyss Watchers and Yhorm the Giant, is one of the Lords of Cinder. His other alias is 'Saint of the Depths', suggesting that you may encounter him in one of Dark Souls 3's obligatory subterranean levels equivalent to Blighttown in DS1 or Black Gulch in DS2. Some of the shots of Aldrich actually reveal him to be more than just a blobby mass, rising out of the ooze with a spear and a helmet that looks not too dissimilar to that worn by the Gwyndolin, the spooky cross-dressing god who resides in Anor Londo in the original Dark Souls. Could there be a connection?
