Ranking Every Dark Souls Boss From Worst To Best

6. Sanctuary Guardian

The first of the four DLC bosses and the opening challenge to the entire add-on, the Sanctuary Guardian begins the trend of aggressive boss design that the DLC embodies.

Constantly chasing the player and forcing them to stand their ground to wait for opportunities instead of relying of being able to flee, the Guardian is a real challenge. And on top of bearing a resemblance to a Manticore, he also uses lightning attacks which conduct through water, adding a small, but cool little feature.

The only reason he isn't higher is because his placement feels a little random. No explanation, no lore, no nothing. Just there. Everyone's glad he is, but a little hint at a reason why would've been nice.
