Sometimes the visual design is better than the fight, you know? (Like mergo’s wet nurse) So let’s talk aesthetics for a moment. What’s a soulslike boss design that made you go… Wooow! And why? From any game (Horny answers are welcome as well)

For me it’s Divine Beast Dancing Lion. when the trailer for SoTE dropped and this boss was revealed I got chills. It’s not my favourite fight by a long shot, too chaotic; but design wise the lion dancers are such an inspired choice. It instantly communicates a strong and agile enemy, the horns promised interesting lore implications. It’s sort of grotesque looking? But also grandiose and regal, in a way. It poses many questions, feels enticing…

What about you?

My horny answers would be Radagon. (Redhead Peter Steele) :P and Godfrey. Hell let’s thow in Lady Maria as well and we have a party.

    I love Ludwig for how horrifying his design is. He’d be my top pic overall.

      Good picks

      Ludwig’s over the top grotesqueness is great. The arena, the screech. An amazing score. I could go on and on…

      Sif: Best boy <3

      Dancer… Is this the one that spawns in nightreign? Haven’t encountered it yet. And havent played DS3. But the design looks cool af.

      Maliketh is also very cool looking. The voice is great as well
