Ranking Every Dark Souls 2 Boss From Worst To Best

10. The Smelter Demon (Red)

One of the few optional bosses in the game, the Smelter Demon is a very hard fight. Some would say he is the hardest fair fight in the game. His move set is subtly enigmatic and results in his attacks being ever so slightly delayed. Whilst not as apparent as his blue counterpart, it certainly adds a lot to the fight. He is slow and lumbering but requires a fair bit of skill to learn and out manoeuvre. He is one of the few fun challenges in the game and is completely optional, which makes him all the better!
