Dark Souls 3: Ranking Every Boss From Worst To Best

19. Old Demon King

One of the few optional bosses in the game, The Old Demon King is relatively challenging. He has a unique blend of pyromancy and melee that can be quite refreshing to go up against.

On top of the unique aesthetic, the lore behind him and the fall of demons is some of the most engrossing in the game. Not to mention the small little touches to his fight that make him that little bit unique. If you get him down to low enough health, he'll do an AoE that will drain him to the point where he can barely fight.

It's quite a sombre moment when he sacrifices his own life force to try and kill you, only to end up defenceless.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
