Okay, now we’re getting to the bosses I genuinely like. While its status as a tutorial boss has been outdone by later entries (we’ll get to that later), there’s no denying that everyone’s first encounter with this particular big fella is a memorable one indeed. Its moveset is slow and boring, its design is pretty standard “big monster guy,” and the fight itself is pretty meh, but…it’s a special moment nonetheless. It’d be higher on the list if the fight was more engaging, but it’s too special not to give it some love. The real Dark Souls starts here!
