Should you reach the base & find your way to Quelaag’s lair you’ll be greeted by a demon in the form of a giant spider that utilises fire attacks. Getting through Blight Town to even reach Quelaag is the real challenge here, the place is a constant poisonous hazard & many a player has broken out in a nightmarish sweat when reminded of its challenges. Coming back to him in New Game+ & just destroying him was so satisfying. Wait, all I have is a broken sword & some tattered clothes for protection? At first he appears incredibly hard but he is a great barometer for how far you’ve progress through your first play-through. Every first time player died at this guy & was just left dumbfounded at what happened. Worth mentioning just because he is first boss you come to about 5 minutes into the game. These are my personal top 10 that not only caused me problems but help me appreciate what I was playing & learn to not just like Dark Souls, but love it.

Most of them are tense, exciting & filled with skill & luck based gameplay. It also has some of the hardest & frustrating boss battles in any game I’ve played. Dark Souls has some of the best boss battles in any game I’ve ever played.
