Dark Souls: 10 Most Disgustingly-Programmed Boss Fights

10. Bell Gargoyles

The Bell Gargoyles was one of the first boss encounters of the game, and did not hold back on showing off the game's difficulty. These two terrors surely caused 99% of new players a world of anguish with their axe-swinging, tail-lashing, fire-breathing antics. The encounter starts with just one of them. It was a hard enough task just getting that thing down to 50% health €“ but when you did - oh joy of joys - its buddy came to join in the fun. You dodge the plunging axe of one only to roll into the fire of the other. You take a swing at one, and get smacked in the face by the tail of the other. Sometimes, it seemed the only way to dodge everything was to accidentally roll off the roof altogether, which of course made us feel terribly silly. The fight taught us to be painfully aware of the fact that every move you make had to be considered a wise one before it was executed. All in all, it was a chaotically fun fight which certainly provoked much frustration for the newly initiated.
