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

2. Deacons Of The Deep

There's rarely much love among Souls fans for bosses that are simply made up of a large crowd of enemies marching towards you, yet there's something charmingly sinister about this malign brotherhood of monks, who once again evoke the christian imagery (lackies of Pontiff Sulyvahn, perhaps?), and walk you down while pelting you with fireballs and magic. Without giving too much away, the battle is more than a simple matter of slashing your way through all of them, and you'll need to figure out a way of taking them down before they overwhelm you like a horde of George Romero zombies. The lore suggests these guys are worshippers of Aldrich (who is, after all, the Saint of the Deep), and look after his coffin after he left for the Boreal Valley. The deacons are led by one Archdeacon Royce, who heads this most sinister of processions as it attempts to prevent you from violating Aldrich's tomb.
