Let me know if you guys liked this one! Had a lot of fun talking about my favorite boss from main game Dark Souls
-
I honestly think it’s better to canonically not fight or kill some bosses. Crossbreed Priscilla and Nameless King are 2 of them. They had no problem with you. You’re the one who broke into their home and murdered them.
-
My favorite thing about FromSoft is that they're not afraid to put things in their games that people will miss. Its what keeps us coming back for more.
-
The way lore and bosses connect between the games through environmental story telling and item descriptions is absolutely beautiful
-
The crazy thing is the Nameless King became the difficulty standard going into the DLC for DS3. Ashes of Ariandel gave us arguably the hardest boss in DS3 in Sister Friede and Ringed City gave us insane bosses like Demon Prince, Slave Knight Gael and Darkeater Midir.
-
Nameless king is one of the few bosses I respect in terms of lore. You can see in his environment that there's good about him. Arch dragon peak is one of the few well lit areas in the game with the enemies being more alive compared to other parts. It tells you that this man had a good heart. In contrast, just about every other area was a disaster, shown complete neglect by its local ruler.
-
I don’t think it took until Nameless King to change Souls. I think that honor goes to Artorias. No single one-on-one boss fight before him was as aggressive and punishing as he was. That’s why I believe he was the turning point.
-
Man, i love the Nameless king as a boss. i somehow killed him within 5 tries. yet when i do it now i am easily getting killed 15 times whenever i go back too Ds3. yet i never feel bad about being killed by him. truly a well made boss!
-
Favorite part about the cutscene is you see the sword spear shake a little bit before striking, showing a little hesitancy or even sadness, unlike the callous disrespect of Smough's hit in DS1's scene.
-
Many others will say it as well, but I believe it's inferred, especially from the cut scene, that the nameless king found a companion with a dragon and that was why he switched sides. You can tell from the head pat and the fact his hand and weapon tremble before he finishes off his friend to absorb his power to destroy you that he cares for this mighty beast.
-
I remembered fighting him 30+ times at midnight until I decided to sleep coz I had classes the next day. I woke up earlier than usual so I decided to fight him again and it took me literally 2 tries to beat him. I guess sleeping/taking a break for some time works.
-
You can tell that Nameless King not only had a big impact on fans but on Fromsoft themselves. So many bosses in Elden Ring and Sekiro just feel like they were inspired by him.
-
Nameless King is a boss that has gotten significantly easier as time for me as time goes on, but it's one that isn't completely reliant on its difficulty in order to remain a fun fight, which I think speaks of its quality. He's also a cool payoff for a lingering plot-thread that's been hinted at since the 1st game with Gwyn's firstborn. I could do without the chicken, but otherwise a fantastic encounter.
-
One of my favorites from DS3, I actually got to him before Soul of Cinder and took me well over 20 attempts to kill him. Amazing fight and after him, Soul of Cinder was a walk in the park.
-
Probably the most badass boss fight in the whole trilogy considering how much the final son of gwyn was hyped up
-
Remembering seeing all the top 10 videos of "hardest bosses in the world" in 2016 and nameless king being in all of them. Now imagine if someone like malenia was in ds 3 instead of nameless king the discourse would've been probably much different
-
Laerning the pattern of the Nameless King was one of the most satisfying experiences I've ever had in a video game. The first time around I beat him with a friend, but I redid him with a dex build solo and it was glorious.
-
The nameless king is an awesome boss both from an game play & lore perspective. Can't say the same about the FUCKING CHICKEN!
-
the funniest thing is that even tough nameless king probably took me so many trials, i always felt like i could still do it, but while fighting pontiff sulyvahn it took me even more time and i was completely hopeless and tought i could literally never do it lol
-
No clue how long it took me to beat him but I remember how I beat him. I ended up turning off the music and putting in the ring that made your foot steps silent. I literally learned how to dodge his attacks from audio cues. He's one of my favorite fights in the soulsborn games #1 is still probably orphan though.
