Ranking Every Dark Souls 2 Boss From Worst To Best

30. The Ancient Dragon

Another example of difficulty for the sake of difficulty. The Ancient Dragon has a massive health pool, can one-shot you and has attacks that can hit you nearly anywhere in the boss arena. It's just insanely difficult for the sake of it. Kalameet was a difficult dragon because of his move set, not the fact that he was insanely overpowered. The Ancient Dragon is more annoying that fun and is more about perseverance than learning how to beat him. He's just not fun and that is the prime element in a good boss. A boss can be difficult and fun. But he's just difficult.

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.
