This was a collaboration with my friend @goddammitdion for Volume 1 of the fashion zine [furalamode] run by my friend @cinamoncune. This charity zine is full of wonderful art from over 40 artists and and is available for ordering! A portion of the profits earned from the zine will be donated to Cruz Roja Mexicana so you are supporting a great cause and getting great art!

yeah, i'll have to agree to the DeS gimmick point you made, but then again I wouldn't want to change any of these either tbh and i DO miss these kind of battles in later games. I thought it made for a nice change (in the game itself and compared to most video games who never step back to do something like this) and it got me invested more into the story if that makes sense.Anyway, i still agree on that it might ve been a bit too much considering DeS isn't the longest

game. Also agree on the funny camera/ hitbox issues ( persuer sword poke teleporting anyone? xD ), especially in 2. As to fav bosses it would be DeS- Saint Astraea/ false allant (boy was i pissed when he level sucked me the first time xD) DkS - Kalameet/O&S...Artorias was pretty great also though ;; DkS2- Raime/ivory king/ FUCK lud and zallen and their /&$&/%$/$( area DkS3- atm Friede and ariandel...also fuck the deacons of the deep xD BB- Laurence/Ludwig

Yeah, I actually like the mix of both a lot, it’s refreshing to have a relatively easy but very interesting lore boss after a hard one and DeS did feel kinda clunky gameplay wise so having more skill based bosses could’ve dragged it down maybe. Honestly I think the worst bosses from it are the dirty colossus and the leech thing I forgot the names of because they were just a bit boring. 

“@pureirishnonsense @rinboz Dancer is a goddamn joy to fight and I love...”

Well if it's about 2 specifically i kinda see where ppl are coming from but even there it's (imo) not even close to being the most glaring issue, i think the boss shape is secondary, it's much more important how the devs handle it (maiden astraea being one of my fav FROM examples). xD I guess he doesn't , you were talking dark souls after all but I JUST FUCKING LOVE LUDWIG!

Nah, I’ve seen people list every single vaguely humanoid boss in each game as a problem, not really taking into account how the fight actually goes, but that’s the internet for you. Also yeah, DaS2 had more of a too much unpolished and incohesive stuff problem than a boss one, there was a lot of cool fights there, even with all the twin dragonrider nonesense.

I like a lot of the straightforward “fight the big knight lad” bosses because that’s where most of the really hype fights are, while the more creative ones often have weird camera and hitboxes or are just based on a gimmick of sorts. Not Ludwig of course, he is rad as fuck, but things like Dragon God are only mindblowingly cool at first and then you just wish he’d stop punching you while you try to reach the button prompts. I don’t even know what I’m trying to argue here, because I love the weird DeS fights to bits, but if I had choose a boss to fight again it’d be the Penetrator, not the Run for the Giant Crossbows.

Maybe DeS was too tilted in the gimmick boss direction and DeS2 too into the Stab Dude one, but you need both imo.

who are your favorite bosses anyway

Fuck, if you forced me to pick I’d just go with separate categories for fight I enjoyed playing the most and for the most atmospheric one

DeS - Old Hero / Astrea

DaS1 O&S / Sif

DaS2 Raime / Burnt Ivory King 

DaS3 Champ Gundyr&Soul of Cinder / Nameless King 

BB - I didn’t get the chance to play all of the DLC yet because I borrowed the ps4 from a m8 so Gehrman / Rom
