12 Most Painfully Disappointing Video Game Boss Battles
7. Bed Of Chaos - Dark Souls
Ah, the Bed of Chaos. The BoC. Or, as anyone who had the misfortune to play it calls it, the BoCC (Definitions of the extra C vary from person to person).
Bed of Chaos is a double disappointment as a boss. First of all, it's a roulette wheel of a fight - throwing away the pattern recognition and accumulation of skill that Dark Souls is known for in favour of having the player jog through a random flailing of tentacles with nothing but hope and muttered oaths to prevent them being swatted into a bottomless pit.
Secondly, it's an insult to the world building that has led to the fight. The Bed of Chaos is the progenitor of all the demons that plague the world of Dark Souls, and deserves a boss fight worthy of its status in the lore. Unfortunately, what we actually get is the mess described in the above paragraph.
A boss battle that is an insult to both the gamer and the boss itself, the Bed of Chaos fully deserves its reputation as the worst moment in the original Dark Souls.
