12/28/2022 0 Comments Kirby s hardest boss everHis hits look slow and easy to dodge, but thanks to that dark magic (as well as those lovely Dark Souls 2 hit-boxes) you’ll need to learn how to dodge those swipes ASAP if you hope to stand a chance against this fallen knight. Now he can create dark orbs all around the arena that hit decently hard, as well as some really tricky to dodge slashes. One you get Fume Knight down to about 50% HP, he coats that large sword with some sort of dark magic. You see that big sword in his left hand? Yeah, it’s gonna be hitting you a lot. He hits like a truck but his moves are telegraphed pretty heavily and it’s not too hard to learn his dodge timing. Fume Knight’s first phase is hard, but not the worst. That being said, it’s still an extremely hard fight. But with them destroyed you’ll have a more even fight. If you don’t, Fume Knight will be able to heal himself, thus making this probably the hardest boss in the series. First things first, destroy all of the little glowing statues outside of the arena. Once might severely underestimate this guy when they enter the fog gate, but you couldn’t have made a bigger mistake. While Dark Souls 2 does include a lot of boss fights with generic looking knights and swordsmen, the final boss in the Crown of the Old Iron King DLC puts all of those other knights to shame. Though I’ve never tried it myself, I’ve heard that Manus can become easier if you utilize a great shield, so maybe give that a try if you’re having trouble. Luckily the DLC has prepared you a bit for unrelenting fights (Artorias for example), so you may be alright in that regard. And in case you couldn’t already guess it, they hurt. Though it should be said that one of his most punishing moves, that being a large combo string, really doesn’t do as much damage as you think it should.Manus also has a ton of dark spells at his disposal. Fighting him in the smallish arena you’re in doesn’t help since Manus is pretty large and can cover a lot of ground. He’s unrelenting in his attacks, but unlike Flamelurker, he lacks any sort of big weakness. The final boss to what could be the some of the best DLC in gaming, Manus, Father of the Abyss shows a lot of inspiration from Flamelurker. #5 Manus, Father Of The abyss – Dark Souls Honestly if he didn’t have such a low health pool and couldn’t be stunned, this fight could have made the top 5. But by far the most punishing move is a devastating 5 hit combo that can obliterate your health if you’re not careful. He can do Gwyn’s kick, his lighting grab, and even throw large lighting bolts at you and make them rain from the sky. He gains a lot of moves that Gwyn had from the original Dark Souls. Similar to Ludwig, I personally believe that the Soul of Cinder’s second phase is a bit easier than the first, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Once you fully deplete his oddly low health bar, the Soul of Cinder stands up and calls upon the spirit of Gwyn, the first Lord of Cinder to stop you from lighting (or destroying) the first flame. His second phase can only be described as epic. A lot of his attacks are hard hitting in that stage, so keep the greed in check. The magic style is the easiest to deal with for sure, but watch out for the straight up swordsman style. The Soul of Cinder employs various fighting styles using the bonfire blade he wields transforming from a swordsman, to a pyromancer, and magic user. His first phase is very RNG heavy, but it never feels cheap. The Soul of Cinder may not look like much, but this final challenger in Dark Souls 3 certainly knows how to put up a fight. But if you try to take on this guy just using melee like I did, you’ll be in for one of the series’ most intense and fun fights. If you have any kind of magic attacks and know how to exploit Flamelurker’s AI, he’ll be a total pushover. Flamelurker could have made it into the top 5 if he just didn’t have such exploitable AI, as well as a HUGE weakness to magic. A lot of his attacks also have fire AOE afterwards, making dodging tricky to say the least. Beating this guy in my first playthrough of Demon’s Souls by just using melee attacks was definitely one of my favorite gaming memories as it provides you with a huge sense of accomplishment.įlamelurker has the philosophy of: keep on top of my opponent and never give them the chance to do anything. Easily the most difficult boss in Demon’s Souls, Flamelurker provides a hefty challenge for those who dare to fight it. Flamelurker is one of those bosses that set a precedence for many other bosses in the Souls series.
